The Prodigies War

Chapter 2171 The Number One Quasi-Emperor of the Great Wall

The yellow-robed man was from Mythical Huang Dao Court. He was known by his dharma name, Battle Emperor Fengling, and was an ancient who had reached the fourth realm Emperor Stage.

He knew that for any Emperor expert, the Great Wall of Thousand Daos was absolutely a Nirvana path which could only be encountered by chance.

As long as one defended their fort and hunted cosmic beasts, one would obtain the cultivation resources coveted by any Emperor expert. This was simply impossible to see in the outside world.

However, Battle Emperor Fengling also understood how dangerous the great wall was!

Over the past seven years, nineteen Emperors had been killed by cosmic beasts. All of their cultivation was devoured, while their bodies and spirits were completely destroyed.

Among these fallen Emperors, the weakest had first realm Emperor Stage cultivation while the strongest had reached the sixth realm Emperor Stage!

Battle Emperor Fengling couldn’t help but shudder as he recalled the unforgettable scene of the only sixth realm Emperor dying in battle.

That expert was from the Imperial Kong Clan and possessed extraordinary combat power. Given his strength, he should have easily killed his cosmic beast opponent.

However, an unexpected event had occurred. A spear came out from nowhere and pierced the heart of the Kong Clan ancestor. His body turned into dust and dissipated in the cosmos.

Later on, the Emperors scattered along the great wall had arrived at an unanimous conjecture — the spear had most likely belonged to a terrifying expert from the other side of the cosmos!

The death of this Imperial Kong Clan ancestor also disheartened many powerful Emperors, making them wish they could abandon the wall and withdraw.

Unfortunately, no one could leave!

Every fort was covered in the supreme law power, making it impossible to leave their assigned fort, let alone the great wall.

According to the Nirvana of Transcendence law power figure, they needed to guard the great wall for ten years.

At present, it was their seventh year.

If possible, Battle Emperor Fengling also wanted to leave. The closest fort to his own was originally guarded by a third Realm Emperor from an ancient imperial clan.

Not long ago, however, his ‘neighbor’ fell in battle and was swallowed by a titanic lynx-like cosmic beast.

In that mouth full of sharp fangs, the third realm Emperor was turned into meat paste and was eaten alive.

That cruel and bloody scene left an indelible shadow in Battle Emperor Fengling’s heart.

Hmm?

While he was thinking about the past, Battle Emperor Fengling suddenly noticed a surge of Law Power from the nearest fort, followed by the emergence of a figure.

This stunned him.

After the demise of an Emperor, their fort would usually be left empty.

This was the first time in seven years that Battle Emperor Fengling saw someone being sent in!

Who was it?

His enormous spirit sense spread out as he wondered.

In the unimaginably long great wall, the shortest distance between two forts was at least several tens of thousands of miles.

Hence, even Emperor Fengling’s divine spirit will was barely able to see his neighbor fort.

Soon, a tall figure came into view. Dressed in moon-white clothes and with his hair loosely scattered around him, his handsome face gave off a calm and otherworldly aura.

How can it be him?!

Battle Emperor Fengling's pupils contracted, unable to believe his eyes. How could Lin Xun, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain, appear on the great wall?

Moreover, only appearing after seven years?

It was simply inconceivable!

Could he have...reached the Emperor Stage?

The thought made Battle Emperor Fengling's heart shudder, but after careful observation, he realized that Lin Xun didn’t possess the unique aura of the Emperor Stage.

This made him secretly relieved.

In the Great Primordial Chaos World, Lin Xun had been a mere junior.

No matter how many storms he stirred up or how many waves he caused, he was still far from being on par with Emperors.

Although he had valiantly fought against numerous powerhouses in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone and transcended to the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, he had still been a junior in the eyes of the Emperors.

The only thing Emperors like them needed to be wary of was his heaven-defying Emperor-killing trump cards. In terms of cultivation, no Emperor would regard him as a ‘peer.’

However, Battle Emperor Fengling still felt very confused. How could a supreme quasi-Emperor arrive at the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, which should have only belonged to Emperor experts?

......

Atop the fort, Lin Xun dazedly stared at the cosmos.

The humongous fort was shaped like a palace. A fence-shaped wall towered in front of it, constructed from some kind of mysterious stone material.

The old and mottled dark red wall was covered in layers of supreme Law Power, shrouding it in an air of unfathomable mystery.

Meanwhile, the fort behind it was completely empty save for a single straw mat.

This was the Great Wall of Thousand Daos!

It was a defense line formed from origin law power that stretched endlessly across the cosmos.

Gazing upon the boundless cosmos from here made one feel infinitely insignificant and tiny.

Lin Xun suddenly recalled the Great Emperor Pass of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It had been equally majestic, tall, and vast that even the sun, moon, and stars appeared small before it.

The Great Emperor Pass was where the Dao War of Ten Directions had started. Since ancient times, it was known as the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s best line of defense which could stop all Emperors.

What about this Great Wall of Thousand Daos? Why had it been built?

Lin Xun couldn’t help but think about the cosmic beasts from the depths of the cosmos, the Sky Demons from outside the domain, and the terrifying will power from a foreign domain...

Second Senior Brother Zhong Qiu had once said that certain beings outside the cosmos would never tolerate the appearance of someone with the potential of becoming eternal and achieving supreme invincibility!

This meant that in the Nirvana of Transcendence, the more brilliantly someone performed, the more likely he was to suffer unprecedented danger!

Phew~

Lin Xun deeply exhaled.

Before leaving the cycle of reincarnation, he learned from the law power figure that the Great Wall of Thousand Daos was his Nirvana path to the Emperor Stage.

All the Emperors who had entered the Nirvana of Transcendence seven years ago were currently stationed on this great wall.

On the other hand, he was the first to leave the cycle of reincarnation and the only person to set foot on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos without reaching the Emperor Stage.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Lin Xun noticed an Emperor’s divine spirit will approach and observe him.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

In his mind-sea, there was also an Emperor-level divine spirit will in the form of a cauldron.

It allowed him to immediately notice that the other party was a yellow-robed man at the adjacent fort.

Battle Emperor Fengling said, "Feng Lingzi of Mythical Huang Dao Court greets this young friend."

Mythical Huang Dao Court!

Lin Xun's vigilance eased slightly. Among the Great Six Courts, the Mythical Huang Dao Court was the only one to always maintain their neutrality.

In that sky-encompassing face-off between the Fangchun Mountain disciples and their enemies, Mythical Huang Dao Court had not gotten involved.

However, Lin Xun had also heard that the ever-neutral Mythical Huang Dao Court was the first to be pressured by Heavenly Emperor Shi when he descended upon the Ancient Nebula Road.

From then on, the Mythical Huang Dao Court could no longer stay neutral as they were forced to submit to Heavenly Emperor Shi!

Lin Xun also replied with his divine spirit will, "Fangchun Mountain’s Lin Xun, greetings dao friend."

Battle Emperor Fengling was slightly stunned when he was addressed as ‘dao friend’ and felt somewhat uncomfortable. To think that a junior would dare to be on equal footing with him.

However, the discomfort soon disappeared. Although Lin Xun's cultivation wasn’t high, his senior brothers and sisters were all incredibly powerful.

If they were to consider seniority, it would be difficult to decide who exactly should be the senior or junior.

However, strength was still supreme in the world of cultivation. Although Battle Emperor Fengling felt a little annoyed, he would not allow himself to be angered because of this.

He maintained the demeanor of a senior and said in a gentle voice, "Young friend, this is the Great Wall of Thousand Daos. How...did you come here?"

Lin Xun calmly replied, "Perhaps it is because the law power of the Nirvana of Transcendence believes that I, Lin Xun, possess combat power that is not inferior to that of an Emperor."

The air he exuded was incomparable to any ordinary quasi-Emperor. After all, was there any other supreme quasi-Emperor in this world who wouldn’t show utmost respect and politeness in the face of Battle Emperor Fengling?

"Heh heh.” Battle Emperor Fengling chuckled and said, "Ah right, although you haven't reached the Emperor Stage, you have powerful trump cards that can intimidate and kill Emperors."

While he clearly didn’t acknowledge Lin Xun's combat power, he had to admit that the latter did have trump cards which could kill Emperors.

After all, more than a few Emperors had died at Lin Xun’s hands over the years.

Lin Xun also chuckled. He naturally wouldn’t tell the other party that he already possessed the power to suppress Silver Bat Ghost Emperor as early as in the Dark Hidden Purgatory.

It must be noted that Silver Bat Ghost Emperor was a third realm Emperor!

Upon seeing that Lin Xun had no intention of continuing the conversation, Battle Emperor Fengling couldn’t be bothered either and said, "Young friend, the great wall is extremely dangerous. You should be careful."

With that, he withdrew his divine spirit will.

Lin Xun appeared unconcerned. He walked into the fort, sat on the mat and began to meditate.

Omm!

Dao light rumbled around him and rapidly thickened.

The cultivation he had rebuilt over the cycles of reincarnation had become a part of himself, allowing Lin Xun to clearly notice a few subtle changes while meditating.

True Martial, Spirit Dipper, Spirit Sea, Heaven Ascension, Cyclic Derivation, Longevity King, Saint Stage, Quasi-Emperor Stage...each stage was akin to a perfect foundation stone of his cultivation. Together, they formed his entire cultivation.

There were no more flaws or defects, only an extremely perfect and unprecedented natural elegance.

In addition, his heart state, will, martial power, and dao...had also been perfectly integrated into his cultivation.

In this moment, Lin Xun felt like a huge furnace that could contain all daos, blend all techniques, and suppress the past, present and future!

A mysterious sensation stirred into his heart as a strange resonance occurred in his body and spirit.

Lin Xun realized that he was a mere thought away from stepping into the Emperor Stage.

He suddenly took a deep breath and suppressed the stirring as his black eyes shone with determination.

He would not become an Emperor without first attaining the supreme!
