Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
On the cliff, Lin Xuan stood there motionless, attracting the attention of countless people on Hunyuan Mountain. Many people's expressions changed drastically, and they broke out in a cold sweat, because Lin Xuan seemed to have turned into a black hole.
The black hole is deep and mysterious, captivating and soul-stirring.
Many people stared at Lin Xuan and felt dizzy and weak, as if their souls and spirits were about to be devoured. They were all shocked and immediately looked away.
In an instant, my whole body was soaked in sweat, as if I had been pulled out of the water.
"My God, this is terrifying! This Lin Xuan is too eerie. Everyone, please don't keep staring at him, or your soul will be stolen."
"This is terrifying! This kid is absolutely not to be our enemy! I never expected that the human race would produce such a prodigy. Fortunately, we have no enmity with the human race. We can just wait and watch the show. Blood Blade Valley and other forces have already sent strong people over. This time, we're sure to see a good show."
"Just wait and see. This time, Blood Blade Valley and the other forces have probably bitten off more than they can chew."
"As expected, those who can leave their names at the top of the Hunyuan Stele are no ordinary people."
...
Many people were whispering amongst themselves, many of them were intimidated by Lin Xuan, and some didn't even dare to look at him, feeling a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, Lin Xuan stood atop the cliff, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, as if he had pierced through endless space and time, seeing the situation billions of miles away. One powerful figure after another led a group straight towards Hunyuan Mountain, each with a surging aura and soaring killing intent. Even from billions of miles away, Lin Xuan could feel the killing intent within them; they were definitely coming for him.
However, he was not afraid at all. If it were three days ago, he would not have been very confident in facing a Golden Immortal. But now it was completely different. So what if he was a Golden Immortal? If he angered him, he would just kill him with one strike. This was the confidence that came from his increased strength.
"Hmph... You all think I'm a sucker, but I'll show you what a whale I am..."
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly, countless thoughts flashing through his mind as he calculated.
How should we deal with these things next?
Meanwhile, on Mount Hunyuan, the atmosphere subtly shifted. Everyone was stunned by Lin Xuan and dared not easily attack him. Yet, many secretly hoped that the powerful figures behind their respective sects would arrive quickly to suppress Lin Xuan.
Otherwise, given Lin Xuan's demonstrated strength and talent, once he participates in the All-Heavens Peak Battle, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, leaving his name on the Chaos Stele and entering the top ten million would definitely not be a problem.
Once Lin Xuan reaches that point, it will be virtually impossible for them to deal with him or continue their invasion of Xuanhuang Star, where he resides. After leaving his name on the Chaos Stele, Lin Xuan will attract the attention of major sects throughout the universe, and becoming a true disciple will not be difficult at all.
At that time, Lin Xuan's influence will increase dramatically, and the forces on Qiongyu Star will not dare to attack the hometown of a true disciple of a major cosmic sect, unless they are tired of living.
So all they can do now is nip this possibility in the bud.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long.
Five days later!
The first group of powerful figures from a sect arrived. It was a sect called the Purple Cloud Sect, a force under the Blood Blade Valley and one of the forces that had invaded Xuanhuang Star. Over a hundred people came this time, led by a Golden Immortal expert.
After arriving with over a hundred people, this person immediately rushed up Hunyuan Mountain. He locked onto Lin Xuan's location, took a step, shattered the void, and an endless pressure swept directly towards Lin Xuan.
Boom... Bang...
In an instant, the sky twisted, and the entire space seemed to be compressed into a thin sheet of paper. The powerful pressure, like a mountain torrent, rushed straight towards Lin Xuan.
On the cliff, Lin Xuan had already noticed this person. Facing his oppressive aura, he remained unfazed. With a wave of his hand, his blood and qi surged, and a blood and qi furnace instantly condensed, blocking all the oppressive aura of this Golden Immortal expert.
"Blood Qi Furnace... Damn it, how can your blood qi be so powerful? You're actually a human, how is that possible?"
A deep voice boomed through the air, like a thunderclap, causing the void to tremble. The Golden Immortal expert radiated divine light, revealing his true form: a demon emperor with a human body and a bull's head.
The strength of a Demon Emperor is equivalent to that of a Golden Immortal among humans, and most Demon Emperors are stronger than Golden Immortals among humans.
A chilling killing intent flashed in the man's eyes. He stopped in mid-air and looked down at Lin Xuan, saying coldly, "Boy, you are very strong, and your talent is even more powerful. I have never seen a human with such astonishing blood and energy. If you were to participate in the All-Heavens Peak Battle, it would be quite possible for you to be among the top ten million."
It's a pity you were born in the wrong place. You were born on that Xuanhuang Star, which means we can't keep you here..."
"So, what exactly are you trying to say with all this nonsense?"
Lin Xuan chuckled coldly: "You want to kill me? Too bad... With your trashy skills, you probably can't kill me."
This Minotaur Demon King's strength is even weaker than that of the Heavenly Wolf in Four Spirits City back then. Lin Xuan doesn't really take him seriously. If a fight breaks out, Lin Xuan is confident he can defeat his opponent.
Because he was so confident, Lin Xuan spoke with much more conviction.
However, his words had a completely different effect on everyone else. Everyone was stunned. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan would be so arrogant and domineering in the face of a demon emperor? This was simply outrageous!
Many people immediately started discussing it.
"Damn, this Lin Xuan is really arrogant! He actually dares to talk to a demon emperor like that. Where does he get his confidence?"
"He naturally has this confidence. Don't forget, Chi Wudi once killed a Golden Immortal, but he died at Lin Xuan's hands. This shows how strong Lin Xuan is. This Mangniu Demon Emperor is only at the beginning of the Demon Emperor realm. If they really fight, he is no match for Lin Xuan."
“You’re right. We can just wait and see. This Lin Xuan is no ordinary person. In my opinion, the Bull Demon King is likely to suffer a great loss later.”
...
On Mount Hunyuan, many people were discussing the matter, but this time there was a great deal of disagreement. Many people believed that Lin Xuan had a slightly higher chance of winning and that the Bull Demon King would suffer a great loss. Everyone was eager to see what would happen next.
