The Prodigies War

Chaos qi was everywhere, and the world was silent.

Gradually, a Great Dao Field emerged in front of Lin Xun. It was like pure chaos, indescribable, with obscure laws intertwined in it as it floated and flowed around him.

Sometimes it condensed into a furnace, with the charm of all the daos, and a great force to suppress the past, present, and future.

Sometimes it evolved into an abyss, which was deep and boundless as if it could swallow up everything around it.

Sometimes, all the strange phenomena returned to pure chaos again.

Lin Xun's arts were constantly being tempered and condensed in this sequential cycle...

His Great Dao Field was something that he controlled and was a world of its own. Because of the different qualities, the power it possessed was also different.

Generally speaking, the quality and strength of a person’s Great Dao Field depended on their own understanding of the dao. The better their understanding, the better their Great Dao Field.

However, in order to create a perfectly perfect Great Dao Field, one also needed great perseverance, great courage, and great wisdom in addition to a great comprehension of the dao. Furthermore, one also needed to devote endless efforts to crafting it.

In addition, like everything else, creating a perfect Great Dao Field also required an opportunity!

For example, Lin Xun had been able to condense a prototype of his Great Dao Field ever since he had stepped into the initial Supreme Saint-King Stage.

Many years had passed since then and he had already reached the advanced Supreme Saint-King Stage. However, he was still one step away from tempering his Great Dao Field to utmost perfection!

In a few days, everyone who qualified would be entering the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. By then, the dangers and fighting he would face was destined to be terrible and unimaginable.

This also put a bit of pressure on him.

If his Great Dao Field could be utterly perfected, he’d have another avenue to protect himself after entering the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Time passed quickly like water evaporating in the desert.

Lin Xun was completely immersed in comprehending and deducing his own dao. All the insights and experiences he had gained over the years since stepping into the Supreme Saint-King Stage surged into his mind like clear spring water.

He had studied the All-Inclusive Plant Index and learned about the mysteries of the dao that was contained in all things in the heavens...

He had learned the Grand Dao Yellow Court Classic and become familiar with the supreme mysteries contained in the five internal organs...

All the arts and techniques he possessed had been unconsciously integrated into his own dao during his cultivation sessions.

This included the Omega Lord’s Great Endless Devour Scripture, the World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons Scripture from the Imperial Yu Clan, the Great Treasury Silent Scripture created by Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen, and the Taixuan Sword Scripture from Sword Emperor Taixuan...

In addition, the insights and understandings he had gained from the countless battles and life or death fights he had experienced over the years were also like a part of his comprehension that had turned into a part of his dao.

However, no matter what it was, it had no effect on Lin Xun’s dao heart.

His dao could accommodate all kinds of arts and interpret all kinds of laws, but it was irreplaceable!

Because the dao he sought was the dao of the past, present and future, the one and only dao!

Senior Brother Xuan Kong was considered absolutely invincible in the Saint Stage back then, and the jade slip he had left behind had recorded his experience of being invincible in the Saint Stage.

After studying this jade slip, Lin Xun's understanding of the dao that had never existed became even more profound, and he also became more determined to follow his own path.

All these perceptions, cognitions, experiences, and understandings...were like a kind of accumulated dao potential, and they were erupting in Lin Xun's heart.

A nine-story tower had once started from the ground, and a tree that could be embraced by two people had once grown from a tiny seed.

The so-called accumulation of strength was also like this.

Gradually, Lin Xun completely forgot everything. His mind became empty and fell into a trance-like state. He was no longer aware of the passage of time and had forgotten everything around him, including the sky, earth, and people…

In front of him, the dao was like chaos, rolling, indescribable, and full of the vicissitudes of life.

A calamitous aura emerged from the depths of the sky, flashing with a wisp of forbidden and terrifying power, as if the supreme order of the heavenly way was being violated!

"Hmm?"

"A taboo calamity?!"

At this moment, some old antiques dormant in the Mythical Huang Dao Court all trembled involuntarily as they sensed a trace of abnormality.

"What a terrible taboo calamity. From the primeval times to the present, it seems that there has never been such an occurrence that is happening today..."

"Every 100,000 years, the world will experience an abnormal turning heavens calamity. The Dao War of Ten Directions at the end of the primeval times and the Dao War of Emperors at the end of the ancient times were all caused by the great changes in the world. Could this trace of a taboo calamity also be a similar omen?"

"No, this is just a trace of a taboo calamity, not a true disaster that affects the entire world. I think that this trace of a taboo calamity was triggered by someone."

"Triggered by someone? Who in the Central Plain State would be able to do that?"

In the Mythical Huang Dao Court, a series of terrifying thought intents swept out and rushed into the sky.

At the same time, in the vast and boundless Central Plain State, all of the old antiques of the various dao courts and ancients forces who had been in seclusion for countless years were alarmed.

"A taboo power!"

"How many years have passed so far? How could such a terrifying power appear again?"

"Check it out quickly!"

...

"Huh?"

Xia Xinglie, who was currently at Mythical Huang Dao Court, raised his eyebrows and looked up at the sky as his eyes surged with a terrifying divine dao light.

His eyes were like torches, and he could see through the heavens.

Beside him, Taishu Hong, Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor, Emperor Fire Spirit, Flaming Sky Demon Emperor and others were also shocked and stopped what they were doing.

However, whether it was the old antiques living in Mythical Huang Dao Court, the old monsters distributed in the major forces in Central Plain State, or Xia Xinglie and the others, before they could carefully sense it, the taboo-like aura was obscured by a mystical and mysterious power.

"This..."

"Who has taken action to conceal the taboo power?"

"What an amazing method!"

"Did an Ancestor personally take action?"

"The taboo calamity came from the heavens, but it was resolved… Such a strange thing has never happened before..."

...

Every old monster was surprised and doubtful.

In the Mythical Huang Dao Sect’s restricted area, chaos qi was omnipresent. Lin Xun was fully immersed in tempering his Great Dao Field. He was so focused that he had not realized that just now, when the aura of a taboo calamity had appeared, a line of primitive rune text that was from the beginning of the primeval times had appeared on the Mythical Huang Dao Stele behind him.

"The dao is never forced, opportunities naturally come!”

Eight primitive rune texts had turned into a touch of obscure power within a flash and then rushed into the sky. They completely resolved the aura of a taboo calamity.

This taboo calamity that had originally been aimed at Lin Xun had been silently resolved!

Hualala~~

At this moment, extremely powerful thought intents rushed over and came to this area.

However, the Mythical Huang Dao Stele was now motionless, no different from what it was before. Lin Xun, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele, did not have any abnormal aura around him either.

"It's not this boy."

"That's right, he is just a supreme Saint-King, how could he trigger such a terrifying forbidden power?"

"What happened today was too weird and strange. I just don't know if anyone in this Central Plain State can find any clues from it."

"Let's go, we should discuss what comes next. There is less than a thousand years left before we hit the next 100,000 year cycle..."

After that conversation, these terrifying thought intents all dissipated like a tide.

Lin Xun knew nothing about this.

He was immersed in comprehension while surrounded by chaos qi, and his state of mind was like chaos: vague and trance-like.

Even the Great Dao Field condensed in front of him was chaotic and indescribable, but the aura it exuded had a hint of perfection!

"Chaos is like one, and one is the beginning of all daos."

After an unknown period of time had passed, Lin Xun suddenly had an epiphany, "The Great Dao returns to its origins, nine divided by nine is one, the heavens give rise to forty-nine, and only one escapes. My dao...is the only 'one'!"

Boom!

In front of him, the deep and unfathomable Great Dao Field rolled, exuding a terrifying aura. All of the chaos qi nearby was swallowed up.

"The dao gives birth to one, and one gives birth to two!"

As Lin Xun's thoughts flashed, the chaotic Great Dao Field turned into a furnace that resembled an eternal divine furnace, which could contain all the daos in the heavens!

Immediately afterwards, the furnace changed and transformed into a great abyss, which was unfathomable and endless, as if it could swallow up all things in the world.

Chaos was like one, giving birth to the shape of a huge furnace and the state of a great abyss. This was called "one giving rise to two"!

Boom!

As the Great Dao Field boiled and operated, Lin Xun's spirit and dao all poured into it.

In an instant, the Great Dao Field presented the scene of primal chaos spreading and differentiating into heaven and earth, and all things emerged from the empty void…

It was like a magnificent and complete vast world, with the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars, the void, the four seasons, and the changes of all things...

Sometimes there were winds and clouds, and sometimes there was thunder and lightning, which played out the amazing scene of the change of worldly affairs and the cycle of the heavens.

Three gives birth to all things!

At this moment, Lin Xun was like the master of a chaotic world. An indescribable wonderful feeling filled his chest as the sound of the dao echoed in his heart.

My Great Dao Field is called Primal Chaos.

One day, I will dominate the heavens!

…

At this moment, a line of primeval rune text appeared again on the Mythical Huang Dao Stele behind Lin Xun.

"The elephant has no form[1], chaos is one"!

…

Deep in an uncharted land.

The sky was fractured, and a long river of lightning bolts continuously poured down from the broken area. The rolling bolts turned into a torrent as they roiled and rushed to the earth.

The nearby mountains were all incredibly solid, and they remained motionless even while being washed by the long river of lightning.

On one of the mountaintops, there was a taoist temple. A woman sat in front of it. She had gentle-looking countenance, and she twisted an embroidery needle between her slender white fingers as she lowered her head to quietly sew a piece of clothing.

However, the line being sewn in was a bright and dazzling lightning thread, and the piece of clothing was made of beast hide that was covered with innate dao runes.

With each stitch she placed, countless laws of the great dao emerged, like a bunch of mysterious and indescribable cloud patterns.

"A taboo calamity?"

A ripple suddenly appeared in the woman's heart. She stopped what she was doing and looked at the crack in the sky. She saw a trace of taboo calamity power.

But soon, this trace of taboo calamity was covered up and dissolved.

"The only thing that can get rid of the taboo calamity is a chaos treasure born from these uncharted lands. Could it be the power of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele?"

The woman became immersed in her thoughts.

"Third Senior Sister."

A dull and wooden voice sounded from a distance.
