The Prodigies War-Chapter 1521 - When My Dao is Realized

The underground palace secret realm.

Little Silver frowned, a little worried. "It has been nearly two months. The master is just contemplating the noble aspiration of Sainthood. How come he still hasn't woken up until now?"

Fairy Ruowu was also a little surprised. She pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry. I believe that with his intelligence and wisdom, he will not be trapped by this issue."

Whoosh!

The Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly flew over.

"Little Sky, have you transformed again?" Little Silver's eyes lit up.

At this time, the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly had a pair of wings that resembled perfectly polished, pure black jade. In addition, a mysterious light flowed upon them.

Its body was slender and was no more than the size of a palm when it spread its wings, but whenever they flapped, the nearby void stirred like ripples.

Ruowu said in surprise, "You have already reached the ninth longevity stage and are only one step away from reaching the supreme Saint realm. What an amazing advancement speed!"

When she had first met the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly, the latter had just entered the supreme king stage.

But in just two months, it had already reached the perfect ninth longevity stage! This speed of advancement was absolutely astonishing and would be shocking even during the ancient past, let alone now. In fact, no one would even believe it if news about this spread.

"Before falling into hibernation, I already had the foundation to become a Saint. Now, I am just awakening my own foundation and potential."

Little Sky retracted its wings and landed on Little Silver's shoulders.

"Furthermore, I have also absorbed the power of a quasi-Emperor Void Holy Beast’s skeleton. It is only natural that I should advance to this level."

Little Silver and Ruowu were speechless.

Was something like this supposed to be normal?

At this moment, whether it was Little Silver, Ruowu, or Little SKy, they were all startled by something, so they peered into the distance.

There, Lin Xun, who had been like a clay statue recently, opened his eyes, and his whole body exuded an obscure and mysterious wave.

He stood up, clasping his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky with a dazed expression, as if he was still thinking about a huge problem, which seemed very abnormal.

"Master, he..."

Just as Little Silver was about to speak, Ruowu stopped him.

Her starry eyes glowed with an illusory luster as she stared at Lin Xun and transmitted, “Your master is probably about to challenge the Saint stage."

Challenge the Saint stage!

That phrase made Little Silver's heart quiver.

"Let's leave this place first," said Ruowu as she took Little Silver and Xiaotian away with her. They quietly moved to a distance away, and then she transmitted, "The obscure fluctuations emanating from his body are signs of the extreme transformation of his body's strength. If nothing unexpected happens, then his Saint tribulation is very likely about to come..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the stunned look on Lin Xun's face had been swept away and replaced by utmost tranquility.

Then, he said, "When I become a Saint..."

Boom!

Just as those words crossed his lips, an indescribable, terrifying killing force suddenly descended.

The hair on Little Silver's body stood on end. He stiffened and he felt as if he was about to collapse and kneel down out of fear.

Little Sky’s wings suddenly spread out, but then they came back again. The demonic butterfly was trembling, as if it was frightened and could no longer hold up.

Even supreme Saint Ruowu’s starry eyes fluttered as she sensed that something that was extremely dangerous was coming.

Without hesitation, she took Little Silver and Xiaotian with her and fled further again.

"What kind of calamity is this?" Little Silver was shocked.

It was intangible, colorless and traceless, and it could not be seen, touched or sensed at all, but the existence of this calamity could be clearly felt.

"It is indeed very rare... No, even I have never heard of such a strange and unimaginable disaster happening to someone who is about to become a Saint at the peak of their powers."

Fairy Ruowu's beautiful face had an incredibly serious look on it.

From her understanding, whenever someone attempted to cross stages, tribulation clouds would inevitably appear in the sky. Then the tribulation thunder and lightning would rise before the calamity came. Finally, the killing strikes would thunder down.

For example, when she had undergone through the tribulation of becoming a Saint, she had triggered the Nine Heavens Holy Thunder Tribulation, which was divided into six minor tribulations and three major tribulations, for a total of nine tribulations.

Every calamitous trial had the power to destroy the world.

Moreover, each level was more terrifying than the previous level.

In order to survive the tribulation, she had prepared many life-saving means, such as peerless elixirs, magical and mystical weapons, etc. She had even invited many old monsters to protect her.

Even with all that, she had still encountered great dangers when crossing the tribulation and had narrowly escaped from dying horribly. When she had successfully overcome it, she was on the very edge of death.

As far as Ruowu knew, Imperial Son Shaohao had been in the same situation as she had been when he had gone through his Saint tribulation. He simply faced a different kind of tribulation than her.

But obviously, the tribulation of becoming a Saint encountered by Lin Xun was even harder than theirs!

There were no tribulation clouds, no calamitous thunder and lightning, and no earth-shattering momentum of destruction. Instead, it came silently, formlessly and without texture!

And was this because he had said those five words “When I become a Saint"?

"What sort of noble aspiration of Sainthood has he been thinking about all these days, and how could it trigger such a weird and terrifying tribulation?"

Ruowu tensed up.

As soon as she said that, she saw that Lin Xun had become injured, as if he had been cut by a sharp blade. Densely packed wounds appeared, and blood flowed down like a waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, he had become drenched in blood!

"Master!" exclaimed Little Silver as he rushed forward.

Ruowu immediately stopped him with a solemn and stern expression, "If you interfere now, you will be sabotaging his attempt to overcome the tribulation!"

Little Silver's expression morphed indefinitely as he became anxious.

But in the distance, Lin Xun didn't even frown. Instead, his expression had been extremely calm from beginning to end. He was covered in blood and had countless wounds, but it looked as if he didn’t notice any of it.

He simply said, "My heart is the heart of the heavens!"

Boom!

Ruowu, Little Silver, and Little Sky couldn’t hear him clearly at all. Instead, they felt their primordial spirits throbbing, as if they had been struck by lightning. This caused the blood and qi within them to roil, and they were so uncomfortable that they almost coughed up blood.

This also made them pale with horror.

They looked in the distance again. Lin Xun's entire body was being eroded by a strong wind and melted by a fire.

The wind was a calamitous wind, invisible and without substance, but it could blow through someone’s primordial spirit, blow into a person’s state of mind, and blow away that person’s will!

The fire was a calamitous flame, colorless and formless, but it could melt away human flesh and blood, skin and membranes, and burn away the internal organs!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xun looked as if he had become a piece of charred wood that was crumbling.

"Master–!" Little Silver's eyes turned red and they were about to burst.

Ruowu held him firmly and said, "This is his tribulation, and no one can interfere with it. Don't you understand?"

At this moment, Lin Xun's voice resounded again, "My dao is the great dao!"

Kaboom!

Little Silver and the others felt their ears ringing as stars appeared in front of their eyes. Their six senses became blocked, their faces all turned pale, and they were violently blown away by an invisible terrifying force.

Even Ruowu was no exception!

All of them fell to the ground, coughing blood from their lips, and their expressions changed. What kind of calamity was this? How could it be so terrifying?

None of them were involved in it and were simply watching from a distance. Despite that, they could barely endure this!

Thus, it was even more likely that Lin Xun, who was undergoing such a tribulation, was suffering even more.

This was quite true. In fact, Lin Xun's charred body, which originally resembled a dead tree, cracked and exploded. Only a ball of light that was his spirit remained as it circulated with an immortal aura.

But, things were not over yet.

The next moment, Lin Xun's firm, calm, and even emotionless voice echoed again, "When my dao is realized, I will be crowned by eternity, immortality shall clothe me, and fortune shall become my boots as I tread my way..."

However, no matter how hard they tried, Little Silver and Ruowu could no longer hear Lin Xun's voice anymore.

Instead, they could only tell that every time Lin Xun uttered a word, the terror and murderous calamity that was filling the void was becoming stronger.

Later on, they were even unable to perceive a single sound!

The glow of Lin Xun's spirit was like a light in a storm, gradually weakening and dimming...

...

Outside the Nine Domains Battlefield, in a vast empty space that resembled a giant void.

While Lin Xun was going through his tribulation, countless forces of law and order suddenly emerged, turning into terrifying fluctuations as they roiled violently in the boundless void.

"Huh!" A clear and surprised voice sounded in the depths of the empty void. "This dao actually wants to take over the heavens and replace it. Whose is it? Aren't they afraid of being killed by those who find this taboo?"

Another old voice echoed, "The Nine Domains Battlefield... Apparently, a certain junior from the nine realms is undergoing a tribulation to become a Saint. However, the power that he is seeking is too taboo, so he is suffering from a disaster."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful, domineering, and cold voice suddenly exploded in the empty void, "Hmph! If it weren't for the rules in the Nine Domains Battlefield, then I would have killed this treasonous heretic instantly!"

"Heresy? Didn't we also achieve enlightenment in this way at the beginning? Why are we only allowing old fools like you to achieve their dao in this way but are not permitting others to embark on this path?" sneered someone.

An ethereal and low voice resounded, "We are all on the same path, so why should we argue about this? If this person does not die, then one day he is destined to be able to set foot on the Ancient Nebula Road. By then, it will not be too late to discuss this person's life and death."

Suddenly, all of the voices disappeared.

The tumbling, turbulent, and boundless void also became calm again as all the forces of law and order became eliminated.

...

An unknown amount of time passed before Little Silver, Ruowu, and Little Sky gradually regained their senses and their vision became clear again.

By then, the aura of unimaginable doom that was so terrifying was long gone.

They all looked around. No matter what it was, whether it was furnishings or other parts of the landscape, there was no trace of damage.

If they weren't sure that everything earlier had been real, then they would have suspected that they had just had a dream.

Suddenly, Little Silver's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Where's the master?"

He searched around, but there was no trace of Lin Xun!

Ruowu's expression also changed. Even with the power of her spirit, she could no longer sense any hint of Lin Xun around.

The Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly flew across different areas of the underground palace secret realm. Nothing was found even after searching for a long time.

"Could it be...could it be that...the master has encountered a calamity and died?"

Little Silver felt like he was collapsing at this moment. He was panicking, his chest felt tight, and his mind went blank.

The Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly was also silent.

Ruowu's face also became slightly pale.

If Lin Xun had encountered a calamity here, without him, the experts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain would have lost a pillar. What else could they do to compete with the top experts of the other eight regions?

"Master–!" Little Silver screamed and collapsed on the ground, suddenly feeling as if he had lost all his strength, all his fighting spirit, and all his thoughts.

As long as a God Devourer Insect recognized a master, it will follow them through life and death.

Now that Lin Xun had disappeared, Little Silver had only one thought: follow his master!

At this moment, a gentle voice that had a hint of a smile in it sounded in Little Silver's ears, "Stop screaming. I’m about to go deaf."
