Chapter 450 Heaven Defying de


    Rumble!


    The battle cries from the fierce struggle sounded like the roar of gods. Rays of zing light overflowed the distant void, resembling a starry river.


    “This is bad. Quickly run. The de is too terrifying. No Spirit Sea cultivator can defend against the de!” someone roared.


    Cultivators fled in disarray like a breaking wave, their faces pale with terror. Among them were even the genius descendants of ancient sects.


    They were all fleeing in panic!


    “What exactly is that broken de? Why is it so terrifying? How can it kill so many heroes? Quickly run!” yelled a young man wielding a golden spear.


    Like a sh of lightning, he darted across the void. He was a peerless figure from the ancient Daoist sect Gathering Stars Pavilion. He was called Ran Yin.


    From afar, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes as he saw a shaft of star-like de light piercing the sky. The light zed brightly like countless stars moving unhindered across the world, illuminating the mountains and rivers.


    Many cultivators darted haphazardly, yelling in panic.


    On closer look, he realized that a broken de was releasing blinding starry light from its jet-ck body. The silvery light engulfed everything with terrifying power like a river of stars.


    Lin Xun’s heart pounded. A broken de is suppressing a group of cultivators like an invincible king!


    Only a terrifying ancient treasure able to connect with one’s spirit can possess such heaven-defying power.


    Lin Xun thought that his spirit refining gourd was already remarkable, but he realized it was still inferior to the broken de.


    It wasn’t its power that was inferior, but its spiritual intelligence!


    The broken de seemed to possess intelligence as itunched a massacre upon the world. It was as strong as a mighty Heaven Ascension cultivator with its silvery starlight sweeping across the world, conquering mountains and rivers!


    Pu!


    Blood sttered everywhere. A middle-aged cultivator was fleeing frantically when a fierce ray of starlight streaked across the air. His head flew up into the air ,and his body copsed to the ground.


    Ah!


    Some younger cultivators let out tragic shrieks before the raging silvery starlight enveloped and incinerated their bodies, leaving nothing but ashes behind.


    The scene was extremely frightening. A broken de had massacred cultivators in all directions and plunged the world into a purgatory.


    “Run!”


    Terrified, the cultivators fled frantically. The power of the broken de was too powerful and unpredictable. No cultivator could defend against its starlight wherever it passed.


    In just a few breaths, Lin Xun had witnessed at least twenty cultivators die a tragic death.


    That was only what he had seen. Before he arrived, many more cultivators likely had died under the power of the broken de!


    So strong!


    Lin Xun felt tempted. His heart ran wildly in his chest.


    The broken de was a mysterious divine weapon from ancient times and was regarded as one of the most terrifying among the ancient treasures left in the Treasure Drop Blood in.


    The most unbelievable thing was that it was a damaged ancient treasure. It was hard to imagine how much more astonishing it would be in its undamaged state.


    The fierce battle had to be caused by the broken de’s appearance. Many cultivators’ eyes gleamed covetously as they looked at it, and they wanted to take possession of it.


    However, no one expected the broken de would possess such earth-shaking power.


    To Lin Xun’s surprise, many cultivators were running wildly towards him, and the broken de, shrouded in dazzling light, was catching up to them.


    The cultivators sped past Lin Xun and not a single person took a nce at him. They were too focused on running for their lives.


    The broken de’s power had wiped away their courage.


    “Boy, who are you? Do you not want to live anymore? Run!” a red-robed old man yelled when he saw Lin Xun standing there as he ran past.


    “Run?”


    A steely light shed from Lin Xun’s dark eyes and then, under the old man’s horrified gaze, he met the de head-on.


    “That kid is crazy!”


    The old man’s body went stiff and he cursed out loud, “He is so damn stupid. He would rather throw away his life for the de!”


    Many cultivators’ faces twisted with horror when they saw Lin Xun.


    They couldn’t believe that someone would fearlessly face a broken de that could massacre so many cultivators at once!


    He seemed not to care about his life!


    Lin Xun suddenly glowed. zing blue light surged around his body, and the violent power within his body was escaping his control.


    The broken de might possess immeasurable power, but Lin Xun saw it as the best opponent to temper himself and form his Origin Aeth Artery through battle.


    It might seem crazy to many people, but he wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity.


    ng!


    The Violet Soul de shed out of its sheath, and a clear cry pierced the air. It shed through the air, meeting the broken de head-on.


    The world paled as if eternal night had descended and sparked all sorts of visions!


    That was Star-Gather. Lin Xun might appear crazy, but he wouldn’t dare to be careless against a broken de with an aura much fiercer than average Heaven Ascension cultivators.


    Chi—


    The broken de shone brightly before a gush of silvery starlight swept toward Lin Xun. Instantly, the de’s destructive power sent him hurtling across the air.


    Blood overflowed from his mouth and trickled down his lips while the color drained from his face. He realized the terrifying power of the broken de from just one strike.


    The broken de emitted a starry brilliance in the air. Its rays of dazzling light resembled multiple falling rivers of stars.


    Just as the light was drowning him, he let out a long roar and his ck hair billowed out around him. He again brought the Violet Soul de up in a sweeping motion.


    A brilliant gush of de qi rushed into the sky like a sapphire sea soaring to the moon, illuminating everything in the world.


    Moon-Catch!


    Boom!


    The heaven and earth incessantly roared and boomed as the zing light cloaked the area.


    Horrified, many people closed their eyes tightly. Their hearts tumbled restlessly.


    The silvery light suddenly red up, sting Lin Xun dozens of feet back, tearing his skin and aggravating his sword wounds.


    He coughed up blood again and again, but he didn’t die!


    The fleeing cultivators came to an abrupt halt, their countenances visibly changing. They couldn’t believe that someone could withstand the destructive blow from the broken de.


    Chi!


    The broken de shed, delivering wild shes across the universe as though Lin Xun had infuriated it. Enveloped in silvery waves, stars emerged one after another and crashed down towards him.


    Boom!


    It was another head-to-head sh. The air screeched while mountains and hills crumbled and copsed one after another.


    Cultivators who failed to escape in time suffered a direct impact. They copsed to the ground with a thud, their souls almost escaping their bodies.


    Lin Xun whizzed out of the bright silvery starlight with incredible speed, but his figure looked miserable and terrifying as blood dripped from all over his body. Even the air was dyed a chilling red.


    He stood upright, sping his de tight. His ck eyes shed like lightning, and the aura around him resembled a grand abyss as it set off raging storms.


    He seemed to have recovered from his severe injury and grown even stronger!


    “Who is he?”


    Many people had the same question, stunned by the power of the youth. The broken de had massacred countless cultivators with its terrifying power and had caused fear to grip many others. No one dared to face the de.


    However, a young man suddenly appeared with a de and withstood consecutive attacks from the broken de despite being heavily wounded!


    “Heavens, it’s him! The ruthless youngster who fought against the Heaven Ascension cultivator of the Supreme East Sword Sect!”


    Cultivators in the distance also came to a stop, their faces horror-stricken when they recognized Lin Xun.


    “He killed Heaven Ascension cultivator Qian Huai and was evenly matched with Daoist Bear. In the end, Daoist Bear was forced to retreat. Now, he wants to battle against the broken de!”


    “Who is he? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”


    Commotions broke out from all directions!


    Bang!


    The broken de erupted in a ze of divine power, dancing under the sapphire sky and setting off starry brilliance.


    Many cultivators shuddered at its terrifying power and even felt suffocated.


    However, Lin Xun was unafraid. His aura continued to soar. He resembled a divine fiend looking over the world. With a boom, he charged forward, manipting the Hornless Ice Dragon Step.


    The two collided. Starlight filled the sky, and the rays of the de drowned the world. The scene was too magnificent and too chilling.


    Then, the area exploded. Brilliant rays bloomed. The broken de shed down through the air, filling every inch of space with dazzling starlight.


    It was impossible to avoid!


    Lin Xun constantly coughed up blood and continued to bleed as he staggered back.


    Even so, he continued to grow stronger. He resembled a great furnace, burning all his energy, spirit, and qi to withstand the attack.


    Then, there was a violent quake. The blood-red sky rippled turbulently, currents of terrifying murderous spirit flowed wildly everywhere, and blinding light engulfed the world like it was an apocalypse.


    “Although he’s severely wounded, he blocked it!”


    The fleeing cultivators came to a stop at the same time, watching the battle from afar with their eyes wide with amazement.


    “He’s a Spirit Sea cultivator! He’s not even at the Heaven Ascension Stage yet, but he managed to block such a ferocious de. The youngster is outrageously strong!”


    “Did you see that his body was about to explode, yet his aura continued to grow stronger and stronger? I wonder if he had learned some kind of peerless secret art that strengthens himself in battle?”


    “Impossible, there has to be a storehouse of power sealed within his body that is now being slowly released during the battle.”


    A group of cultivators discussed spiritedly, their eyes flickering with bewilderment.


    The broken de had ughtered even a Heaven Ascension cultivator, but the youngster at the Spirit Sea Stage was even more abnormal than the broken de. The scene was unbelievable, as if belonging in myths and legends.


    Rumble—


    The fierce battle continued under the blue sky. The battle between Lin Xun and the broken de, which everyone regarded as a heaven-defying weapon, made the world dim.


    Lin Xun felt like his entire body was about to copse. His wounds deepened, and he felt as though a mountainous weight was bearing down on him.


    If it weren’t for the mysterious Hornless Ice Dragon Steps coupled with his steadily increasing power, he would have died on the spot, no longer existing in the world.


    The only thing that excited Lin Xun was that his Origin Aerth Artery was rapidly being formed. The previous little section hadpletely transformed!


    “I must form aplete Origin Aeth Artery before my body is blown to pieces. Otherwise, not only would all my efforts be wasted, but I would also lose my life to the de!”


    During the battle, Lin Xun bore a look of determination and ruthlessness. He was going berserk.


    The battle might be a rare opportunity, but it was full of fatal danger. Would he manage to resolve his crisis in the end!?
