The Prodigies War-Chapter 2301 Mystic Bird Xingluan

Heaven and earth descended into chaos, the atmosphere growing heavy and suffocating.

The moment Lin Xun finished speaking, Xi and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor tensed, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. Their eyes locked onto Luo Xingfeng in the distance, sharp as lightning.

Meanwhile, Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing and the other old monsters from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans remained on high alert, their aura surging violently around them.

Suddenly, waves of divine light pulsed through the air. In an instant, Luo Xingfeng’s mutilated body regenerated, the half of his head that had been blown apart fully restored.

However, his complexion remained deathly pale, almost translucent. While his physical wounds had healed, the severe internal injuries he had sustained were far from recovered.

Despite that, his expression had regained its eerie calm. “The second stage of Time Stopping can only be used twice at most. Any more than that and your great dao foundation will begin to crumble, and even your own cultivation could be destroyed. Tell me, how many chances do you think you have to kill me?”

Lin Xun’s face remained unreadable, his expression devoid of emotion. “Since I’m fighting to the death, why would I care about destroyed cultivation? If I’m ready to risk my life, what difference does it make? Old bastard, dragging this out won’t save you!”

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Xi and the Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor charged forward, unleashing a devastating attack. Both fought with no reservations, each strike carrying the intent to kill.

Luo Xingfeng, consumed by rage, retaliated. A surge of terrifying dao light erupted from him, swirling like a vast starry vortex, distorting and collapsing the very fabric of space.

Suddenly, a fist-sized jade cauldron shot out from within his sleeve. Its surface was engraved with the vast myriad worlds, teeming with countless gods and demons, radiating an aura of endless brilliance and boundless terror.

This was Luo Xingfeng’s life-bound treasure called the Myriad World Demon God Cauldron. A single strike from it could obliterate entire worlds and shatter the starry expanse!

At this moment, he unleashed his full divine power, shaking even the law power of the entire Celestial Phoenix World. The millions of living beings in the world trembled in terror, instinctively sensing impending doom.

Even the Emperor Ancestor beings present, whether enemy or ally, felt their scalps tingle, their hair standing on end.

This attack was beyond terrifying, carrying the force to reduce the world to ruin.

Then a strange phenomenon unfolded. A mysterious white light spread outward like ripples of time, and in an instant, everything fell silent and still.

As if frozen!

Boom!

The world seemed to collapse, the sky shattered, the earth sank, and the void fractured into jagged cracks, spreading like shattered glass.

The destructive force swept across the nine heavens, consuming everything in its wake!

Even though he had braced himself, Lin Xun was still sent flying backward. Blood gushed from his mouth, his face turning pale, his skin laced with spiderweb-like cracks of blood.

Despite that, he paid no mind to his injuries. The moment he steadied himself, his gaze snapped toward the battlefield.

Thick smoke and swirling dust filled the air, the stench of destruction lingered, and from within the chaos, agonized screams echoed from time to time.

Before he could fully grasp what had happened, Xi and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor appeared, grabbing hold of him and swiftly evacuating the area!

Boom!

The entire world was plunged into utter destruction. Even the sky cracked open, revealing the cosmic starry expanse, billions of stars shimmering in the void, as if the dome that covered the Celestial Phoenix World had been shattered!

Lin Xun’s hair stood on end. If Xi and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor had not rescued him in time, then he wouldn’t have survived the destruction.

“Is he dead?” Lin Xun asked.

At this moment, they stood high in the boundless void, gazing down at the battlefield below.

Xi and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor shook their heads simultaneously, their expressions solemn, their eyes filled with grave intensity.

It wasn’t until halfway through that Lin Xun finally saw through the fading smoke, dust and light. There stood a mutilated figure.

His bones jutted from his torn flesh, his body mangled beyond recognition and his head severed.

Lin Xun almost failed to recognize that this was once the elegant and dignified Luo Xingfeng!

He looked tragic!

He looked like a half-human, half-ghost figure, like a bloodied corpse riddled with wounds, barely clinging to life.

However, he was still alive; it was unbelievable.

Upon his headless body, a mystic bird with snow-white wings stood proudly, a look of disdain glimmering in its eyes.

The scene was very unusual, but what made Xi and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor truly tense was that this seemingly ordinary snow-white bird had gone unnoticed until now.

No one had seen when or how it had appeared!

Luo Xingfeng’s headless, mutilated body writhed and transformed, his blood and qi swirling violently. Gradually, his form pieced itself back together, but his aura was chaotic, and his complexion was deathly pale.

At that moment, his gaze fell upon the snow-white bird. His expression twisted with extreme fear and even disbelief.

“Xingluan, how dare you escape from the Nine Nether Absolute Prison! Aren’t you afraid that the clan leader will find out and obliterate you?” Luo Xingfeng’s voice was hoarse.

The mystic bird, Xingluan, let out a cold sneer, “If your clan leader could kill me, why hadn’t he done so already? Instead, all he could do was suppress me with the power of the Nine Nether Absolute Prison?”

Its voice carried a sorrowful edge, “This time, it was all thanks to you, old bastard. By sneaking into your treasure, I found a way to escape the Nine Nether Absolute Prison.”

It chuckled, but its laughter carried a bone-chilling coldness. “Countless years have passed...your clan leader did everything in his power to eradicate us old ones, but unfortunately for him, in the end, without the talent of the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer, his position as clan leader will forever remain unstable!”

Luo Xingfeng hissed, “You escaped from the Nine Nether Absolute Prison without permission. Do you know that once you’re discovered, you’ll be reduced to ashes? What do you plan to do?” freёwebnoѵel.com

The mythic bird’s eyes burned with deep hatred, “What do I plan to do? Of course, it’s to avenge my master, to reclaim what rightfully belongs to my master’s lineage—for my master’s descendants!”

Bang!

Its snow-white wings flickered, and before Luo Xingfeng could react, his regenerated body exploded into a storm of blood. Then, the rain of crimson was instantly obliterated by a flash of pure white dao light.

Then, as Xingluan opened its beak and inhaled sharply, Luo Xingfeng’s primordial spirit was swallowed whole!

Everyone watching from afar was horrified by the scene. How could someone as powerful and terrifying as Luo Xingfeng be subdued and obliterated so effortlessly?

Who exactly was that mystic bird called Xingluan?

Lin Xun, Xi, and Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor turned pale.

However, before anyone could react further, the mystic bird suddenly coughed up blood. Its snow-white wings cracked open, fine bloodstains seeping across its feathers, yet it seemed entirely unfazed.

Instead, its gaze drifted toward Lin Xun, and for a moment, its eyes gleamed with a strange, crazed look. Then, it sighed, “Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer...hahaha, the heavens have eyes after all. It has allowed this innate talent to live!”

As it spoke, tears streamed from its eyes, as if both overcome with joy and stirred by memories of the past—an emotion too deep to put into words.

Everyone’s hearts pounded, unable to remain calm.

Everyone could tell that this mystic bird was deeply tied to the Luo Clan because it seemed to know everything. More importantly it seemed to hold a special fondness for those who possessed the Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent.

At the same time, a melancholic voice echoed in Lin Xun’s mind:

“Little guy, remember, my name is Xingluan. A long time ago, I followed the Omega Lord and conquered the world by his side. If you ever see your mother again, you must tell her that we old ones are still waiting for her return!”

Lin Xun’s expression shifted instantly, his eyes widening in shock. It had once followed the Omega Lord to conquer the world?!

“The chains of order from the Nine Nether Absolute Prison are sealed within my body. Now that I’ve revealed myself here, I will likely be discovered soon. As for the consequences...well, let’s not speak of them,” Xingluan continued.

“Just remember, if the day comes when you have the opportunity to travel to the other side of the cosmos, do not under any circumstances, reveal your Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer talent before you awaken its third stage divine abilities.”

“The divine abilities of the third stage?” Lin Xun’s heart trembled.

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, dark, gloomy strands of tribulation light coiled around Xingluan’s wings, pulsing with an ominous force of order. A sharp, agonized cry escaped its beak, a sound of unimaginable pain, as if it was enduring horrible torture.

Boom!

In an instant, Xingluan’s body combusted, leaving only drifting remnants of ash in the sky.

“Little one, remember, you must obliterate Luo Chen’s primordial spirit as soon as possible, or they will hunt you down and kill you!”

This was Xingluan’s last words, and it sounded extremely urgent.

Lin Xun stood frozen, his mind in turmoil.

Xingluan’s appearance was too sudden, too unreal. Who would have imagined that such a mystic bird would emerge at the final moment and utterly annihilate Luo Xingfeng?

Likewise, no one had expected that not long after its sudden appearance, Xingluan would meet its end, disintegrating into ashes and vanishing without a trace.

Lin Xun’s mind was in turmoil as he recalled Xingluan’s final words before it disappeared.

The only thing that was certain was that within the Nine Nether Absolute Prison of the Luo Clan, there existed a group of ‘old ones’ like Xingluan, imprisoned for countless years.

Furthermore, for all that time, they had been waiting for his mother Luo Qingxun to return!

“No—how is that possible? How could Lord Luo Xingfeng...die like that?”

From the distance, furious and grief-stricken voices shattered the silence.

Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing, and other old monsters from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans stood frozen, their faces livid with disbelief.

They weren’t mourning Luo Xingfeng’s death. What filled them with despair was the fact that with Luo Xingfeng gone, they had lost their strongest pillar of support. Without him, how could they exterminate the Celestial Phoenix Lineage?!

“Little Five, activate the array and wipe them out!” Lin Xun suddenly commanded.

With Luo Xingfeng dead, the greatest threat had been eliminated. Now it was time to deal with Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing and rest.

“Rise!”

Little Five activated the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing array. In an instant, waves of restriction power surged forth, vast and unstoppable, crashing down like a raging tidal wave toward Bai Lingzhen and others in the distance.

At the same time, Huang Cangtian and other old monsters who had remained hidden within the array finally emerged. They couldn’t help in the battle before, but now, with all their suppressed anger and hatred boiling over, they struck with full force.

Bai Lingzhen, Wu Xiuxing, and the others turned deathly pale. Without a second thought, they turned and bolted.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now that Luo Xingfeng was dead, Bai Lingzhen and the others’ fighting spirit had completely collapsed. Even though they were unwilling to give up, they had no choice but to flee for their lives.

Lin Xun watched them from afar for a moment, then turned away and returned to the Divine Forge Workshop. The moment he sat down, the pain of his wounds and the full weight of exhaustion crashed over him like a wave.

During the battle, he had activated Time Stopping twice and suffered grievous injuries. Even if he wanted to fight now, he was completely drained.

However, before tending to his wounds, he summoned the sword cauldron. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he gathered the last of his strength to activate his life-bound Emperor weapon.

Boom!

Inside the cauldron, Luo Chen’s suppressed primordial spirit was obliterated in an instant, reduced to nothingness within the depths of the cauldron.
