The Prodigies War

Chapter 1706: The Strange Ravine

Several days quickly passed.

Deep in a barren desert, Lin Xun and A'hu flew through the air, heading deeper and deeper into the desert.

"Why do I feel that we're encountering fewer and fewer Treasure Refining Dao Qi the deeper we go?"

Lin Xun frowned.

Over the past few days, he and A'hu had been working together to collect Treasure Refining Dao Qi. However, they mostly encountered qi of unremarkable quality that had little effect on the Broken Blade.

There was no trace of any Treasure Refining Dao Qi on the level of the Ice Snow Lotus or the firebird.

As time flowed past bit by bit, Lin Xun couldn't help but become increasingly speechless.

One must know that Treasure Refining Land was merely one of the outer areas of the Kunlun Dominion. According to A'hu, they could at most spend half a month more here before they needed to leave.

Otherwise, they would miss the opportunity to enter the depths of the Kunlun Dominion.

A'hu explained, "This isn't unusual. Treasure Refining Land is like a small world of its own. Although it might seem vast, you have to note that there is limited Treasure Refining Dao Qi while the number of experts who have come is very much on the high side. As a result, we are left in a situation where many monks have to share a small pot of porridge, making it difficult to obtain the Treasure Refining Dao Qi you desire."

Lin Xun nodded.

They had indeed encountered quite a number of experts over the past few days. Most of them immediately backed away as much as possible, fearing that they would not be able to escape.

On the other hand, the duo naturally wouldn't voluntarily stir up trouble.

However, this incident made them understand that after killing Wei Ziya and Yan Chunjun, the other experts who entered the Kunlun Dominion had realized the strength of the Lin Xun duo.

As a result, under normal circumstances, those who weren't strong enough would not dare to provoke the duo.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Lin Xun's eyes narrowed.

A huge, abyss-like ravine had appeared in the range of his spirit sense.

The ravine was filled with a churning black fog. From time to time, dazzling flames would flash amidst the darkness, creating beautiful splashes of red, blue, green, black, silver, gold...

A'hu was also taken aback, but an extraordinary splendor soon blossomed in his eyes.

"Let's go and take a look."

Lin Xun took the lead and rushed over.

The black fog emitted a strange and chilling aura and made it impossible to see the bottom of the ravine at a glance. It also blocked off spirit sense.

As soon as Lin Xun neared, he instantly sensed an unknown danger, causing him to freeze as goose bumps appeared on his skin.

He immediately stopped and looked down at the ravine from the air.

A'hu arrived beside him and exclaimed in surprise, "There's so much Treasure Refining Dao Qi!"

The Treasure Refining Dao Qi streaked within the black fog resembled colorful meteors, emitting an alluring divine radiance.

There was also no lack of qi that had gained special forms among them.

A young and tender sapling swayed in the black fog, causing its translucent, crystalline leaves to move as if it were alive.

A golden bird flapped its wings as it chirped, producing a melodious lingering sound.

Rune-like shapes that appeared to be constructed from red lightning flashed in the fog...

A'hu's eyes widened in shock. These peculiar forms were clearly the manifestation of extraordinary Treasure Refining Dao Qi!

"It seems that the heavens are very kind to us."

A'hu revealed an enchanting smile. Although her appearance had changed, she still possessed a natural charm that accompanied her every smile and frown.

Lin Xun also grinned. His eyes burned with desire as he said, "Stand guard while I retrieve these treasures."

With that, he immediately reached out.

Rumble!

An abyss-like furnace emerged, surrounded by entwining Law Power and brilliant light. It swiftly moved to swallow one of the Treasure Refining Dao Qi.

A strange scene occurred. The black fog suddenly surged as ghostly silhouettes rushed out. Their bodies seemed to be made from the black fog, and they exuded a terrifying and evil aura.

Boom boom boom!

A series of deafening explosions followed. With frightening strength, the black fog figures rushed over and blasted Lin Xun's grabbing force to pieces.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes as he followed up without hesitation.

Boom!

This time, he circulated all of his strength, creating an image of a grand abyss in the air. It produced an overwhelming pressure that seemed capable of engulfing the world.

In an instant, those black fog figures exploded one after one.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun grabbed at the sapling-shaped Treasure Refining Dao Qi once more.

A wisp of divine fire that was as pure as the blue sky appeared and lightly swept across Lin Xun's attack, causing it to burn away as if it were paper.

"Careful!" The wisp of Kunlun divine fire had a faint golden glimmer and possessed a sliver of terrifying destructive power!

A solemn look emerged between A'hu's brows.

There were two types of Kunlun divine flames that were known to be the most frightening in Treasure Refining Land. One was golden and the other purple, and they were called 'Soul-Destroying Wind Flames.'

The power of these divine flames could easily kill supreme Big Saints!

The wisp of divine flame with hints of gold displayed destructive power that was far from ordinary.

Lin Xun didn't need A'hu's warning to realize the danger. His expression remained unchanged as he waited for the flame to rush toward him.

Above him, the All-Wonder Dao Fire appeared in the shape of a huge furnace.

The divine flame immediately released a human-like shriek as it hurriedly fled in a panic.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The All-Wonder Dao Fire lightly swept across the air like the supreme master of flames.

A long line of light was extended across the air, bound the divine flame, and pulled it back.

The divine flame was devoured by the All-Wonder Dao Fire as it was a delicious dish.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun managed to grab the sapling-shaped Treasure Refining Dao Qi.

Success!

Lin Xun's lips curled into a smile.

However, he was stunned a split second later.

Black fog surged in the giant ravine as the Treasure Refining Dao Qi fled and disappeared into the black fog like a school of frightened fish.

Lin Xun and A'hu looked at each other.

"Let me try again."

Lin Xun took a deep breath and reached out.

Rumble!

Despite the terrifying power of his palm force, it was soundlessly neutralized and scattered after plunging into the ravine.

Lin Xun's pupils shrank. After a brief contemplation, he summoned a dark blue flying shuttle and sent it into the black fog of the ravine.

A chilling scene followed. After entering the fog, the shuttle was rapidly covered by a strange invisible force and dissolved inch by inch!

Despite being a Saint treasure, the shuttle was erased in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xun was surprised. "The ravine is filled with a strange force that seems capable of dissolving any attack. I suspect that our lives will be in danger if we approach."

A'hu also realized this and said, "The Treasure Refining Dao Qi have probably fled to the depths of the ravine. Since we can't enter, we'll have no choice but to wait here."

Lin Xun nodded.

The black fog continued to churn as time passed.

Lin Xun had already applied the Treasure Refining Dao Qi he obtained to the Broken Blade, causing a Natal Treasure Rune to appear on its surface again.

However, the rune was extremely blurry.

"Every Natal Treasure Rune increases the cultivator's combat power by about 1%. The Broken Blade's next transformation will require ten Natal Treasure Runes..."

Lin Xun deduced, "At this rate, I'll need to collect more than ten Treasure Refining Dao Qi. Moreover, they cannot have lower quality than the sapling-shaped Treasure Refining Dao Qi..."

After an incense stick of time passed, a wisp of red lightning appeared in the depths of the black fog. As it flashed, it cast off sparks that turned into strange symbols, making it look rather mysterious.

Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

He did not rush to act but waited patiently.

Gradually, the red lightning began to dance in the ravine like a happily swimming fish.

Swish!

After finding the right moment, Lin Xun moved without hesitation.

A familiar scene followed. Ghostly silhouettes emerged from the black fog, exuding murderous auras.

However, they were swiftly dispatched by Lin Xun.

Whoosh~

A red divine flame shot out to block Lin Xun's attack. It was suffused with a faint golden glow and boasted terrifying power.

But as the All-Wonder Dao Fire emerged, the divine flame that would scare any supreme Big Saint was swallowed up like an insect.

Lin Xun took advantage of the opening to seize the Treasure Refining Dao Qi!

"Catch."

Lin Xun threw the subdued Treasure Refining Dao Qi to A'hu.

She was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but say, "You need it more than I do."

"Since we're moving together, we should split the spoils equally."

Lin Xun chuckled.

As such, A'hu no longer refused.

The two continued to wait for their next target.

Countless Treasure Refining Dao Qi lurked deep within the black fog like a school of fish. Lin Xun and his companion were like fishermen who could only patiently wait for the fish to take the bait.

Another two hours passed.

Rustle!

Another Treasure Refining Dao Qi emerged from the fog and was caught by Lin Xun with the same method as before.

Unfortunately, this Treasure Refining Dao Qi was only ordinary grade and was barely able to solidify the Broken Blade's second Natal Treasure Rune.

Lin Xun wasn't discouraged and continued to wait.

Four hours later.

Lin Xun subdued another Treasure Refining Dao Qi and gave it to A'hu.

Ten hours later...

After two days, Lin Xun had subdued a total of twelve Treasure Refining Dao Qi. Half of them were given to A'hu while the other half were used on the Broken Blade.

At present, the Broken Blade had formed four Natal Treasure Runes. Each rune glowed gold like a giant golden coiled dragon.

As A'hu had mentioned, it was an extremely rare phenomenon!

Lin Xun also observed that Broken Blade's quality and power were rising at a rate that was noticeable to the naked eye!

Presently, Lin Xun was focused on his next target.

It was a Treasure Refining Dao Qi shaped like a golden battle axe. Moreover, it was clearly a top-grade qi that was far better than any he had obtained before.

However, just as Lin Xun was about to employ the same method again, A'hu suddenly turned her head as iciness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She shouted, "What are you sneaking around for, come out!"

A stream of powerful purple-cloud-like sword qi rose into the air and slashed at a certain spot thousands of feet away.
