The Prodigies War

“What is that?”

Very soon, the others also sensed the deadly danger. They each clasped their weapons, ready to fight.

An unknown danger was approaching them.

Lin Xun also summoned a golden pagoda. It was the ancient but grand-looking inscriptionless pagoda, the Nameless Pagoda.

Lin Xun had long erased Yao Tuohai’s mark within the treasure and instilled his own power into it. Unfortunately, the treasure was too mysterious, so he still hadn’t been able to completely refine it and could only barely control it for now.

Huh?

When he brought out the Nameless Pagoda, he sensed several gazes briefly landing on him.

He noticed that Su Xingfeng and Wen Xiang had glanced at him. The two must have sensed something from the pagoda’s aura.

The sea region grew increasingly silent and still while figures loomed in the thick dark fog on the sea surface.

They were all clad in tattered armor, wielded rusty swords, and shrouded in black qi. They resembled an army from the underworld.

Most terrifyingly, they all had a grotesque appearance. Their bodies were all mutilated. Some were missing limbs, some had their chests torn, some were just a skeleton, and some were missing a head!

However, they had one thing in common. They were all emitting chilling, baleful qi.

There were too many of them!

They blotted out the area and filled the air with baleful qi, blocking the sea region ahead. It was as though an army wanted to turn this side of the world into a battlefield.

“Wraiths return in a new form and re-establish the great dao!” Elder Gao Yang said in a serious tone.

The others looked surprised and bewildered. They could all tell that it was a bizarre army of wraiths and not living creatures.

Wraiths return in a new form and re-establish the great dao?

Who would have thought that something so unbelievable would happen in the world? It should be mentioned that the wraiths were formed from the resentment and vicious tendencies of ancient experts when they died.

Not only did the wisps of resentment not dissipate but they also began to cultivate the great dao. How unbelievable was that?

The army of wraiths silently approached them, treading mysteriously across the dark sea.

“Elder, why don’t we temporarily get out of here,” suggested Xiao Ran. Even if he was extraordinary, his expression also became very grave.

“It's useless. Once the wraith army appears, they won’t stop until they succeed. They will catch up to us no matter where we flee to,” Elder Gao Yang explained.

“Kneel and surrender your life!” An eerie voice rang from the depths of the army, chilling everyone to the bone.

The voice was terrifying and directly bombarded their Spirits!

“A wraith with the aura of a king!” Elder Gao Yang’s eyes flashed like lightning.

“This might be a good thing. If you manage to kill him today then maybe you will obtain a king’s stamp! Get ready for battle! This is a rare training opportunity for you all!” Elder Gao Yang’s voice echoed like thunder.

“Insignificant ants, how dare you go against me! You must be punished!”

A black figure emerged in the void, standing tall between heaven and the earth. Although he was a little hazy, his aura was frightening.

Faintly, they could see a crown on his head. Although it was blurry, it was full of glowing lights and color.

Moreover, he was clasping a sword of white bones, like a king of the underworld.

Kill!

The wraith army suddenly charged toward the ship as though it had received an order.

Their dispatched figures were all shrouded in black baleful qi and terrifying murderous intent. Their might alone was terrifying enough.

Buzz!

At the same time, a glowing furnace appeared in Elder Gao Yang’s hand. The surface was engraved with vivid diagrams of ancient mythical birds such as phoenixes, golden eagles and sky sparrows, illuminating this side of the world.

Myriad Bird Divine Furnace!

A precious treasure of Spirit Treasure Holy Land. It contained incomparable powers and was rumored to be an artifact handed down from ancient times!

“Start the battle!”

Clutching the Myriad Bird Divine Furnace, Elder Gao Yang sped towards the king of the wraith army.

It was destined to be an earthshaking battle rarely seen in the world!

“Kill!”

The wraith army was already charging towards them. Su Xingfeng was the first to launch an attack. His entire body seemed to be flaring up in flames as he swung a red halberd and launched flames in all directions.

Several servants followed behind him, killing the enemy together.

“Everyone be careful. Don’t stray too far from the ship!” Xiao Ran reminded them.

He did not bring out any treasures, but he maneuvered through the air like mist. He also launched a counterattack.

At the same time, Yun Che waved his blood-colored sword. Wen Xiang took off the silver hoop around his neck. Gong Yangyu transformed into an azure goat and sped head-on into the wraith army!

Their respective servants were also dispatched.

“Be careful. You not only have to kill the enemy, but also guard against Su Xingfeng taking advantage of the chaos to attack you,” Zhao Jingxuan reminded Lin Xun.

Lin Xun nodded.

Rumble—

A battle kicked off. Beams of treasure light pierced the sky, and mysterious cultivation arts were displayed in full, creating a destructive atmosphere.

The disciples of Spirit Treasure Holy Land were all incredibly powerful. They appeared invincible as they rushed fearlessly into the wraith army!

However, the number of wraiths in the army was too great. It was impossible to kill them all.

Lin Xun also acted. The wordless pagoda buzzed in his hand, releasing rays of wonder-gold dao light. As the light rays swept over the area, wraiths were engulfed like dumplings into the first level of the wordless pagoda and immediately subdued.

The treasure was extremely marvelous. In particular, the gold dao light contained unbelievable imprisoning power, making it impossible to dodge or break out of the light.

The situation didn’t seem too dangerous. Although the army was large, it posed no threat to them.

Suddenly, someone cried out, “Damn it! Their...their baleful qi will silently corrode the Spirit!”

It was Wen Xiang. His childish voice was full of anger.

Everyone else shuddered inwardly as they had also noticed their strange powers.

Although the wraiths were killed, they transformed into baleful qi and silently corroded a cultivator’s Spirit.

It was no doubt a bizarre and terrifying power.

They had to eliminate the baleful qi once they were killed. Otherwise, the more they killed, the greater the impact it would have on their Spirit!

“Ahh…”

Someone screamed tragically. It was a servant beside Yun Che. A wraith resembling a monkey snuck up on him and tore him to shreds. He instantly lost his life and became a rain of blood.

Yun Che’s eyes reddened with murderous rage as he watched his servant die. A blood-red sword slashed across the air with intense killing intent.

The most terrifying thing was that the wraith survived Yun Che’s attack. Although its body split from the slash, it managed to flee to the depths of the wraith army and vanished from sight.

That undoubtedly proved that the powerful and tyrannical wraiths that could contend with them existed within the wraith army!

Xiao Ran and the others dared not let their guard down. They became more careful than before and always remained near the ship.

As expected, as time passed, more and more powerful experts appeared in the wraith army, bringing more and more pressure on Xiao Ran and the others.

The powerful wraiths were easy to identify because their bodies were more intact compared to the others. Additionally, they were shrouded in faint baleful qi and possessed consciousness and intelligence and knew how to do sneak attacks!

What made Lin Xun feel at ease was that the Nameless Pagoda instantly subdued the wraiths and prevented them from corroding his spirit.

Moreover, to keep a low profile, he followed Zhao Jingxuan around like a loyal servant and couldn’t display much of his true power.

He felt very relaxed, but the good times didn’t last long. A black beam of light shot through the air towards him like a sharp blade!

It was too abrupt and fast, and only narrowly missed his throat.

Even so, it slashed off a chunk of his black hair. He broke out in a cold sweat, and when he looked up he saw the sneak attack was made by a peculiar-looking wraith.

It had a ghost head, pale face, and sharp fangs, and looked very malicious. The weapon in its hand was also bizarre—It was the hilt of a blade!

There was no blade, but a terrifying black beam of light would shoot out from the hilt like a sharp blade when operated!

“Be careful!”

Zhao Jingxuan’s expression changed. She noticed that the wraith was not ordinary and had to be a top expert in the army.

However, just as she was rushing over to help Lin Xun, another wraith intercepted her and she couldn’t free herself for the time being.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was already locked in a fierce battle with the hilt-wielding wraith!

Shua!

Mysterious and dreamy golden light burst forth from the pagoda, but the wraith seemed to know its terror and avoided direct confrontation with it.

At the same time, it waved the hilt and launched a wave of terrifying black qi at Lin Xun.

It didn’t seem like a wraith, but a true expert instead. Moreover, its power was not in any way inferior to that of a Heaven Ascension cultivator!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly. The wraith is more extraordinary than I expected. It is formed from traces of resentment, but it possesses such power, consciousness and intelligence! Also, the hilt in its hand is no doubt a damaged treasure weapon.

How exactly did it achieve this?
