808 Re-emergence of the Great Desolation Scripture

Rumble!

The vast earth started to emit minute but rapid vibrations. Wave after wave offluctuations started to wildly radiate from Lin Dong at a speed that wasvisible to the naked eye.

As the fluctuations spread out, the entire stretch of earth started to turndesolate and barren at an astonishing rate. The originally verdant mountainpeak was now rapidly turning withered and yellow, while a desolate auragradually radiated outwards.

While the land was turning barren, waves of boundless energy akin to an oceanpoured out from the earth. Finally they converged at the origin of thedesolation, Lin Dong’s body, like surging tides.

“This is… the Dao Sect’s Great Desolation Scripture huh…”

Seeing the sudden transformation of the land, cries of alarm started to ringout from the surroundings. Several people were able to feel the transformationthat was happening to the land. Moreover, they could also feel the boundlessenergies that was surging like a flood within the earth through their feet.

“I would have never imagined that Lin Dong would have actually successfulmastered the Great Desolation Scripture…” Wu Qun’s eyes turned grave as helooked towards the figure within the desolation. His voice was filled withunconcealable shock.

Naturally, this was not limited to just him. Even the eyes of Ling Qingzhu,who was standing by the side, hardened for an instant . The Great DesolationScripture was rather well known amongst the other super sects. Back then, thedemonic genius Zhou Tong had also learnt this martial art, allowing him toreach the apex of the younger generation in Eastern Xuan Region. When hecharged into Yuan Gate in the end, he had turned a thousand mile radius of landinto a completely desolate land. With the boundless power of the land, hekilled three great elders in a fury! Those three… were old monsters that hadalready stepped into the Mysterious Death Stage!

Although the current Lin Dong was unable to reach Zhou Tong’s level now, theGreat Desolation Scripture displayed by him was definitely not weak. No wonderhe had such confidence in facing Yuan Cang. He truly had a hidden ace up hissleeves.

At the Yuan Gate area, several disciples had identified the frighteningmartial art could make their expressions change. At once, fear arose in thedepths of their eyes.

“Never did I imagine that he would actually succeed in learning that martialart…” at this moment, Ling Zhen’s face also gradually turned grave as hemuttered to himself.

“After all these years, there hasn’t been anyone other than Zhou Tong whomanaged to learn it! How did that fellow do it!” an inconceivable look appearedwithin Lei Qian’s eyes.

“There’s no need to get overly worried. Although Lin Dong managed tocomprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, he’s still far from Zhou Tong’slevel. Furthermore, there’s still the Spirit Emblem within boss’s body. Nomatter how much that brat hops and jumps today, it would be hard for him toescape death!” said Ling Zhen with a cold laugh.

“We cannot let this brat go.” replied Lei Qian as murderous intent flashedwithin his eyes. The current Lin Dong had exhibited rather frighteningpotential. If he was allowed to grow, even Yuan Cang might no longer be able topressure him after a few years. Furthermore, could anyone guarantee that thisfellow would not become the next Zhou Tong?

“He cannot be allowed to live…” muttered Ling Zheng as his eyes slightlynarrowed.

“Bang Bang!”

Under countless shocked gazes, the trembling of the land, which had persistedfor a short period, had finally gradually started to stop. At this time, theearth within a radius of a hundred miles had already turned completely barren.A barbaric desolate aura permeated the air, infecting the minds of people,causing the circulation of Yuan Power in their bodies to turn sluggish.　　

“What a strange desolate aura…”

Some felt the change and instantly felt a chill in their hearts. As theyhurriedly circulated their Yuan Power, they tried to restrict the desolate aurathat permeated the area outside their bodies.

Yuan Cang strode into the sky and stared at the youth standing on the earthbelow with a dark look on his face. He was able to feel the boundless andvigorous energies that were gushing out of the land before completely pouringinto Lin Dong’s body.

This was the overbearing and tyrannical aspect of the Great DesolationScripture. It could directly absorb the life force and energy of the land andtransform it into power that the practitioner could use temporarily.

Although most heavenly martial arts were able to borrow the energies of theland, it was obvious that the Great Desolation Scripture was overbearingwithout equal. In the past, Zhou Tong used it to carve a great name for himselfin the Eastern Xuan Region.

“I have truly underestimated you…”

Yuan Cang slowly clenched his fist and said in a deep voice. Saturated withchilling intent, it resounded across the skies.

“Although the Great Desolation Scripture can absorb the power of desolation tostrengthen oneself, it is extremely demanding on one’s physical body. Even ZhouTong did not dare to use it casually. Aren’t you afraid of crushing yourself todeath?”

It was obvious that Yuan Cang had quite some understanding of the GreatDesolation Scripture. This martial art was definitely powerful, however, if theuser’s physical body had not reached a certain level of toughness andforcefully absorbed the boundless energies into one’s body, it would insteadlead to one’s death.

Although Yuan Cang knew that Lin Dong had learnt a powerful body temperingmartial art, he did not believe that Lin Dong could compare to the the ZhouTong of back then.

When he heard the sneer from the skies, Lin Dong slowly raised his head. Onthat youthful face, a chilling and mocking smile slowly appeared.

“Are you sure?”

A soft laugh rang out from Lin Dong’s mouth. Suddenly, his hands came togetherto form a seal. In the next instant, the green glow within his eyes instantlythickened as his eyes transformed into a pair of green eyes. Within his pupilswas a glowing pattern of a green dragon, while an overwhelming aura a giantdragon grew increasingly rich and powerful.

Green light extended and retracted indefinitely on Lin Dong’s skin. As of now,when Lin Dong exhibited the Green Heaven Materialized Dragon Art, it did notlook as gorgeous and fearsome as before. However, the plain and simple look itnow had contained a vastness that seemed to be returning to its roots.

Lin Dong’s skin now appeared faintly green, while giving off an impression ofbeing slightly dry. It looked like a layer of old green dragon skin. Though itlooked weak and thin, it possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities.　

“Roar!”

Green light started to fluctuate, before seemingly transforming into a faintgreen dragon tatoo on his body. A deep dragon roar resounded within his body,causing his blood and meridians to instantly churn and boil.

“Absorb!”

With his hands touching the ground, a soft voice slowly emerged from LinDong’s mouth. In the next instant, beams of light exploded from the earth whereLin Dong was and blotted the skies. These light beams contained extremelyboundless and vigorous energy. Currently, they were all completely absorbedinto Lin Dong’s body without reservation.

Furthermore, what truly shocked them the most, was that after absorbing suchboundless energy, there was no indication of his body exploding! Obviously, hisphysical body had already reached a tyrannical level that could withstand theinflux of this boundless energy!

Bang Bang!

As the boundless energy crazily poured into his body, Lin Dong’s aura startedto rise step by step. The Yuan Power fluctuations from his body had alreadyreached an astonishing level.

“This bastard!”

Lei Qian’s face turned ugly as he looked at Lin Dong within the pillar oflight. He could feel that Lin Dong’s Yuan Power had already exceeded his own.

“This life force of the land within a dozen mile radius has been completelyabsorbed by him… this radius should be his limit. However… it is already goingto be extremely difficult to deal with him. To think that his physical body isactually able to withstand such an influx of power…”

Ling Zhen’s gaze had also turned somewhat grim. The current Lin Dong was alsoable to make his heart palpitate. This fellow was truly a bottomless pit, andno one was able to gauge how deep it was.

The light pillar that filled the area finally gradually disappeared. Within itwas the figure of a slender and thin youth. Under the innumerable surroundinggazes, he slowly walked forward.

His footsteps were not loud and clear as his foot landed on the ground.However, they produced minute sounds that were in tandem with the pulse of theland, causing the land to tremble.

As the green light scattered, Lin Dong raised his head. A pair of greenglowing pupils locked onto a gloomy faced Yuan Cang. Soon after, a smileappeared on Lin Dong’s face, before he said in a soft voice, “ How much of anadvantage do you still have now?”

“Bang!”

Just as Lin Dong’s words faded, an extremely boundless and vigorous aurasuddenly erupted from his body. Its degree had already exceeded a half step toProfound Life stage expert like Lei Qian, and was quickly catching up to YuanCang’s level!

“Huff.”

Sensing the two auras that blotted the skies, countless people gently breathedout, before their heartbeats started to increase. Originally, they had assumedthat the battle between Chen Gui and Yuan Cang was going to be the greatest andfinest one within this Great Sect Competition. However, the scene before letthem know that…

The genuine apex fight had just arrived!
