The Prodigies War-Chapter 2285 Charge Out of the City

The tribulation clouds surged, emanating a bizarre aura of taboo.

Before Lin Xun could react, a series of blinding thunderbolts morphed into divine swords, descending toward the weapon embryo that was about to take shape within the All-Wonder Dao Fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the furnace-like All-Wonder Dao Fire trembed, on the verge of extinguishing. The power of the tribulation lighting swords exceeded Lin Xun’s expectations.

The most critical part was that, during this weapon forging process, Lin Xun had used his own dao as the formation and his Dharma as the pattern. The weapon embryo which was nearing completion was essentially fused with all of his cultivation.

Now with the tribulation striking, he was suffering the full force of its backlash. The minds of his true body and the five dao bodies were shaken as though struck by a tsunami.

The next moment, blood spurted from Lin Xun’s mouth.

Despite that, he seemed unaware of it. Instead, he focused all his attention on controlling the All-Wonder Dao Fire, continuously deducing the dao rune arrays and refining the weapon embryo.

This was all he could do now.

Rumble!

The power of the tribulation clouds grew ever more terrifying, morphing into blinding arcs of lightning crackling with a taboo aura as they relentlessly bombarded the scene.

It was a despair-inducing sight. An Emperor-grade weapon still in its embryonic stage had provoked such a tribulation. This was an event nearly unheard of throughout history. If word of this spread, few would believe it.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun had no room for distraction. His gaze burned with unwavering determination, focused solely on the forging process. Despite the escalating tribulation, he gritted his teeth and pressed on, enduring the relentless barrage of heavenly lightning.

No matter what, the weapon refining could not fail!

Never!

However, as time dragged on, the tribulation only grew stronger, seemingly endless. Under its merciless assault, both the All-Wonder Dao Fire and the unformed weapon embryo began to show signs of collapse. Lin Xun’s complexion grew paler by the moment, blood continuously trickling from the corners of his lips.

“Help him.”

In the deepest part of the sea of ​​fire beneath the secret realm, a low, faint voice resonated from within the colossal egg wreathed in endless phoenix flames.

Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor, standing guard beside it, was startled. “Without my power, at the final moment of your rebirth, you will most likely...”

“Help him.” echoed the voice once more, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.

Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor took a deep breath before exhaling, “Is it because his mother is Luo Qingxun? Fine, since you’ve made your decision, I will go all out and assist him in forging this weapon!”

The next moment, her fiery red figure transformed into a divine flame radiating primal chaos energy and streaked into the sky like a blazing comet.

Boom!

Another bolt of tribulation lightning struck down, condensing into a massive hammer of pure destruction. Gray lightning flickered across its surface as it crashed down toward the All-Wonder Dao Fire.

By now, the furnace formed by the All-Wonder Dao Fire had already begun to crack, as if it could shatter at any moment. Could it withstand this final devastating blow?

In truth, at this point, Lin Xun had exhausted all his means. He could do nothing more but only endure.

At this moment—A magnificent, dazzling divine flame suddenly descended from the void, streaking past the incoming lightning hammer and surging directly into the furnace formed by the All-Wonder Dao Fire.

Boom!

The divine flame roared, and in an instant, the lightning hammer that emitted a bizarre and terrifying aura was incinerated, vanishing without a trace.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes narrowed. At that moment, Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor’s voice rang in his ears, “Just focus on refining the weapon. I will handle the tribulation!”

Almost immediately, the All-Wonder Dao Fire seemed to have been infused with divine powers. Flames billowed endlessly, burning with dazzling brilliance, vast and magnificent.

It should be mentioned that the true form of Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor was the innate dao fire of the Treasure Refining Furnace. Now that she was assisting the All-Wonder Dao Fire in refining a weapon, how could it be anything but extraordinary?

Lin Xun’s spirits lifted, and without hesitation, he concentrated fully on setting up the arrays and refining the weapon embryo.

Rumble—

Above, the tribulation clouds churned, sending down bolts of tribulation lightning one after another. However, the moment they descended, they were intercepted and neutralized by the power of Thousand Fire Spirit Emperor.

More astonishingly, once the tribulation power was dispelled, its essence was absorbed into the All-Wonder Dao Fire, thereby accelerating Lin Xun’s weapon refinement at an unprecedented pace!

Within minutes, the weapon embryo was successfully refined!

It took the shape of a three-legged furnace with two handles, identical to the one formed by Lin Xun’s Will Dharma Form in his mind-sea.

Intricate dao rune patterns adorned its outer walls, while within the furnace, countless dao rune symbols, born from various supreme arts, surged and interweaved.

Although still only in its embryonic state, it radiated an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it had existed since the dawn of time. An indescribable sense of immortality emanated from it, as though it contained the essence of eternity itself.

Of course, this was only the initial form. Its true nature would only fully manifest once the refinement process was complete.

At this moment, Lin Xun dared not let down his guard. He was wholly immersed in the refinement process. His mind was clear and he had cast aside all distractions.

As time passed, the embryonic furnace underwent continuous transformations, growing more refined, more perfected, unveiling an array of astonishing wonders...

......

In the Thousand Flame Imperial City, the dao rune restriction arrays roared as the vast and ancient stronghold of the Celestial Phoenix World faced a relentless siege.

Beyond the city walls, fifty Emperors from the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans, led by Emperor Ancestor Wanliu and Emperor Ancestor Qianyin, unleashed an all-out assault.

Mighty dao arts surged like a tidal wave, and Emperor-grade weapons rained down like falling stars. Each strike exuded unparalleled brilliance as they bombarded the city with earth-shattering force.

Rumble—

The Ultimate Restriction Array encasing the city roared like a storm, surging with torrents of destructive power, setting off monstrous waves of divine light.

The scene was undoubtedly terrifying.

It had to be said that any of these Emperors possessed the power to incinerate mountains and boil seas with a flick of their finger.

Now, fifty of such terrifying figures had joined forces, wielding their boundless cultivation and Emperor-grade weapons in a coordinated assault.

There was absolutely no doubt that without the Divine Forge Imperial Clan meticulously laid out numerous and ancient arrays over the ages, Thousand Flame Imperial City would have long been reduced to ruins.

Even so, the Ultimate Restriction Array, like a massive screen of divine light, continuously neutralized the devastating blows from every direction, but it was visibly trembling under the sheer force of the attack. Within the city, unease spread. How much longer could the barriers hold?

Inside the city, Huang Cangtian’s brows were deeply furrowed, his expression grim.

Near him, the old antiques of the Celestial Phoenix Clan wore similarly somber expressions, their hearts weighed down by a looming sense of unease.

“How long can the city’s ultimate array hold?” asked Huang Cangtian.

“At most...three days.” replied Lian Qingqi, the Grand Elder of the Divine Forge Imperial Clan, after a brief hesitation. He then added, “Lord, in my opinion, if it’s purely a contest of strength, we have nothing to fear. But our real concern should be whether they’ll send dao rune founders to break the array.”

Huang Cangtian's frown deepened. The White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans had clearly come prepared. How could they not have accounted for the formidable defenses of the Thousand Flame Imperial City?

In truth, it was highly likely that they had already enlisted dao rune founders in secret, working to deduce and exploit the Ultimate Restriction Array’s weakness!

“Clan Leader, according to the latest intelligence, the forces attacking now are merely the vanguard forces of the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Clans. Once the big shot from the Luo Clan arrives, they will then launch a full-scale assault.”

Someone spoke anxiously, “If we just keep defending like this, the longer we drag things out, the worse our situation will become...”

Everyone knew this, but no one had a viable solution.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew heavy and oppressive.

What frustrated them the most was that while the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans bombarded the city with all their full strength, they also hurled taunts and threats, their words dripping with disdain.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, “Why don’t we take the fight outside the city?”

In the distance, Lian Jiuxiao was approaching with Xi, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow.

The one who spoke was none other than Xi.

Huang Cangtian and the other old antiques of the Celestial Phoenix Clan were all taken aback, bewilderment flashing in their eyes.

However, when, Lian Jiuxiao explained that Xi and the others had arrived with Lin Xun, realization dawned on their faces.

“The city is already under siege by the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Clans. If we rush out recklessly now, we’ll most likely be surrounded.”

Huang Cangtian explained, “Now is not the time to go to war with them.”

He was waiting, waiting for the Celestial Phoenix Progenitor Ancestor to awaken and be reborn! Only then might they have a chance to completely turn the tide.

Boom!

Just then, near the distant city wall, the Ultimate Restriction Array let out a deafening rumble, showing signs of collapsing.

“This is bad! They’re breaking through!” An old monster of the Divine Forge Imperial Clan who was responsible for maintaining the array cried out in alarm.

Everyone’s expression changed.

They had cracked the ultimate array.

The worst possible scenario was unfolding before their eyes.

“Then, we’ll just kill those trying to break the array.” Big Yellow spoke casually, its eyes gleaming with anticipation, eager for the taste of White Tigers and Black Tortoises.

Many objected, “No, if we leave the city to attack, we’ll only put ourselves in even greater danger!”

“Danger?” Big Yellow sneered, “I think you’re just overthinking things. Fine, I’ll do it myself.”

Xi’s response was much more direct. Without a word, she shot toward the city wall that was about to be breached.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi and Big Yellow followed without hesitation.

“Nonsense! Do they really think we’re cowards? We’re doing this for their own good!” grumbled an old antique of the Celestial Phoenix Clan.

“Clan Leader, stop them quickly. If anything happens to them, how will we explain it to Lin Xun?” someone urged anxiously.

However, before Huang Cangtian could say anything, Xi, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow had already charged out of the city.

“They...”

Everyone watching was both anxious and furious. At such a critical moment, they were still acting recklessly. If something went wrong, wouldn’t the Celestial Phoenix Clan be forced to risk everything to save them?

Meanwhile, outside the city, thunderous cheers erupted:

“They’ve finally come out! Those cowards couldn’t sit still any longer!”

“Quick, capture and kill them!”

“Hahaha, are all the warriors of the Celestial Phoenix Clan dead? They actually sent two women and a dog out to die?”

Emperor Ancestor Wanliu and Emperor Ancestor Qianyin burst into mocking laughter. When people were desperate, they tended to act foolishly!

The faces of Huang Cangtian and the others darkened..

Taking a deep breath, Huang Cangtian gave the order, “Fine, prepare for a rescue. No matter what, the three fellow daoists are fighting for our Celestial Phoenix Clan. We can’t let them meet their end like this...Huh?”

However, before he could finish speaking, something outside the city took everyone by surprise!
