Meanwhile, Lin Xun was already rushing at his opponent. With a thrust of his palm, a flaming river of stars emerged with burning stars exploding within it.

It was the supreme-grade dao art, Combustion Star River!

The gold-robed mans expression changed drastically as he hurriedly retreated. However, he was unable to escape as Lin Xun rapidly closed in.

Lin Xun was simply faster. He moved so quickly it looked as if he was rapidly teleporting with each step.

Boom!

The raging star river rushed forth and swallowed the golden-robed man...

"NO! NOOO!"

In the sea of fire, the gold-robed man screamed in terror and helplessness. In the end, he was unable to avoid his fate of being burnt to ashes.

Several experts who had been watching in the distance gasped in horror.

Too strong!

Demon God Lins offensive was simply overwhelming and looked impossible to avoid.

"Youre courting death!" Suddenly, Lin Xun looked back and caught someone rushing toward the flower bud while he was engaged in battle.

Swish!

A blue crystal chain that was only as thick as a thumb shot forth, seeking to wrap around the flower bud and seize it.

Before it could reach its target, however, Lin Xun darted over and managed to snatch it out of the air. Tightly clenching the blue chain, he gave it a violent jerk.

Crash~

The chain seemed to scream in agony due to the sudden strain as an expert was yanked out of the shadows.

He was revealed to be a dauntless-looking youngster with tanned skin and long and narrow eyes.

Despite the sudden turn of events, his response was extremely decisive. He immediately abandoned the chain and twisted his body mid-air to stop before bolting away into the distance like an arrow.

"Trying to leave?"

Icy light surged in Lin Xun's black eyes as he threw a punch that perfectly integrated the Heavenshaking Destruction and Dao Meaning of Water.

Boom!

With a horrifying explosion, the tanned youngster was blasted to smithereens.

Instead of spattering to pieces, his body turned into specks of golden light. This was evidently not his actual body.

Golden Cicada Talisman!

Lin Xun immediately realized that the tanned youngster had used the power of the Golden Cicada Talisman, managing to flee like a golden cicada escaping from its shell.

In the blink of an eye, a top heaven pride was dead while another had fled!

The nearby experts hearts turned cold. Demon God Lins battle power was heaven-defying; he was steamrolling over every opponent, and no one was able to block even a single attack from him!

For a time, no one dared to approach the area again.

It was at this moment that the flower bud began to bloom, petal after petal trembling as they unfurled.

Suddenly, gorgeous dao light shone from the center of the flower as if it was a lamp that had been lit.

A split second later, however, the blossoming flower withered as its petals dropped off. At the same time, a speck of bright red light fell from its center.

Lin Xun reached out and grabbed it and found that it was a jade-like stone. Its upper surface was dotted with glaring tiny blood-red tear stains.

Although it was the size of an almond, it weighed roughly ten thousand pounds. In addition, he could feel wisps of refreshing energy undulations pulsing from its glossy surface.

The scene of a mighty phoenix sorrowfully crying tears of blood suddenly flashed in his mind, shocking his soul.

Tear-Stained Phoenix Bloodstone!

It was a priceless and unattainable godly material that could be used as one of the core ingredients to craft spirit weapons or Saint treasures.

In fact, even an almond-sized piece like this would be irresistible to an almighty Saint expert!

Godly materials were extremely rare and almost impossible to find, while the Tear-Strained Phoenix Bloodstone was a rare treasure even among godly materials.

It was undoubtedly a lucky find!

Lin Xun immediately noticed many greedy gazes nearby.

He stored the Tear-Stained Phoenix Bloodstone without skipping a beat and looked around menacingly. The nearby experts shivered in fear, and their greed was instantly extinguished.

"Heavens, its an egofied ancient treasure!"

"Quickly, after it!"

On the branches in the distance, a white jade flag turned into a streak of white as it zipped away while many experts chased after it from behind.

Chaos immediately ensued as experts employed various methods in an attempt to subdue the white jade flag, bathing the area in rapid flashes of blinding light explosions.

Everyone could tell that this unusual artifact that had emerged from a flower bud was an exceptional treasure!

Lin Xun could not help but be tempted as well. Just as he was about to join the chase, he noticed a dazzling old bronze book emerge in another area.

It was also an egofied treasure and was swiftly flying away toward the end of a branch. Behind it, a group of experts were in close pursuit.

The flowers on the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree were blooming one after another as fruits emerged from them amidst a flash of light.

However, these werent actual fruits but amazing things such as egofied ancient treasures and mysterious inheritances.

There were even a few very bizarre unknown objects that were also clearly extraordinary.

The experts all over the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree were practically going crazy as they displayed various methods to seize the treasures.

It was utter mayhem with everyone either fighting or chasing or both at full throttle.

Shouts, roars, and the sounds of battle resounded endlessly across the tree.

Treasures fell like rain on the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree, making every heaven prides eyes turn red with desire.

A cry of surprise rang out, "My god! Is that a supreme-king-grade herb? It has feet and wings and is running away!"

A sparkling spirit ginseng frantically sprinted through the air. It resembled a scholarly old man with green leaves sprouting from the top of its head and its thick roots shaped like a pair of stubby legs. There was also a pair of illusory wings growing from its back, making it look very mystical.

The spirit ginseng seemed to be alive and was desperately running away!

It was a mind-boggling sight.

There was no doubt that it was a supreme-king-grade herb that had gained sentience after living for countless years.

Such a supreme-king-grade herb was almost impossible to find in todays world. Any King stage old monster who saw it would certainly go all out to obtain it!

"Chase it down!"

Experts shouted, eyes red with madness and greed.

However, the white spirit ginseng was unbelievably quick, moving so fast it seemed to blink from spot to spot, making it impossible to catch up.

Crash~

Lin Xun found an opening and also made his move. With a flick of his wrist, the blue crystal chain sped toward the white spirit ginseng.

A surprising scene followed. The chain passed right through the ginseng, failing to bind it as if its body was incorporeal.

However, this only made Lin Xun's eyes brighten. What a spectacular treasure!

Boom!

He channeled his full power into the Baxia Imprisonment in an attempt to stop its movements. However, he never imagined that even this amazing dao art would fail to affect the egofied white spirit ginseng.

The other experts also attacked, displaying various methods to seize the ginseng. However, nothing worked as if the ginseng was impervious to all manner of techniques and matter.

Several experts were so triggered that they cursed out loud, "Damnit, is this old man ginseng untouchable?"

Others were also demoralized. Such a great treasure was right before their eyes, but they were not only unable to capture it and also felt as if they were being toyed with as they chased after it.

Lin Xun was also somewhat dispirited. To make things worse, the spirit ginseng was displaying a mocking grin while its eyes were filled with clear provocation and disdain.

"I cant do this anymore, I give up!"

Several experts could no longer endure and left in a huff to contest for other treasures, unwilling to waste time on the old ginseng.

Everyone understood that time was of the essence at this juncture, so who would willingly waste it?

Lin Xun didnt give up. He could tell that the old ginseng was merely acting as if it was running away but was in actuality toying with them.

Its fearless provocation was clearly founded on the strong belief that no one could subdue it.

However, Lin Xun still had something up his sleeve. He secretly resolved himself to salt the abominable old bastard the moment he caught it!

Whoosh!

While flickering through the air, the old ginseng noticed Lin Xun still relentlessly pursuing it. The mocking grin on its face grew wider as if feeling smug about how untouchable it was.

In fact, it even began to deliberately hover right in front of Lin Xun from time to time, only to immediately dart away with a flap of its wings when he tried to grab it. Its despicable antics and appearance made the flames of rage flare within him.

The number of experts chasing the old ginseng gradually decreased. Most of them had completely given up, realizing that the supreme-king-grade herb was not something the likes of them could capture.

Not long after, only Lin Xun remained. He continued to pursue the ginseng around the tree, drawing odd looks from many experts.

Demon God Lin seemed intent on trying to wear down that abominable ginseng!

It wasnt a bad situation for the rest of them. With Demon God Lin occupied, he would not have the time to compete for the other treasures. Hence, they were more than happy to let him continue the chase alone.

A few heaven prides even began to gloat, believing Lin Xun would not succeed and end up empty-handed.

The chase soon reached a relatively high point of the tree where branches began to dip into the clouds.

The old bastard seemed a little tired and speechless as it looked at Lin Xun. It had not expected he would be so stubborn and appeared to be intent on wearing out its stamina.

Soon after, it sneered and continued to dart away while occasionally finding chances to appear behind Lin Xun and give him a fierce kick to the back.

Although the force was very small and was unable to harm Lin Xun, it was extremely humiliating. He would certainly become a laughing stock if it was known that the mighty Demon God Lin was being trampled on by an old herb.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the old bastard rushed over again and extended its foot to kick Lin Xun's back with a smug smile.

At this moment, however, Lin Xun abruptly turned around, gnashed his teeth, and said, "Old bastard, I've put up with you for long enough!"

The old ginseng was stunned before it quickly displayed a mocking smile, thinking the kid was just verbally lashing out in anger.

This gave it an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

However, it soon saw that Lin Xun was also smiling. His smile was very cold and an old golden pagoda appeared in his hand.
