Tycoon War God

”You actually didn’t die?”

The Heavenly Lake Minor World had trapped and killed Foundation Building Immortals from the Ancient Land Sects before—cultivators who could recklessly unleash their full strength. Yet this perilous world had failed to kill Lin Wudi.

In just a few days, he had escaped.

Lin Mu paid no attention to the ranting Seven Swords Daoist, turning his eyes toward Xiao Xuan instead. ”Kill or capture?”

At his words, a smile lit up Xiao Xuan’s face.

The Seven Swords Daoist, however, was fuming with rage. ”Lin Wudi, do you truly believe you are invincible? Capture me? Do you think I’m as foolish as Ao Guang!”

Gritting his teeth, the Seven Swords Daoist broke the fourth Seal. The air surged, and the void trembled.

The immense aura of his Foundation Establishment Stage power instantly demolished the command center. Amidst a thunderous roar, the two-story building was leveled. If not for Lin Mu’s protection, Xiao Xuan would have been buried in dust.

Glancing at the ruins, Xiao Xuan said coldly, ”Kill him!”

Before his voice faded, Lin Mu reached out, grabbing for the Seven Swords Daoist.

”Sword Five!” the Daoist shouted angrily. A beam of sword light shot out, carrying a sharp radiance as it flew toward Lin Mu’s fingers. ”Lin Wudi, do you think your physical body can withstand a Magic Artifact? Watch me break your Protective Body Technique!”

Sword Five! It was the Seven Swords Daoist’s signature technique, famous for shattering defenses. Protective Body Techniques, Defense Artifacts, and even all manner of restrictions—before Sword Five, all defenses were illusory. For Sword Five was a Rule Artifact!

”A petty trick,” Lin Mu said, waving his hand dismissively.

”Arrogant!” The Seven Swords Daoist’s Qi surged as he urged the Flying Sword onward.

WHOOSH!

Sword Five spun in mid-air and, astonishingly, landed right in Lin Mu’s hand.

This… The first Flying Sword, the one meant to kill Xiao Xuan, had landed in Lin Wudi’s hand. One could argue he had been caught off guard. But this time, a full-powered strike had once again been controlled by Lin Mu as if it were child’s play.

”Returning this to you!” Lin Mu flicked his hand, and Sword Five flew back.

PFFT!

The Seven Swords Daoist felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. He had been wounded by his own Flying Sword. His chest was pierced through, his face a mask of horror.

”How is this possible? How did you break the power of my Rule Artifact?!”

The Seven Swords Daoist felt Sword Five—the blade he had nurtured for centuries—coursing through him like a venomous serpent, destroying his life force.

”You’re just a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator. You are not worthy of speaking the word ’rule’!”

With a thought from Lin Mu, the power of Sword Five surged explosively.

BANG! Realizing the danger, the Seven Swords Daoist steeled his heart and blew off his own arm. Sword Five shot out from the severed limb.

”Sword Six! Sword Seven!” The Seven Swords Daoist spat out a mouthful of blood.

A cyan and a purple Flying Sword entwined, transforming into a gigantic Ziqing Dragon that swept toward Lin Mu.

The Seven Swords Daoist was renowned for his Seven Swords, having spent his life cultivating and refining them. Each blade was famous in the Ancient Land Sects. In the past, he had slain a fellow Foundation Establishment cultivator with Sword Five. When Sword Six and Sword Seven were unleashed together, he could even fight those at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Xiao Xuan stared at the Ziqing Twin Swords, unconcealable shock in his eyes. Such power was likely beyond even that of technological weapons. The destructive force of the two Flying Swords could probably split mountains and cleave seas.

”Shatter!”

Lin Mu spoke a word of truth. The wind howled and thunder crackled as lightning trembled in the sky.

BANG! BANG!

Sword Six and Sword Seven snapped in two. The broken halves flew backward, striking the Seven Swords Daoist once more. His eyes turned blood-red as if he’d been struck by lightning again, and his body froze solid. Even he could not withstand the destructive power of his Ziqing Twin Swords.

He was being paid back in his own coin. The Seven Swords Daoist was finally tasting the terrifying destructive power of his own Magic Artifacts.

Xiao Xuan watched this scene in astonishment. With a single word, the Immortal Swords turn on their master! Can even a Foundation Building Immortal not withstand a single move from Lin Wudi?

Half of the Seven Swords Daoist’s body was blasted away, and the restrictions on his power began to crumble. ”Lin Wudi, you dare to injure me! Then let’s die together!”

All his Seals were released, and the full power of an Immortal was unleashed upon the world. Halos of light flickered around his body, like the reverent worship of all creation or the glow of the gods themselves. His voice, full of venomous killing intent, was like that of a vengeful demon from the Nine Nethers Hell.

Seven more Flying Swords appeared around him. This time, they were not Magic Artifacts but swords forged from Divine Sense, True Qi, and Rules.

”Watch as my Seven Swords slay you!”

The seven swords of Qi manifested the power of heaven and earth. Carrying this immense might, they flew toward Lin Mu. It seemed that in this moment, it was not the Seven Swords Daoist who wanted to kill Lin Wudi, but heaven and earth themselves.

Heaven’s Fury! The fury of the Seven Swords was the fury of heaven and earth itself! When Heaven is furious, mortals perish.

The endless killing intent caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

”Too slow.”

As the Seven Swords Daoist was gathering his killing intent, a voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.

”You…”

As if seeing a Ghost Charm, the Seven Swords Daoist’s eyes widened in utter shock. The next moment, a finger pierced his temple.

When did he get so close to me?

That was the last thought of the Seven Swords Daoist.

BANG!

The Foundation Building Immortal’s head was pierced by a single finger, and his Divine Soul was obliterated along with it.

”I’ll leave the body for you. Perhaps you can get some research out of it.” Lin Mu mounted his sword and flew westward.

”Lin Mu, where are you going?” Xiao Xuan called out anxiously. ”There is still one Foundation Establishment Sword Immortal left alive! He went to the Qin Family Old Residence!”

”Red Lotus is dead. I go west now to shatter the darkness and extinguish their divine might!”

As the lingering sound faded, Lin Mu had already become a meteor streaking across the horizon.

Red Lotus is dead? The other Foundation Building Immortal was also killed?! A flash of wild joy lit up Xiao Xuan’s eyes.

”Men! Issue my orders! The alliance treaty between Huaxia and the Ancient Land Sects is officially void! All members of the Ancient Land Sects are to leave the secular world by the deadline, or they will be killed without mercy! If they dare flee abroad, we will hunt them to the ends of the earth and kill them!”

On that day, Lin Wudi broke free from the Heavenly Lake Minor World and reappeared in the mortal realm.

Before the Qin Family Old Residence, an Immortal knelt in submission.

With Sword Qi that streaked across eight hundred miles, Lin Wudi slew the Seven Swords Daoist.

In a single day, he had defied and slain two Immortals.

The world trembled. He was truly without equal.

「Dark Church.」

Within the church, followers silently recited scriptures, kneeling in prayer for the triumphant return of their six Emperors. Just then, a voice as majestic as a god’s resounded from the sky above.

”Dark Church, you harassed my family and harmed my Disciple. Today, I will flatten you with a single strike!”

As the voice faded, a dazzling sword light approached from the east.

”No…!” some followers screamed, but it was futile as the light descended.

A black barrier of light flashed above the church, only to be instantly shattered by the sword light. Amidst a deafening roar, the Dark Church—a symbol of dark theocracy in the West for centuries—collapsed into ruin.

”Who dares offend the divine!”

Inside the ruined church, black Godlight suddenly descended around a divine statue, which began to radiate light as if a Divine Spirit had descended. The voice was magnificent, shaking the very soul.

”My lord!”

”Our lord has returned!”

”Lin Wudi, you’re dead for sure!”

”Hahaha, how dare you run wild in our Dark Church! Die!”

The followers roared with fanaticism, believing the descent of their god would ensure Lin Wudi’s demise.

”A mere remnant soul dares call itself a god before me? Let me show you what true divine power looks like!” Lin Mu scoffed, then pointed a finger.

From the heavens, a colossal dark power that seemed to span the entire world descended. Amidst a great roar, it smashed down upon the divine statue.

BOOM!

The two forces of black light collided. The Divine Soul within the statue was like a firefly before the brilliant moon, instantly overwhelmed. The statue shattered, the Divine Soul dissipated, and the Dark Church was reduced to nothing but rubble.
