Chapter 2243 Sky Ruling Restriction

“Reporting! The enemy is heading towards the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace!”

When this news spread, the old monsters coming out from all directions struck with shock, finding it hard to believe.

The Thousand Dragon Dao Palace was the heart of the True Dragon Lineage, a place where only those directly related to the patriarch could reside.

The palace was surrounded by terrifying and endless restriction forces and guarded by numerous old monsters. Even Emperor-level figures would not dare to come near it at all.

Who could have imagined that the intruder would have the guts to charge directly into such a place?

This made no sense whatsoever, leading people to wonder if the intruder was insane and deliberately seeking death...

A powerful figure of the True Dragon Lineage commanded, “The one who is coming harbors ill intentions. Quickly! Everyone, hurry to the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace—!”

Suddenly, countless formidable figures erupted from the vast Dragon Palace, transforming into dazzling arcs of light that tore through the sky, rushing toward the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace with astonishing speed.

Such a spectacle had not occurred in many years, causing alarm among all the beings within the Dragon Palace.

Meanwhile, the Emperor-level attendant elders of the nine imperial clans had largely deduced the identity of the ‘intruder’ wreaking havoc in the Dragon Palace and they all secretly planned to aid Lin Xun whenever the opportunity arose!

However, when they realized that the commotion was getting worse, they couldn’t help but become worried.

Dragons had reverse scales, and touching them meant death!

In this Dragon Palace, once those old dragons were truly enraged, could Lin Daoyuan escape unscathed?

Even if they helped out, it would be of no avail!

“For now, we can only take one step at a time...”

This was the plan of the attendant elders from the nine imperial clans.

......

Rumble!

Heaven and earth quaked violently as mountains crumbled and rocks shattered. The void was torn and stained with crimson blood. The rumbling echoed like thunder erupted from the ninth heavens, shaking the universe.

On the way to Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, Lin Xun faced resistance unlike anything he had encountered before, leaving him no choice but to reveal his identity.

At this moment, he radiated a blinding brilliance. His black hair billowed around his face as he wielded the sharp and dazzling Dao Lawless Blade and charged forward with unstoppable ferocity.

Pu Pu Pu...

Within moments, dozens of encircling experts were engulfed by the vast, sweeping qi and sent flying. Broken arms and limbs scattered through the air, blood cascaded like waterfalls, and agonized screams reverberated across the battlefield.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes were unfathomable as his figure cut through the carnage without a pause.

The opponents before him were no match for him and were easily crushed, but as time passed, it was inevitable that increasingly formidable figures would arrive.

Lin Xun had no doubt that, given the strong foundation of the True Dragon Lineage, they wouldn’t watch the situation worsen and do nothing.

Die!

His figure flashed like a streak of light, unleashing the power of the second realm Supreme Emperor Stage. He moved like an abyss, crushing everything in his path with unstoppable force.

In the distance, the silhouette of the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace gradually emerged.

It was an ancient, grand, and sacred cluster of towering structures, reaching towards the sky. It was bathed in rolling chaos qi, with all kinds of dragon qi intertwining in the air and radiant beams of precious light flooding the heavens and earth!

“Intruder! How dare you...”

In the distance, an imposing and burly figure charged forward, exuding a monstrous murderous aura. He was clad in black armor and wielded a massive steel fork.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Lin Xun’s blade cleaved through the air, sending him flying. His body was split in two, and blood poured down like a waterfall.

Lin Xun didn’t spare him a second glance as he continued forward. However, just as he was about to advance further, a concentrated barrage of rune light spread nearby, and ancient restriction arrays were suddenly activated.

Rumble—

Sacred mountains rose from the earth, their towering peaks piercing the sky. The mountains piled high, their rocks gleaming like divine gold, radiating an immense force of restrictions that blocked the path in front.

From afar, it looked like a heavenly barrier that could not be shaken or crossed.

In the far distance, numerous figures flying in from all directions let out a breath of relief at the sight of this.

Sky Ruling Restriction!

This was an ancient restriction array that had existed to this day stretched across heaven and earth, like a sacred mountain or impenetrable wall, capable of halting even the mightiest of Emperors.

Since its creation, no enemy had ever been able to break through or destroy this array!

“Intruder, let’s see where you can run now!” An old monster laughed triumphantly, his voice booming like thunder.

Before his voice faded, Lin Xun moved without hesitation, charging straight toward the Sky Ruling Restriction. It was as if an ant was attempting to strike a mighty boulder.

Strangely, as his figure flickered, he effortlessly navigated through the numerous rune restriction arrays, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The runes on the Sky Ruling Restriction merely rippled, like water disturbed by a breeze...

The triumphant old monster’s expression stiffened, dumbfounded. “What...just happened!?”

The old monsters pursuing Lin Xun from all directions were stunned, their faces twisted in disbelief, as though they had seen a ghost.

One of the old monsters bellowed furiously, “Quick, deactivate the Sky Ruling Restriction!”

The other experts felt their faces flush with anger. The Sky Ruling Restriction, a revered ancient restriction array of their True Dragon Lineage, had not only failed to stop an outsider, but also obstructed members of their own clan. This felt like a humiliating slap in the face.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who had effortlessly passed through the grand array, remained calm and composed, his gaze sweeping across the distance.

Though the Sky Ruling Restriction was powerful, to a supreme Emperor like him who had spent years mastering runes, it was just a trivial display and not worthy of his full attention.

At this moment, the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace came into view, its imposing silhouette sitting on the horizon.

“Ao Huanhai, after such a massive disturbance, are you really planning on not showing up...” Lin Xun’s dark eyes glinted with icy intent.

Ao Huanhai, the current patriarch of the True Dragon Lineage, was also known as Eternal Destruction Dragon Emperor, an old antique with an unfathomably deep and frightening foundation.

Rumor had it that Eternal Destruction Dragon Emperor, with his iron-blooded personality, was known for his decisive and ruthless nature as well as his unparalleled skills. He was the ruler whose presence commanded both fear and reverence from all clans within the True Dragon World.

The reason why Lin Xun caused such a huge commotion and broke into this palace was simple: To force Ao Huanhai to reveal the whereabouts of Zhao Jingxuan!

It wasn’t driven by recklessness or boldness, but instead he had no other choice.

From what he had uncovered, Ao Huanhai’s actions made his intentions clear. Blocking all news about the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly and cutting off the path to the Ancient Nebula Road showed his determination to keep the child of Zhao Jingxuan and Lin Xun within the True Dragon World at any cost!

The reason was obvious. The child had extraordinary talent, possessing not only the Ancestral Dragon bloodline but also the talent of Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer. Such a combination of talents was unprecedented in history!

If Ao Huanhai managed to keep the child and raised him, then the child...would likely have the surname Ao!

“If you don’t come out, I’ll go find you.” Lin Xun took a deep breath and teleported through the air towards the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, streaks of purple-gold flames burst forth, spreading rapidly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they formed a blazing ring, encircling Lin Xun completely.

From above, it looked like a radiant halo of purple-gold fire with Lin Xun trapped at its center.

Lin Xun quickly sensed that the space had been sealed off, completely imprisoning his movements. At the same time, a deadly and suffocating aura filled the air.

“Young man, not just anyone can break into the Dragon Palace. Your performance is already pretty good. If I’m not mistaken, you are a supreme Emperor.” A low, hoarse voice echoed, neither hurried nor slow, yet carrying a majesty that struck despair into the heart.

“Supreme Emperors are exceedingly rare, appearing only once in thousands of years. Only on the other side of the cosmos do supreme Emperors tread, and their numbers are astonishingly few...”

As the voice reverberated, an old man appeared from thin air. He wore a golden robe that shimmered brilliantly, his face adorned with golden dragon whiskers and his eyes glowed like molten gold.

Whoosh—

As he emerged, the halo of purple-gold flames which had been spreading relentlessly toward Lin Xun abruptly froze midair. The flames burned silently, emanating a strange and dangerous aura.

The old man in the golden robe gazed indifferently at Lin Xun from afar and spoke, “But you do not come from the other side of the cosmos. Before the path connecting the Ancient Nebula Road to the True Dragon World was severed, a supreme Emperor had not emerged in the Ancient Nebula Road for nearly one hundred thousand years.

“Let me guess. You ascended to the Supreme Emperor Stage in the past few decades.” As the golden-robed old man spoke, a chilling gleam flashed from his bright golden eyes, as though it could pierce through Lin Xun.

He was truly terrifying, his aura engulfed the heavens and earth, and the space in all directions was firmly imprisoned by the purple-gold flames. He was like a spider seated at the center of its web, waiting to prey on the insects trapped within.

His bearing alone was stronger than that of Great Emperor Baqi, who was at the eighth realm Emperor Stage!

There was no doubt that the old man in the golden robe was an ancient being of the True Dragon Clan. An Emperor figure like him, due to his bloodline, inherently possessed a terrifying foundation that allowed him to suppress others of the same cultivation stage.

At least, at that very moment, Lin Xun felt a fatal danger that could strike at any second!

Despite that, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked, “Where’s Ao Huanhai?”

The golden-haired old man furrowed his brow. “Do you think you can address the patriarch of our clan by his name? Tell me why you are here. If you resist, I won’t hesitate to eliminate an unprecedented supreme Emperor today!”

Imposing, confident, cold, and superior!

Lin Xun responded very simply.

He released the dog!

With a

whoosh

, Big Yellow appeared out from nowhere, slashing through the air with a mighty claw. The purple-gold flames that surrounded them were instantly shattered, dispersing like rain.

The golden-robed old man narrowed his eyes.

“An old worm at the eighth realm Emperor Stage, what a guy!”

Big Yellow looked at the old man in the golden robe indifferently, before drooling from the corner of its mouth. Its eyes glinted with greed as it muttered, “The pot...is a bit too full, but it’s fine, I’ll just take out the dragon liver for now!”

Shua!

As he spoke, Big Yellow darted through the air urgently like it could not wait anymore, roaring loudly as it charged toward the golden-robed old man.

“Lin Xun, go ahead. I’ll deal with this old worm!”
