Chapter 2249 Terrifying Young Man

Seeing experts surging from all directions, Xi dodged without hesitation, suppressing Dragon Emperor Ruoxu at the same time while intercepting and killing the others.

Rumble!

Her graceful figure shimmered with divine brilliance as she wielded the Dao Skyless Spear, its power sweeping across the ten directions like a roaring ocean. Her might was unparalleled and unstoppable.

Suddenly, countless figures rushing forward were struck down, their bodies torn apart as blood splattered through the air. Tragic screams rang out one after another, echoing across the battlefield.

“Come hold the others back.” Xi sent a voice transmission to Big Yellow, and then, without hesitation, she suddenly unleashed her full strength, and the Dao Skyless Spear erupted with terrifying force.

Dragon Emperor Ruoxu, who had already been struggling under Big Yellow’s suppression, was struck head-on. The armor cracked with a deafening sound, while his body shuddered violently with blood gushing from his mouth and nostrils from the impact.

The dragon tried to counter with the Dao Formless Sword, but he could only defend without launching a counterattack, falling completely into a passive state.

The truth was that Xi’s strength was simply too terrifying. Even as a ninth realm Emperor, he was pushed to his absolute limit and utterly suppressed.

Big Yellow let out a fierce cry, charging towards the experts rushing over. Its fur glowed brightly and its claws slashed through the air with the power to eclipse the sun and the moon, capable of crushing mountains and splitting valleys.

Although outnumbered, Big Yellow tore through the crowd, killing dozens of experts in the span of moments. Their bodies exploded violently, dying on the spot in a bloody spectacle.

As for the attendant elders who served the True Dragon Lineage, they appeared to be fighting desperately, but in truth they were actually holding back. They weren’t using their full strength and as such posed no real threat to Big Yellow.

“Kill!” Big Yellow’s roar rang out, exhilarated, like thunder booming across the skies. The Dao Lawless Blade swung with a flash of blinding snow-white light, cutting through the battlefield with unstoppable force.

This infuriated and shocked the True Dragon Lineage experts, but they were powerless to overcome Big Yellow’s obstruction. Instead, many of their people were killed on the spot, their bodies falling in a bloody mess.

For a moment, dao sounds reverberated throughout the world, fierce battles raged without end, and every corner became a chaotic and bloody-soaked battlefield.

In a battle of this scale, figures below the Emperor Stage were not qualified to intervene. The moment they got close, the terrifying shockwaves alone were enough to obliterate them.

At this moment, Lin Xun and Xia Zhi had already broken into the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

......

“What!? The forbidden array has been destroyed?”

In the grand hall, Second Prince Ao Tianyu sprang from his chair, shocked and panicked, trembling with fear as he struggled to calm his emotions.

The other princes and princesses were ashen-faced, their expressions changing drastically.

Previously, even when they heard that intruders were approaching, they remained calm and composed, confident that the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, protected by the forbidden array, would keep them safe. After all, it had never been broken once throughout the ages.

But now, the forbidden array had been shattered!

Panic and disbelief gripped them, as if their strongest pillar of defense had crumbled. Who was this intruder, and how could they be so powerful?

“Where’s Old Ancestor and the others? How could they let all of this happen?” A fearful voice asked.

“Do you really think they would just stand by and let this happen? This can only mean that the enemy is so powerful that it poses a grave threat to them!” Second Prince’s face darkened as his mind raced.

They all realized that today’s catastrophe was beyond anything they had imagined, possibly the greatest crisis the True Dragon Lineage had ever faced in its history!

“Quick, run! Leave now and head to Ancestral Dragon Mountain!” Ao Tianyu gritted his teeth, making a decisive choice. Ancestral Dragon Mountain was the ancestral origin land of their True Dragon Clan, which was home to countless powerful beings who had lived in seclusion for generations.

With the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace no longer safe, they had no choice but to relocate immediately!

“Yes, let’s head to Ancestral Dragon Mountain!”

The other princes and princesses nodded as if they had just woken up from a dream.

However, just as they were about to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. Tall and imposing, the figure cast a long shadow that stretched across the sky, sending a wave of fear and chills through everyone present.

It was none other than Lin Xun.

Upon entering the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, Lin Xun’s spirit sense immediately spread out, quickly surveying every scene within the palace.

However, he saw no sign of Zhao Jingxuan, nor did he sense the aura of Ao Huanhai.

“Where’s Zhao Jingxuan?” Lin Xun questioned, his voice ice-cold, piercing straight into their hearts. Ao Tianyu and the others trembled uncontrollably.

However, upon hearing that Lin Xun was searching for Zhao Jingxuan, they couldn’t hide their surprise. Of course they were well aware who Zhao Jingxuan was, but they had never imagined that this formidable intruder had fought his way here for her sake.

“Jingxuan is my cousin. She’s not here right now. You’ve come to the wrong place.” Ao Tianyu took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. “Of course, if you tell us why you’re looking for her, perhaps we can help you.”

Lin Xun asked coldly, “Where’s Ao Huanhai?”

Ao Tianyu and the others exchanged glances, their expressions turning livid. Ao Huanhai was their father, the esteemed patriarch of the True Dragon Clan. Who would dare to address him so disrespectfully by name?

Though seething with anger and resentment, Ao Tianyu still responded, “My father is not here. He left with my elder brother and cousin Jingxuan a long time ago.”

“When was that? Where did they go?” Lin Xun asked.

“After the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly ended, Father left with them. As for where they went, we truly don’t know.” Ao Tianyu appeared to be speaking honestly. At this life-threatening moment, he couldn’t afford to act arrogantly.

Lin Xun’s brows furrowed, his dark eyes icy as he swept his gaze over Ao Tianyu and the others. In the end, he spoke coldly, “If Ao Huanhai refuses to show himself, then you all will come with me. Let’s see if your father can still remain hidden when his own children are facing death!”

Rumble!

Before his voice faded, Lin Xun already made his move. Dao light erupted, surging across the sky like a vast net. In an instant, it enveloped Ao Tianyu and the others, suppressing them in one fell swoop before sweeping them into the Dao Endless Pagoda

After this, Lin Xun took Xia Zhi and began to search the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, causing destruction wherever they went.

Along the way, they stumbled upon a hidden treasure house filled with an astonishing wealth of cultivation resources, elixirs, rare treasures, and divine materials. Every kind of treasure imaginable was stored within, each one of unparalleled rarity and value

It was only natural. As the heart of the True Dragon Lineage, this place had always been reserved for the direct descendants of the clan. Naturally, the wealth and treasures accumulated here were bound to be extraordinary.

Even Emperor-grade divine materials and divine Aeth herbs were stacked like mountains!

However, Lin Xun’s mind was solely focused on searching for someone. He had no interest in those treasures. With a flick of his sleeve, he swept everything away without a second glance.

Unfortunately, even after sweeping through the entire Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, nearly digging three feet into the ground, they still found no trace of Ao Huanhai.

Lin Xun's unease grew stronger. Where had Ao Huanhai taken Jingxuan and the eldest prince?

“Lin Xun, quickly run!”! Suddenly, Big Yellow’s solemn voice rang out from the distance.

Lin Xun’s pupils sharply contracted.

Shua!

Without hesitation, he and Xia Zhi rushed out of the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

The outside world was a scene of carnage. Blood soaked the ground and broken corpses lay strewn everywhere. Countless experts of the True Dragon Lineage had died here.

As Lin Xun and Xia Zhi emerged, they witnessed a brutal scene. Xi swung the Dao Skyless Spear through the air and with an earthshaking impact, Dragon Emperor Ruoxu shattered into countless pieces.

His body exploded, his flesh and blood splattered and his primordial spirit was heavily injured.

Bang!

Xi was about to deliver another strike to utterly erase Dragon Emperor’s Ruoxu’s shattered body and primordial spirit, but in that instant, she suddenly darted away without hesitation as if sensing something.

Chi!

A strange gray flying blade silently appeared where she had just stood. With a light sweep, the space suddenly collapsed, disintegrating into fine dust.

That terrifying power sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

Before Lin Xun could get a clear look, Xi had already grabbed him and teleported him away into the void.

He turned his head and saw that Xia Zhi and Big Yellow were also whisked away at an urgent speed, vanishing into the distance.

What happened?!

While Lin Xun was still bewildered, an ice-cold roar suddenly echoed from afar, “In my True Dragon Lineage’s territory, not even divine beings from the heavens can escape death!”

That voice was like a decree from the heavens, every word reverberating across the universe. Its mighty power made Lin Xun’s ears buzz and stars danced before his eyes.

Right after, an incomparably dazzling figure streaked across the sky like a torrent of light, arriving with terrifying momentum. Upon closer look, it was a man who appeared to be a teenager. He had strikingly handsome features, eyes as brilliant as the sun, and moved effortlessly through the void, stepping upon an illusory sword.

He moved at an incomprehensible speed, traversing space without any restraints or constraints. In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to them!

At that moment, Lin Xun finally understood why Xi and Big Yellow had chosen to retreat despite having the upper hand.

The aura of this youthful-looking man was so terrifying that it was beyond imagination. He seemed like the absolute ruler of this world. His words were law, his will omnipotent, and his presence all-encompassing!

“You forced me!” With a furious bellow, before Lin Xun could react, a streak of misty gray sword qi suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was bizarre and terrifying.

Xi instantly moved to intercept it with the Dao Skyless Spear, but the sheer force sent her staggering backward. She grunted coldly, unwilling to concede, but ultimately, she chose to retreat, continuing to flee with Lin Xun and the others.

The Dragon Palace was unimaginably vast. Even with Xi’s incredible speed, she couldn’t shake off the pursuit of the young man. Instead, he was closing in at an alarming rate.

This was completely beyond Lin Xun’s expectations. After all, Xi had just slain a ninth realm Emperor like Dragon Emperor Ruoxu with ease, but now, she seemed extremely afraid of that young man!

Who was he?

How could there be such a fierce character in the True Dragon Lineage?

“Even if you’ve made that step, so what? In this world, I am the ruler!” The young man’s icy voice echoed through the heavens, laced with an undeniable ruthlessness, causing everyone to tremble uncontrollably.

Boom!

Before the voice faded, a torrential barrage of gray sword qi descended upon them, almost engulfing Lin Xun and the others in an instant.

The onslaught was so powerful that it seemed to defy the laws of the world, completely ignoring the natural order of heaven and earth!
