Chapter 2250 Forced into the Sea

At this critical moment, Xi charged forward alone, her entire body erupting with a brilliant, blazing radiance, as if she was engulfed in divine flames.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering collision, she let out a muffled grunt as several streaks of sword qi pierced through her body, sending blood spraying into the air.

She was clearly gravely injured, but she seemed completely unfazed. After blocking the attack, she once again led Lin Xun and the others in a desperate escape at full speed.

This both infuriated and shocked Lin Xun. This was the first time he had ever seen Xi suffer such injuries after all these years!

“It’s impressive that you managed to withstand my attack. If you choose to become my slave, I might just spare your life.” The young man’s voice was icy, filled with disdain and condescension.

Xi remained silent, but Big Yellow snapped in rage, “Screw off, if you weren’t manipulating the laws and orders of this world, I could crush you with a single paw!”

Hearing this, Lin Xun’s eyes flickered. He suddenly realized that the terrifying young man was so powerful because he was drawing upon the law power of this world.

Lin Xun was no stranger to this. In the past, Nameless Esteemed Emperor had wielded such power and now, Heavenly Emperor Shi also commanded the taboo law power from the other side of the cosmos.

Furthermore, when he was in the Nirvana of Transcendence, Lin Xun had also controlled the law power there!

Because of this, he understood better than anyone just how terrifyingly powerful one could become when wielding the law power of a world.

It was no exaggeration to say that within the Dragon Palace, the terrifying young man was indeed a supreme ruler, capable of bending the very fabric of the universe and order to his will!

Defying him in this world was no different from waging war against the heavens themselves!

“Dog, you need to be punished!” Suddenly, the young man’s icy voice rang out.

The moment the young man’s voice rang out, Lin Xun wasted no time in activating his innate bloodline power Time Stopping.

The brilliant rain of light burst forth, and in an instant, the world fell into absolute silence. Everything seemed to be trapped in an eerie, motionless stillness.

Within a foot of Big Yellow, the streak of gray sword qi abruptly halted, frozen in place.

This scene made cold sweat break out on Big Yellow. If Lin Xun hadn’t acted in time, it wouldn’t have even had the chance to react before the sword struck it down.

Without any hesitation, Xi teleported through the air, instantly widening the distance and leaving the young man far behind.

“The power to control time? Impossible! That forbidden power exists only in legends of the other side of the cosmos. How could a mere ant like you possess it?”

From afar, the young man’s voice, filled with shock and disbelief, rumbled through heaven and earth.

Before he even finished speaking, he had already caught up once more, his aura surging even stronger than before!

“The entrance is blocked by restriction forces.” Xi sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun looked up and saw a vortex-like tunnel suspended in the air in the far distance, shrouded by terrifying restriction forces.

If given time, he could break through them. But now, the slightest delay would allow the young man to catch up. The situation was dire. He had no time to destroy the restrictions.

“Big Yellow, I leave it to you. If he dares to come, kill these bastards.”

Without hesitation, Lin Xun brought out Fourth Prince Ao Xuanfeng, Second Prince Ao Tianyu and other direct descendants of the True Dragon Clan, handing them over to Big Yellow.

Big Yellow’s eyes gleamed as he swiftly subdued them with his own strength and bellowed, “Old bastard, take one more step and they all die!”

Shua!

At that moment, the distant void rippled, revealing the terrifying being who appeared as a young man. Dressed in a golden dragon robe, his eyes blazed like twin suns, and his tall, imposing figure radiated an effortless dominance. He stood there casually, yet he exuded a supreme majesty, as if he was the embodiment of the eternal heavens.

The moment his gaze fell on the ‘hostages’ in Big Yellow’s grasp, the young man’s expression darkened instantly. His eyes blazed with murderous intent as he spoke coldly, “If you dare to harm them, I swear I’ll tear out your tendons, peel off your skin, and grind your bones to dust!”

Ao Xuanfeng, Ao Tianyu and the others were direct descendants of the True Dragon Clan, possessing the purest bloodlines. If they were to perish, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The young man dared not act rashly.

Seizing the moment, Lin Xun immediately began to break the restrictions.

The situation was critical and he couldn’t afford to waste a single second. Meanwhile, Xi and Xia Zhi stood guard, prepared to protect him.

“Be careful!”

Suddenly, Xi swung the Dao Skyless Spear, intercepting the streak of sword qi hurtling toward Lin Xun.

The force of the strike sent a violent shock through her body, causing her to cough up blood and her figure swayed. Her injuries were clearly worsening with each passing moment.

Lin Xun didn’t turn around, but he could clearly sense the entire scene. His heart was consumed with a surge of anger.

How dare that old beast be so audacious!

“Big Yellow!” He roared.

There was no need for further instructions, as Big Yellow had already acted, unleashing his most powerful response.

Bang!

A figure exploded. It was Ao Yunchuan, the eighth prince of the True Dragon Clan. He had been killed on the spot, both his body and spirit obliterated.

At the same time, Big Yellow warned coldly, “If you dare to play another trick, all these little beasts will die!”

Boom!

The young man’s hair stood on end with fury, his body radiating tremendous ferocity, causing the entire world around him to tremble and threaten to collapse.

It was evident that Ao Yunchuan’s death had struck him deeply, leaving him shaken and enraged.

He took a deep breath and after a long while, said each word with a noticeable pause, “Let those descendants go, and I will let you all go. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will all die!” His voice was resolute and cold.

“Only an idiot would believe you.” Big Yellow snorted. “I might as well tell you that we’ll consider releasing these little beasts once we’ve safely escaped. Otherwise...even if we die, we’ll take them with us!”

“You...” The young man fumed, his face livid. Who had ever dared to threaten him like this throughout the ages? Especially a mere dog?

Unfortunately, he had to forcibly restrain his fury. No matter how much he wished to annihilate Lin Xun and his group, the lives of Ao Xuanfeng and the other pure-blooded descendants were far too valuable to risk.

Rumble!

At this moment, Lin Xun finally broke through the layers of restrictions. Amid the cascading rain of light, the vortex passage leading to the outside world emerged, completely unobstructed.

Seeing this, the young man’s composure shattered, his eyes turning ice-cold, “If you dare take the descendants of my clan, I will not hesitate to sacrifice them just to ensure your deaths!”

Big Yellow glanced at Lin Xun, who responded without hesitation, “Ignore his bluff. If he really has the guts, let him go ahead and try.”

He was caught in a dilemma. Releasing Ao Xuanfeng and the others would remove the young man’s concerns, allowing him to strike without restraint.

However, keeping them captive might provoke him into a desperate attack.

Lin Xun no longer hesitated. He would rather take the gamble, betting that the young man wouldn’t dare to make such a reckless, lose-lose move!

As he spoke, Lin Xun had already left with Xi, Xia Zhi and Big Yellow.

Big Yellow kept a firm grip on the hostages, wary of any last-minute attacks from the young man.

Watching Lin Xun and the others walk into the vortex passage one by one, the young man’s eyes burned red with fury, his chest rising and falling violently. The surrounding void trembled and cracked, letting out mournful wails, as if unable to withstand the sheer force of his rage.

“With that child in our hands, even if some sacrifices have to be made...so what, Huanhai, don’t blame me for being ruthless. We can’t just let them lead us by the nose...” As the young man murmured, a crazed and resolute look flickered across his bloodshot eyes.

Shua!

The young man suddenly rushed into the vortex passage.

The outside world.

On the boundless blue sea stood an ancient Sea Stabilizing Stele.

As soon as they escaped, Lin Xun and Big Yellow felt as if they had narrowly escaped the jaws of death.

“Quick run!” Xi didn’t hesitate and led them away at full speed.

However, before they could escape from this sea region, the young man’s cold voice echoed through heavens and earth again, “If I let you escape, how will our clan save face? All of you shall die!”

His final words rang like a thunderclap, shaking the very heavens and earth.

This is bad!

Lin Xun and the others all turned pale, realizing that the young man had completely lost his sanity. He was willing to sacrifice Ao Xuanfeng and the others rather than let them escape alive.

Rumble!

The sea churned violently, and the once azure sky suddenly turned as dark as ink, as though plunging into an eternal night. Endless, terrifying waves rose up, forming a massive cage that sealed off the heavens and earth, crashing down toward Lin Xun and the others.

It was impossible to evade because the waves surged in from all directions.

“Destroy!” Xi’s long hair whipped around her like a storm, her graceful figure shimmering with a brilliance that seemed almost like an illusion. With all her strength, she tried to carve a path of escape, unleashing an unimaginable force.

However, within moments, the crushing waves engulfed her, sending her flying backward. Blood sprayed from her wounds as she staggered, gravely injured and teetering on the brink of death.

“This sea area is sealed by a mysterious law power and it can’t be destroyed. Sorry...I can’t help you this time.” Xi’s voice was faint and her eyes were clouded with exhaustion.

This was the first time that Lin Xun had ever heard such a defeated tone from Xi, and it stirred a storm of emotions within him—rage and a deep sense of hatred for his own powerlessness.

How could this be?

Boom!

The waves crashed in, and although Big Yellow fought back with all his might, he was quickly suppressed, coughing up blood and badly wounded.

Lin Xun’s eyes blazed with fury. If Xi and Big Yellow hadn’t come to the Dragon Palace with him, they wouldn’t have suffered such grievous injuries!

“Hahaha, why have you stopped running?” The young man’s cruel and mocking laughter rang out from the distance.

Seeing Xia Zhi was also prepared to fight to the death, Lin Xun grabbed her and said, “Xia Zhi, you, Xi and Big Yellow need to hide in the Dao Endless Pagoda for now!” Without waiting for a response, he summoned the pagoda and sent them inside one by one.

In truth, both Xi and Big Yellow were in no condition to resist at that moment. Severely injured, they were caught off guard by Lin Xun’s actions and had no opportunity to react.

The same went for Xia Zhi.

Then, Lin Xun suddenly raised his head, locking eyes with the terrifying young man in the distance.

A massive wave crashed toward him.

Before it engulfed him, Lin Xun leaped forward, resolute, diving into the sea.

The young man who had been laughing maniacally was stunned for a moment. Then, a look of pity twisted his face. Throughout the ages, it was known that anyone who entered this sea would undoubtedly perish.
