Boom!

The surging law power was a pure blue color. When it came raging down, it was no different from a whip lash from heavens, flashing with a light that made one's heart palpitate. Such a power was enough to make any Law Transcendence Eternal tremble with fear.

If this had been Lin Xun’s first day in the Ninth Heaven Domain, he would have needed to use his full strength to counter, but now...

Like a blade of unrivaled sharpness, he glowed with a blinding aura as he shot into the air. Rustle!

His figure ripped a straight crack through the waterfall that was the Genesis law power like a blade cleaving apart a bamboo. In an instant, he arrived before the palace on Broken Forbidden Ridge. He was so incredibly fast that when Ji He finally reacted, he was already standing in front of her.

Her big eyes widened and her delicate frame tensed up. Almost out of instinct, she summoned a glossy scimitar and fiercely chopped out. The scimitar was long, narrow, and curved like a crescent moon. When swung, its edge seemed capable of cutting open space.

However, Lin Xun grabbed it with his bare hand. When the sharp edge and his palm clashed, dao sparks splashed with a sound that tore eardrums. The next second, the weapon was firmly confined, unable to so much as scratch the skin of his palm!

Ji He's expression contorted. Eternal aura erupted from her, but just as she was about to counterattack, Lin Xun clutched her neck and restricted her cultivation with a terrifying law power. This rendered her completely immobile.

Watching from the mountain foot, Ji Wangtu felt chilled to the bone. In a flash, Lin Xun had broken through the clan’s law power and stopped the scimitar dead in its killing strike! He had moved with the speed and force of a lightning bolt, so strong that even a Transcendence existence like Ji Wangtu found himself unable to believe it.

Ji He was one of the three Eternal ancestors of their clan. Moreover, the fact that she commanded Genesis put her in a much higher league than those in the same stage. Despite that, Lin Xun had easily captured her!

This was too terrifying, to the point Ji Wangtu's perception was overturned. It was also at this moment that he finally dared to believe that the Eternal Divine Yang Clan had been trampled to the ground by Lin Xun alone!

So what if the opponent was an Eternal? So what if they had a Divine Rank law? They were simply no match for Lin Xun! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

“We could have talked it out, but you just had to jump right to violence. Just why?” Lin Xun sighed.

In fact, if he hadn't been concerned about Xi’s and Ji Shanhai's safety and had scruples because he hadn't figured out the Ji Clan's situation, why would he need to go through all this trouble? He could have killed his way in instead of wasting his time and words on them.

Ji He's hands and feet went cold, and her appearance that resembled that of a young girl’s looked even more petite in Lin Xun’s clutch. Her pretty face was beet red as she was angry and also scared to the extreme. She had never imagined how she could lose so quickly!

“Cut the crap. If you intend to torture or kill me, go ahead and see if I'll even so much as frown.” Ji He glared at him and gritted her teeth.

Lin Xun said, “Feel fortunate that you never mistreated Xi and Miss Shanhai, otherwise you'd have been dead. For now, you'll have to endure a little bit.”

With that, he imprisoned Ji He in the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. He then walked into the ancient palace, where he had previously detected the origin power belonging to Genesis came from.

Sure enough, the moment Lun Xun entered the main hall, he found it. It was a square, ancient altar, in the center of which stood a pale blue jade ruler. The artifact emitted an amazingly thick law fluctuation.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and operated the Nirvana law principles. Then, his hand made a grabbing motion at the ruler.

Buzz! The jade ruler stirred fiercely in its struggle, but to no avail. In just a matter of moments, it was subdued by Lin Xun and became tame.

Ji Wangtu arrived at the door just in time to see this, and his eyes went round. How could he be calm? The fact that Lin Xun could subdued the Ji Clan's Divine Rank law so easily sent his mind reeling again.

Lin Xun turned around and softly explained to him, “Don't worry, Senior, I will return it.”

This Divine Rank law was great stuff, but on account of Xi, he wouldn't take it for himself.

A dazed Ji Wangtu asked, “What are you planning to do next?”

Lin Xun replied, “I advise you not to come with me. Of course, I won't stop you if you want to follow.”

While saying that, he had exited the palace and flown away from the Broken Forbidden Ridge.

Ji Wangtu had the urge to rush up several times, worried that Lin Xun would hurt innocent clansmen. In the end, however, he bitterly shook his head. Even if he caught up, what could he even do to stop him? Might as well not watch!

......

Origin Divine Mountain, Central Divine Palace.

Festooned with lights and decorations, the place was currently bustling with activity. The huge martial ground in front of the palace was filled with banquet tables, hosting many guests. Many more didn't even have a place to sit and could only linger in the peripheral areas.

At a glance, Central Divine Palace was surrounded by a sea of people, making it a grand spectacle. The guests were all big names and demonstrated extraordinary bearing.

Beautiful maids moved nimbly through the venue like butterflies. The servants brought up various delicacies in endless streams. Melodious tunes from ancient harps elevated the lively atmosphere.

“One would expect nothing less from an Eternal Divine Clan...”

Even elders who had seen a lot of things in life secretly lamented, astonished by the Ji Clan’s grandiosity.

“There is no lack of Immortal characters here, yet they can only watch from the martial ground. How esteemed must the guests who have a seat in the Central Divine Palace be, I wonder?”

Many would occasionally gaze at the magnificent palace in the distance.

A red carpet woven from auspicious materials was laid on the one hundred and eight stone steps. On both sides stood incense burners carved with dragons and phoenixes. Atop the stairs was the divine palace shrouded in spectacular weather, which was also a part of the venue of this banquet, only that it only hosted top-class noble guests.

This was enviable, for it was clear to everyone that the gap between the Central Divine Palace and this martial ground was a heavenly chasm. In this Ninth Heaven Domain, it was impossible for anyone outside members of Eternal Divine Clans to have the chance to enter this palace in their lifetime.

“I heard that some of the Taihao Clan members have arrived today and are currently inside Central Divine Palace discussing tomorrow's wedding with the two Eternal ancestors of the Ji Clan.”

“So did I. They say VIPs from other Eternal Divine Clans have also arrived to attend this ceremony, like the Panwu, the Jie, the Ye Clan, and so on. It's said that the weakest of them are peak Transcendence Immortals!”

“Such is the foundation of Eternal Divine Clans. Now that there's a marriage between the Ji Clan and the Taihao Clan, how can the other Eternal Divine Clans not be present?”

All sorts of discussions rang in the martial ground, the guests’ voices all revealing respect and envy.

On a seat at the very edge, an old man in a python-patterned robe who had long hair and beard was in the middle of speaking confidently with the people around him. Suddenly, he caught a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

“Huh?!”

It's that fellow!

The old man instantly recognized that handsome figure to be the unimaginably powerful young man who he had brought into Origin Divine Mountain.

“What is he doing here?” Looking at the other party's relaxed posture strolling around, the old man began to inexplicably panic a little.

At the same time, Lin Xun also noticed the old man, but he didn't pay him any mind. He gazed at the beautifully decorated Central Divine Palace in the distance in its resplendent weather, and where the Taihao Clan's bride-escorting party would be picking up Xi tomorrow.

Only Lin Xun knew that it would not happen. With his hands on his back, he walked along the spacious path running through the martial ground. Quite a number of eyes swept at him, but no one knew who he was so it didn't raise any commotion.

However, that changed when they saw him walking step by step toward the palace. He finally garnered quite the attention.

“Who is that person? Another incomparably honorable existence?”

“I’m not sure, I've never seen his face anywhere before.”

Murmurs started to rise.

Meanwhile, the old man in the python robe, who had been watching Lin Xun closely, became more and more flustered inside. This guy... Does he intend to break into the Central Divine Palace?!

Among the people present, only he knew that Lin Xun was not an honored guest at all. The guy didn't even have an invitation!

Seeing Lin Xun approaching the palace entrance, a group of Ji Clan's guards sensed that something was amiss and blocked his way.

I’m so done for. If the Ji Clan finds out that I brought this guy in, my dao path will be ruined...

The python-robed old man's heart went cold.

“Please halt. Without an invitation, no one is allowed to go near the Central Divine Palace.”

The expert leading the group of guards sternly looked Lin Xun up and down, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Lin Xun glanced at these guards and said, “Move aside.”

Then, these Ji Clan experts acted as if they were grabbed by big invisible hands, uncontrollably retreating to the sides and revealing the red-carpeted stone stairway.

With shock and anger, they opened their mouths to shout only to find that they couldn't make a sound. They struggled with all their might but couldn't even lift a finger. All of them seemed to have been nailed into the ground.

“What’s going on...”

Many people in the martial ground noticed what was happening. Their expressions shifted as they all sensed that something was wrong. The originally noisy and lively atmosphere went cold.

Around the huge martial ground, many Ji Clan members were scattered, and all of them were displaying astounded looks. Who is that guy?

They couldn't imagine who in the world would dare to come to their territory and behave wildly. More importantly, this was the Central Divine Palace, the heart of the Ji Clan, not to mention many big names were in there at the moment!

Who with a working brain would be stupid enough to run riot here?

While the Ji Clan members present were in their stupor, Lin Xun had already taken the stone steps leading up to the Central Divine Palace.

“Stop!”

There were naturally guards stationed before the palace, each clad in shiny armor and intimidating aura. When they saw Lin Xun walking up the stairs, they quickly formed a line and blocked him.
