170: Destroy the restricted area

The Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone was not located on any star, but was a kingdom of death drifting in the gap between reality and the Void Realm.

There was no light here, no vitality.

Only endless mountains piled up from white bones.

Rivers of corrosive Yellow Springs meandered through it.

The air was filled with a nauseating scent of decay and the wails of countless vengeful spirits.

This was the lair that the Bone Prison Great Emperor had operated for countless years.

A dead zone forged by consuming the lives of countless Star Domains.

At this moment, deep within the Forbidden Zone, several sleeping wills were disturbed and slowly awakened.

They were the Supreme servants under the Bone Prison Great Emperor, or ancient existences who had reached an agreement with him.

Although they had not slashed themselves, they lay dormant here in a special way, absorbing the Death Qi of the Forbidden Zone to prolong their lives.

"The aura of Bone Prison... has disappeared?"

A thought, like metal rubbing against metal, echoed among the white bone thrones.

"He sublimated to the extreme and then perished... What happened in the outside world?"

Another cold thought carried suspicion.

"Did a powerful enemy attack? I cannot sense one..."

Just as these wills were communicating, the entire Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone suddenly shook violently!

It did not come from within, but from the outside, from the barrier that isolated the Forbidden Zone from reality!

Boom!!!

A thunderous sound, indescribable by mere noise, acted directly upon the perception level of all existences.

The thick barrier covering the outside of the Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone, woven from countless vengeful spirits and the Law of Death, was struck as if by an invisible, world-opening giant axe, suddenly caving inward before exploding to reveal a massive hole!

Chaos-colored light surged in from outside the hole.

Wherever it passed, the mountains of white bones melted like ice and snow under the sun.

The rivers of Yellow Springs were evaporated completely.

The wailing vengeful spirits turned into green smoke before they could even scream.

A figure, bathed in Chaos Qi, like a god or demon of creation, stepped into the hole in a single stride.

It was none other than Lin Dao!

His gaze swept across this dead kingdom, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation.

"A filthy lair has no need to exist."

He raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

Endless Chaos Qi gathered, compressed, and evolved in his palm...

Eventually, it transformed into a Chaos sphere no larger than a fist, yet it exuded an aura that made the entire Forbidden Zone tremble and wail.

Inside the sphere of light, earth, water, fire, and wind surged wildly, as if it contained a chaotic Universe on the verge of eruption!

"Chaos... Great Annihilation."

Lin Dao softly uttered these few words.

He gently pressed the Chaos sphere in his hand downward.

The sphere left his hand, not falling rapidly, but instead merging into the core land of the Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone silently, as if sinking into water.

Time seemed to freeze for an instant.

The next moment—

Centered on the point where the sphere submerged, a Chaos ring of indescribable color expanded silently yet with extreme speed!

Wherever the ring passed, all matter—white bones, Yellow Springs, Death Qi, vengeful spirits, and even the space Law itself that constructed this Forbidden Zone—instantly decomposed, collapsed, and annihilated!

It was not destruction, but a thorough "Return to Nothingness," reverting to the most primitive Chaos particles!

"No—!"

"What is this power?!"

"Run!"

Deep in the Forbidden Zone, those few wills that had just awakened let out desperate roars.

They attempted to resist, erupting with monstrous Death Qi.

They sacrificed forbidden artifacts that had been nurtured for countless years.

Some even tried to tear through space to escape.

But in front of the expanding Chaos ring, all resistance was futile.

The Death Qi was assimilated.

The forbidden artifacts shattered like paper.

Space was completely solidified and then annihilated together with them.

Their bodies, their Divine Souls, and their Dao Laws, in the face of this Chaos power representing ultimate "Annihilation," were like dewdrops under a scorching sun, instantly evaporating without leaving even a trace.

The Chaos ring was unstoppable, sweeping through the entire Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone at a speed that transcended thought.

After a few breaths.

The Chaos ring dissipated.

That Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone, which had originally existed in the gap between the Void Realm and covered an area comparable to several Star Domains... had disappeared.

Replacing it was an absolute emptiness.

A land of absolute nothingness where even turbulent Void Realm currents did not exist, as if it had been completely "erased" from the map of the Universe.

Only a few remnants of Chaos Qi remained, proving what had just happened here.

Lin Dao stood alone above this newly born nothingness, hands behind his back.

It was as if he had only done a trivial matter.

He could feel that in every direction of the distant starry sky, countless Divine Thoughts, whether strong or weak, were like frightened rabbits; upon contacting this nothingness and sensing his Chaos Emperor aura that had not yet fully retracted, they recoiled in terror.

He knew that the news of him slaying the Bone Prison Great Emperor and wiping out the Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone with one hand would spread across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms faster than the speed of light.

It would reach the ears of every Immortal Power, every Life Forbidden Zone, and every ancient existence.

One could imagine what a monstrous wave this would stir up throughout the entire Primal Ancient Realm—no, in all the Universe planes that perceived this scene!

The Emperors Road had not yet opened, yet a Great Emperor existed in the present world!

And not just an ordinary Great Emperor, but a formidable Great Emperor who had embarked on the Chaos path, possessed monstrous combat power, and was decisive in killing!

This completely overturned the cognition and landscape that had existed since time immemorial!

Lin Dao ignored those prying Divine Thoughts.

He turned, took a step, and his figure merged into the Chaos, disappearing from this land of nothingness.

...

In the Lin Familys Small World, deep within the Forbidden Ground.

Lin Dao's figure slowly appeared.

Lin Xuan, Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and other core high-level members of the Family, as well as Lin Huan, who had just recovered some Origin Qi, had been waiting here for a long time.

Although they could not witness everything that happened outside the starry sky and at the Myriad Bone Forbidden Zone with their own eyes, the fluctuations of the Emperor aura that swept across the Myriad Heavens, as well as the sorrow of heaven and earth that came from the void upon the fall of a Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, made them understand that the Old Ancestor had just done something earth-shattering.

"Old Ancestor."

Lin Xuan bowed first, his voice filled with irrepressible excitement and awe.

Lin Dao nodded slightly.

His gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Lin Huan.

"How do you feel?"

Lin Huan stepped forward; although his face was still a bit pale, his eyes were bright, and his aura was more condensed than before.

"Replying to the Old Ancestor, my Origin has recovered a little, and my comprehension of the Dao of Primordial Beginning has deepened. It is just that... I have caused such big trouble for the Family..."

"Trouble?"

Lin Dao smiled faintly.

"It cannot be counted as trouble. A few maggots that crawled out of their coffins, cleaning them up is all."

He said it lightly, but everyone could feel the world-dominating arrogance and absolute strength behind his words.

"After this incident,"

Lin Dao looked at Lin Xuan.

"My Lin Family can be considered to have officially stepped onto the stage. The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, all forces, including those sleeping old antiques, will focus their attention here. Pass down the order: the Family will continue as usual. Those who should Cultivate, Cultivate; those who should train, train. But anyone who dares to offend my Lin Family, regardless of where they come from or what their background is, will be... killed without exception."

"Yes! We will strictly obey the Old Ancestor's decree!"

Lin Xuan and the others responded in unison, their hearts boiling with hot blood.

With such an Old Ancestor presiding, what is there for the Lin Family to fear from any challenge!

Lin Dao then said to Lin Huan.

"Your Physique has just awakened, and your Foundation is solidified; what you need next is precipitation and accumulation. Family resources will be supplied to you without limit, but the road of the Dao must ultimately be walked by yourself."

"Huan'er understands!"

Lin Huan nodded heavily.

After giving instructions, Lin Dao let everyone disperse.

He himself returned to the depths of the Forbidden Ground again to continue his deductions and Cultivation.

It was as if just now, wiping out a Life Forbidden Zone was merely brushing a speck of dust off his sleeve.

However, outside the Lin Family, the entire Primal Ancient Realm, and even the more distant Chaos Frontier, were completely plunged into massive tremors and unprecedented undercurrents because of Lin Dao's move this time.

A living, formidable, present-day Great Emperor who walks the Chaos Dao!

This news was like billions of Chaos divine thunderbolts striking the hearts of all living beings who thought they understood the rules of this Universe.

Countless ancient prophecies were unearthed.

Dust-sealed classics were reinterpreted.

Hidden orthodoxies were urgently awakened...

The Emperors Road has not opened, yet a Great Emperor has appeared.
