Primordial Forbidden Zone

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain was vast beyond measure, comprising three thousand Dao provinces. Within each immortal province lay countless cultivator sects, sacred grounds, and mortal kingdoms.

The void trembled, space quaked. At this very moment, a colossal rift tore across the sky of the entire Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, as if a corner of the world had been ripped open.

"That... is the Primordial Forbidden Zone!!!"

"Hiss! What in the world is happening? Could the Dark Turmoil be starting again?"

"What's going on? What is the Primordial Forbidden Zone trying to do?"

Across the three thousand Dao provinces, every cultivator in the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain sensed a terrifying aura. Its source was the world's forbidden ground—the Primordial Forbidden Zone.

All cultivators now gazed up at the heavens. Their souls trembled, roaring violently. Hairs stood on end. Their hearts were filled with dread. Expressions frozen, they stood dumbstruck.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bronze warships clustered like clouds, immortal boats beyond count, each the size of a star. Dense and packed, they spewed endless Demonic Mist, blotting out the sky. They advanced with overwhelming momentum, descending toward Mingzhou.

"Roar..."

The horn forged from true Dragon Horns sounded, shattering the endless heavens. The void cracked inch by inch.

This scene was too terrifying. Within the three thousand Dao provinces, countless ancient cultivators with white hair and beards recalled the Dark Turmoil of ages past.

"Hiss... Could it be that the Taboo One has emerged?"

Countless cultivators wore expressions of terror.

What they did not know was that this mobilization of the Primordial Forbidden Zone was solely for their Imperial Son, Ye Ming.

Boom!

Three blurry, exalted figures stood atop the sky, rushing toward the Liu Family with swift strides. Each step they took shattered the void. Countless runes surrounded them, radiant with myriad lights.

They were several elders of the Primordial Forbidden Zone.

"Who dares touch my Forbidden Zone's Imperial Son shall be killed without mercy!"

The voice was grand, shaking the heavens. The leader carried an overwhelming aura, vast and boundless, his tone utterly frigid.

Clad in a blood-red robe was the Sixth Elder of the Primordial Forbidden Zone, Blood Soul.

Boom!

The three elders appeared above the Liu Family estate.

The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings erupted. The Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone—that was a status of supreme nobility. Who would dare touch him!

At this moment, Liu Mingyu, Lin Tian, and Liu Hongyun below were lost in confusion. Even Elder Yun Tian of the Ancient Dao Sect, so arrogant before, now dared not utter a word!

Just then, a weak voice sounded. It was Ye Ming.

His limbs were all severed. His aura was utterly depleted. Bloody tears streamed from his eyes as he lay on the ground. His disheveled long hair half-covered his delicate face.

"Who would have thought... in the end, I'd still have to trouble the three elders to show up."

Boom!

"Imperial Son!!!"

"How could this be? Who did it?"

"Saving the Imperial Son is the priority. The rest of the accounts will be settled slowly. No one here is leaving!"

Three figures appeared beside Ye Ming—the elders including Blood Soul. Their voices were now icy cold, as if they would freeze the world. It was a bone-chilling cold.

Various Divine Medicines and immortal herbs were poured into Ye Ming's mouth. Spiritual energy nearly materialized, surging like tidal waves, mending Ye Ming's body.

At this moment, all the major powers of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain were watching this scene. Voices of powerful cultivators rose in heated discussion.

"Hiss... Who would have thought? A lofty Imperial Son of the Forbidden Zone would meet such a fate today."

"Who could imagine it? The Liu Family—a clan I've never even heard of—dared to have such audacity!"

"Audacity my ass! Their vision was too narrow. Instead of currying favor with this Forbidden Zone Imperial Son, they thought about killing him for his treasures!"

"Isn't that brainless?"

Scornful voices toward the Liu Family rose one after another. An Imperial Son of the Forbidden Zone—what kind of figure was that? One thought could decide the life or death of billions of living beings. He stood high above, atop the clouds. And yet he had been cut limb from limb by a completely unknown family, nearly killed. This was too surreal. Even across the entire Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, it was an unheard-of tale!

Time passed. With the spiritual energy boost from the three elders, Ye Ming's injuries were fully healed in the blink of an eye. His severed limbs reknit. He rose to his feet, clad in black-and-gold robes. His long hair fluttered. His aura had changed—it was now ice-cold.

Boom!

Watching this scene, Liu Mingyu's gaze shrank back. She could not understand how Ye Ming—the man she had always looked down on, the one who could never compare to her Lin Tian—was actually the Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone!

If she had only stayed with him all along...

Her beautiful eyes instantly softened.

"Ye Ming, brother... you still love me, right?"

Her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring or flowing waterfall. She wore a white dress, her face like a flower and the moon, willow-thin brows, bright red lips, and a curvaceous figure with all the right peaks and valleys.

At this moment, Liu Mingyu twisted her delicate body, putting on her most beautiful appearance, trying to find the answer in Ye Ming's face. But what she saw was a pair of deep, abyssal pupils—like a bottomless pit, devoid of any light, sharp and chilling.

She was afraid. Fear appeared on her pretty face. Ye Ming was actually that Imperial Son of the Forbidden Zone!

Lin Tian, Liu Hongyun, Elder Yun Tian, and the Liu Family members—their souls trembled, their minds roared, their hairs stood on end, their hearts filled with bone-deep dread, their expressions frozen stiff as they stood there dumbstruck.

For Liu Hongyun in particular, regret consumed him utterly.

"I ask the three elders to act. Leave none of the Liu Family alive—not a single one."

The voice was flat, cold.

After this, Ye Ming's aura had completely changed. His eyes were pitch-black, showing not a glimmer of light. His cultivation had recovered, and now demonic mist churned around him, his features beginning to blur.

"As the Imperial Son commands!"

Blood Soul, the foremost of the three elders, bowed. When he looked at Ye Ming, relief flickered in his gaze. In his heart, he sighed—their Imperial Son had finally changed.

In this era on the cusp of the Golden Age, soft-heartedness meant elimination.

Ye Ming represented the entire Primordial Forbidden Zone. In the eyes of the three elders, this was how things ought to be. Fortunately, the Imperial Son's transformation had not come too late.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bronze warships gathered like clouds, immortal boats beyond count, each the size of a star, dense and countless, radiating endless demonic mist. Their momentum was overwhelming, blotting out the sky over all of Mingzhou—this was the combat force the Forbidden Zone had deployed.

"Kill!"

It was the Sixth Elder, Xue Can, who struck. One hand blotted out the sky. Endless runes surged, transforming into a sea of blood that pressed down upon the Liu Family. The blood sea boiled, covering the heavens and the sun, cascading ten thousand zhang like a waterfall—a single strand could crush the void.

Countless demonic slaves from the Forbidden Zone leaped down from the warships, murderous intent surging, shaking the void. Blood-red light roiled, shrouding ten thousand li of mountains and rivers.

The scene was too horrifying. Every member of the Liu Family trembled in terror.

"No!!!"

"Please spare us! This has nothing to do with us!"

"We are willing to return everything the Imperial Son once bestowed upon our Liu Family!"

The Liu Family erupted in wails and screams.

"I beg Elder Yun Tian to act and save my Liu Family! Do not forget—the Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine is in your hands!"

Liu Hongyun prostrated himself before Elder Yun Tian. If anyone could save the Liu Family, it could only be the Ancient Dao Sect.
