- When mobilized, its true-dragon-horn war horns and demonic fleet can tear the void and inspire fear across all Three Thousand Dao Provinces. 3

History
When Ye Ming was nearly killed by the Liu Family in Mingzhou, the Forbidden Zone tore open a colossal rift across the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain and deployed its fleet solely for his sake. Blood Soul and two other elders arrived to declare that anyone who harmed the Imperial Son would be killed without mercy; at Ye Ming's command, they exterminated the Liu Family. 3 6
The Ancient Dao Sect's subsequent attempt to seize Ye Ming and the Immortal Medicine provoked the Primordial Demonic Emperor himself. His Imperial might froze dozens of Saint Realm cultivators, while a single descending finger annihilated the sect's resisting experts. 5
After Ye Ming returned, the Demonic Emperor removed the seal on his physique and revealed the Primordial Demonic Body. The body's nine phenomena spread beyond the Forbidden Zone and shook the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, restoring confidence that the Forbidden Zone had a worthy successor for the Golden Age. 7 8
The Forbidden Zone repeatedly deployed elder protection for Ye Ming's conflicts and expeditions. Mo Ao intervened against several sects at Imperial Mountain, later defended Ye Ming against Dragon Emperor Ridge, and fought five Saint Realm opponents alone. 23 67
During the opening of the Lower Realm Ten Earths, all Ten Elders prepared to accompany Ye Ming. The Forbidden Zone's forces later fought the Netherworld Divine Palace over the Movement Secret, ending with the latter's annihilation. 74 97 102
After Ye Ming disappeared within the Immortal Ancient Ruins, the Forbidden Zone's remaining prodigies entered the Emperor's Path. Its elders continued to regard Ye Ming as their central hope until his return a century later. 153 155
