"Screech!"
A piercing sound of tearing rang out in the cave, as if space itself had been ripped apart.
The dark-red chain, which looked indestructible and was covered in strange runes, offered no resistance at all beneath the edge of Anlan's Spear. It snapped in an instant!
Chaos Qi billowed from the broken end as the laws shattered, releasing waves of mournful cries.
"This..."
Xiao Wuji stared at the scene before him, his pupils contracting sharply.
Back when he had been trapped here, he had tried to break free as well. He had exhausted every method—even burning his Quasi Emperor origin—and still hadn't been able to budge these chains in the slightest.
Yet his own son had severed one with a single spear thrust?

Just how powerful had this child become?
Xiao Wuji was stunned, but even more than that, he was overjoyed.
Xiao Yang didn't pause. After cutting through one chain, he spun around, and Anlan's Spear swept out like a soaring dragon, wreathed in boundless Battle Saint Fire as it struck another chain.
"Break! Break! Break!"
With every chain he severed, his Battle Intent grew stronger, and the Battle Saint Fire burned more fiercely.
In Xiao Yang's hands, Anlan's Spear seemed alive. Every swing carried the force of creation itself.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The sound of chains snapping rang through the cave. Under Xiao Yang's frenzied yet precise attacks, the nine chains broke one after another!
The instant the final chain was severed, the entire cave shuddered, as if some sort of balance had been lost.
"Rumble!"
With the nine God Binding Locks broken, the curse that had been suppressed inside Xiao Wuji instantly broke free. Like a flood bursting through a dam, it erupted
