Chapter Summary: The Time Lord Does Not Allow

Key Plot Points and Events

• Each step destroys the ground and activates golden runes, ultimately shattering the Yuan Family’s Ley Line Array.
• The earth splits open over the former Yuan Family estate, exposing a passage to the netherworld. From below, the Ley Line Dragon Qi erupts upward and connects the underworld to the heavens.
• Nearly half of Shenjing is destroyed. Buildings, streets, palaces, and walls lose their foundations and float into the air, forming massive rings around Xuantian Palace.
• Ordinary citizens panic as they drift through the weightless debris. Celestial officials lose much of their power after their connection to the ley lines and Heavenly Sea is severed, leaving only martial artists capable of limited self-defense.

• Yuan Chengjun recognizes that the destruction of the Ley Line Array threatens the Yuan Family’s true foundation and angrily denounces the intruder.
• Song Anshi realizes that the attacker is seizing control of the Array’s nodes and may soon reach the Heavenly Sea. He orders the Imperial Guard to stop him before the array becomes impossible to repair.
• The Imperial Guard launches a massive coordinated attack, combining arrows, martial intent, ley-line power, Heavenly Sea Qi, and the karmic force of Shenjing’s population into a devastating black cloud.
• The attack, powerful enough to suppress divine souls and disrupt even high-level martial manifestations, is halted instantly when the figure merely looks at it.
• Time itself is frozen: the arrows, clouds, air, light, and space cease moving. The chapter concludes by revealing the figure’s overwhelming authority as the Lord of Time.
