Chapter 2442: Rule Prison, Space Freeze!

"Thunder Ancestor, what about you?" Lin Chaotian looked toward Thunder Ancestor and said calmly.

The other seven Dao Ancestors had already stated their positions, only Thunder Ancestor seemed to hesitate.

Xuanji seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said loudly, "Pang Tian! Pang Zhen is right outside. Don't you know how much he has changed? Even he doesn't believe that Qing Sheng would betray the human race. Do you believe it?"

Thunder Ancestor remained silent, his gaze piercing through the hall to Pang Zhen beyond the Qiyuan Mountains.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Thunder Ancestor.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I, this Ancestor, second the motion!"

Buzz!

The hall immediately erupted in chaos!

Heavenly Emperor Xuanji's face turned green with rage as he cursed Thunder Ancestor for being ungrateful.

But he could not change the outcome.

His strength alone was too weak!

No one expected that the nine Dao Ancestors, who had never been in harmony, would be surprisingly united on this matter concerning Ye Yuan!

But didn't this further confirm Ye Yuan's claim?

The nine Dao Ancestors united in front—this was wielding the might of heaven and earth!

With such authority, who dared to oppose them?

Even if they coveted the secrets within Ye Yuan, so what?

They were the truth!

They were the power!

They were supreme!

Once Thunder Ancestor spoke, Lin Chaotian smiled slightly and looked at Ye Yuan, saying, "What we nine Dao Ancestors decide is the decree of heaven! Even if the Divine Clan's Tianqing were here, he could not refute it! Do you accept?"

At this moment, those who supported Ye Yuan were in despair.

With the nine Dao Ancestors joining forces, who could turn the tide?

As Life Dao Ancestor said, even if Tianqing were here, he could not escape!

Facing the immense pressure of the nine Dao Ancestors, Ye Yuan remained calm and composed.

He looked at Lin Chaotian and said with a light smile, "I created you nine Dao Ancestors with my own hands. Now, if I let you manipulate me, wouldn't that be a joke?"

At these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Chaotian laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Ye Yuan, times have changed. Beneath the Dao Ancestors, all are ants! With your current strength, do you really think you can escape from us?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "If I want to leave, I leave. What can you do to me? Since I dared to come, naturally I have the confidence to leave! What of the nine Dao Ancestors?"

His words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

"He... has he gone mad? The space is completely sealed. Even if he is proficient in space laws, he cannot escape from under the Dao Ancestors' noses!"

"Is there anyone in this world who can escape from the combined might of the nine Dao Ancestors? Impossible!"

"Perhaps he could in the future, but now... absolutely impossible!"

...

No one believed Ye Yuan's words, because it was simply impossible.

What are Dao Ancestors?

To be honest, Dao Ancestors are the true darlings of heaven!

They are absolute powerhouses!

Heavenly Emperor Xuanji could be called the greatest heavenly emperor of all time, yet he still amounted to nothing before a Dao Ancestor.

Let alone the combined force of nine Dao Ancestors!

Sure enough, Lin Chaotian smiled disdainfully and said, "Is that so? Then this Ancestor would like to see the methods of Lord Qing Sheng!"

With that, Lin Chaotian gently pressed down with his palm.

A cyan palm, carrying wood-attribute rule power of terrifying intensity, crushed down toward Ye Yuan.

The space was sealed, yet the power of this palm was enough to grind the天人五衰 into dust!

A casual palm strike, yet it made everyone present change color.

Ye Yuan simply stood with his hands behind his back, as if he hadn't seen the palm.

Boom!

The floor of the hall was smashed into a deep pit, and Ye Yuan's figure was no longer there.

The Qiyuan Hall was protected by extremely powerful formations, but this palm strike shattered them directly.

However, Lin Chaotian's expression changed drastically.

For the first time, he was moved.

Lin Chaotian's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already outside the hall.

Above the void, Ye Yuan still stood with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The eight Dao Ancestors and the other powerhouses all followed out.

Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with shock, as if looking at a monster.

"So this is the might of a Dao Ancestor? Nothing special!" Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian from afar, full of disdain.

There was nothing in this world that could move a powerhouse like Lin Chaotian.

But today, he was truly shocked!

Ye Yuan had escaped right from under his nose!

"This... how is this possible? The space was clearly sealed; even a天人五衰 couldn't escape. How did he do it?"

"Incredible! Could it be that Ye Yuan's space laws have surpassed the power of rules?"

"No wonder Qing Sheng was so calm! This is simply unbelievable!"

...

Words of astonishment filled the air; everyone was stunned.

The space in the hall had clearly been sealed by Lin Chaotian, making it impossible for Ye Yuan to escape.

Yet Ye Yuan had vanished right before their eyes!

Lin Chaotian's expression was extremely ugly. His dignity as a Dao Ancestor had been severely challenged by Ye Yuan today.

"Your space laws should be at the third level of the Origin now, right? Under my rule power, even the fifth level of the Origin cannot escape. How did you manage it?" Lin Chaotian stared intently at Ye Yuan and demanded.

He was both deeply shaken and intensely fervent inside.

Ye Yuan's methods must be related to the secret he carried!

The more mysterious his methods, the more powerful that secret must be!

If he could obtain that secret, just how terrifying would his strength become?

Just thinking about it made his blood boil!

Ye Yuan seemed to see through Lin Chaotian's thoughts and sneered, "You're right, it is indeed related to the secret on me! You want to know? Catch me and you'll find out, won't you?"

Lin Chaotian's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Nonsense! No matter how glib you are, you won't escape today!"

With that, he flicked his finger, and an even more terrifying rule power instantly spread across heaven and earth.

At that moment, it seemed as if all the wood-attribute rule power in the entire Tongtian Realm was at Lin Chaotian's command.

In an instant, the entire space of the Qiyuan Mountains was enveloped by rule power.

"Rule Prison! Space Freeze!"

Hiss...

Those powerhouses changed color; they knew that Life Dao Ancestor was getting serious.

Rule Prison was a unique technique of rule powerhouses.

Those who had reached the天人五衰 realm, due to their closeness to the Heavenly Dao, had attained terrifying mastery over space laws.

Thus, in battles between天人五衰, killing an opponent was extremely difficult.

But Dao Ancestors could use rule power to completely seal off an entire space, leaving no escape!

Under the rules, all is illusion!

This move was far more powerful than the casual space sealing earlier!

They felt as if the entire space of the Qiyuan Mountains had frozen; they could not even take a single step.
