CHAPTER 710: 162, WILL OF THE LORD OF THE OLD DAYS_2

"Seal!"

The Void seemed to obey the command like a tool, beginning to surge layer by layer, compressing sharply, but it did not touch Lin Yue, only protecting him within it.

This barrier of the Void, guided by the power of Heavenly Dao, could not bind those unpredictable by fate but could indeed serve as protection.

Even against a Demon God, she was confident in guarding Lin Yue; this barrier almost like a bulwark of Heaven and Earth could also isolate almost all sorts of powers from afar.

But...

Even within the barrier of the Void, Lin Yue’s face was still pale, his teeth clenched tightly, shaking uncontrollably from instinct.

"Useless?"

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official became more shocked and immediately called out, "Second Prince!"

She knew that part of the Second Prince’s Primordial Spirit was sealed within Lin Yue.

The Second Prince appeared in the warship’s hall, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yue, causing his brows to furrow instantly.

"Second Prince."

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official conveyed through Divine Thought Transmission, "I don’t know what has occurred with Prince Xia, but even sealing him within the barrier of the Void seems useless."

The Second Prince inspected Lin Yue closely before conveying, "He must be under the influence of the will of the Son of Ancient Beginnings, perhaps it’s that Son of Ancient Beginnings, known as the Master of the Old Days, who has managed to achieve this. Is this really the true intention of the Demon Clan..."

"Hmm?" The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official’s face changed suddenly, immediately she conveyed, "Not just Prince Xia, the other twelve princes and princesses who haven’t Proven and Transcended have encountered the same situation!"

"It really is this intention..." The Second Prince frowned deeply.

"Second Prince, do you know what’s happening?"

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official asked, "Your Highness, do you have any solutions?"

The Second Prince was silent for a moment before conveying, "This should be caused by that Son of Ancient Beginnings, known as the Master of the Old Days. Although only a thread of his will has descended this time, it’s not something I can resolve."

"This time? Could it be that originally His Majesty..." The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official paused slightly, then quickly asked, "What will happen if this continues?"

"The outcome?"

The Second Prince’s eyes had a complex look as he conveyed, "All Ancient Divine Spirits originate from the Ancient Beginnings; one could say the Ancient Divine Spirits are a part of the Ancient Beginnings. The will of the Ancient Divine Spirit contained within the Divine Power being suppressed, in fact, is being replaced by the will of the Son of Ancient Beginnings. What the Demon Clan is doing now is allowing the will of the Master of the Old Days to revive from within the Divine Power."

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official understood in an instant.

No wonder recently, the princes and princesses suddenly found it much easier to refine the power of the Ancient Gods, the will within the Ancient Divine Spirits seemed to resist less.

So now it looked like it was replaced by the will of the Son of Ancient Beginnings known as the Master of the Old Days?

"Has the Demon Clan actually got the move on the Son of Ancient Beginnings?" The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official couldn’t hold back and asked, "How is that possible?"

"That Master of the Old Days, symbolizing darkness and justice."

The Second Prince shook his head slightly and conveyed, "Although unclear about his exact nature, from the true dreams, one could see he allows justice to exist; maybe the Demon Clan possesses some kind of opportunity to make a deal with this Master of the Old Days, after all, that’s an existence even the Divine Emperor cannot resist..."

"The revival of the will of the Master of the Old Days, what will happen?" The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official hurriedly asked, "Does it mean all the princes and princesses will turn into the Master of the Old Days?"

"Perhaps... like avatars preserving their own memories?"

The Second Prince conveyed solemnly, "This is just an influence on the level of will, not manipulation; they still retain their self-consciousness, so they will undoubtedly act according to the will of the Master of the Old Days."

"The will of the Master of the Old Days?" The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official pursued, "What does the Master of the Old Days want to do?"

The Second Prince fell silent for a moment, then slowly conveyed, "To destroy everything outside the Human Clan, plunging the world into darkness."

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official was taken aback, and then conveyed, "Is there still hope for these princes and princesses?"

The Second Prince sighed and transmitted, "Once the Divine Power is exhausted, naturally they’ll be fine."

The Divine Thought Transmission was but a moment, and the Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official immediately understood what should be done.

"Notify the fellow Heavenly Transmission Officials."

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official immediately conveyed the message to all parties with utmost speed, "Your Highnesses have been influenced by the will of the Master of the Old Days; seal Your Highnesses as quickly as possible, and exhaust the Divine Power within them as much as possible."

Then, he looked towards the Second Prince, saying, "Second Prince, we Heavenly Transmission Officials cannot cope with those unpredictable by fate; please help restrain Prince Xia."

"I cannot take action."

The Second Prince glanced at Lin Yue and conveyed, "But don’t worry about him, the will within his Divine Power cannot be replaced by the Master of the Old Days."

"That’s a relief." The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "As long as the other Highnesses are sealed, there won’t be a problem."

The Second Prince however, fell silent and slowly conveyed, "Let’s hope it works."

The Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official was taken aback.

...

Cangzhou.

Beiyuan City.

In a luxurious mansion, in the courtyard, the Thirteenth Prince, leaning on a long blade, was half-kneeling on the ground, his body surging with ferocious power, his crown already shattered, his long hair whipping about as if by an invisible wind.

"Prince Yi?"

Beside him stood a Heavenly Transmission Official dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold, wearing a golden mask, frowning at the Thirteenth Prince.

At this moment, the Void around the Thirteenth Prince had been compressed and solidified to the extreme, forming a barrier nearly as formidable as the Power of Heaven and Earth, which even a Demon God would struggle to break.

Just then—

"Inform all Heavenly Transmission Officials."

The voice of the Ninth Heavenly Transmission Official echoed in his mind: "All your Highnesses have been influenced by the will of the Ancient Lord, seal them with utmost speed, depleting their Divine Power as much as possible."

"The will of the Ancient Lord?"

The Heavenly Transmission Official guarding the Thirteenth Prince furrowed his brows.

However, this order had been approved by the Crown Prince, so he naturally carried it out immediately.

"Prince Yi, I apologize."

"Seal!"

The Heavenly Transmission Official’s eyes fixed on the Thirteenth Prince, who knelt on one knee leaning on his sword, as the invisible Will of the Heavenly Dao descended and the limitless Power of Heaven and Earth surged madly, beginning to seal the Thirteenth Prince.

With the boundless power mobilized by the Will of the Heavenly Dao, even a Demon God who had Proved and Transcended would have to be sealed.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sea of multicolored, massive Power of Heaven and Earth kept converging, quickly wrapping the Thirteenth Prince into a cocoon-like shape.

The Heavenly Transmission Official sighed in relief, immediately walked over, and absorbed the cocoon-shaped object sealing the Thirteenth Prince: "Let’s return to Di Hong City first."

Just then—

"Boom!"

A violently thunderous blade light suddenly burst forth, carrying destructive power, and swept violently across the body of the Heavenly Transmission Official.

The robe on the Heavenly Transmission Official, originally a Heaven and Earth Robe that even a Demon God couldn’t shake, seemed non-existent in front of this blade light.

"This..."

A flash of shock passed through the eyes beneath the golden mask of the Heavenly Transmission Official, then realization dawned: "So this is the will of the Ancient Lord..."

In an instant, his body, merely at the level of a Great Cultivator, was completely torn apart by the blade light.

The destructive blade light roiled out, striking in all directions, leaving everything it touched in shreds.

Whether it was walls, houses, or people, all were destroyed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the entire area of Beiyuan City spanning tens of miles was utterly devastated by that single slash, turning into ruins.

Including the hundreds of thousands of people within Beiyuan City.

And at the center of the ruins was the place where that massive Power of Heaven and Earth was gradually dissipating.

A tall figure enveloped in a dark aura, carrying a sword on his shoulder, walked out unhurriedly from it, the Heavenly Power-driven Power of Heaven and Earth unable to hinder him in the slightest.

"Let all be destroyed under my blade..."

...

Xuanzhou, Taian River.

"Your Highness..."

By the riverbank, the shattered body of the Heavenly Transmission Official dissipated along with the Power of Heaven and Earth.

"Ha ha ha..."

A figure enveloped in a dark aura stood freely in the air above the river, laughing loudly and freely, the wide river roaring tumultuously with his laughter.

Then, the river poured forth, rushing toward the nearby cities like a tsunami.

...

At the same time, Di Hong City.

Imperial Palace, Di Hong Palace.

"The Demon Clan really did it."

Atop the Imperial Platform, the Crown Prince looked expressionlessly at the Second Prince below, "They’ve really managed to invoke the will of that Ancient Lord... Had I known earlier, I would have chosen to end the world."

"Had I known, I wouldn’t have chosen to end the world either."

The Second Prince said calmly, "Even the Will of the Heavenly Dao recoils under the will of that Ancient Lord, and the Heavenly Transmission Officials cannot stop it. Quickly have the Princes and Princesses who have Proved take action, at least fewer lives will be lost."

"I’m already doing that," the Crown Prince said, looking at him, "If you could take action, this wouldn’t be much trouble at all."

The Second Prince calmly stated, "The Demon Clan also knows I’m unable to protect myself, guessing I wouldn’t be able to act, that’s why they dared to do this."

The Crown Prince remained silent.
