168: This disciple of the Shen family is no human being; his Dao heart, built up over thousands of years, was almost shattered!

Rumble! Roar!

A deafening dragon roar that shook the very space echoed through heaven and earth, reaching as far as Yunzhou.

At this moment, the commoners of Yunzhou looked up one after another, and the members of the Demon Suppression Division rushed into the sky. Upon seeing the scene in the distance, everyone's face turned pale, revealing an unprecedented look of terror.

A dragon of unimaginable size suddenly appeared in the sky. This Azure Dragon had pale green scales, each inscribed with ancient runes. Three claws extended from its belly; those iron-black dragon claws could easily pierce through a Body Cultivator of the same Soul Transformation Realm. This was an innate, powerful physique, and each one possessed powerful Bloodline Divine Ability.

This was a three-clawed Dragon Clan member, flowing with pure Bloodline. Among the Five Great Royal Clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm, all inherited from Candle Nine Nethers. The true elites of the Royal Family of the Demon Realm would possess a portion of his abilities, making them even more terrifying.

After it appeared, the entire sky turned black. Its massive body, at least ten thousand zhang in size, covered the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. The dragon head, the size of a giant mountain, stared down at all living beings in the Heavenly Sword Sect, its dragon eyes filled with rage.

After entering and sensing the aura of a Void Return Third Layer, she knew she had fallen into a trap. Especially since a Formation had already surrounded the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. The person who set the Formation was extremely skilled; she simply could not find a way to break it. To leave, she would have to force her way out. However, she did not expect that a Sword Formation was hidden within the Formation, one capable of threatening her. Under normal circumstances, forcing her way through would at most result in injury, but now there were two Void Return Third Layer experts in the Heavenly Sword Sect. If she were injured, she would certainly not escape death.

The only way was to unleash her strongest killing move to injure the two of them, and then break through the Formation to escape!

"Azure Profound Dragon!"

"How did it end up here!"

Ji Xuqing looked up, startled at first, then revealed a trace of solemnity. However, fortunately, Lin Yuan was by his side, so he wasn't too worried, though he felt puzzled.

Why would a Royal Family of the Demon Realm member run here, and it's a Great Yao that has just stepped into the Void Return Third Layer!

A Yao Race member of this level would be extremely troublesome even if they appeared in the Heavenly Abyss!

Ji Xuqing immediately took a step forward to shield Shen Nian and Ji Ba, ensuring everything was foolproof, and then said: "General Lin, how about we join forces and subdue it quickly?"

"Otherwise, if this beast goes mad, I'm afraid it will implicate many innocent people..."

Although he was also Void Return Third Layer, he was much weaker compared to the Royal Family. One-on-one, he could only ensure Ji Ba's safety, but fortunately, Lin Yuan was here.

This is a fierce man!

Joining forces with him, no matter how strong this Royal Family member is, it will be hard-pressed to escape death!

After all, this Royal Family Great Yao was not the strongest of the current generation of the Azure Profound Dragon Clan. The Azure Profound Dragon Clan has an ancient Legacy. Fortunately, this one only had three claws; if it were four-clawed, Ji Xuqing and Lin Yuan combined might not be able to take it down.

As for those with five claws or more, they are supreme Prodigies among the Royal Family of the Demon Realm; the only ones who can contend with them are those on the Human Race Heavenly Ranking.

However, before Lin Yuan could speak, he saw a White-robed Figure stepping through the air.

Leng Lingshuang's gaze had been on Shen Nian the whole time. Seeing his actions, she was stunned for a moment.

What is he trying to do?

"???" Ji Xuqing was dumbfounded. Watching Shen Nian pass him, he reached out to grab him, but couldn't reach; the other party had already entered the sky. He didn't pursue, because Ji Ba stood up wanting to follow Shen Nian, and was immediately scooped up by him.

"Damn it, don't be stupid, that dragon is not something you can fight right now!"

"General Lin!"

"Keep an eye on Lord Shen!"

He was suddenly somewhat angry. What is this situation? Why did Shen Nian rush up?

Although you have reached the Void Return Realm, the one in front of you is Third Layer! If you were to say Shen Nian was Third Layer, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. This Lower Realm simply does not have enough resources for Shen Nian to step into the Void Return Third Layer.

If you say he wants to fight the Third Layer at the First Layer, that is also impossible! What kind of good dao palace can a Void Return cultivator in the Lower Realm have?

"Brother Ji, have you ever seen an immortal palace?" Lin Yuan slowly stepped forward and said indifferently.

When this sentence was spoken, Ji Xuqing was stunned.

What does that mean?

Immortal palace?

Is it the one where we drink in Eastern Profound?

What time is it, and you're still not being serious?

However!

After a supreme immortal might emerged, Ji Xuqing looked up and was frozen in place, muttering: "How can his immortal palace be so high..."

Even Lin Yuan was seeing Shen Nian's immortal palace for the first time, and he stared in astonishment, cursing: "Holy crap, so high?"

"Is this still a dao palace?"

Leng Lingshuang gazed at the White-robed Figure surrounded by divine light, her entire being completely numb. Looking up at that high and mighty figure, even a casual wisp of his aura made her feel unreachable; she was as insignificant as ants...

Even Xia Youyue was frozen in place, looking at the sky with a face full of surprise. At this moment, the aura Shen Nian emitted had already surpassed Soul Transformation. How could she not understand that this had already reached Void Return.

Senior Brother really surprises people every time they meet, and also makes one feel a trace of despair. Every time she thought she had climbed this mountain, she only discovered it was merely the tip of the iceberg...

"But, Senior Brother's dao palace is so high; do all dao palaces look like this?" Xia Youyue looked at the firmament and couldn't help but think in her heart.

"thirty-six layer immortal palace?!?!?!" The Willow Tree suddenly shouted, her eyes filled with shock, recalling the records of the ancient lands of the Immortal Realm.

Those who ascend to the thirty-six layer peak surpass the Immortal Emperor, this is the Heavenly Net, capable of destroying the ancient!

This legendary thirty-six layer immortal palace only existed in records throughout the entire Immortal Realm and had never truly appeared. How could one pop up in the Lower Realm!!

In the crowd.

Jiang Churan revealed a look of shock, scratched her head, and her beautiful eyes held only an expression of disbelief.

"Sword Mother, wasn't he only at the Soul Transformation Early Stage when we last met?"

"How did his Realm rise faster than mine!!"

"Is he also a Rebirth cultivator?"

"Hiss... I sensed it, the aura of the Canglan Sword Formation, so strong, it has reached Perfection. He really cultivated it to Perfection, so fast!!"

"His Sword Intent Comprehension Ability is even more terrifying than you imagined, Sword Mother!"

"Is this stronger than me now!"

"Also, why is his dao palace so high? Heavens, there are thirty-six layers. That's not the same as what you told me; wasn't the limit thirty layers? How does he have six more!" Jiang Churan counted them one by one and suddenly gasped.

Inside her body, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit had already stood up, gazing at the young man in white in the sky, muttering to itself.

"One who forges a thirty-six layer immortal palace..."

"The records of that place the Master once visited are true."

"The Heavenly Net truly exists!!!"

Meanwhile, in the sky, Xuan Ling's dragon eyes were stunned as she looked at the white-clad figure walking over, and she understood in an instant.

"It's you!"

"You are the one who set the Formation, and that Sword Formation was also set by you!"

"Hehe, you want to stop this seat by yourself?" Xuan Ling immediately revealed a look of mockery, overjoyed in her heart. This Shen Family Disciple actually delivered himself to her doorstep; if she held him hostage, not only could she escape unscathed, but she might even perform a great service!

The youth in front of her only had an aura of Void Return First Layer, completely unworthy of fear!

But she had also seen that scene just now; to be able to make a Void Return Third Layer serve as a slave, this youth's status was definitely not low; perhaps he was a Son of the Sequence!

"You are a Shen Family Sequence, right?" Xuan Ling said coldly. Her massive dragon body surrounded him completely. Her dragon eyes stared at him as if looking at an ant, while her aura had already locked onto Shen Nian, capable of swallowing him into her dragon belly in an instant.

But the next second!

That heaven-surpassing Sword Intent surged, and the terrifying immortal might made her unable to move. After her internal Yao power was instantly suppressed, the massive Azure Dragon's eyes revealed unprecedented shock and a trace of hesitation.

Shen Nian gazed at her indifferently, stepping on the Void Realm. In front of this massive dragon head, Shen Nian was as small as a speck of dust, yet he could clearly see the ancient cyan runes covering the dragon head. He didn't speak, but instead waved his sword finger and shouted: "Slash!"

Boom!

The chaos demon emperor palace appeared behind him, and the power of the Dao flowed out continuously. The phantom of the supreme thirty-six layer immortal palace emerged, surrounded by sounds of immortals, with indistinct phantoms worshipping it, setting him off like an emperor among immortals, capable of commanding three thousand Immortal Lords.

At the same time!

Nine hundred and ninety-nine divine swords appeared in the sky, and the power of the Canglan Sword Formation poured into them completely.

Shen Nian exerted his full strength without any nonsense; he just wanted to use this Void Return Third Layer Royal Family of the Demon Realm member to test where his offensive limits were. This was also the reason why he did not use the Immortal Binding Rope, definitely not because he was afraid that the strange binding method would make him lose face in front of everyone!

"Immortal palace!!!" Xuan Ling shouted, her dragon eyes revealing an expression of disbelief. She had felt the aura of an immortal before; the dao palace of the young man in white in front of her was emitting immortal intent!

She never imagined that someone from the Human Race would have forged an immortal palace!

But when she saw the change in the dao palace behind Shen Nian, and the thirty-six layer immortal palace emerged—though only the first layer was solid and the others were all illusions—it brought an unprecedented impact to Xuan Ling. She looked up from the first layer, lifting her entire dragon head, until finally, she couldn't help but roar.

"What is this thing, so high!"

"What kind of dao palace is this?!?"

My Dao Heart of several thousand years almost shattered; this Shen Family Disciple is definitely not human!
