Supreme Dragon Lord

Long Chen casually glanced at He Luo and was about to speak when a spatial passage suddenly appeared before him. Indifferent to the others, he led Chu Lingjun and the rest toward the passage. It led directly to the fifth layer.

After seeing Long Chen’s group enter, He Luo’s face became extremely gloomy. This brat is absolutely lawless! How dare he disregard me?! He’s courting death!

He snorted coldly and immediately gave chase.

Xu Huanhuan and Xue Wuying also led the disciples from their respective Sects, rapidly heading toward the spatial passage.

Upon arriving at the fifth layer, Long Chen found himself alone in an empty space. Chu Lingjun, Long Xin, Tang Le, Lei Shishi, and the others who had entered with him were nowhere to be seen. This puzzled him greatly. He scanned his surroundings, but seeing no one, his brow furrowed. He immediately activated his Divine Demon Eye, his gaze sweeping the area in hopes of locating his companions, but he still could not find any sign of them.

When Long Chen tried to search the area, he found his path blocked by a restriction. Seeing this, his brow furrowed even deeper. To leave this place, he had no choice but to break it.

Long Chen examined the restriction carefully, a serious look washing over his face. Its design was very complex, and breaking it would not be easy.

With that in mind, Long Chen calmed himself and began to meticulously study the restriction before him. He knew that although its design was complex, it had to have an Array Eye. If he could find the restriction’s Array Eye, breaking it would become much simpler.

At the same time, a flicker of worry arose in his heart. I’m facing such a difficult restriction... I wonder what kind of situation Chu Lingjun and Long Xin are in.

「Meanwhile.」

In another space, Long Xin also found herself alone and facing a restriction.

Everyone else was in the same predicament. The problem before them was clear: they had to overcome the restriction to have any chance of leaving. Forcing their way through seemed incredibly difficult, leaving them all feeling quite helpless. For the time being, they could only calm themselves and search for a way to break it.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Everyone remained in their respective spaces, studying the restriction before them and searching for a way to break it. After a week of research, Long Chen had developed several ideas and gained a much better understanding of the formation.

He waved his hand, and a Defensive Barrier appeared around him. He then approached the restriction directly. As soon as he entered its range, several attacks suddenly shot toward him, which he immediately blocked.

Then, his hands moved rapidly, forming seals to conjure a Rune Inscription before him. He activated the inscription immediately and began searching for the restriction’s Array Eye.

Thanks to his week of research, he had gained a significant understanding of the restriction. Even when it launched attacks, Long Chen was able to mount a timely defense and avoid any harm. He used the Rune Inscriptions he created to begin altering and modifying the restriction.

The restriction’s design was incredibly complex. Breaking through this won’t be easy. Even with a few leads, Long Chen had to be extremely careful. One wrong move, and I could die here.

After carefully analyzing the restriction’s layers, Long Chen finally discovered the Array Eye. A faint smile touched the corners of his lips.

Then, his hands moved swiftly, forming seals to conjure a Rune Inscription that he sent directly toward the Array Eye. When the Rune Inscription landed on the Array Eye, it began to spin rapidly, completely enveloping it. A moment later, with a muffled sound, the Array Eye shattered, and the restriction surrounding Long Chen dissolved at the same instant.

Seeing the restriction broken, Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted.

He continued forward, but it was not long before he encountered another restriction.

His brow furrowed at the sight. Why are there so many restrictions here?

Long Chen had no choice but to stop and carefully examine the new restriction. He soon realized that this one was far more complex than the first. Considering its complexity, breaking through would likely take even more time and energy. And I have no idea how many more there are after this one.

Long Chen could not help but give a wry smile at the thought. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and stepped into the restriction.

Meanwhile, while Long Chen was entering the second restriction, everyone else was still trapped in the first. He Luo and Xue Wuying, in particular, were extremely frustrated. They had already expended a Herculean effort on the first restriction yet still had not managed to break through. Despite their frustration, they were helpless, as none of them could think of a good way to deal with it.

Time passed quickly, and two weeks went by in the blink of an eye.

During those two weeks, Long Chen finally broke the second restriction. Long Xin, Chu Lingjun, and the others also succeeded in breaking the first one. Xu Huanhuan, He Luo, and Xue Wuying were not far behind. Although they could not keep up with Long Chen, their progress was on par with Long Xin’s group.

"Damn it! These restrictions are incredibly difficult to break," Xue Wuying cursed in frustration. "I wonder how far He Luo and Xu Huanhuan have gotten." He paused, pondering for a moment before adding, "But their strength is similar to mine. Since I’m finding these restrictions so challenging, they probably aren’t much faster."

「At the same time.」

He Luo had a similar thought. In his eyes, only two people were worthy of being called his competitors: Xue Wuying and Xu Huanhuan. As for the disciples of the Jinglei Sect, he paid them no mind at all. In his view, Long Chen and his companions were still struggling within the first restriction.

What I need to do now is get to the seventh layer as quickly as possible, claim the inheritance, and set the stage for our Sect’s victory! The thought filled He Luo with determination.

What they did not know was that Long Chen was already far ahead of them.

After he broke the second restriction, a spatial passage appeared above him. Long Chen looked up, then with a leap, he passed through the spatial passage and arrived inside the sixth layer.
