Chapter 2657: Absolute Authority (1)
Yun Lintian looked at Yang Xie curiously. He had never heard of the title Grand Protector before, but judging from the way Dian Lun and Tang Zhen addressed him, this man clearly held an extremely high status among the Chaos Knights.
"And you are?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice calm and steady.
Yang Xie's lips curved into a faint smile. "I am Yang Xie. Grand Protector of Haven, and the one who will stop you here."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Stop me? I'd like to see you try."
Yang Xie's smile widened. "Very well," he said, his voice taking on a sharper edge. "If you are so confident, then allow me to show you the difference in our strength."
He raised his hand, and the space around them distorted, the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift swirling and converging.
"Hmm?" Yun Lintian's eyes widened in surprise as he felt an invisible force pressing down on him, sealing his movements, restricting his power. He tried to resist, to break free, but the force was too strong, too absolute.
He had never encountered such a power before, a power that could completely seal his abilities, a power that seemed to transcend the laws of reality itself.
Yang Xie looked at Yun Lintian, his expression calm but his eyes filled with a chilling intensity.@@@@
"This is merely a taste of my power," he said, his voice low and menacing. "Do not overestimate yourself, Yun Lintian. You are still too young, too inexperienced, to challenge the might of Haven."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. The seal Yang Xie had cast was unlike anything he had ever encountered. It wasn't just a suppression of his energy or a simple spatial lock—it was as if the very laws of the world around him had been rewritten. The air felt heavy, and even the chaotic energy of the Abyssal Rift seemed to bow to Yang Xie's will.
However, Yun Lintian was not one to be easily cowed. He had faced countless life-and-death situations, and his instincts told him that no seal, no matter how powerful, was truly unbreakable. The key was to find its weakness, to exploit the smallest crack in its foundation.
"I must say it's truly powerful," Yun Lintian said, his voice steady despite the pressure bearing down on him. "But do you really think this is enough to stop me?"
in shock. They had never seen anything like it. Yun Lintian had actually broken Yang Xie's seal, a seal that they believed to be unbreakable.
Yang Xie's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the crown on Yun Lintian's head, his expression unreadable.
"That crown..." he murmured, his voice low and thoughtful. "It cannot be... It's the Elemental Crown!"
A flicker of recognition crossed his eyes, and a hint of surprise colored his voice. "The God of Elements' Elemental Crown... I thought it was destroyed along with Yun Wuhan, but it seems it was passed down to you."
Yun Lintian looked at Yang Xie, his expression curious. "You know this crown?" he asked.
Yang Xie nodded slowly. "Indeed," he said. "It is an artifact of immense power, a symbol of the God of Elements' authority. It is said to be able to control the very elements of the world, to bend them to the will of its wearer."
He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on Yun Lintian.
"It seems your father managed to fool all of us," Yang Xie chuckled. "As expected from the original Primordial God. He actually deceived everyone thoroughly back then."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed, brimming with murderous aura. "How did he die?" he asked coldly.
"That's not something I can tell you," Yang Xie smiled faintly. "You have come this far because of his sacrifice. You should cherish your life more."
He paused for a moment and continued. "Go back. This is not a place where you can do anything at will. Even with the crown, you are still nothing here."
Many questions popped up in Yun Lintian's mind. He wanted to know more about his father, but Yang Xie definitely wouldn't tell him. Moreover, from Yang Xie's reaction, he was quite sure that the Lord of Chaos didn't tell Yang Xie anything about his parents. Otherwise, he would have known that Yun Lintian had always had the crown.
Yun Lintian stared at Yang Xie and said, "How do you know if you haven't tried?"
Yang Xie smiled, with his hands behind his back. "Bring it on then. I want to know as well how capable you truly are."
