Chapter 1982: The Waning Lights, Raging for Love! (Four)

In the Capital of the Dao Ancient Clan, within the Sky City floating in mid-air, most areas remained bustling and lively. Music filled the air amidst the clamor of voices, and under the bright lights, it was as peaceful as a flourishing era.

The events near the Dao Ancient Palace, and that earth-shattering roar, did not spread far due to the immense size of the Dao Ancient Imperial City and the unique nature of the Dao Ancient Palace mountains.

No one noticed that on the eve of the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate's grand wedding, a monumental event was about to occur this night, one that would overturn the heavens and earth for the Dao Ancient Lineage, and even the entire Ancient Clan continent!

Countless members of the Three Lineages were still drinking merrily, raising their cups under the lights, but as faint rumbling sounds drifted down from the sky, everyone who heard them frowned, looking up. At that sight, all those who looked felt their minds shake, and they abruptly stood up.

The music, accompanying the approaching roar, abruptly ceased one after another!

They saw a long rainbow, like a shooting star, flash across the sky from afar, stirring up thunderous roars that seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth. As it sped away, the booming thunder actually caused the ground to tremble and layers of ripples to appear in the sky, like a Needlefish darting quickly through the water, seemingly intent on splitting the sky in two!

An indescribable Evil Qi descended from the sky. All Three Lineages members invaded by this Evil Qi trembled, their eyes revealing terror!

They vaguely sensed that a major event was about to unfold within the Dao Ancient Imperial City!

Wang Lin, high in the sky, had already spotted the bustling Imperial Palace. From the Dao Ancient Palace to this location, he had only used a few short breaths of time, comparable to Shrinking the Ground into an Inch. The Imperial Palace was protected by Restrictions that disrupted the power of heaven and earth, preventing the direct use of Shrinking the Ground into an Inch.

Gazing at the Imperial Palace, the figure of Li Muwan appeared before Wang Lin's eyes. This figure caused Wang Lin's heart to ache as if being sliced by a knife, dripping blood, and he let out a roar. Amidst his roar, he charged toward the Imperial Palace like a true lunatic.

But the instant he approached within a hundred miles, hundreds of phantom figures immediately materialized in the sky ahead like wisps of smoke, forming hundreds of Dao Ancient Imperial Palace Guards clad in Armor!

Immediately afterward, on the ground, nearly ten thousand Dao Ancient Clan members flashed out from various positions, raising a cloud of dust like ten thousand galloping horses. Thousands more approached from afar, forming a cage of heaven and earth that blocked Wang Lin's path!

"So it is Lord Wang Lin." One of the figures in the sky stepped forward. The moment he clearly saw Wang Lin, his eyes flashed, revealing gloom.

"Didn't Lord depart already? Why trespass here? Do you know this is death…" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Lin let out a low growl.

"Get lost!! Those who block me shall die!" Wang Lin took a step forward. Like a raging Primordial Vicious Beast, he unleashed a punch, causing the heavens and earth to rumble. Dozens of people in front of him trembled, and their Physical Bodies instantly exploded!

The first batch of blood for this feast of slaughter rained down from the sky, raising the curtain on the banquet!

It was also at this moment that nine long rainbows whistled over from the space behind Wang Lin. They were precisely the nine individuals under Xuan Luo's command. The moment they saw Wang Lin commence the slaughter, their faces turned pale.

"Quickly inform the Imperial Venerate! Wang Lin… he intends Regicide!" The old man with the highest cultivation, despite following Xuan Luo, had a fanaticism for imperial power ingrained in his bones, causing him to violate Xuan Luo's instructions in that instant.

As soon as these words were uttered, the expressions of the nearly ten thousand Imperial Palace Guards surrounding them changed drastically. They were already stunned by Wang Lin's previous punch, and hearing this now instantly jolted them awake.

But it was too late. Only overwhelming rumbling filled the area, accompanied by echoing, miserable screams. Wang Lin sped forward without stopping; everyone who blocked his path had their flesh and blood collapse, dying miserably!

The nine individuals under Xuan Luo gritted their teeth and chased directly after Wang Lin. Using some unknown Divine Ability, they suddenly appeared in front of him. Without a word, they decisively chose to attack!

For these nine, when faced with a choice between Xuan Luo and Imperial power, they chose Imperial power without the slightest hesitation!

"You are courting death!" Wang Lin originally did not wish to kill these nine, but their repeated obstruction had triggered Wang Lin's defiance. A killing intent flashed in his eyes. The instant the nine appeared, Wang Lin suddenly raised his right hand, and a massive palm print materialized before him—it was none other than the Spirit Command Seal!

As the Seal appeared, ninety-nine illusory, overlapping shadows immediately formed upon it. These shadows shimmered, suddenly increasing significantly, totaling one hundred and twenty-one illusory figures that instantly converged. After merging into one, the Spirit Command Seal displayed the sixth finger, the seventh finger, the eighth finger, the ninth finger… all the way to the tenth finger!

The One Palm Ten Finger Seal roared forth. The nine men gritted their teeth, erupting with the full power of the Ancient Clan throughout their bodies. Illusory figures materialized behind them. The instant they roared in resistance, an earth-shattering boom, overwhelming and loud enough to pass into the Imperial Palace ahead, erupted.

Under this roar, the nine men screamed. They possessed no power to resist; their Physical Bodies collapsed the moment they were touched by the palm print. All nine perished!

Simultaneously with their deaths, the palm print swept forward, and wherever it passed, none of the Imperial Palace Guards blocking the way survived, immediately shrouding the area in gore.

If this were the Immortal Clan Imperial City, upon seeing this scene, the remaining people would certainly scatter and flee for their lives. They would never charge forward, knowing the massive disparity and certain death.

But this was the Ancient Clan, where Imperial power reigned supreme. The remaining Imperial Palace Guards rushed forward like madmen, burning their Bloodlines in a frenzy to stop the palm print!

Before the rumbling and screams reached the Imperial Palace a hundred miles away, it remained a scene of great fervor—people talked, laughed, and drank, with a constant stream of individuals stepping forward to offer congratulations to the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate.

The Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate constantly wore a smile, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter. Song Zhi, who was next to him, sat there silently, head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

However, the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate's gaze, whenever he looked at the woman, carried a hint of amusement. He was genuinely happy now; in fact, it had been a very long time since he felt this joyful.

He was already ninety percent certain that Wang Lin and the remnant soul knew each other. Judging by Wang Lin's previous demeanor, their relationship was far from simple; it was the relationship of Dao Companions.

Every time he thought of this, the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate would laugh heartily and drain his cup in one gulp. This was the feeling he enjoyed—the thought of Wang Lin's agonizing expression while he favored this Empress later on.

"Why should you obtain the Soul Blood? I am the legitimate descendant of the Ancient Ancestor! Why could you become Xuan Luo's Disciple when Xuan Luo refused me, despite my bitter pleas back then!

Why?! You are merely an ant from the Immortal Cave Realm, a vulgar and contemptible person. How can you compare to me, the Heaven's Chosen! Now, you have even come to my Dao Ancient Clan, and upon seeing me, you dare not kneel! Wang Lin, you have immense audacity; you clearly don't regard me at all! I don't care what your cultivation is, in my Ancient Clan, when you see me, you must kneel!

If you won't kneel, fine. After the grand ceremony tomorrow, I will immediately favor this Empress and see what your woman tastes like!

Judging by his appearance, he seems to be searching desperately, but he doesn't know that the woman he seeks is right beside me, and she is my Empress!" Thinking this, the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate laughed again and raised his cup.

Seeing the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate laugh without reason, the people of the Three Clans on the platform outside the great hall also smiled and raised their cups to drink together.

But before they could drink the wine, and before the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate could finish his laughter, everyone present heard an earth-shattering boom coming from outside the Imperial Palace!

Although the rumble was muffled when it arrived, this sudden change instantly brought the commotion in the area to a halt. Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward the direction of the sound.

However, due to the Restrictions on Divine Sense within the Imperial Palace, their vision was blurry when they looked. Furthermore, a frantic aura surrounded the source of the rumbling. This aura repelled all Divine Sense observation, preventing even the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate from discerning the situation.

"It's nothing!" the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate said slowly, raising the wine cup to his lips and taking a sip.

His action caused the Three Clans members on the square and platform to calm down. They harbored no worries, as this was, after all, the Dao Ancient Imperial Palace, the center of the Ancient Clan's three great Imperial powers. The defenses here were extraordinary; they did not believe anyone could trespass and survive.

The sounds of revelry slowly began to rise again within the Imperial Palace, and congratulatory messages resumed.

However, as the rumbling from outside grew closer, the area gradually became quiet again. No one noticed the slight tremble in the hand of the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate as he set down his wine cup.

He frowned, staring into the distance.

"Where are the Imperial Guards!" the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate asked slowly.

The moment he spoke, the One Hundred and Eight Guards all stood up and knelt on one knee toward the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate.

"Go out, kill the troublemaker, and bring me his head!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The One Hundred and Eight Guards spoke in unison, their unified voices transforming into a resounding sound wave that contained a sense of chilling slaughter.

Transforming into one hundred and eight long rainbows, the One Hundred and Eight Guards instantly shot straight toward the outside of the Imperial Palace!

"Escort the Empress to rest!" As the One Hundred and Eight Guards flew out, the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate spoke slowly. Immediately, two wispy phantom figures appeared beside Song Zhi and bowed to her.

Song Zhi stood up in silence, her eyes beneath the pearl curtain filled with confusion. She looked vaguely toward the direction of the rumbling outside the Imperial Palace, and the phrase "Wan'er" she had heard earlier echoed in her ears once more.

"Aren't you going back yet!" The Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate frowned, giving Song Zhi a cold, merciless look.

Song Zhi seemed very afraid. She trembled and lowered her head. Just as she was about to walk toward the back of the hall with the two phantom figures, a sudden, earth-shattering boom—extremely clear, as if right beside their ears—erupted outside the great hall's square!

Following the roar, the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate immediately looked over, but his expression instantly changed drastically!

He saw the figures of the One Hundred and Eight Guards tumbling backward. They spat out blood, their Physical Bodies collapsing with a boom in the sky. Amidst the splashing gore, one person did not perish instantly. He crashed onto the ground with a thump, knelt toward the Dao Ancient Imperial Venerate, and, spitting blood, let out a piercing scream that echoed throughout the square.

"It's Wang Lin!! He intends Regicide!!!"
