Chapter 181. The Outbreak of Restrictions (1/2)

Ancient Emperor’s body was motionless as he took a careful look, and couldn’t help but curse out, “This is another series of restrictions. This person is devious beyond all reason!”

He waved his right hand and four white flags appeared. They rotated once and landed on his four sides.

His eyes suddenly darkened. Under the direction of his hands, the four flags suddenly started to enlarge. The flags moved around as they produced white snakes that floated to Wang Lin’s location.

Those white snakes circled around for a while, until one of them pointed at a rock nearby.

Wang Lin was calm as he sat within his many restrictions. He wasn’t nervous or surprised at all. He felt very confident in the restriction techniques he’d been developing for the past ten years. If the restrictions were laid last minute, they might not fool the target. These restrictions however, took him a year to set up.

Because of this, even though the other side was using such a unique method, Wang Lin wasn’t nervous at all. He only sneered and stayed motionless.

The spot that Ancient Emperor had noticed was a deliberate weak point left by Wang Lin, and if the he didn’t notice that, then he would suffer.

The white snakes twisted themselves together, moving faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye they landed on one of the many restrictions Wang Lin had placed.

The rock looked very ordinary, but under the white light, it slowly disappeared, revealing a small trail for one person to pass.

The Ancient Emperor stared at the small trail, but didn’t head towards it. He waved his right hand, retrieving the white snakes, then started to carefully observe the area.

Given Ancient Emperor’s years of experience breaking restrictions in this mountain, this restriction must have some devious killing method hidden within. If he wasn’t careful, he might set off some larger restrictions.

As he was very close to the top of the mountain, he would already be struggling with the current restrictions if not for his thousand years of studying them. After this point, it would only get harder.

Ancient Emperor was very careful. He sat down on the ground and used his hand to control the white snakes to slowly break into the restriction.

Wang Lin let out a snort. The distance between him and Ancient Emperor was less than 10 feet, but Ancient Emperor didn’t notice him. Even with a soul sweep, it would be difficult to access the restriction. Besides Wang Lin himself, no one else knew how many restrictions he had set up here.

However, given Wang Lin’s temperament, there must’ve been many restriction set up in the vicinity. In fact, it could be said that all the knowledge he had obtained in the past 10 years had been placed here.

After a year, Ancient Emperor was sitting in front of the open trail with an ugly look on his face. He originally thought that the restriction was very complex because it was set by that devious person, but after a month of careful study, he was surprised to find that the restriction was very simple. The sudden change caused him to feel very annoyed. Good thing he had encountered these situations before. He took a deep breath and looked at the top of the mountain. He decided that if he ever met this mysterious person, he would definitely teach them a lesson. His hatred for his man had already turned into an obsession.

But nevertheless, the Ancient Emperor was still very careful and still held his breath. That mysterious person was best at sudden change. Many times what had looked to be true would turn out to be false, but the moment you let your guard down, what is false is in fact true.

As a result, the Ancient Emperor put all his focus on his surroundings as he walked forward.

He walked toward the trail, but after he moving not even 5 feet, the rocks around him started shifting. One by one, stone spikes shot toward him like lightning.

When Ancient Emperor saw the stone spikes he wasn’t surprised, but relieved. He waved his right hand and a blue light surrounded his body. The moment the stone spikes hit the blue light, they turned blue as well.

Looking from a distance, you could see a long trail of intertwining blue stone spikes.

Then, a wind suddenly blew by and all the stone spikes shattered and fell to the ground. The trail was now filled with shards of broken frozen rocks.

Ancient Emperor raised his foot and walked toward the exit. As he was about reach the exit, deep in the restriction, an illusionary circle appeared in Wang Lin’s hand. As long as he threw the circle, he could trigger all the nearby restrictions to attack.

Although the chance of killing the Ancient Emperor was low, it would at least be able to wound him.

After musing over the idea for a while, Wang Lin put away the illusionary circle and allowed the Ancient Emperor to leave the restriction. The reason why he didn’t set off the restrictions was because he didn’t want to tip the balance. If the Ancient Emperor was wounded, he would look for a place to heal, and unless something threatened his life, he wouldn’t move. This wouldn’t adhere to Wang Lin’s best interest.

However, Wang Lin still decided to act against Ancient Emperor. He created another illusionary circle and sent it out. The circle spread out, creating a myriad of afterimages. At this moment, all the restrictions Wang Lin had placed were activated.

Due to Ancient Emperor’s extensive study on restrictions, he noticed something was amiss when he was more than half way out of the trail. He detected layers and layers of restrictions going off. The amount of restrictions was enough to numb his skull. His face suddenly turned very ugly has he dashed toward the exit.

Meanwhile, all the restrictions activated.

Rays of colorful lights appeared from the mountainside, flying toward Ancient Emperor.

Ancient Emperor’s face looked pale. He knew that the colorful light had no attack power. However, the moment he gets hit, he will be teleported to wherever the person who set the restriction wanted him to be.

The Ancient Emperor quickly waved his right hand as 4 small flags appeared. He regrettably looked at the flags and spit out a mouthful of Ling Qi. The 4 flags started to rotate and a black tunnel appeared before them.

Right before the colorful light had arrived, the Ancient Emperor jumped into the dark tunnel and appeared 10 feet away.

After he left the restriction, he suddenly accelerated forward, sweat glistening on his brow. He turned around with a sullen face and saw that the restriction had already returned to normal.

He stayed silent, then turned around and walked away as the 4 flags spun around him.

Wang Lin’s eyes were on the flags the entire time. The reason he attacked was because all these old fellows were extremely crafty. If they pass by without any obstruction, they would grow suspicious at the change.

Might as well attack and put him in some danger to avoid any suspicion. After all, this mountain was full of restrictions. It was only natural to break them in order to pass.

Only, Wang Lin didn’t realize how powerful the flags were. They were able to create a hole in the restriction to escape from. Those flags must be the Ancient Emperor’s trump card in passing restrictions.

Wang Lin thought for a moment and continued to sit there. His eyes were focused on the giant whirlpool at the top of the mountain.

Six Desire Devil Lord was currently 100 feet away from the top of the mountain, his face dark. If it wasn’t for that youngster, he would have arrived at this point 2 years ago.

Even for him, he wouldn’t dare trigger the restrictions at this point. Before, there was a failure in breaking a restriction that triggered a teleportation light to shoot at him. This type of thing was what he hated the most. If he had been teleported, it would be hard to survive. With no time to dodge, he used the youth he brought with him as a shield to escape.

Six Desire Devil lord didn’t care whether or not the youth lived. However, he had spent much sweat and blood on him. So when the youth was taken away by the light, he chased after him, and after much trouble, was able to recover the youth.

The youth was standing next to him, eyes closed with no sign of life. In fact, the moment the teleporting light hit him, he was already killed by the restriction.

But strangely, the youth still followed Six Desire Devil Lord. Six Desire Devil Lord looked back and sneered as he felt another one of his restrictions broken by the person behind him.

This person had continuously broken through the restrictions he had set up. They had already become the greatest enemy in his heart. He licked his lips and thought to himself, “This must be Ancient Emperor. If it wasn’t for all these restrictions around here, this would be a good time to kill him. But I have placed a few super strong restrictions in these hundred feet. I want to see if you can break them.” He looked at the youth at his side and sneered.

His eyes shifted back to the restrictions on the whirlpool. Even with his abilities, it was impossible to break through. Even his master was stopped at this point.

This time, Six Desire Devil Lord had the confidence to come here. How could he not be prepared. He looked at the youth beside him, let out a proud smile, and said, “I spent hundreds of years this creating this killer. You’ll definitely allow me to enter the ancient god’s body.”

He sat down cross legged. With a wave of his left hand, the youth also sat down cross legged. The Six Desire Devil Lord moved both his hands to form a spiral restriction that surrounded both of them.

On Ancient Emperor’s side, the restrictions got harder and harder as he progressed. If it wasn’t for his current strength, he would already have died.

Even so, he hand to spend a lot of his treasures to have came out of those restrictions alive.

Some of the restrictions couldn’t just be cracked anymore, some even required massive amounts of magic power to pass through. Ancient Emperor was very gloomy.

As Ancient Emperor walked out of another restriction, he was less than 200 feet away from the top of the mountain. Because there were no more restrictions blocking his sight, he saw the Six Desire Devil Lord, who wore a gloomy expression. Behind him was a black whirlpool that lead to who knows where, and in the middle of the whirlpool was the youth that had been following Six Desire Devil Lord.

Six Desire Devil Lord looked at Ancient Emperor. He hadn’t expected him to get up here so quickly. If he had enough time for 1 incense stick to burn, he could have finished the whirlpool restriction. Although it would only last 3 seconds, it was more than enough for him.

But at this moment, Ancient Emperor appeared outside his expectations, forcing him to change his plan.

Ancient Emperor’s eyes shrunk when he saw the whirlpool. He remembered that this was exactly the same whirlpool that Six Desire Devil Lord’s teacher, Sky Devil, used. It’s a restriction technique that could bypass hundreds of restrictions.

“Six Desire…” Ancient Emperor’s eyes were dull as he suppressed his anger. Compared to Six Desire Devil Lord, he wanted to find the mysterious youth even more. His eyes swept the area and landed on the youth. He frowned and said, “Is he the mysterious youth? However, there is no feeling of life coming from him…”

The corner of Six Desire Devil Lord’s mouth twitched and he gently said, “I never expected brother Ancient Emperor would arrive here as well. This is a cause for celebration!”

Ancient Emperor smirked. While suppressing his anger, he said, “It was all thanks to the “help” that you and this youth left behind that this old bag of bones was able to make it here.”

Six Desire Devil Lord looked at the youth, his eyes turned cold, and said, “Brother Ancient Emperor, what do you mean?

Ancient Emperor’s face was sullen, eyeing the restrictions set up by Six Desire Devil Lord, he didn’t say a word.

Six Desire Devil Lord sneered in his heart, but there was no change in his expression, he laughed. “Brother Ancient Emperor, in this place there is only two of us. With our strength, even if both of us were to fight then it is bound to trigger many larger restrictions.”

Ancient Emperor stayed silent, then said, “First, remove the restrictions and let me come over.”

Six Desire Devil Lord faltered a bit as he saw the four flags rotating around Ancient Emperor.

Ancient Emperor gave the whirlpool a quick look and sneered, “This whirlpool restriction doesn’t seem to be complete. If I were to trigger the nearby restrictions, would the passage close permanently?”

Six Desire Devil Lord’s face didn’t change at all. He nodded his head and smiled. He waved his hand and the restriction split in half. Since this restriction was broken by him, he would naturally be able to set it up again.

Ancient Emperor walked forward without saying a word. His eyes never left Six Desire Devil Lord. After he walked more than half way through the restrictions, Ancient Emperor suddenly moved his body. The four white flags created a tunnel, and Ancient Emperor quickly entered it.

The moment Ancient Emperor suddenly made a move, Six Desire Devil Lord closed his hand and the restriction was set up again and was activated.

But he never thought that Ancient Emperor’s flags were so powerful. The moment the restriction was set up and activated, Ancient Emperor came out of the tunnel and was only ten feet away.

The moment he appeared, Ancient Emperor didn’t hesitate. A ray of light shot out from his mouth. The light wasn’t aimed at Six Desire Devil Lord, but at the youth in the middle of the whirlpool. The reason Ancient Emperor showed his life saving treasure was because his hate for the youth was just monstrous.

Six Desire Devil Lord’s expression changed. Both his hands clapped onto a printed paper, and yelled, “Desire!” Suddenly, yellow light came out of the stomach of the youth, turning into a sword. It slammed into the light shot by Ancient Emperor.

A wave of spirit energy rippled outward and instantly activated some of the restrictions nearby. With the pressure of the restrictions activating, Ancient Emperor could no longer attack. He quickly set up his own restriction to stop the activations.

Six Desire Devil Lord did the same thing. After a while, the nearby restrictions finally calmed down and were sealed again. Six Desire Devil Lord’s face was very pale as he stared at Ancient Emperor. He savagely said, “If you want to die, just charge in to the restriction right now!”

Ancient Emperor had a dark face. He pointed to the youth and said, “I, Ancient Emperor, swear to the heavens that if you give me that youth I won’t fight you until we reach the 3rd realm.”

Six Desire Devil frowned and thought to himself, “Did he see through it?” However, with his face pale, he said “He is a dead man, how did he offend you?”
