The world inside the Vessel of Creation was riddled with wounds.

The earth was shattered, mountains scorched black.

After being baptized by the heavenly tribulation's lightning waterfall, the entire world inside the Vessel of Creation fell into deathly silence.

A thick, burnt stench permeated the air.

It was the smell of fierce beasts and cultivators' corpses after being cleansed by the lightning tribulation.

This was a great calamity that would shock the Ancient Path if word got out.

Because many famous prodigies had perished within.

What was more tragic was that they were merely innocent fish caught in a fire at the city gate.

From beginning to end, they were never the intended targets.

In the void, the Four Heavenly Kings tore through space and arrived at the core region.

To their surprise, that figure in spotless white robes was standing there calmly, as if waiting for their arrival.

"Jun Xiaoyao, we didn't expect that even the Chains of Order couldn't kill you. You've truly exceeded our expectations," Dhritarashtra Heavenly King said calmly.

The four of them positioned themselves in the east, west, south, and north directions, surrounding Jun Xiaoyao in the middle.

To them, Jun Xiaoyao was now a turtle in a jar, a beast in a cage.

He had absolutely no ability to escape or resist.

They were eager to see what kind of pathetic state this invincible prodigy, who had dominated from the Emperor's Path to the Ultimate Ancient Path, would be in when captured.

To their surprise, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was extremely calm, without the slightest ripple.

"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Court, this Divine Son hasn't even sought out the Celestial Court yet, but you've come to me first. It seems this Vessel of Creation trap was the grand gift you prepared for me," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Earlier, when Jun Xiaoyao learned that the Vessel of Creation was built by an ancient supreme being from the Celestial Court, he had already speculated about this.

He just couldn't be certain.

Later, upon arriving at the Vessel of Creation, although the Four Heavenly Kings had sealed their auras and hidden in the shadows,

With Jun Xiaoyao's keen perception, not even the slightest fluctuation could escape his senses.

Jun Xiaoyao immediately confirmed that this was a trap to lure him in.

But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care and entered the trap with ease.

Because he indeed needed the world origin essence inside the Vessel of Creation.

As for schemes and plots?

When a person's strength reaches a certain extreme,

Any scheme or plot appears pale and powerless before them.

However, the only thing Jun Xiaoyao hadn't anticipated was that they could manipulate the rules of the Vessel of Creation.

But this only slightly surprised Jun Xiaoyao; everything was still under his control.

"You're wrong. It's not a trap we set for you, but one that the Ancient Emperor's Son prepared for you," Virudhaka Heavenly King sneered.

"The Ancient Emperor's Son, that successor of the Fuxi Divine Lineage?" Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm.

The rise of the Jun family was destined to clash with the Supreme Celestial Court.

Jun Xiaoyao hadn't originally planned to deal with the Supreme Celestial Court so soon.

But the Supreme Celestial Court had come after him first.

"That Ancient Emperor's Son should be one of the Seven Rebel Emperors," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

"It seems you're not stupid. The Ancient Emperor's Son possesses the supreme Fuxi Sacred Body and has inherited the Emperor's legacy. He is destined to lead the Supreme Celestial Court to rise again in the future."

"And you, Jun Xiaoyao, will sacrifice yourself to let the Ancient Emperor's Son obtain the Crown of the Heavenly Way," Virupaksha Heavenly King said coldly.

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly smiled.

"You can still smile?" The Four Heavenly Kings frowned.

Jun Xiaoyao sighed with a smile and said, "Go back and tell that Ancient Emperor's Son: defying heaven may have exceptions, but defying me leaves absolutely no chance of survival!"

"All who oppose me are dead men!"

These words resounded like thunder, making the world tremble and the sky shudder!

"How dare you!"

"Insolent!"

The Four Heavenly Kings' expressions changed as they shouted, then directly activated the bronze disc.

In an instant, the rules of the Heavenly Way condensed into physical shackles that were placed on Jun Xiaoyao.

The rule shackles were as heavy as ten thousand weights. Ordinary saints would have their physical bodies instantly collapse if they wore them.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao released the light of his sacred body, with divine radiance flowing, blood energy like dragons, and endured it.

However, his magical power and physical strength were restrained to the extreme, barely able to exert a few tenths of his true power.

Outside the Vessel of Creation, everyone who saw this scene sighed.

Although the Four Heavenly Kings were very strong, if Jun Xiaoyao were at full strength, he might truly be able to fight all four simultaneously with his power alone.

But now, Jun Xiaoyao was limited by the rules of the Vessel of Creation and couldn't exert his true power.

With this change in circumstances, how could he possibly be a match for the Four Heavenly Kings?

Yan Rumeng, Xia Bingyun, Yu Chanjuan, and others were extremely anxious, their eyes showing concern.

"I believe in the Young Master's strength," Yi Yu said with firm conviction in his eyes.

He already had unconditional admiration for Jun Xiaoyao, believing him to be an invincible existence.

Of course, there were also those coldly observing from the sidelines, such as Yuan Can Dao Zi.

"It seems the myth of the Jun family's Divine Son's invincibility will be shattered today."

Inside the Vessel of Creation, the great battle began.

"Just a turtle in a jar, yet you dare to speak wildly. Let me subdue you!"

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Virudhaka Heavenly King, wearing cyan armor, was the first to attack.

He wielded a cyan cloud sword, six feet long, with a blade that emitted cyan sword light, as if it could split the sky in two.

"Kill!"

Virudhaka Heavenly King brought down his sword, and the sword light surged like a cyan river of stars pressing down.

Jun Xiaoyao formed a sword with his fingers, unleashing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique. The sword light was vast and magnificent, revealing the terrifying scene of immortals and gods falling.

When the two collided, Jun Xiaoyao didn't retreat at all, while Virudhaka Heavenly King groaned and stepped back repeatedly, his face showing disbelief.

"How is this possible? Haven't you been suppressed by the rule shackles?" Virudhaka Heavenly King couldn't believe it.

"This is impossible!"

The other three Heavenly Kings also widened their eyes.

The power of the rule shackles was clearly imposed on Jun Xiaoyao, as heavy as ten thousand weights, restricting his physical strength and magical divine power.

Logically, Jun Xiaoyao should only be able to exert thirty percent of his power.

"Could it be..."

Thinking of a possibility, Dhritarashtra Heavenly King drew in a sharp breath.

The only possibility was that even with just thirty percent of his power, Jun Xiaoyao was still enough to crush Virudhaka Heavenly King.

"I don't believe it. Again!"

Virudhaka Heavenly King let out a long howl. Among forbidden prodigies, he was considered top-tier, and his cyan cloud sword had once beheaded forbidden prodigies.

With his cultivation, how could he possibly be unable to defeat a Jun Xiaoyao whose power was suppressed to the extreme?

"Foolish."

Jun Xiaoyao didn't bother to say more. He stepped forward, using the Kun Peng's extreme speed.

His figure instantly flashed to Virudhaka Heavenly King's front, employing the Kun Peng Great Divine Art.

With a sweep of his hand, like the tail of a ten-thousand-mile Kun Peng, he stirred up boundless waves of runes.

A casual strike made the void explode, enough to shatter a ten-thousand-zhang mountain.

Puchi!

Virudhaka Heavenly King held his sword horizontally in front of him, but felt an unparalleled divine power strike heavily, making him involuntarily spit blood.

Many of his bones were broken, half of his body about to collapse, his surface covered with bloodstains and cracks.
