Ryan Yang snorted coldly, "My father has important matters to attend to, that's why he hasn't come out. If he did, do you really think you'd still be standing here?"
"You sure have a lot of faith in your father. But let me tell you, even if your father shows up, it'll be the same result. Just watch—I'll trap every last one of you, and not only that, I want your father to hand over the secret to creating a realm like this!" Luo Sky God laughed loudly.
"Is that so? Don't brag too much." At that moment, Evan Yang stood not far behind Sky God Rowan Locke. Hearing this, Rowan was shocked, and without hesitation, he vanished from his original spot and reappeared elsewhere, eyeing Evan Yang suspiciously.
Ryan Yang was overjoyed when he saw Evan Yang appear. "Father, you finally came!"
"Hmm, are you all alright?" Evan Yang smiled.
Ryan Yang shook his head, "I'm fine, but Master..."
Evan Yang also knew that Ethan Frost had been inside for a long time. He said, "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
After speaking, Evan Yang gripped the Limitless Spear, gathering immense power and directly locking onto the cage, forcefully attacking it.
Boom! With a single strike, the cage collapsed, and Ethan Frost inside was released. Soon, Gavin White and Brocade were freed as well.
Sky God Rowan Locke eyed Evan Yang suspiciously. "You're the master of this world-realm?"
"That's right. Are you Sky God Rowan Locke? A master of space?" Evan Yang smiled.
"That's right, and I'm also his master! If you know what's good for you, hand over the secret to this world-realm. And not just that, I'm taking Ethan Frost with me too." Sky God Rowan Locke said.
Evan Yang smiled, "Not only will I not give you Ethan Frost, I definitely won't give you the secret either."
"Is that so? Then watch how I trap you." Luo Sky God snorted coldly.
Evan Yang glanced at Sky God Rowan Locke. "It's not you trapping me—it's me trapping you."
With that, Evan Yang threw out an invisible object—the new Emperor's Barrier Domain he'd developed, able to move freely. It instantly enveloped Sky God Rowan Locke's location, preventing him from escaping this space. Startled, Sky God Rowan Locke exclaimed, "What kind of space is this?"
"This is just an Emperor's Barrier Domain," Evan Yang said with a smile.
"An Emperor's Barrier Domain? Impossible! How could a barrier move?" Sky God Rowan Locke said in disbelief.
Evan Yang smiled, "Don't believe it? But this really is an Emperor's Barrier Domain."
Sky God Rowan Locke was already frightened by Evan Yang's unknown ability—after all, he'd never seen an Emperor's Barrier Domain that could move before.
Yang Han's barrier kept moving, trapping Luo Sky God as if he were stuck inside, totally controlled by Yang Han.
Everyone looked at Yang Han and Luo Sky God in shock—just one exchange, and Luo Sky God ended up in this state, without even a chance to fight back.
An angry Luo Sky God tried all sorts of methods, but still couldn't escape.
"Kid, you'd better let me out," Luo Sky God snorted coldly.
"Letting you out depends on your attitude," Yang Han sneered.
"What do you want?" Luo Sky God asked angrily. Yang Han replied, "Who sent you here?"
"Why should I tell you?" Luo Sky God snorted. Bai Yue spoke up, "He's from the World-End Society. Luo Sky God has long since become one of them."
Hearing this, Yang Han smiled, "So that's it. The World-End Society—who sent you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Luo Sky God replied.
Yang Han smiled, "Still so stubborn at a time like this? No worries, I'll slowly torture you."
After that, Yang Han layered many other attack attributes inside the barrier, brutally torturing Luo Sky God until he was a complete mess. Someone with eight hundred strands of Heavenly Dao Intent ended up like this! Luo Sky God muttered bitterly, "Damn it. I'm furious."
"So what if you're angry? So what if you're furious? I suggest you give up struggling, or your fate will be even worse," Yang Han said.
Luo Sky God asked, "If I tell you, will you let me go?"
"I might consider it. But if I let you go, you'll have to duel the Spatial Patriarch," Yang Han smiled.
This was exactly what Bing Tian had requested of Yang Han. Luo Sky God sneered, "Him?"
"What, are you scared?" Yang Han smiled.
"Pfft, I'm not scared at all. Fine, I'll tell you. The one who sent me was Lady Raksha." Luo Sky God said.
"Lady Raksha? Where is she now?" Yang Han asked. Luo Sky God shook his head, "I don't know."
"You really don't know?" Yang Han pressed. Luo Sky God replied, "Of course I don't. If I did, I'd tell you."
"Alright, you can come out now." Yang Han released the barrier. Bing Tian stepped up and said, "Today, I'm going to kill you."
"Save it. You?" Luo Sky God snorted. Bing Tian had already planned his move—he gripped the Space Cone, instantly pierced all space, appeared beside Luo Sky God, and smashed him down with the artifact, knocking him unconscious.
It all happened in an instant. Luo Sky God was knocked out. Yang Ling exclaimed, "Master, you're actually so powerful! Why didn't you deal with him like that earlier?"
"Earlier, I hadn't planned to use this artifact. But when I saw he could make such a cage, I realized there was only one chance—I had to be fast, precise, and ruthless. That's why I used it just now," Bing Tian explained.
"What about him?" Yang Ling asked curiously.
Bing Tian replied, "His soul has already been locked inside the Space Cone. What you see here is just his body."
"So that's how it is. Damn him!" Yang Ling said, then went over and kicked his body.
Yang Han looked at Bing Tian curiously, "What kind of artifact is that?"
"It's the Space Cone—a soul-sealing spatial treasure that locks a person's soul inside, and can also pierce through space," Bing Tian answered.
Yang Han nodded, "A fine artifact."
"Compared to yours, it's still inferior," Bing Tian smiled.
Yang Han smiled, "Senior, you're too modest."
"So what do we do now?" Yang Ling interjected as the two were being polite. Yang Han snapped back to attention, "That Lady Raksha keeps causing trouble for me—she'll definitely send more people. We'll just stay here for now."
(Irrelevant webnovel navigation prompt, skip translation.)
Yang Ling nodded, and Yang Han led everyone back to the clan.
On the other side, Lady Raksha frowned upon hearing that Luo Sky God had met with disaster. "This Yang Han is becoming more and more formidable. I need to report to the higher-ups—if we can't control him, it'll be a problem."
Feeling increasingly threatened by Yang Han, Lady Raksha entered a secret chamber and found her master there, reporting everything about Yang Han's recent actions.
Upon hearing this, the master smiled, "I understand."
"Master, if this continues, it'll be hard to control him in the future," Lady Raksha said. The master laughed, "No, when the time comes, he won't even be himself. That Heaven-Cold Seed—I tampered with it quite a bit years ago. When it matures, that's the day he becomes my servant."
"Master, are you sure you can control him? I still feel uneasy," Lady Raksha worried.
Her master smiled, "Don't worry, it's fine. This world belongs to us—we are its rulers. I'm going to destroy everything and set new laws for this world."
"But we've lost so many strong ones in a row—we hardly have any left," Lady Raksha said anxiously.
"But you and Darkhand are still here. Plus Yang Han—just the three of you can dominate this world," the master said with a smile.
"But Darkhand hasn't come back yet," Lady Raksha worried, thinking about Darkhand's safety.
"Don't worry. I just contacted Soul Ghost. He said Darkhand isn't in any real danger—he just can't send news from where he is, so we can only wait patiently," the master explained.
Lady Raksha nodded. "Alright."
"Go do your work. For now, don't worry about him. Just wait for the Heaven-Cold Seed to mature," the master said.
Lady Raksha nodded. "Understood."
In the days that followed, Lady Raksha stopped troubling Yang Han. After not seeing any more World-End Society agents, Yang Han and the others started to feel uneasy.
"Boss, do you think they'll come back or not?" Jin Mao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, those who should come will come," Yang Han said calmly, though inside he wondered what the World-End Society was planning and if they really intended to leave him alone this time.
Things were peaceful here, but on the other side, chaos was erupting.
"Quick, contact Yang Han!" Bai Sha shouted. Xie Si looked at the fallen people in shock, "But you—"
"I'm fine! Go, hurry up! Only he can seal that gap," Bai Sha yelled.
Xie Si looked at the people, then turned and began contacting Yang Han. Yang Han, quietly in his own realm, suddenly saw several of Xie Si's disciples appear. He stepped out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master wants you to come—something urgent has happened," one of them said.
Yang Han knew something serious must have happened. Otherwise, the Ghost Array Sect wouldn't be so desperate to find him. He assigned tasks to Jin Mao and the others, then left.
When Yang Han arrived, he saw Xie Si at the Ghost Array Sect. Without hesitation, Xie Si led Yang Han to the teleportation array.
On the way, Yang Han asked, "What happened exactly?"
"A crack has appeared in the formation gap. Many people are acting as human shields, but they're falling one by one," Xie Si said anxiously.
Yang Han was shocked. "Wasn't it supposed to last thousands of years?"
"It's a long story. Last time, two experts came here. One entered and never returned—we suspect that person is still inside, and that's what triggered the chaos storm," Xie Si explained.
"Who were these experts?" Yang Han asked, curious.
As Xie Si spoke, he described the two people to Yang Han. Yang Han recognized the female—it was Lady Raksha.
