"Mm, at least you're thoughtful."
Yi Tianxing nodded approvingly when he saw it. At the very least, Green Emperor's behavior now showed some acknowledgment of his master's presence—a significant improvement compared to before. Yi Tianxing didn't demand too much; as long as Green Emperor maintained this attitude going forward, he would be more than satisfied.
He took the belt into his hand and immediately sensed that it wasn't an ordinary belt — it was a spatial belt.
"It's actually a spatial belt. Long Aotian must have suffered a heavy loss this time. Looks like this haul will be worth looking forward to."Feeling the aura of the white jade belt, Yi Tianxing grew expectant.
This was a rare treasure—not only was it crafted exquisitely, but it also contained a considerable inner space. Compared to a standard dimensional pouch, it was much higher in quality and grade. The storage space was larger, and its practical use was far superior.
Its value far exceeded that of a dimensional pouch.
Without immediately inspecting the belt's contents, Yi Tianxing simply pointed a finger at the void.
A divine light swirled in the air, and an image appeared above Xuanhuang Town, clearly visible to everyone below.
"That's... the Heaven Prison!"
"It really is the Heaven Prison! The one the mayor personally constructed with a treasure."
"Look! There's someone inside. Isn't that Long Aotian? Didn't he escape? Why would he be inside the Heaven Prison? Could it be that the mayor had already predicted this?"
The townsfolk stared at the sky, stunned and disbelieving.
The projected image showed none other than the Heaven Prison—the dimensional prison hidden inside the Dimensional Cube. Room after room glimmered in the void, and in one of them, Long Aotian's figure was clearly visible.
He had attempted to escape using blood escape magic, but by sheer bad luck, had teleported himself straight into the Dimensional Cube's prison chambers. It was an extraordinary stroke of misfortune. His usually overwhelming fate seemed suppressed—rather than fleeing to freedom, he had charged headfirst into a trap.
Now, the townsfolk's curiosity shifted: could the Heaven Prison really hold a powerhouse like Long Aotian?
Not only were the visuals in the sky crystal clear, but even the sounds inside were transmitted perfectly. Yi Tianxing intentionally projected this to shock any other outsiders—hoping to crush their morale without a fight.
Inside the Prison
"What is this place? Didn't I activate a Blood Escape Talisman? That's a heaven and earth treasure—how did I end up here? Where is this?"
Long Aotian looked around in shock. The walls around him were gleaming white, completely enclosing him. It was a tightly sealed room. Yet, windows shimmering with mysterious light appeared in every direction—front, back, left, right, up, and down. Just a glance made it clear—this was no ordinary place.
"The Blood Escape Talisman is a heaven and earth treasure. Once activated, it can't be stopped. However, the distance it teleports you is random—you might end up tens of thousands of miles away or just a few miles. Sometimes, you could even get teleported into mysterious regions no one knows about," Dragon Spirit explained rapidly, clearly bewildered too.
Now that the Ten Thousand Worlds were fusing together, countless mysterious places were emerging—unknown, dangerous, full of opportunities.
"Good, very good! Clearly, the heavens favor me! I've escaped Xuanhuang Town only to be sent straight into a hidden treasure trove. This is fate delivering me a fortuitous encounter. Give me a little time, and I'll definitely become the pinnacle of the Eternal Continent. I am invincible!"
Long Aotian burst into laughter, overjoyed.
Such events had always brought him great fortune before—treasures and opportunities rained down on him wherever he went.
"This must be some secret realm or relic. Those windows must lead deeper inside—maybe even into treasure vaults!"He grew more excited by the second.
Without hesitation, he darted into one of the shimmering windows, moving through it as though passing through a tunnel.
Light flashed—and he appeared inside another sealed chamber.
It looked exactly the same.
Every feature of the room matched the previous one perfectly.
"What's going on? Did I not move at all? Or are there countless identical chambers?"Long Aotian frowned, confused.
It wasn't what he had imagined. He thought he'd be finding treasure vaults, sacred inheritances, rare artifacts. But so far, there was only... empty rooms.
Still, Long Aotian pressed forward, entering fully into the next room.
Trap Triggered
Swish!!
Just as he stepped fully inside, silver-white metallic threads suddenly burst from the ceiling, gleaming sharply as they spun wildly, forming a terrifying storm.
The threads spread outward at high speed, instantly blanketing the entire chamber.
Each strand was as fine as hair, but their sharpness was clearly deadly. Even from the air itself, one could hear the shrill sound of slicing—the threads were sharp enough to shear through space itself.
"Not good, it's a trap! Those aren't ordinary wires—it's Coiling Dragon Silk! Even true dragons would be shredded by it! Even though this isn't the top-grade Coiling Dragon Silk, its lethality is terrifying. Ordinary defenses won't stop it!"Dragon Spirit howled in alarm.
"Dammit! I'm supposed to be favored by heaven! Why am I hitting deadly traps instead of fortunes?!" Long Aotian cursed frantically, firing off talismans one after another:
Stone Wall
Diamond Shield
Bone Shield
Water Spirit Barrier
Layers of defensive spells manifested instantly.
But the Coiling Dragon Silk sliced through them like a hot knife through butter. The Stone Wall disintegrated as though made of tofu. The Diamond Shield shattered with hardly any resistance. The barriers were utterly useless.
Seeing this, Long Aotian was consumed by terror. Without hesitation, he bolted toward another window with all his strength.
Crack!!
He barely dove through a window in the nick of time.
But just as he thought he had escaped, he looked down—and his left arm had been severed, falling away in a spray of blood.
"So fast... so deadly! If I hadn't reacted instantly, it wouldn't have just been an arm—I would have been sliced into pieces!"His face turned deathly pale. Trembling, he retrieved his severed arm and slapped it against his wound. A talisman flashed—and his injury began rapidly healing.
He wasn't without means: besides the space belt, he also wore the Dragon Spirit Ring, a storage ring with an even larger internal space, filled with rare treasures.
"We've probably stumbled into an incredibly dangerous place. Every one of these chambers hides lethal traps designed to annihilate anyone inside. We must be extremely cautious—there's no telling what dangers lie ahead," Dragon Spirit warned grimly.
"Dammit! What's happening? Has heaven abandoned me? Why am I trapped in such a deadly place?" Long Aotian's heart was filled with despair.
His arrogance before had stemmed from being blessed by overwhelming fortune—everything he touched turned to gold. Luck seemed to follow him like a guardian angel.
Now, encountering disaster for the first time, a deep sense of helplessness consumed him.
Meanwhile, back in Xuanhuang Town, everyone had clearly seen the unfolding scene.
The townspeople and the outsiders alike were deeply shocked by what they witnessed inside the Heaven Prison.
No one had expected the prison to be so fearsome—that even a powerhouse like Long Aotian would lose an arm and be trapped inside, unable to escape.
Given that Long Aotian was one of the most powerful figures at the Divine Sea Realm level, the implications were chilling.
"The Heaven Prison is terrifying. Those Coiling Dragon Silk threads erupted so fast, it was like a storm. One flash of silver—and the entire room was covered. If you can't react instantly, you're dead. Incredible."Young Master Kongxu gripped his jade fan tightly, his face even paler.
Frankly, no one wanted to experience the Heaven Prison firsthand. Entering it and failing to escape would make you a laughingstock—if you survived at all.
The images of the Heaven Prison faded from the sky.
Yet a deep fear and awe of the prison remained ingrained in everyone's hearts.
Even without knowing what other traps might lie in wait, they could imagine—none would be any less deadly than the Coiling Dragon Silk.
