Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1775 Restriction Activated
Now that General Iron Claw has retreated, there is no need for Zhou Xu to continue possessing the body. He controls his soul body to fly directly out of the mage's body.

After he left, the monk's body went limp and he fainted on the spot.

Zhou Xu ignored him. He had already confirmed that the brief possession had not caused any harm; the other party had simply passed out from overload.

Right now, it's more important to test the restrictions.

With this in mind, Zhou Xu controlled his soul body to quickly fly into the sky to ensure his safety.

Zhou Xu's current strength is at the Gold Three-Star level of the Nascent Soul Realm. With years of continuous cultivation, his soul body is no longer in a nearly transparent state, but has taken on a semi-solid form.

Coupled with what had just happened, the Zhou soldiers on the ship quickly noticed his presence.

"Your Majesty! It was Your Majesty who saved us!!"

The soldier who shouted these words had an undisguised excitement in his voice.

Then, someone started chanting "Long live the Emperor!" on the ship, creating a surprisingly powerful momentum that boosted morale.

For a time, the mage who had fainted after being briefly possessed by Zhou Xu became the envy of many.

Zhou Xu, who was involved in the incident, didn't seem to have many thoughts about it.

All attention was focused on the restrictions.

After he repaired and improved the restriction covering the Barton Islands, he can now skillfully control it.

The next second, the restriction was triggered, and dark clouds immediately filled the surrounding sea area, followed by a torrential downpour.

Within the clouds, a black dragon poked its head out, revealing its enormous body! Surrounding Zhou Xu, who stood in mid-air, and with the radiance emanating from his soul body, he truly resembled a god descending to earth at this moment!
Let alone the ordinary soldiers, even Jabbar was stunned as he looked up at this absolutely shocking scene, muttering to himself...

"A difference of one major realm, it feels like even the dimension has changed?"

The terrifying black dragon caused Jabbar to misunderstand that most of it was Zhou Xu taking advantage of, and strictly speaking, it couldn't be considered a manifestation of his own strength.

At the same time, beneath the sea, General Iron Claw, whose protective shield had been shattered by Zhou Xu's lightning bolt, immediately found Ao Ze and grabbed him, running away without saying a word.

"Your Highness, something's wrong! We need to retreat immediately!"

Even trying was unnecessary; years of accumulated experience made General Iron Claw very clear about when to fight and when to flee.

"Emergency evacuation! Emergency evacuation!!"

He didn't even have time to care about his own troops, so these two shouts were more than enough. Compared to his troops, he had to prioritize ensuring Ao Ze's safety.

Pulling Ao Ze along, General Tie Ao made no attempt to conserve his energy, unleashing his fastest speed in an effort to leave the area as quickly as possible.

"General Iron Claw, what's going on? Why are we retreating?"

Compared to the clear-headed General Iron Claw, Ao Ze, who was being dragged along by General Iron Claw in the ocean current, didn't even know what was happening.

In his mind, they clearly had the upper hand.

Based on the previous momentum, it should be the other side that's running away!
"No time to explain, let's run!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Ao Ze keenly sensed that a powerful energy was rapidly brewing in the world.

General Tie'ao certainly noticed it too, but he didn't even have time to glance at it, his mind only focused on escaping! But Ao Ze clearly didn't have that awareness, or rather, he hadn't truly realized the seriousness of the problem, and subconsciously glanced in that direction.

And it was at this glance that Ao Ze was completely stunned. Through the sea, the majestic black dragon came directly into his eyes.

For a moment, Ao Ze couldn't even control his body from trembling.

"That was... our ancestor?"

At the same time, in mid-air, Zhou Xu pointed his sword.

"go with!"

In an instant, the black dragon that was circling around him let out a roar, and its huge body descended from the sky and plunged into the sea below.

"Stop looking, Prince! He's coming for us!!"

Even without looking, General Iron Claw could guess what was going on.

Why not run for your life at a time like this? Are you just asking for trouble?

In contrast, General Iron Claw didn't even turn his head once the whole way, only regretting that he hadn't run fast enough, because he knew very well that being too curious could really lead to death!

The Black Dragon's Restriction in the Barton Islands can be roughly divided into two models.

One is the autonomous defense mode. As long as an enemy intrudes and a certain condition is triggered, the restriction will be automatically activated, condensing a black dragon to drive away or even annihilate the enemy.

The other is the remote control mode, which involves manually activating the restriction and then controlling the black dragon to take action. During this process, the controller can directly share the black dragon's vision.

Zhou Xu now belongs to the latter category.

The Black Dragon of Restriction is formed by drawing natural energy from the area covered by the restriction, without requiring Zhou Xu's own mana.

However, controlling the Black Dragon's actions throughout the entire process will still require a certain amount of effort.

Of course, compared to the power it displayed, that little bit of consumption was basically insignificant in Zhou Xu's eyes.

This black dragon was like a super-enhanced version of a water snake. The moment it rushed into the sea, it was like a dragon swimming into the ocean, displaying astonishing speed.

Using the black dragon as a medium, Zhou Xu's senses quickly spread out and immediately locked onto General Tie'ao, who was dragging Ao Ze away to escape.

[Another peak Vajra Realm expert has joined the ranks. It seems the North Sea Dragon Palace is no ordinary place.]

There was no time to think about it. Zhou Xu didn't even know when those two had started to flee, but now they were almost out of the waters of their Great Zhou Dynasty, which surprised him greatly.

No matter how strong a restriction is, it cannot escape one limitation: once the target leaves the coverage area, it is impossible to continue the pursuit.

After quickly estimating the distance, it seemed unlikely that they could catch up.

Upon realizing this, the black dragon of the restriction opened its mouth.

In an instant, gusts of black wind howled out! Accompanied by the turbulent sea current, the two forces quickly merged into one, transforming into an even more terrifying high-pressure water cannon that directly blasted towards Ao Ze and General Tie Ao, who were fleeing for their lives!

"Your Highness, be careful!!"

The raging sea current sweeping in from behind, seemingly carrying the force of a landslide and tsunami, caused General Iron Claw's expression to change drastically. He grabbed Ao Ze and dragged him behind him. The moment his own true energy shield reformed, he was completely swallowed up by the roaring, dark sea current!
