Chapter 297 Ajiu opens his eyes: Don’t panic, I’ll show you the way
“Crack…Crack…”
The teeth-grinding sound of breaking came from all directions.
The three were horrified to find that the enormous floating island beneath their feet was actually beginning to collapse from the edge.
Large chunks of charred earth and dead trees kept peeling off and falling into the bizarre spatial turbulence below, disappearing without even a sound.
Even the "statues" in the ruins that had been frozen in time for thousands of years shattered in the violent shaking, turning into handfuls of gray-white powder, and returning to nothingness along with the collapsing ground.
"It's over, it's over. It's really over now." Chu Xuanyi's face turned green. "This damn place is going to collapse. We're going to fall down."
Before he finished speaking, the central area where they were standing emitted a loud noise as if it could not bear the weight. A huge crack spread from under the altar and extended rapidly towards their feet.
"pay close attention."
Xiao Yu growled, holding Ajiu tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed the back of Chu Xuanyi's collar and lifted him up.
The next second, the last foothold under their feet completely collapsed.
The feeling of weightlessness instantly enveloped the three of them, and they were once again thrown into the chaotic space crack.
Countless space fragments were swept up by the violent energy, forming a huge debris storm, and the deadly time fog also rushed towards their energy core from all directions.
"Xuan Guang protects the body."
Chu Xuanyiren opened the defensive shield again, but this time, the Xuanmen formation that he was proud of failed.
The light shield constructed by magic power had just taken shape when it was torn and deformed by an invisible twisting force. Not to mention defense, it couldn't even maintain its basic shape. It flickered a few times and then completely collapsed.
"No," Chu Xuanyi's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "The laws here are completely messed up. My formation can't be stable here at all."
Xiao Yu also encountered the same problem. He swung his sword backhand, and a domineering sword energy whizzed out, aiming at a huge rock blocking the way in front.
After flying less than three meters, the sword energy turned a strange corner, brushed past the edge of the boulder, and finally dissipated in the distorted light and shadow in the distance.
"The sword energy has been distorted." Xiao Yu's eyes darkened.
In this land of complete chaos, the two powers they relied on most, Xuanmen magic and martial arts qi, actually lost their effect at the same time.
This is undoubtedly fatal.
Seeing that a mountain-sized piece of space debris was about to hit them, and the gray mist of time behind them was already approaching, the shadow of death loomed over them like never before.
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Xuanyi's face. He felt that he really had no way to escape this time.
At this critical moment, Ajiu, who had been held tightly in Xiao Yu's arms, suddenly moved.
She gently pushed Xiao Yu's arm away, broke free from his embrace, and floated in the center of the chaotic storm.
She closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, there was no trace of human emotion in those beautiful purple eyes.
At this moment, she was no longer the little girl Ajiu who needed to be protected.
But he is the keeper of the Tianshu Tomb who has the blood of divine pupils and can see through the origin of all things.
In her vision, the whole world changed again.
Those violent space fragments and those deadly time fogs turned into clear energy tracks and law veins in her eyes.
"Brother Xiong Xiong."
"Three steps to the left, cut the green floating stone with your sword."
Xiao Yu did not hesitate at all. He moved and appeared precisely at the location Ah Jiu said, and swung the sword in his hand again.
"clang."
With a crisp sound, the green pumice stone shattered.
A strange scene happened. As the pumice stone shattered, the invisible twisting force around the three people suddenly stagnated.
"Sir," Ah Jiu's voice sounded again, "The energy of the formation is tilted to the right and rear, condensing into a shield to block the transparent ripples."
Chu Xuanyi was still stunned by the scene just now. After hearing the order, he instinctively did as he was told. He mobilized all his magic power and condensed a small golden shield behind him on the right.
Just as the shield was formed, a transparent space ripple that was almost invisible to the naked eye cut over silently and hit the shield, making a heart-pounding annihilation sound.
Chu Xuanyi broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't noticed the existence of the ripple at all. If it weren't for Ajiu's reminder, he would probably have been cut in half by now.
"This girl..." He looked at Ah Jiu, who was floating in the center, in horror. "She can directly see the flow of the laws."
"Follow me." Ajiu's voice continued without any pause, and the command continued.
"Brother Xiongxiong, take seven steps forward and strike the top of the third gray stone on your right with the hilt of your sword."
"Sir, shrink your magic power and form a three-foot spherical shield around us, no more, no less."
"Turn left, there's a time fault below, fly up five feet."
Guided by Ajiu's divine eyes, the three of them safely passed through the chaotic storm for an unknown amount of time.
When Chu Xuanyi felt that the magic power in his body was about to be drained out and the shield began to become shaky, Ajiu's cold voice finally sounded again.
"arrive."
As she finished speaking, the divine light in her eyes slowly faded, returning to her usual clear appearance, and her body swayed slightly. It was obvious that this long period of insight into the origin of the laws had taken a huge toll on her.
Xiao Yu quickly took her into his arms again and let her lean on his strong chest.
"Are you okay?" he asked in a low voice.
Ajiu shook his head and pointed his finger forward.
"Brother Xiong Xiong, look."
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi looked up at the same time.
In the endless void ahead, a magnificent bronze giant was quietly floating there.
Crafted entirely from bronze, its surface is covered with the mottled marks of time and countless mysterious and complex star patterns. The entire building resembles an inverted mountain or a giant blooming lotus, with countless stacked platforms and corridors surrounding a towering spire at its center.
Around it, space is no longer chaotic and time is no longer distorted, as if there is a powerful force that firmly suppresses everything within a hundred miles of it, forming an absolutely stable and safe area.
This is the final destination they have been searching for with great difficulty.
Tianshu Observatory.
"Oh my god," Chu Xuanyi stared with his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg, "So this thing looks like this, this... this is too exaggerated."
In all the classics he had read, the description of the observatory was only the simple words "hanging above the nine heavens". But after seeing it with his own eyes, he found that any language seemed pale and powerless in the face of such a miracle.
This is something that cannot be built by human power at all; it is a miracle.
The joy of surviving the disaster and the shock of witnessing a miracle with his own eyes made Chu Xuanyi so excited that he almost cried.
