Chapter 178 Anomaly
"Look! There are nine blazing suns in the sky!"
Bing Ruoyan suddenly screamed.
Zhou Xianzong looked up suddenly and saw nine suns in the sky, each of them flashing with an eerie blue light.
It looked more like nine balls of flame, but they were so hot and dazzling that people mistook them for nine blazing suns.
"This is... the Azure Lotus Sacred Flame!"
Zhou Xianzong's voice was somewhat hoarse.
How could that be? Isn't the Azure Lotus Sacred Flame in the Holy Temple?
How did it end up here?
Click!
Suddenly, the ground beneath Zhou Xianzong's feet began to collapse and cave in.
The entire land collapsed downwards like quicksand, and countless cracks appeared in the ground, threatening to swallow and bury everyone.
"Hurry up."
Zhou Xianzong roared almost frantically, grabbed Bing Ruoyan's hand, and headed towards the still uncollapsed ground.
As destruction descended upon the ruins, countless people perished on the spot, swallowed by the bottomless abyss.
Even those who were lucky enough to survive headed at full speed toward the intact earth.
It's like a poison circle; when disaster strikes, no one dares to put themselves inside it, but instead frantically heads towards the safe zone.
If you are even a step too slow, you could very well find yourself in a place of no return.
Zhou Xianzong didn't know why this was happening, but he knew that his only chance of survival was to run for his life.
Everyone quickly headed towards the center of the ruins.
In the distance, you can see a huge arena, suspended in the air.
At a cursory glance, it appears to be thousands or even tens of thousands of meters in size.
To everyone's surprise, the arena remained unaffected by the ruins, showing no signs of collapse whatsoever.
If one can step onto it, one should be able to survive.
"Ah...help me!"
Just as Zhou Xianzong was leading Bing Ruoyan off to the arena, a voice that was all too familiar to him rang out.
He turned his head sharply and saw that the mountain peak not far away had collapsed, turning into countless falling rocks that instantly buried the people below.
One of them was none other than Luo Le'er.
Once completely submerged, even if one is lucky enough to escape, the abyss cracks will likely spread, making survival impossible.
"Le'er!"
Zhou Xianzong's heart tightened, and he roared.
But Luo Le'er couldn't respond to him at all and could only watch helplessly as she was buried by falling rocks.
"I'll send you to the ring; I'm going to save her."
Zhou Xianzong called out to Bing Ruoyan.
"Are you out of your mind? If you go there now, you'll most likely die there."
Bing Ruoyan said, word by word.
"No time, let's go."
Zhou Xianzong grabbed Bing Ruoyan's hand, his whole body roared with spiritual energy, and he used all his strength to create a gust of wind and waves, pushing Bing Ruoyan onto the arena.
He then turned and headed towards the falling rocks.
The moment he rushed in, thousands of falling rocks were shattered by Zhou Xianzong's spiritual energy.
The falling rocks couldn't get close to him at all.
"Le'er, where are you?"
Zhou Xianzong called out anxiously.
"Kenzong! I'm here!"
Luo Le'er's voice rang out, not far behind Zhou Xianzong.
Zhou Xianzong turned around, pushed his hands forward, and swept away all the falling rocks in front of him.
They were shocked to see Luo Le'er leaning against a huge rock, using it to cover herself.
Give me your hand.
Zhou Xianzong stretched out his hand and called out.
Without hesitation, Luo Le'er grabbed him, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Xianzong, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."
Luo Le'er's voice was unusually gentle.
"Follow me, and we can survive."
Zhou Xianzong's voice was firm as he gripped Luo Le'er's hand tightly.
For some reason, Luo Le'er felt unusually at peace at this moment.
Even if the world were to end and the apocalypse were to come, with Zhou Xianzong by her side, she would have nothing to fear.
Zhou Xianzong used his arm to pull Luo Le'er straight outside.
With his strength, he covered a distance of a hundred meters in an instant and sprinted towards the arena.
At this moment, many people have arrived on the arena, including Zhou Xianzong, Mo Wu, Xing Yueyue, Liang Liang, Ying Xi, Bing Ruoyan and others.
"Let's go up too."
Xiao Potian, carrying Luo Le'er, leaped into the air and rushed onto the arena.
Pfft!
Just then, a sharp sword suddenly pierced through Xiao Potian's body the instant he stepped forward.
"puff……"
Xiao Potian coughed up a mouthful of blood, severely injured, and collapsed helplessly.
"Xiao Potian".
Luo Le'er was stunned. She could feel the scalding blood spraying onto her body.
Liang Liang gripped his longsword, a sinister grin spreading across his face.
"Hey, you're just getting in the way, you should just die already."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xianzong's brow twitched.
"Holy crap, Xiao Potian is dead? The plot has gone wrong? Am I doomed?"
However, after Zhou Xianzong panicked, he waited for a long time but found that nothing had happened to him and everything else seemed normal.
"I'm alright? Does that mean the plot hasn't fallen apart? Or is Xiao Potian still alive?"
Zhou Xianzong pondered this to himself, but could not find an answer.
In the end, we can only take it one step at a time.
And so, the group of people began searching for treasures in the ruins.
Along the way, the group unexpectedly fell into a trap, forcing them to separate and each search for treasure...
...
Three years later.
Zhou Xianzong and Liang Liang emerged from the ruins, their hair disheveled and faces dirty.
The two were originally enemies, but after spending many years together in the ruins, helping each other and developing a deep bond.
"Return to the capital!"
Ultimately, Emperor Zhou Xianzong chose to return to the imperial city.
When they arrived at the capital, Emperor Zhou Xianzong noticed something amiss.
Emperor Zhou actually managed to gather all the top combat forces among the human race together.
This demeanor clearly indicates that they are preparing for a major undertaking.
"Father!"
Zhou Xianzong smiled slightly and stepped forward.
"Xianzong, you're back."
Emperor Zhou looked at Emperor Xianzong. Although the secrets of heaven were now blocked, Emperor Zhou still had his own way of finding out what Emperor Xianzong had done.
After all, this commotion was just too big.
"Is it possible to master the power of the laws of time?"
Emperor Zhou looked at Emperor Xianzong and asked.
Zhou Xianzong was not surprised.
Before he had done all this, Emperor Zhou might not have known what Emperor Zhou Xianzong was doing. But after Emperor Zhou Xianzong revealed everything, if Emperor Zhou still didn't know what Emperor Zhou Xianzong was doing, then he was seriously underestimating Emperor Zhou.
"I have disappointed my father."
Zhou Xianzong shook his head slightly, the meaning of which was quite clear.
That's just the way it is.
Zhou Xianzong has not yet successfully mastered the power of the laws of time.
It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.
After all, the power of the time law that Fang Zhuo controls is the power of the law of this world.
Even if Zhou Xianzong had the opportunity to deprive him of it, he could still gain insight into it himself.
I still can't do it.
Zhou Xianzong was fully aware of this.
Emperor Zhou was indeed somewhat surprised, since according to his speculation, Emperor Zhou Xianzong should have already mastered the power of the law of time.
Otherwise, what would be his purpose in going to the True Dragon Clan?
