Chapter 877: A Narrow Encounter
Thick, large cracks continuously appeared on the surface of the square, as if the ground made of spiritual materials was nothing more than paper.
The sky also showed signs of spatial rifts, resembling a shattered mirror that might break into countless pieces at any moment.
“Boom—”
In just a few breaths, this space showed signs of upheaval.
“This is bad!!!”
“Could it be that the ancient being sealed here is about to break free from its confinement?!”
In an instant, several people had this thought, and even the yuan ying true monarch couldn't help but change their expression drastically.
“No, it shouldn’t be.”
Facing the sudden change, Liu Yu remained calm, providing a negative answer in his mind.
Although he sensed a crisis with his spiritual perception when the change occurred, it wasn’t overwhelming.
If “that being” were alive and about to escape from here, the sense of danger in his spiritual perception would not be so slight.
After all, judging from the outcome of the “ancient end war,” that otherworldly being’s power far surpassed any cultivator in this realm; yuan ying cultivators were merely like ants before it.
With the might of the “supreme clarity demon refinement formation,” it would be impossible to seal that entity, so its true body was almost certainly not here.
As this sudden change occurred, everyone gave up on the thought of engaging in a battle to determine the last winner and instead scanned their surroundings with solemn expressions.
After all, for yuan ying cultivators, “spatial power” still posed a significant threat, not to mention the “power of annihilation” that permeated the void.
Divine transformation stage cultivators could roam freely in space, but even they would retreat three steps when faced with the “power of annihilation”; otherwise, their Primordial Spirit could be destroyed.
With uncertain threats looming outside, and the exploration of the legacy dwelling already having yielded immense profits, even the blood sea demon lord lost the desire to fight.
“What is this…”
Watching the continuously shattering sky and ground, everyone's expressions changed slightly as they looked around.
As they surveyed the area, they saw that everything within the reach of their spiritual consciousness was rapidly becoming a wreck, showing signs of disintegration at a rapid pace.
Like puppets that had been played with until broken, they were about to meet their end, having exceeded the limits of what they could bear.
“It’s clear.”
“The four treasures are the core of the 'supreme clarity demon refinement formation.' Now that the treasures have been taken away, the 'supreme clarity demon refinement formation' can no longer be maintained and is no longer part of the seal.”
“This space existed because of the seal; since the 'supreme clarity demon refinement formation' has been broken, it naturally loses its purpose for existence.”
More than twenty miles away, the heavenly lotus true monarch, who was proficient in formations, looked around and suddenly realized.
Even if there was a high probability that “that being” was not sealed here, a look of trepidation crossed her face.
After all, the might of such an existence was unimaginable even to yuan ying cultivators; perhaps with just a glance, they would be reduced to ash.
“The effectiveness of the 'supreme clarity demon refinement formation' primarily lies in suppressing and sealing that being, not in attack or defense, and most of its power is focused on sealing.”
“If that’s the case, we owe our successful acquisition of treasures to that being.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu spoke lightly.
As he said this, a sense of relief washed over him.
Faced with what might be an existence at the harmony of the dao realm, even spiritual treasures were no longer of much concern; even using the sword of ruin would not change the outcome.
At the moment of their encounter, the result had already been predetermined.
