As Qin Chen left this place, the entire Ancient Universe Tower seemed to be on the verge of a storm.
Boom! Not long after Qin Chen's departure, powerful auras swept in, and strong experts quickly arrived.
The first to arrive was a figure clad in gray robes, whose cold gaze scanned the surroundings as soon as he landed. If Qin Chen were here, he would immediately recognize this person as the soon-to-be Heaven Venerable who had once welcomed him, one of the four vice hall masters.
After the arrival of the soon-to-be Heaven Venerable, terrifying auras continuously descended from the void.
The Ancient Craftsman Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry, the Left Eye Venerable, the Supreme Weapon Venerable... the five half-step vice hall master venerables rushed here at the fastest speed, all of them top-tier experts.
Following the five serving vice hall masters, numerous top elders also arrived, including half-step Heaven Venerable elders and many Peak Earth Venerable experts. Their auras shook the heavens and earth, causing the depths of the third layer to surge with fierce killing intent.
A series of auras penetrated through the heavens and earth, triggering the surrounding rules of power to explode continuously.
Previously, the Blade Perception Venerable had been severely injured and suppressed here.
As a result, this place had already experienced chaotic Dao auras and rule powers, and the arrival of these strong experts further stirred this space like turbulent waves, creating utter chaos.
"Everyone be careful, don't damage the situation here."
Upon the arrival of the five serving vice hall masters, just a glance caused their expressions to change drastically, and they quickly shouted in alarm.
They could all tell that this place had just undergone a fierce battle.
Moreover, the level of the battle was extraordinarily terrifying, definitely comparable to their own level, which immediately put them on high alert.
How could there be a battle between top-tier experts within the Ancient Universe Tower, especially involving Heaven Venerable level vice hall masters? What exactly had happened?
The five Heaven Venerables remained silent.
Each one wore a grave expression.
As vice hall masters, they were all well aware that battles were strictly prohibited within the Ancient Universe Tower. If a life-and-death battle broke out and a vice hall master was involved without just cause, severe punishment would be meted out by the venerable masters; at best, they would face reprimands or confinement, and at worst, they could lose their vice hall master status.
This was an ironclad rule within the Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm.
The Ancient Universe Tower, the Treasury Hall, the Heaven-Piercing Extreme Fire Pillar, and the Land of Inheritance.
These four locations were the core of the Heavenly Work, where even vice hall masters could not act recklessly. Even if a massive fight occurred on Artifact God Island, destroying countless palaces, it would not be as serious as fighting in these four places.
But now, it was clear that this location had just experienced a battle at the Heaven Venerable level, leaving the Ancient Craftsman Venerable and the others astounded, their faces pale, and their hearts heavy.
Something had happened.
A major incident had occurred.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to take action here.
The Ancient Craftsman Venerable waved his hand, and a surge of light enveloped this area, preventing many elders from entering, fearing they would disturb the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the soon-to-be Heaven Venerable and other venerables swiftly arrived at this battleground and began to perceive the situation carefully.
In the Ancient Universe Tower, the killing intent was surging.
Here, deep within the third layer of the Ancient Universe Tower, where the killing intent was the densest, terrifying auras continuously surged, obscuring everyone's perception.
However, as Heaven Venerable experts, the Ancient Craftsman Venerable and others were quite familiar with the Ancient Universe Tower and still detected some clues.
