Chapter 346: Chapter 236 Chaos Wave

"They’re trapped in a loop."

Jiang Wuming noticed the oddity at a glance and then frowned, "No, this isn’t a simple spatial loop; it’s a time loop! Their movements are exactly the same each time!"

The members of the Evil Alliance performed identical actions, like a repeatedly looping film clip.

Such a time loop was the hardest to solve, as those trapped inside wouldn’t even know they were in a loop, endlessly repeating their initial actions, and unless external forces interfered, they’d never escape for eternity.

[The rules of space and time in this area have been distorted; intruders will be trapped in an endless loop. Finding this place means we’re not far from our destination. Go east for one hundred and five kilometers, where there’s a stable passage created by a 9th rank.

PS: Be careful, don’t step into it. I will give you a glimpse.]

In Zhou Yuan’s vision, a dangerous and conspicuous red area suddenly appeared, with the Eyes of Identification kindly displaying the boundaries of this chaotic space-time region, the closest edge being less than three hundred meters away from them.

He hurriedly pulled back, the further away from this ghostly place, the better.

After walking more than a hundred kilometers east, a vast void zone appeared in the dangerous red area, devoid of any warning red light coverage.

It was a deep canyon, more than a dozen kilometers wide, extending straight to the horizon’s end. All obstacles ahead had been brutally pulverized, as if an ancient giant python had crushed through here, tearing the earth and smashing through chaotic space-time, carving out a channel.

["This punch, twenty years of effort, can you withstand it?" — Ye Qingcang, Vice President of the Martial Arts Association.]

This was struck by Ye Qingcang?

Zhou Yuan was secretly shocked; he hadn’t expected that the old veteran of the Martial Arts Association would also come to Lingxu Dongtian.

Ye Qingcang’s name was well known in the Transcendent realm, hailed as the peak of martial arts, and recognized as "the best under heaven" in the Martial Arts Realm, with unfathomable strength, his martial arts reaching the pinnacle.

He was unequivocally an "old man," a figure of the third world war era, and one of the first extraordinary persons of this superhuman age!

Even during the war a hundred years ago, he had transformed into a mercenary, stirring up bloodshed on various national battlefields, personally killing countless extraordinary persons, earning the title of a legendary warrior emerging from numerous wars.

He had already been titled as "Martial Dao Immortal" back then, showcasing his astonishing martial arts achievements.

And forty-five years ago, in the 5-level abnormal event called [Asura Path], he killed the Asura King of the same tier with a single punch, thus establishing his peak status in martial arts.

In short, he was an unparalleled warrior.

"This strike is very strong." Ye Wushuang looked at the straight chasm ahead, giving a very high evaluation: "It can be comparable to the Martial Emperor back then; in the future, he might surpass him."

"Who struck it?" Jiang Wuming curiously looked at Zhou Yuan.

"Ye Qingcang."

"The Vice President of the Martial Arts Association? My god, such a high-level figure has also come... And why is it another ’Ye’?" Jiang Wuming complained, as they had encountered many experts with the surname "Ye" recently.

"After all, it’s a protagonist’s surname, normal, many great people." Zhou Yuan said.

He no longer wasted time, maneuvering the Shadow Demon Pool into the passage, rushing forward, finally emerging from the chaotic space-time land after seventy or eighty kilometers.

Ahead lay a gigantic skeleton, towering like an endless mountain range, majestic and vast.

Before these massive bones, the three of them appeared like ants, only able to see the tip of the iceberg, unable to comprehend the full scale of the skeleton without flying to a certain height.

[The remains of the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix, the large area in front is "Falling Phoenix Slope," full of lethal danger, avoid it.]

"So big..." Jiang Wuming looked up in awe.

It was indeed a spectacular sight ahead.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ponder.

Could this thing be put into his backpack?

"Probably not, it’s too big, exceeding the backpack’s item volume limit. Hmm... The store does sell shrinking lamps, after shrinking it could definitely be put in..."

Zhou Yuan began calculating the cost and benefits, finally giving up because the skeleton’s spirituality and essence had already been lost, making it worthless.

"Wait a minute, why hasn’t this corpse resurrected?" Jiang Wuming suddenly realized a problem.

The rules of the Corpse Immortal had already covered the entire secret realm; logically, all dead beings should have resurrected.

"It should be the ’field energy’ of the Chaotic Domain resisting the power of the Corpse Immortal." Zhou Yuan speculated, as the previously deceased in the domain hadn’t turned into Blood Corpses.

This was good news, no need to face three resurrected powerful Blood Corpses.

They continued forward, bypassing the so-called "Falling Phoenix Slope" which was indeed eerie, the immense killing intent palpable even from afar.

Zhou Yuan looked at it from a distance and was startled, seeing a figure sitting cross-legged on Falling Phoenix Slope, a mist of blood continuously exploding and healing on his body, maintaining a cycle.

The figure seemed to sense them, glanced in their direction, and quickly lost interest.

[Wang, from Omega, is honing himself using the killing intent of Falling Phoenix Slope.]

Zhou Yuan could only sigh; great figures were truly great, even such a deadly place could become a tool for their cultivation.

They quickly left, delving deeper, encountering several high-level extraordinary persons also using the dangerous grounds to cultivate. These people had no intention of vying for the Divine Fragment; the mysteries in these deadly areas were already enough for them to explore and practice.

Zhou Yuan and his companions went unobstructed, finally navigating through the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix’s remains, and in the distance ahead, another colossal skeleton appeared, comparable to gods and demons.

It was another quasi-immortal creature who perished alongside the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix!

[Fire Ancestor Qilin, an ancient beast possessing the power of the sun, life-and-death enemies with the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix, ultimately they both perished.

We’re almost there, but stay extremely vigilant, the Chaos Wave is coming!]

What was the Chaos Wave?

Zhou Yuan wondered as he saw nearly a hundred figures fleeing desperately from the distance, including some 9th rank experts!

Behind them, a storm wave of Chaos Qi was rapidly expanding, swelling!

"!!!"

Zhou Yuan was alarmed, instantly urging the Shadow Demon Pool to escape; if even the 9th rank had to run, staying would mean death!

"Chaos Wave? Don’t get caught in it!" Ye Wushuang rarely showed a stern and serious expression.

"What’s that thing?" Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked.

"A force that can distort everything!" Ye Wushuang said grimly.
