Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 957 Ye Xuan's Decision

Screams of terror were heard from behind, and the breath of several people disappeared in a few breaths.

They are all at the Martial Emperor level, and their escape speed is not as fast as that of the Saints, and they are directly swallowed up by the power of the Golden Flame Time Law.

Ye Xuan and his companions continued to fly upwards without paying any attention, but many other martial artists could not help but look back, and then they were all frightened out of their wits, even a few great saints felt their scalps tingling and were terrified!

No one dares to be greedy now. The law of time is disordered, and the terror is definitely not something that ordinary saints can resist. Now there is no sign of the Heavenly Demon Couple, and I am afraid that their end is not good. After realizing this, who dares to be greedy for the world instruments below?
There was endless panic, and everyone was scrambling to escape like crazy. At the same time, they also regretted very much why they went down. Wouldn't it have been better for them to listen to Ye Xuan and stay there or just leave?

In the chaos, Ye Xuan and Bai Yinglan flew upwards without paying attention. In a moment, they had surpassed the slowest flying martial artists. When they were about to reach the cave entrance, screams began to be heard from behind. Those saints who were too slow were also caught up by the erupting and spreading "Golden Flame". Their fate was self-evident.

The screams behind him made everyone more panicked. Many people even used secret escape techniques with great side effects. A man in the seventh level of the Great Saint Realm relied on a secret explosive technique with extraordinary effects and became one of the few people escaping in the front. However, when he was congratulating himself for escaping fast enough, the void in front of him suddenly twisted slightly, and then a long black crack appeared out of thin air...

This Great Saint Realm martial artist had never expected such a sudden change, and he didn't even have a chance to react before he crashed right into the several-inch-wide crack.

"Puff"... the whole person was split into two halves.

There was no chance for the soul to escape and it died instantly.

The power of the space cracks formed by heaven and earth is far beyond that of the space cracks cast by space martial artists.

For example, when using the same martial art, the power displayed by a Martial Emperor is definitely not as powerful and terrifying as that displayed by a Saint.

This sudden change made all the martial artists stunned for a moment, and then they were horrified. Someone screamed, "Space crack! It's a space crack! Oh no! This little world is going to collapse!"

"Space crack?" Ye Xuan's pupils and soul moved, and he carefully paid attention to his surroundings, guarding against the sudden appearance of space cracks.

Bai Yinglan's face darkened, and he said, "The small world collapsed faster than I thought! Ye Xuan, don't use space teleportation or teleportation, otherwise, you will easily be drawn into the space cracks or hit them!"

Ye Xuan nodded. The threat posed by the space crack was not too great for him. What worried him was the space collapse. With his current combat power, unless he used the Holy Shield, he would surely die if he was caught in the space collapse!
With the threat of space cracks, everyone was more careful and nervous when flying. Fortunately, the collapse of the small world had just begun, and there were not many space cracks. Except for the unlucky Great Sage at the beginning, no one died because of them. But while rushing out of the giant pit, nearly ten people were swallowed up by the time disorder and lost their lives.

Finally, the remaining martial artists rushed out of the tiankeng and returned to the surface, but their mood did not improve at all, because after rushing up, they realized that the situation outside was even worse than they had imagined...

In the entire small world, the heaven and earth were shaking. The original sky was now blurred, hazy, and turbid, giving people a depressing feeling that it would collapse at any time. There were distortions everywhere between heaven and earth, and space cracks of different sizes flashed from time to time, making people tremble with fear.

Everyone knew which direction the 'exit' was, so they flew there immediately after they came up. Behind them, a large amount of golden flames emerged from the huge pit, as if endless, and quickly spread in all directions. As the golden flames spread, the small world shook more and more violently.

"It's over... We can't escape... None of us can escape!!"

"Ah!!! We are all going to die here!!"

"I don't want to die yet, my master's wife is still waiting for me!!"

Finally, several martial artists could not bear the tremendous pressure and collapsed. They roared hysterically, and then were engulfed by the "golden flames" that rolled over from behind.

Everyone was terrified and felt they could hardly breathe. Many people had despair in their eyes, but they were ultimately unwilling to give up the slim chance of survival and still gritted their teeth and desperately rushed forward.

"Brother, I, we...can't escape?" Tie Dan turned around and looked at the martial artists being swallowed up by the power of the law of time. With a pale face, he asked Tie Ke beside him.

Tie Ke's face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! We can definitely escape!"

Having said that, Tie Ke himself actually didn't believe this sentence. He was just using it to suppress the panic in his heart because he was afraid that if he didn't "comfort" himself in this way, he might collapse in despair at any time.

"..."

Ye Xuan's face was extremely cold and handsome. He looked back at the golden flame that was getting closer and closer, then looked at the space around him that was on the verge of collapse. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he turned to look at Bai Yinglan, only to see that the other party was also looking at him. The two people's eyes were surprisingly similar, as if they were thinking of the same thing.

"Ye...Ye Xuan, what are you going to do?!"

Somehow, Ying Tianzhu's heart suddenly tightened for no reason. She seemed to sense something wrong from Ye Xuan's eyes, and subconsciously held his right hand even tighter.

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at Ying Tianzhu. His expression became surprisingly calm at this moment. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine..."

After saying this, which made everyone feel a little puzzled, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand and caressed Ying Tianzhu's beautiful cheek. With endless tenderness in his eyes, he slowly said, "I said that I would always protect you in the future, but I have to leave for a while now..."

As soon as he said this, everyone realized that something was wrong. Bing Yu was shocked and said, "Ye Xuan! What are you talking about?! What are you going to do?!"

Ye Xuan didn't have time to answer Bingyu. He turned to look at Bai Yinglan and said, "I'll leave them... to you."

After saying that, before Ying Tianzhu and the others could react, Ye Xuan flashed away from the team, flew out, and rushed towards... the endless golden flames rolling behind them! !

Ying Tianzhu had been holding onto one of Ye Xuan's hands tightly, but how could she hold him back when Ye Xuan wanted to leave? When she realized that her hands were empty, Ye Xuan had already disappeared from her sight. She turned around and saw that he had flown hundreds of feet away.

"No...Ye Xuan!!" Ying Tianzhu instantly understood Ye Xuan's intention. Endless fear and despair appeared in her beautiful eyes. She turned around and wanted to chase after Ye Xuan.

However, before she could move, a gentle force bound her whole body, making her unable to break free and unable to chase after him as she wished. Turning around, she saw that Bai Yinglan had flown to the front at some point and was using the power of laws to protect everyone on behalf of Ye Xuan. It was Bai Yinglan who stopped her.

With Bai Yinglan's powerful and unfathomable cultivation, Ying Tianzhu was simply unable to break free from her restraints.

Bai Yinglan's eyes were filled with helplessness. She looked at Ying Tianzhu, Bingyu and the others and said slowly, "Don't let Ye Xuan down. Chasing him now will only lead to death, and may even implicate Ye Xuan. Let's go quickly. With Ye Xuan holding back the law of time, we should have a chance to reach the exit..."

Yes, the purpose of Ye Xuan's sudden "leaving the team" was to risk his life to delay the spread of the "Golden Flame of Time", and at the same time delay the collapse of the small world, so as to buy more time for everyone to escape! !
If there was a choice, Ye Xuan would definitely not choose this worst option, because... there was no other choice!!
Only he and Bai Yinglan knew clearly that according to the previous situation, it was impossible for them to escape to the "exit". Once they were caught up by the golden flames of time, the power of the law could indeed temporarily save their lives, and it was not impossible to even hold on to the exit in the golden flames, but the premise was... they could only save themselves! !

If you were really in the thick of the power of the law, you wouldn't have the energy to care about others! !

Either escape alone, or risk death to control the time disorder and buy a chance for others - Ye Xuan and Bai Yinglan saw through these two choices basically at the same time.

Bai Yinglan has tried to collect the Time Moon Wheel, but because her Law of Force cannot suppress the Law of Time at all, she has no chance of suppressing the outbreak of the Law of Time even if she returns.

But Ye Xuan and Bai Yinglan are different. Although Bai Yinglan doesn't know that Ye Xuan also has the law of time, he knows that Ye Xuan is a space martial artist. The law of space is before the law of force on the list of laws of heaven and earth, and is not much weaker than the law of time!

Therefore, Ye Xuan chose to use his own life as a bet to fight for the chance of survival for the others...

From Bai Yinglan's words, Ying Tianzhu, Bingyu and the others understood Ye Xuan's intention. The two members of the Bai family and the Tie brothers were all shocked and sincerely admired. If they were in Ye Xuan's shoes, they would not have the courage to make such a sacrifice.

Bingyu's eyes were filled with regret and reluctance. She regretted asking Ye Xuan to help her find the Void God Grass and come to the Falling Phoenix Valley. She was unwilling to accept that she was too weak to do anything. She looked at Ye Xuan who rushed into the Golden Flame Sea and said, "Ye Xuan!! You must not die!!"

In everyone's sight, Ye Xuan's figure continued to rush forward without any pause, and was almost completely swallowed up by the force of time distortion.

Ying Tianzhu had already sobbed, the peerless beauty was heartbroken, tears streaming from her beautiful eyes. She clenched her hands tightly, her slender jade nails digging into the flesh and bleeding without her noticing. She tried hard not to cry out, as if she had used up all her strength before she opened her mouth and trembled, "Ye Xuan, I'll wait for you to come back..."

Her voice was not loud, but it was obvious that Ye Xuan's figure in the distance paused slightly. He did not turn back, but raised his right hand and shook it, as if to say: "I know, don't worry, I will be back..."

Then, Ye Xuan's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, like a stone thrown into the sea, without causing any ripples.

Ying Tianzhu regretted it very much. If he had known this would happen, he would have satisfied Ye Xuan that day.

Bai Yinglan retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, be careful, I'm going to speed up!"
