Chapter 0554

By now.

Even if the Third Elder was unwilling, he had to admit one fact—

During the three hundred years he slept, the outside world... changed!

It is likely that long before the revival of heaven and earth, there were already many powerful figures in the outside world, even approaching the ancient Lingyun era. The subsequent revival of heaven and earth further propelled all of this to a glorious peak.

This is just a Zhihu city, built outside Tanggu, in such a remote and desolate place.

One can only imagine how terrifying those truly powerful individuals located at the heart of the continent must be!

"But I must see... the master of this city!"

The Third Elder's gaze was solemn, as if he had made up his mind.

He suddenly revealed his true form as the Crimson Crow, and a terrifying radiance appeared behind his head, like a fire deity. In the instant it tore through the sky, it stirred up endless waves of scorching heat.

His action caused a stir among the people in the city below.

"Look at that guy—"

"That guy headed towards the sect leader's direction!"

"Quickly, quickly, construction team, change the scene immediately! The sect leader still has many illusion textures; replace them with real buildings right away!"

"The random team, follow them! Don't give yourself away; the random people appearing in that area should be stronger than before!"

The gasps of surprise were completely muffled by an imperceptible spatial fluctuation, preventing them from reaching the ears of the Third Elder of Chiwu.

"Everyone else, don't get excited. The Sect Leader's wife is broadcasting this for us, and everyone can see it!"

"Be quiet, watch the broadcast quietly, and don't chat!"

The small commotion quickly subsided.

Only countless invisible gazes were cast into the distance, watching the fiery, god-like figure head straight for the city's central area.

"This guy is incredibly strong... at least equivalent to a thousand Mo Yuanlongs!"

The disciples of Qianqiu Valley couldn't help but exclaim in quiet amazement.

This was the first time in their lives they had ever encountered such a powerful being.

Therefore, the disciples of Qianqiu Valley, after their busy work, almost instinctively began to make comparisons.

"More than that, I think it's at least comparable to 2,333 Mo Yuanlongs!"

"Why such a strange number?"

"I don't know either, maybe this is the connection between heaven and man!"

Compared to Mo Yuanlong, who once drove Qianqiu Valley to the brink of destruction, the Third Elder of the Chiwu Clan was far more powerful. Even though their leader had promised that everything was under control, many people still felt a sense of unease.

Back then, their Sect Leader Feng's strength was only slightly better than Mo Yuanlong's.

It's only been a little over a year now, can he handle such a formidable enemy?

Unbeknownst to them, the disciples of Qianqiu Valley once again became alert.

Just like a year ago when Mo Yuanlong pressed his attack.

However, unlike the initial anxiety...

This time, they knew the outcome almost instantly.

Before the Third Elder, endless divine light suddenly descended from the sky, thicker and heavier than the divine peak of Mount Tai. In the dreamlike and hazy atmosphere, it was as if another world was pressing down!

"One must bow when meeting the emperor."

A voice as indifferent as still water came from within the divine light.

"Emperor? Hmph! You want me to worship you? Aren't you afraid..."

The Third Elder of Chiwu's face grew increasingly grim. He immediately snorted coldly and unleashed his True Spirit Realm cultivation without reservation, like a sun falling from the sky, crashing into the very center of the city, into the palace that was half-hidden in the clouds!

However, his aura had barely spread outwards for a moment when it collided with an invisible barrier.

Not only that, but the incredibly heavy divine light pressed down from the clouds, irresistible and unstoppable, directly striking the Third Elder.

“What… ah—”

Caught off guard, the Third Elder's wings suddenly rose up, but his body sank to the ground with a thud. The flames around him dimmed, and he plummeted to the ground!

The Third Elder let out a low growl of disbelief.

He exerted all his strength, his magical power erupting like a raging wave. The power bestowed upon him by the several Chiwu elders also lit up one after another at this moment, barely managing to withstand that terrifying pressure.

"Just the aura emanating from it... almost overwhelmed me?!"

The Third Elder, who was almost falling to the ground, looked up at the sky with a grim expression, muttering in disbelief, "Just what level of terrifying existence is this..."

At this point, he even considered turning around and leaving!

But before that, the Third Elder's vision suddenly blurred as the clouds that had obscured the sky slowly split open before his eyes and receded toward the sides of the horizon.

A wide staircase descends slowly from the heavens, as if laid out from the end of time and space, one step after another, exuding the vicissitudes of ancient times, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

"What...what is this?!"

The moment the celestial ladder appeared, the oppressive force of the divine light in mid-air finally reached its peak.

The Third Elder's face flushed red involuntarily. His body, which had been stabilized, could no longer bear it and slowly sank to the ground once again.

He had assumed the master of this magnificent city was powerful, but he never expected...

The other party didn't even show their face; they simply used their overwhelming aura to render him powerless to resist.

"No... even in the ancient Lingyun Kingdom, there were only a handful of such powerful individuals—"

At one point, the Third Elder's eyes widened in anger, and he let out a hoarse shout.

The power bestowed upon him by the other Chiwu elders exploded simultaneously, transforming into boundless, scorching heat that suddenly poured into the Third Elder's body.

"I don't believe it!"

"Even with all seven of us combined, we couldn't see your true face—"

Crackling!

In that instant, a great sun path soared into the sky, burning like a fiery dragon. It was neither a supernatural power nor any secret technique, but the purest collision of the great paths!

With this strike, mountains will crumble and melt, and oceans will turn into wasteland!

Bang, bang, bang—

Almost at the same time, a series of melodious bell tolls came from the end of the Heavenly Ladder, one high and one low, carrying an indescribable meaning, as if filled with endless sorrow and longing, and then rippled outwards like bell waves.

boo.

That Sun Avenue shattered silently.

"This...no..."

The Third Elder's eyes widened, but his body seemed to have lost control, and he floated lightly backward.

His all-out attack was easily neutralized.

No matter how unbelievable this result may seem...

He had no choice but to believe it.

……

Chapter 0555

The Third Elder's body was still falling in mid-air.

But his thoughts had already drifted away.

"Zhihu City..."

The name lingered in his mind.

Without a doubt, he lost.

Moreover, they suffered a crushing defeat, failing to even see the master of Zhihu City. Despite exhausting the power bestowed upon them by the elders, they were still easily suppressed by the melodious bell tolling.

A single bell can determine a thousand autumns!

For no apparent reason, the Third Elder had this thought pop into his mind.

"I'm still far, far away from being able to challenge such a being..."

As the heavenly ladder in the clouds receded further and further away, the Third Elder felt a sense of relief.

The opponent clearly possessed such formidable strength that he could have easily crushed him. However, despite his repeated provocations, the Lord of Zhihu City remained lenient, merely knocking him down from the sky without taking his life!

If you were in his shoes, he absolutely couldn't do it!

"I... give in."

The Third Elder took a deep breath.
