Root Cause of the Anomaly, Complete Lockdown
At this moment, after teleporting away, Fang Xiao did not immediately use the Five Divine Peaks.
Instead, he directly burrowed into the depths of the crust surrounding the Ruins of the Underworld that had yet to be devoured.
The instant his dharma manifestation grasped the Void Suppressing Sword, he had already communicated with Zhenkong.
According to Zhenkong, throughout the period in which it had suppressed the Ruins of the Underworld, nothing unusual had happened, nor had anyone come here to cause trouble.
But Fang Xiao felt that nothing could happen for no reason.
Since the problem did not lie with the Ruins of the Underworld itself, the change must have been caused by some external factor.
For instance, the previous eruption of the Ruins of the Underworld had been caused by the severe depletion of earth veins across the various domains.
And during this period, the greatest commotion throughout the Five Domains and Four Seas had undoubtedly been the tribulation fire of the Netherworld Sea.
Even the Extreme North Ice Plains had been refined by it, erased from existence.
Fang Xiao had every reason to believe that the renewed anomaly in the Ruins of the Underworld was inextricably tied to it.
Yet even with the Five Elements Evasion Technique assisting him, his descent gradually slowed.
"The closer I get to the depths underground, the denser the rock strata become and the harder they are to pass through. So this truly isn't a trait unique to the Netherworld Sea."
Clear qi rose, while turbid qi sank.
The deeper one went underground, the heavier the turbid qi became, and naturally the more solid it grew.
In such an environment, Space Force naturally sank as well, causing it to stagnate and become difficult to break through.
