The point of light went out too quickly.
A moment before, it had radiated powerful law fluctuations on the earth vein map, its brightness second only to the three coordinates at the very center.
The next moment, only a dim stretch of earth vein lines remained.
Most of the excitement that had just risen in the secret chamber vanished at once.
Old Ancestor Xuanming's raised hand froze in midair, and the smile disappeared from his face.
"What happened?"
He reached out toward that area, sending his Dark Nether Law into the earth vein map. The instant it touched the spot where the light had vanished, the Earth Vein Instrument repelled it.
"It was still shining just now. How could it disappear without warning?"
The Alliance Leader took out the Central Province Mountains and Rivers Register, quickly turned to the corresponding region, and zoomed in on the earth vein map.
Once the two maps overlapped, the contours of the mountains and rivers matched perfectly.
"The position hasn't changed, and the earth vein hasn't broken."
The Alliance Leader stared at the extinguished coordinates, slowly tracing several nearby branch veins with his finger.
"When a point of light disappears, there are usually only two possibilities."
"The law relic was completely destroyed, and all the power inside it dispersed, leaving the Earth Vein Instrument unable to sense it."

Those strands traveled along the lines and soon reached the darkened area, but found no trace of leaking power.
"If a law relic were destroyed, the nearby earth veins would inevitably suffer an impact."
"Right now, the earth
