"While the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Believe me, Fortress of Time will not lose," Zhuang Lingyun said. Once she finished speaking, she coughed up blood again.
Xiao Luxia raised her brows.
What did Zhuang Lingyun mean by saying they would not lose?
As long as she brought the Fortress Flag back to the Upper Heavens, wouldn't the Upper Heavens win?
Just then, a flag bearing the character for Time flew toward her. Without much thought, Xiao Luxia grabbed it and left.
But the instant she stepped out of Fortress of Time, a vast aurora suddenly bloomed at the end of the horizon. The aurora shot into the sky, lighting up heaven and earth.
"Rumble!!"
Along with the aurora came earthshaking explosions. The ground trembled wildly, heaven and earth shook violently, and the surging shockwaves even reached this place, startling everyone.
At the end of heaven and earth, an enormous mushroom cloud slowly rose.
"What happened?"
Xiao Luxia frowned at the mushroom cloud on the horizon, her eyes full of shock. That direction seemed to be where Fortress of Time was?
The next instant, her expression changed drastically as she thought of a terrifying possibility!
Could it be...
Everyone from the Upper Heavens changed expression, all realizing something. Could it be...
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!!!"
Everyone from the Upper Heavens rushed madly toward their Fortress of Time. Xiao Luxia glanced back at the barely breathing Zhuang Lingyun on the ground, then hurried away as well.
At that moment, the bloodstained corner of Zhuang Lingyun's mouth slowly curved into an almost imperceptible smile.
"What happened?"
"What was that heaven-shaking disturbance?"
The emperors of the Emperor Alliance were equally confused. They looked at one another, none of them knowing what had happened.
The Upper Heavens looked extremely panicked.
