Rumble!
The instant the Vast Star Capital Lord pressed his arms down, countless pitch-black arms materialized at the intersection of the ten chapters. Under their suppression, the space-time barrier (despair) that Zhou Heng was about to uproot not only returned to its original position but became even sturdier than before.
"Hahaha... power... my power... Earth's power..." The instant the Vast Star Capital Lord vanished, the Shirtless Man he had nailed to the illusory wall burst into laughter. His shriveled muscles rapidly swelled and solidified as though supplied with limitless energy. Soon, the Shirtless Man had become a muscular brute. He effortlessly pulled the long black spike pinning his chest free, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewing with an incessant crunch.
After swallowing the entire long black spike, the Shirtless Man looked toward Sakast in the present world. He could not see what was happening there, but through his connection to the earth, he could sense that Sakast was currently in a vacant phase.
"A vacant phase... meaning the Resurrection Authority triggered temporal turbulence, and the Longevity Nine Venerables reached the past? No... where's that old dog Blue Sky? Where is he?" After repeatedly probing and finding no trace of Blue Sky's presence, the bare-chested man's expression tightened, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. As the second Chosen One, Earth, he had been away from Sakast for far too long-so long that many things seemed to have diverged from his original conjectures.
"Hmph!" The second Chosen One, Earth, smashed his fists together. The next second, a solid ribbon formed at his mouth. With a thunderous boom, his entire body turned into lightning and instantly vanished from the space-time of the Past and Former Times.
1!
Zhou Heng silently counted down to one, watching the countless pitch-black arms
