Chapter 1025: Shock the Entire Scene

Deep within the Ancient Forest of Heavenly Flame.

Vast battle lines almost completely filled the sky and earth. Furious surges of Source Qi continuously clashed and fought, staining the heavens with blood.

This battlefield had become a meat grinder, swallowing countless combatants from both sides.

Both sides had long since gone berserk.

Initially, the Tianyuan Region held a slight advantage in overall strength along the Chiyun Province battlefront. However, this time, the tide of battle was gradually turning in favor of the Five Great Alliances as time wore on.

The cause was the countless mysterious beams of light emanating from a crystal tower deep within their main camp.

These beams provided the Five Great Alliances' army with a continuous supply of Source Qi, and also accelerated their recovery from injuries.

With such assistance, the Five Great Alliances' army naturally became much stronger, gradually pushing back the Chiyun Province battlefront.

High in the sky, Qin Lian's long hair, illuminated by Source Qi, looked like flames. Her face was stern as she forcefully brought down her Scarlet Phoenix longblade.

The blade swept past, splattering blood and severing an arm.

It was Ji Hu's arm.

However, at the same moment, the venomous sword strikes of the Wang brothers pierced Qin Lian's abdomen. The Source Qi of all three clashed, causing them to retreat awkwardly.

She gasped.

Ji Hu was covered in cold sweat, his face pale, yet he stared chillingly at Qin Lian. The bleeding from his severed arm was quickly stopped, and even granulation tissue began to squirm, attempting to regenerate.

“Qin Lian, you will die here today!” Ji Hu sneered.

Qin Lian's face was expressionless, her body engulfed in a fiery surge of Source Qi. She completely disregarded the injury to her abdomen, stating indifferently, “Don’t worry, if I’m going to die, you’ll all come with me.”

Wang Haiyuan smiled darkly, saying, “Qin Lian, you have no chance. You are destined to lose this time.”

“Can’t you see? Your people are already starting to rout?”

Qin Lian's peripheral vision swept over the battlefield below. Although her expression remained calm, her heart sank slightly, as the Tianyuan Region's battle lines were indeed crumbling.

Wang Haiyuan smiled faintly, continuing his psychological assault: “And it’s not just your forces below that are collapsing; even your Source Infant stage experts are probably nearing their limits. So, how do you intend to win this time?”

Qin Lian looked up at the higher reaches of the void, where overwhelming Source Qi surged and rolled, the commotion far more intense than below.

Elder Yi Yan was currently locked in an intense battle with Xu Mou. Although Elder Yi Yan, with his formidable strength, wasn't intimidated by Xu Mou, who was enhanced by the mysterious beams, other Source Infant experts were gradually being pushed to a disadvantage.

Once Source Infant stage experts began to fall, the situation would truly spiral out of control.

Wang Haiyuan chuckled, “Qin Lian, while the situation hasn’t completely collapsed yet, why don’t you hurry and escape? Do you insist on dying here?”

His malice was evident. As one of the army's linchpins, even a hint of retreat from Qin Lian could cause the entire situation to deteriorate even faster.

Qin Lian's face remained impassive. Her slender hand slowly clenched, and her Scarlet Sparrow longblade hummed once more. Pointing her blade at the three, she stated calmly, “Normally, slaying you three would be as easy as slaughtering dogs. But even with your current tactics, I, Qin Lian, will surely cut you three down today!”

Upon hearing this, the three, including Wang Haiyuan, also turned grim.

“Then let’s see who dies!”

The three were equally ruthless. Their Source Qi erupted, and they were about to charge forward again.

However, just as the four were about to resume their fierce battle, the expressions of Wang Haiyuan and the other two suddenly changed. They noticed that the mysterious beams of light behind them had abruptly dimmed and weakened.

The massive surge of Source Qi flowing into their bodies was instantly curtailed.

“What’s going on?!”

The three were greatly alarmed and looked behind them. When they saw the continuously dimming mysterious beams, a hint of panic appeared in their eyes.

Qin Lian also noticed this sudden change. She, too, was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting the opponent's mysterious beams to start failing at such a critical moment!

She quickly looked down at the battlefield and indeed saw that the beams behind all the Alliance experts were beginning to dim.

The fiercely contested battlefield paused for a few breaths due to this development, with both sides displaying completely different expressions.

The Tianyuan Region side was naturally overjoyed, while the previously dominant Alliance army became somewhat flustered.

“Hahaha, Xu Mou, it seems even heaven isn’t on your side!”

A thunderous laugh echoed across the void. Faced with this change, even Elder Yi Yan couldn’t help but lose his composure slightly.

Meanwhile, Xu Mou's aged face was a mix of changing emotions. Knowing he had to stabilize the situation, he immediately roared, “Don’t panic! It’s just a temporary transmission fluctuation. Everyone, attack with full force now and crush the Tianyuan Region!”

His shouted command resonated in everyone's ears.

Hearing Xu Mou’s words, the panicked Alliance army’s morale somewhat stabilized.

However, before their emotions could fully settle, they watched in utter horror as the mysterious beams behind them grew weaker and weaker, finally extinguishing completely like candlelight.

The mysterious beams vanished entirely.

When the beams disappeared, everyone felt the continuous influx of powerful Source Qi into their bodies cease as well.

Everyone was instantly reverted to their original state.

Faced with this scene, even Xu Mou was utterly shocked, muttering in disbelief, “How could this happen?!”

“Damn it, what are those idiots doing?!”

His face turned ashen as he looked towards the main camp. The dazzling crystal tower still stood there, but his intuition told Xu Mou that something must have gone wrong inside the tower.

Elder Yi Yan also held back his attack at this moment, as this change likewise made him feel uncertain and suspicious. He found it hard to believe: could their luck truly be this good? That precisely at this most crucial moment, the opponent's Source Qi transmission lost control?!

Or was this a ploy by the enemy?

As both sides pondered, the previously brutal battlefield became eerily quiet.

Qin Lian stood in the void, her gaze fixed on the dazzling crystal tower in the distant main camp, her eyes flickering.

A small, graceful figure appeared beside her; it was Mu Youlan, who was also looking a little disheveled from a difficult battle she had just endured.

“What’s going on?” she asked Qin Lian.

Qin Lian was equally puzzled. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know... The enemy’s Source Qi infusion suddenly failed. I’m not sure if it’s real or fake... Let’s observe the situation first. If it’s a true failure, then we’ll launch a full-scale attack.”

Mu Youlan exhaled, saying, “I hope it’s a genuine failure, otherwise...”

Qin Lian remained silent for a moment. She also knew that if it wasn’t a true failure, then the Tianyuan Region would likely face utter defeat on this Chiyun Province battlefield.

As she pondered, Qin Lian suddenly felt the ground tremble.

The source of the tremor seemed to be deep within the enemy’s main camp.

Thump! Thump!

The trembling grew louder and more rapid.

Countless gazes from across the sky followed the source of the sound, finally settling on the crystal tower deep within the main camp.

It was coming from inside there.

Just as countless eyes across the sky converged, the crystal tower suddenly began to vibrate violently. Then, Xu Mou and the other Alliance experts watched in utter horror as the entire crystal tower abruptly collapsed with a thunderous roar.

The entire world fell silent.

Only the sound of the collapsing tower remained.

At this moment, not only were Xu Mou and the others utterly terrified, but even Elder Yi Yan and Qin Lian gasped in shock. What on earth had happened? Had their own Law Domain expert made a move?!

Then, under countless gasping gazes, the top of the crystal tower suddenly exploded, and a figure soared into the sky like a giant roc.

The figure let out a long roar to the sky, and vast, surging Source Qi swept outwards, directly throwing the camp into chaos.

All eyes in the world were fixed on that figure.

The Source Qi radiance around the figure gradually receded, finally revealing him completely.

Among the Tianyuan Region army, countless eyes widened, as if they had seen a ghost.

Elder Yi Yan in the void was also filled with shock.

Qin Lian froze.

Mu Youlan, standing beside her, couldn't help but rub her eyes. She remained silent for a moment, then said to Qin Lian, “He looks familiar... Is it... Zhou Yuan?!”

“Zhou Yuan?!”

Her voice suddenly turned sharp at that moment.
