Chapter 1151: A Grand Cage (1/2)

Dou Tianchen realized that something must have gone wrong, and thus asked, “What’s wrong? Did something bad happen?”

Staring down at the fancy stone in her hand, Wang Meijia muttered, “My Sound Stone doesn’t work anymore. Soul communication seems to have been cut off, as I can no longer get in touch with that Void Spirit Society elder.”

“The spatial rift collapsed, and now Sound Stones have stopped working...” Kan Zhisheng, who was well-versed in spatial power, pondered for a while before exclaiming, “Something must have happened to the spatial fluctuations across the entire Shatter Battlefield! Only that can explain these anomalies.”

Dou Tianchen frowned and said, “So does that mean we’re not going to be able to leave the Shatter Battlefield anytime soon?”

With a thoughtful expression, Kan Zhisheng answered, “Our connection to the outside world is cut off. I suppose the same has happened to the other sects. However, since the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, the strongest spatial power expert of our time, is currently in the Shatter Battlefield, I bet those from the Void Spirit Society will be able to find a way out of here.”

“The Void Spirit Society?!” Wang Meijia exclaimed softly.

The two Sons of the Stars exchanged a glance and rapidly came to a decision. Without hesitation, they dashed towards the Void Spirit Society disciples’ gathering place with their subordinates.

At almost the same time…

Lou Hongyan and Huang Jinnan arrived at the Five Elements Sect’s spatial rift that connected to the outside world with their subordinates.

Upon arriving, they saw the spatial rift filled with glorious swirling lights.

However, the lights only existed for a few seconds before their only connection to the Five Elements Sect’s headquarters exploded as well.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did the spatial rift explode for no reason?”

“Something is wrong!”

“Don’t tell me that the apocalypse Nie Tian’s master saw is actually going to happen!”

Soon, Lou Hongyan and Huang Jinnan reached a mutual understanding, and led their subordinates towards the Void Spirit Society’s gathering place. “Let’s go find those from the Void Spirit Society!”

Meanwhile, He Lianxiong from the Heaven Span Pavilion and his subordinates faced the same problem.

However, the humans weren’t alone.

The Demons, Fiends, Phantasms, Bonebrutes, dragons, and many other powerful races that had entered the Shatter Battlefield also faced this problem, as all of their teleportation portals and spatial rifts that connected to their heaven and earth also successively exploded or became inaccessible.

Back when Pei Qiqi’s Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure had first appeared, it had only drained power from and destroyed the teleportation portals and spatial rifts that had connected to small realms like the Realm of Maelstrom.

As intelligent as it was, it hadn’t dared to lay its greedy hands on the unique spatial rifts that belonged to the four great sects.

For that reason, the few truly powerful human sects and outsider races had maintained their access to the Shatter Battlefield, allowing them to enter and conduct trials in it from time to time.

It was completely different this time.

All of a sudden, major spatial anomalies befell the Shatter Battlefield, immediately cutting off all of its connections to the outside world.

Because of this, the Shatter Battlefield had now become a huge cage.

Everyone trapped in it feared for their safety.

...

Atop the broken mountain peak.

Wu Ji sat with his eyes closed as Nie Tian chatted with Hou Chulan, the Divine Daughter of the wood element sect, with his eyes fixed on the distant sky.

“Hmm?!” Hou Chulan touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, a baffled expression appearing on her delicate face. “My Sound Bracelet doesn’t work anymore.”

She was trying to contact the elders of the wood element sect to see if they had met with her master and if they had made a decision when she discovered that the wisps of soul messages she sent into the Sound Bracelet failed to go out.

“What?!” Hearing this, Fang Yuan, Wei Lai, Yan Zhan, and the others on the mountaintop hastily made attempts with their own communication devices.

A few seconds later, everyone’s faces grew grim.

Wei Lai took a deep breath and said, “Something major must have happened. It’s very unnatural that our Sound Stones all stopped working at the same time. This means the spatial energy here has gone through significant changes. I suspect that major problems will happen to the spatial rifts that connect this place to the outside world as well. They may even explode because of this!

“I have a bad feeling!”

RUMBLE!
