Chapter 1051 Shock (1/2)

Even if he wants to die, he doesn’t need to do it this way!

On the Tianyuan Region’s side, Qin Lian was even more ashen. Trembling all over, she murmured, “Zhou Yuan, you lunatic!”

From her perspective, Zhou Yuan’s action of swallowing the rune-ball in one gulp was too extreme and seemed to be a desperate final counterattack.

Is there a need for you to do that?!

With your talent, you will still have a chance to turn things around even if the Tianyuan Region is destroyed. There is no need to sacrifice your life!

She stared dumbly at the black iron tower, her mind blank.

Yi Qiushui clapped her hand over her mouth, and her legs felt like jelly. If Ye Bingling hadn’t tightly held onto her, she would have likely collapsed on the ground. Even so, her eyes were red, and she let out muffled sobs.

She had previously witnessed the rune-ball’s tremendous power, which even the iron tower that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan created failed to withstand. What could Zhou Yuan, an initial Heavenly Sun expert, do under that terrifying power?

Although Zhou Yuan had created miracles time and time again, they were all at a level similar to him, but the rune-ball clearly contained power that far exceeded the level that a Heavenly Sun expert could achieve. Therefore, the situation didn’t look too good for Zhou Yuan.

Chi Jing stared expressionless at the scene, her short burgundy hair fluttering in the wind, a monstrous killing intent surging in her bright eyes. ”Little junior brother, if you fall here, I will make sure one of the enemy’s Law Domain experts is buried with you,” she whispered.

Sect master Xuan Kun and the others wore expressions as cold as water. They knew that Chi Jing appeared calm but was probably on the verge of erupting.

”Hey, why didn't it explode?”

Suddenly, sect master Xuan Kun felt something was wrong.

Even Chi Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard him, and a trace of puzzlement flashed past her eyes. Yes, why didn’t the rune-ball explode?

After a few breaths, the other parties also noticed the bizarre situation. Looks of astonishment crossed their originally shocked faces as they whispered to one another.

”What's the matter? Why didn't the rune-ball explode?”

“Could there be a problem?”

“Could Zhou Yuan have dissolved the sphere’s power?”

”How is that possible!? Even Nascent Source experts couldn’t block the rune-ball’s power, so how could he, an initial Heavenly Sun expert, dissolve its power?!”

“Then, why didn’t it explode?”

“That—”

Bewilderment came to everyone’s face. They couldn’t understand why the rune-ball suddenly failed.

On the jade battle arena.

Lu Qing’s roaring laughter stopped, and he looked at Zhou Yuan with a surprised expression.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes tight and stood quietly.

However, the rune-ball that Zhou Yuan swallowed was like a misfired cannonball.

”What's the matter?” Lu Qing said puzzledly, but he didn't dare approach Zhou Yuan. If the rune-ball’s explosion was only delayed, he would be impacted if he got too close to Zhou Yuan.

Even at this time, he still didn’t think Zhou Yuan would be able to withstand the rune-ball’s explosion, and he believed the explosion’s delay was due to other reasons.

”Zhou Yuan, no matter how you struggle, you can't change the ending!” Lu Qing's eyes were sinister.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan slowly opened his closed eyes. His gaze met Lu Qing’s, and the two were deadlocked for a moment. No matter whether it was inside or outside the tower, the air seemed to have frozen.
