Capítulo 768: Chapter 360: The Fall of the Heavenly Palace, Beheading Ye Han_2

…

And in the meeting hall of the ark, after everyone had finished trading,

the Book Holder finally revealed the information he held.

The Time Tree, represented by the fifth mural, had indeed begun to descend.

At the right time, in the right place, the path from the future to the present had been opened.

And the location was none other than the current Divine Treasure Immortal Palace.

This made many of the electors’ scalps tingle. Could even this be so easily calculated?

During these gatherings, there had been discussions about the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace.

That was a mysterious space separated from the physical world, and no one knew where it would materialize.

Yet the Book Holder could speak of it all with calm precision. Did this not mean that the Jing Family’s internal strife, the exposure of the Immortal Palace’s information, and the exact location of the palace were all within the Book Holder’s control? What then could he not foresee?

The Book Holder continued to speak, that there would be three branches of the Time Tree invading the present space-time.

“Three branches? You mean there will be three waves of people from the future?” someone asked.

“Correct, they come from a distant future and, although their specific times may differ, their purpose is to reach this time,” the Book Holder said.

“Can it be prevented?” asked Jing Lin, speaking out after he had relayed the message to the Yin Fire and immediately returned to the inside of the ark. The rest of the Ark Chosen Ones did the same.

“Of course, the Time Tree is not a stable existence in itself. They take great risks using the Time Worms to cross time and will bear terrible consequences. To modify history is akin to creating worlds. How could it be easy?”

The Book Holder looked at Jing Lin and smiled, “If the anchor points can be destroyed before the Time Tree fully invades, the tree branches would lose their physical manifestation. Of course, if it has already fully invaded, which means it has grown to a certain scale, then it will be difficult to destroy the anchor points.”

“Destroy the anchor points?” Jing Lin’s heart stirred, as this seemed to be a feasible option.

Inside the palace, there were nearly a hundred thousand Human Warriors. Could they avoid this danger by tackling these yet-to-appear branches?

But if it were truly that simple, it wouldn’t have become a great calamity depicted in the murals.

If they failed to destroy the branches… then all of humanity would have to flee the Immortal Palace and then close it, sealing those dangerous beings within the palace forever!

“Book Holder, how many will die in this calamity? Will it threaten beyond the Immortal Palace?” asked a burly man at that moment, Li Ming.

“You will see for yourself. They come bearing malice, and regardless of success, they will pay a terrible price,” the Book Holder responded. “Confirmed history has a powerful ability to correct itself. Even if someone were to travel back in time and kill someone, there would be another who would take over their duties and complete their unfinished achievements. Therefore, to change history, they will spare no expense.”

“How tragic, their future must be so desperate that even the strongest are taking such risks,” the Book Holder said with a light chuckle.

“Is this also the future you anticipate?” someone asked.

The Book Holder smiled but said nothing. However, in the next moment,

someone gasped in shock, asking, “Book Holder, is this within your calculations as well?”

“Holy shit! The painting is moving!” an elector exclaimed.

This caught the Book Holder off guard, and he immediately turned around, only to see that the image on the fifth mural had come to life.

The location shown as one of the three branch emergence sites, the Ascending Immortal Long Stairs, had completely shattered at this moment! The so-called anchor point was directly destroyed!

“How is this possible? That was made by the gods…” the Book Holder couldn’t believe it. Immediately, his expression drastically changed, and he swiftly left the Ark Hall.

…

Elsewhere, a terrible calamity erupted in the Cloud Palace.

The palace, constructed with unparalleled power, was now showing numerous cracks, and the entire structure was collapsing.

Within the great hall, the two people were roaring out their most formidable Spiritual Energy.

The fearsome forces from each blazed forth.

Ye Han’s Destruction Engraving seemed intent on burning everything to cinders, turning into a second sun.

And Li Yelai wielded the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, capturing thunder with one hand, transforming it into a terrifying Thunder Spear.

Without any hesitation, at the instant the attacks formed, both unleashed their strongest blows!

They disregarded whether they would be affected by the proximity of their own attacks.

“Ah, ahh!” Li Yelai threw his Thunder Spear, activating the Divine General Dharma Image, Abyss Dragon Scale·Unarmored, Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw, with the Blessing of Rainbow Through the Sun triggered. The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder augmented, composing his most powerful attack!

Destruction Engraving pitted against Annihilation Thunder!

At the moment of their clash, the tremendous force detonated.

Immediately, Li Yelai switched his Face to Wolf Vanquisher of Juxu, Huo Qubing, and the Shadow Army’s Immovable as a Mountain!

At the same time, he extended his arm to deploy the Blood God Seven-layered Shield!

‘Hold on, hold on!’

Li Yelai roared, witnessing the Thunder Spear wrapped in a crimson gold and purple, piercing through the scarlet Flames!

The thunderous roar echoed throughout the Immortal Palace, drawing the attention of countless people and beasts.

They saw a gigantic bolt of lightning piercing the Sky Dome, then, the Cloud Palace above the clouds exploded violently, with the Snake Bone Stairs connecting heaven and earth also fracturing and collapsing at this moment.

At this moment, the Heavenly Palace fell!

The immense sound trembled the entire Immortal Palace, causing severe tremors.

Meteors fell like rain from the sky, obliterating several mountain ranges in an instant.

And where the Heavenly Palace fell, the mountains ignited into raging fires, turning everything within several kilometers to scorched earth. Broken palace fragments scattered through the ravaged mountain crevices, the sight both desolate and awe-inspiring.

“Ha… hahaha!”
