Chapter 373: The Locus of Future Change, the Source of All Grandeur!

The sky was about to turn dark, and many of the General Stars who had arrived had already been assigned lodging.

At this moment, they were actually standing one by one on the plaza of the Military Guard or high up in the air, gazing at that massive college entrance exam leaderboard.

"What did this guy do? Can he actually keep pushing?"

"How did he get so many points?"

"I heard he got six billion points just in the Dream Abyss; who knew there would be so many points in the Dream Abyss?"

The General Stars spoke up one after another, incredibly astonished.

All this time, they had assumed the maximum score for the college entrance exam secret realm was ten billion.

As it turns out now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's a bit frightening.

They were all General Stars from all over the Great Xia, all famous geniuses.

Today, they were actually shocked in the tiny Xiaoyang City.

"Thirteen billion now, holy crap!"

Someone growled in disbelief.

Jidao Wu frowned, not saying a word.

He didn't speak again.

Originally, he had said that if he could take the college entrance exam again, he would definitely suppress Chen Yan.

But now that Chen Yan's points had climbed so high, if he said similar things again, it would feel like he was just bragging.

Chen Yan was indeed still climbing the tower.

Because both his and San Jin's withdrawal tokens had already self-destructed.

Therefore, he could only wait for the college entrance exam to end automatically and be sent back by the college entrance exam secret realm.

As for Cheng Zizhen, Chen Yan had asked Xia Qi.

He could bring her back.

However, it might cause a stir in the outside world.

After all, Cheng Zizhen was an Ancient Divine Beast.

Therefore, Chen Yan used the Path of Will to eradicate most of the malice within her body.

There was still some malice that had already seeped into Cheng Zizhen's bone marrow; removing it all at once would directly cost Cheng Zizhen her life.

Even if the malice wasn't completely cleared, as long as the feathers covering her cheeks were blocked, Cheng Zizhen wouldn't be identified as an Ancient Divine Beast at a single glance.

He would not change what he had promised.

Since there were still two days left, Chen Yan planned to climb the tower once more.

He had already climbed from the first floor to the one hundred and ninetieth floor; climbing them again would not yield any Dao-Slaying points.

The treasures after the two hundred and fortieth floor had already been plucked and would not appear again.

But there were still some floors in between that he hadn't climbed.

Chen Yan did not intend to give up any opportunity to become stronger.

He still had one last Dao-Slaying Seed and wanted to accommodate all the remaining Dao-Slaying points at once.

This was yet another Bright Moon-grade precious medicine!

He wanted to leave the college entrance exam secret realm in his strongest state.

Time passed slowly.

The second day arrived.

More and more General Stars came to Xiaoyang City.

Identity files for many people appeared on the desks of Zhang Ting and Zong Heng simultaneously.

"How did even the Chi family show up?" Zong Heng frowned:

"And some old geezers; I thought they were all dead, but I didn't expect them to appear again."

Jidao Wu spoke up:

"The General Star Order has been issued; all General Stars must guard that Lightning Strike Treasure Land. A heaven-defying treasure might be emerging!"

Zong Heng nodded:

"Even Second-Rank General Stars have appeared; will the Xia Clan use the Lightning Strike Treasure Land to select a First-Rank General Star?"

"That's possible!" A sharp glint erupted in Jidao Wu's eyes:

"That will definitely be me. I only care about that leader of the Second-Rank General Stars who hasn't appeared yet; everyone else is just a junior."

As Jidao Wu spoke, he looked out the window, his gaze trembling.

【First Place Chen Yan: 14.5 Billion】!

He didn't want to talk anymore.

With points like these, perhaps no one would surpass him for the next ten years.

He had an increasingly bad headache.

How did everything pile up all at once?

"When that Chen Yan comes out, arrange for him to be under my command; I'll vet him properly for you all," Jidao Wu said:

"I want to see for myself if he is truly worth trusting."

"You have a bias against Chen Yan; better forget it," Zong Heng waved his hand hurriedly.

He knew Jidao Wu had also been shocked.

The things he said today were not as sharp and aggressive as they were yesterday.

Jidao Wu was about to say something else.

Yet it was also at this moment.

Boom!

A terrifying, rumbling sound like the shifting of earth veins stirred up waves.

Jidao Wu and Zong Heng hurriedly flew out to look toward the outside.

They saw that, to the south outside Xiaoyang City.

A pillar of azure light surged up from the earth, shooting into the clouds, filled with electric light and roaring with sound.

Boom, boom, boom!

At the same time.

In the east, north, and west of Xiaoyang City, one such azure pillar of light appeared in the human world, overflowing with blinding lightning glow.

The four pillars of light were like four sky-supporting lightning dragons, forming a square, brilliant and dazzling!

"Lightning Strike Treasure Land!"

Jidao Wu let out a low roar:

"General Stars, take orders: guard the Lightning Strike Treasure Land and await the manifestation of the fortuitous encounter!"

At his command, over a thousand General Stars appeared in the high sky.

This was the Great Xia's most elite and powerful prodigy legion.

At this moment, everyone was incredibly excited.

They were going to obtain a great fortuitous encounter!

The Lightning Strike Treasure Land had manifested!

In an instant.

Throughout Xiaoyang City, the gazes of many experts looked toward the four Lightning Strike Treasure Lands.

Zhang Ting also appeared in the high sky, his eyes trembling:

"I actually sensed a trace of Continent Brilliance aura!"

He was incredibly shocked; what kind of treasure land could pull upon Continent Brilliance power?

This was a change in Xiaoyang City, yet he, the Chief of the Martial Suppression Division, had no idea why it had appeared.

Furthermore, the Xia Clan had long since issued an order.

Only General Stars could go to guard the Lightning Strike Treasure Lands.

But Zhang Ting knew that if there truly was a fortuitous encounter.

Some old fellows might disregard the Great Xia's orders and go directly to seize it.

Chen Changyuan also appeared, and he too frowned.

He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Xiaoyang this year.

How did it suddenly become the center of the Great Xia?

And...

He narrowed his eyes, sensing toward one location.

Sitting inside the villa, the Chen Clan Great Elder Chen Qi calmly opened his eyes and let out a low hum:

"Impertinent!"

As his voice fell, Chen Changyuan withdrew his perception.

Chen Qi was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

He actually could not understand this Lightning Strike Treasure Land; it was completely different from any treasure land he had seen before.

"Could it really be a struggle of the First-Rank General Stars?" Chen Qi frowned.

General Stars were the core of the Great Xia's backbone prodigies.

With so many General Stars arriving, there must also be terrifying existences who had come to protect them in secret.

Who could it be?

He looked toward the high sky, capturing various auras.

Finally, his gaze locked onto one aura.

"Blood Sword Saint, you have come out of seclusion!" Chen Qi stood up and looked into the void.

"I feel that I can beat you now!"

An incredibly cold voice came through.

"That is your illusion!" Chen Qi spoke:

"I do not believe you are the only one who came; did Xia Hanzhou come as well?"

The Blood Sword Saint cursed lowly:

"Do not mention him in front of me!"

Chen Qi smiled faintly:

"This is getting interesting."

He could not understand the changes in Xiaoyang.

Perhaps there really was a massive fortuitous encounter within that Lightning Strike Treasure Land!

He had lived for a long time; the manifestation of the General Star Order represented a great change.

"Where exactly does this great change lie?"

Chen Qi murmured, lost in thought; his eyes swirled with overflowing color, mysterious and profound.

At this moment, he seemed to see the endless future, to see the rolling, ceaseless river of time.

He saw a blurred figure.

Tall and slender, in a black robe, holding a long spear overflowing with pitch-black thunder.

His aura was as cold and chilling as a demon from the mortal realm.

Chen Qi's heart trembled; through predicting the Thunder-Strike Treasure Land, he had actually seen a god of slaughter who would appear in the future!

On the long spear, blood was still dripping, incomparably murderous!

Who is that!

That person stepped over hundreds of thousands of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the killing intent overflowing from his body so thick that even Chen Qi's heart trembled.

Just how many people has he killed?!

Who is he?

The path of Qi and blood, cultivating thunder?

Who on earth is it?

Is it someone from the Xia Clan, or the Five Clans?

Is he the second god of slaughter after Lu Xunyang?!

Damn it.

"Who are you?"

Chen Qi growled.

The next moment, that person seemed to hear his voice and was slowly turning his head.

Chen Qi widened his eyes, about to see that face clearly the next moment.

But in the very next moment.

Crackle...

A terrifying chill invaded his divine sense, completely shattering this image.

The next moment.

With a hiss.

Blood tears flowed from his eyes.

He perceived the future and suffered a backlash.

"Argh!!!"

Chen Qi threw his head back, a difficult, low groan spilling from his throat.

At this moment, even Chen Qi's expression was ugly, his aura becoming sluggish; he could no longer continue to look:

"It is related to Zhou Ming!"

He took a deep breath; he was just a hair's breadth away from perceiving that face.

But the appearance of Zhou Ming caused him to perceive nothing at all.

At this moment, his breathing was rapid.

He had originally come to Xiaoyang to bring back a prodigy of a collateral branch and, incidentally, to see what the Great Xia looked like today.

He had not expected to encounter a great upheaval!

"This may be the center of the upheaval for the next few decades!"

He stood up instantly, the aura he released turning all the items in the room into powder.

Chen Xiyuan, who was still on the second floor, sensed the change in the living room and hurriedly ran down.

In an instant, Chen Xiyuan was also frightened pale by the scene before her.

The Great Elder of the Chen Clan, who was usually crane-haired and youthful-faced, with an ethereal, immortal air.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair disheveled, and he suddenly spoke:

"I have seen a great upheaval in the world!

The world of the future will embark on a different path because of this matter."

Chen Qi's breathing was rapid.

Even he had not expected it to be like this.

Now, things like Chen Yan were simply unimportant.

What is the Xia Clan trying to do?

That young ruler of the nation is already a dying man; what is he trying to do?

Has he gone mad?

Damn brat!

Chen Xiyuan's heart trembled, and she dared not speak.

Only the old man growled aloud:

"Perhaps I saw it wrong."

"But if I am not wrong, then..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

"Everything is related to the Thunder-Strike Treasure Land!"
