Chapter 1635: The Might of a Single Cannon

Watching the golden light shoot from the cannon muzzle, it disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

It resembled a brilliant meteor, carrying endless hope and power, piercing through layers of clouds and rushing toward the depths of distant space.

However, unlike what people imagined, the golden light did not trigger a earth-shaking roar or terrifying aftereffects.

Instead, it was like a gentle breeze passing by, silently vanishing into the boundless universe.

One could even say there was not a hint of movement, as if everything were so calm and natural.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring at the sky in disbelief, their faces showing bewilderment and confusion.

Everyone couldn't help doubting their own eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

Could that golden light just have been an illusion? Or did their brains experience a brief hallucination?

Luo Jiuyou gave Ye Zhangqing an even more doubtful look, his eyes full of incomprehension and confusion.

He couldn't help but speak up.

"Is it over? It's just gone?"

His voice hinted at disappointment and confusion.

He had expected a stunning performance, but reality left him quite surprised.

His expression was complex, as if he could not understand why such a huge cost yielded such an astonishing result.

He muttered to himself, "That was sixty million supreme-grade spirit stones!"

"This is no small sum; I thought I would at least hear a deafening boom, but in the end I didn't hear a single sound."

"How could this be? Did this money just go down the drain?"

Luo Jiuyou couldn't help feeling heartbroken, after all that was sixty million supreme-grade spirit stones, not six hundred, and this is the result?

He felt utterly swindled, his mind filled with doubt and strangeness.

Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Ye Zhangqing opened his mouth, but for a moment didn't know what to say.

The others present all wore strange expressions.

After preparing for so long and spending so many supreme-grade spirit stones, the outcome was just this—no one could accept it.

For a moment, everyone's gaze toward the few Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestors grew complex.

Is this the latest divine artifact you researched and boasted about?

Facing the crowd's gaze, the few Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestors could only give an embarrassed smile.

"Hehe, wait a moment, let the cannonball fly a bit."

Their faces showed embarrassed smiles, but inside they actually felt somewhat helpless and disheartened.

After all, they had poured much time and energy into developing this so-called latest divine artifact, yet they hadn't expected such a result.

However, just then, the eternally silent Eternal Night Old Ancestor suddenly raised a Línglì shield.

As the Línglì shield instantly enveloped everyone, all faces changed, and they looked doubtfully at the Eternal Night Old Ancestor.

Everyone's gaze focused on the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, not understanding why he suddenly raised a Línglì shield.

Each person's heart was filled with doubt and incomprehension, unsure what would happen next.

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor gave no further explanation, merely uttering two words calmly.

"Be careful."

His voice was calm and firm, yet it caused a hint of tension.

At the same moment, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's expression turned grave, a stark contrast to his usual ease.

Even the Eternal Night powerhouses who knew the Eternal Night Old Ancestor best now sensed that something was off with their patriarch.

They realized the situation might be worse than imagined, for the ancestor had fully exerted his Línglì shield, as if guarding against some unknown danger.

While everyone was still bewildered and at a loss, suddenly a dazzling golden light streaked across the sky, swift as lightning.

Immediately, where the golden light had just flown, space began to crumble inch by inch, as if being torn apart.

Then, a terrifying void storm swept across the entire space in an instant, whipping up fierce winds and huge waves.

As the void storm raged, a heart-pounding aftershock surged toward everyone like a tide.

That immense pressure made every person present feel an unprecedented strain, their hearts racing and breaths quickening.

Those who had been bewildered now finally understood the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's warning.

"Be careful! Raise your Línglì shields quickly!"

Someone shouted in terror, and others quickly reacted, swiftly deploying their own Línglì to raise shields against the sudden impact.

The terrifying pressure struck the crowd's Línglì shields like raging sea waves, each impact seeming ready to tear the shields apart.

Yet, under this pressure's impact, the Eternal Night Old Ancestor suddenly furrowed his brow.

His eyes slowly widened in disbelief at the sight before him, and with a series of cracking sounds, tiny fissures appeared on his supposedly impregnable Línglì shield.

These cracks spread like a spiderweb, seeming ready to shatter at any moment.

This change not only alerted the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, but those around him also noticed the anomaly.

The Vermilion Bird Hall Master, his face full of shock, muttered to himself.

"How could this be……"

She could hardly believe her eyes; the ancestor was a supreme Grand Ancestor, yet his fully deployed Línglì shield could not withstand this residual might's impact.

At this moment, everyone realized a fact: the Heaven-Shaking Cannon's power seemed even more outrageous than they had imagined.

Those who had just been dissatisfied with the Heaven-Shaking Cannon a second ago now, under its residual might, turned pale in an instant.

Their hearts were filled with shock and fear, this immense power far exceeding their expectations.

They had thought the Heaven-Shaking Cannon was merely nominal, but now its power far surpassed their expectations.

Just moments ago it had been calm and still, but in the blink of an eye this residual might plunged them into shock.

Everyone couldn't help wondering whether they could withstand this terrifying force.

Moreover, don't forget this is merely the aftershock of the Heaven-Shaking Cannon!

The aftershock already possesses such tremendous power—it's hard to imagine; if one were to take a direct hit from the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, what would the outcome be?

Anyway, even Emperor Sovereign experts like the Vermilion Bird Hall Master dare not imagine it.

And just as the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's Línglì shield developed cracks, which continued to expand and spread,

The Eternal Night Old Ancestor formed seals with both hands; seeing this, the faces of all the Eternal Night experts grew complex.

Just to fend off the aftershock of the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, the ancestor actually had to resort to a technique?

Could it be that even a simple Línglì shield cannot withstand this aftershock?

This is an Ancestor-level Línglì shield!

As the Eternal Night Old Ancestor manipulated the seal in his hand, he softly uttered a phrase.

"Black Tortoise Seal, activate!"
