Chapter 656: Sudden Incident, Wanting to Take the Ancient City

The pressure is immense, emanating from souls; almost all professionals with a soul level below Level 85 are completely unable to fly.

Some people, clearly only Level 84, can still remain in flight.

Yet some who are already Level 86 can only stand on the ground.

The strength of a soul is judged instantly.

Jiang Chen ignores the pressure; such a slight soul pressure feels to him like a cool breeze, bringing only a faint chill.

Seeing Jiang Chen, Feng Yiming shows surprise, "Divine General Jiang, you have arrived."

He knows Jiang Chen's deeds very well, and is roughly aware of his strength; he is certainly not weaker than any Divine-level Strongman.

Moreover, Jiang Chen can also control the Ancient Thunder Tower, which is even more effective than a Divine-level Strongman in the Lower Space.

His arrival is like the Sea‑Calming Needle, calming Feng Yiming's mind.

Jiang Chen feels the Ancient Thunder Tower Absorbing Lightning's energy, but where this lightning comes from, Jiang Chen does not know.

This is not the Wind and Thunder Continent; there should not be such a powerful Electric Element here.

The sky is now filled with Electric Element, and it is becoming increasingly dense.

"What happened?" Jiang Chen asked.

Feng Yiming repeatedly says, "Half a day ago the Ancient Thunder Tower suddenly rose, and then a massive amount of Electric Element began to appear in the sky."

"The Electric Element kept increasing, then Lightning started to appear, eventually becoming what it is now."

Half a day ago?

Jiang Chen calculated in his mind: wasn't it just half a day ago that he obtained the Divine Rank of the Sacred Sound God?

Then the Palace of the Water God was revealed.

Could the appearance of the Ancient Thunder Tower be related to this?

According to Jiang Chen's understanding of the Ancient Thunder Tower, the time it fell from the sky should be somewhat later than the great battle of the deities.

Logically, the two should have no connection.

Feng Yiming clearly does not know what actually happened.

The Thunder Sea's area is still expanding, gradually spreading outward, showing no sign of stopping.

Jiang Chen said gravely, "Have them withdraw from the ancient city first, don't get hurt; I'll go take a look."

Speaking, Jiang Chen flew toward the sky.

Feng Yiming immediately shouted, "Everyone withdraw from the ancient city."

As the Legion Leader defending the ancient city, he holds the highest authority here.

The troops immediately came to maintain order, and the professionals withdrew from the ancient city one after another.

Jiang Chen rushed upward into the sky; the air was full of Electric Element, electric serpents wildly dancing. This is a world of Lightning, and any professional arriving here would be attacked.

But for Jiang Chen, who is immune to Electric Element, there is no threat at all.

Jiang Chen darted through the thunder clouds and Lightning Sea; he knows that Divine Dragon Ancient City is crucial to the Human Race, and that an anomaly has occurred, which must be clarified.

If the Divine Dragon Ancient City is lost, the Human Race will be at a disadvantage in the Lower Space.

The existence of the Divine Dragon Ancient City has been indispensable for occupying the Divine Dragon Continent.

The higher Jiang Chen flies, the more concentrated the Electric Element becomes.

The soul pressure rapidly intensifies; even when Jiang Chen ascended to ten thousand meters, it still had no end.

The soul pressure here has reached Level 90; even a Divine-level Strongman would feel uncomfortable here.

The Electric Element attacks have also reached Divine Level, enough to cause fatal damage to professionals below Divine Level.

Jiang Chen does not know how high the sky of the Lower Space is, or where its limit lies.

When he reached twenty thousand meters, he was forced to stop.

The soul pressure was too strong, reaching Level 92; this is his limit, he cannot go higher.

This place is entirely a world of Electric Element; all other elements have been driven out, not a trace left.

It is Jiang Chen's first time seeing such a pure elemental world.

Even when the God of Lightning briefly revived, the Electric Element erupted, yet other elements still existed.

At most, it was merely dominated by Electric Element.

But now, it truly has become pure Electric Element, with no other elements present.

Jiang Chen, within the world of Electric Element, quietly feels it.

From his departure from the Divine Dragon Ancient City, the higher he goes, the stronger the Electric Element becomes, eventually breaking the rules of the Ancient Battlefield.

The rules of the Ancient Battlefield have been broken, yet they still exist.

The Electric Element comes from beyond the heavens, weakened layer by layer; the closer it gets to the Divine Dragon Ancient City, the more it is weakened.

It finally formed an inverted pyramid shape.

Since the heavens will not help, the only option is to go into the Ancient Thunder Tower to seek answers.

Now, only he can enter the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Outside the Divine Dragon Ancient City, all professionals have already withdrawn.

At this moment, the Thunder Sea has already shrouded most of the Divine Dragon Ancient City, and it continues to expand.

The Thunder Sea's power is considerable; no professional present can resist it.

Feng Yiming's expression grew solemn as he gazed at the sky.

"Legion Leader Feng, even you don't know what happened?"

"Will the Divine Dragon Ancient City ever return to normal?"

"Should we inform the military and have them send someone to inspect?"

"At least a Divine-level Strongman would be qualified to inspect, right?"

Many professionals who knew Feng Yiming gathered around and asked about the situation.

Feng Yiming was also completely at a loss now, having no idea what had happened.

For any other question asked of him, he couldn't answer a single one.

He also tried to contact the military to request a Divine-level Strongman for support, but ever since the Ancient Thunder Tower suddenly appeared, all communications were cut.

Feng Yiming suddenly realized something, "Go check whether the Teleportation Array can still be used."

Soon his subordinates reported back that the Teleportation Array had completely failed.

Feng Yiming's complexion grew grim; the Teleportation Array was dead, so even if a Divine-level Strongman arrived, they could only fly over, wasting a great deal of time.

Originally a Divine-level Strongman cannot stay active in Lower Space for long.

Moreover, Feng Yiming thought that even a Divine-level Strongman might not be able to uncover anything.

Fortunately, there was Jiang Chen.

Now they could only pray that Jiang Chen could determine the cause.

Seeing Feng Yiming remain silent and his face grow ever more grim, everyone fell silent as well.

Feng Yiming lifted his head and stared dead‑ahead at the sky.

The heavens were filled with blinding, painful lightning, but Feng Yiming endured it, daring not to relax for a moment.

All hope now rested on Jiang Chen.

Yet Jiang Chen's long silence also made him uneasy.

The Thunder Sea grew stronger, completely enveloping the Ancient City.

The Ancient City now resembled a massive thunder mass; if it exploded, tens of kilometers around would be flattened.

Everyone stepped back again, daring only to watch from a distance.

Feng Yiming also fell back ten kilometers, but never took his eyes off the scene.

At last, he saw a figure plunge from the sky, clad in a Light Belt and crackling with electricity, diving into the Ancient City.

His tightly knit brows relaxed slightly; as long as Jiang Chen was safe, that was enough.

Jiang Chen returned to the Ancient City and went straight into the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Few are qualified to enter the Ancient Thunder Tower, and under these circumstances only Jiang Chen could.

Even someone like Li Xueru, a high Divine-level, could not hold out for long.

The Electric Element immunity gave Jiang Chen far too many conveniences.

Jiang Chen arrived at the core of the Ancient Thunder Tower, the place that controls the tower and the entire Divine Dragon Ancient City.

The core of the Ancient Thunder Tower had by now turned into a thunder sphere, continuously radiating massive power.

Jiang Chen ignored the lightning and placed his hand on the core.

The last time he came here, Jiang Chen's soul was still weak, making communication very arduous.

This time, his soul was strong, connecting with the core almost instantly.

A flood of information surged into his mind.

He saw the whole process.

First, a pair of gigantic hands appeared in the sky.

Space, like a sheet of cloth, was torn open by the massive hands.

The torn area was not large—just a crack about ten kilometers long—and the ripped spot was healing rapidly.

The gigantic hands continuously released tremendous power to clash with the force of space.

The torn spot faced directly toward the Divine Dragon Ancient City.

Then a Tower‑shaped object emerged over the crack, and astonishing Electric Element poured toward the Divine Dragon Ancient City.

The Electric Element acted like a chain, linking the Divine Dragon Ancient City.

At the same time, a tearing force kept pulling, as if trying to drag the Divine Dragon Ancient City away.

The ground roared, and the Divine Dragon Ancient City shook incessantly, as if about to lift off the ground.

After watching the scene, Jiang Chen was shocked, "They intend to take the Divine Dragon Ancient City away."

From Jiang Chen's standpoint, naturally he did not want anyone to seize the Divine Dragon Ancient City.

The Divine Dragon Ancient City is the Human Race's foothold in Lower Space; its presence makes a huge difference.

Moreover, the Divine Dragon Ancient City has been in Lower Space for so long that even if it were yours, you can't just toss it away or pick it up without a word.

At the very least, you should give a heads‑up.

"What you're doing is very impolite!" Jiang Chen said with a hint of irritation, his voice a little cold.

He didn't care who was outside; the interests of the Human Race were his primary concern.

The soul's power surged, beginning to Control the core of the Ancient Thunder Tower.

He had once manipulated it before, and this time it was second nature.

Moreover, Jiang Chen's soul was stronger this time, his power greater, allowing him to wield even stronger force.

A protective shield rose from the Divine Dragon Ancient City, separating it from the external lightning.

The shield turned the Divine Dragon Ancient City into an independent entity, cutting off its link to the outside.

External Electric Element could no longer enter, and the Ancient Thunder Tower began rapidly Absorbing the Electric Element power within the city.

"Huh!"

A voice sounded from the sky.
