Chapter 1021 Bottom of the Tower (2/2)

Zhou Yuan sighed before looking above the countless chains. Many stone platforms floated in the air, each occupied by a seated figure. From their Genesis Qi undulations, they were all Heavenly Sun experts.

A gray-robed elder sat on the platform at the very center. It was a Nascent Source expert!

The security here was very tight.

Evidently, the Great Five Alliance had invested an unimaginable force into the Chiyun Prefecture battlefront. It was very likely that they had already been eyeing the Heavenly Fire Tree King from the very beginning, and it had been the reason why they had made this place a battlefield.

However, no one on the Tianyuan Region side had realized this. Perhaps, it was because even grand elder Mu Ni had failed to find the Heavenly Fire Tree King years ago that they hadn’t thought of it. Hence, everyone believed that it would also be impossible for the Great Five Alliance’s Law Domain experts.

But they had found it.

Moreover, they had even discovered the method to utilize the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power...

In the shadows, Zhou Yuan’s gaze flickered in thought. He, too, did not believe the Great Five Alliance had such capabilities. Supreme sovereign Wan Zu might be behind this. Only someone like him had the power to locate the Heavenly Fire Tree King.

“That old bastard!”

Zhou Yuan hatefully gnashed his teeth. All of his plans should have succeeded, but they had been foiled by supreme sovereign Wan Zu just as he was about to collect the rewards.

However, Zhou Yuan understood that he was just an ant in the eyes of such an existence, and there was no use no matter how angry he grew. Hence, he needed to focus on resolving the problem before him.

Zhou Yuan glanced at the defenses on the stone platforms. He was not worried about them. With his five-foot Law Domain and the Celestial Shadow Art, they would be unable to detect him even if he moved about right under their eyes.

However, how could he take away the Heavenly Fire Tree King?

Zhou Yuan was silent for a brief moment. Soon after, he turned into a shadow and stealthily flew through the air. He latched onto one of the chains and traveled through its shadow, swiftly approaching the ball of light.

In a short moment, he arrived at the source.

However, Zhou Yuan did not dare to advance any farther. At the end of the chain, he could sense several exceedingly powerful Genesis Runes. These runes possessed a unique power...Saint Fire!

The same Saint Fire that only a Sant expert could create!

Zhou Yuan had felt it from patriarch Cang Xuan before.

Saint Fire could burn even the Law Domain.

So it is supreme sovereign Wan Zu! Zhou Yuan cursed in his heart. The Great Five Alliance had no Saint expert after all.

Worry rose within him. Although there was only a tiny remnant trace of the Saint Fire, his five-foot Law Domain might be revealed if he approached.

What should I do?

Retreat? Definitely not!

While such thoughts were swirling in Zhou Yuan’s head, he suddenly felt a vague, foreign mind reach out towards him.

Had he been discovered?

Zhou Yuan’s heart shivered. The Law Domain stirred as he began to withdraw.

However, just as his body was about to move, his eyes suddenly flashed as they flooded with amazement.

He had realized that the mind was sending out a message—a cry for help.

The source of this message...

Zhou Yuan looked towards the end of the chain. It was clearly the trapped Heavenly Fire Tree King!
