Chapter 271: Space Shatters, The Humble Qian Bai Elders
"..."
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.
"That's it?"
Such terrifying energy… and he just threw it away?
Tossing it into a spatial rift could that even cause any damage?
No one could believe what they were seeing, not even the two ancient elders, Qian Lao and Bai Lao.
That overwhelming power… he didn't attack them? He didn't attack Su Qian? He just casually threw it away?
What was he trying to do?
Regardless of his intentions, they had to seal the rift immediately.
If the rift remained open, the consequences would be catastrophic.
With that in mind, the temperature in the sky, which had been scorching hot, suddenly cooled as the deep black light in the Qian Bai Elders' eyes flickered once more.
The massive spatial rift began rapidly healing itself…
In just a minute, the tear was completely mended, leaving the sky as smooth as a mirror.
Only then did the two gray robed elders finally exhale in relief.
Even for them, manipulating space on such a large scale was no easy feat.
Had their opponent not been someone as terrifying as Wu Tian, they wouldn't have dared to take such a drastic measure.
Of course, the reason they were able to tear open space so easily was that Wu Tian's flames had weakened the surrounding spatial stability.
Their display of power left everyone in shock.
Tearing space apart with a mere gesture… absorbing that horrifying flame… what kind of godlike strength was this?
To think that such beings were the academy's guardians.
Jia Nan Academy's foundations were far more terrifying than they had imagined.
With these two present, calling it a force that dominated the continent wouldn't be an exaggeration!
Of course, that applied only to the Northwest Continent…
High in the sky, the two elders watched the flames disappear into the rift, but their expressions grew solemn.
Because despite sealing the rift, Wu Tian's expression remained calm and confident.
This wasn't over.
And in the very next moment, their fears were confirmed.
"Crack "
The space that had just been sealed now as smooth as a mirror suddenly emitted a shattering sound.
This…
This was the sound of space breaking!
This wasn't just a torn rift.
A rift, no matter how large, was still just a tear though it could devour anything, it had its limits.
But this was different.
Because this was space itself collapsing.
As that single shattering sound rang out…
"Crack!"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
A web of cracks spread out in an instant, radiating outward like bolts of lightning.
The fractures branched out like the limbs of a tree, glowing with an eerie, terrifying light.
And that light… was something everyone recognized.
Because it was the same four colored glow as the flame Wu Tian had just thrown inside.
A dazzling, rainbow like radiance spilled from the cracks, but at this moment, no one found it beautiful.
This spectacle wasn't mesmerizing it was pure terror.
The energy seeping out of the fractures was enough to annihilate everything.
The heat alone, leaking from the cracks, had already made the entire Jia Nan Academy unbearably hot.
If the space fully collapsed… their fate was sealed.
Above the entire academy, the sky no longer looked like a sky it had turned into a massive net of cracks.
This "net" enveloped them like impending doom.
One didn't need to think to understand what would happen next.
"Wu Tian, forget the Fallen Heart Flame! Please stop!"
Su Qian couldn't stand by any longer.
Even though Wu Tian hadn't directly attacked or harmed anyone, if this continued, it would lead to the complete annihilation of the academy.
No one would survive.
Even with the strength of the Qian Bai Elders, there was no way they could stand against Wu Tian.
They had finally realized Wu Tian's power was beyond reason.
All three elders were peak Dou Zong, yet Wu Tian, though also a Dou Zong, was in an entirely different league.
In their eyes, he was the undisputed strongest below the Dou Zun realm.
Because with just the power of a Dou Zong, he had shattered space itself.
This wasn't a minor rift.
Even for Qian Lao and Bai Lao, tearing space required them to work together under favorable conditions.
But Wu Tian had done it single handedly.
The proof was right above them, in the form of the collapsing sky.
The Qian Bai Elders, usually prideful and reserved, rushed to Su Qian's side, demanding,
"You knew he was this powerful, and yet you didn't report it to us?"
Su Qian's mouth twitched.
Would they have believed him if he had?
As the Great Elder, he was helpless against these two. He could only point at the sky in frustration.
"Would it have made a difference? Do you see? He did this effortlessly!"
The two old men fell silent, nodding in acknowledgment.
Indeed.
Whether they chose to act arrogant or not, it made no difference.
They were simply too weak compared to Wu Tian.
That massive web of fractures above them…
Even if twenty of them worked together, they still wouldn't be able to do that!
But the real question was why hadn't space fully collapsed yet?
It was already in such a state… why was it still holding together?
Wu Tian, hearing Su Qian's plea, responded with a calm smile.
"I already said Mang Tian Chi is my subordinate. You don't need to worry. I will return the Fallen Heart Flame."
"..."
Was this still about the Fallen Heart Flame?
This wasn't about the flame anymore!
This was about the thousands of students below!
If he didn't act soon, his little girlfriends…
Well, fine, they'd be fine with him around.
But what about the others?
They would be reduced to ashes, and Jia Nan Academy would go down in infamy!
Su Qian's expression darkened.
He nudged the two elders beside him.
Though Qian Lao and Bai Lao usually kept themselves above worldly affairs, they understood the power of the Headmaster better than most.
And they didn't believe that Mang Tian Chi would ever be someone's subordinate.
But right now, none of that mattered.
They had offended a monster.
Su Qian was urging them to apologize.
The two elders, swallowing their pride, forced smiles and said,
"Hehe~ Since we're all family, perhaps you could kindly retract your power?"
Wu Tian, seeing the two old men acting so humble, nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright~! But… I can't exactly stop a spatial explosion once it's started."
"Crash!"
The moment he finished speaking, the sky shattered like broken glass, producing a deafening crack.
And with that collapse…
Came a wave of terrifying heat.
"Boom!"
A powerful explosion of searing energy blasted into Su Qian and the Qian Bai Elders.
In the blink of an eye, the three were sent flying.
All three old men screamed in their hearts:
"We're doomed!"
