Chapter 321: Setting Sun
Time rewound.
Yun Ye and the others found themselves once again at the edge of Dusk Valley, far from the core area.
"We’re in big trouble. If another Powerful Figure falls this time, I won’t be surprised," Yun Ye said.
Although they couldn’t hear the conversations of the System Masters, the severity of the situation was clear; they understood one fact:
Even Lan Wuyin couldn’t save them!
"It seems the world has reverted to its original state; this is too strange. Time rewinding? Is that even possible?" Si Jianyong and Wen Shu had heavy expressions.
"I don’t understand… but we can only retreat to protect ourselves," Ling Xu said.
In the battle between the System Masters, they were mere onlookers and could do nothing at all.
"Master said the same thing—stay away," Yun Ye added.
Everyone turned to him; Xiang Ying had combat power at the Chief level, and in this situation, she didn’t summon them. The protective measures were…
"Isn’t that good? Why is everyone staring blankly? Let’s hurry!" Fang Heying said, pushing Yun Ye, not wanting to waste a second.
"Right, let’s go!" After Yun Ye gave the command, everyone could finally move.
They transformed into streaks of light and distanced themselves from the battlefield.
During this time,
Yun Ye sighed deeply.
He realized his good fortune was all a lie.
It was one thing to stumble upon a major incident; why did it have to be so rare that even Lan Wuyin got caught in it too?
This meant that even if he had extraordinary luck, it wouldn’t help in this situation? It wasn’t that his luck was fake, but the problem was simply too great?
Sigh, sigh; Yun Ye had an endless stream of sighs.
He was supposed to be treated as a child of destiny.
Even when facing problems, Lan Wuyin would usually sweep him away, sparing him from danger.
Yet now, Lan Wuyin got stopped as well, a completely unexpected turn of events.
In the silence,
The sun set over Dusk Valley.
Yun Ye watched the entire process of the chaotic sunset reappear once more.
Countless black particles rose from the ground, continuously surging into the sky, forming a pure black humanoid figure. Atop its head was a great sun—though, to be precise, it should be a moon, which was shrouded in darkness as it set, transforming into a pure black sphere that hung above the setting sun.
This was the Chaotic Demon known as the Setting Sun.
A figure devoid of facial features, without a single pattern or characteristic, towering hundreds of meters high.
If one had to describe it, the black moon it bore could be considered its distinguishing feature.
But in this pitch-black night,
even that trait seemed meaningless.
"Observations are impossible…"
This was the second time Yun Ye had seen this scene, but from his perspective, the existence of the setting sun was nearly absent.
Spirit Law could not be deduced, Spirit Sense could not perceive it, and the Eye of Invisible Light showed no response.
Only the visible blackness confirmed that something seemed to be swallowing the light, presenting an exterior to the world.
It was deeply chilling!
"Zzzz…"
Suddenly,
a wind seemed to stir the leaves around, making a slight rustling sound.
Mysterious shadows appeared, instantly eroding Yun Ye and directly seizing one of his arms.
This scene made everyone’s faces pale, halting their actions in an instant.
"Great sun in the sky!"
Needless to say, Yun Ye himself summoned a great sun, illuminating the world and creating his unique space of phenomena.
However, to everyone’s surprise,
this time the great sun did not create a complete world—it only formed a precarious area of light just a hundred meters wide.
Everyone could clearly see the darkness festering at the edges, encroaching upon the phenomena of the great sun, gradually consuming the remaining light.
"This is the power of the setting sun. If one is in darkness, they will be attacked; if in light, this power will extinguish that light first!"
Everyone realized at the same time.
The System Masters had previously demonstrated the powers of dusk and the setting sun, leaving a strong impression on them.
"There should be one more addition: those who gaze upon it will be the first to be attacked. Furthermore, the power of shadows is unresistable, surpassing the Mystic Laws; aside from luminous powers, don’t think of any other solutions."
Yun Ye swallowed a spirit pill, his arm quickly reassembling.
He had already used his Essence of Annihilation to counteract the moment his palm was consumed, but the effect was weak, and he could not hold it back. So he used the phenomena of the great sun, applying the conventional method of ‘light’ to suppress it.
The phenomena of the great sun might not be as strong as Annihilation, but it worked better against shadows.
These shadows seemed to be akin to Perfect Spirits or Unique Spirits, having weakened the resistance to light in order to specialize in other powers.
"Even with light, at our strength, we probably can’t hold on for long…"
As Si Jianyong spoke,
brilliant light burst forth from the sky, instantly suppressing all shadows.
The System Masters were also fighting and naturally used their powers, and the light created by them, even from a great distance, could radiate over, greatly reducing Yun Ye’s pressure.
However, this battle did not last long. Perhaps around ten seconds?
As a Powerful Figure had half his body swallowed by shadows, someone instantly tore through space to reach the border, and then the scenery of the world returned to dusk once more.
"That was close to being devoured… no wonder this place is a forbidden zone; it’s too dangerous."
The Powerful Figure’s face turned pale.
It was very difficult to restore his devoured body; not everyone was like the Undying Blood Queen, able to easily reorganize and revive.
The bodies in the Mystic Realm were built from countless resources, and restoring them was far from just growing back flesh.
"We can’t suppress this demon in one go without the help of super formations… it’s tough!"
Although both sides unexpectedly gave up the struggle,
their cooperation was very limited.
With their current abilities, they were simply insufficient to defeat the Setting Sun.
Moreover, the Setting Sun still concealed other powers, not fully revealing itself; the space-time rift continued to baffle them about its origin.
"Since that’s the case, the only way to win is to set up a formation," Lan Wuyin said.
"And then become your puppet?" Master Yong Yin shot him a cold glare.
"We could also try to set up an ordinary formation; if we work together, we might be able to quickly suppress the setting sun."
Lan Wuyin said lightly. Despite his plans being hindered and feeling angered, as a being of the Mystic Realm, he adjusted quickly, his emotions calming down.
"It’s worth a try. By using a Dao tool to establish a vow, we can reduce the duration to a quarter of an hour. In this way, even someone as accomplished in Spirit Law as Qushuang would absolutely have no way to break free!" Master Xia Qi declared.
The Mystic Law vow already involved causality; theoretically, as long as one agreed, it would be impossible to go against it no matter what.
However, this was not absolute; some existences had incredibly frightening abilities that could defy the effects of a vow.
There had been instances in the past where someone broke a vow of mutual non-attack, causing a massacre while everyone else remained bound, leading to far-reaching consequences.
As a result, it was now customary to add a clause when forming vows: if anyone were to break the vow first, the others’ vows would be immediately rescinded.
