Chapter 859 Absolute Upheaval (3)
The people on the Moon Mountain were evaluating flying swords while taking anything they could grab. They watched their homes sinking into the earth with saddened expressions as they fled.
They all knew with Moon Mountain's destruction, the union might no longer exist anymore.
"Cheeee…"
An eerie shrill like someone just happened on an iron plate resounded all over the union, and the sour of it was the sky above them.
The moment everyone laid their eyes on the sky, they were instantly horrified because the sky seemed to be… splitting!
Not only that, but some people also noticed the debris of the huge Above Mountain Palace on top of the sinking Moon Mountain, and some people were paying attention to the seemingly endless darkness, which now seemed to be fading away.
The Union natives were always told that the Mortal Domain and Sun and Moon Domain were their entire world, and there was nothing behind that endless darkness that surrounded them.
However, even the sky above them was now cracking while the darkness was fading away; this could only mean it was nothing but a lie. At least some extremely clever people thought that not to mention the High Union Elders who knew about the ten continents all had peculiar glints in their eyes as they watched the sky breaking and the darkness fading away.
For them, who could not leave the Union in their entire life and wanted to see the world beyond it, this was naturally akin to true freedom for them as they no longer had to be caged just in the Union.
Some of them had read about the legends of the Endless Sea in the secret sections of libraries, and they longed to explore those dangerous waters.
If it was truly the end of the Union, then this meant true freedom for them. They can take their races and start anew or form their own organizations.
However, they were just their thoughts as they knew if they wanted true freedom. It still depended on whether the Union Leader would agree or not. Powerful they might be, but they were nowhere near the level of Union Leader or the two very much alive Sun and Moon Lords.
The Moon Mountain had already sunk up to the third cloud ring, and soon, when the fourth cloud ring fully dissipated, it would be over 80% under the ground.
At this moment, from the dissipating fourth cloud ring, something invisible puffed out of the faint clouds, and no one would've noticed such a tiny disturbance, especially when such an event was unfolding.
The invisible object was actually a flying sword, and a hooded person stood on top of it as he flew toward the massive crowd while he looked at the sinking mountain with his astute dark blue eyes.
'So that's why I wasn't able to find any traces of Sun Mountain. Strange… why do they sink into the ground? Are they part of some formation or something else that is related to the secret realms?' Ace thought curiously before his focus turned to the top of the moon mountain, and his eyes widened when he saw a huge broken palace lying waste on top of the mountain, forming a huge crater.
Surprised, he thought, 'Is that the Above Mountain Palace!?'
Ace knew about the Above Mountain Palace since he had gone there when the Union Leader took him as his disciple and handed him the position of the Junior Union Leader. It was the place where the downfall of the Union started, so how could he forget it?
Suddenly, his expression turned grave as he thought, 'Since the palace is also destroyed, then this means the Union Leader is somewhere here. Furthermore, the sky and that endless darkness are also splitting apart. This could only mean that Qi radiation fog and the sky are also fake and were only functional because of the two secret realms.
'Now that they are gone, everything is returning to its original state. This means the union will be revealed as whole as a whole new continent…' A chill went down Ace's spine at this point.
Because now that he thinks about it, the Union was actually a continent not any smaller than the Demon Continent. Furthermore, there were no ten continents at the start, and only later did the massive mainland break into ten pieces.
But if the Union was also part of that mainland once, then this mean it was divided into 11 pieces. Yet no one seemed to have any recollection of a massive continent disappearing at all.
'Could it be it's also related to the Heaven's Secret?' Ace could only speculate this since he knew what kind of thing the Union was related to.
Nonetheless, Ace knew he was going to find the truth about the deeply hidden secret as he continued with his mission. It is just a matter of time.
Right this moment, Ace heard the system's voice,
=====
[Elemental Orb of Wind position has been locked on the Live Fate Map!]
[Elemental Orb of Ice position has been locked on the Live Fate Map!]
[Elemental Orb of Darkness position has been locked on the Live Fate Map!]
=====
Ace's eyes widened ever so slightly before his lips curled up in an ecstatic smile, "You really weren't lying when you said there were three elemental orbs gathered in the Union. I guess my 100,000 TP were well spent despite it being your job to tell me whenever I got closer to an elemental orb!" Ace grumbled towards the end.
When he stepped into the union, the system had asked him for 100,000 TP to tell him a fact that he was too curious to overlook. So, he spent the TP, and it was then when System revealed that, excluding the metal orb, all the reaming elemental orbs were gathered together in the Union!
It was hard for Ace to swallow such a massive piece of information, and he was in utter disbelief.
Furthermore, since he spent 100,000 TP and a rare chance, the system told him if he could enter into a certain range, it could easily mark those three orbs into his map as 'Dark, Ice, Azure Wind Orbs' and thereafter, they won't be able to escape him ever.
Now, the system has finally completed its promise. This could only mean one thing: the owners of the final three orbs were within the vicinity, and Ace was sure those people wouldn't be just any random person.
Right at this moment, Ace was about to open the fate map to see where those orbs were when suddenly terrifying pressures spread, and a huge blast was heard.
It came right on top of Moon Mountain, right where the broken Above Mountain Palace was located!
