Chapter 923: Reversal
"How?" Both the golden-armored Mysterious Underworld powerhouse and the Middle Hall Master burst out in disbelief when the five elements exploded.
They couldn't contain their disbelief. Although this tide of five elements wouldn't inflict much damage on them, it was still a surging tide.
They could sense a huge energy within it. This was something that none of them could underestimate.
"How is this possible?" The Divine Elder sounded despondent, and so did Xuantian Zhaoxing and everyone else.
Xuantian Zhaoxing and the others believed that it should be impossible. However, the impossible had just happened.
It had happened vividly before their eyes.
"This can't be true, right?" Xuantian Zhaoxing's voice trembled as he watched the screen, which was going blurry.
Five-Element Shengzi's voice was even more frantic than everyone else's voices. "How is that possible? How can a five-element force full of vitality collapse? No, this shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have!"
It could be said that Five-Element Shengzi was very confident in his control over five-element laws. He did not believe that the Five-Element nomological laws that he was so proud of could collapse in such a manner.
The Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers would never make such a substandard error. This sort of mistake would be unforgivable if it was really made.
However, no one paid attention to Five-Element Shengzi's cry, as most of them were looking at the Divine Elder.
They all hoped that the Divine Elder could give them an explanation.
The Divine Elder had a composed expression on his face, but he had no idea what exactly was going on. If he had been the one facing the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers, he would have utilized his own boundless divine force to handle them.
He believed that he could beat the crap out of the five brothers as long as he truly wanted to.
However, he had never expected that someone like Luo Yunyang would be able to escape the combined attacks of the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers.
The Divine Elder was actually sure that Luo Yunyang would die the moment he encountered the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers. He believed that he couldn't be rescued even if the Middle Hall Master went all out to save him.
However, as the Divine Elder had pitied Luo Yunyang, the impossible had happened. That indestructible colored halo of Qi was actually collapsing and the massive surging nomological law tide had even caused the Divine Elder to go rigid.
The Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers that were wrapped by the surging energy had to be suffering greatly. However, Luo Yunyang might not necessarily be having a better time.
Nevertheless, this was still a good turn of events for the Human Race, as it implied that Luo Yunyang could suppress the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers to the extent that they couldn't retaliate at all.
Luo Yunyang might have to pay a huge price for doing this. Hence, one could say that neither side had won.
"What is going on?" The Green Mysterious Underworld Being bellowed as he felt his internal organs burning like a furnace.
The mighty energy of the nomological laws had surged into his body, causing an unbearable feeling to spread throughout his special body.
He did not know why he had suffered such a severe injury or why the five colored halos, which had been working perfectly, had collapsed.
However, the green Mysterious Underworld Being had a vague feeling that the problem seemed to originate from his body when the five colored halos collapsed.
Unfortunately, he just couldn't connect the dots, as he hadn't done anything. How could he have been the cause of the problem? This was just ridiculous.
The turbulent five-element nomological laws had caused his body to crack and his combat ability to plummet.
However, he now felt a burning hatred for Luo Yunyang. He did not know why things had turned out like this, but he was certain that Luo Yunyang was the most suspicious person around.
This wouldn't have happened if Luo Yunyang hadn't made a move.
I should escape first! The Green Mysterious Underworld Being consolidated his thoughts and retreated quickly. He intended to escape the surging tide of nomological laws at once.
However, just as he was about to retreat, someone laughed out loud. "Where are you going? Are you trying to escape?"
These words made the Green Wood Mysterious Underworld Being shiver. Before he could react, a huge bell had struck his body heavily.
The massive bell was bronze and made of refined internal universe energy. Under normal circumstances, the Green Mysterious Underworld Being would have been able to shatter the bronze bell with brute force. However, he was having difficulty using his internal powers and he couldn't unleash his own creation laws, as they were entangled with four other nomological laws.
In other words, the 3rd brother of the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers had become a captive. Although he was unwilling to put up with this, he simply couldn't escape from the confines of Luo Yunyang's massive bell just by relying on his own strength.
"What's happening?" The Thick Earth Mysterious Underworld Being roared in rage, as he had sensed that the Green Wood Mysterious Underworld Being had disappeared after the nomological law tide had subsided.
The other three Mysterious Underworld Beings didn't seem very pleased either. It was hard for them to accept this turn of events, seeing as this should have been a sure-fire victory for them right from the start.
"Luo Yunyang must have used some unknown trick." The Mysterious Underworld Being with a completely black physical body asked anxiously, "Where is Green Wood? Has anyone seen Green Wood?"
The Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Beings were considered a single entity to begin with, so they were closer to one another than other Mysterious Underworld beings. Although they were not pleased with the Green Wood Mysterious Underworld Being, they were still anxious when they realized that he had gone missing.
They had been completely careless during this battle. The outcome should have already been set in stone, yet things had suddenly been turned on their head and they were now missing a member.
"Is Green Wood dead?" the Black Water Mysterious Underworld Being asked impatiently.
"We would definitely sense it if Green Wood was dead. Hurry up! We need to chase after Luo Yunyang. Green Wood might be in his hands," the leader of the five, the Thick Earth Mysterious Underworld Being, said urgently. Their purpose for hunting down Luo Yunyang was now to save their brother.
Luo Yunyang was fleeing frantically. He had used his attribute regulator to activate the mighty tide of the nomological laws. Even though he had been prepared for it, the backlash had still shaken his internal universe.
Cracks were currently forming in his first internal universe.
"You captured Green Wood. The other Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers will not let this go." The Floating Butterfly Goddess wasn't significantly hurt, as she was under the protection of Luo Yunyang. Hence, she seemed very calm at the moment.
"Let this go? I'm the one who will not let this matter rest!" Luo Yunyang said as he continued to escape with the Floating Butterfly Goddess wrapped up in his lights.
"They nearly caused us to die here. By capturing only the Green Wood Mysterious Underworld Being, I'm already letting them off too lightly."
Despite saying this, Luo Yunyang was well aware that there was a considerable gap in strength between him and the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Beings. He might not survive if he tried to capture the other four Qi Mysterious Underworld Beings.
Luo Yunyang rushed madly in the direction of the Sealed Sky City. Nothing mattered anymore. He did not know that fights had already broken out in the Sealed Sky City, but he knew that getting to the Sealed Sky City would give him a glimmer of hope.
Luo Yunyang's speed was astonishing, as all his attributes had been converted to speed. It was almost impossible for the Green Wood Mysterious Underworld Being, who was already wasted, to pose any threat to Luo Yunyang. The four other brothers were pursuing him with all their might, but they too had suffered significant injuries.
Thus, they wouldn't go all out to chase after Luo Yunyang.
A short while later, the Sealed Sky City came into view and Luo Yunyang spotted various spatial tears.
There were both large and small spatial tears around. Without any hesitation, Luo Yunyang chose the smallest spatial tear available and made his way towards it.
This small spatial tear wasn't much of an obstacle for Luo Yunyang, who dashed out of it in the blink of an eye.
The Sealed Sky City was right behind him. He had traversed past the Sealed Sky City, which was supposed to act as a moat, by using the spatial tear.
This had actually happened thanks to Jiuzi Xuanming. If that fellow hadn't destroyed the Dual Sky Realm, Luo Yunyang would have gone through the Sealed Sky City before returning to the Human Tribe's territory. That would be a tough task even though he possessed extraordinary ability.
"Yunyang, we're back. Ha ha... We're finally back!" the Floating Butterfly Goddess exclaimed ecstatically. She had already discarded her goddess-like poise and grabbed Luo Yunyang's hand.
This experience had been a total nightmare for the Floating Butterfly Goddess. She had actually believed that she would never be able to return to Xuan Pin Sacred Hall when they had encountered the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers.
Now, everything had changed.
However, just as Luo Yunyang was prepared to breathe a sigh of relief, he sensed many powerful auras heading straight for him.
The weakest of those auras was even stronger than any of the Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers. Although Luo Yunyang had never fought against them before, he knew that he wasn't a match for any of them.
This was terrifying!
What was going on? Had he just escaped a tiger's den only to land in a dragon's pool? The Five Qi Mysterious Underworld Brothers were nothing compared to the approaching auras.
As Luo Yunyang was in a state of shock, someone said, "Luo Yunyang, you're impressive. You can come out now."
Then, Luo Yunyang saw the Middle Hall Master and the others. Actually, Luo Yunyang hadn't recognized the Middle Hall Master, as he had only seen the Left Hall Master before.
The Left Hall Master gave Luo Yunyang a faint nod, lauding his narrow escape. Just as Luo Yunyang was about to speak, someone who was behind the group shouted out loud, "My Lords, please stop him! He captured our brother!"
