A terrifying aura swept across the entire plaza like a tangible tide. The air instantly grew thick and oppressive, and even the flickering Space Cracks seemed to freeze for a moment.
Qin Chuan's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he activated the teleportation ability of [Moment of Utmost Darkness] again, trying to get away from the center of the plaza.
However, this time, the teleportation failed!

A nonhuman roar erupted from the dark vortex. The sound waves became tangible black shockwaves that swept in all directions!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The remaining broken walls and ruins around the plaza
