Ji Li was the first to flee.
Even his legs trembled as he ran. An inexplicable sensation that the sky was about to collapse nearly swallowed him whole.
The annihilating emotions here seemed countless times stronger than before, yet also seemed unchanged.
Ji Li could only dismiss it as an illusion. The Skin Peeling Ghost was still guarding its original spot, seemingly exceptionally concerned with the so-called Door of Destiny, showing no other reaction.
Yet the dreadful feeling that The Sky Is About to Change had already filled him with uncontrollable panic.
Perhaps because Ji Li and Heavenly Sea shared some indescribable connection, he was more sensitive to these things. In any case, he became even more resolute in his choice.
The Heterochromatic Eyes were gone as well. He fled toward the breach without encountering any obstruction, and everything seemed to go smoothly.
But Ji Li's unease only grew more apparent, so severe that he could no longer tell whether he was afraid, or whether the Ghost Heart Li Huayi had given him was afraid.
The breach was already within reach.
Yet Heavenly Sea remained as it had been.
The void there had not changed much from before, only grown thinner, signaling that the world beyond the breach had begun to show signs of shattering.
Fate was collapsing.
Ji Li had already pulled out the Bronze Ancient Coffin and leaped down through the breach. He needed to climb into the coffin to avoid being smashed to pieces by the fall.
He was fewer than three steps from the breach. Behind him, all was calm; the Skin Peeling Ghost had yet to act, and Heavenly Sea had vanished without a trace.
This once again showed that the Door of Destiny seemed to stand on a level even higher than Heavenly Sea.
