Time slowly passed. At the very heart of the dust-shrouded area, a huge depression resembling a sinkhole appeared.
It was a pit like an abyss on the ocean floor. If the surrounding ground had not also collapsed, it would probably have left behind a colossal underground cavern, just like the subterranean abyss Qin Fengming and the two others had fallen into before.
The collapse of the surrounding land did not stop. Instead, it spread outward at an utterly terrifying speed.
Thunderous booms resounded, the earth trembled, dust swept across the land, and heaven and earth seemed to turn upside down.

Meanwhile, the two Qin Fengming and Qingyu, inside the Chaos mist, knew even less that a terrifying scene of heaven and earth being overturned was unfolding in a distant place.
Time passed, both slowly and swiftly. In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had gone by.
One day, a frightened voice suddenly rang in the ears of He Xuan and the others as they meditated in seclusion. "Fellow Daoists, look quickly!

The voice had barely sounded when everyone immediately opened their eyes. Their divine senses rapidly spread toward the distance to investigate.
In an instant, their expressions changed drastically. Their figures flashed, and they all hovered in midair. Only Immortal Fairy Xu Ling remained motionless in the water mist.
"It isn't vicious creatures fighting. It's a ground collapse!
