Rumble.
The rumbling inside the underground cavity was deafening. The Sea Stone Flower, as large as a football field, rapidly shrank as its irregular coral-like substance continuously broke down and collapsed.
It now looked only half as large as before.
As the labyrinth-building giant beast died, most of the bands of light spread throughout the strata, which had controlled the movement of the ground, also went out.
At this rate, the mobile labyrinth on the floor of the rift should stop functioning, or even collapse.
Just then.
Luo Yan noticed that as the Sea Stone Flower disintegrated, some things that had been blocked and concealed by the coral-like substance gradually came into view.
It turned out that at the bottom of the underground cavity, there was also a small fissure. It was less than a kilometer long, and its widest point was only about three hundred meters.
It was more than fifty meters deep.
Something seemed to be hidden beneath that fissure, giving off a faint blue glow.
Luo Yan immediately piloted Yao Yuan, dodging the disintegrating gray-white coral as he swept toward the bottom of the underground cavity.
As Yao Yuan passed by the sea-urchin-like giant beast, Luo Yan saw curtains of light, like auroras, flowing out of the small fissure below.
At the bottom of the fissure, a large tree with luxuriant branches and leaves was actually growing. From its trunk to its branches, the tree was like glazed crystal, translucent and sparkling.
Beneath the crown, something emitted blue light. The radiance passed through the gaps between the leaves, forming an aurora-like curtain of light at the fissure's exit.

The Great Rift.
Just as Luo Yan had expected, as the Sea Stone Flower disintegrated, the mobile labyrinth on the ground not only stopped moving, but
