Jiang Jingyi had made up her mind and was preparing to leave.
Suddenly, her steps halted. She raised her eyes and saw that the flowing expanse of space overhead had somehow split open.
The clash of wills between the two had still affected the entire upper layer of space.
"Not good..."
Rumble—!
Boom—!
Space throughout the Immortal Island Secret Realm began to collapse. Even mountains tens of thousands of feet high were ground into countless particles of dust beneath that immense pressure.
"Not good! The secret realm seems to be collapsing. Retreat at once!"
"How could this happen? Venerable Ji and that Female Emperor are fighting—do they not know they'll get everyone killed?"
"Idiot! They have hidden spaces to shelter in, but our magic artifacts may not be able to withstand spatial collapse!"
"Only some people can be sacrificed!"
Kong An's gaze turned ruthless as he looked at the cultivators fleeing in all directions. He brought out a magic artifact resembling an octopus, from which Purple Light burst forth.
The cultivators touched by the purple glow seemed to have had their pause buttons pressed. They fell straight to the ground.
The insect shell gradually enlarged, then instantly swallowed several people nearby.
To the naked eye, it looked as though they had vanished in an instant.
This was a survival method of an ancient creature. When danger arrived, it could shrink its body by countless times, down to the size of a speck of dust, to evade natural disasters and man-made calamities.
It was later refined into a magic artifact and could serve as a temporary shelter.
The spatial contraction was only temporary. It would not flatten everything completely into a pancake!
They only needed to evade this wave of collapse and wait for space to begin expanding again!
