"Refreshing!"
Yang Lingtian suddenly opened his eyes. Two streaks of Chaos Divine Light pierced through the void.
He clenched his fists, sensing the explosive power within his body. An immensely satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Yet in that brief instant when he broke through two realms at once, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
Crack... crack-crack...
The entire Abyss of Return began to tremble violently.
The sky was shattering, and the earth was collapsing.
The aura of death and Demonic Qi that had originally filled the heavens and earth were dissipating at an astonishing speed.
"What is this..." Yang Lingtian's heart stirred, and he instantly understood.
The fragment of the Chaos Bead he had fused with was far more than a mere fragment.
It was also the final core force sustaining the existence of this Ancient Divine-Demon Battlefield—the entire secret realm of the Abyss of Return.
Now that he had taken the core away,
this ancient secret realm, which had existed for endless years and buried countless gods and devils,
had finally reached its end. It was about to collapse!
Boom!
A tremendous boom that resounded throughout heaven and earth rang out, as though the entire world were letting out a mournful cry.
The firmament of the Abyss of Return completely shattered, revealing the cold, silent starry expanse of the universe outside.
Enormous spatial rifts appeared one after another, like the vicious maws of ferocious demons, devouring everything in their path.
An irresistible, vast and boundless force of repulsion
instantly acted upon every cultivator still alive within the Abyss of Return.
"What's going on?"
"The sky is collapsing! The secret realm is going to be destroyed!"
"Run!"
The countless cultivators who had been searching for treasures and fighting to the death all revealed expressions of utter horror at this moment.
