"Real World?" Li Xiao's expression changed. "Right! That's right, if he wanted to destroy the world, he could only go to the Real World."
"Damn it, that despicable bastard deliberately left behind a clone to stall for time. He actually left the Heart Abyss long ago. For all we know, he's already slaughtering people in the Real World..."
Rumble!!
A deafening boom suddenly rang out, cutting Li Xiao off.
The elevator shook violently, its dim blue lights flashing madly as if an earthquake had struck.
Everyone hurriedly steadied themselves.
"This is bad, the elevator's going to collapse!"
Little Nine's alarm sounded immediately afterward.
Her eyes flashed with an eerie red light, while her originally sweet voice became a cold electronic tone.
"Warning! Warning! Violent changes are occurring within the Heart Abyss. Concentration levels are rising abnormally!"
Clang!
The elevator abruptly halted for an instant, followed by a powerful sensation of weightlessness as everyone fell along with it.
Clang—!!
Brilliant gilded sword light shot forth, instantly slicing through the elevator.
The group flew directly out of the elevator and headed toward the exit above.
When they returned to the surface, they found the entire research institute in chaos. The once-sturdy walls were continuously cracking, while countless fissures had split open across the ground.
The earthquake continued, growing increasingly violent.
Large chunks of the ceiling fell away as the warning lights flashed frantically.
A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Ye's eyes. Having attacked this research institute before, he naturally knew just how sturdy this place was.
Even a level-ten earthquake should never have been able to crack it.
Just as he was wondering about it, a dense series of piercing whistles came from the distance.
Tyrant and the others came hurtling over, each carrying several people of the Civilized Era.
