Death… And Me

Chapter 1555 Implosion

”Whatʼs happening?!”

”How the hell would I know?”

”Clinbay! You guys are doing it, right?”

Clinbay, who was as confused as everyone else, immediately shook his head, saying, ”Itʼs not us. Our formation has already exploded.”

Vaz and the others confirmed Clinbayʼs words. ”Itʼs true. You can go and check our tower if you want. Weʼre not the ones doing it. Have Liman bring you all to the formation site and check it for yourselves.”

Some really wanted to do exactly that. However, the Upside Down Worldʼs earthquake only intensified even more. Anyone who couldnʼt fly even had trouble standing.

Rean and Roan obviously knew that it had nothing to do with the purging organization. ”What the hell is happening?”

Celis, on their side, couldnʼt help but ask, ”Could it be that Havek lied, and now heʼs trying to escape?”

However, Sister Orbʼs voice echoed in their minds at that moment. [Itʼs not Havek. I canʼt tell exactly whatʼs happening. Nevertheless, the epicenter of this earthquake is located opposite the location of Havekʼs sect. Itʼs close to the south tail end of this tube-like world.]

Sister Orb wasnʼt the only one to notice that. The high-level experts outside the tower also noticed that the origin of the trembling was far away from the Purging Tower.

”Itʼs coming from the south!”

”Indeed! I can tell that with my Earth Element Affinity.”

”What do we do? Do we stay here?”

Clinbay was the first one to react, saying, ”I have no clue whatʼs happening, but I wonʼt just stay here and do nothing. If you guys want, go ahead and enter our tower to check the broken formation with Liman. I donʼt care.” Soon after, he looked at his organization members. ”Weʼre heading after this phenomenon. Something big must be happening south from here for it to be able to affect the entire Upside Down World.”

Immediately, Clinbay took flight and flew south. Naturally, Levid, Vaz, and everyone else did the same, quickly flying after him.

As for the experts who were planning to enter the tower, they gave up on the idea almost instantly. Pretty much all the high-level cultivators and demon beasts of the purging organization left together. It might just be a trick to fool everyone else, but the chances were too low. ”Iʼm going after them!”

”Me too!”

”I definitely wonʼt stay still here.”

Suddenly, a Demon Bird flew out of the white tower, flying in the direction of the epicenter as well. Naturally, that was the Demon Bird Rean and Roan used when they went to visit Havek. Since they knew the organization had nothing to do with the earthquake, they had to verify what was happening. Besides, the systemʼs quest hasnʼt concluded yet, so the risk was still there.

In the end, only a few middle-level experts stayed behind, ordered by the other powersʼ leaders to enter the tower and investigate. As for the leaders themselves and other high-level cultivators and demon beasts, they all flew or ran south.

Liman, of course, was within the group that gave up checking the tower and flew south. Since Vaz was within the group that flew south, he was pretty sure that the shooting formation couldnʼt be activated even if its destruction was a lie. However, as he flew away, he noticed the twins and Celis on the back of the Demon Bird. ʼIsnʼt that the kids Levid introduced to the project? I believe the white-haired one knew a lot of formations or something like that.ʼ

He pondered over it for a bit, eventually deciding that, instead of flying past the twins, he landed on the back of their Demon Bird.

Celis, of course, noticed that. ”What do you want?”

Rean and Roan looked behind as well. They obviously noticed Limanʼs presence with their Divine Sense bending skill. ”Arenʼt you that elder that told everyone about the formation?”

Liman nodded in response. ”Thatʼs me. Anyway, Iʼm bringing you with me to the south. If you go with this demon bird here, you will take too long to arrive compared to the others.”

Reanʼs group was confused to hear that. ”Why would you help us out of nowhere?”

Liman then pointed at Rean and replied, ”Heʼs the one who has the best knowledge about formations, right? Something to do with being part of the Sacred Undersea Kingdom. I donʼt know whatʼs causing our world to shake like this, but I bet it has something to do with a formation. Itʼll be better to have you by my side in case I donʼt know what to do.” In the end, Liman simply wanted to protect himself. Having Rean with him would add some guarantee to that.

Well, the twins also wanted to know what was happening. Not to mention that Roan couldnʼt feel that Liman was lying. ”Fine, letʼs go.”

Celis then grabbed the twins with his vines and allowed Liman to hold him with his Divine Energy. Liman didnʼt waste time and used his Spatial Powers to flash into the distance, quickly leaving the demon bird behind.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

As everyone flew south, the Upside Down World around them began to crack. One canʼt forget that they were inside a world that looked like a giant tube, so the cracks started to spread both up and down. However, what really caught the twinsʼ attention was the geysers of Chaotic Divine Energy and Elements coming out of those cracks. The beings who were caught by them were killed almost instantly, leaving only those at the Elemental Transformation Realm and above to be able to resist it.

Rean immediately understood what was happening. ”This world is imploding!”

”What?!” Celis, Roan, and Liman were taken aback. ”How do you know?”

Rean then explained, ”Look at the cracks where Divine Energy mixed with Elements are coming out. Thatʼs the barrier that prevents everyone from escaping. All the barrierʼs energy is flowing inside, which means the barrier or something outside the barrier is pressing against us.”

Suddenly, they noticed the air itself beginning to press against their bodies. ”The pressure is increasing because of it as well...”
