Chapter 995: Chapter 995

As they spoke, cracks abruptly appeared on the earth, and the whole world seemed to be shaking. A destructive force was brewing beneath the sky and earth, unmistakable even without close attention.

"I don’t know what’s happening to this world, but could it be that the world fragment is about to collapse?"

The words of Lin Yucha reminded Du You. "Strange, we haven’t used any highly destructive skills."

"Forget it, let’s not dwell on it, we need to get out of here." Without figuring out the answer, they must return to think it over, as the place was currently very dangerous. Du You immediately opened a spatial channel, and in an instant, he and the two sisters were sucked in.

Just before Du You was drawn in, he suddenly glanced back and saw a horrifying scene. The land where they were just standing cracked in two from the middle. In the pond where the Shadow Dragon had emerged, it seemed like something was moving up and down. The source of the destructive power seemed to be erupting from there.

However, Du You no longer had time to see what happened next, as they were all absorbed into the spatial channel.

As they moved through the spatial channel, the three were pushed along helplessly, able to do nothing but watch as the surrounding channel burst with light and trembled as if it could fracture at any moment.

No, it wasn’t as if, Du You looked back and suddenly saw in horror that the entrance to the channel behind them had collapsed. Immediately after, the channel began to rapidly collapse from the entrance toward them.

Streams of spatial fragmentation force spread, even the spatial channel couldn’t withstand it; such power was simply beyond their capability to endure. Whether it was himself or the two sisters, they would face certain death if caught in this situation. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

But they had no choice, as within the spatial channel, they were always bound by a force pushing them back at a steady pace. This force was both a protection and a restriction.

Unable to break through this force, the feeling of being resigned to fate surged in Du You’s heart. He deeply regretted if he had known this would happen, why didn’t he just leave quickly instead of wasting time with words. Du You silently vowed, if he survived this time, when entering such dangerous places in the future, he would not stay for an extra minute.

No, not even for a second, he would leave immediately.

Behind them, the space storm grew more violent, starting from a spark-like existence to becoming a boundless tsunami chasing them, accelerating rapidly.

Just as the spatial storm was about to engulf him, the exit finally appeared ahead. The force restraining them pushed Du You and the two sisters out of the exit.

The three of them almost simultaneously ran forward until they realized they had emerged in an underground chamber beneath their own city, only stopping at the end of the chamber. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.

Indeed, even with their current strength, they were not without fear. On the contrary, the stronger their powers, the more they could sense their helplessness, like ants compared to such a colossal force.

Looking back at the rapidly shrinking spatial channel, it seemed the danger was past. But just at that moment, a force suddenly blasted open the channel, causing a loud explosion in the room.

The next moment, the spatial channel completely closed, seemingly overwhelmed by a force stronger than the spatial storm. The space storm was fully blocked behind, but the force that had erupted before wasn’t completely stopped.

Powerful vibrations spread around, and the chamber’s walls were instantly filled with countless fine cracks, on the ceiling, the floor, everywhere. Three of the largest cracks nearly split the chamber in two.

This chamber was made of special materials mixed with special alloys. To inflict such terrible scars, not even Du You in his current state dared say he could easily do it. The power that had erupted so suddenly had surpassed his full-strength attack—the aftermath alone was this.

If they had been a little slower earlier, they wouldn’t have survived.

"It’s terrifying, this is the power of world collapse. No wonder they say fragment worlds are incredibly dangerous, it’s true," said Lin Yucha with rare fear, having been really scared by the ordeal.

With a grave face, Du You agreed, "Yeah, I didn’t expect that the shattering of a world fragment could affect the spatial channel. If a whole world collapses, that power would be unimaginable."

The collapse of worlds was not impossible—although Du You didn’t know if any Outer Worlds had been destroyed, collapses in the Derived World happened from time to time. Just imagine, even the collapse of a Derived World would probably be tremendously powerful.

"Alright, we’ve safely returned this time. Let’s rest for a few days and then inquire about what to do next. The next semester is about to start, and if there’s nothing important, we don’t need to attend class," Du You said.

As he spoke, Du You also opened his personal space. He had brought back many things this time, and there were lots of materials to process quickly.

On the panel, advancements in skills had also improved over this period.

Advanced Skills: High-Level Dark Magic Power (Tier 33), High-Level Spiritual Perception (Tier 33), Magic Power Stability (Tier 31), Mysterious Revival (Tier 32), Spiritual Shield (Tier 33), Dark Element Affinity (Tier 34), Night Body (Tier 35), Magic Power Nebula (Tier 33), Skill Handyman (Tier 31)

Unknowingly, Du You had made significant progress in his advanced skills. He then checked the two sisters’ skill panels, noticing substantial advancements in their skills as well.

Advanced Skills: Intermediate Demon Extermination Power (Tier 34), Focus and Peace (Tier 32), Rapid Shooting (Tier 32), Mysterious Revival (Tier 33), Magic Power Nebula (Tier 33), High-Level Spiritual Perception (Tier 32), Spiritual Shield (Tier 32), Locked On (Tier 30, Max Level), Magic Power Stability (Tier 31), Skill Handyman (Tier 31)

Looking at the panel, his mood finally calmed down a bit. After a while, the personnel from his domain arrived at the warehouse to collect the things Du You had brought back. The rest of the work would be handled by them.

Taken by an intense fire within, fueled by the aftereffects of his Dragon Clan bloodline mixed with the dragon’s blood, combined with the recent scare, Du You felt somewhat out of control. "Come on, let’s go clear our heads."

"Wait, wait a minute, let us take a bath first."
