Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 267 Space Collapse
"boom!"

Finally, with a muffled thud, the dragon's massive body crashed down, its enormous form slamming heavily into the purple mist, stirring up waves of deathly energy. After convulsing violently a few times, it suddenly exploded, spewing out purplish-black deathly energy like a burst dam.

"Finally... it's solved."

Watching the dragon gradually dissipate, Shi An breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly.

But it would have been better if he hadn't loosened up. As soon as he did, he felt his body sway, and he barely managed to steady himself by plunging the golden halberd in his hand into the ground.

At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, and there was still blood left at the corner of his mouth. His divine energy was almost exhausted, and every breath he took was accompanied by excruciating pain.

Shi Yi, standing to the side, was also panting heavily. The light in his double pupils had dimmed considerably, and his clothes had long been torn to shreds by the dragon's attack, revealing deep wounds that exposed bone, from which blood was gushing out.

As for Yunxi, she was even more shaky.

The purple glow surrounding her had long since dissipated, her hair was disheveled and stuck to her face, and the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth stained the front of her clothes.

Shi An, Shi Yi, and Yun Xi stood there, panting heavily. They all had injuries of varying degrees. The battle had been extremely intense, and even with their strength, they had almost exhausted all their energy.

"What exactly is going on with this dragon?"

Shi An was puzzled, but he endured the excruciating pain and kept his eyes fixed on the dissipating dragon.

He had a vague feeling that the dragon might not have been an accident, but rather something that someone had deliberately done. He just couldn't figure out who it was or why.
"boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from ahead, and then the entire purple space began to tremble violently.

"what happened again?"

Shi An and the other two exchanged glances, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in their eyes.

You must understand, they had just gone through a thrilling life-or-death battle, and their bodies were already exhausted. But this purple space seemed to have no intention of letting them go, and new anomalies began to appear.

"Boom!"

The tremors grew more and more intense, as if countless giant beasts were running wildly underground, or as if a catastrophe was about to strike.

The surrounding purple mist was violently shaken and churned, like waves whipped up by a gale, surging towards the three of them wave after wave. The deathly aura contained within the mist grew increasingly dense, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"There's a problem deep inside; this space is about to collapse!"

Moreover, through his double pupils, Shi Yi saw that deep within the purple mist, mysterious and powerful rays of light were shooting into the sky, interspersed with various ancient and complex runes, seemingly interpreting some supreme law.

We must get out of here immediately!

Shi An also sensed the urgency of the situation. He endured the pain in his body, helped Yun Xi up, and shouted, "Follow me, rush out along the direction of the patterns!"

Having said that, he charged ahead in one direction, the golden halberd in his hand emitting a faint light, clearing a path for them.

Shi Yi followed closely behind, his double pupils constantly alert to any potential dangers around him. At the same time, a long spear had appeared in his hand at some unknown time, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

"boom!"

Not long after they started, the entire space suddenly trembled violently. Then, a huge crack spread from the center of the ground, like a giant serpent with its jaws wide open, devouring the three of them.

"quick!"

Seeing this, the three of them disregarded everything else and immediately exerted all their strength.

If it weren't for the enclosed space preventing Shi An from using his spatial abilities, he would have already teleported away with the two of them. Thus, the three of them, enduring their injuries and supporting each other, struggled forward towards the source of the light.

What they didn't notice was that with each step they took, the mysterious patterns beneath their feet emitted a strange light, seemingly both preventing them from getting closer and guiding them forward.

As they drew closer, the light grew increasingly dazzling, almost blinding them.

At the same time, powerful energy fluctuations emanated from the light, impacting their bodies and making their already exhausted physiques even more unbearable.

"hold onto!"

Faced with this, Shi An could only grit his teeth and persevere while encouraging Yun Xi and Shi Yi.

Because if they give up now, they are likely to be completely swallowed up by this collapsing space.

Finally, after another arduous journey, they arrived at the source of the light.

Before them stood a massive stone gate, radiating a soft yet powerful light.

The stone gate was covered with various mysterious runes and patterns, echoing the mysterious patterns on the ground, as if summoning them.

"The way out might be behind this stone door."

Looking at the massive stone gate ahead, Shi Yi spoke softly, his voice weak but filled with determination.

Shi An naturally agreed with this. Not only did he agree, but he also gripped the golden battle halberd with both hands, activated the last of his divine power, and slashed fiercely at the stone gate.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the golden halberd collided with the stone gate, bursting into a dazzling light.

However, the stone gate remained unmoved; only the runes flickered even more intensely.

Seeing that even Shi An couldn't budge the stone gate, Yun Xi frowned and muttered to herself, "Is there really no way out...?"

"try again!"

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a low moan of resentment. Turning her head, she saw that Shi An had once again wielded his golden halberd and launched a fierce attack on the stone gate.

Upon seeing this, she was startled and immediately mobilized the remaining divine light within her body to launch an attack alongside Shi An.

As for Shi Yi, he was not idle either, and he also used his supernatural powers to assist Shi An in attacking the stone gate.

"Boom!"

In an instant, various lights flashed and energy raged.

Time passed slowly, and whether it was the effect of the three people's attack or the approach of the crack, the stone door, which was originally as solid as a fortress, suddenly emitted a strong light, which grew stronger and stronger, and the flashing of the runes became more and more rhythmic.

Finally, with a loud "boom," the stone door slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful and mysterious aura rushed out from behind the stone gate, startling all three of them. Without hesitation, they supported each other and stepped through the stone gate.

Behind the stone gate lies a completely new world.

The sun shines brightly here, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, a stark contrast to the deathly and dangerous space we had just left.
