The crack is closing from the inside.
The entire space is shrinking, and any creature that cannot find an exit in time will be crushed.
We are not afraid of dying in battle; what we fear is disappearing silently into the closing cracks.
Qian Renxue put down the holy sword, but did not sheath it: "Then you can have other options."
"Retreat back into the rift and tell your commander that this rift is not a passable path for you, and that we can establish a long-term observation point."
The creature was silent for a moment: "They will continue to send people until this passage is cleared."
This is the logic of the abyss.
Ling Feng gripped the Dragon-Coiling Staff tightly: "Then keep blocking."
He took a step forward, and his dragon-patterned staff swept out, striking the creature's side.
The creature didn't block, but was knocked back a few steps. After regaining its balance, it looked down at the shattering scale on its shoulder, then raised its head again: "You can't hold out for long."
It turned around and walked towards the crack.
When he reached the edge of the crack, he didn't look back: "The third batch was just a test."
The fourth batch won't be so polite.
Its figure was swallowed up by the dark red light surging from the crack.
The cracks have returned to calm.
Ling Feng stood still, and could feel the flames inside the crack rearranging themselves.
Gu Yuena walked to the crack, squatted down, and touched the cooling rock at the edge of the crack with her finger.
She didn't turn around: "Some of what that creature said was true."
The abyss is indeed shrinking, and if it closes completely, the crack will be sealed off entirely.
Before that, they will use all their strength to tear open this opening.
Ling Feng said, "Then let's not let it get any wider."
Gu Yuena stood up: "The edges of the crack need to be reinforced."
Defensive runes alone are not enough.
Ling Feng asked, "How much time will it take?"
Gu Yuena said, "Five days."
If no new life crosses the crack within five days, the reinforcement of the edges can be completed.
That night, Ling Feng stood guard at the edge of the crack, his Dragon Staff resting horizontally on his lap, his gaze fixed on the crack that was slowly pulsating.
Qian Renxue sat beside him, the Holy Sword at her side, and neither of them spoke.
In the distance, Jin Chen was laying a new layer of mineral powder along the edge of the crack. The Trident of Poseidon was stuck in the ground beside him. His movements were slow, as if he was checking in his own way that every section of the edge had been covered.
Di Tian also patrolled the edge of the crack. He walked slowly, stopping at each place to touch the edge of the crack with his own aura, as if to confirm the changes in the width of the crack.
When he reached Ling Feng's location, he didn't stop, but said, "The Star Dou Great Forest is ready to provide support at any time."
Ling Feng said, "It's not necessary right now."
Di Tian nodded and continued walking forward.
On the evening of the fifth day, the reinforcement of the crack's edge was completed.
Gu Yuena walked around the crack to make sure that every edge was covered.
She stopped directly in front of the crack and felt the flames inside slowly pulsating again.
The dark red light at the edge of the crack was brightening, as if it were confirming the new boundary position.
Ling Feng stood beside her, holding the Panlong Staff, and felt that the outline forming inside the crack was more stable than before.
He didn't speak, but simply adjusted the position of his grip on the stick, as if he were confirming in his own way that he was still there.
On the day the fourth wave of the Abyss Legion arrived, the wind at the edge of the God Realm stopped.
After the wind stopped, the air became even heavier. The airflow that had been slowly flowing along the edge of the gray platform seemed to be pressed down by something, no longer moving, and quietly suspended in place, as if waiting for some kind of confirmation.
Ling Feng stood in front of the crack, holding the Panlong Staff in his hand. He could feel that the flames gathering inside the crack were no longer the tentative pulses they had before, but were forming a more stable and continuous rhythm.
He didn't turn around, but asked, "How long can the ore powder on the edge last?" Jin Chen's voice came from the side: "Hard to say."
If the crack simply contracts on its own, it can last a long time.
But if the opponent keeps pushing, then it's hard to say.
Qian Renxue stood beside him and said, "Then we need to stabilize this opening before they push over."
"The dark purple halo at the edge of the crack began to become uneven, with some areas brighter than the surrounding areas, as if it were being pushed from the inside."
Gu Yuena's voice came from the other side of the crack: "They are gathering strength."
This wave will be bigger than any previous one.
I can feel the energy gathering inside the crack, and its density increasing.
Ling Feng asked, "How big is it?" Gu Yuena replied, "At least the sum of the first three batches."
Moreover, one of them, which was moving towards the edge of the crack, was much larger than the previous creatures.
Di Tian stepped out of the shadows behind him: "Then we need more manpower here."
"The crack was torn open, a gaping hole far wider than ever before splitting open from the center to both sides, the rocks at the edges making a soft cracking sound."
Chapter 348 Slaughtering until no one in the world dares to claim supremacy
What emerged from the opening was no longer light, but a thicker substance, like a dark purple slurry transitioning from a liquid to a solid state.
Ling Feng gripped the Dragon-Panning Staff tightly: "Here it comes."
"Qian Renxue's holy sword has been drawn: "The number is more than expected."
The aura gathering inside the rift is no longer just at the exploration level; it's closer to a formal organization.
Jin Chen, carrying the Trident of Poseidon, said, "They really think highly of us."
"As the second abyssal creature burst forth from the crack, Qian Renxue's holy sword was already at its front."
She didn't wait for it to regain its footing before cutting directly into the gap between its shoulders and neck with swift and decisive movements.
Jin Chen approached from the side, his trident sweeping out: "There are more behind, I can feel them lining up waiting for that opening to widen a bit more."
"Gu Yuena's voice came from the side of the crack: "They are moving outwards at the same time."
There are too many of them; it's better to guide them than to block them.
Ling Feng bypassed the several abyssal creatures blocking his way and rushed directly towards the edge of the crack.
Qian Renxue called out from behind him, "It's too risky for you to go and plug the crack alone."
Ling Feng didn't turn around: "Help me block those behind me."
"Di Tian's voice came from another direction: "The support from the Star Dou Great Forest is ready. When do we need it?" Ling Feng steadied himself at the edge of the crack: "We need it now."
Jin Chen called out from the side, "Senior Gu Yuena, how long will it take for that band of light at the edge of the crack to completely close?" Gu Yuena's voice came from the side of the crack, "Soon, but it will take some more time to stabilize the outer edge and recalibrate the edge of this opening."
Ling Feng, don't loosen your grip on the Panlong Staff. New thrust is gathering inside that crack, trying to resist the tightening band of light.
Ling Feng felt the resistance coming from the edge of the crack was getting stronger: "It's pushing."
"The enormous abyssal creature finally reached the edge of the rift. Its head emerged from the rift, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble slightly, and mineral dust from the edge slid down from the cracks."
Jin Chen exclaimed, "It's huge! This is bigger than all the previous ones combined!" Ling Feng didn't retreat. He pulled the Panlong Staff back from the edge of the crack, spun it in mid-air, and smashed it towards the side of the creature's head that had just been revealed.
The creature paused for a moment, but it did not retreat. Its claws had already gripped the rocks at the edge of the crack, and it was pulling its body outward.
Jin Chen's voice came from the side: "I can't reach its front paws; it's using the weight of its entire body to pull outwards."
Ling Feng said, "Di Tian, use that dark golden light to push its side."
"Di Tian's voice came from the other side of the crack: "It's ready."
"Di Tian's figure appeared on the other side of the crack. Dark golden light condensed in his hand and was then pushed into the opening at the edge of the crack."
Light burst forth inside the crack, and the rate at which the crack's edges were expanding was slowing down.
The creature's forepaws loosened, its body slid backward, and disappeared into the depths of the crack. The opening finally began to close, and the light of the mineral powder re-condensed at the edge of the crack. A silvery-white band of light was slowly stitching together the tear that had been torn open for too long.
Ling Feng straightened up and felt the flowing power within his body slowly receding, but he did not leave the edge of the crack.
Qian Renxue walked to his side, the holy sword already sheathed. She glanced at the crack that was slowly closing: "It's sealed for now, but not for long."
Ling Feng nodded: "I know."
When they come again, they will be stronger.
We need more time to prepare, and they won't stop on the other side of that crack either.
After the rift closed, the gray platform at the edge of the divine realm returned to a brief period of calm.
The silvery-white band of light was still slowly flowing along the edge of the crack, as if it were confirming in its own way that the opening had indeed been sealed.
Ling Feng stood in front of the crack, his Dragon Staff hanging low. He could feel the flames inside the crack slowly rearranging themselves, as if adjusting their position for the next impact.
Qian Renxue walked to his side, the holy sword already sheathed. She glanced at the slowly healing crack and said, "It's temporarily sealed."
Ling Feng said, "It won't be long."
He turned around and looked at Gu Yuena, "How long can that band of light last?"
Gu Yuena walked over from the side of the crack and stopped in front of him: "If the other side stops pushing, it can last for about ten days."
If the other side continues to exert pressure, it might be shortened to five days.
Jin Chen walked over carrying the Trident of Poseidon: "And then in five days?"
Gu Yuena said, "It needs to be reinforced again in five days."
Ling Feng said, "Then let's use these five days to prepare."
Inside the tent of the Fourth Legion commander of the Abyss, Nagarus stood before the map that was darkening.
The dark purple dot marking the location of the crack on the map is moving slowly, and the color of its edges is getting darker than before.
