Bai Ye nodded slowly. Possessing spatial powers, he was more sensitive to the anomalies of the passage.
The current spatial rift was like a piece of tempered glass cracked in a net-like pattern. Although shattered, it was still connected, retaining its resilience.
If it opened soon, could I go in directly and return to the Taitus Continent for revenge? But… would master let me go back?
Moreover, once the passage here opened, this world might face a great disaster.
At that time, Master's ranch, Gou Dan, and Xiao Fan Tuan…
For a moment, Lidia's initially excited expression turned solemn. As she stood in a daze, Bai Ye beside her suddenly made a move.
Did Master intend to seal the passage? This was Lidia's first thought. She knew Bai Ye could control spatial power. She felt a sense of anxious worry, yet also a subtle sense of relief deep within, a contradictory feeling.
Bai Ye, however, had already raised his hand. The surrounding magic elements churned violently, causing space itself to deform and twist.
Powerful spatial energy was being applied by Bai Ye to the shattered passage opening. The rift's strange light intensified, even emitting a kaleidoscope of colors.
Boom—Boom boom!!!
Muffled thuds echoed, not from one direction but from all around, as if exploding in three dimensions. Giant whirlpools churned within the lake, the water surging violently…
Bai Ye's spatial power was effective on the passage's rift, and the effect was evident as the rift rapidly expanded. If it continued like this, the passage would truly open completely before long!
Seeing this, Lidia was truly astonished. What was Master’s current strength level?
This was a question even Bai Ye himself was not entirely sure about.
He hadn't gone all out since elevating his three magic arts to advanced levels. The "giant octopus" monster in the Korean sea domain last time, despite its strength, was barely an A-rank. It was a casual matter to obliterate, offering no measure of his current power.
Lidia's expression grew more complex. Suddenly, she transformed back into her human form, her small face etched with worry as she stood behind Bai Ye. Even in human form, her aquatic mobility was unimpeded.
She bit her delicate, rosy lips, seeming to have made a great decision, and called out, "Brother~ How about we seal the passage?"
"There are many powerful monsters over there. They might destroy our home."
Bai Ye did not stop his actions, merely slowly turned his head to glance at her, making Lidia even more anxious.
"Brother~ I'm serious!"
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. Lidia was able to temporarily set aside her hatred and warn him. She had, after all, been willing to become his slave just for the chance of revenge.
"Don't be afraid!" Bai Ye chuckled softly, his deep eyes radiating unquestionable confidence.
"If you happen to run into your enemy, Brother will help you get revenge…"
Lidia blinked in astonishment, her large eyes widening in shock. Her enemy was a demon king-level monster! Even though she had now advanced to Disaster Class, and was still in her youth with terrifying potential, truly killing a demon king remained a distant prospect!
"Brother~" Lidia felt a warmth bloom in her heart.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, just as Lidia was moved, the spatial rift's vibrations intensified greatly. A 'clanging' sound, like massive steel breaking, emanated from the various fissures.
The fissures within the passage stopped expanding and cracking.
"A powerful monster is coming out!" Lidia exclaimed, pointing at the rift at the lakebed. A colossal and terrifying figure was already faintly visible within the rift passage.
Muffled, intermittent roars of pain could be heard. The spatial rift had inflicted immeasurable damage upon it.
Lidia’s expression became vigilant, and black lightning crackled from her small hands, the sizzling arcs making one’s scalp tingle!
Bai Ye frowned. It wasn't due to fear of the terrifying monster charging out, but rather the rapid consumption of magic elements around the spatial rift as the monster emerged. The rift stopped expanding and even showed signs of closing.
Did traversing spatial rifts affect the stability of the passage?
Does this mean I can't enter this passage until it's fully open?
Bai Ye pondered.
As the monstrous silhouette within the rift grew closer, a pair of wings blotted out the sky – it was a bird-like monster.
Suddenly, the terrifying avian monster transformed into a human silhouette, preparing to charge out with full force. Lidia urgently said, "Brother, he's coming!"
