Lin Wu was quite startled after hearing the loud crack and had a bad feeling about it.
"What the hell was that!?" Lin Wu said as he looked around feeling a bit scared.
~CRACK!~
"Damn, system scan the entire area!" Lin Wu ordered as he started withdrawing his newly refined spirit sense.
His joy of finally succeeding was doused by the fear that Lin Wu feeling right now. He had suspicions about the sound and now it had reached its peak.
~Ding~
——
ERROR!
UNKNOWN VARIABLES DETECTED!: Host is advised to leave immediately!
——
"What! You mean leave the ring? What's happening exactly?" Lin Wu questioned feeling unsure.
Still, he started changing his form back into the spear and got ready to leave. Even if he was unsure, he was not stupid enough to ignore the system's warning.
~WEENG~
A strange sound was heard when Lin Wu was midway through to his transformation. A different kind of energy suddenly hit Lin Wu and knocked him to another corner.
"DAMN THAT HURT! What is happening?" Lin Wu yelled as he started healing the new cracks that had appeared on his body.
This time he had been inflicted with the most cracks, even more than from the spirit qi explosion. It was evident that whatever this energy was it was much stronger than normal spirit qi.
~ALERT!~
——
UNKNOWN ENERGY DETECTED!: Highly volatile
——
"That's it, I'm leaving!" Lin Wu declared as he activated the virtual ring interface and triggered the option to leave the ring. But then…
"Huh? Why isn't it working?" Lin Wu questioned feeling confused.
~ERROR!~
——
VIRTUAL RING INTERFACE: Corruption detected! Functions offline!
——
"What the F*ck! System get me out of here right now! Use any method possible," Lin Wu ordered with urgency.
~Ding~
——
RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS: Checking for alternatives.
DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETE: Alternative found.
INITIATING: Brute force attack.
——
Lin Wu then felt a strong wave of energy that was comparable to the previous one coming from his body. The wave of energy seemed to have hit the borders of the ring and a white opening had appeared there. Lin Wu could feel the air coming from it and knew this was his escape route.
He jumped out of the opening, and it closed behind him.
***
Shirong had been calmly cultivating all these past days and had a rather rude awakening. He was knocked off from the place he was sitting in and fell to the side.
"WHO DARES!" He shouted in rage.
But when he looked for a culprit, he found none. Instead, he saw the green crystal spear lying near the place he was sitting at. He then felt the spatial storage ring on his hand starting to tremble.
His expression turned confused for a moment before becoming shocked.
~Cling~Cling~Cling~
The sound of the ring hitting against the floor was heard as Shirong threw it away. But sadly, that was not enough.
~WEENG~
A high pitched sound came from the ring as it broke apart and turned into dust. But not before a silver streak of energy was shot out from it.
~Woosh~
The silver streak of energy went upwards and destroyed the roof in the process. But the destruction was quite systematic, it was as if the roof was atomized as no residue of it was left behind from where the silver energy passed.
~Sheng~
~Tear~
The silver energy struck something in the air as if it had met some kind of a barrier. Then a tearing sound came and an irregular black line appeared in the air.
"No… it can't be!" Shirong uttered, feeling speechless.
The irregular black line started expanding and reached the diameter of a meter within a second. A strong suction force came from it and started sucking things inside it.
"DAMMIT! How in the name of heavens did a spatial rift open here?" Shirong yelled.
He braced himself, but the suction force of the spatial rift was too strong.
~Shing~
One of the metal fixtures of the room was unable to stay fixed and was ripped out, but in the process of being sucked into the spatial rift, it struck Shirong's thigh instead.
"Aargh!" Shirong grunted as the blood spilled from his thigh.
He instinctively wanted to withdraw something from his ring, but then realized that was the entire reason behind the spatial rift. All his belongings that were inside the ring were now either destroyed or lost in some fragmented spatial dimension.
Shirong internally cursed but knew that there wasn't much he could do now. He had taken hold of a pillar and that was the only thing that was preventing him from behind sucked into the rift. He tried using his cultivation, but it was all for naught.
In the face of a spatial rift, which even nascent soul cultivators would be wary of, Shirong could only hold on for his dear life. All he could do was amplify his strength with his spirit qi and hold on to the pillar and pray to the heavens that it stayed solid.
~WEENG~
~Tear~
The sound of the spatial rift got louder as it started expanding even more. The suction force was now doubled.
~DA,DA,DA~
Suddenly formation arrays appeared all around the place and Shirong's eyes lit up.
"Yes! The formations should be able to restrict it perhap…" But before Shirong could continue his sentence, he saw the formations breaking as well.
"NO!!!" Shirong shouted unwillingly.
Even the formations that were set up by the clan head Lu were able to withstand the force of the Spatial rift and broke under its power.
Meanwhile, Lin Wu who was lying on the ground was barely moving even after the suction force had increased. His heavy weight prevented that from happening. He himself was dumbstruck at all that was happening and was speechless.
He stared at all that was happening and it took him a minute to come to terms with it. The system was giving him non stop error reports, and he had no idea what to make of it.
"What the f*ck did I get myself into…"
