Li Dai regained her senses and rubbed her sore waist, grumbling to herself. She clearly felt her physical constitution was excellent—she shouldn't be damaged by a simple fall—yet the pain was undeniably sharp.

The deafening, thunder-like noise persisted for a long time, and she seemed to hear a series of cracking, shattering sounds. Before she could figure out the source, the Zuyan Gangfire exclaimed in a tone of urgent alarm:
"Run! You took the divine artifact, and a corner of the secret realm has completely collapsed. You are far too close—you'll be caught in it!"
