Perhaps not everyone will heed Chen Qian's "alarmist words," but even if only half of them do, they have already done what they should have done.

After a moment, "Xuehai" seemed to flicker strangely, and everyone vaguely heard a sound like bubbles bursting.

"I can sense the mark now!"

Someone exclaimed with delight, and immediately activated the mark with their soul.

Many more people subconsciously did the same thing.

Swish! Swish! Swish...

One by one, the figures began to fade into the distance and left the "sea of ​​learning".

However, some people were a step behind, or had a rebellious streak, and insisted on seeing what the "danger" mentioned before was, instead standing still with a leisurely air.

As for Qu Bai, Lin Sanmo, and the others, they activated the marks without hesitation. They had no curiosity whatsoever. Even Shen Qian had frankly stated that he might not be able to withstand the danger, so they didn't even have the desire to take a look.

"What...what is that?!"

The martial artists who were still standing in place raised their heads as if sensing something, and then saw a scene that horrified them.

In their field of vision, there was originally an endless sea above them, but at this moment, an indescribable huge shadow suddenly appeared above the entire "Sea of ​​Learning". At the same time, the "Sea of ​​Learning", which was originally boundless, began to collapse from all sides inward, turning into a strange sphere.

An indescribable despair and fear arose in the hearts of these martial artists; it seemed to be an emotion that came from the very marrow of their bones, without cause and impossible to escape.

As the shadow drew closer, someone finally saw its true form.

"ah!"

But in an instant, with an extremely shrill scream, the martial artist's eyeballs burst open. At the same time, his body began to melt like a candle, turning into a small shadow in the blink of an eye, floating directly upwards as if to merge into the huge shadow.

He was just the beginning. More and more people silently turned into shadows. There was no confrontation, and they couldn't even see the other party make a move. It was as if just seeing "its" appearance would bring great terror.

The surviving martial artists, in their terror, finally awoke as if from a dream. With their eyes tightly shut, they began frantically activating the marks, attempting to escape the "Sea of ​​Learning."

But it was too late.

They discovered that the entrances and exits to "The Sea of ​​Learning" had been closed at some point.

It had nothing to do with the shadow; it turned out that the passage had been deliberately closed off on the other side of Earth at some unknown time!

"Why, why..."

Some martial artists wailed in despair, which was hard to understand.

But some more knowledgeable martial artists smiled sadly, "This shows... that even human kings and nobles cannot withstand this existence. How laughable we are, how pathetic..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, for as the shadows completely merged into the "sea of ​​learning," no one could escape their fate, and they all transformed into shadows of varying shapes.

The vast Book Mountain Basin became empty in the blink of an eye, except for a black dress that still floated with the sea on an inconspicuous hill.

Tantai Qin stood quietly in this corner, looking up at the huge shadow.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around her; the silent attacks that left others powerless to resist had no effect on her whatsoever.

But deep within Tantai Qin's eyes lay the deepest solemnity that had existed for millennia.

She knew there was nothing to be proud of.

Because... whether it was her or those human warriors who had already perished, they were only facing the back of this unknown being.

Yes, just by looking away, without even glancing at them, countless human warriors were annihilated.

Even with all her knowledge and imagination, Tantai Qin still couldn't find a way to describe such a being.

No wonder Shen Qian said he had to stay. If Shen Qian had also tried to leave, probably no one would have had the chance to leave again.

Time difference?

In the face of such an existence, there is no such thing as a question.

But Tantai Qin was not panicked, nor did she try to escape or defy Shen Qian's wishes by making a reckless move.

She just stood there stubbornly, quietly, as if waiting for something.

...

Thousands of miles away, Chen Qian hovered above the deep trench, his expression neither sad nor happy.

When a huge shadow fell upon the "sea of ​​learning," Shen Qian slightly raised his head and sighed softly.

"It arrived in just a few seconds, that's outrageous."

He put away the sacred object that controlled the sea of ​​knowledge in his hand, and then looked over with a gaze that was a mixture of inquiry and doubt.

"Strange...this aura..."

Although he hadn't yet seen what was in the shadows, he could already feel the invisible and intangible invasion.

At this moment, Chen Qian was basically certain that this was the aura he had once glimpsed in the long river of time; it was at least of the same origin, but with slight differences.

Furthermore, what confused me before sinking was the corrosive aura.

He felt that this aura was familiar, but he was also very certain that this was the first time he had faced the other person directly.

It was somewhat like his own "Dao," which transcended all other Daos, but the other party's Dao-like aura was even more vast and harder to resist.

Facing the other side directly, Chen Qian felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

The invasion of the aura was nothing more than a tickle to Shen Qian. He simply stared intently at the gradually darkening seawater above, waiting for the other party to fully reveal its true form.

Without a sound, the dark seawater parted in an incredibly smooth motion amidst the violent tremors, as if a precise scalpel had cleanly and decisively severed it. Despite being the surface of the water, not a single ripple could be seen.
