Chapter 620: Chapter 366: Swarming In
Just as Chen Mu was immersed in the upheaval caused by the collapse of the Stone Vein and the destruction of the Cave Heaven.
One after another, figures hurried over from all directions.
“Is this, could it be the collapse of a Cave Heaven?”
A grandmaster, shrouded in a dim, gloomy light, arrived nearby and gazed toward the crumbling Stone Vein Cave Heaven, immediately revealing a shocked expression.
After all, even for a grandmaster who had traversed the world for decades and explored various realms, the likelihood of discovering a Cave Heaven was extremely small, let alone witnessing its collapse — an event so rare it was scarcely recorded even in the annals.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
...
Several more grandmaster shadows arrived from another direction.
Gazing at the massive commotion caused by the collapse of the Stone Vein Cave Heaven, and at those white Void Rifts, they all showed looks of shock, stopping a good distance away, not daring to approach too close.
“This is…”
Luan Qiumei and Xia Yuye also arrived from one direction; at this moment, staring intently at the terrible disturbance in the center, their gazes were exceedingly grave, and Yuye’s face showed astonishment as well.
Although neither of them was a figure of the Blood Exchange Realm, as members of the Hehuan Sect, they were well-traveled and had seen the commotion from Blood Exchange Realm beings fighting each other. They knew that white Void Cracks like these could be produced in their clashing.
And at this moment.
The Void Rifts continuously sprouted above the broken Stone Veins, with the life and death of countless more than a thousand rifts occurring in an instant?!
Mere witness from a distance was enough to feel a heart-palpitating fear, that if one were caught up in it, they would likely be destroyed in an instant, and even a supremely Solidifying Refined Martial Body might struggle to withstand it.
“Such extensive Void Rifts, could this be the collapse of a Cave Heaven?”
Yuye spoke in a heavy tone, “I’ve seen records of this in the most secret ancient texts of our Sect. One of our Hehuan ancestors once encountered the scene of a Cave Heaven’s collapse. It is said that at the moment of complete collapse, the heavens and earth will be utterly chaotic, and in the instant of destruction and rebirth, various rare and Spiritual Objects will be born…”
“Is there such a thing?”
Luan Qiumei looked at Yuye with slight surprise, but then lowered her voice, her lips barely moving without making a sound, using a Secret Technique to transmit her voice directly into Yuye’s ear.
Yuye also transmitted her voice into Qiumei’s ear, “Sister Luan, you’ve been deeply immersed in Martial Arts for years, traveling to the Outer Sea to explore, and you’re not very aware of our Sect’s ancient history. I, however, have stayed in the Sect for years, often reading those histories whenever I had free time.”
“Be it the Outer Sea or the Earthly Abyss, the Great Wilderness, it’s already quite rare to encounter a Cave Heaven, not to mention witnessing its collapse. According to that ancestor, it seems that the larger the Cave Heaven is, the more rare and Spiritual Objects appear when it collapses. This Cave Heaven seems to have been hidden within the Stone Vein, but its actual size is unknown. Now, however, it’s no longer possible to enter.”
Yuye recounted the overall situation.
Upon hearing this, Qiumei nodded slightly before glancing around. By now, they could see about four to five people had arrived from various directions, all of them grandmaster figures from the major sects of the Cold North.
“If truly rare objects are born, you and I could try to compete for them. The others may not be aware of this fact and might act slower than us. As long as we are not too greedy, and leave after taking just one item, we still have a chance.”
Qiumei transmitted her voice in a whisper to Yuye’s ear.
In the outside world, both she and Yuye were figures whose names resonated far and wide, their strength among the strongest in the grandmasters, second only to those top grandmasters. Here, however, they were both aware that none of the individuals present were kind-hearted, and either of them might not be sure of victory in a one-on-one fight.
However, if the two of them joined forces, and if they were to take advantage of a leading opportunity to snatch and flee with just one item, then there might be a chance.
“If only Sister Yan were here,”
Yuye suddenly sighed and said, “It’s a pity Sister Yan is probably not nearby; otherwise, she would have been the first to arrive ahead of us. I have already sent a message to Sister Yan. I don’t know if she’ll be able to make it here in time after receiving the news.”
Of course, the Hehuan Sect also possessed top grandmaster figures, who had also come together to explore the Earthly Abyss but had acted separately afterward and were not with the two of them.
“Hmm.”
Qiumei did not respond much, only carefully observing the other figures nearby, hoping that the several grandmasters in the vicinity were not aware of the changes that occur when a Cave Heaven collapses, and that they were wary of the Void Rifts and keeping their distance.
This wishful thinking was, of course, unlikely to come true; those who dared to explore this layer, even if not top grandmasters, were almost all among the strongest in the grandmasters. Faced with such a situation, even if they had no idea about the specifics, it would be unlikely they would simply withdraw but would surely want to observe more closely and understand what was happening.
Moreover.

While everyone was a safe distance from the site of the Stone Vein’s collapse, there was one person nearby who came extremely close, appearing to have arrived much earlier. They were now only about twenty yards away from the closest Void Rift, almost standing on the edge of danger, yet they still had not retreated and remained standing there.
Yuye’s gaze also fell on that person, and after a brief scrutiny, she revealed a look of recognition.
Was it him?
Chen Mu was now a renowned figure throughout the Cold North Path, and since Yuye had met him once before, she recognized him at a glance, a glint flashing in her eyes.
She, Qiumei, and the other many grandmasters were all apprehensive of those Void Rifts, fearing a sudden spread they wouldn’t be able to react to quickly. At the moment, they all kept a distance of about fifty to sixty yards, while only Chen Mu approached within just twenty, seemingly unaware of the danger of the Void Rifts.
