Chapter 58 - Collapse of the Immortal Realm

The days went on silently, as horrible tsunamis and winds ravaged the Immortal Realm. However, the Qi energies and elemental energies have dropped to horrible levels in all locations. With such a low concentration, the spatial cracks that were at the original center of the disaster began growing; a side affect of very weak space. Even the tsunami's and winds are creating occasional ones themselves, leading to a further collapse of the realm.

The Immortal Realm also lost it's ability to lock itself in space, causing it's body to move in an unknown direction.

Near the center of the core, countless weaker lava beings roared in terror as their bodies collapsed under the increasing pressure while the stronger ones frantically escaped towards the surface.

A giant core protected by a barrier made of the great dao floated silently in the center and didn't seemed to be affected by the increasing pressure. The barrier shined brightly, full of mysteries. It could turn a mortal into a top-tier cultivator just by staring at it for a few years. The interior past the barrier was dense with Qi that it was foggy in every spot of the round core.

The surface was completely smooth and a metallic silver with no irregularities and seemed to be very alien. But the mother core didn't seem to notice at all, and just stayed silent despite the increasing pressure. It was as if it was in a deep sleep and didn't want to care about anything.

However, the outer core outside the barrier started having random small explosions from different elements lighter than iron fusing under the pressures. This didn't alleviate the pressure at all and kept increasing at a faster rate.

Eventually, the outer core began shrinking rapidly and degenerating into electrons. Even though the area around the mother core had much denser Qi and stable space, it still began to crack and shatter. The great dao barrier began to groan and tremble somewhat.

Finally, the mother core seemed to react as if it sensed danger. Following it's programmed instructions, the Qi in the nearby area was sucked away, causing space to severely weaken and accelerate the collapse. The mother core produced trillions of dao runes that inscribed themselves on the void below space. Following that, the barrier seemed to be invisible as the mother core phased through in an instant.

A huge space was left in the center and the surrounding matter furiously filled in the space, causing Earth shattering explosions as matter collapsed passed the neutron barrier. Black holes began forming and merging in the center, quickly growing as they released tons of energy that destroyed everything nearby. Earthquakes rippled through the Immortal Realm, with each ripple enough to shatter space and create more black holes.

Without the mother core, the heaven's seemed as though they had abandoned the Immortal Realm. The heavenly barrier completely collapsed, exposing the Immortal Realm to anything that wanted to enter. The sun permanently disappeared, never to appear again; and the stars began their dominant rein for the remaining lifespan of the Immortal Realm.

But because of the Immortal Realm's size, the effects that were happening in the center had yet to reach the surface, so things seemed to abruptly change with the disappearance of the heavenly barrier.

Without the heavenly barrier, space energies began invading and returning everything back into energies. The lower realms is like a city surrounded by water that's higher than their tallest building. Without a barrier, the water will flood in and destroy everything. When the heaven's abandon a lower realm, they are fully subjected to the laws of the universe and the space energies of the upper realm.

As the space energies devoured the atmosphere, the horrible ash storms weren't affected at first and continued like nothing. The waves destroyed anything in their paths as usual and washed away survivors.

An ice cocoon silently floated within the horrible waters with two people frozen within. This was me and benefactor. The days have gone by but my survival is decreasing at every second. The Qi has mysteriously disappeared and the the elemental energies are thinner than ever. I will run out of energy in a few days if this continues. I can only attempt to communicate to snap benefactor out of it, but my efforts seemed to yield no response.

After more than six hours later, the gravity began to abruptly increase. It was slow at first, but sped up gradually and surpassed the original. Then it reached twice as normal and the waves were forced to settle down somewhat.

Soon, the gravity reached three times and four times. The ferocious waves had no choice but to be little waves near a beach. The rain began coming at a steeper angle compared to before.

Eventually, I had no choice but to panic and furiously try to communicate with benefactor. Resisting the gravity is consuming too much energy. The gravity has become so strong that even the waves have disappeared and my ice cocoon is sinking, somewhat reducing the gravity.

I quickly ran out of energy resisting the gravity, and I felt my blood leaving my head. I began to lose consciousness as I sent one last signal towards benefactor's body. I was left with regrets going through my head over my decisions before things went black.
