In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

The earth trembled violently, as if a giant beast were writhing in agony.

The ground beneath Fan Tong and the others cracked open with jagged fissures, and the bottomless darkness resembled a gaping maw ready to devour them.

Above his head, runes flickered erratically, their blue light flashing intermittently, struggling like a dying patient.

The air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, and the breath of death enveloped everyone.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?" Old Camel's voice trembled as he gripped the rock beside him tightly, afraid of falling into the abyss.

"It's the fusion of the spirit orb and the runes that's causing spatial instability!" Lan Xing forced himself to remain calm as he analyzed the perilous situation before him. "We must find a way out as soon as possible!"

Han Xinru was pale, gripping the long sword tightly in her hand, suppressing her fear, and cautiously looking around.

Just then, a clear voice echoed in the space: "Hehehe, how interesting! A bunch of little bugs have made a mess of my home!"

A figure appeared out of thin air and hovered in mid-air.

It was a petite girl wearing a long emerald green dress, with a pair of transparent wings on her back that shimmered with starlight.

She had delicate features, as cute as a porcelain doll, but her bright green eyes were full of mockery and ridicule.

"Who are you?" Fan Tong asked warily.

“I am a spirit of this space,” the girl chuckled, circling Fan Tong and the others once. “You greedy treasure hunters have disrupted the balance of this space, and now you will all pay the price!”

“We didn’t mean to damage the space,” Fan Tong tried to remain calm. “We just want to find treasure. Please help us get out of here!”

"Leave?" The space spirit's laughter grew even sharper. "You want to leave? Unless you can find the space core, you'll all die here!"

"A spatial core?" Fan Tong frowned. "What is that?"

"Want to know? Then go find it yourselves!" The space spirit smiled slyly. "However, I'm warning you, time is running out..."

Before she could finish speaking, the runes around her flickered even more violently, the space trembled even more intensely, and a shattering sound that made your teeth ache came from above...

"Look!" Han Xinru exclaimed, pointing to the ceiling.

A series of chilling tearing sounds came from above, the sound of space collapsing and disintegrating.

Huge rocks crashed down like meteorites, accompanied by a suffocating gust of wind.

The rubble crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, kicking up clouds of dust that made the already dim space even more chaotic.

"Watch out!" Fan Tong shouted, pulling Han Xinru away from him.

A huge rock grazed his shoulder as it fell, sending a burning pain through him.

Before he could even catch his breath, another boulder hurtled towards them with a whooshing sound.

"Blue Star, watch out!" Old Camel shouted. He pushed Blue Star aside, but he couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard on the back by the boulder.

"Pfft!" Old Camel spat out a mouthful of blood, his burly body instantly went limp, and he lay on the ground in pain, letting out suppressed and painful groans.

"Old Camel!" Han Xinru exclaimed. She wanted to rush over and help the old camel up, but her path was blocked by a series of jagged cracks.

She stamped her feet anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes, the oppressive feeling in her heart making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Old Camel, how are you?!" Han Xinru shouted loudly, her voice sounding so weak amidst the deafening roar of the collapsing space.

Lan Xing quickly glanced at her surroundings. Unlike usual, she didn't calmly analyze the situation or search for clues about the space core.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly at the space spirit in mid-air. Her tone was calm and firm: "Although you are a space spirit, you are also a part of this space. The collapse of space will not benefit you at all. Are you going to just watch your home be destroyed? You will also dissipate along with the collapse of space."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into the heart of the space elf.

The playfulness and mockery on the elf's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of confusion and wavering.

She looked down at the crack beneath her feet, then looked up at the crumbling space, a flicker of fear in her emerald green eyes.

"You...you insects!" The space spirit's voice was weak, but it still stubbornly insisted, its body trembling slightly. "What does this have to do with me! You destroyed this place!"

“Now is not the time to assign blame,” Lanxing interrupted her, continuing, “The collapse of space will do you no good. If you want to protect this place, you should work with us to find a solution.”

The space spirit fell silent. She began to fly around the group, her speed fluctuating, revealing a fierce internal struggle within her.

"Look..." Han Xinru suddenly said in a trembling voice, pointing her finger into the distance.

"What is that?!" Fan Tong also noticed the anomaly, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.

Blue Star and the Space Elf were also drawn to the same spot, and all three of them gasped in surprise.

In the distance, in what was once an empty space, swirling wisps of black mist appeared out of nowhere.

The black mist churned and roared, gradually coalescing into monsters of various shapes.

Some of them resemble giant pythons with sharp fangs; some look like fierce tigers, their bodies covered with hard scales; and others are like giant bats, brandishing sharp claws.

"It's a monster that came out of the spatial rift!" Blue Star exclaimed, gripping her staff tightly, her face grave.

"Protect the old camel!" Fan Tong shouted, his longsword gleaming with a dazzling light. He charged towards the monster first, his longsword transforming into sharp sword energy that slashed at the giant python at the front.

Han Xinru followed closely behind, her long sword flashing as she slashed down the bats that swarmed towards her.

Despite the excruciating pain in his back, Old Camel swung his giant axe and cleaved a tiger that was trying to ambush Han Xinru in two.

The space sprite hovered in mid-air, watching the battle with great interest. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she were enjoying a wonderful performance.

Fragments of space around them flew everywhere like sharp blades, tearing through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.

A shard of glass grazed Fan Tong's cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood.

“These monsters… seem to be controlled by some kind of power from the spatial core…” Fan Tong said as he swung his sword to defend against the monsters’ attacks, while keenly noticing something unusual.

He looked in the direction of the power and vaguely saw a ball of light shining brightly in the depths of space.

"The spatial core is over there!" Fan Tong shouted, pointing in the direction of the sphere of light. "We must get there as soon as possible!"

He led the charge towards the direction of the light sphere, with Han Xinru and Lao Tuo close behind.

They fought their way through thorns and brambles, slaying one monster after another. Space fragments fell like raindrops, but they could not stop their progress.

The space sprite looked at them in surprise.

Finally, they arrived at the location of the sphere of light.

It was a crystal ball suspended in mid-air, emitting a soft light, surrounded by a powerful restriction, like an insurmountable barrier.

The collapse of space has reached its final moment. The space above is like a shattered mirror, cracking open with huge fissures, and darkness surges in like a tide.

"How can this restriction be broken?" Fan Tong murmured to himself, looking at the restriction that was flashing with mysterious light.

"It's too late..." Lan Xing's voice trembled, "Space is about to collapse completely..."

Han Xinru held the old camel's hand tightly. The space spirit flew to the barrier and gently touched it with its slender fingers.

"This..." The space spirit suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had discovered something, her tone filled with shock.

"What's wrong?" Fan Tong asked anxiously.

The space spirit did not answer. She extended her finger again, this time using all her strength to pierce the barrier...
