The phrases 'crack in the void', 'invincible monsters', 'thirst for blood and essence' felt to Severin as if a bombshell had been dropped on him. He immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
Gilda, who was on the verge of tears, gazed at Severin and trembled. "What are we going to do, Severin? Hardin is still at the Skyblue Sect!"
Diane echoed her concerns, and their voices overlapped over each other in a chorus of worry and confusion. "Severin, we must return to the Skyblue Sect as soon as possible!"
Severin had a gloomy expression and struggled to maintain his composure. It was not too long ago that he made plans to return to Earth when he received news of the Skyblue Sect being under siege.
As he pieced together Gracie's information, Severin deduced that the monsters' characteristics bore some semblance to malevolent practices. With the Celestial Realm's convergence looming, he wondered if the breach in space had inadvertently exposed Earth to the Devil Realm's denizens. It would spell a certain doom for Earth.
There was no time to waste. Severin activated the heavenly heart imprints and traced the recent spatial breach to the vast mountains. Through that, he sensed the Earth's aura and pinpointed its coordinates. Turning to Sheila and Sofia, he instructed, "I'll leave Gracie in your care. I'm going to Earth so I can get a first-hand look of what is going on."
He then held Diane's hand in his left and Gilda's in his right before harnessing the power of space and vanishing in an instant.
