Chapter 2863: A Pursuit of Great Lengths (2/2)
Now, the Darkstar Emperor was unable to sense Jian Chen’s presence at all. Unless he used his eyes, he was unable to detect Jian Chen anymore, and this made the Darkstar Emperor panic. His soul sense immediately flooded through the surroundings, grasping at any traces present. At the same time, he rose up to a high altitude and quickly glanced around from above.
Finally, he discovered Jian Chen’s traces several hundred thousand kilometers away with his eyes. He immediately shot off like a bolt of lightning, igniting droplet after droplet of essence blood at the same time and awakening the past might of the seal again and again, launching lightning-fast attacks at Jian Chen from afar.
He had no other choice. In terms of speed, it was impossible for him to be faster than Jian Chen who comprehended the Laws of Space. Jian Chen had also obtained the Fruit of Nurturing Ways, so he definitely could not let him leave here alive. As a result, the Darkstar Emperor could only use the seal’s momentary burst of speed to hunt him down from afar.
But now, Jian Chen was the proactive one, and the Darkstar Emperor was the reactive one. Killing him with the seal from so far away was obviously difficult to achieve.
Jian Chen frequently changed directions as he advanced, making his movements unpredictable, while the Darkstar Emperor had to find Jian Chen before sending the seal over, which cost him the advantage of acting first. With this delay, Jian Chen basically managed to leave one step earlier every single time when the seal appeared over his head.
The Darkstar Emperor’s face had paled from anger, tailing behind Jian Chen closely and refusing to give up. He ignited his essence blood again and again, and the seal demonstrated its might as a medium quality god artifact time and time again. As this went on, even the Darkstar Emperor struggled to cope with it despite his strength.
After all, he had already used six God Tier Battle Skills earlier. He had already exhausted his body to a great extent, so the Darkstar Emperor finally began to feel feeble after burning his essence blood and wielding the seal at full strength so many times.
But even with that, the Darkstar Emperor had no intentions of giving up. He followed behind, crossing through quite a large part of the Darkstar World through the use of the traces Jian Chen left behind as he fled. Only when they were about to enter the depths of the Two World Mountains did he come to a halt.
Outside the Two World Mountains, the Darkstar Emperor’s presence rushed into the clouds as his raging anger burned like fire. His eyes stared firmly at the mist-shrouded Two World Mountains, shining with bone-deep hatred.
The Two World Mountains were not peaceful either. Sensing the Darkstar Emperor’s presence, all of the Primordial realm Life-devouring Beasts produced earth-shaking roars. The ground shook as the mist churned. Powerful Primordial realm Life-devouring Beasts had already emerged from the depths, rushing towards the Darkstar Emperor in resentment.
The Darkstar Emperor stood before the Two World Mountains and stared deeply into this special region enshrouded by mist. For the first time since he was born, he experienced a sense of powerlessness deep within his heart.
“Sigh!” In the end, the Darkstar Emperor let out a long sigh. He still ended up stopping before the Two World Mountains without arbitrarily intruding upon the place, as he was unable to sense Jian Chen’s presence at all anymore. If he wanted to find him, he could only look for him with his eyes.
However, mist surged through the Two World Mountains, obscuring his vision. Not only would it be extremely difficult to look for him, but he would also have to face the attack of so many Life-devouring Beasts, which was extremely disadvantageous to him.
The Darkstar Emperor retreated, returning to the capital city of the Darkstar race once again.
The capital city had already been reduced to ruins. There were countless injured people as howls and wails filled the air. More than half of the ten divine halls that hovered in the air and symbolised authority and status had been destroyed. Only the Darkstar Divine Hall remained in perfect condition.
