Although Lin Lei hadn't managed to uncover the Four divine beasts' combined innate ultimate move after obtaining their essence blood, he used part of the
His body's resilience was now no less than a Sovereign artifact. The sharp tip of his dragon tail had even surpassed it.
This strike, infused with the Laws of Earth, was something even a Sovereign artifact could not block.
"Not good!" Augustus's expression changed. His Highgod artifact moved to block Lin Lei's own, but in that instant, his only reaction was—
Swing his arm!
Augustus's arm was now as flexible as a whip. The motion was simple, a swinging gesture.
Like cracking a whip.
*Whoosh!* The swing was incredibly fast. At the last possible moment, Augustus's palm slammed fiercely against the side of Lin Lei's dragon tail tip. But under Lin Lei's control, the tail tip curved, stabbing straight into Augustus's palm!
*Pfft!*
A thin, white membrane of armor appeared on his palm—a clear defensive-type Sovereign artifact. However, under the full force of Lin Lei's dragon tail thrust, blood seeped out as the sharp tip pierced through his palm.
*Whoosh!* His form flickered, and Augustus instantly evaded, appearing several miles away in a blink.
"That palm strike?" Lin Lei was greatly surprised. "Augustus's physical strength has also reached this level?"
After piercing the defensive Sovereign artifact with his tail, Lin Lei had originally planned to continue straight through Augustus's palm and then impale his head. Who could have thought... the palm itself possessed extremely strong defenses. After breaking through both the artifact and the palm, the momentum of Lin Lei's tail tip was exhausted.
"Augustus, I knew you were formidable in terms of the soul, but your body is unexpectedly powerful too. I'm impressed," Lin Lei's voice echoed in Augustus's mind, while Lin Lei himself chased relentlessly.
"Lin Lei, let's just stop here, the two of us," Augustus transmitted, fleeing at top speed.
With his full strength unleashed, Augustus's speed was clearly much faster than at the start.
For a moment, Lin Lei couldn't even catch up.
*Even in my Dragonformed state, I can't catch him.* Lin Lei was shocked.
Augustus's true strength was about ten times what Lin Lei had initially estimated.
This resulted in Augustus being nearly matched with Lin Lei.
Even with Lin Lei Dragonformed. But Augustus cultivated the Laws of Light and excelled in speed. In a desperate flight, Lin Lei simply couldn't close the gap.
"No, that's not it." Lin Lei's powerful divine sense clearly discerned the speeds of himself and Augustus. Right now, the distance between them was narrowing, albeit slightly. "My speed is close to his, but not identical. It's... just slightly faster than his by a hair."
The difference was minuscule. Without careful observation, it was impossible to detect.
But the distance between Lin Lei and Augustus was finite. As it continuously shrank, the moment would come when he could catch up completely.
"Lin Lei, why must you and I fight to the death?" Augustus sent urgently. "I did kill the Four divine beasts, but they were countless generations removed from you. I doubt you ever even met those four, let alone had any feelings for them. Why bother? And my grudge with
Lin Lei just sneered.
"Just moments ago you wanted to kill me, but after I Dragonformed, you realized you couldn't. Now you want to negotiate?" Lin Lei completely ignored him.
"Lin Lei, do you truly want to fight to the bitter end?" Augustus was somewhat exasperated. "At worst, I'll charge into the
Although they were only several dozen miles apart—a short distance for Sovereigns—their speed difference was so small that even this gap would take several minutes to cross.
"The Four divine beast clan? Augustus, in the Infernal Realm, there exists the Sovereign of Destruction. I'm sure you know, the Sovereign of Destruction has a special relationship with Beirut and me. Back then, he even borrowed the Four divine beasts' essence blood from us. Moreover, he has borrowed personnel from my Four divine beast clan. If I send him a divine sense transmission, I believe he will certainly stop you," Lin Lei replied.
Augustus was being driven mad by the chase.
Watching Lin Lei's distance continuously shrink, yet being utterly powerless to change it.
"Lin Lei, your strength isn't much greater than mine. Your only advantage is that your Dragonformed body is comparable to a Sovereign artifact and can be wielded as one. If I risk everything, who lives and who dies between us is still uncertain," Augustus transmitted. "Are you willing to take that gamble?"
After their brief clash, Lin Lei knew this.
He wasn't much stronger than his opponent. In a life-and-death struggle, the outcome was indeed uncertain. But in terms of survival chance, he probably held an eighty percent advantage, with Augustus only having twenty.
"I am willing!" Lin Lei said coldly.
"Fine, you madman!" Augustus's face twisted. "Then don't blame me!"
With that, Augustus abruptly changed direction and continued fleeing at extreme speed.
"Hm?" Lin Lei's expression changed.
This direction Augustus was taking was toward the Divine World. Although only about ten miles separated them now, the time it took to cross that distance was enough for Augustus to reach the Divine World.
Augustus was deliberately fleeing toward the Divine World. Lin Lei couldn't help but suspect.
"Legend has it that the Infernal Realm is aligned with the
"What's this, going to find the Sovereign of Fate?" Linlei transmitted.
