Although it had, for an instant, pushed his speed to its absolute peak, the consumption of the Heavenly Dao power was now dozens of times greater.
If this continued, he’d have to stop in just a moment, and those people behind would surely catch up immediately!
Looking down, he saw a landscape of towering mountains and steep ridges below, thick with dense forests and jagged rocks. In some areas, deep chasms crisscrossed the terrain.
Nie Li dove straight down into this rugged wilderness.
First, he needed to find a place to hide. He could either use the terrain to conceal himself within the Myriad Miles River and Mountain Map, or simply summon the experts of the Tianyuan God Clan from the map to fight those pursuers.
Swoosh!
Nie Li transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the dense forest below.
This was already the border region of the Endless Wastes. Beyond a continuous range of mountains lay a boundless desert. In this desert, not a blade of grass grew. For countless centuries, countless experts of the Tianyuan God Clan had managed to survive here.
Those continuous mountain ranges looked like the skeleton of a giant.
Just as Nie Li and
"What is that?" Nie Li was startled. Seeing the rainbow light sweep toward them, he hurriedly tried to dodge.
But it was too late!
Swoosh!
Nie Li and Long Yuyin were struck by the seven-colored radiance, colliding violently together before vanishing into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
About half an hour later, the group of black-clad pursuers caught up. They searched everywhere, combing through almost the entire surrounding area, but could not find Nie Li or Long Yuyin.
"What happened?"
"Damn it, they got away!"
The black-clad men could not locate Nie Li and Long Yuyin, and could only leave in frustration.
Time flowed onward.
How long he remained in the darkness, he didn't know.
It seemed raindrops were falling. The cool drizzle landed on his face, chilling him.
Nie Li slowly regained consciousness. He vaguely sensed something soft and warm, as if something heavy was resting on top of him. He struggled to open his eyes and saw Long Yuyin lying atop him. His hand, quite by chance, was resting on her buttocks.
The soft, pressing sensation against his chest made Nie Li feel a touch embarrassed.
He had to admit, Long Yuyin’s figure was indeed very fiery.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Long Yuyin let out a soft moan and slowly woke up. Seeing the scene before her, her face instantly flushed crimson, and she hurriedly sat up.
Nie Li also quickly propped himself up with his hands and rose slowly, looking around. All he saw was an endless, empty expanse of darkness.
"Where is this?" Long Yuyin looked at her surroundings, momentarily stunned.
Nie Li frowned slightly. He had been flying with Long Yuyin, then struck by a seven-colored rainbow light, after which he lost consciousness and ended up here with her.
From within that endless void, faint, intermittent rumblings seemed to echo, coming and going.
