Chapter 119: Demigod Pursuit

In the silent flight, Gune soon encountered the first layer of obstruction.

Inside a rugged passageway over thirty meters in diameter and a hundred meters high,

a layer of alert energy barrier sealed off the entire passage.

Outside the alert barrier, two peak Fourth Tribulation ancestral spirits radiating the fluctuations of Dark Essence stood guard.

At this moment, Gune was far away and separated by the energy barrier, so the two did not detect him in hiding.

"The plan to fly at top speed while manipulating World Essence to instantly open this low-intensity alert energy layer is feasible."

"I just don't know if there are demigod powerhouses or even stronger gods stationed there."

"Regardless of whether stronger forces are there, charging through is the only choice; otherwise, the inspectors inside will find no one and will certainly conduct a detailed search of this area."

"I'm not very familiar with this area either, and my concealment ability isn't strong. Going in circles with these experts in Dark Essence will lead to discovery sooner or later."

With this thought, Gune quickly stored some unnecessary equipment into the spatial ring.

He left only the defensive demigod artifact [Darkborn Armor] on his body.

If he were accidentally killed, he wouldn't lose many demigod artifacts.

"Go!"

With a flash of cyan-blue sharp light, Gune's speed instantly soared to the extreme.

"Someone!"

As soon as Gune burst into speed, the two outside the alert barrier immediately detected the commotion.

Gune couldn't care about that anymore.

"Buzz!"

World Essence bloomed to its utmost, and the moment it touched the alert energy barrier,

seven or eight passage exits were opened by Gune.

Whoosh—

The blooming of the Wind Spirit Wings pushed Gune's speed to the extreme.

A flash of blood light mixed with cyan-blue light streaked by.

This was a powerful instantaneous translocation technique Gune had developed by combining Wind Spirit power with Blood Sea Stride.

In an instant, he crossed over two thousand meters and passed through the blockade of the alert energy barrier.

The moment he landed,

Boom!

An aura as intense as a dark sun erupted violently to Gune's left rear.

"A demigod powerhouse!"

Gune immediately realized.

"Sizzle sizzle~~"

The destructive might of the dark sun bloomed to the extreme with terrifying dark fluctuations.

The dragon-scale shield on Gune's body melted rapidly like snow under the sun.

But this gave Gune some buffer time.

Wind Spirit power was pushed to its limit by Gune.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The dark power corroded Gune's body, while Gune flew forward with all his might,

escaping the radiation zone of the dark sun.

Gune's dragon-scale shield had completely dissolved.

At the same time, Gune's entire back was drenched in blood.

Fortunately, Gune's physical body was strong enough; otherwise, the dark sun would have melted him on the spot.

Gune flew unceasingly along the passage at top speed.

"Still trying to escape? Die!"

A sinister voice came from behind.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Gune's form turned into a cyan-blue luster as he flew at top speed.

While flying, Gune quickly recovered from his injuries.

Gune's speed was fast enough, comparable to an ordinary demigod.

But obviously, the one chasing Gune was no ordinary demigod; his speed was considerably faster than Gune's.

Fortunately, the cave was rugged with twists and turns.

Gune, with his Wind Spirit Wings, was agile enough.

He could navigate these rugged paths at the fastest speed.

The demigod behind had an extremely intense aura, at least a late-stage demigod powerhouse, who relentlessly pursued Gune while bombarding him.

Boom...

Boom...

Boom...

For a time, the passage was filled with endless booming sounds.

One after another, various dark-type attacks continuously fell upon Gune.

Some blasted against the walls, shattering large chunks of rock. The entire underground world trembled in waves.

And some attacks radiated onto Gune, injuring him.

Some attacks even landed directly on Gune, blasting his flesh and blood flying.

And Gune, bearing these attacks, frantically accelerated forward.

Every attack that struck Gune blasted his skin and flesh open.

After all, these were attacks from a late-stage demigod.

And Gune was merely a Fourth-Rank Saint who did not even possess divine power.

If he had divine power, Gune would have fought back on the spot, and it would have been uncertain who would live or die.

Flying at extreme speed was obviously different from the slow pace earlier.

The passage that had taken over ten minutes to traverse before

was now crossed by Gune in less than a minute.

Gune had been worried about being surrounded outside, but he found no such situation, which relieved him greatly.

Even so, along the way, Gune suffered no fewer than thirty or forty attacks.

Fortunately, Gune's body was strong enough and his recovery ability terrifying; even when both legs were eroded and blasted off, he could regrow them quickly.

As soon as he entered the vast underground city area,

the demigod behind him accelerated in pursuit, unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Boom...

Boom...

Boom...

Each strike was directly locked onto Gune.

Blasting Gune's scalp numb.

In this vast area without many obstacles, Gune had much less room to dodge.

Gune could only constantly flicker his figure to evade as best he could, while speeding frantically toward his own faction's territory.

But the demigod was not slow either, simply launching a relentless assault.

Pounding Gune until blood burst from his entire body.

But Gune simply would not die; he bore the damage and recovered frantically.

As Gune was being chased by this demigod, the commotion of the battle was sensed by the powerful beings in the vast underground city area.

When the two burst out, seeing a demigod chasing a Fourth-Rank Saint,

it immediately drew a crowd of onlookers.

A demigod killing a Saint was like an adult bullying a kindergartener—a one-sided slaughter.

But at this moment, the Fourth-Rank Saint was not quickly slain; instead, his speed was strangely fast, his defense astonishing, and his vitality tenaciously terrifying.

Even when a demigod's attack landed on him, he could still withstand it and continue fleeing.

This caused many strong individuals to secretly praise this little Saint.

To have such strength at the Saint realm was no simple feat.

Seeing that there was still a long distance ahead, and the demigod behind was relentlessly pursuing him, Gune directly roared: "Spirit Lord, come save me!"

Gune's roar echoed.

The late-stage demigod "Dakla" pursuing behind felt a tightening in his heart.

All along the way, he had been frantically chasing this Saint-level brat.

But this Saint-level brat's speed was in no way inferior to an ordinary demigod.

Moreover, the toughness of his physical body and the intensity of his life force were astonishingly terrifying.

Even he himself, after enduring so many attacks, would be half-crippled or even on the verge of death.

But this little Saint had maintained a perfect state from start to finish, frantically fleeing.

Such defensive power, such recovery ability, left him utterly astonished.

Undoubtedly, such an incredible top-tier Saint would be welcomed by any force in this region.

At this moment, the other party was calling for help from a spirit lord, and Dakla couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After all, if the other party's spirit lord really made a move, even if he escaped, he would be severely injured.

In a moment of hesitation, Dakla's attacks slowed, and even his pursuit speed decreased.

If a spirit lord really made a move, he would definitely flee at the first opportunity.

Taking advantage of this time, Gune frantically widened the distance.

Dakla, who had paused slightly, found that no spirit lord made a move, and only then did he suddenly realize that he had been fooled by this brat.

"Courting death!" Enraged, Dakla roared, his divine power erupting as he chased at full speed.

Boom, boom, boom...

Another round of frenzied bombardment caught up, even fiercer than before.

"Spirit Lord Sogra, quickly kill this demigod chasing me!" Gune roared again, even calling out a name.

This time, Dakla learned his lesson and did not stop his actions, instead attacking while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

However, no spirit lord made a move.

"Brat, that cunning trick of yours won't work a second time," Dakla roared.

"The cave ahead is the force I belong to, with five spirit lords and twenty demigods. If you dare enter, you will surely be slain!" Gune threatened hoarsely.

"Five spirit lords, twenty demigods? A braggart who doesn't even bother to draft a lie."

"Even if there are spirit lords and demigods, I will still slay you." Dakla sneered.

He had figured out this Saint-level brat; there was no spirit lord backing him. Today, he would definitely kill this Saint-level brat.

In rapid flight, Gune plunged headlong into a wide tunnel.

Dakla, without a second thought, chased directly inside.
