231: run!

At this moment, Chen De suddenly felt a fatal crisis.

This feeling was extremely intense; Chen De had only experienced it when facing individuals capable of effortlessly eliminating him.

And now, the source of this feeling for Chen De was precisely the Black-Robed Figure in his hand.

Thus, Chen De instinctively and without hesitation, flung it away.

Subsequently, that fatal sense of crisis vanished.

Chen De looked at where the Black-Robed Figure landed, his eyes filled with apprehension and confusion.

Then, Chen De did not stop; to verify his guess, he once again charged forward and brutally beat it.

However, in the following moments, Chen De discovered that whenever he was about to deliver a killing blow to the Black-Robed Figure, that fatal sense of crisis would immediately reappear.

After flinging it away again, Chen De did not continue the pursuit.

After finding an opportunity to break free, the Black-Robed Figure immediately shattered space and departed.

This time, Chen De did not stop him and let him leave.

Chen De stood in place, his expression unreadable, pondering something.

It was meaningless.

Chen De couldn't kill it now, and staying here would only waste Chen De's time.

Since that was the case, it was better to let it go and deal with it later when an opportunity arose.

Then, Chen De noticed another spatial fluctuation coming from beside him.

Chen De turned his gaze there to see what was happening.

It turned out that the Black-Robed Figure had just shattered the space here, temporarily allowing for spatial teleportation.

And the Lin family's Eldest Daughter was currently being teleported by that Ring Old Man.

However, his cultivation was far inferior to that of the Black-Robed Figure.

Even with the foundation of the space already shattered by the Black-Robed Figure, it was not easy for this Ring Old Man to take advantage of it and break out.

But compared to just now, there was at least a glimmer of possibility.

A glint of light flashed in Chen De's eyes.

Heh, interesting, he ran off himself, but left the person he was supposed to protect.

......

After seeing the Black-Robed Figure depart through space, the ethereal elder took action and initiated a teleportation method.

The result was that it was still useless.

Upon realizing this, the ethereal elder suddenly began to frantically bombard the surrounding space.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Watching the ethereal elder madly activate spatial power, causing the surrounding space to tremble, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"There's no time for a detailed explanation now. I'll send you a soul message; you digest it yourself!

Whether we, master and disciple, live or die today, depends on this one move."

The ethereal elder had no intention of explaining further; a stream of light emanated from him and merged into Lin Zhao's mind.

After digesting it, a look of hatred appeared on Lin Zhao's face.

According to her master's words and the changes in the Shenguang Empire, it was inferred that the Qian Guang Empire and the Zhongguang Empire becoming that way was very likely caused by the person who had gained the upper hand above.

Because if it had been caused by the Black-Robed Figure, the space here should have returned to normal after it departed.

But it didn't; not only that, but apart from the area he was constantly bombarding, the surrounding space became increasingly stable.

And if those two empires were indeed affected by this person who had gained the upper hand, now that he had won, what fate awaited this place next?

The other two empires couldn't escape, and the Shenguang Empire would very likely follow in their footsteps.

Therefore, upon realizing this, the ethereal elder immediately began to constantly bombard the surrounding space, enlarging the cracks caused by the Black-Robed Figure's departure, only then might there be a glimmer of hope.

However, the longer the Black-Robed Figure was gone, the more subtle the cracks the ethereal elder managed to enlarge became each time.

Almost every strike had a smaller impact than the previous one.

And the ethereal elder's figure was also becoming transparent at a visible speed.

Seeing the changes in her master's body, Lin Zhao, forgetting her hatred, couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, you..."

"Don't worry about that for now; we can talk about it when we're out."

The ethereal elder let out a furious roar, and an unknown flame ignited all over his body, "Open up for me, you bastard!"

Once the flames appeared, the ethereal elder's attack speed accelerated even more, becoming even faster than when he first started.

Even the rate at which the continuously decreasing cracks were produced slowed down a bit.

Finally, just as the ethereal elder was about to become completely transparent and invisible, with his last strike, a crack finally appeared in the space.

The ethereal elder now no longer had the ability to perform a directional spatial teleportation.

Even earlier, when he wanted to teleport to Zhongzhou, he could only select a general direction, potentially sending her to any location in Zhongzhou.

Even so, it would still cause him immense exhaustion.

And now, the ethereal elder could no longer afford such consumption.

Just now, in order to shatter this space as quickly as possible before the recovery speed surpassed the cracking speed, he had already burned away most of his primordial soul power.

Now, even if he wanted to continue teleporting by burning his primordial soul power, even if he burned it all up, it would be far from enough.

Originally, he planned to break through space, which would be equivalent to opening a connection with the outside world.

At that time, he could then use spatial teleportation to escape.

However, the ethereal elder's remaining power was now far from sufficient to achieve this.

Therefore, he could only manage a semi-finished random teleportation.

The failure rate was extremely high, and there was a high possibility of falling into a spatial rift and being torn apart by spatial turbulence.

With their current strength, once they encountered spatial turbulence, death was certain.

And spatial rifts were filled with spatial turbulence everywhere.

But now, they had no other choice.

"Go!"

The ethereal elder roared and was about to take Lin Zhao away.

At this moment, Chen De had already appeared behind the ethereal elder and Lin Zhao.

Thus, Chen De struck decisively, grabbing towards the two of them.

The ethereal elder also felt an inexplicable suction force, so he pushed Lin Zhao away with a shove.

The ethereal elder still wanted to close the spatial rift, but he had already been seized by Chen De.

Chen De did not hesitate; as soon as he had him in hand, he immediately performed soul-searching, every soul's favorite method.

Immediately, a violent, joyful sound echoed through the field.

At the moment she was pushed into the spatial rift, Lin Zhao suddenly looked back and wailed, "Master!"

Chen De looked at the spatial rift in front of him and the woman within it.

So he struck suddenly, wanting to pull her out.

He found that it was already too late; this spatial teleportation was originally just a semi-finished product.

Chen De's terrifying power entering it was simply something a mere semi-finished product could not withstand.
