Chapter 1078: Chapter 1068: Emperor Pan?
Intuition is a very mysterious thing; it’s invisible, untouchable, yet undeniably real.
This Land of Slumber, while it may have many opportunities, definitely comes with its share of dangers.
The previous dangers like Tian Can and Di Que, followed by the Abyss Black Mist, are all life-threatening.
On top of the White Bone Plain, aside from the heaps of bones, there seems to be no other dangers, but the real situation is certainly not as simple as it appears.
Not to mention anything else, even the Haotian chasing relentlessly behind, is an existence completely unbeatable for the many Quasi-Saints entering this place.
When they had just set foot on this White Bone Plain, someone in Chen Hai’s group had thought about soaring into the sky.
But just as he ascended twenty to thirty meters high, his vision went black, he lost sight, then plunged headlong from the sky, with even his arm being directly severed by a sudden spatial rift.
The sky within the Land of Slumber seems to carry some kind of restriction, unfriendly to outsiders like Chen Hai and his party.
Despite Haotian relentlessly chasing behind Chen Hai, riding the Nine Dragon Chariot across the sky without any mishap falling upon him.
However, this former Three Realms Supreme has slept as a dried corpse beneath this land for countless eons, so much so that he seems to have merged into the Land of Slumber, becoming a part of it.
No matter how many restrictions exist in the sky above the White Bone Plain, they simply have no effect on him.
Soaring through the sky is indeed faster than sprinting on the ground, yet if Chen Hai were to follow Haotian’s example, the result could be entirely different.
Chen Hai tends to trust his own intuition.
Since he senses that flying up into the sky might lead to something bad, for the sake of caution, he’d rather run slower than risk taking off.
Of course, he chooses this because he has confidence in himself.
Haotian, who has been chasing relentlessly behind him, is indeed a bit more powerful, but even if he really catches up, it would at most be another round of entanglement.
Before he exhausts himself, it should be unlikely for Haotian to strike him down.
Amidst their relentless struggle, as long as Chen Hai finds the right opportunity, he could still make an escape—not an evasion, but a strategic retreat, right?
After a slight pause, Chen Hai looked back, casting a glance at the sky.
Noticing the distance between the sky-riding Haotian and himself seemingly closing, he cursed under his breath and again shot forward.
After another one or two sticks of incense worth of time, feeling the distance between him and Haotian behind had shrunk to less than fifty miles, Chen Hai gritted his teeth, hesitating slightly at his feet.
This distance had already been within Haotian’s range of attack.
However, when his attacks crossed this stretch of distance to truly land on Chen Hai, they couldn’t harm Chen Hai protected by the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower.
The mummified Haotian, though slightly addled, did learn a bit of wisdom from his earlier encounter.
At this moment, he’s not launching attacks against Chen Hai, seemingly intending to get closer and then strike when he has the confidence to entangle Chen Hai firmly.
As for Chen Hai, he is aware of the speed difference between Haotian and himself, following this trend, at most one or two sticks of incense, he’ll certainly be caught by Haotian.
Given this, he might as well take the initiative to strike first.
If lucky, he might catch Haotian off guard, creating a chance for himself to widen the distance once again.
Just when he was about to turn around, a gigantic Pan Spider, looking like a bulldozer, rampaging across the White Bone Plain, came into his sight.
This Pan Spider charged towards them with an indescribably terrifying speed.
At first, it was just a small black dot; in the blink of an eye, when Chen Hai looked at it again, it was already close enough, showing its ferocious, gaping maw.
“Emperor Pan Ancestor, why is he appearing in the Land of Slumber?”
“Although I had guessed that those high up in the Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm didn’t physically descend into the Primordial due to certain reasons, Emperor Pan Ancestor appearing truly defies logic!”
“Since he’s here, what about the other Primordial Chaos Daluo beings? Have they entered here too?”
Although the Pan Spider looks extremely unfamiliar, Chen Hai is very familiar with its aura.
Just one glance, and he almost confirms the true identity of the Pan Spider.
Frowning slightly, thoughts swirled madly in Chen Hai’s mind.
He stopped in his tracks, initially betting to fight Haotian once more, his shoulders adorned with wings transformed by Nine Heavens Thunder Wings flapped a few times.
Like an arrow leaving the string, he charged towards the approaching Pan Spider faster than he fled before.
“This is perfect timing, Ancestor!”
“That mummy behind is incredibly formidable, several Quasi-Saints who entered with me have already fallen by his hand.”
“Though I escaped thanks to my speed, he’s been relentlessly pursuing me.”
“With your power, Ancestor, you can surely suppress this wretched thing with ease!”
…
Shouting excitedly with still quite a distance from the Emperor Pan Ancestor, Chen Hai appeared as if celebrating, beginning to wave repeatedly towards him.
Whether the Emperor Pan Ancestor was willing to help, he didn’t care; anyway, better to place a laurel upon him first.
“Young man, I remember you. That day in the Emperor Pan Palace, among the nine occupying the mat during the sermon, you were one of them, right?” The original gigantic Pan Spider, its form always twisting and transforming, directly turned into an eight-armed warrior.
He looked directly at Chen Hai, continuing, “Now tell me, what’s with this mummified man? From where did you provoke this?”
As a gigantic Pan Spider, he rushed in this direction initially because he sensed the power fluctuation between the chasing and fleeing of Chen Hai and Haotian.
Forced into the Land of Slumber alone, he had wandered around for some time.
Given his power, surely, he had gained something, though little of use for a proven Primordial being like him.
Where conflict happens, there usually are interests.
Emperor Pan Ancestor heading in this direction definitely isn’t for rescuing Chen Hai; rather, he presumably wants to see if any valuable entities exist here!
