Chapter 608: Chapter 35 Xilan: Where are the Elders? (Subscribe Please)

Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Deep within layers upon layers of spatial layers, two presences were engaged in a chase, one pursuing the other.

However, it was quite evident that the pursuing presence was far stronger than the fleeing one.

Even as time passed, the fleeing presence was slowly exhausting.

Just when the pursuer was about to close in completely, the fleeing party would always manage to slip through the narrow gaps between the many spatial layers.

It was akin to a hundred-meter giant chasing after an ant, which, by leveraging the terrain, could make the giant return empty-handed to some extent.

Of course, the pursuit and escape among Ninth Rank powerhouses across multiple spatial layers was much more complex than a chase within a single space.

Even within the peculiar conditions of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, as more time was delayed, the stronger party would occupy more spatial layers, and the fleeing side’s options for turning and shifting spaces would become increasingly narrow.

Eventually, it was like a bird in a cage, completely locked in.

Being caught was just a matter of time.

“It has been two and a half years.”

Xilan seized the chance and in an instant, crossed from one spatial layer to another, once again widening the gap from Hunyi.

However, this was only a temporary reprieve, as within less than half an hour, Hunyi had caught up again.

“I can feel it, more and more spatial layers are being occupied, and the room for me to hide is getting smaller and smaller…”

Xilan sighed internally.

This was the gap brought about by absolute power, where his own opened spatial layers were less than a million, whereas Hunyi was from the Tianyu Clan, one of the strongest Ninth Rank beings of the peak clans.

He had opened up over thirty million spatial layers!

If it were not for the restrictions within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, suppressing any instantaneous movement techniques,

and the fact that Xilan was actively burning everything, even his spirit will, for a significant increase in power,

he would likely have been captured by Hunyi long ago.

Even so, Xilan faintly felt that he might not be able to hold on much longer.

First, Hunyi was about to completely occupy all nearby spatial layers, and second, there wasn’t much of his spirit will left to burn.

“I’ll hold on for another half-year.”

Xilan steadied himself and glanced at Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner of his inner world.

He had a lot of trust in Lin Yuan. Since the Galactic Star Master had said that as long as he could endure for three years, they could wait for the support of an “elder”, Xilan had never doubted it.

“I wonder which strong being from human civilization is the elder of the Galactic Star Master?” Xilan was somewhat curious. The master of the Galactic Star Master was the Chikun Star Lord.

However, the Chikun Star Lord was only an invincible Eighth Layer being. Even if he had broken through to the Ninth Rank, he would still be far from capable of providing support for them. Evolvers who had just entered the Ninth Rank, in the face of a strong Ninth Rank being like Hunyi from one of the large peak clans, were nothing more than a one-strike affair.

He, Xilan, had managed to persevere until now by burning everything and also due to the secret techniques obtained from the Supreme Evolution Path inheritance from human civilization, as well as the special environment of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

“If it’s not the Chikun Star Lord… Perhaps it’s one of those Ninth Rank beings from human civilization who have opened up over twenty million spatial layers,” Xilan pondered internally.

This was his only pleasure during the chase.

To rescue them from Hunyi’s hands, a standard Nine-stage Million-layer Realm human Evolver wouldn’t suffice; at least those who had opened up twenty million spatial layers were needed to contain Hunyi and buy time for their safe withdrawal.

“Twenty million spatial layers…” Xilan felt a slight sense of awe in his heart. The longer he practiced at the Ninth Rank, the more he realized the difficulty of opening spatial layers.

Opening spatial layers was merely the surface; what was more important was the profound understanding of the essence of space. Without sufficient grasp, one couldn’t maintain the layers, and even if forcibly created, they would collapse quickly.

To be fair, Xilan still held a bit of admiration for beings like Hunyi, who had opened up far beyond ten million layers, because he knew how challenging it was.

At that moment,

Hunyi, who was pursuing from behind, transmitted his voice again.

“Xilan, I know that you’re desperately trying to escape, striving to buy time, wanting to protect the treasures you’ve acquired within the secret realm.”

“In that case, I can promise you that if you hand over the Galactic Star Master, I will let you leave, and all the opportunities and treasures you’ve obtained within the secret realm can be taken with you.”

Hunyi continued, “You should know what a promise from me, Hunyi, means, even if we belong to opposing camps, I will adhere to it.”

Hunyi was growing impatient with the chase, which had gone on for more than two years. If it continued, who knows, it might waste another three to five months.

From beginning to end, Hunyi’s target had been to kill the Galactic Star Master, or rather, to kill one of the avatars of the Galactic Star Master, to settle some recent grudges from the battlefield.

As for Xilan… Hunyi had never truly regarded him.

If it were not for being in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, with his strength, the chase would not have needed to last this long.

“Ha ha ha ha ha, you Tianyu birds are still trying to drive a wedge between me and the Galactic Star Master,” Xilan was completely unmoved.

As an Evolver from human civilization, Xilan understood his foundations very well.

At this moment, the biggest crisis he faced was merely whether this avatar would fall here and whether the secret treasures and opportunities gained from the secret realm could be returned.

But to hand over the Galactic Star Master? Aside from the act of betraying human civilization, just considering the latent talent shown by the Galactic Star Master, he, Xilan, wasn’t stupid. How could he possibly make such a choice?

On the contrary, dying alongside the Galactic Star Master in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm would only deepen the camaraderie between them.

“Alright then, prepare to leave behind this avatar completely.” Hunyi no longer tried to persuade and continued the chase. Over the past two years, he had transmitted his voice more than once, but every time, Xilan had answered with ridicule.
