Chapter 1780

Ten minutes later.

As the pressure surged again, they dared not use spatial transmission, lest they attract Hei Di's attention.

At this very moment, the two pursuing teams, now split, were straining to sprint across the battlefield just as Lin An had when he first entered the fight.

From high above, they looked like two long earth dragons, moving in a pincer formation to search for Hei Di and his companions.

Time trickled by, and just as the Chimera Emperor grew somewhat impatient, for the sixth time he asked the other team whether they had found any trace of Hei Di.

The next second, following the terrifying roar's reappearance, the Thousand-Eyed Master suddenly shouted loudly.

"Southeast, forty-seven degrees!"

"There are traces of lingering rules there!"

As the Thousand-Eyed Master, whose perception and detection range were the farthest, he was now filled with wild joy; having secretly memorized everyone's aura, he instantly recognized that the black-light rule was uniquely Hei Di's.

Heaven does not betray those who strive! That damned rat has finally been found by them!

Without hesitation, he directly pursued in the direction of the trace.

In his perception, this rule had definitely just been used not long ago; Hei Di must be nearby!

Upon finally seeing Hei Di's trail, the Chimera Emperor also felt a great relief, his expression shaking.

After instantly notifying the other team, she also rushed over.

In an instant, the six Star-Destroyers shot forth like meteors, suddenly breaking through the void and flying together.

As expected, just a few seconds later, while the group strained to fly in midair, expending extra rule-power, they instantly spotted a protrusion on the ground.

Although it seemed insignificant, knowing Hei Di was nearby, how could they possibly overlook it?!

"Underground!"

"Watch the underground! Hei Di is very likely hiding beneath the ground!"

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

Without hesitation.

Almost no need to communicate anything.

Only seeing that they realized Hei Di was nearby, the Chimera Emperor and the Overlord, as if sharing a tacit understanding, both sides struck simultaneously.

If you dare hide underground, then we'll blast this area to pieces!

Ashen Dragon Flame!

Frost Breath!

Accompanied by the simultaneous eruption of one red and one blue elemental rule, the massive sword swung by the Overlord also roared toward the earth!

As if to destroy the very land itself, under the six Star-Destroyers' unrestricted use of universal rules, the battlefield ground, spanning several kilometers, instantly shattered.

The high-density rock vaporized by the intense heat turned into deadly steam, which, in the blink of an eye, was compressed into powder by gravity.

Accompanied by the violent explosion's roar, in less than 0.1 seconds the entire area became a hell of rules!

At the same moment, before the Chimera Emperor could even open his dragon maw in anger to launch a second assault,

a streak of black shadow, moving at extreme speed, burst desperately out of the flames!

A vast yet somewhat weakened black light suddenly unfurled like a ribbon; this movement clearly showed Hei Di being forced out, able only to flee desperately!

"We've found him!!"

Seeing the forced-out Hei Di, the Thousand-Eyed Master's heart swelled with joy; locking his thousand eyes on him, he excitedly shot forth a great amount of corrosive light.

At the same time, the forced-to-flee Hei Di's expression changed drastically.

He pushed his rules to the limit, not hesitating even if it tore open wounds that had just barely healed.

Merely beholding the Chimera Emperor and others closing in from all directions, his heart was filled with utter despair.

Damn it! He's too fast! Or rather, he simply can't run anymore!

His rules were already heavily depleted, and the ever-increasing gravity made him dare not waste them lightly.

As a result, those dozen or so seconds of escape time were nowhere near enough for him to get far!

What to do?! What to do?!

His eyes were about to burst.

After withstanding the Overlord's fury-filled slash that shattered rules, the black emperor, nearly cut to pieces, could only desperately flee toward the Light Master's direction.

His only hope now was to gamble that the Chimera Emperor and company would not dare go all-out to kill him, giving him a chance to escape via the weakest Light Master's direction.

However, that hope was quickly snuffed out.

As several spatial rules appeared.

The Star-Destroyer squad rushing in from another direction at top speed instantly blocked the Light Master's direction.

"Hei Di! Hand over Lin An! Surrender your resistance!"

"You think you can still get away?!"

"Where is Lin An?! Hand him over, and we'll give you a quick death!"

Seeing that Hei Di had nowhere left to flee, yet no trace of Lin An was visible.

Led by the Chimera Emperor, the thirteen Star-Destroyers who swiftly surrounded him could not help but shout angry threats.

If Hei Di refuses to reveal that person's whereabouts, they have no qualms about using the most brutal means to force him to comply!

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent of everyone, Hei Di's heart plunged into utter despair.

Such a situation is practically the most hopeless dead end he has ever faced in his life!

He certainly knows these Star-Destroyers won't let him go—but Lin An truly isn't in his hands!

In his breakdown, sensing that the second wave of attack was about to overwhelm him, with no escape left, Hei Di could only shout in sorrowful rage.

"You can't kill me!!"

"Lin An isn't in my hands! I was deceived too!!"

Kill me, and you'll all die!!

Never expecting Hei Di to say such words, at the moment the encirclement formed, the leader of the Chimera Emperor was instantly taken aback.

What do you mean!? Lin An isn't here?

Without waiting for the crowd, as if they simply didn't believe, he shouted in shock and anger.

Having gained a slight chance to breathe, Hei Di's eyes filled with sorrow and anger; he could only speak again:

"Black Lock! The abnormality of Black Lock was caused by that person!"

"I don't know what he's trying to do! But if you don't go stop him now, we'll all die!"

"Chimera Emperor, you should know what I'm going to say!!"

"We've all been deceived!!"

As the words fell, the Chimera Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before she could instinctively try to clarify what Hei Di was actually saying,

"Boom!!!"

Above the heavenly canopy, a black lock hundreds of thousands of meters long, like a broken pendulum, burst open and fell from the sky.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Spiral Star Domain, Star Battlefield Region: an A-level disaster has appeared!"

"The mission scene is under attack! Please, the Overseer of this area, handle it immediately!"

"Warning! Warning!"

Instantly it sounded, the alarm fully reverberated throughout the entire star field.

A super existence like a giant eyeball stared with wide-eyed astonishment at the reddish-black virtual star map before it.

Those continually falling white dots, like a rain of annihilation, were about to engulf the star world.

Death Spiral.
