Chapter 496: The Diamond Golem Race
Back on Krune's side, Light Spirit noticed a change.
"Something is wrong. Feifei's speed increased a lot, and she is dashing at full speed here."
Krune narrowed his eyes.
"It is because she is worried about me? No, she knows that I can take care of myself."
Heavin pondered a bit.
"Feifei would do that if she knew that Fie was here, no? Perhaps she knows that and is coming as fast as possible. She might be able to predict it with her Destiny Major Divine Soul, after all."
Krune thought that Heavin had a point. However, he was still worried.
"Laex, you are the fastest of us here. Can I bother you to bring us there faster?"
After six months, Laex had finally stepped into the 2nd Stage of the Divine Path Realm. In fact, it happened just a single month after Krune found him, so he had been in the 2nd stage for 5 months. That being said, he was quite close to the 3rd stage as well.
"Alright, leave it to me."
Laex then returned to his Dragon Form, which was already quite enormous. But then, it shrank quite a lot until he was just big enough to carry Krune and Fie. After entering the Divine Path Realm, a Demon Beasts can control its body size to a certain degree, and that's what Laex did just now.
After Krune and Fie flew to his back, Laex fused with his Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. His overall strength increased, including his speed. With a flash of Purple-Black Light, their group disappeared in the distance.
One streak of light passed, and sometime later, another one followed. The Bear had following Feifei for an hour already, but it could only decrease their distance little by little. Feifei was almost as fast as itself, which increased its belief that Feifei was one of those super-geniuses that always got Godly Energy Stones. It was dead set on catching her now.
Feifei looked behind with her Mental Energy and narrowed her eyes. That demon beast was 7 stages above her cultivation, and also in the next realm. It would be too difficult to defend if she was caught.
"I can only rely on my Illusion of Destiny domain when the time comes."
Feifei was expecting two things. One was to meet with Krune and join forces to deal with the Bear. The other was to bump into another Divine Path Realm and use the chance to escape. However, the second option would be too risky and without any guarantee that it would work.
Still, she had no other choice. She was already flying at her top speed, but the Bear was slowly catching her up.
Finally, The Bear was close enough to start his attack. But it was at this very moment that the Bear and Feifei were caught of guard.
The ground under them exploded! Thousands of boulders shot into the sky at alarming speeds. Be it the Bear or Feifei, neither had time to think about the other anymore. That's because they could feel it with their Divine Sense. Those boulders were not just rocks, but where filled with the Earth Laws. Or to be more specific, the entire Major Law of Earth!
"Illusion of Destiny Domain!"
Immediately, thousands of illusion of boulders started to appear on Feifei's vision. Still, they were just to fast, so Feifei had to fight one or another when she didn't have space or time enough to move.
The Bear was in an even worse state. First, because it was in its true form, so it was much bigger. Second, because its race doesn't excel at speed. However, the Bear's defense was far higher than others, so it was smashing one boulder after another.
Seeing how Feifei was doing her best to dodge these boulders, the Bear immediately understood that it had nothing to do with that girl. They had been ambushed by someone else. The Bear was also a little proficient in the Earth Laws, so it knew that whoever it was, it was definitely much stronger. Just the complete Major Law of Earth was enough for the Bear to understand that it isn't a match.
Suddenly, the Bear received a Divine Sense message.
"I don't care about the fact that you were trying to catch me. If this continues, we are both dead. I will allow you to see the illusions of my Domain, so focus on the defense."
The Bear was taken aback. But suddenly, several boulders illusions began to appear. One of them passed through the Bear, which gave it quite a fright.
"Those are the illusions of a small moment in the future, pay attention."
At some point, Feifei appeared right above the Bear and focused on keeping the Illusion of Destiny going. The Bear gritted its teeth and did as she said. With those illusions showing what was going to happen, its defense got watertight, which finally lifted the pressure it was feeling.
'Such a fantastic Domain. Just how long would I need to fight her if she used it to predict my moves?'
Still, the Bear put those thoughts on the back of its mind and focused on defending the two of them.
Although it took time to explain, the entire event didn't last more than a minute.
In the end, both the Bear and Feifei survived that calamity. However, they didn't dissolve their alliance straight away. The main culprit for that ambush is definitely close to them. Now that his first attack failed, the enemy will most likely appear to finish the job.
"Hoho! To think that you would really survive my ambush with just this much damage. I guess I underestimated your abilities too much."
Sure enough, the ground below them began to tremble as if there was an earthquake happening. An enormous spiritual pressure then fell on Feifei and the Bear at the same time. Feeling that, both their eyes narrowed. This wasn't someone they could afford to fight.
Slowly, the Earth below began to move. It then caved in, and a giant demon beast emerged. Seeing that, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"The Diamond Golem Race!"
Both Feifei and the Bear's expressions turned much worse after seeing that guy. The Diamond Golems are also considered a Divine Beast race, and a powerful one at that. But that wasn't the main issue. The problem was that this Diamond Golem was already in the 6th Stage of the Divine Path Realm! Both the Bear or Feifei couldn't fight such a thing.
'No wonder I felt the entire Major Law of Earth. If it is the Diamond Golem Race, then that makes sense.'
Suddenly, Feifei landed on the back of the Scarlet Bear.
"What?!"
"Little Girl, do you think I'm your mount? If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being nasty."
Feifei shook her head, though.
"If we want to have any chance at escaping, we will need to rely on my Illusion of Destiny Domain. Thanks to your cultivation, you are faster and stronger than me, so stop complaining and start running! But make sure to pay attention to the Illusions of the future that I'll be showing you."
The Scarlet Bear gritted its teeth in fury. For the Bear, it was a complete humiliation to have a human using itself as a mount. But after taking one last look at the Golem, the Bear knew that it had no other choice. Between its pride and life, it was very easy to understand which one was more valuable.
"At first, I just wanted your items. But now I changed my head. If we survive, I will definitely give you a beating!"
"Hmph! If you were not pursuing me, how would we have ended in such a situation? It was all your fault, now be a good mount and go. Or do you want me to put some reins on you first?"
"Fuck you!"
Still, all this conversation was made through Divine Sense, so it only took a second. The Bear then turned in the direction that Feifei showed it and immediately began to flee!
"Oh?! You think you can escape from me? Haha!"
Suddenly, an enormous pressure began to attract the Bear towards the Diamond Golem.
'Gravity Field!'
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
The Bear couldn't help but curse again.
The Diamond Golem wasn't fast. But with that enormous gravitational pull, it was simply too hard to fly away from him.
"Stop complaining. Follow the direction that I will show you."
The Bear got a set of directions on the ground below and felt confused for a moment. However, it wasn't that time to think about it. The Bear immediately approached the ground and began to fly just a few meters above it while escaping.
As it did that, Feifei looked behind and couldn't help but feel impressed by that Golem's Earth Laws. His gravitational pull was much stronger than Krune's. One must remember that Krune's Gravity Laws was already at culmination!
'So that is how strong someone's laws become once they comprehend all the sub-laws and merge them.'
Surprisingly, as soon as the Bear began to follow the patterns that Feifei showed, the Gravitational Pull decreased a lot!
'We can do it!'
The Diamond Golem narrowed his eyes, though.
'How do they know my gravity field weak points?'
'It's that girl, she is the reason!'
That was correct. Obviously, Feifei couldn't predict anything about the Diamond Golem due to her lack of cultivation. That being said, Feifei used herself as the focus of her divination to tell which direction would have been the one with the least amount of pulling force on her body.
"You think you can escape?!"
"Stone Domain!"
The Major law of Earth began to act, covering both Feifei and the Scarlet Bear at the same time. That Earth Law began to penetrate their bodies, trying to transform them into stones. Seeing that, the Scarlet Bear's eyes went red.
"Might Domain!"
A Domain created to help increase its power to the limit. It had no side effects on the enemies but could make his overall strength soar. That included its defense against the Stone Domain of the Diamond Golem.
Thanks to that, the pressure on his body decreased while his speed went up quite a lot. However, Feifei wasn't faring as well as him.
"Hey, little girl, you better hold in there! If you become a stone, we both will die."
That was true. Feifei wasn't only telling the Bear the safe route, but her Illusion of Destiny was also preventing the Bear from being caught by the Diamond Golem's ranged attacks. There were several types of earth attacks coming at it all the time. The Bear was only able to dodge, defend, or destroy them because it knew where they would appear.
Unfortunately, Feifei could already feel her body stiffing despite her best efforts.
'It can't continue like this!'
