Chapter 497: Running
The Earth Elements kept entering Feifei's body, and she could already feel her skin hardening. But it was then that Feifei had an idea.
'Light Spirit's Purple Tribulation Lightning can eat all laws, then maybe...'
Feifei took out that broken piece of Krune's old Tribulation Shield. This is what she used to find Krune's direction, but it was also filled with Purple Tribulation Lightning.
However, Feifei couldn't control Purple Tribulation Lightning. So it was a risky choice.
Nevertheless, Feifei gritted her teeth and pressed the broken piece. Immediately, a current of Purple Tribulation Lightning ran through her body.
"Argh!"
Although it was just for a second, Light Spirit's power was no joke. Still, Feifei was able to resist it. Sure enough, the Earth Laws that were entering her body were also destroyed by the Purple Tribulation Lightning. It is not that the Diamond Golem's laws were weak to be destroyed so fast. It's just that they were already fighting against Feifei's own resistance. Once the Tribulation Lightning passed through, the little advantage that it had on Feifei crumbled, wiping it out instantly.
The Diamon Golem in the distance noticed that, and his eye narrowed.
'Just now, my Earth Laws were... eaten? What was the Purple Lightning? It looked like she was attacking herself with that, though.'
But he soon put thoughts behind.
'Hmph! Let's see how many times you can do it to yourself.'
Indeed, Feifei's body received quite some damage. She was already hard-pressed against the Earth Laws from the Stone Domain, so she didn't have the time to protect against Light Spirit's Purple Tribulation Lightning either.
'But this is good enough.'
The stone transformation immediately vanished, and it would need to start again from zero. Besides, Feifei got more used to its effects, so she was much better prepared now.
The Scarlet Bear saw that her complexion got better and sighed in relief.
"Hold tight, I'm speeding up!"
Feifei nodded, and they shot forward once more.
However, the Diamond Golem didn't want to give up. Its pride couldn't allow them to escape under his eyes.
His body began to shrink, just like Laex's. With that, his speed started to increase. However, the gravitational pull generated by his body also decreased. Still, Feifei noticed that his extra speed more than compensated for that.
Feifei's eyes narrowed for a second, but she quickly recovered.
"Illusion of Destiny Domain, Second Form!"
Krune and the others were not the only ones to get better during all this time. With Feifei's improvement with her Destiny Laws, her Domain also became a lot more versatile. However, she couldn't use it before since the Diamond Golem was too far away. His Domain could reach her, but her Domain couldn't do the same. But now that his speed increased, he entered her Domain range in just a few minutes of pursuit.
Suddenly, the Diamon Golem began to see several Scarlet Bears and Feifeis. Not only that, but his Divine Sense simply couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. He couldn't be blamed, though. Those were not simply illusions, but images of the several futures that Feifei could have chosen. It was the same Domain Ability as the one used by Tikal Barax when he fought against Krune. The difference was that Feifei could keep both traits at the same time now.
The Diamond Golem was taken aback. Which one should he follow? However, there was a flaw in this ability. Once the Illusion left Feifei's Domain Range, it would disappear. The same happened if the Diamond Golem left her Domain Range as well. Still, that's what Feifei wanted.
'If he stays out of my Domain Range, he won't be able to approach us. If he comes in, the Illusions of Destiny will keep coming out nonstop. Even if you are lucky and start following our real bodies, more illusions of other choices will appear right after. How many times can you make the right choice?'
Sure enough, everything played as Feifei predicted. The Diamond Golem entered her Illusion of Destiny a few times and ended making the wrong choices. Only when those illusions left Feifei's Domain Range would they disappear. That only made the Diamond Golem even more furious.
"Little girl, I don't believe you can resist my Stone Domain for much longer. Once I get you, even god won't be able to save your life."
He was right. After another 30 minutes of pursuit, Feifei's body began to show the same issues again. She then gritted her teeth and left the Purple Tribulation Lightning to pass through her body once more.
Her body got even more damaged, and her Domain almost crumbled. The Scarlet Bear looked at that nervously. For a second, it thought that Feifei would lose consciousness.
"Hahaha! Little girl, how many more of those shocks can you resist? Too bad you didn't pass out just now."
The several Feifei's Illusion looked back at the Diamond Golem and smiled at the same time.
"Is that so?"
She then took a pill out of her Spatial Ring and swallowed it. Almost instantly, her body injuries began to heal at a frightening speed! In just a few seconds, there wasn't a single mark left anymore.
Be it the Diamond Golem or the Scarlet Bear, they were both dumbstruck.
'Just what kind of heaven-defying pill was that? Was there such a strong pill?'
The Golem pondered a bit.
'Perhaps it was a healing pill above the Stars Path level. No, wait! That is impossible. Such a pill is too strong for her cultivation level, it would cause more damage instead. But then, how?'
Of course, there was a pill capable of such high healing capabilities. And it worked for anyone at the Void Breaking Realm and below. Krune's Purple Flame Life Dew Pill! The normal Life Dew Pill couldn't be kept since its power would disappear very fast. Thankfully, this was the Purple Flame Life Dew Pill, which only Krune's group, Olave, and a few others knew about.
His Purple Flame effect was capable of keeping the Life Dew Properties that any other pill wouldn't. Krune had made a few of those with Olave's help in the past and gave them out. Feifei, obviously, had them.
The pursuit continued. On the way, they did pass by a few other cultivators and demon beasts. But after they noticed the Diamond Golem, no one dared to intervene. Diamond Golems were not to be trifled with.
Unfortunately, another problem began to appear. Feifei's cultivation is much lower than the Diamond Golem. Keeping her Domain Activated for so long was quite a burden too. Feifei was bringing out as many Spirit Stones as she could absorb. But the main issue was her soul power, which was greatly necessary to control the Domain.
The Scarlet Bear did its best to run, but its attention didn't leave Feifei. It didn't take long for the Bear to notice Feifei's pale complexion.
'She won't resist for long. What to do, what to do? Do I really need to rely on that?'
Time continued to pass, and Feifei was about to lose her consciousness. She had already passed her limits a long time ago, and what sustained her was pure willpower. Finally, she couldn't hold anymore and fell on the Scarlet Bear's back. Immediately after, the Illusion of Destiny Domain disappeared, bring all the Illusions with it.
On Krune's side, Light Spirit noticed that instantly.
"There is a change in my Tribulation Lightning Essence inside Feifei's body. I think she passed out."
Krune's group complexion worsened.
"How far?!"
"Not too far, just a few minutes ahead."
"Laex!"
"Don't worry, hold tight!"
Laex gritted his teeth and increased his speed even more. At his moment, he was going beyond his control of the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl. Obviously, that began to damage his own body.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm okay. If it is just a few minutes, I won't suffer much damage. All I need is enough time to rest after."
Krune nodded while looking at Fie and Little Arty.
"Little Arty, I'll leave you two here. Take care of Fie for a moment."
Little Arty knew that Fie would be of no help there, just another burden, so he immediately agreed.
Fie didn't want to stay behind, but Krune didn't have time to argue with her. Krune simply let her go while he and Laex disappeared in the distance.
Little Arty looked at Fie's awful expression before saying.
"Does it irritate you? That is because you are too weak! If you want to help them in the future, you have to become strong yourself."
Fie bit her lips and nodded. She wanted to help her mother, but she simply had no power to do so at the moment.
Back on Feifei's side, the Scarlet Bear saw the Illusion that helped it on the escape disappearing.
'No other choice then.'
Its eyes suddenly became red, and the fiery color of his fur seemed to turn ablaze. The Bear was now drawing the power of its bloodline! From now on, it could only rely on itself to escape. As for the side effects of doing such a thing, the Bear couldn't care anymore.
At the same time, Feifei was unconscious, so she wouldn't be able to hold herself on the Bear's back anymore. However, just as she was about to fall, the Scarlet Bear gritted its teeth and held her with its Spiritual Energy.
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The Scarlet Bear couldn't avoid all the Diamond Golem's ranged attack anymore. Still, with its bloodline being used, he simply smashed through them all!
"Hahaha! The girl is down already, so just give up. How long you think your bloodline will resist?"
As a Divine Beast, he immediately understood what the Scarlet Bear was doing, so he wasn't in a hurry. He knew that the bear would run out of power very soon.
However, it was then that he noticed a Black-Purple streak of light moving straight at him.
"Who dares to get in my way?!"
However, the streak of light didn't stop.
"Black Dragon Blast!"
"Tribulation Cannon!"
The fabric of Space broke apart, and Spatial Storms appeared everywhere those two attacks passed.
The Diamond Golem complexion turned serious. Neither of those two attacks could be ignored.
"Gravity Field, Reverse!"
"Earth Apocalypse!"
The pulling force of his Gravity Field then changed direction, repelling the two attacks. At the same time, the Diamond Golem returned to his original size while stomping the ground. Immediately, his Major Law of Earth entered the land below. The earth in a several kilometers radius trembled as an enormous mountain appeared between him and Krune's group attack.
*Boom!*
The Black Dragon Blast and Tribulation Cannon hit the mountain, completely pulverizing it. Nevertheless, it was enough to stop the attacks.
The Diamond Golem then looked at Krune and Laex on the other side. It was then that his attention was taken by Krune.
'Is that a Wisp?'
