Chapter 551: Natural Disaster

Regrettably, his plan was not as effective as he hoped it would be. A few of the enemy were wounded by flying lava, but for the most part they were intact. Having caught up with him, Sage felt the number of pursuers increasing, the only problem being that they werent foolish enough to get tangled up with the natural disaster following him. Instead of getting killed by the giant tortoise, they just shadowed it from the sides. Hed brought this behemoth back to try and use it against them, but now it was being used by them. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

A couple of the Fu Clan traveled underneath the giant tortoise, clinging to its underbelly. Theyd somehow managed to escape its notice and withstand the proximity to its volcano heat. The other groups spread out to the sides, letting the tortoise follow him while they spread out in a hunting or search pattern to make sure he couldnt slip away.

Sage could only resign himself to his fate. Using the tortoise like this, he couldnt change his trajectory very easily. Before, he could just make wide turns with the tortoise stuck following behind him. Now that the others had created a sort of wall behind him, if he turned theyd be able to catch up to him. He was forced to flee in a straight line directly away from them if he wanted to keep from being ambushed.

Well, at least the Fu Clan had to pull back. Constantly being harassed by them was not fun.

Even if theyd only been surrounding him for a few hours, hed felt the pressure. It was already stressful enough to be constantly on the run from the giant turtle, but as much as he hated to think about it, he was already quite experienced with a life on the run. After having spent a couple years on the run, hed become somewhat resilient to the struggle.

Theyd learned their lesson at that point and let the tortoise lead the chase. While the tortoise got to rest, Sage did not. He had to maintain a sort of half-aware state at all times, ready to react to a surprise attack. Driven to the edge, it didnt take long for him to remember how to sleep with his eyes open and ready to wake at even the slightest disturbance. He suffered for it, but he was a Nascent Soul, and at this pace it would likely take a decade to break him. A battle between normal people was measured in the minutes, while two Nascent Souls could go on for weeks. They would need to throw a lot more at him to stop him. The giant tortoise also didnt need to rest, so much as it was just gathering more material to spit at him. Sage recharged his energy stores while the monster reloaded.

Even so, this couldnt go on. He wasnt heading towards anywhere in specific. At this point, he was basically relying on dumb luck. Would he stumble onto something that killed him, or saved him? The situation was far from ideal.

Yet, he was far from giving up.

There was a whole world within him. When he first achieved the 5th rank, time there was ten times faster than the real world. More amazingly, every time he improved it would become a fold stronger. When he was a level 58, an eighth stage Core Formation Cultivator in the local parlance, the time dilation had improved to eighty times normal. When he broke through to the 6th rank that multiplier was at 100 times. Sage was now a level 63, due to increasing his degree with the Law of Corruption, and time on the Inner World was 300 times that of the outside world.

While he ran for a few weeks on the outside world, nearly twelve years had passed on the inside. The Tiankong Siblings had already healed up long ago and were organizing many initiatives. For one thing, the Inner World had never been calm. Their mothers led the administration of the largest city in the Inner World. They drove the descendants of the many Hoplites, Dragoons, and humans who had taken refuge on the planet to improve. The many techniques that Sage had acquired in his years of travel and adventure were used as rewards for fighting tournaments. Those with the greatest talent were rewarded with skills and they used those skills to found their own Clans and Sects.
