Chapter 2288 - 2289: Land of Gloom! Third Watch
Di Nantian’s furious voice echoed from the rear, and at this moment, Ye Qiu had already turned around and fled.
After he threw out the poison pill, he immediately escaped.
He wasn’t sure if the poison pill could kill Di Nantian, but he felt that the chances were slim.
So, he left swiftly at the first opportunity.
Earlier, with the help of the poison pill, he had destroyed two heavenly palace divisions and killed many powerful beings, causing the heavenly palace significant losses. Subsequently, Ye Qiu thought of concocting some poison pills aimed at the heavenly palace, so after leaving the small world of the Du Gu family, Ye Qiu began to produce them.
Plus, after returning to the temporary headquarters of the Dan Shen Sect, he refined some more, increasing the number of poison pills he had considerably.
The method of using poison pills, Ye Qiu would not resort to easily, because this thing, if mishandled, could harm not only others but also oneself.
But facing the powerful Di Nantian, Ye Qiu couldn’t afford any scruples, otherwise, he would find it very difficult to shake off the opponent.
So at the moment when he boosted his strength to the peak, if the attack didn’t yield his desired outcome, Ye Qiu would bring out the poison pill and directly fling it while the opponent hadn’t regained his composure.
At this moment, Di Nantian was enveloped by the toxic fumes created by the poison pill’s explosion, his body being corroded, and he appeared withered and aged.
This immediately changed the appearance of Di Nantian, who was already seasoned by years.
Originally having a head of white hair matching his flawless skin, but now, his skin started showing various blotches, making him look nowhere near young, suddenly aging by decades.
For Di Nantian, who highly valued his appearance, this was the greatest provocation.
Di Nantian was enraged!
After all, he wasn’t a regular heavenly power; Di Nantian charged out of the poisonous gas zone and crazily pursued Ye Qiu.
Moreover, his attacks were extremely frenzied this time.
Even though Ye Qiu was avoiding rapidly, he couldn’t escape being affected.
The intensity of Di Nantian’s frenzy was beyond Ye Qiu’s expectations; he anticipated Di Nantian would be angry, but he didn’t think he would be this furious.
Ye Qiu was in no position to duel with such a madman; the opponent now loathed him and would stop at nothing to kill him.
Ye Qiu could only continue fleeing.
And each time he would change direction, causing Di Nantian’s attacks to miss.
One hundred thousand miles, two hundred thousand miles, three hundred thousand miles...
Ye Qiu himself didn’t know how long he had been running; he only felt the front darkening more and more, lacking light, as if he was swiftly nearing the cosmic boundary.
Was it almost a place with nowhere to flee?
Ye Qiu glanced at Di Nantian, who was still relentlessly pursuing from behind, feeling very frustrated.
He couldn’t fight, but he couldn’t escape either.
Ye Qiu was extremely annoyed, yet helpless. As he fled here and there, not long after, Ye Qiu discovered a region filled with the breath of death ahead.
This region was infused with death, like a graveyard of the universe.
Sneaking a glance at Di Nantian, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, deciding not to avoid it, but headed right in.
As Ye Qiu entered it, Di Nantian also stepped into this star-field of deathly air.
This place looked like a lost cosmos.
No sign of life, stepping inside, one could feel the breath of death, decay, and decrepitude.
As if here, there had never been life; it’s the burial ground of the universe.
Ye Qiu felt chills all over, even with his Supreme Saint body, couldn’t avoid this feeling, but he didn’t have time to think much, as Di Nantian had already pursued and the atmosphere was rapidly closing in.
Whoosh.
As he continued deeper into this place, the cold feeling intensified.
Ye Qiu’s teeth were chattering with cold.
And he was a Supreme Saint, very close to heavenly level, yet he felt cold, showing how eerie this place was.
Ye Qiu landed on a planet, his feet touching it without leaving footprints because the soil beneath had frozen hard as iron.
Di Nantian’s figure enlarged, just a hundred meters away, he struck towards Ye Qiu’s direction from afar.
Boom!
Ye Qiu jumped up suddenly and swiftly moved away.
At the same time, Ye Qiu glanced back at the spot where Di Nantian’s attack had landed, there wasn’t a deep pit, not even the soil moved.
Ye Qiu gasped; what was this place?
Under normal circumstances, Di Nantian’s attack could have destroyed a planet, right?
But here, it couldn’t even disturb a layer of soil.
While escaping, Ye Qiu also watched his surroundings warily; this place was too unusual, unusually sinister.
Feeling as though he had arrived in the netherworld.
While thinking if he had reached the netherworld, Ye Qiu glanced ahead and suddenly saw a massive planet.
As Ye Qiu approached, he discovered there were many humanoid creatures on this planet, moving around.
The planet had houses, markets, and people shopping, but these people weren’t alive, instead filled with death aura, dried corpses. More accurately, corpses that had been dead for an indeterminate amount of time.
And as Ye Qiu approached, all these dense corpses lifted their heads looking at him, those hollow eye sockets long devoid of eyeballs, the eyeballs that remained popped out, drooping, looking extremely horrifying.
With so many corpses staring coldly at him, Ye Qiu dared not approach, already knowing the nature of these things was far from amiable.
But as he turned direction, all these dried corpses jumped up, launching off the planet beneath them, rushing towards Ye Qiu.
What the heck!
Seeing this, Ye Qiu was upset almost to the point of vomiting blood; just for glancing at you, was there a need to treat him like this?
All chasing me—what’s the meaning of this?
Ye Qiu felt like crying without tears; just Di Nantian alone was enough to give him a headache, and now this overwhelming wave of dried corpses chasing him, how can one live?
As Ye Qiu exerted all his strength to continue fleeing, he noticed some of those corpses went to attack Di Nantian.
Di Nantian was already furious; seeing so many corpses, he couldn’t be polite, immediately raising his hand for an onslaught.
And as Di Nantian struck, killing a large number of corpses, the result was even more corpses swarmed at him, even those originally pursuing Ye Qiu stopped and went to attack Di Nantian.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu almost clapped with joy; unexpectedly, Di Nantian became the target of all the corpses.
With the corpses entangling Di Nantian, Ye Qiu felt much more at ease, without having to face the threat of Di Nantian.
However, Ye Qiu was in no hurry to leave, because he wanted to see if these corpses could kill Di Nantian.
Di Nantian unleashed wildly, countless corpses turning to ash, yet here the corpses seemed endless, continually emerging, making Ye Qiu’s scalp tingle.
However, at this moment, he was chanting in his heart, let the corpses come more fiercely.
He hoped for nothing more than the corpses could bury Di Nantian here.
