Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
As the humanoid phantoms moved in a single group towards the colossal construct, Xuan Hao saw his opportunity to escape from the ancient battleground. Not wasting a single second before charging towards the spatial corridor.
Swish-!
However, before he could reach the spatial corridor, a powerful hamr made out of qi appeared a few ters above him-
BANG-!
Crack!
Before directly smashing into his body into the ground. Not giving him any chance to defend himself with anything more than a simple barrier ford by his dao domain that had been set up at the last mont before the hamr hit him.
"This- Who attacked !?"
Feeling like his entire body was about to crack apart due to the hamr that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere before smashing him into the ground, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a combination of both fear and confusion. If not for the fact that he broke through to the Interdiate Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, he might have ended up dead from the attack just now!
Whoosh~!
Knowing his current precarious situation, Xuan Hao used his divine sense and dao domain to search for the person that had managed to sneak attack him-
One of the phantoms!? Didn't all of them leave to attack the construct? To think one of them actually remained hidden around the spatial corridor!
Not taking long before spotting a nearly invisible humanoid phantom floating in the air not too far away from the spatial corridor. Given the large hamr made of spiritual qi floating beside the humanoid phantom, it was not hard to figure out who had attacked him just now.
"It's just one phantom… If I use all my strength, I should be able to bypass it without getting too heavily injured in the process. Not to ntion, from the strength of the attack just now, it should be one of the weaker phantoms. Even with my current strength, I should still be able to take two or three more hits from it without dying…"
Narrowing both his eyes as he muttered this to himself while looking towards the phantom and the hamr floating beside the spatial corridor, Xuan hao understood that although it would be harder to escape, it was still not impossible. Especially when considering that the phantom was weaker than normal, while at the sa ti also being exhausted from the chaotic fighting earlier.
Boom-boom-boom!
As he was trying to figure out the best way to approach the situation and make it past the phantom guarding the spatial corridor, the loud sounds of the fight between the rest of the humanoid phantoms and the colossal construct suddenly echoed out across the ancient battleground. Signaling the official start of their battle, while at the sa ti signaling the fact that he didn't have much ti left to leave the ancient battleground.
After all, just looking once towards the place where the humanoid phantoms and the construct were fighting, it beca obvious that the phantoms stood no chance against the construct.
Even if they had co up with so sort of ancient battle formation to fight sowhat equally against the construct, it would only be a matter of ti before their energy ran out… And at that point in ti, they would all be caught by the tentacle-like plants growing all over the constructs body.
Before all of this happened, he had to make good use of his ti and find a way to bypass the phantom blocking his path, pass through the spatial corridor and of course, close the spatial corridor after reaching the other side.
He might not believe sothing the size of the construct would be able to pass through a spatial corridor only a little bigger than its hand, but one could never be too certain.
Swish-!
Knowing that his ti was running out, Xuan Hao ended up deciding on the simplest tactic to make it through the phantom blocking his path. Forcing his way past it and trying to avoid any form of confrontation that might end up losing him precious ti.
As a result of this, Xuan Hao was once again attacked by the hamr of the phantom-
BANG!
However, this ti around, he did not end up getting smashed into the ground, forming another crater. Instead, he made use of his recently strengthened physical body and dao domain to forcibly resist the first hamr attack of the phantom and continue moving towards the spatial corridor.
Whoosh-!
Seeing this, the phantom emotionlessly waved its hand as a new hamr made of spiritual qi appeared above him while the one behind him turned into mist that quickly dispersed into the air.
Hm!? Isn't this hamr stronger than before?
Instantly noticing sothing different about the new hamr that had ford above his head, Xuan Hao felt a shiver run down his spine as he watched it rapidly descending down towards him. Even if he had felt that he should be able to handle one or two more attacks from the phantom. For so reason, he had a feeling that if he allowed the new hamr to hit him, he would not be able to make it out of the ancient battleground…
No! I can't allow it to hit!
Feeling increasingly desperate as he watched the hamr getting closer and closer, Xuan Hao tried to forcibly increase the speed of his movent technique to no avail. The space of the ancient battleground being far too stable for him to fully use his movent technique to teleport a short distance forward and avoid the attack.
Hm? The dao of space here is far more stable… Does this not an that the dao of space in this place is far more perfected than the dao of space outside the ancient battleground!?
Looking around at the spatial plane that could be seen all around him, covering everything and anything on the ancient battleground, Xuan Hao suddenly saw the small spatial nodes located everywhere around him. From reading the Drifting Cloud Steps, he understood that these spatial nodes were what he would use when teleporting forward thousands of ters with a single step.
Although he could feel these spatial nodes to so degree, he had never been able to fully see them. At least… Not before now!
Rumble~
Feeling his understanding of the Dao of Space suddenly take a massive leap forward, Xuan Hao ignored the hamr above. Instead focusing all of his attention on a spatial node located just beside the spatial corridor before taking a step forward in accordance with the Drifting Cloud Steps-
Swish!
BAAAANG!
Instantly teleporting just beside the spatial corridor, while at the sa ti avoiding the terrifying hamr of the phantom just in ti.
"Haha! To think my Drifting Cloud Steps actually managed to break through! Not only that, but I also feel that my comprehension over the Dao of Space has taken a significant step forward after this!"
Not able to stop himself from laughing happily as he felt all sorts of new profound ways to use the Dao of Space appearing in his head, Xuan Hao took a step forward into the spatial corridor. Not turning to look back towards the phantom that was looking towards him with a hint of confusion present in its eyes.
ROOOOAR-!
However, just as he took this step forward and felt himself getting drawn into the spatial corridor, an earth-shattering roar echoed out across the ancient battleground.
Whoosh-!
Bringing with it, the all too familiar feeling of suppression that he felt even before going through the spatial corridor.
The black heart!
Instantly realizing that the black heart had grown even stronger, Xuan Hao forcibly used his strength to break free from the suppression of the black heart and fully enter the spatial corridor, but… This was not the end!
Rumble-!
The construct completely ignored the humanoid phantoms attacking it. Charging towards the spatial corridor that had already started closing after Xuan Hao had entered it and undid the things, he had done to prevent it from closing earlier.
Even if Xuan Hao wanted to close it faster and prevent the construct from following him, there was nothing he could do about the speed at which the spatial corridor was closing. Going out of the spatial corridor and closing it manually was not really an option.
I have to close the spatial corridor the mont I reach the other side!
With this in mind, Xuan Hao left the ancient battleground under the power of the spatial corridor. Soon only able to see the entrance of the spatial corridor that connected to the ancient battleground shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye-
Rumble-!
Just at this mont, as the entrance was about to fully close to the ancient battleground, a part of the constructs arm forcibly entered the spatial corridor before reaching towards him-
Riiiip~!
However, the spatial corridor soon closed, severing the part of the arm that was already inside the spatial corridor in the process. Unfortunately for Xuan Hao, he soon discovered that the severed arm of the construct was not dead and was still chasing after him!
