The Class 8 Firefinch pursued Nubis. Both of them used Spatial Force, so they moved extremely quickly. The two of them turned into faint blurs as they flickered through the air. In the blink of an eye, they had vanished into the horizon.
Although Class 8 Firefinches were equivalent to Saint Kings on the Tian Yuan Continent and possessed decent comprehension of the mysteries of the world, they were incomparable to peak Class 7 Magical Beasts both in terms of their control over Space Force and the energy within them. However, it was extremely difficult for him to chase down the Golden-striped Silver Snake that was only at the peak of Class 7 in his eyes.
Although the Golden-striped Silver Snake was not as fast as him in terms of speed, the Golden-striped Silver Snake would shine with a golden light whenever he approached it. Its speed would explode in an unbelievable manner, pulling far away from him in the blink of an eye. The Class 8 Firefinch was unable to catch up no matter what he did.
During this time, he had frozen the space around the Golden-striped Silver Snake several times in an attempt to trap it. However, to his surprise, the Golden-striped Silver Snake was like a slippery loach. Even the frozen space was unable to trap it. It twisted its body left and right, easily breaking free from the frozen space before continuing to flee without slowing down at all.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of using a Space Gate, but it was only suitable for traveling. It wasn't suitable for pursuing a target because when the other party sensed the ripples of the Space Gate, they could change directions in advance and flee in another direction. By the time he stepped out of the Space Gate, the other party might have already disappeared from his sight. As a result, the Space Gate's usefulness in pursuing a target was negligible.
When Nubis shone with golden light again, his speed suddenly skyrocketed, pulling away from the Class 8 Firefinch in a single instance. The Class 8 Firefinch was finally angered. His face became extremely sunken. Even with his strength as a Class 8 Firefinch, it was still so difficult for him to chase down a peak Class 7 Magical Beast. He felt humiliated, as if his dignity as a Class 8 Firefinch had been severely challenged.
"Hmph, you really are a beast of antiquity after all. Your secret technique for escaping is indeed very powerful, where even I can't catch you in a short amount of time. However, using a secret technique like that must consume a lot of energy. You won't be able to keep it up for long. I'd like to see just how far you can run," the Class 8 Firefinch gritted his teeth as he cursed inside.
Although Nubis seemed to be fleeing in a sorry state, he was completely unconcerned. He did not take the Class 8 Firefinch seriously at all. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying the scenery along the way.
Although he had suppressed his strength to the peak of Class 7, he was still a Class 9 Magical Beast in his prime. How could a mere Class 8 Magical Beast catch up to him?
An hour later, Nubis passed by a large tribe and came to a halt. He glanced below and his eyes immediately lit up. He spat out a dense cloud of poisonous gas that enveloped the tribe before continuing on his way without looking back.
Behind him, the Class 8 Firefinch whistled over with a tremendous presence. He did not stop at all, directly charging at Nubis.
At the same time, a deafening roar came from the large tribe below. The ground cracked open and a giant bear more than thirty meters long crawled out from the ground. Its fur was snow-white and spotless. It stood there like a small mountain.
The bear stood proudly in Nubis's poisonous gas. Its eyes immediately reddened as it looked at the clansmen that had fallen into the poisonous gas. It roared at the sky and chased after Nubis as a white streak of light. Its body changed as well. In just a few seconds, it went from a white bear over thirty meters long to a burly man over four meters tall. It radiated with a tremendous presence. It was also a Class 8 Magical Beast.
In the blink of an eye, Nubis had already fled for two days. During those two days, the Class 8 Magical Beasts chasing after him had increased from two to five. He had only encountered these five Class 8 Magical Beasts after traversing a small portion of the Beast God Continent. He had offended all of them. However, without any exception, no matter what they did, they were unable to catch up to Nubis who only seemed to be at the peak of Class 7.
Nubis did not fight against the Class 8 Magical Beasts. Instead, he led them around the Beast God Continent. Wherever they went, all the magical beasts would be shaken, causing a great uproar. As a result, the news of five Class 8 Magical Beasts chasing down a single Golden-striped Silver Snake spread rapidly, reaching the entire Beast God Continent very soon.
If Nubis had appeared on the Beast God Continent in his original form, it would have caused a great uproar as well, but it definitely would not have been as great as the news of five Class 8 Magical Beasts chasing down a single Class 7 Magical Beast.
This was because Class 8 Magical Beasts were a golden signboard. They would shine no matter where they went, not to mention that there were five of them chasing down a Class 7 Magical Beast that was far weaker than them.
Let alone now, even in the entire history of the Beast God Continent, something like this had never happened before. It would have been reasonable if several peak Class 7 Magical Beasts were chasing down a single heavily injured Class 8 Magical Beast, but if it was the other way around, it would be far too unbelievable.
Ten million kilometers away from Nubis, a golden-haired old man sat in a dark, damp cave and cultivated in a swamp filled with poisonous gas. The old man wore golden clothes, and even his skin was faintly golden. Although his appearance was nothing special, he gave off a dignified aura. Clearly, he had been in a high position for a very long time.
Suddenly, the old man slowly opened his eyes. He glanced outside deeply, and his gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the rocks. He saw the Beast God Hall in the distance, and a sliver of worry appeared on his face.
"I wonder if the war between the Beast God Continent and the World of Forsaken Saints has ended. What's the situation like? Although I've vaguely sensed the return of quite a few Class 8 Magical Beasts in the past few days, there have been far fewer of them than when they left. "
"Back then, Emperor Peng called for all the Class 8 Magical Beasts in his territory to head to the Tian Yuan Continent and fend off the invasion of the World of Forsaken Saints. They swore to protect our world with their lives, but according to what I know, the World of Forsaken Saints is just too powerful. Even if the four races work together, they might not be able to emerge victorious. Although I'm at the peak of Class 8, I don't have absolute confidence in surviving the battle. As a result, I chose to leave my nest and hide in this remote place, avoiding Emperor Peng's orders. I wonder if Emperor Peng has returned or not. Has he discovered that I'm avoiding the battle?
If he finds out … "The old man thought to himself. He felt very uneasy because Emperor Peng had specifically called him out for the battle against the World of Forsaken Saints. However, he did not participate in the battle because he was worried that he would die.
At this moment, a skinny old man silently appeared outside the old man's cave like a ghost. He bowed and said, "Ancestor, it's rumored that a Golden-Striped Silver Snake of ancient times that has reached the peak of Class 7 has appeared on the Beast God Continent. It's currently being hunted down by five Class 8 experts!"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately flashed with a golden light. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave with an excited expression. His eyes were like a poisonous snake as he stared at the skinny old man and asked urgently, "Is what you said true? A peak Class 7 Silver Striped Golden Snake of ancient times has appeared outside? "
"Ancestor, this is only a rumor. It's not confirmed, but I've already sent people to investigate. I believe we'll receive news very soon," the skinny old man said politely. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. He took out an ancient piece of jade from his Space Ring, and with a flash of light, a message was sent out.
"Ancestor, the people I've sent have already investigated. It's definitely true," the skinny old man immediately replied. There was a sliver of excitement in his voice.
