Nubis laughed aloud as he stared at the old man in ridicule, "Old man, who said that I, the great Nubis, was going to run? You should be the one running." With that, a presence that caused the surroundings to tremble radiated from Nubis. The presence was far, far more powerful than the golden-robed old man's. When the presence permeated the surroundings, the ground seemed to sink from the pressure. The trees and various plants that filled the area all shattered, directly crushed to pieces by the presence.
The expressions of the eight Class 8 powerhouses changed drastically at that moment. Their eyes were filled with shock, and their faces paled. They all stared at Nubis, trembling in fear.
"Class 9. He's actually Class 9. We're actually pursuing an expert who's reached Class 9." The eight Class 8 powerhouses howled inside. At that moment, their hearts were trembling, and their blood was flowing in reverse. They even wanted to die.
The old man lost his composure from before as well. He stared at Nubis in disbelief and cried out, "You're actually Class 9!"
The old man was completely pale. Nubis's presence had already frightened him out of his wits. He was also a Golden-Striped Silver Snake of antiquity. He knew all too well what would happen if a Golden-Striped Silver Snake of antiquity encountered a Golden-Striped Silver Snake of the same race.
Without any hesitation, the old man immediately turned around and fled as quickly as he could. At the same time, he used a secret technique. He vomited a mouthful of blood and immediately became much more haggard. He had paid a heavy price to flee with incomparable speed. He wanted to disappear before Nubis could react.
He did not use a Space Gate because constructing a Space Gate required some time. If he tried to escape by constructing a Space Gate in front of a Class 9 Magical Beast, he would definitely die.
It would be suicide without a doubt.
Nubis sneered, "I, the great Nubis, endured the humiliation and paid the heavy price of being chased across half the Beast God Continent by a few Class 8 Magical Beasts in order to lure you out after so much difficulty. If I let you escape just like that, wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?"
Nubis did not pursue the golden-robed old man. He sneered and extended a finger. Immediately, a golden streak of light shot out from his finger, chasing after the golden-robed old man who was about to vanish into the horizon with unbelievable speed.
This golden light was only the size of a finger. If one looked carefully, through the hazy golden light, one could vaguely see that there was a golden thread hidden inside. It was only as thick as a chopstick, but it hid an astonishingly terrifying energy.
The golden threads pierced through space and disappeared into it. They seemed to be able to traverse space, ignoring the distance between them. In an instant, they caught up to the golden-robed old man who had already used a secret technique to flee far away. Then, they formed a huge net and enveloped the golden-robed old man.
The old man's face changed and he bellowed out at the sky.
His body suddenly emitted an endless amount of golden light, and within this golden light,
Within the golden light was a layer of blood-red light. Terrifying pulses of energy shook the surroundings, causing the space there to tremble violently. It seemed like it was about to shatter. He punched the sky, shattering the void. A terrifying energy transformed into a huge fist and punched towards the golden net that was descending from the sky. He wanted to shatter the net.
After throwing out that punch, the old man's face became even paler. He knew exactly what would happen if he was caught by Nubis. As a result, not only did he erupt with the full power of the Holy Emperor at Absolute Perfection in order to escape, but he also used a secret technique to burn his essence blood to escape. The punch he threw out was also a shocking attack that he had used to burn his essence blood.
The old man did not care about the outcome of the punch. He continued to burn his essence blood, bearing the consequences of damaging his vitality as he fled like crazy. He knew that with his power as a Holy Emperor at Absolute Perfection, he would not be able to outrun the Holy Emperor. Only by burning his essence blood would he be able to escape with his life.
The golden fist shattered the void, and wherever it passed, the space would crack. It carried with it a terrifying might that seemed capable of destroying the world as it collided with the golden fist that was descending from the sky.
There was no great boom when the two collided. However, the golden net protruded from the golden fist. The old man's attack that he had used to burn his essence blood failed to shatter the golden net.
"You're only at Class 8, yet you dare to stand up to me, the great Nubis?" Nubis sneered in the distance. A golden thread connected his finger to the golden net. With a thought, the golden net immediately began to shrink, wrapping around the golden fist and rapidly whittling away at its energy.
At the same time, another strand of golden thread split off from the golden net. With the golden net as its root, it pierced through space and vanished. It traversed space and space, completely ignoring the restriction of distance between them. In an instant, it caught up to the golden-robed old man who was fleeing ahead.
The golden-robed old man clearly sensed the golden thread chasing after him. His expression immediately changed. However, this time, the golden thread was like an arrow released from a bow. It did not give the golden-robed old man any time to react. It turned into a faint golden light and pierced into the golden-robed old man's back. It pierced through his body and came out from his chest. Then, the golden thread immediately wrapped around the golden-robed old man, binding him like a dumpling.
Looking at it now, this thin golden thread had already extended for dozens of miles, crossing the entire sky, stretching from the eastern horizon to the western horizon. If one were to stand in the middle, they would not be able to see where the two ends of the golden thread were connected.
In just a single breath of time, the golden-robed old man had already fled dozens of miles away. The golden thread was not actually able to travel through space. It was just too fast.
Nubis pulled with his finger and the old man immediately appeared before him. Looking at the pale-faced old man, Nubis could not help but laugh aloud, "Old man, you can't be arrogant anymore, can you? You even tried to devour my essence to reach Class 9."
"You … Aren't you a Silver Striped Golden Snake that has just entered the ninth level? Even if this old man is no match for a powerhouse that has just entered the ninth level, I would not be completely helpless. At the very least, I would be able to resist a few moves. Could it be that you have already entered the ninth level for many years? That's impossible. Old Man has never heard of a fourth Class 9 expert other than the three from the Beast God Continent, "the old man said with a trembling voice.
