Inside the universe, the tunnel disappeared. Ling Xian and Elder Wu fell down. Both of them were covered in wounds and blood.
Elder Wu, in particular, was in pieces and on the verge of disintegrating.
At this critical moment, Ling Xian placed the low quality Dan into Elder Wu's mouth and used his Qi to stabilize Elder Wu's collapsing body.
After 10 seconds, the backlash inside Elder Wu's body was reduced by 30 percent. Though he was still heavily injured, his soul was not destroyed.
"Phew, luckily I made it in time …" Ling Xian exhaled deeply and calmed down.
As long as Elder Wu was alive, there was hope.
"He really got rid of 30 percent of the curse …" Elder Wu was in a daze. His face was full of disbelief.
The reason why he didn't want to use the Stone of Time until the last moment was because he understood how terrifying the backlash was. Even if he escaped the elder in black, he would still die from the backlash.
Yet Ling Xian merely used one Dan, and it was a low quality one at that, to get rid of 30 percent of the backlash. This naturally shocked him.
"If I wasn't confident, why would I take the risk?"
Ling Xian faintly grinned. The Dan of Purifying World could even get rid of the backlash from the Stone of Time and Space, so the backlash from the Stone of Time and Space was nothing to worry about. Even an inferior and incomplete Dan of Purifying World could get rid of some of the backlash.
"That was far too dangerous. I almost disintegrated." Elder Wu's heart was still pounding.
"The process was truly frightening. However, the result was good. Plus, we are out of danger now."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Reality proved that he could brew the Dan of Purified World before Elder Wu died.
In other words, Elder Wu wouldn't die from the backlash and could continue to use the Stone of Time.
From a certain angle, they were out of danger.
"You are underestimating him. He will descend soon." Elder Wu bitterly smiled. He still didn't have much hope.
"Before he arrives, you will be able to build the tunnel. Before you die, I will be able to brew the Dan of Purified World."
"Then how can he kill us?"
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Trust me, he is no longer a threat."
Hearing this, Elder Wu pondered for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up.
After 30 percent of the backlash was reduced, he could build another tunnel. When the backlash inside his body reaches 100 percent, he would be able to get rid of even more of it.
This meant that he would never die, and it also meant that the black-clothed old man would always be one step behind him.
"Hahaha, good, I'll construct the Spacial Channel." Elder Wu laughed loudly, and the Time Stone started to flow with the two colours of gold and silver before it condensed into a Spacial Channel.
At the same time, Ling Xian began to brew.
Several dozen breaths later, the black-robed old man descended. This time, he had learned his lesson.
The moment he walked out of the void, he used a secret technique to seal off this place.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Ling Xian and Elder Wu had already entered the Space Tunnel. Even a Supreme wouldn't be able to destroy it.
"Haha, I can imagine his furious expression." Elder Wu laughed heartily.
"I can imagine that as well." Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. He formed one technique after another to speed up the formation of the Dan of Purified.
This time, his speed was much faster. Before he even walked out of the Space Tunnel, the Dan of Purified had already been brewed.
More importantly, the quality of the Dan had increased by 10 percent.
"Consume it. I will continue brewing." Ling Xian softly chuckled. He was racing against time and was giving it his all.
"Haha, alright." Elder Wu laughed brightly. After drinking the Dan of Purified, the backlash was reduced by 40 percent.
This boosted his confidence. He felt like the road before him was no longer grey, but full of light.
Therefore, he borrowed the power of the Stone of Time and built a tunnel that was as stable as a rock.
One has to admit that the Stone of Time was a heavenly object. Without it, the heavily injured Elder Wu would not have been able to build a Spacial Channel, let alone remain unmoving like a mountain.
After that, in the cold and desolate universe, a unique chase took place.
Every time the black-robed old man was confident that he could kill Ling Xian and Elder Wu, the result was that he was hit hard.
No matter how hard he tried, he was too late. He could only watch as Ling Xian and Elder Wu left.
This infuriated the black-robed elder and confused him.
He knew that activating the Stone of Time would result in backlash. With Elder Wu's heavily injured state, he could only activate it twice.
But since the beginning, Elder Wu has activated it eight times. This was a shocking number. Even a Supreme-Being cannot achieve this.
"I do not believe he can continue to use it!" The black-robed elder continued to chase.
The result was no different than before.
He could only watch. It was as if Elder Wu was a tireless steel man with no limits!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The black-robed elder's anger reached its peak. Refusing to believe this, he continued to chase.
What he got in return was one attack after another.
In the end, he was about to puke blood from anger and was about to lose all hope.
However, just as he was about to give up, he realized in shock that Ling Xian and Elder Wu did not leave.
This made the black-robed elder ecstatic and he almost cried tears of joy.
What could he do? The feeling of being so close to capturing Ling Xian and Elder Wu was far too unbearable.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he wanted to die!
Therefore, after realizing that Ling Xian and Elder Wu did not disappear, the black-robed elder felt like a pie fell from the sky. He also felt like he was in a dream.
"Not used to it?"
Looking at the ecstatic and somewhat nervous elder, Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He knew that this person was used to not seeing him.
Elder Wu smiled as well. It was relaxed and playful.
"Why aren't you running anymore? You can't activate the Stone of Time anymore, right? "
After confirming that this wasn't an illusion, the black-robed elder laughed. His nervousness disappeared and was replaced with sarcasm.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh. The reason why he didn't leave was because there was no need to. It wasn't because Elder Wu had reached his limit.
With the Dan of Purification, he could activate the Stone of Time 10 more times.
"Keep smiling. After I break all your bones, let's see if you can still smile!" The black-robed elder squinted his eyes.
"Of course I can. Because you don't have the ability to break all my bones." Ling Xian's smile did not diminish.
"Haha, laughable."
"Even though your foundation is not weak, you are merely a cultivator of the eighth level. I can kill you with one finger."
The black-robed elder laughed out loud and didn't even try to hide his sarcasm.
"You can, but your opponent is not me."
Ling Xian was at ease. It was as if the elder in black wasn't a cultivator of the ninth level, but a young meditational cultivator.
"If you think he can stop me, then you are too stupid."
The black-robed elder snickered, "Right now, he can't even defend against one attack from me."
"Didn't you want to know why I stopped running?"
"Let me tell you now. It's not because Elder Wu has reached his limit. It's because there's no need to run anymore."
Ling Xian smiled. He pointed at the moon and said something that froze the elder's smile.
"You must know the location of the School of Chaos."
