438: Don't force me to use my special moves
“Go,” this was Azeia’s answer.
Having been driven out of the black market by Terende and burdened with massive debt, he was truly at his wit’s end.
He was only slightly better off than the frantically fleeing Tore.
So, as long as there was no danger to his life, he was willing to give it a try; at worst, he would consider it an escape.
Clearly, not all Cosmic Beasts shared this resolve.
Thus, very few Cosmic Beasts followed Azeia, and only one had reached Cosmic Level Nine.
Cosmic Beasts who were not at their wit’s end would simply not choose to enter a spatial vortex of unknown peril like Azeia.
After traversing the chaotic spatial currents, Azeia found himself in another universe.
At the very least, the communication terminal he held, which could be used throughout the Extremely Cold Universe, had lost its effectiveness.
This was also why the two Slaves had previously lost contact.
At this moment, these two Slaves were diligently exploring their surroundings.
From the information they relayed, it seemed there was no danger nearby.
Seeing this, Azeia breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He had feared that the two Slaves might actually be dead, but due to the great distance, they were beyond the sensing range of the life flame, creating the illusion that they were still alive.
Since there was no danger nearby, the immediate priority was to find Tore, to find this super fat sheep.
Even though they had left the Extremely Cold Universe, yuan crystal remained hard currency due to its unique effect of assisting cultivation.
Not only that, but having changed universes, Azeia had completely shaken off his foreign debts; for him, this was truly a double blessing.
Although Tore was the first Cosmic Beast to enter the spatial vortex, he was the weakest, and his tracks were quickly discovered by one of the Slaves.
At this moment, he was tracking Tore’s location and continuously relaying Tore’s whereabouts to Azeia.
With a clear direction, Azeia immediately stopped lingering and flew off in pursuit of Tore’s escape route.
Latin followed closely behind.
He had risked entering the spatial vortex precisely for the yuan crystal on Tore, so he naturally wasn’t willing to fall behind and followed immediately.
Tore probably never imagined that even after fleeing into the spatial vortex, his enemies would still relentlessly pursue him.
In just three days, they had overtaken him and entered Tore’s detection range.
Feeling dozens of Cosmic Beasts relentlessly pursuing him, Tore felt his beastly senses go numb.
He wasn’t a great beauty, so what kind of hatred or enmity was this, that so many Cosmic Beasts would pursue him so relentlessly?
Tore wasn't conceited; he naturally knew that the other party was eyeing the large amount of yuan crystal he possessed.
It was just that he was very foolish; very few Cosmic Beasts should have known that he possessed a lot of yuan crystal, so why was he ambushed and besieged by Azeia immediately?
Someone leaked the secret; this black market was utterly unreliable.
Tore wasn’t an idiot; he quickly figured out the cause of the problem.
However, knowing was one thing; he was helpless against the Cosmic Beasts relentlessly pursuing him.
Could it be that if he turned back now and told them he was willing to hand over all his yuan crystals, they would let him go?
He knew this was impossible just by thinking about it.
They would only greedily demand more from him, and even his kinsmen, whom he had painstakingly rescued, would once again fall into slavery.
Thinking this, Tore became even more convinced that he absolutely could not be caught.
Otherwise, not only he but also the One-Eyed Spider People behind him would face an extremely tragic end.
Gritting his teeth, Tore pulled out a secret treasure he had purchased at great expense, a secret treasure that could instantly accelerate him.
Tore wasn't a fool; after acquiring a large amount of yuan crystal, his first thought was naturally to increase his life-saving abilities.
For him, whose life level was not high, improving his strength was a very difficult task.
Unless he encountered a super Chance like Lord Lin Tianwei, his strength would be very difficult to improve in a short period.
Therefore, purchasing some treasures that could enhance his life-saving abilities was the best choice.
Not only that, but after his speed surged, Tore casually threw a Sky-Shattering Thunder behind him.
As a one-time consumable item, the Sky-Shattering Thunder could instantly unleash energy equivalent to a single blow from a Cosmic Beast at Cosmic Level Nine.
It would be even better if it could blast to death the Cosmic Beasts relentlessly pursuing him; even if it couldn't kill them, it could slightly delay their pursuit.
This was definitely a sure-win situation for Tore.
As for why he hadn't used it before, it was, of course, because Tore hadn't yet reached a desperate situation.
Ten million yuan crystal per piece—this was the price of the Sky-Shattering Thunder.
Such an outrageous price, even the newly rich upstart Tore was reluctant to use.
It was just a pity that the time had come when he had no choice but to use it.
yuan crystal, this kind of thing, truly belonged to him only when he was alive.
If he was going to die, what was the point of saving yuan crystal?
Thinking this, Tore no longer cared about saving money and threw three more Sky-Shattering Thunders behind him.
“Sky-Shattering Thunder! Everyone scatter quickly!”
Azeia truly deserved to be a Cosmic Beast who grew up in the black market; his knowledge was stronger than that of ordinary Cosmic Beasts, and he recognized the Sky-Shattering Thunder at a glance, immediately warning everyone to evade.
Aside from a very few unlucky Cosmic Beasts who were blasted to death by the Sky-Shattering Thunder, Tore’s four Sky-Shattering Thunders returned without success.
No, it couldn’t be considered entirely without success.
At the very least, the distance between him and Azeia and the other Cosmic Beasts had widened a little, giving him a few more glimmers of hope for escape.
However, the disparity in strength was like an insurmountable chasm, lying across Tore and Azeia and the other Cosmic Beasts.
In just three short hours, they had caught up again, reappearing within Tore’s line of sight.
Gritting his teeth, Tore threw out several more Sky-Shattering Thunders.
This time, he learned from his previous failure and threw them from several extremely tricky angles.
However, this was merely futile.
Aside from being able to blast a few more ordinary Cosmic Beasts to death, it had no effect whatsoever.
Soon, the Cosmic Beasts led by Azeia caught up again… You flee, I chase, you cannot escape even with wings.
Half a month later, this chase seemed to be reaching its end.
Tore, who had been in a state of high-intensity flight, finally had his internal energy drained, and his speed became slower and slower.
Not only that, but his stock of life-saving equipment was almost completely depleted, with less than one-tenth remaining.
In fact, if Tore hadn't purchased a large amount of energy-replenishing recovery fluid, he would have collapsed long ago.
Looking at Tore, who was within reach, Azeia's eyes were filled with joy, and he roared:
“Tore, stop quickly.”
“Surrender obediently, and I can leave you a complete corpse.”
Foolish Tore, daring to resist stubbornly, making himself so disheveled, and consuming a large amount of spoils of war that should have belonged to him.
Leaving him a complete corpse was already Azeia’s last act of mercy.
However, upon hearing Azeia’s words, Tore not only didn’t stop but instead unleashed all his potential, running even faster.
Are you kidding? Who cares about your complete corpse?
Live, I, Tore, must live.
However, things would not change according to Tore’s will; even if he wanted to live, he had already reached a dead end.
The Cosmic Beasts led by Azeia even circled around, precisely to completely surround Tore, leaving him nowhere to escape.
Facing such a desperate situation, the flame of hope in Tore’s eyes did not extinguish; gritting his teeth, he pulled out another piece of equipment and shouted:
“Don’t force me, if you force me again, I’m going to use my ultimate move.”
Looking at the unremarkable black brick in Tore’s hand, Azeia swept away the gloom in his heart and laughed loudly:
“If you brought out some powerful weapon and said you wanted to die together, I might reluctantly be a little wary.”
“But what are you doing with a super communication terminal? Could it be that you still have someone to call for help?”
“If you really knew some big shot, how could you only call for help at this time? If you’re trying to scare a beast, you’re truly a bit too foolish.”
“Don’t be silly, even if you really know some big shot, distant water can’t quench a nearby thirst; he won’t be able to rush over to save you.”
“Shout quickly, you can shout until your throat breaks, but no Cosmic Beast will come to save you.”
“Numbers 5656 and 5657, go capture Tore.”
Numbers 5656 and 5657 were precisely the main characters of Tore’s trade this time, two powerful One-Eyed Spider People.
Azeia ordering them to capture Tore was truly a killing blow to his spirit.
Even if Tore had a myriad of tricks, he would have to consider whether they would harm his kinsmen before using them.
Super communication terminal?
As the name suggests, it naturally possesses a terminal with extremely strong communication capabilities.
Even if both parties are not in the same universe, or even cross several star realms, they can still communicate through the super communication terminal.
A terminal with such powerful communication capabilities, if it’s not widespread, there’s only one possibility: it’s very expensive.
And indeed, that was the case.
This unassuming black brick in front of him actually cost a full one hundred million yuan crystal.
Not only that, but as the communication duration increased, the super communication terminal also charged an additional fee.
It was just like making a long-distance call; not only did you need to pay for the phone, but you also had to pay for the call, and international calls even had international fees.
The super communication terminal was very useful, yet not very useful.
However, this seemingly useful, but actually probably useless, super communication terminal was precisely Tore’s last trump card.
Because it could allow Tore to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to activate his strongest Talent, which was summoning beasts.
Facing Azeia’s mockery, Tore was completely unfazed, saying very seriously: “How do you know I don’t know any big shots?”
“Do you really think that a nobody like me, who knows nothing, could continuously win in betting?”
“Don’t be silly; if I hadn’t known in advance that Lord Lin would definitely win, how could I have bet like that?”
“Azeia, I’ll give you one last Chance; retreat quickly, and you still have a glimmer of hope.”
“Otherwise, once I send out this communication, you will be utterly annihilated without a burial place.”
This was simply defying heaven, utterly defying heaven!
Tore’s words almost made Azeia laugh out of anger.
He was clearly the one leading many Cosmic Beasts to surround Tore, so how dared he threaten him?
Even if he really knew some big shot, calling for help from the big shot only now was the most foolish decision Tore had ever made.
Under absolute power suppression, Tore wouldn't even have time to call for help from the so-called Lord Lin.
Thinking this, Azeia bothered no longer with Tore’s desperate resistance and directly ordered his subordinates to quickly narrow the encirclement, attempting to catch Tore like a turtle in a jar.
However, the super communication terminal in Tore’s hand did, after all, affect Azeia for a moment, causing him a slight dazed (moment of stunned distraction).
Seizing Azeia’s moment of stunned distraction, Tore once again activated a spatial teleportation device, teleporting himself to a very distant place.
It was precisely because of this teleportation that Tore found himself in a very strange place, actually crashing into a special force field that resembled a protective shield.
Looking at the hazy space protected by the shield, the faintly visible magnificent architecture struck fear into Tore’s heart.
This area in front of him clearly wasn’t simple, and it might even hide a great secret.
He might have inadvertently discovered some incredible secret.
However, Tore had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment; gritting his teeth, he pulled out a special item from his storage space, specifically designed to break through barriers.
Perhaps the barrier was dilapidated from age, as Tore effortlessly broke through it and directly passed through.
Ignoring everything else, Tore immediately intended to plunge headfirst, rushing towards the depths of the secret realm.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the terrifying nature of this secret realm too much.
After only advancing a tiny distance, Tore felt immense pressure.
That terrifying pressure even made Tore feel suffocated, unable to move at all.
He was trapped here, and despair filled Tore’s heart.
At this moment, he was like meat on a chopping board, with no Chance of resistance whatsoever.
Not to mention the pursuers behind him, the secret realm in front of him alone was enough to completely trap him to death.
It’s over!
Just as Tore was thinking this, he noticed ripples around the secret realm, and several familiar figures also entered the secret realm.
Latin even shouted excitedly: “A secret realm! It’s actually a secret realm! We’ve actually discovered a secret realm! This is wealth that cannot be exchanged for any amount of yuan crystal!”
“Secret treasures, yuan crystal, secret techniques… everything is possible in a secret realm.”
“My Chance to soar to the heavens has arrived!”
Without even considering why Tore was floating there motionless, Latin was already overwhelmed by the excitement of discovering the secret realm and immediately rushed forward enthusiastically.
Unfortunately, his fate was only slightly better than Tore’s.
His strength, which was barely a few levels higher, only allowed Latin to gain a few more body lengths than Tore. (End of chapter)
