497: Chapter 497 A Frenzied Escape

Nie Ning didn't even have time to figure out what was going on before the backlash from the formation followed.

Even with Nie Ning's formidable physique, he couldn't withstand the energy backlash; the magic power within his body instantly became chaotic, beginning to destroy his bodily tissues.

Nie Ning couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with bits of internal organs.

The others were no better off; almost everyone was severely injured by the formation's backlash.

Two Tier 5 Transcendent individuals were even unable to control their restless magic power, leading to them exploding to death instantly, blowing away all the nearby Transcendent individuals.

Without the magic power support from the various Transcendent individuals, the Sea-Burning Sun-Eroding formation in the sky began to dissipate.

The change happened so fast that Nie Ning didn't care about the wounds on his body, instead forcing himself to look toward the direction of the Yin-Yang Sect.

The strange star phenomenon above the Yin-Yang Sect suddenly twisted, and meteors actually began smashing toward the members of the Yin-Yang Sect.

"Open the portal and leave!" Suddenly, the voice of Wizard Lapu came from the dark clouds, his tone tinged with a hint of anxiety.

Realizing something was terribly wrong, Nie Ning rushed rapidly toward the direction of the Teleportation Array.

The others weren't fools either; they naturally knew what that voice meant—it was highly likely they had encountered an irresistible, unexpected problem.

Otherwise, with the abilities of an eighth-order wizard, even if he couldn't defeat the eighth-order beings of this world, he wouldn't have said such words so easily.

Nie Ning couldn't care about exposure anymore; he directly activated Super-Limit Fusion mode, turning into a bolt of white lightning as he overtook several sixth-order individuals, heading straight for the already activated portal.

Even Lovsky, who was overtaken, was left dumbfounded.

Seeing this, the others also began to accelerate toward the portal.

It wasn't just the Extreme Phase Demon Palace; the Yin-Yang Sect side was no better off, battered and exhausted by the meteors.

Because the portal was between the two camps, both sides could only move rapidly toward it, but this caused the meteors in the sky to begin concentrating their fire on the portal.

However, the portal was the retreat route for both factions and naturally had the protection of a powerful formation, so it wasn't significantly affected for the time being.

Nie Ning looked at the otherworldly creatures chasing behind him, feeling quite speechless in his heart.

This reversal came too quickly.

Just a moment ago, he was lamenting the fragility of life, and in the blink of an eye, the roles had been reversed.

"What a pity. You won't be so lucky when we come back next time."

Although he didn't know what the situation was now, given the foundation of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, coming back next time would likely mean an army pressing down on the border.

If the Yin-Yang Sect also felt displeased and sent some high-order powerhouses over, it was possible they would fight with real fire and destroy the world.

Anyway, Nie Ning didn't think this world had any ability to resist.

Just as Nie Ning was looking forward to the next entry, countless meteors suddenly smashed toward their direction.

Seeing this, Nie Ning widened his eyes and cursed the Yin-Yang Sect in his heart for being a troublemaker!

They caused this mess themselves and dragged him into it too!

Relying on the Profound Thunder Flash obtained from the Leisi Sacred Beast, Nie Ning turned into lightning, constantly dodging the incoming meteors.

But the speed of the meteors was also extremely fast.

Even though Nie Ning had tried his best to dodge, he was still grazed on the arm by one of the meteors, which directly shattered the crystal formed by the Death-Speech Curse Binding, and his entire arm was smashed into a bloody mess.

The trouble didn't stop there.

Due to the meteors, the group of Transcendent individuals was forced to slow down, and the otherworldly creatures seized this opportunity to catch up.

Many Transcendent individuals were forced to stop and fight the enemy, and even Nie Ning was blocked by two otherworldly creatures with fifth-order energy levels.

However, Nie Ning didn't kill them instantly; instead, he pretended to be losing and blocked them with difficulty, taking the opportunity to flee frantically among the crowd, which also prevented more otherworldly creatures from targeting him.

...

By this time, many people had returned to the vicinity of the portal and began casting various spells to reinforce those who hadn't returned.

For any faction, fleeing was a very shameful act.

So even if these people could escape, they still had to stay and put on a show.

However, their bodies were very honest, staying near the portal, ready to slip away the moment something went wrong.

Meanwhile, Nie Ning, who hadn't escaped, was feeling dizzy and confused.

Because the companions around him were fewer, the people besieging him had actually increased, which made Nie Ning feel very uncomfortable.

Clearly, he could kill these alien races instantly, but he didn't dare to go all out to kill them.

Fortunately, he was already very close to the portal. Nie Ning's expression was gloomy; when he came back, he would let these alien races know why flowers are so red!

The dawn of victory was right in front of him. Nie Ning put the 1000 contribution point longsword back into his storage ring and drew the xueyan bladeless from his waist at lightning speed.

In an instant, a blade aura resembling a spatial rift struck the nearest alien races.

Because Nie Ning had been feigning weakness, the approaching alien races didn't even react before being torn to pieces by the powerful blade aura.

Seeing this, the remaining alien races were, for a moment, afraid to step forward.

Nie Ning curled his lip, raised his right hand, and then made a universal gesture across all worlds—he gave them the middle finger.

"Stop fooling around, look up!"

Just at this moment, Lovsky's urgent voice sounded behind Nie Ning.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning looked up and saw a meteor far larger than the previous ones smashing toward the direction of the portal.

Even without facing this meteor head-on, Nie Ning could feel the scorching heat wave brought by its descent.

"Damn it..."

Nie Ning wanted to rush toward the portal, but the meteor descending at extreme speed made him hesitate.

The Transcendent individuals near the portal, seeing this, surged toward the portal as if they had gone mad.

'Boom!'

The barrier on the portal was shattered in an instant, and the portal itself was annihilated and vanished along with it.

Nie Ning raised a shield to block the subsequent energy impact.

Looking at the rising mushroom cloud, Nie Ning opened his mouth, wanting to complain but not knowing what to say.

After a few moments of recovery, Nie Ning's head was full of question marks.

'Is this even right?'

At this moment, Nie Ning couldn't help but think of that group of demons who were slaughtered in Blood Rainbow City back then.

Although he had long known his own positioning, when he was truly in a desperate situation, this kind of scenario still made Nie Ning's scalp tingle.

Now that the portal had disappeared, he had no ability to open it with his own strength.

In fact, it wasn't just Nie Ning; the remaining people were no better off.

The meteors in the sky were still crashing down, and most people were fleeing in panic under the siege of the alien races and the meteors.

Just at this moment, gibberish sounds rang out behind Nie Ning, and he could also feel a bone-chilling cold coming from behind him.

Nie Ning slowly turned around and forced a hideous smile: "If I said I wasn't with them, would you believe me?"

The response to Nie Ning was a giant axe blade slashing down from above.

Nie Ning held his blade to block, but was still smashed into the ground by the terrifying, immense force.
