Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 272 A Glimmer of Hope

The massive pyramids were spinning in the air, completely lacking the ability to fly on their own.

At that speed of the golden dragon, it could catch up in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yang knew that this guy was also good at soul attacks, so physical defense was useless against him.

"Star Guardian, counterattack with the E3 Laser Cannon!"

"Energy that can form a shield..."

"Counterattack!"

"yes!"

A dazzling white light condensed at the top of the pyramid and suddenly blasted a 200-meter beam of light towards the approaching golden dragon!

The beam of light was extremely fast, and it struck the dragon instantly, causing it to sway slightly.

The beam of light, imbued with destructive power, struck those terrifying golden scales.

Although it generated a huge amount of heat, it was ultimately unable to penetrate it.

It's useless! It didn't break through the defenses at all!

Golden Dragon was slightly surprised. How could the opponent, whose aura was so weak, suddenly unleash an attack at the level of a World Lord?

"Keep attacking! Nine laser cannons, keep firing! Don't stop!"

Thump thump thump!

Every second, a laser cannon shot is fired from the top of the pyramid towards the other side.

Eight seconds passed in an instant, and the pyramid's energy reserves were exhausted, bringing an offensive to an end.

When the golden dragon discovered that Bai Yang could launch such an attack, it did not try to withstand it head-on, but instead used its speed and spatial laws to its advantage.

They dodged left and right in the air, slightly increasing the distance between them.

Bai Yang didn't wait for the spaceship to regain its energy; he jumped out of the spaceship and retrieved it.

He pushed his speed to the limit and charged toward the ground.

When the golden dragon saw him run out, it immediately chased after him happily.

The speed difference between the two was so great that the distance was closed almost instantly.

It looked as if one of its dragon claws was about to grab Bai Yang in its hand.

Bai Yang suddenly shouted, "Light Body!"

He instantly transformed into a ball of light, ignoring the attack in a strange state of luminous form.

Golden Dragon immediately missed.

Then he continued to plunge towards the ground!

The thick, hard soil of Dragon Tower Star did not pose any obstacle to him at all.

His speed of flight in this soil was as if he were in space!

Golden Dragon was taken aback and immediately tried to dig into the soil to continue the chase.

But it's too big!

After digging for just over a hundred meters, I suddenly realized that I had lost the ability to sense the other person's location!

Bai Yang's aura became extremely weak, almost imperceptible.

It was furious. This guy couldn't possibly escape!

It immediately began to attack with all four limbs at the same time, turning the entire grassland upside down!

In an instant, countless tons of soil were thrown into the sky.

The entire dragon's body, like a meteorite, hurtled towards the Earth's core with immense force, forcefully clearing a path.

The golden dragon chased Bai Yang underground for four or five hundred kilometers before completely losing track of him.

Enraged, it unleashed its fury while still underground, triggering an earthquake that spread over thousands of kilometers.

But by then it was too late; Bai Yang had already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers away.

He used the "light body state" to ignore the obstacle of the soil.

Only under these circumstances could he compete with the Golden Dragon, who possessed peak combat power as a Realm Lord, in terms of speed.

Bai Yang's talent, when normally used to comprehend the laws, can be used for 15 minutes at a time, and a maximum of three times a day.

However, the [Photon Form], which can be used to dodge enemy attacks, only lasts for 10 seconds at a time.

With his current peak speed, comparable to that of the universe, combined with the enhancement of various abilities, he can reach a maximum speed of 3000 kilometers per second.

Guided by [Inspiration], he ran out of the Golden Dragon's territory almost instantly.

Even after ten seconds had passed, he was still not satisfied.

He instantly switched between his main body and the monster clone, with his main body entering the World Ring.

The monster's clone appeared in the soil in its complete serpent form.

In this form, the Monster King can easily roam within the Earth's crust, as if he were in his element.

The soil on Dragon Tower is much harder and thicker, but it is also much faster than the human body moving on its own.

Bai Yang sensed it slightly. Although he was separated from the Golden Dragon by an unknown distance, he still had a faint sense of direction.

Even the clones of monsters are no exception, but now distance is more important!

"Light Cone!"

The monster's clone also activated its own talent, continuing to move forward in the earth's crust at a speed of tens of kilometers per second.

It wasn't until after running for another five minutes that I finally broke free from the connection with the golden dragon.

"Switch!"

The monster's clone disappeared, but his spacetime clone appeared!

To avoid being targeted again, although the source of this connection with the dragons is still unknown.

However, using the body of a demon and then isolating his soul with the World Ring is still safer than before.

Bai Yang did not move again, but rested for a while.

In that last escape, he ran a kilometer at almost the speed of an average person sprinting 100 meters.

If we don't catch our breath soon, things will get really serious.

Fortunately, this time the other party really couldn't find him.

Half an hour later, after he had almost fully recovered his strength, there was still no sign of any enemy pursuing him.

Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally safe for the time being.

"This time it was really too dangerous."

This escape tactic could never be used a second time against those dragons at the peak of the Realm Lord level.

Is my journey to Dragon Tower Star about to end?

He was truly unwilling to accept it; the dragon genes here were just too strong.

He casually encountered two entities and gained the ability to be compatible with both laws.

What would happen if they encountered dragons who governed the laws of time, space, and light?

Perhaps there's even a chance to gain the talent of being favored by the laws!

His current ability to comprehend these three laws is actually at the "affinity" level.

It is only because of the [Light Body] and the spacetime clone that its performance is very close to the [Blessed] level.

If he can take this opportunity to directly upgrade his physical body's law talent to the Blessed level.

This will be of great help in the future.

"Individuals of each race have different talents."

According to Fangino, the planet was too primitive.

The battles between dragons were far too brutal and intense.

Nearly 90% of dragons are eaten or killed by their own kind when they are still young, and only a very few go through great hardships to reach full adulthood.

Similarly, in this situation, dragons can still survive and grow to the level of a Realm Lord, or even the peak level of a Realm Lord.

Their natural talent for laws is naturally stronger, and their combat power is far superior.

Not to mention the dragons guarding the area around the Dragon Tower.

The Dragon Tower is definitely a real treasure, but he doesn't even have the qualifications to get close to it.

Even survival itself became a problem.

Bai Yang thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Bai Yang, do you absolutely need to absorb the other person's fresh flesh and blood?"

Star Guardian suddenly asked.

"No, that's not it. What's wrong?"

"We're underground."
