Chapter 570: Chapter 539: Pursuit

Whoosh——Whoosh——Whoosh——

Mingdu’s group, Lin Yun, Shenger, Shengsan, and the Golden Beast, were traveling at high speed and teleporting through space. Both fronts possessed overwhelming strength, all dumbfounding the three mighty forces watching them from a distance.

Lin Yun and the Golden Beast, who had been earlier encircled by Mingdu’s group, were now chasing after them. The tables had turned, it was now Mingdu’s group that was fleeing.

“Incredible…,” a voice muttered, lost for words.

“Impressive…,” another voice agreed, shaking its head.

“I’ve really seen it all today!”

The observers all began to let out their exclamations.

“The loss of that Heavenly-luck Flower was not in vain…” Someone suddenly said.

The crowd blinked in surprise, only to nod their heads in agreement. The Heavenly-luck Flower was indeed lost, but it was not in vain.

Every single 11th rank powerhouse was a terrifying existence for them. If even just one of them appeared, their chances of getting the Heavenly-luck Flower would diminish significantly.

Beyond belief, numerous 11th rank powerhouses were present that day.

Even the weaker 11th rank powerhouses were just insignificant participants. Lin Yun and the Golden Beast easily cut down many of them.

Their failure to acquire the Heavenly-luck Flower was perfectly understandable.

If they had gotten it, it would indeed be their lucky day.

But one should not have expectations of luck.

…

“Keep them back! Don’t let them catch up!” Mingdu commanded, looking back at the rapidly closing images of Lin Yun and the Golden Beast aboard an 8th level technological civilization battleship, his face solemn as iron.

In a short amount of time, it would be difficult for the 8th level technological civilization battleship to accelerate to maximum speed.

Nevertheless, the teleportation speed of Lin Qu and the Golden Beast was fast. If they continued this way, they would definitely catch up to their battleship.

They had to deploy an 11th level robot to intercept. A mere 10th level wouldn’t suffice.

Whoosh——whoosh——

Proceeding immediately, two 11th level robots set off to intercept lin Yun and the Golden Beast. One was early-stage 11th level and the other was mid-stage 11th level.

“Pew——Pew——”

However, the power of Lin Yun and the Golden Beast far surpasses the two robots; with Lin Yun’s power on par with a late-stage 11th level cultivator and the Golden Beast far exceeding a regular 11th level peak cultivator. How could these two low-quality 11th level robots block them?

Within the first exchange, the robots were killed by Lin Yun and the Golden Beast.

“Roar——”

The Golden Beast roared softly with a hint of hesitation after slaying one of the robots.

“Huh?”

Lin Yun was taken aback.

“Are you saying… I’m not teleporting quickly enough and should teleport onto you?”

Lin Yun asked with disbelief.

He thought he had misunderstood. Could Star Beasts and humans really coexist so harmoniously?

Despite knowing of many cases where humans had tamed Star Beasts, he was well aware that it was no easy task for a human to subdue a Star Beast.

Star Beasts were cunning and savage, difficult to tame – a common perception held by many cultivators.

If humans and Star Beasts were so compatible, they probably would not have this perception.

This Golden Beast was a giant Star Beast of the Universe. Could it trust him so much?

Important to note: If he were to teleport onto this Golden Beast, its risk of danger would significantly increase.

“Roar——”

The Golden beast lightly roared in response to Lin Yun’s question, affirming his assumption.

Believe it or not.

Now, Lin Yun unexpectedly hesitated.

The same logic applied. If he were to teleport to the Golden Beast, his own risk would also increase.

There’s a saying among humans, “A bird of a different feather is not of the same flock.” He had no intention of harming the Golden Beast, but could he trust it in return?

What if the Golden Beast had other thoughts? Once he teleported onto the beast, he would be like a lamb delivered into a tiger’s mouth.

“Roar——”

The Golden Beast roared at Lin Yun again, urging him, seeming to question why he hadn’t teleported onto it yet.

Meanwhile, with the passage of time, Mingdu’s battleship was accelerating at an increasing pace.

The two robots didn’t stop them from getting away, but did indeed delay them a little.

If Mingdu were to send stronger robots, especially three peak 11th level robots, they would definitely cause even more of a delay.

Perhaps Mingdu would successfully escape, but the question remained whether he was willing.

An 11th level peak robot would not come cheap.

Well then again, this seemed certain.

What price could compare to the value of one’s life?

Mingdu would certainly sacrifice the three 11th level peak robots when push comes to shove.

Mingdu’s decisiveness was clear from the very start when he immediately decided to retreat as soon as the situation became less favorable.

Witnessing this, Lin Yun also began to grow anxious.

However, Lin Yun soon clenched his teeth.

What was there to fear?

The Golden Beast wasn’t afraid, so why should he be?

Or was he implying that he was inferior to beasts?

Maybe because the Golden Beast was still young that it was so “outspoken”.

Lin Yun pondered to himself.

Whoosh——

With that thought, Lin Yun ceased hesitating and teleported to the “foot” of the Golden Beast after a few flickers.

The Golden Beast was gigantic. Although it was not as large as when Lin Yun first saw it, it was still as tall as over a thousand miles and thousands of miles long.

The Golden Beast naturally wouldn’t have a per se “foot.” Its foot was akin to a massively enlarged cow hoof, straight and flat at the same time.

Because it was so massive, small uneven places appeared flat, like small plazas, very level.@@novelbin@@

Lin Yun teleported to one of these locations for his own safety and to calm the beast’s nerves.

Both sides were at a safe distance from one another where they couldn’t easily attack each other.

Both humans and beasts share a sense of “security.”

Even if they knew the other had no ill intentions, if the others were in a dangerous position, they would feel uncomfortable.

Like the saying goes, “A sword hanging over one’s head” stems from this principle.

Even if one knew a pruning knife wouldn’t harm them, its tip pointing at them would make them uncomfortable.

Lin Yun sensed a hint of hesitation from the Golden Beast’s invitation, so he thought it best for everyone.

“Roar——”

The Golden Beast briefly glanced at Lin Yun and roared softly before starting to chase after Mingdu’s battleship at full speed.

Whoosh——Whoosh——Whoosh——

According to his current level, Lin Yun was already capable of teleporting at high speeds, and he had managed to quickly accept his increased teleportation distance even though his level had rapidly improved. But at this moment, he once again felt the rush of when he was still an ordinary man.

His viewpoint flashed from one scene to another. The speed of the Golden Beast’s teleportation, with him on board, was dozens of times faster than him alone.
