Elizabeth fell into the inner side of the ghost gate. A gloomy blue flash passed before her eyes, and she found herself at the edge of the Sunken Ghost Realm.
Zhang Chen did not dare underestimate Azathoth's strength in the slightest. His entire body entered Forbidden Release form as he stepped beyond the borders of the Sunken Ghost Realm.
At this moment, the Ghost Realm marker that Zhang Chen had once received from Wan Mo, an American prison envoy, indicated the Ghost Realm's current location within his body. To escape Azathoth's pursuit, heading to the Ghost Realm was the best choice.
"Excellent! The Ghost Realm's current location isn't in the western region affected by the void."
Just as Zhang Chen tore open a spatial passage, a sudden palpitation came from within the Sunken Ghost Realm. Hundreds of enormous tentacles spread across the sky, blanketing the entire Sunken Ghost Realm and locking onto Zhang Chen and Elizabeth's location.
At the tip of the tentacle closest to them, the face of a gloomy middle-aged man emerged. A body then broke free from within it and separated into an independent form.
Azathoth's true body, over two and a half meters tall, with a human upper half and a lower half composed of tentacles, appeared less than ten meters behind Zhang Chen and Elizabeth.
"How is that possible?!"
The Sunken Ghost Realm was under Zhang Chen's control. He had already adjusted the internal repulsion effect to its maximum, greatly disrupting Azathoth's perception at the center. Yet the other party had located the direction of their escape in less than a second.
The deep-level spatial passage Zhang Chen had torn open was also forcibly sealed at that moment as an essence of chaos diffused through its center.
"Zhang Chen! Leave first. I'll hold him back."
