This space made Xi Xiu feel enormous pressure. If the metal sphere the Hu Jing Beast had melted into exploded, this space would likely be completely destroyed.
The Hu Jing Beast intended to perish with them.
Xi Xiu was not confident she could survive such an explosion. After taking every possible defensive measure, they activated their mechas and fled from the metal sphere at top speed.
Yet that thing relentlessly pursued them.
It had no intention of letting them go.
Li Zhengfeng had dismantled every one of the Hu Jing Beast's organs. It would settle this score before it died. The Hu Jing Beast was a Star Beast that held grudges to the bitter end.
Otherwise, if its clan received its lingering consciousness and learned that mere humans and other species had torn apart its home, it would likely never again be able to obtain a body.
The three of them raced through this uncharted starfield in their mechas. Even flying beyond the limits of their mechas, they were still caught by the metal sphere the Hu Jing Beast had become.
That tiny metal sphere, brimming with energy, spun rapidly around them.
It seemed to mock them: Run. Go on, run. This is my territory.
Xi Xiu remained utterly focused.
Though she no longer feared death, dying under such suffocating pressure would be agonizing.
Li Zhengfeng also found the suffocating sensation before him terrifying, while Qing Zhixun kept worrying about Xi Xiu, afraid she would drift too far away from him.
He gripped Xi Xiu tightly with his mechanical arm, while Xi Xiu had Ebony firmly bind Li Zhengfeng's body so he would not be separated from them.
She also instructed Ebony that if Li Zhengfeng's body could not be preserved, it had to at least protect his mechanical brain
