But now that I knew how conveniently she could dispel the baleful energy, I certainly couldn't feed the Innate Demonic Qi its favorite delicacy at the cost of my life. Besides, judging from the expression on her face as she held A City of Shocking Snow and waited for me to come over, I knew that even while cleansing the baleful energy, she was still incredibly dangerous. So I turned around without hesitation and fled at top speed! Buying myself even a little time would be a tremendous advantage!
I was exhausted from running for my life, while using my Golden Core to recover my Dao power along the way. Fortunately, I had managed to break free from the battle for a short while; otherwise, I really might have been beaten back to the Seventh Heaven this time. What a pity about the jade ship I had borrowed from Taishu Yu, too. It had been destroyed by the impact of the Forbidden Slave while docked at the boundary dock. Otherwise, as I fled now, I could have stabilized my cultivation along the way instead of having to divide my attention and desperately restore my body.
More than half a day passed, and I could no longer see the Forbidden Slave behind me, but I still didn't dare rest for even a moment. I raced southeast, because the area there was relatively desolate. As long as there were no active planets in the places we passed, the Forbidden Slave couldn't absorb spiritual energy, and I would have a way to wear her down.
Besides, I was extracting True Immortal Qi from the Great Dao Golden Core while flying and using it to stabilize my cultivation. By my calculations, after some time, I would be able to consolidate my cultivation while flying.
