Fang Chen did not know how long he had held out in the Gray Space. Perhaps it had been one hour, perhaps five, perhaps an entire day.
He could feel the Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm's power steadily waning.
The beams were still terrifyingly dense, but each one had lost the concentrated force it possessed at first. They were like a river whose waters were being drained away, its level sinking bit by bit.
"How is this possible?"
The Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm was beginning to panic. It had thought that once it trapped Fang Chen with its ultimate move, killing him would be easy.
But now, more than half her power was spent, and he was still alive.
This human is too strange. He even killed the Chaos Evil Dragon Beast King. I can't let my guard down. I can't keep this up!
The Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm began to think of retreat.
The next moment, it dispelled the Ten Thousand-Eyed Prison.
The Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm's figure flashed through the many halls of the Chaos Dragon Palace like a bolt of amber lightning.
She moved faster than ever before, so fast that she seemed a burning meteor, trailing a twisted streak of amber light between the dark-gold pillars.
Fang Chen followed close behind, the Floating Immortal Sword humming in his hand. He could feel the Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm's aura fluctuating wildly, with the urgency and resolve of a beast driven into a corner and searching for one last escape route.
She was fleeing, but she was not fleeing blindly.
Fang Chen noticed how precise every turn the Chaos Thousand-Eyed Worm made was. Each passage it took skirted the palace's Energy Nodes and defensive Restrictions perfectly, as though it were a master of its own lair using the terrain to shake off a pursuer.
