The encirclement formed by the vast Strange Tide was rapidly closing in.
Yellow Springs Continent and Eternal Night Continent sat alone within it, like two isolated islands clinging to each other. Surrounded by the overwhelming Strange Tide, they could see no hope of survival.
Only...
Only the enormous opening blasted by that earth-shattering cannon shot remained on the flank.
That was their only way out.
Enveloped in emerald green light, Eternal Night Continent reacted swiftly, preparing to charge toward that sole opening to survival. It instantly shut down its original Mysterious Heaven Propellers and activated those on its flank, sending the continent skidding rapidly sideways across the sea.
Long Qi watched Eternal Night Continent speed away and smiled. He took a flask from his robes, sipped lightly, and murmured in a drunken haze, "Forgot to tell Chen Fan to bring my daughter a present when he gets back."
"But that kid's thoughtful."
"He should remember, right?"
By now.
Yellow Springs Continent had come to a complete stop on the sea.
Its ultimate form had been activated.
Countless raised platforms rose from the wasteland inside the continent, covered in innumerable defensive structures that were now firing madly outward. High overhead, the phantom of that heavy cannon was especially striking!
That was...
The Mortal World Heavy Cannon.
A structure only a ninth-level continent could use.
He had forcibly installed it on his own.
Its power was impressive.
It just made the continent much slower.
"Boss."
A Subordinate beside him spoke urgently. "We can fire the Mortal World Heavy Cannon again in a hundred breaths. The men have already gone to cool the cannon tower's base."
"That's enough."
Looking a little dazed, Long Qi said, "In a hundred breaths, we'll clear the pursuers off the Mortal Domain's tail again. That should do it."
