Ten minutes later.
The two were still racing across the Siberian Steppe.
Just then, Qi Wu spotted a massive blood-red pillar of light ahead.
It shot into the sky, piercing the clouds!
At its source was a colossal Flesh Nexus, over a hundred meters in diameter!
Despite its name, a teleportation core sounded like some sort of teleportation array.
But it was actually a living organism.
