A hundred miles away, Spatial Force flared as Formation Patterns lit up, and the figures of Su Han and Gong Ming emerged from within. A single teleportation had carried them a hundred miles, showcasing Gong Ming's high level of Formation Mastery. However, this distance was negligible for the Kun Jing Great Emperor. The sense of crisis from behind still lingered, like a sharp dagger pressed against their backs, making both men's hair stand on end with the feeling that a great disaster was imminent.

"Let's go to the outer sea! I've set up a series of Teleportation Arrays there that can send us back to the Eastern Region. Once we're there, the Kun Jing Great Emperor won't be able to touch us!" Gong Ming's expression was grave as he grabbed Su Han and continued to flee for their lives.

If they were caught by the Kun Jing Great Emperor, their deaths were certain, without a doubt.

Su Han remained silent, seizing the time to recover from his injuries. Only by maintaining his peak condition could he hope to escape. He would not submit, not even to a Great Emperor Realm expert.

SWISH!

Gong Ming activated the Myriad Laws Holy Banner, once again laying down a Spatial Transmission Formation. Instantly, their figures vanished.

However, they were in the deep sea, still an immense distance from the Eastern Region. Escaping back was not going to be an easy task. Furthermore, Gong Ming's conspicuous use of formations to flee had drawn the attention of many sea beasts.

SPLASH!

A shark with razor-sharp teeth leaped from the sea, instantly expanding its Domain to interfere with the surrounding space. This shark was a Supreme Realm powerhouse, though its strength was mediocre and not on par with the Fierce Shark Demon Venerable. It had sensed Su Han and Gong Ming's desperate escape, as well as the supreme, majestic aura of the Kun Jing Great Emperor.

Therefore, it attacked without hesitation. Its target was not Gong Ming but the Spatial Transmission Formation. The shark's plan was clear: if it could destroy the formation, it would delay Su Han and Gong Ming. When the Kun Jing Great Emperor arrived, everything would be settled, and the shark would be rewarded for its contribution.

BOOM! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This shark Demon Venerable was not weak, and it specifically targeted the Formation Patterns. The Spatial Transmission Formation shook violently, becoming highly unstable and nearly collapsing.

"Nine-Formation Demon Annihilation!"

Gong Ming had no time to waste on this Demon Venerable. He directly deployed his trump card, unleashing a linked sequence of nine formations that blasted the shark into a bloody mist.

But the beasts of the East Sea were innumerable, and none of them were cowards. Each one was ferocious and dared to fight. In the moments that followed, more and more sea beasts launched sudden attacks, assailing the Formation Patterns.

Although Gong Ming was an Array Master and a powerful Saint Realm expert, the threat of the Kun Jing Great Emperor was like a spike in his back, preventing him from stopping. Consequently, he couldn't fully fend off the endless tide of beasts.

The Spatial Transmission Formation soon suffered several large holes and became very unstable, ready to collapse at any moment. They were still a vast distance from the outer sea.

"I'll hold them off!" Su Han declared, his eyes snapping open. He had recovered his strength. Stretching out his hand, he summoned the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and immediately activated it, smashing a Heavenly King Realm sea beast back into the ocean.

With Su Han fending off the sea beasts, Gong Ming could focus on repairing the Spatial Transmission Formation, only intervening when a Supreme Realm beast appeared. Soon, the formation was repaired, and the two entered it again, teleporting another hundred miles.

In this manner, with Su Han holding off the beasts while Gong Ming set up the Great Formation, the two worked in perfect unison. They teleported continuously, escaping several thousand miles from the deep sea.

At this moment, however, the aura of the Kun Jing Great Emperor closed in, approaching like a world-engulfing tide. Both Su Han and Gong Ming's faces changed drastically.

"Run!" Gong Ming yelled, grabbing Su Han and fleeing frantically, no longer caring about the other sea beasts.

This time, however, they had just entered the Spatial Transmission Formation when the Kun Jing Great Emperor's aura bore down on them.

CRACK!

Though the Kun Jing Great Emperor had not arrived in person, a mere wisp of his aura was enough to crush space-time and destroy the heavens and the earth. Gong Ming's Spatial Transmission Formation was instantly riddled with cracks before it burst open with a BANG!

The Spatial Transmission Formation was completely destroyed.

A hundred miles away, the figures of Su Han and Gong Ming reappeared. The moment they emerged, their faces turned pale, and they violently spewed mouthfuls of blood, staggering to the ground with significant injuries. Although they had successfully teleported out, the blast from the formation's destruction had wounded them both.

"Intermediate Grade Forbidden Technique: Divine Fire Burning the Heavens!"

Daring not to hesitate for a second, Gong Ming instantly cast a powerful Forbidden Technique, though his was different from others. The Divine Fire referred to the fire of the spirit. Within Gong Ming's sea of consciousness, his vast Divine Sense spontaneously ignited, transforming into towering flames that were bright, scorching, and full of vitality.

This was a method to stimulate the potential of his Divine Sense through combustion, but the side effect was that it would burn away his Divine Sense completely, which would need to be painstakingly recondensed later.

As his Divine Sense burned, Gong Ming's efficiency in inscribing Formation Patterns and setting up formations increased rapidly. Holding the Myriad Laws Holy Banner, he activated the many layers of Formation Patterns within and quickly constructed another Spatial Transmission Formation.

WHOOSH!

Without hesitation, Gong Ming pulled Su Han inside, and their figures vanished. But moments later, the Kun Jing Great Emperor's aura crushed down again, blasting this formation to pieces as well.

A hundred miles away, Su Han and Gong Ming appeared once more. Their injuries were even more severe, but they dared not stop, for to stop meant death.

"Energy Physique!"

Su Han went all out. He activated his Sacred Body, and his body immediately transformed into a Black Hole, attempting to use its Devouring Force to resist some of the Kun Jing Great Emperor's aura. He had already achieved the Great Accomplishment of his Sacred Body, and his Black Hole Transformation could devour all things. However, the aura of a Great Emperor Realm expert was simply too strong. The instant he began to devour it, he felt as if he would burst. Blood flowed from every orifice, his pores ruptured, and his entire body was dyed red—a horrifying sight.

Gong Ming used his Forbidden Technique to unleash the potential of his Divine Sense. He set up Spatial Transmission Formations with ever-increasing speed, carrying Su Han with him as they teleported repeatedly in a desperate attempt to flee.

But the Kun Jing Great Emperor's aura drew closer and closer. Every time Su Han and Gong Ming had just escaped, their Spatial Transmission Formation would be crushed behind them.

Nevertheless, through continuous teleportation and a desperate flight for their lives, they finally escaped from the deep sea to the outer sea.

"My array of continuous teleportation formations is just ahead!" Gong Ming announced, swiftly sensing its location. He immediately dragged Su Han into a run. His Myriad Laws Holy Banner was now completely devoid of Formation Patterns, and most of the Divine Sense in his sea of consciousness had been burned away. His Physical Body was fractured, and he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his injuries more severe than ever before.

Soon, they arrived before the linked Teleportation Arrays. Gong Ming had set them up in advance to help Su Han escape back to the Eastern Region; he just hadn't expected to be fleeing for his own life alongside him.

"Go!"

Gong Ming quickly activated the Great Formation, and both he and Su Han vanished.

This array consisted of over a hundred linked formations, capable of continuous teleportation that would send them directly to the Eastern Region.

As Su Han and Gong Ming teleported again and again amidst violent spatial fluctuations, they finally set foot on solid ground, having successfully escaped back to the Eastern Region.
