A dazzling light enveloped the Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl as it descended from the sky at an astonishing speed, as swift as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, it crashed down, about to hit its target.
At this critical moment, the old ox displayed his wit and agility, shifting his body and successfully dodging at the crucial instant.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Niu quickly opened his sleeves.
Instantly, a beam of clear light surged out from his sleeve, sweeping towards the Heavenly Emperor like a tidal wave.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor inwardly cried out in alarm, knowing full well the immense power of this beam of light.
So, without waiting for the light to arrive, he made a decisive move, leaping backward and shooting towards the horizon at top speed.
However, Old Niu would not easily let go of this opportunity.
He gripped the large club tightly, leaped into the air, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, swiftly catching up with the Heavenly Emperor like lightning, and then smashing the club down on his head.
With a deafening roar, before the giant club could even fall, the void shattered, and everything was thrown into a chaotic mess.
The Heavenly Emperor naturally knew how formidable the old ox was, and knew perfectly well that he couldn't use his own sword to directly withstand this blow.
So he forcibly changed position in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
However, Lao Niu's offensive did not stop. Although this strike missed, it was like the beginning of a storm.
The great staff in his hand transformed into a jet-black light, conjuring countless staff shadows like phantoms, tightly enveloping the Heavenly Emperor within them.
In just over ten rounds, the Heavenly Emperor was no longer able to dodge. His sword was knocked away by a blow and then slammed hard onto his shoulder.
With a crisp crack, the Heavenly Emperor's left shoulder visibly caved in.
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but using the force of the impact, he swooped down and temporarily escaped the old bull's attack.
Before he even landed, he reached out and gently touched his shoulder, whereupon a dazzling light flashed, and his injuries were instantly healed.
However, he did not choose to seek revenge on the old ox. Instead, after retrieving the Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl, he disintegrated his form, transforming into a dazzling rainbow light.
The rainbow light flashed by like a thunderbolt, and with a whoosh, it shot directly towards the horizon.
Since he had made up his mind to escape, his speed would naturally be fully unleashed.
In the blink of an eye, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles.
Old Niu, of course, would not let his opponent escape so easily. He put away his huge club, and his figure also turned into light, closely following the Heavenly Emperor and relentlessly pursuing him.
The two chased and fled, their figures flashing across the sky, while the scenery below also rushed by.
The Heavenly Emperor, standing in front, didn't even have time to look back. He only sensed the danger following him like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing his presence.
And so, after fleeing for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived in the outer void.
Ahead lay the starry sky, with the Milky Way flowing through the void like silver ribbons, radiating boundless silver light. Stars hung in the starlight, slowly rotating according to an inexplicable pattern.
The two flew one after the other through the sea of stars, heading straight for the end of the starry sky.
Seeing the old ox getting closer and closer, the Heavenly Emperor didn't turn his head and flicked his sleeves behind him. The Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl shot straight towards the old ox with a whoosh.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl transformed into a rainbow of light, moving at an astonishing speed, and arrived in front of the old ox in the blink of an eye.
Old Niu's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still grazed by the Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl, and his shoulder was immediately covered in blood.
He roared and continued chasing after the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor inwardly groaned; he hadn't expected the old ox to be so troublesome, able to keep up with his speed.
As he flew, he pondered how to escape the old bull's pursuit.
Suddenly, he saw a huge planet in front of him, and an idea struck him. He decided to use the planet to get rid of Lao Niu.
As they approached the planet, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly changed direction, his escape light flashing as he flew towards the planet.
Seeing this, the old ox thought the Heavenly Emperor was going to hide in that star, so it quickly sped up to catch up.
However, just as they were about to enter the planet's atmosphere, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly turned around, a sword appearing in his hand, and slashed fiercely at the old bull.
Old Niu hurriedly raised his big stick, and with a clang, the sword struck the stick.
Just as the old ox's body suddenly froze, the Heavenly Emperor opposite him also shuddered violently, then groaned and, using the immense force transmitted from the staff, flipped backward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Heavenly Emperor sped up and raced towards the sky above that star.
In the next instant, he flicked his sleeves with a flourish, and the star below immediately began to spin and fly out, hurtling towards the old ox at an astonishing speed.
Against the backdrop of that enormous star, the old ox looked as insignificant as a speck of dust, as if he might be instantly crushed into powder if he were to actually collide with the star.
However, this is merely a superficial phenomenon.
When Old Niu saw Xingchen flying towards him, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and he swung his big stick without hesitation.
With a deafening roar, the club slammed into the outer atmosphere of the star.
Then, there was another earth-shattering explosion.
The endless starlight exploded instantly, shooting out in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the star that had been rushing towards it suddenly paused, then made a rustling sound, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into countless tiny dust particles, which drifted into the air.
As the stars turned into dust, the old ox puffed out his chest and blew a breath forward. The dust in the sky was instantly swept up by a gust of wind and scattered into the sea of stars.
Now that his vision was unobstructed, the old ox looked ahead again and saw that the Heavenly Emperor had flown forward a distance and was about to escape from his sight.
He immediately leaped into the air, once again moving like lightning, and went straight after the Heavenly Emperor.
Before long, he closed the gap a bit further. The Heavenly Emperor, seeing that this old ox was like a piece of chewing gum, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. In a hurry, he turned around, and with a thought, boundless gentle breezes suddenly rose up in the sea of stars.
The gentle breeze stirred up countless stars, which rained down on the old ox like a storm.
Seeing this, the old ox's eyes flashed with disdain. He opened his mouth and sucked in all the stars.
Then, he exhaled a breath of stale air, which transformed into a gust of wind that collided with the gentle breezes, creating a deafening roar.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed. He hadn't expected the old ox to be so powerful, easily deflecting his attack.
He quickly transformed into light and fled again, trying to escape the old ox's pursuit, but the old ox was extremely fast and caught up with him in the blink of an eye...
