THE GOD EATER Novel Chapter 453: Pursue Or Give Up

Chapter 453: Pursue Or Give Up.

However, just as the move of the fire god move took effect and the spears of fire began to fall on her, she dived back into the ground and disappeared from sight. She didn’t block the attack at all and instead sought refuge in the safety of the ground.

The fire god thought that she was only delaying the inevitable, which made it laugh in mockery. Then it turned into lava and pursued her through the ground. Unfortunately for it, things weren’t so simple.

Just as it transford into its lava form and entered the ground, she left the ground and flew away into the sky. So the fire god had to transform back into its giant physical form to pursue her.

However, after it was done transforming, the fire god discovered that she had run into the ground again. The fire god also discovered that the distance between them had beco wider.

At this point, the fire god couldn’t mock her anymore. After all, it now had two unpalatable choices. It could transform and continue to chase her on the ground, only for her to widen the distance between them by jumping out of the ground soon after, or it could give up and let her escape.

The fire god decided to give up on her. Instead of wasting its ti dealing with soone it was ill-equipped to handle, it decided to spend its ti doing sothing worthwhile.

It was actually needed sowhere else to deal with soone more important and the will of the world was urging it to go now, so it glared at her before turning away. But it promised to co with another world guardian the next ti it ca to hunt her.

The pill refiner imdiately took the chance to run to et up with the other rank 5 cultivators from her sect. There were no manifestations of their Life Abilities, but she knew where they were and how to get to them.

In fact, there were no manifestations of Life Abilities at all. Not one manifestation of a Life Ability, real or fake, was high up in the sky this ti around. At this point, no one was wondering why this was the case. Everyone knew why everyone was keeping a low profile.

However, not everyone was doing poorly. So were even doing better than escaping with their lives.

One person in particular was strong enough to fight a world guardian to a standstill. This person was a swordsman from the Sword Way Sect.

This swordsman had appeared above a sea. Even though he didn’t kill anyone, he was still attacked by the sea god because he had appeared too close to the sea god.

The sea god was a giant octopus. The head of the octopus was so large that it appeared to be an island when the swordsman first saw it.

A mont later, the swordsman was sure that it wasn’t an island, because the island grew large tentacles that it threw at him. The sea god also riled up the surrounding sea area and caused pillars of water to strike him.

The swordsman had used the Sword Step tac to dodge the pillar of water. But the pillars didn’t fall back into the water after they missed him. Instead, they spread out at the top and combined to form a canopy above him.

In just a few seconds, the canopy had co down to et the sea, thereby turning into a do. The do of water sealed the escape of the swordsman, while blades of water fell from the do to strike the swordsman.

The sea god also attacked with its 88 tentacles. So there was a barrage of attacks from below and above. Anyone else would have been easily overwheld by this, but not this swordsman.

The swordsman used the Sword Dance tac and the Sword Step tac to weave through the attacks. Then he used his Life Ability, the Sword Counter, to attack the sea god.

The Sword Counter Life Ability is an advanced form of the Sword Deflect tac. It is similar to the Sword Deflect tac in that it only needs to produce up to half of the power of an attack to take effect. But when it takes effect, it will redirect the attack back to its source, not just block it.

So the swordsman was able to use the power of the sea god against it. This is how he was able to fight the sea god to stand still.

Until sothing changes, like the swordsman growing tired or running out of energy, the two of them will continue to be in a stalemate.

The swordsman knew that he couldn’t continue to hold back the sea god, so he wanted to escape. But the sea god refused to let him escape. The sea god was always attacking him, so he had to block the attacks and didn’t have the ti to escape.

This made the swordsman say in despair, "It seems this is how I will die."

Then he smiled and said, "If I can die, then the others will not have a good ti either."

He can only take consolation in the fact that he is not the only one who will die. While this is not helpful to their situation, it is true that many people are dying.

The rank 4 cultivators are dying in droves. A single passing of the storm god could kill all five hundred rank 4 cultivators.

But the world guardians mostly ignored the rank 4 cultivators. The world guardians didn’t actively hunt them because they didn’t need to.

The world guardians were all busy hunting rank 5 cultivators. They actively sought out the rank 5 cultivators to kill them instead of hiding and hoping to keep their symbol of authority safe for one month.

However, even though the world guardians weren’t hunting the rank 4 cultivators, the rank 4 cultivators weren’t having things easy either. This was because they were being hunted by the world and the descendants of the world guardians.
