In that endless expanse of darkness.
A certain dark territory.
Chu Yuan and the young Saint 'Heaven-reaching Sovereign' both paused here.
Both of them were panting heavily, and the light radiating from their bodies flickered unsteadily.
Both were incomparably powerful beings.
Yet, such was the exhaustion from their chase that it showed just how long they had been flying.
The two were quite dramatic.
One fleeing and the other pursuing.
Throughout, they careened wildly through the boundless darkness, occasionally diving into the River of Time in their mad scramble.
The drawn-out chase left them both utterly spent.
"Really now, Daoist friend, why are you running?"
The Heaven-reaching Sovereign propped himself up by the waist, gasping for air.
"Then why are you chasing me?"
Chu Yuan too was totally exhausted, speaking in a low voice.
"If you didn't run, would I chase you?"
"If you didn't chase, would I run?"
