In an instant, Steel Dragon and Hades were taken into the space of the Dragon God's ranch, leaving only Du Lu—who was the fastest—to carry him as he fled frantically.
When Holy Zither saw this scene, she was stunned. She had never thought that Joelson truly would be so decisive.
"I'll take care of you now."
The diamond skeleton muttered to himself and his attention returned to Holy Zither.
It had come to kill the Holy Zither in the first place.
The Holy Zither wanted to turn around and escape but she realized that the space around her had been frozen again. The diamond skeleton's hand slowly fell down like a cleaver.
Was she going to die here?
The Holy Zither widened her eyes. There was no fear or fear on her face. There was only a thick sense of unwillingness and despair.
Suddenly, the sound of a hot knife cutting through butter rang in her ears.
A chain made of purple flames barely broke through the space seal. It wrapped around Holy Zither's slender waist and pulled her back.
At this moment, the diamond skeleton's hand bones fell, and space was torn apart like a piece of paper.
Holy Zither looked at the black space tear and her heart palpitated. If she had been a moment slower, her body would have been torn into two like space.
Her body was pulled uncontrollably onto a broad, thick, and hard body. Joelson looked at her with a cold and slightly helpless gaze.
"If you want to live, then behave yourself."

The atmosphere in her heart was tense and she wanted to raise her sword to slash at Joelson's head. However, she remembered that she had been saved by Joelson, and she suddenly stopped what she was doing. However, it affected her injuries and she gave a muffled groan.
Joelson could not be bothered with her.
Initially, he did not want to save her. However, he thought that with one more person, the diamond skeleton would have another target to chase after. At the critical moment, he might be able to throw the Holy Zither as a shield. Hence, he changed his mind and saved her.
If the Holy Zither knew the true purpose of Joelson saving her, she might be so angry that she would spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Du Lu, go that way!"
With his sensitivity to water laws, Joelson roughly found out the location where the water element was most concentrated and urged Du Lu to fly forward.
Du Lu, who was at the peak of saint-level, was as fast as a bolt of lightning. Every time he flapped his wings, he would cover a distance of dozens of miles.
However, when Joelson inadvertently looked back, he was surprised to find that the diamond skeleton was actually following behind them slowly.
The diamond skeleton shuttled through the void.
With a single step, space shattered. When it walked out of another space, it would disappear from a distance of nearly a hundred miles.
The means of the divine-ranked!
Joelson attempted to throw various types of forbidden spells at the diamond skeleton. He wanted to use the same strategy he had used against the lava tyrant previously.
However, no matter what kind of spell it was, the diamond skeleton could destroy it with a wave of its hand. There was simply no way to hinder it in the slightest.
The only good news at the moment was that it did not seem to be in a hurry to kill the two of them immediately. Instead, it was like a cat catching a mouse, slowly following behind them.

What other method was there?
What other method could he use to deal with this terrifying skeleton at the level of the divine-ranked?
It seemed like there was only one method left.
A sleeping, pitch-black body that was as large as the night flashed through Joelson's mind.
Summoning the Dark Demon Dragon to attack!
Joelson's eyes flickered, his eyes filled with hesitation.
He did not know how powerful the Dark Demon Dragon was. However, at least divine-level, it might be able to deal with the diamond skeleton.
However, the price of summoning the Dark Demon Dragon to attack was extremely high.
Before his intimacy reached 60 points, he had to offer a sacrifice that could tempt the dark dragon.
He had asked the system before.
In the list of sacrifices provided by the system, there was only one item that he could offer.
Lifespan!
If he offered half of his lifespan to the dark dragon, he would be able to summon the dark dragon once.

For example, at the peak of saint-rank, Joelson's lifespan could reach 1,000 years.
If he broke through to the divine realm, his lifespan could exceed 10,000 years.
Now, half of his lifespan was 500 years.
Joelson was only 18 years old this year. He did not even live to a fraction of his 1,000-year lifespan.
Five hundred years did not seem to be unacceptable.
What Joelson was hesitant about was whether he could ensure that he could advance to the divine level within five hundred years.
His path was very special. The upper limit of perfection of laws far exceeded that of an ordinary person. Moreover, he had cultivated many types of laws at the same time. It would take an extremely long time to reach perfection.
Moreover, if he were to encounter an unstoppable divine-level pursuer in the future, what would he do if he were to throw this final trump card out now?
As for returning to the Dragon God Ranch, divine-ranked experts all had the ability to seal off space. Although divine-ranked experts might not be able to seal off the Dragon God's space, they might very well be slapped to death the moment they entered the space, or, they might be torn into countless pieces by the shattered space fragments, just like how those people he had seen before died. They would shatter into pieces like mirrors.
Unless it was the last moment, Joelson would not do that.
Just as Joelson was crazily thinking of countermeasures, he had already arrived at the end of the water.
At the edge of the small world, the water extended to the edge as if it was forcefully cut off. It looked as if there was no way forward.
"The entrance to the next level of space!"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
Joelson turned his head and saw that Holy Zither's eyes were firmly fixed on a certain spot under the water. She whispered, "I have a way to stop it wherever I go!"
Holy Zither seemed to have put herself and Joelson on the same side during the short escape just now. There was no other way. If Joelson died, she would not live either.
Joelson did not know where this woman's confidence came from but, whether what she said was true or not, whether they could enter the next level was a big problem.
The diamond skeleton slowly caught up. In a few seconds at most, he would slap both of them. At that time, it would be up to luck whether Joelson or Holy Zither would die first.
At this moment, a huge shadow was slowly rising from the entrance that Holy Zither had mentioned.
The surface of the water within dozens of miles was churning. The stagnant water was stirred.
In the next second, a huge hole appeared in the center of the water and all the seawater sank into the center.
Joelson and Holy Zither opened their eyes wide and saw a terrifying black hole slowly rising from the water. The two of them were within the range of the black hole.
It was a mouth.
The mouth of a certain sea monster. If they were not wrong, it should be the guardian of the entrance.
Its aura was not very strong, only at the peak of saint-level. However, this aura that seemed like it wanted to devour the entire ocean was extremely shocking.
Joelson turned around and saw the diamond skeleton that was already approaching. He was shocked.
He grabbed Holy Zithers's hand and shouted in a low voice, "Go!"
