Jiang Hao was getting desperate. If he turned and fled a different direction the centipede wouldn't follow him but if he went straight he would get everyone in a pickle. Less than a second had passed and Jiang Hao made his decision, to fight.
'Oh? more for me to eat then.' The centipede sneered as he dived back into the earth. He came back up expecting to miss as he hasn't been trying to eat Jiang Hao for a while and was just toying with him. He was thinking about all the prey he will get in a second when he was knocked out of his thoughts.
"WHO DARES?" the centipede's voice boomed into everyone's head. Jiang Hao ignored it as he felt it before but little Yin and his cousins fell to the ground holding their head while his mother and aunt didn't seem bothered. Jiang Hao didn't notice this part though.
The centipede looked at Jiang Hao with a sharp glare deciding to kill him finally. He tilted his head and swallowed Jiang Hao whole. Finally done with him he turned back to the group only to be scared out of his wits and ran.
Jiang Tan's aura bursted out for the first time. Only her sister's and her saw what happened while the rest were on the floor. Jiang Tan seeing her son getting eaten was enraged. The centipede realized right then and their he made a mistake as she was much stronger than him. Diving straight into the earth he dived down on a confusing path. He covered his tracks as he left to stay hidden. Jiang Hao disappeared and was about the mound he left the next moment and sent a full forced punch at the dirt blowing it all away. She continued to do this and followed the centipede.
'YOU CRAZY WOMEN LEAVE ME BE' The centipede was running as fast as he could but after noticing what happened he screamed trying to throw Jiang Tan off. Jiang Tan wasn't effected and even sped up. The centipede was just running and wasn't paying attention to his surroundings so he never knew the direction they were going if he did he would turn back immediately. Half an hour went by since the chase Started. Jiang Tan was nearing the centipede and was soon gonna be able to see him. The centipede was getting tired and was still screaming at Jiang Tan.
Running out of ideas he was about to give up when he dug into something he would have avoided at all costs. "AH A VOID CRA-" He never finished when he then fell into the crack disappearing into the void.
"Damn it." Jiang Tan muttered as her flying faulted and she fell to the ground. She punched the ground but only with enough force to crack it. "Damn it why just why." Jiang Tan started to feel weak and cried out as a few tears came down her face.
She took a small bead out of her storage ring. She slightly smiled as she looked at it. "At least your still alive." The bead cracked and Jiang Tans face went pale. "No no no no no, you have to say alive you can't die on me." The bead cracked once snd stoped at that point. Jiang Tan watched the bead for a hour before she finally let out a breath in relief. putting the bead back she started her walk back while vowing to find Jiang Hao.

As the centipede ran into the void crack Jiang Hao was unconscious. A certain liquid in the centipede along with the screaming of the centipede knocked him unconscious. Time passed and the Centipede's body was soon gone and all that was their was jiang Hao floating in the void. It was chaotic but nothing touched Jiang Hao like he had some sort of protective field around him.
Void storms, random cracks, and even monsters appeared as he was unconscious but he was fine besides the changes happening to his body. His skin peeled and was replaced with new skin his mandarins destroyed and replaced. Void energy was gathering into his body. Soon his skin stopped breaking but his mandarins kept breaking. His body and aura started to contract and expand till it changed completely into a dragon and back again. It started as a baby dragon and slowly became older and older till it's became an adult.
His body and aura changed into a dragon again this time very old before it changed into a dragon skeleton the next change, it then became a baby again. This cycle happened many times and Jiang Hao woke up since the beginning but as put straight back asleep due to the pain. His aura changed until it didn't need to and matched the dragons and his body stopped changing reverting back into a human.
Void energy gathered and soon a giant void strong was created above Jiang Hao. A void crack opened nearby and world energy flowed into the storm. The storm covered a thousand kilometers and soon thunder tumbled.
Jiang Hao woke up to the sound of this and looked up before he started to sweat. "What the hell is going-" before he could finish Lighting struck him and he screamed out in pain. His face went pale but he immediately realized what was happening he was breaking through another big realm. This wasn't the first break through that happened since he came through the crack he is currently at divine Monarch Realm. He didn't know how much time has passed but with how quick he was progressing he realized that what he knew as Cultivation was wrong and probably the names are incorrect as well.
Many more lighting strikes came out and Jiang Hao just screamed in pain as his aura weakened but his eyes were full of vitality. Soon he broke through to Divine Sovereign realm but was oddly at the third stage when he realized the clouds never disappeared. "Well crap, I escaped one hell into another."
And he was struck by lighting again.
