"Young Sect Master!"
Li Peng immediately shouted, his anxious voice bursting forth. "This old man can go instead. These old bones of mine do not matter even if they die. Please rest assured, Young Sect Master."
With that, Li Peng turned and strode out of the Myriad Thunder Pool.
"Elder Li Peng!"
Si Yingxue's entire body stiffened, the light in her eyes flickering uncertainly.
"Senior Brother, hold on!"
In the end, she descended back into the Myriad Thunder Pool and sat cross-legged. The Divine Lightning Soul Imprint between her brows flashed wildly as she violently absorbed the essence of lightning.
Her stalled aura finally began to rise once more. Though it was far slower than before, it continued advancing with unwavering determination.
Li Peng had already left the Myriad Thunder Pool. Outside, all he could see was that terrifying black light, along with an unprecedented and dreadful majesty radiating outward.
He saw Long Ze in the distance, and Lin Xuan standing ahead.
"Lin..."
He had just opened his mouth to call out when he was abruptly cut off by an aura that made his heart tremble.
"Capture you. As long as I capture you, I will be able to learn everything."
"Lin Xuan, you made me pay such an enormous price. You shall become my new shell."
Amid that radiating majesty, Long Ze erupted with an angry roar.
"So that is what he is after. Master's terrifying potential has made even the proud Descendants of the True Dragon cast aside their dignity."
Lan An murmured inwardly, then warned, "Master, you must hold on. His current state will not last long."
"This subordinate will act at the critical moment and do everything possible to ensure Master's safety."
Lin Xuan nodded lightly without saying more, merely raising his vigilance to the utmost.
