Xuanyuan Batian plunged into the lake, diving swiftly toward its depths.
Far above the lake's surface!
Qin Jishi quietly watched ahead, muttering without pause.
"Given Xuanyuan Batian's strength, it should be about time, shouldn't it?"

The second was a colossal creature, radiating a suffocating aura of oppression.
Even from a great distance away, Qin Jishi could still feel the heavy pressure emanating from that enormous
