Lin Ye activated Starlight Escape, braving the pressure and magnetic interference as he sprinted toward the lake surface at full speed!
"Splash—!"
Dozens of deep-blue magnetic-light chains swept in from every direction at the bottom of the pit, madly coiling toward Lin Ye. Wherever they passed, the lake water was forcibly driven aside, and any lakebed rock they so much as grazed was reduced to powder in an instant!
"Troublesome!" Lin Ye's gaze turned cold. A wisp of Stellar Annihilation Dao intent circulated around him as he met the magnetic-light chains head-on and threw a punch!

Moments later, a column of water exploded from the center of Meteor Lake. Lin Ye burst from the water and landed steadily on the shore.
His face was pale and his breathing slightly disordered. Looking back at the lake, he saw dark-blue halos flickering beneath the surface. The demonic beast at the lakebed had not pursued him out of the water.

He did not dare linger by the lakeside. He immediately
