As the male protagonist, Li Xiaoya naturally would not meet his end so easily.
Just as thoughts of death arose in Li Xiaoya's heart, before he could think of another solution, the Protective Barrier shattered like a bubble with a sharp crack! Terrifying pressure slammed straight into him. It felt just like the time that fifth-rank demonic beast had struck him, as though every bone in his body were being crushed. Worse still, his skin split open all over, and torrents of blood stained the vast expanse of milky-white water around him red.
The agonizing pressure made Li Xiaoya pass out instantly.

Drawn along by the five-colored vortex, the milky-white lake water gradually cleansed his body, which gave off wisps of white mist. Large amounts of yellow liquid seeped out through his exposed skin.
