The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hesitated over whether to come out. Pure mental power was one thing, but none of them were weak.
His sixth sense told him that the only one he could beat was the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Besides, anyone mingling with the Emperor Auspicious Beast might well belong to the same group as those ferocious beasts at the Lake of Life.
After weighing it up, he decisively abandoned the idea. He could not afford that gamble. If he was captured again, he probably would not get another chance to escape.
He slowly withdrew his senses, preparing to retreat into the depths beneath the ground.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a gray orb of light appeared.
"With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars; no other in this world compares to me. To think a wisp of this old man's soul could still survive."
Li Chen could not be bothered with that ice silkworm either. He raised a hand and drew the orb over, then replenished its mental power. A pale golden halo spread across the gray orb's surface.
A few breaths later, the gray orb gradually took human form. Then Electrolux opened his eyes and looked at him. He had thought it was already an extraordinary stroke of luck for a wisp of his soul to survive.
He had expected to need a long period of slumber before he could awaken.
"I am Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer. Thank you for your assistance."
"I know. In fact, I came here specifically to wait for you."
"Wait for me?" Electrolux was rather surprised. He was not from this world, but from the Saint Magic Continent, yet this man actually knew him and had come specifically to wait for him.
