In the Undersea Void Realm, Xue Mian tightly held the girl's slender hand, his brows furrowed as he gazed in the direction they had come from, waiting anxiously.
"Boom..."
A series of booming sounds echoed between heaven and earth. The invisible void twisted violently and then collapsed. Suddenly, streaks of pitch-black lightning shot out from the Endless Void, carrying a terrifying aura of world destruction. They instantly destroyed large swathes of forest below. Countless demonic beasts perished instantly under the bombardment of this lightning. The surrounding collapsed forests had turned into a sea of fire. The entire Undersea Void Realm had now become like a purgatory.
Upon seeing this scene, both Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er, who was hiding behind him, were startled. The girl behind him couldn't help but let out a scream, and Xue Mian was also sweating profusely, his heart trembling with fear.
The power of that lightning was unimaginable; once it targeted the two of them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to dodge.
"Brother Xue Mian... why hasn't Mr. Xiao Yan come out yet...?"
The girl clutched at the corner of Xue Mian's black robe with fear in her heart, and timidly spoke with a heart full of worry.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. Mr. Xiao Yan's strength is the strongest I've ever seen among all the Dou Di experts. Let's wait a little longer, he will definitely come out!"
Xue Mian gritted his teeth, looking down at the partially collapsed earth below. His heart sank. If Xiao Yan didn't come out soon, they would probably have to enter the exit of the Undersea Void Realm no matter what.
"If Mr. Xiao Yan hasn't come out in another quarter of an hour... then we'll have no choice but to leave."
He gently patted the girl's shoulder and said Xue Mian.
Upon hearing this, the latter obediently nodded slightly, suppressing his fear and waiting patiently.
Meanwhile, deep within the Undersea Void Realm, Xiao Yan was using his Dou Qi to push his exhausted body to its limits, forcibly drawing out the power from his muscles and shooting forward again and again.
Sweat poured out continuously, soaking Xiao Yan's robes, but even more of it fell into the endless abyss below.
The boundless earth was collapsing at a visible speed. Even right in front of Xiao Yan, the earth was collapsing completely. In the pitch-black, Endless Void, bolts of earth-shattering lightning continuously struck down, mercilessly blasting away the fleeing demonic beasts, as if cleaning up this world polluted by the outside world.
With the rules changing, this Undersea Void Realm no longer has any reason to exist; its complete collapse and disappearance is only a matter of time.
Seeing what was happening before his eyes, Xiao Yan's heart tightened. He gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength, and exerted all his strength to rush forward.
But at that very moment, in the Endless Void, a terrifying bolt of lightning, astonishing and unparalleled, suddenly crashed down upon Xiao Yan's head!
Damn it!
With a change in expression, Xiao Yan exerted all his strength to mobilize the Dou Qi that had just recovered in his body. At the same time, the little bit of power that had just been gathered in his body also erupted at this moment. He tilted his body to the side and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"Boom..."
Thunder descended, crashing down directly onto Xiao Yan's body. Terrifying destructive power emanated from it, and even the already collapsed Endless Void was clearly distorted violently!
In the end, Xiao Yan narrowly escaped the lightning by a stroke of incredible luck. The unparalleled lightning was thus swallowed up by the Endless Void. However, even so, a small amount of the terrifying power contained within the lightning still managed to seep into Xiao Yan's body, rapidly circulating throughout his limbs and bones. Instantly, a tingling sensation entered Xiao Yan's mind, and his entire body began to fall uncontrollably downwards.
"Boom!"
Missing its first strike, the lightning seemed unwilling to give up and struck again. However, this time, Xiao Yan's body was completely out of his control, and he could only watch helplessly as the lightning crashed down on him.
"Damn it! Move! Move now!"
Exhausted and out of control, Xiao Yan roared and screamed wildly in his mind. Terrifying lightning descended rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only a foot away from his body!
At this distance, facing such terrifying lightning, even an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Di would probably have a hard time dodging it, let alone Xiao Yan, who was already exhausted.
The next moment, the lightning, brimming with destructive power, arrived before Xiao Yan, only inches away from his body. Instantly, the hairs on Xiao Yan's body stood on end. The power of the lightning, even through the invisible void, flowed into Xiao Yan's body, surging into his muscles and bones, and a stinging pain immediately followed...
"Boom!"
Thunder descended, piercing through the void and disappearing into the Endless Void once more. And Xiao Yan's body, miraculously, dodged this fatal blow once again!
Above the void, Xiao Yan stared resentfully at the terrifying lightning that disappeared into the Endless Void, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. He hadn't expected that he could actually turn misfortune into blessing under such circumstances.
He grinned, unsure whether it was from the physical pain or the joy in his heart, and then his gaze returned to himself.
Looking down at his shoulder, a tiny wisp of lightning shot out from beneath his muscles before vanishing. However, what truly pleased Xiao Yan was the pale blue phantom image of Wei Ran that was now taking shape behind him.
Stimulated by the power of those thunderbolts, Xiao Yan unleashed the last ounce of potential energy within his body. Unexpectedly, this full power inadvertently condensed the blue phantom image behind him, which is the third move of the Four Xiao Yan Four Saints Manifestation Art, the Winged Elephant Art!
It was precisely because of the Winged Elephant Art that Xiao Yan was able to dodge the lightning bolt!
"Call..."
Feeling the faint power within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath. He raised his eyes and looked at the lightning that had once again gathered power and crashed down from the high void. He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembled, and with the help of the Winged Elephant Art, his figure disappeared instantly. The lightning that followed missed its target once again!
As for Xiao Yan, he didn't linger at all, letting the thunderous pursuit carry him away from the area before his internal energy dissipated again.
At the same time, Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er, at the exit of the Undersea Void Realm, sighed heavily. After confirming that Xiao Yan had not yet come out, they slowly turned around and, after a slight hesitation, stepped into the passage.
