"Drink! Break! Break it for me!"
Xiao Yan let out another desperate roar in his heart, and all the Dou Qi in his body poured out at this moment, attacking the barrier between Xiao Yan and the Five-Star Half-Emperor with all his might.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, that invisible barrier remained unmoved, and no matter how powerful his attacks were, they were all in vain.
On the contrary, under the repeated impacts, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's own power was greatly affected by the backlash, and his aura became weak. If this continued, his strength would probably be greatly affected.
"This kid can't be allowed to continue like this. If he keeps going like this, even I might not be able to control the situation!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was still forcibly urging Dou Qi to break through the barrier of Five-Star Half-Emperor with a crazy expression, Gu You couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity and murmured to himself.
Given Xiao Yan's current state, without sufficient pure Dou Qi as support, he simply couldn't forcefully break through to the fifth star level. Although there were countless bolts of lightning power within this space, Xiao Yan didn't have time to refine them at the moment.
As for Gu You, although he could help Xiao Yan break through to the fifth star, he wouldn't do so. His bottom line is to keep Xiao Yan safe and sound, and as for the breakthrough, he can only rely on himself.
After Xiao Yan failed to break through the barrier once again, Gu You finally seized the opportunity. With a swift movement, she appeared in front of Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and pointed a finger at his brow.
"Roar!"
Just as Gu You's finger was about to land on Xiao Yan's brow, Xiao Jin, who was coiled around Xiao Yan, suddenly let out a low roar. The dragon's roar was like a huge wave, carrying a powerful invisible wave that swept towards Gu You.
Upon seeing this, Gu You's expression showed a slight surprise. He took two steps back, then casually shattered the invisible wave that was coming his way with a wave of his sleeve. He then frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Jin Xiao Jin, and with a smirk, gently reprimanded him:
"You little brat, can't you see I'm saving him? Why are you so stubborn? If I don't intervene, this kid's future cultivation will be in trouble!"
Xiao Jin clearly understood Gu You's words, but showed no intention of backing down. Instead, its massive body twisted again, completely enveloping Xiao Yan in the center. In this way, Gu You would have to pass through Xiao Jin if it wanted to get close to Xiao Yan.
Seeing Xiao Jin's actions, Gu You couldn't help but feel slightly surprised. Although Xiao Jin had not yet taken human form, its intelligence was no less than that of a normal human. However, its current behavior did not seem to be about saving Xiao Yan.
"You brat, get out of the way right now, or Xiao Yan will be beyond saving!"
Gu You frowned at Xiao Jin again and scolded him softly. He was quite helpless about Xiao Jin's stubbornness. Xiao Jin's relationship with Xiao Yan was extraordinary, which made Gu You quite worried when facing Xiao Jin.
However, given the current situation, Xiao Yan had no other choice. If Gu You didn't intervene soon, then Xiao Yan would truly be beyond saving.
"Sigh... you little rascal, why do you cause trouble at such a crucial moment, making things difficult for this old man..."
Frowning and sighing softly, Gu You felt helpless. Her withered hand suddenly reached out from under her sleeve, intending to forcibly pull Xiao Jin away.
However, the next moment, Xiao Jin's massive body suddenly trembled, and then Xiao Jin's whole body emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the dark Lightning Pool as if it were daytime.
"Roar!"
Then, Xiao Jin let out a deafening dragon roar, the sound like thunder, shaking heaven and earth. Immediately afterward, a beam of Dou Qi containing purple-gold light shot out from Xiao Jin's mouth and disappeared into the endless void above.
The next moment, lightning gathered, and under Xiao Jin's control, hundreds of jet-black lightning bolts quickly condensed together. The violent energy within was forcibly annihilated by Xiao Jin, and then, under Xiao Jin's control, the refined lightning power was carefully injected into Xiao Yan's body.
With the support of this powerful force, Xiao Yan's weakened aura quickly recovered. Although he could not yet fully control these external Dou Qi, it was more than enough to break through the five-star barrier in a short period of time.
With the support of this Dou Qi, Xiao Yan's furious heart finally calmed down.
Only then did Xiao Yan regain his senses, his forehead covered in sweat. When he recalled the crazy things he had just done, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and a sense of dread. Large beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
It's hard to imagine that if he really went that crazy, without Gu You and Xiao Jin by his side, his cultivation would stagnate after he regained his senses, and he would be stuck at the level of Four-Star Half-Emperor for the rest of his life.
"Hmph, brat, how many times have I told you that cultivation should be done step by step? But you insist on going against the grain. It's not like you're lucky today. This Lightning Pool alone would have been enough to kill you a million times over! How dare you be so audacious?"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was unharmed, Gu You couldn't help but reprimand him with a serious expression.
Xiao Yan chuckled awkwardly, raised his eyes, and met Gu You's serious gaze. He felt a slight chill run down his spine, gave an embarrassed smile, and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Gu You lightly pursed her lips and shook her head, too lazy to say anything more. Then, in a somewhat impatient tone, she said:
"Hurry up and refine the energy within your body. To be honest, if it weren't for this little guy, you might not even be able to preserve your strength, let alone break through to the Five-Star Half-Emperor level."
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan looked up at Xiao Jin, who was also looking down at him with a large dragon head. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan gently at Xiao Jin with gratitude in his eyes and said:
"Little guy, thanks to you!"
"Roar..."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Jin let out a low dragon roar like muffled thunder. Then, Xiao Yan didn't linger any longer, sat cross-legged, quickly adjusted his state, and after a moment, entered a state of cultivation again.
This time, Xiao Yan has absolute confidence that he will be able to break through to the Five-Star Half-Emperor!
As Xiao Yan's situation gradually stabilized, at that very moment, three figures tens of thousands of miles away suddenly narrowed their eyes and quickly turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan's location, their eyes filled with solemnity.
"That dragon's roar... is it the same one we sensed last time? If so, its growth rate is truly terrifying!"
Inside a grand hall, an elderly man in a golden robe gazed solemnly in the direction where Xiao Jin was. His murmurs were filled with astonishment at the so-called person.
The next moment, the old man suddenly turned around, strode to the front of the hall, put his hands behind his back, stared at the empty space in front of him, and said:
"Someone come here!"
As the old man finished speaking, the void to one side of him suddenly distorted, and a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared, bowing respectfully to the old man and saying:
"Chieftain, what are your orders?"
"Inform Long Lin to send him back to his clan. There's no need to search anymore. I will personally go to see that person."
The old man said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the golden pupils beneath the lamp's robe. Who on earth was this person who could command such attention from their clan leader, to the point that he had to personally go to see him?
Although he was curious, the man in black robes didn't ask any further questions. He nodded and, carrying his doubts, slowly disappeared from the old man's sight.
