First-line
Ink-black arms, like a forest, carried a chilling aura that could annihilate the soul, brazenly grasped from the boiling lake! That immense malicious will, like a physical shackle, instantly imprisoned the space around Yinglong, making even her movement incredibly difficult!
A line between life and death!
Yinglong's pupils suddenly constricted, and her remaining divine power instinctively erupted, a crimson light flickering like a dying candle as she tried to resist. But she knew full well that in her current state, she would never be able to contend with the terrifying existence bred by the lake itself!
At this critical moment——
“Buzz——!!!”
A force far more powerful, cold, and majestic than at any time before suddenly burst out from her sleeves!
It’s the dark blue core!
It was no longer silent, no longer merely transmitting energy! Under the stimulation of that extreme crisis, it seemed to have completely awakened!
A dark blue light shot up into the sky, no longer restrained, but with a commanding brilliance that instantly dispelled the surrounding sticky darkness! Within the light, the black lines of annihilation no longer flowed meekly, but roared and swirled like ancient black dragons coming to life, emitting an aura of doom that made the entire black lake tremble!
A clear, cold thought devoid of any emotion, like a declaration of law, resounded in Yinglong's heart and seemed to echo over the lake:
【roll. 】
Once a word is spoken, the law will follow!
The countless grasping black arms, the moment they came into contact with the dark blue light and the aura of annihilation, seemed to have met their nemesis. With a sharp "hissing" sound, they melted and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye! They turned back into black liquid and fell back into the lake, stirring up even greater "waves"!
The huge malicious will of the entire lake let out a howl of shock and anger, as if it had suffered some kind of trauma, and the power that confined the space loosened for a moment!
Now is the time!
Yinglong didn't hesitate at all. He used all his strength and turned his body into a flash of lightning. Taking advantage of this brief gap, he suddenly rushed to the pale island in the middle of the lake!
The moment her feet touched the ground, she almost fainted. She staggered a few steps before steadying herself and looking back.
The black lake surged wildly like an enraged beast, its waves surging to the skies, yet seemed blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to even cross the shores of the isolated island. A vast malevolent force lingered and roared beyond the island, filled with resentment and fear, yet ultimately dared not cross the line.
The island was completely silent, with only the pale, rough-hewn ancient temple standing silently before her, its open door a silent invitation.
The crisis has been resolved temporarily.
Yinglong gasped violently, her heart still filled with fear. At that moment, she had truly felt the touch of death.
After unleashing that earth-shattering blow, the core within the sleeve quickly retreated inward, returning to silence. However, its pulsation seemed to grow deeper and more powerful, as if the previous rebuke had drained much of its energy, yet also provided a crucial outlet and affirmation.
It... already possesses enough power to shock this dangerous and dark place.
Yinglong gathered his composure and cast his gaze upon the ancient temple before him. The temple had seen countless years, its stonework pale and devoid of any decoration. Instead, it felt overwhelmingly heavy and desolate.
She could feel that the source of the intense desire at the core of her sleeve lay deep within this ancient temple.
After regulating his breath and suppressing his surging blood and energy, Yinglong took a step and stepped into the ancient temple.
The hall was empty, devoid of any superfluous furnishings. Only in the center of the hall, something quietly hovered.
That is a drop of water.
A drop of water, roughly the size of a fist, took on a chaotic hue. It seemed as if countless tiny nebulae were surging and flowing within it. Sometimes it was crystal clear, sometimes turbid, emitting an ancient and majestic aura that spoke of the origin of all things and could return to nothingness.
"Is this... the primordial water?" Yinglong took a breath, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
The primordial water, said to have existed at the beginning of the universe, giving birth to all other waters! It had long since dissipated over the course of countless ages. How could even a single drop of it still exist? And in the depths of this Netherworld?
Just as she was shocked, the core in her sleeve emitted an unprecedented, violent fluctuation! It was an almost insane desire and excitement!
Without any guidance, Ying Longfu understood in his heart what this drop of primordial water meant to him, who was the supreme of the aquatic race and had integrated the essence of Ao Guang's dragon soul!
This is a unique opportunity that is enough to allow it to be reborn and lay a supreme foundation!
She no longer hesitated, took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and with her meager divine power, carefully lifted it towards the suspended drop of primordial water.
As if sensing the breath of the same origin, the drop of primordial water trembled slightly, but did not resist and slowly flew towards her.
However, just before the primordial water was about to fall into her palm—
Mutation regeneration!
A ray of golden light, without any warning, tore through the lead-gray sky outside the ancient temple. Like a sword of heavenly punishment, it carried with it magnificent divine power and icy murderous intent, slashing down towards the ancient temple, towards Yinglong, and the drop of primordial water in front of her!
"Yinglong! Hand over the remains of the rebels and the Chaos Source Water!"
The prince's roar, filled with determination and complete impatience, came like thunder!
He finally found this place! And his timing was so perfect!
In front of him was the rare opportunity of the primordial water, and behind him was the fatal blow from the prince with the power of heaven!
A dilemma! A life-or-death moment!
