Chapter 696: He Succeeded

In his perception, that power seemed like a fierce dragon, raging wildly within his body. But Li An felt no fear; he used his willpower to wrap around that dragon, attempting to tame it.

After a period of arduous effort, Li An finally sensed a change in that power. It began to gradually calm down, no longer raging wildly. Li An knew he had succeeded.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He felt the power in his body had achieved a qualitative leap, and an unprecedented sense of strength surged in his heart.

"Li An, are you alright?" Guo Yao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, her eyes full of concern and worry.

Li An smiled slightly, gently patted Guo Yao's shoulder, and said, "I am fine; I have already tamed this power."

Hearing this, Guo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then a look of admiration appeared on her face. She hugged Li An tightly, as if trying to merge him into her own body.

Feeling Guo Yao's body heat and breath, a warm current surged in Li An's heart. He knew that no matter how great the difficulties, as long as Guo Yao was by his side, he would fear nothing.

However, just then, the Void Altar suddenly flickered with eerie light. That light carried an ominous aura, as if foretelling new danger was about to arrive.

Li An and Guo Yao's gazes simultaneously fell upon the altar. They saw that the light grew brighter and brighter, finally transforming into a dazzling pillar of light shooting straight into the clouds.

"What is going on?" Guo Yao asked, filled with shock and uncertainty.

Li An frowned tightly; he sensed the terrifying power contained within that light. He knew deeply that this power was far beyond what they could easily handle.

"It seems we have new trouble again," Li An said in a deep voice.

Just then, a crisp and melodious voice suddenly came from within the pillar of light. That voice seemed to carry a certain magic, making one involuntarily want to approach.

"Li An, is that you?" the voice asked with a hint of curiosity and surprise.

Hearing this, Li An was stunned; he listened carefully to the voice but discovered it actually came from the Void Core!

"Lilith?" Li An asked tentatively.

"It is me, Li An. I have finally found you." Lilith's voice carried a hint of excitement.

Li An's heart stirred; he did not expect Lilith to appear at this moment. But thinking again, this might be an opportunity for them to deal with the new danger.

"Lilith, can you tell me what is happening?" Li An asked.

Lilith's voice echoed in the void, carrying a hint of mystery and depth: "Li An, the power of the Void Core is not so simple. It is both the source of power and the root of disaster. You have just tamed its power, but you have not yet truly mastered its essence."

"Essence?" Li An asked, puzzled.

"That is right. The essence of the Void Core is a bridge connecting different worlds. It is both the source of power and the focal point of conflicts between different worlds. The danger you just felt comes precisely from a powerful being from another world," Lilith explained.

Hearing this, Li An's heart tightened; he knew deeply that what he was about to face would be an unprecedented challenge. But he felt no fear; instead, it ignited the fighting spirit in his heart.

"Lilith, can you help me?" Li An asked.

A hint of laughter was in Lilith's voice: "Of course, Li An. But you must first accept my power to truly master the essence of the Void Core."
