As soon as the Jin Li appeared, all the ocean behemoths bowed their enormous bodies as if to welcome the arrival of their new king.
But at this moment, the sky full of thunderclouds also became thoroughly enraged. Countless bolts of lightning converged at a single point, forming a gigantic beam of lightning so intense that it was impossible to look at directly, striking directly at the Jin Li.
Without any command, these ocean behemoths leapt up one after another, beginning to use their vast bodies to contend with the lightning, escorting the Jin Li as it ascended upward.
However, the might of this lightning was so formidable that often before the behemoths could even approach it, they were directly reduced to nothingness.
Even so, these behemoths showed not a hint of cowardice or retreat, facing the heavenly punishment with a moth-to-the-flame determination!
But no matter how fearlessly these behemoths faced death, their numbers were ultimately limited.
When the Jin Li had reached halfway up the beam of light, there were hardly any behemoths left.
At that moment, a strikingly pure white intense lightning bolt thundered down, heading straight for these ocean behemoths.
As if sensing the tragic fate that lay ahead, these behemoths, which had never before spoken in the face of death, let out a mournful cry.
The sound was deep, like an accusation against an unjust fate.
But just then, Xue An, who had been standing by with a cold gaze, spoke indifferently, "To seek the continuation of the Fire Seed, even if it means turning into nothingness, it is still worth the sacrifice! You creatures are truly admirable!"
With that, Xue An’s figure flashed, and he disappeared from his spot in an instant, reappearing in front of the group of ocean behemoths, facing the descending lightning head-on.
"My Lord!" Chu Xiaoyun cried out in alarm.
She had never expected Xue An to intervene at this critical moment.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he be watching silently from the side, waiting for these behemoths to be nearly wiped out before reaping the rewards?
And that was the lightning of heavenly punishment!
Not just Chu Xiaoyun, everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded.
Then, a glimmer of schadenfreude flashed in the depths of many people’s eyes.
He’s dead! Dead! Finally, that Divine Rune will be ours!
But before these people’s smug calculations could even begin, they saw Xue An reach out his hand, his slender and elegant fingers suddenly grabbed at the intense lightning, and he firmly caught it in the palm of his hand.
Amidst an electrifying buzzing that made everyone’s scalp tingle, a ball of lightning struggled and twisted in Xue An’s palm, trying to break free from his grip.
But Xue An’s palm was like a cage, no matter how much the lightning thrashed about, it could not escape by even the slightest.
"Holding... holding lightning in his hand?" Amidst everyone’s astonishment, someone blurted out in disbelief.
Xue An looked at the light in his hand, the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a faint smile.
Yet that slight smile, in the illumination of the lightning, seemed incredibly distant.
"To suppress this place to such an extent that you would not hesitate to use a higher-level Divine Status as the Formation’s core, you really have gone to great lengths!" he said.
With that, Xue An clenched his hand suddenly.
Crackle.
After a subtle sound.
The ball of lightning was crushed by Xue An’s hand, turning into a wisp of white smoke, and vanished without a trace.
The entire place fell silent.
These ocean behemoths looked at Xue An with grateful eyes, as if they had human intelligence.
And the Jin Li within the beam of light swam upward joyfully and quickly.
But the thunderclouds in the sky still refused to disperse, and once again began to whirl and condense, preparing for the next heavenly punishment.
Xue An glanced at the group of behemoths and smiled faintly, "Well then, I shall give you all a hand!"
With that, he took a step forward, directly arriving in front of the thunderclouds filling the sky.
Xue An was surrounded by countless thunder snakes dancing wildly.
