"Pat."

Raindrops fell onto the twisted deadwood, immediately making a "hissing" sound and corroding small pits.

"Use all your defensive skills!" Mingxi made simple hand gestures.

When encountering Yin-Thunder Acid Rain, there was no other way but to leave the thunder and rain zone as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the coverage area of Yin-Thunder Acid Rain was usually not very large.

"Golden Yuanbao, ascend and observe which direction will get us out of the rain zone the fastest!"

"Abyssal Power."

Golden Yuanbao took the order, and with the dual assistance of Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green, and even using the Vacuum Domain, it resisted the increasingly heavy acid rain and the uncomfortable Yin-Thunder fluctuations, soaring into the sky like a steadfast black-gold Thunderbolt in the thick thunderclouds.

Chasing Wind, Thunderbolt, and other acceleration skills were all used by it.

It seemed only a blink of an eye, and Golden Yuanbao had already determined the best direction to escape.

Mingxi, who was connected with Golden Yuanbao, immediately directed the seven treasures to move in that direction.

"Full speed ahead!"

With all eighteen martial arts on display, Mingxi and the eight treasures put in their utmost effort to travel, using various defensive and auxiliary skills, and various defensive items in rotation to protect everyone.

"Rumble!"

"Whoosh!"

Even without hearing any sound, Mingxi could still feel the world-destroying momentum.

However, just as they were about to pass through the thunder and rain zone, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

A gigantic Yin-Thunder, several times thicker than the others and almost black in color, seemed to have locked onto them, the intruders, and like a venomous dragon, it suddenly struck down from the clouds, heading straight for Mingxi's head!

Its speed was so fast and its angle so tricky that Mingxi and the eight treasures were caught off guard!

"Luo!"

"Rift!"

"..."

Several cries of alarm, their hearts clenching, as they simultaneously released skills to try and save Mingxi.

Mingxi naturally also felt the fatal threat.

She burst out with all her strength, wanting to dodge.

But this Yin-Thunder was truly mysterious; not only was its speed incredibly fast, but it could also change direction freely.

It was as if a GPS was installed on her.

Seeing the 'safe zone' within reach, Mingxi wished she had a few more legs. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yin-Thunder was not like acid rain; Akatama and their skills could still block that.

Yin-Thunder combined the illusory and the real; apart from rule-based skills, any defensive skill was useless in front of it.

"Boom-crack---!!!"

That terrifying dark Yin-Thunder ultimately did not give her a chance to escape, crashing down in horror.

But it landed squarely on Golden Yuanbao's body!

In the nick of time, Golden Yuanbao completely enveloped Mingxi with its body, taking the fatal strike of this Yin-Thunder for her.

"Golden Yuanbao!"

"Abyssal Power!"

Intertwined with Mingxi's muffled cry, Golden Yuanbao let out an agonizing shriek of extreme pain.

Even without sound, the intense mental fluctuations made Mingxi and Little Silver Flower feel as if they could empathize.

Its body collapsed weakly, but it stubbornly pushed her, who was in its embrace, out of the thunder and rain zone.

It fell ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) onto the already corroded ground.

Destructive dark thunder light coiled around its body, sizzling and constantly eroding its wings, flesh, and even its soul.

Its hard, sword-like wings turned scorched black and cracked at a visible speed.

The acid rain also took advantage of the weakness, frantically corroding its wounds, bringing excruciating pain.

Little Silver Flower reacted extremely quickly, immediately preparing to release a healing skill.

But just then, Golden Yuanbao, who had heavily fallen to the ground, was emitting black smoke all over, struggling in pain, yet it suddenly lifted its head, and in its blood-red eyes, which had been somewhat unfocused due to the pain, a hint of joy actually flowed.

And there was an unprecedented glow, mixed with extreme pain and a frantic determination!

Through their bond, it transmitted a fragmented but incredibly firm thought to Mingxi.

It did not need healing.

Because in this Yin-Thunder, it not only felt death but also a completely unfamiliar energy.

It had a premonition that this Yin-Thunder was not just a crisis; it was very likely its opportunity as well.

"...I...want to absorb the Yin-Thunder!"

Mingxi instantly understood Golden Yuanbao's intention!

It actually wanted to use this terrifying Yin-Thunder Acid Rain to temper itself and gain this almost unsolvable power.

Too crazy!

It was no longer a question of risk or no risk.

It was practically wishful thinking, a ninety-nine percent chance of death.

But looking at Golden Yuanbao's firm and resolute eyes, and feeling the strange turmoil in its body's energy stimulated by the Yin-Thunder.

Mingxi gritted her teeth.

She believed in her partner!

Just as Golden Yuanbao always believed in her!

"Okay!"

Mingxi suppressed the worry in her heart, her eyes also becoming incredibly firm.

She stood an arm's length away from the gloomy, decaying thunder and rain zone, watching Golden Yuanbao struggling and rolling in the acid rain, her fingers deeply dug into her palms without feeling anything.

And at this moment, Golden Yuanbao's "self-abuse" had just begun!

Not only did it not dispel the Yin-Thunder on its body, but it actively let go of its defenses, frantically circulating the lightning power within its body, actively absorbing the continuously striking Yin-Thunder around it like a whale swallowing.

Not only that, but it even actively directed the acid rain to its most severely cracked areas!

"Roar-ao-ao---!!!"

The silent roars of pain shook the hearts of Mingxi and the seven treasures, yet they could only be bystanders, calmly watching.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Whoosh..."

The dark Yin-Thunder and the heavy raindrops fell ostentatiously in the silent world.

At this point, Golden Yuanbao's body was already riddled with holes.

It was as if billions of poisonous needles had pierced its limbs and bones, frantically destroying its meridians, bones, and internal organs!

And like a maggot in the bone, it continuously corroded its wounds, bringing prolonged and persistent excruciating pain!

Golden Yuanbao's massive body twitched violently, and a large amount of feathers fell from its body and wings.

Some areas even exposed stark white bones and charred internal organs!

Its aura was rapidly weakening, like a candle in the wind, its life force possibly extinguishing at any moment!

Pain! It was too painful!

It was practically a torture like slow slicing!

Mingxi watched with a twisted heart, but she bit her teeth tightly, not allowing her emotions to fluctuate.

She had to believe in it.

Little Silver Flower tried to release healing skills several times, but Mingxi forcibly stopped her.

Healing now would only make all of Golden Yuanbao's efforts go to waste!

Just as Golden Yuanbao was on the verge of complete collapse, its consciousness about to sink.

"Crack!"

It sounded like chains breaking.

The Demon-type power within its body, which had been forcibly sealed by invisible genes, was finally stimulated by the extreme pain and destruction, completely activating!

A dark red energy, full of unruliness and predatory aura, surged out, not only not resisting the Yin-Thunder but instead, it enveloped the power of the Yin-Thunder, beginning to forcibly repair and transform the damaged tissues.

In fact, Demon-type energy was inherently skilled at drawing power from destruction!

At the same time, its lightning core also began to undergo an anomaly under the continuous Impact of the Yin-Thunder!

The originally purple-gold lightning gradually became tinged with a dark, profound hue, becoming more condensed, violent, and carrying a hint of the Yin-Thunder's strange characteristics.
