The scene before him flashed, and Yang An was plunged into darkness.
He had been on guard, but the old monster's speed was far beyond his expectations. He couldn't react at all.
If the old monster had intended to devour him, he would have been utterly powerless to resist.
'Power! I need more power!'
The urgency in Yang An's heart grew stronger.
In the pitch-black darkness, a dim, crimson flame flickered to life on Yang An's body. With practiced ease, he activated the Lighting Technique.
As the flame appeared, the surrounding darkness receded like a tide. Layer upon layer of transparent, glass-like barriers materialized, and patches of light, as if seared by fire, appeared on their surfaces before finally coalescing into text.
It was the first part of the Cultivation Technique, *Mystic Path Decoded*.
Yang An glanced around. Nothing had changed since the last time he was here.
On another side, he also saw the *Extreme Day Divine Aspect* and the *Summoning Incantation*.
