"Watch out!" Lilith exclaimed.

Li An suddenly opened his eyes and saw a huge energy wave crashing towards them. He took a deep breath, gathered the power of the Void Core in his hands, and rushed forward to meet it.

"Void Barrier!" Li An shouted, and a transparent barrier instantly formed in front of him, blocking the terrifying power outside.

However, that force was exceptionally strong, constantly impacting the void barrier. Li An felt an immense pressure, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Li An, hold on!" Lilith's voice rang in his heart, carrying a firm strength.

Li An gritted his teeth and continued to use his willpower to support the void barrier. He knew that he absolutely could not give up at this moment.

The night was as dark as ink, the stars hidden behind thick clouds, as if even heaven and earth held their breath, awaiting the impending storm. Above the void altar, a ghostly blue light flickered, like the eye of an abyss, peering into all the secrets of the world.

Li An stood at the edge of the altar, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if it could pierce through the void and look straight to the unknown end. Beside him, Guo Yao clenched her fists, her eyes filled with both worry and determination. She believed in Li An, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy about this sudden turn of events.

"Li An, do you really want to monopolize this power?" Renault's voice boomed in the night sky, deafening like thunder. His figure appeared opposite Li An like a ghost, his eyes bloodshot, filled with anger and resentment.

Li An frowned slightly. He didn't want to come to this point with Renault, but there was no turning back now. "Renault, you and I both know that the power of the Void Core is no joke; it concerns the safety of the entire world. I don't want to monopolize it, but rather to ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

"Hmph, high-sounding words!" Renault sneered, his figure blurring as he transformed into a streak of light, aiming straight for Li An's vitals. His speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive, leaving only afterimages in the air.

Li An remained motionless, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have anticipated Renault's attack, easily dodging it with a sidestep. Simultaneously, he raised his right hand, lightning crackling in his palm, and a thin arrow of lightning ripped through the night sky, striking Renault directly in the back.

Chapter 484 The real battle has just begun

"Bang!" Renault tumbled in the air and landed steadily, his expression slightly changed. He hadn't expected Li An's reaction to be so quick, and he certainly hadn't expected Li An's strength to have made such a qualitative leap in this short period of time.

"It seems I underestimated you." Renault licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, as if he had encountered a long-lost rival.

"Likewise." Li An smiled calmly, knowing full well that the real battle had only just begun.

Guo Yao watched with trepidation, gripping her longsword tightly, ready to join the battle at any moment. But she also knew that with her current strength, rashly joining would only be a burden to Li An. Therefore, she could only wait anxiously, hoping that Li An would be safe and sound.

Renault launched another attack, this time holding nothing back. With a wave of his hands, dark clouds instantly filled the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Thick bolts of lightning, like raging dragons, crashed down, attempting to completely engulf Li An.

Li An's expression was solemn; he knew that the power of this lightning was extraordinary. But he did not back down. Instead, he took a deep breath, and the power of his Void Core surged, forming a faint blue light shield that firmly protected him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Lightning relentlessly struck the shield, producing deafening roars. Each strike caused the shield to tremble slightly, as if it might shatter at any moment. But Li An stood firm as a rock, his eyes resolute and calm, as if waiting for something.

Finally, after the most intense bombardment, the shield suddenly shone brightly, engulfing all the remaining lightning. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li An leaped up and charged towards Renault like an arrow released from a bow.

"Renault, take this!" Li An roared, clasped his hands together, and the power of his Void Core surged wildly, transforming into a dazzling light that struck Renault directly.

Renault's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Li An to possess such a powerful attack. He hurriedly mobilized all his strength, attempting to block the blow. But unfortunately, the light was too intense, and he could only watch helplessly as he was struck.

"Bang!" Renault's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Li An landed not far from Renault, his gaze fixed on him coldly. He knew that although the attack had severely injured Renault, it wasn't fatal. Renault's strength was not to be underestimated; he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Asking for flowers

Renault struggled to his feet, blood trickling from his mouth, but his eyes grew even fiercer. "Lian, you've certainly gotten stronger. But don't think you can defeat me just like that!"

“Renault, stop. We used to be allies, and I don’t want to be your enemy.” Li An’s voice was tinged with weariness; he didn’t want things to come to this.

"Stop? Hmph, unless you hand over the power of the Void Core to me!" Renault roared, charging at Lian once more.

This time, the two engaged in close combat, each punch landing with tremendous force, every strike carrying astonishing power. The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Although Li An was powerful, Renault was no pushover either. The two exchanged blows, locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight. Guo Yao watched anxiously from the sidelines, wanting to rush forward to help several times, but was stopped each time by Li An's gaze.

"Li An, watch out!" Guo Yao suddenly shouted, seeing a sly glint in Renault's eyes.

Chapter 485 A Giant Rock

Sure enough, just as Li An was distracted, Renault suddenly used a treacherous move. He pretended to retreat, but secretly gathered his strength as he retreated, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Li An.

Although Li An reacted quickly, he was still a step too slow. He was struck hard in the chest by Renault's fist and flew backward, crashing into a boulder.

"Cough..." Li An lay on the ground, coughing violently, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

"Li An!" Guo Yao exclaimed in surprise. She could no longer care about anything else and rushed to Li An's side. She helped Li An up, her eyes filled with worry and anger.

"I'm fine..." Li An forced a smile, but his face was unusually pale.

"You still say you're fine! Look at yourself now!" Guo Yao's voice was trembling with tears as she glared angrily at Renault. "Renault, you've really gone too far!"

Renault looked at the two of them, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Hmph, is this what you call love? How laughable. Li An, you are doomed to defeat today!"

As he spoke, Renault charged at the two men again, his eyes filled with nothing but killing intent and madness.

Li An took a deep breath, enduring the pain in his chest. He knew that the situation left him no room for further reservations. Therefore, he mobilized the power of his Void Core, preparing for a final counterattack.

"Guo Yao, step back." Li An's voice was low and firm.

Although Guo Yao was worried, she understood that all she could do now was trust Li An. So she nodded and stepped aside.

Lian stood up, his eyes becoming unusually bright, as if he could see through all the illusions of the world. With a wave of his hands, countless tiny lightning arrows appeared in the void, shooting towards Renault like a dense rain.

Renault was shocked; he hadn't expected Lian to possess such a powerful attack. He hurriedly mustered all his strength to try and block the lightning arrows. But unfortunately, there were simply too many of them, and he couldn't block them all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The lightning arrows struck Reno's body repeatedly, producing a series of explosive sounds. Reno was forced back by the impacts, his face filled with terror and despair...

"No! This is impossible!" Renault roared, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

But Lian showed no sign of stopping his attack. He continued to control the lightning arrows, relentlessly bombarding Renault. Finally, after one of the most devastating strikes, Renault's body collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.

Looking at Renault lying on the ground, Li An felt a mix of emotions. He hadn't wanted things to come to this, but there was no turning back. He put away his lightning arrow and walked to Guo Yao's side.

"Let's go." Li An's voice was a little hoarse, and he felt an unprecedented fatigue.

Guo Yao nodded, and supporting Li An, the two walked together into the distance. Their figures gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only a chaotic battlefield and Renault lying on the ground.

However, just as they were about to disappear into the night, the Void Altar suddenly flickered with an eerie light once more. This light was even more dazzling than before, as if it were illuminating the entire night sky.

"Li An, look!" Guo Yao exclaimed, pointing towards the direction of the empty altar.

Chapter 486 Too Powerful

Li An looked up and saw a huge void rift slowly opening above the altar, as if it were about to devour everything. At the same time, a powerful suction force came from the rift, making both of them feel dizzy.

"Oh no, we have to get out of here right now!" Li An shouted, pulling Guo Yao along as they tried to escape the area.

Unfortunately, the suction force was too strong, and their feet were bound by invisible chains, making it impossible for them to move.

"Li An, what should we do?" Guo Yao's voice was tinged with fear.

Li An took a deep breath, looking towards the direction of the void rift, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Guo Yao, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

As he spoke, Li An mobilized the power of his Void Core to try and resist the suction force. However, the force was too powerful, and he was simply unable to withstand it.

Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them. This figure radiated a dazzling light, as if it were a deity descended from another world.

"Lilith?" Lian looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. He did not expect Lilith to appear at this time.

Lilith looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with worry. "Li An, Guo Yao, you two must leave quickly! This force is beyond your ability to withstand!"

“But…” Li An wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lilith.

"No buts! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!" Lilith said, waving her hands and a powerful energy wave enveloping the two of them before giving them a shove.

Propelled by this force, Li An and Guo Yao flew out like arrows, far away from the void altar. Lilith, however, remained in place, her figure gradually blurring in the light of the void rift.

“Lilith!” Lian shouted, but his voice was drowned out by the roaring sound coming from the void rift.

They found themselves in an unfamiliar forest, everything around them seeming strange and eerie. Li An looked at Guo Yao, his eyes filled with worry and gratitude.

"Thank you, Lilith," Lian whispered, though he knew Lilith might never hear him again.

In a state of chaos and nothingness, Lian and Renault stood within a mysterious space constructed from the power of a void altar. The surrounding air seemed to solidify, every inch of space filled with a dangerous aura, and various strange energy fluctuations surged in the shadows, like lurking beasts ready to devour their prey at any moment.

"Li An, today is your end!" Renault's voice echoed in the empty space, carrying an undeniable resolve. His eyes were bloodshot, as if burning with raging anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with hatred for Li An.

Li An stared coldly at Renault, his eyes calm as still water, yet concealing endless depth and resolve. "Renault, your ambition and greed will only lead you to destruction. Today, let's end it all together."

Before he finished speaking, Renault's figure shot towards Li An like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was so fast that it almost transcended the constraints of space, creating a powerful energy storm that seemed to want to completely engulf Li An.

Li An remained motionless, merely raising his hand slightly. A powerful force of void energy surged from his palm, transforming into an invisible barrier that easily blocked Renault's attack. The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar that trembled the entire space.

Chapter 487 is the controller of the Void Gate.

"Hmph, you think you can defeat me with this little strength? Li An, you're too naive." Renault sneered. He wasn't discouraged by the failure of his first attack; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit even more.

Li An smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Renault, you seem to have forgotten that this is a space constructed by the power of the Void Altar, and I am the controller of the Void Gate."

As he spoke, Li An's figure flickered, seemingly merging into the void, becoming ethereal and elusive. Renault's attack missed again, and he stared wide-eyed at the spot where Li An had vanished, his face filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! How could you possibly wield the power of the Void Gate!" Renault roared, his voice filled with resentment and anger.

However, Li An did not answer him. When he reappeared, he was already behind Renault. With a gentle wave of his hand, a void blade instantly condensed, carrying a chilling aura, and aimed straight for Renault's vitals.

Renault reacted with lightning speed, sidestepping and narrowly dodging Lian's fatal blow. But Lian's attacks were relentless, each move radiating a deadly threat.

"Li An, don't be too smug! Today, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!" Renault roared, no longer holding back, his entire body erupting with powerful energy fluctuations.

Renault's hands moved swiftly, forming intricate runes that swirled around him, creating an impenetrable shield. Then, he leaped forward like a raging beast, charging towards Lian.

Li An snorted coldly, showing no fear of Renault's attack, and instead met it head-on. The two figures clashed in mid-air, their fist winds, palm shadows, and energy fluctuations intertwining to create a breathtaking scene.

"Bang!" The two attacks collided again, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart, with cracks spreading in the air as if to devour the entire space.
