However, this speed was extremely slow, like unraveling silk thread.

A severed limb smashed down, pushing Li Hao's body into the Blood Lake. He no longer struggled but instead sat cross-legged in the Blood Lake, concentrating wholeheartedly on refining and absorbing.

The body gradually wore down, shrinking smaller and smaller.

Above the desolate sea, a figure appeared as if by instant teleportation, then abruptly vanished.
When he next reappeared, he was standing suspended above the barren abyss.
