Although Ye Ningze could not ascertain how the bronze behemoth achieved this, it was certain that it employed the same method as the commander.
Upon witnessing this, the commander beast was utterly astonished.
After all, absorbing the power of demonic beasts was a unique technique of his master, yet Ye Ningze now possessed the same capability.
Furthermore, he could sense that the armor on Ye Ningze was exceptionally peculiar, giving him a feeling of familiarity mixed with extreme strangeness.
Thus, the commander beast addressed Ye Ningze, saying:
"Why is the armor on your body so strange? It resembles a demonic beast yet also an armor?"
In truth, Ye Ningze himself did not know what the armor on his body was, so he could not answer the question posed by the creature before him.
Ye Ningze could only slowly shake his head and then say to the creature before him:
"I don't know what this thing on me is either. But I do know that it can definitely deal with you."
As Ye Ningze finished speaking, the armor once again emitted a terrifying suction force, this time directly engulfing the commander beast.
Soon, the commander beast felt as if its body was being drained of its strength, rapidly withering away.
It wished to struggle, but there was no room for resistance, as the opponent held its power firmly in its grasp.
Who would have imagined that after absorbing the power of so many demonic beasts, it would end up like this? This was an unimaginable scenario for it.
But it was too late to say anything now, for it could feel not only the power of the surrounding demonic beasts but also its own power continuously flowing into Ye Ningze's body.
It was believed that in no time, Ye Ningze would become a true embodiment of power, and at that point, no one in this place would be Ye Ningze's match.
The commander beast still wanted to prevent Ye Ningze from gaining even greater power, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and everything around them seemed to blur.
The entire vast natural cave began to tremble violently, akin to an earthquake. The commander beast had never encountered such a situation.
It watched as both humans and demonic beasts swayed precariously, realizing that something below was awakening.
Meanwhile, Ye Ningze, suspended in mid-air, had entered a state of complete absorption. He floated in the air like a bright moon, and the special radiance from the surrounding demonic beasts continuously converged towards him.
Suddenly, Su Xue, on the ground, was pulled by someone beside her:
"Young Lady, this place is not safe. We should leave quickly."
However, Su Xue was unwilling to depart, as she could not abandon Ye Ningze, who was currently suspended in mid-air.
At this very moment, Ye Ningze, still suspended in mid-air, had completely transformed into a blazing sun, and the light emanating from him enveloped everyone around.
Finally, as this radiance enveloped everyone, they seemed to lose consciousness, leaving behind only a world of pure white.
When the light dissipated, everything returned to normal, except that Ye Ningze had vanished from his spot.
Upon regaining consciousness, Shu Xue saw demonic beasts and humans lying on the ground, but one person was missing.
That person was Ye Ningze. Ye Ningze's whereabouts caused Su Xue considerable worry.
She had no idea where Ye Ningze had gone, nor could he possibly abandon them and leave this place alone.
Therefore, this situation was telling. Su Xue began searching the entire natural cave for any trace of Ye Ningze, but ultimately found none.
Su Xue never found any trace of Ye Ningze, and where he had gone became a lingering question in everyone's minds.
What was most puzzling was the ground full of demonic beasts. The once ubiquitous demonic beasts had now vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
Everyone was like headless flies, unsure of what to do next.
Thus, all eyes turned to Su Xue, the only one who could make decisions.
Su Xue directly gave her answer:
"Wait for me. If Ye Ningze is not here, no one can guarantee what will happen next. No one knows."
After Su Xue said this, everyone present was slightly stunned. They knew in their hearts that Su Xue was correct.
But if they continued to wait like this, they didn't know what to do. However, Su Xue's attitude was firm, forbidding anyone from objecting.
In the end, everyone reluctantly agreed to Su Xue's request. Besides Su Xue, two other people would wait here for Ye Ningze's return, and they were Li Mingbo and Liu Qichao.
This was because, in the hearts of Li Mingbo and Liu Qichao, only Ye Ningze could lead them to the next stage. Apart from Ye Ningze, no one else could achieve this.
Therefore, if Ye Ningze did not appear, they would be unable to proceed with any further steps.
Liu Qichao looked at Li Mingbo and said with concern:
"Where do you think Mr. Ye Ningze has gone? Why can't we find any trace of him, and why would he abandon us and leave this place?"
Li Mingbo slowly shook his head. He did not believe that Ye Ningze would abandon them and leave this place alone. He could only say that Ye Ningze must have encountered a special situation, or something truly sudden had occurred, otherwise, he would never believe that Ye Ningze would abandon them.
After a long while, Li Mingbo replied to Liu Qichao:
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question: do you truly believe that Mr. Ye Ningze can lead us to a more glorious tomorrow?"
Liu Qichao nodded without hesitation, and then, in an irrefutable tone, said to Li Mingbo:
"I have never believed in anyone in my life. But when I met Mr. Ye Ningze, I knew that if there was anyone in this world who could bring about change, it would be him and no one else."
Li Mingbo had always been curious how someone like Liu Qichao could so easily trust another person and place everything in their hands.
