However, just as the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire was secretly rejoicing over its escape and greedily absorbing the Fire Attribute energy within the magma to recover, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth suddenly began to churn violently!
The scorching magma seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, raising towering waves, while even the fire elements in the air became restless.
Its heart clenched, and it instinctively turned its attention upward. What it saw plunged it into an icy abyss—a gigantic battle qi palm that blotted out the sky was crashing down upon it with overwhelming might!
Faint icy-blue streams of light lingered around the palm's edges. Before the palm wind even arrived, that familiar, piercing chill had already frozen the surrounding magma, forming an invisible net of confinement.
The enormous palm came swiftly and fiercely, sealing off every possible route of retreat around it. There was nowhere to escape.
The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire's crimson origin light flickered violently. Clearly, it had not expected Xiao Ling to pursue it out of that space so quickly.
The icy-blue light around the giant palm's edge had frozen like frost. Before the palm had fully descended, its bone-chilling cold had already sealed the surrounding space. Even the boiling, surging magma had been frozen still, creating a domain of ice beneath the giant palm.
The crimson stream of light struggled frantically as its origin flame suddenly swelled, attempting to use the remaining Fire Attribute energy in the magma to break through the confinement. Yet the giant palm fell at a terrifying speed. Its palm wind was like a prison; the instant it touched the edge of the flame, it brutally pressed it down toward the layers of magma rock below.
"Buzz—" Icy blue and crimson light collided violently beneath the giant palm.
