Under the speed of God's Dominator, Zhang Tie's figure was like a nimble bolt of lightning threading through the underground passageways. In less than half a minute, he flew from the scorching lava cavern into the cold storage.
The cold storage was enormous. To be safe, Zhang Tie did not stop at its edge, but flew all the way to the central area, where the temperature was more stable, before coming to an abrupt halt. He then used God's Dominator to suspend the red-glowing segment of lotus root in midair, letting it undergo the baptism of the cold storage's bone-piercing chill.
As a Knight, Zhang Tie's resistance to cold had already been exceptionally powerful. Moreover, his cold resistance had been enhanced by the Fruit of Redemption, making him far stronger than ordinary Knights.
Heller had silently lowered the temperature in the cold storage to one hundred degrees below zero. A layer of icy mist had formed over the floor in the central area, rolling gently as it exuded a chill that seeped into the bones. At this temperature, Zhang Tie only needed to release a thin layer of protective Battle Qi to no longer feel the cold at all.
Zhang Tie widened his eyes as he watched the Blazing Red Lotus's lotus root hovering in the air.
Within the cold storage, the dazzling red glow radiating from the lotus root was slowly fading at a rate visible to the naked eye. At the same time, Zhang Tie could even sense the cold air in the storage gathering toward the lotus root in an eerie fashion.
It felt like throwing a completely dry sponge into water—the water would naturally be absorbed by the sponge. It was also like the energy black holes that had appeared in Zhang Tie's Sea of Consciousness
