The nine fleshy growths trembled violently. Their translucent membranes became almost transparent in the light, revealing golden-red liquid churning within like boiling magma.
The next instant—
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Nine jets of golden-red liquid erupted from the growths at once!
Rather than shooting straight at Lin Wan, the liquid shot into the air thirty feet above and ahead of him.
The nine streams did not scatter in midair. Instead, as though drawn by an invisible force, they rapidly converged and fused, roiling and condensing until they formed a fist-sized orb that radiated terrifying heat and a dazzling golden-red glow.
The orb hovered in midair, slowly rotating. With every revolution, the heat waves it emitted intensified, scorching the surrounding air until it warped and twisted.
The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's Inner Core.
It was also the crystallized heart of all the supreme yang power it had accumulated over its lifetime.
Lin Wan's gaze suddenly sharpened.
This was the moment he had been waiting for!
Just as the golden-red orb took shape and was about to fall, Lin Wan spread the fingers of his right hand, aimed at the Inner Core, and clenched his hand from afar.
"Domain: Absolute Zero!"
Hum!
The ice-blue domain unfolded around Lin Wan for the third time. This time, however, it did not expand. Instead, it compressed to its limit, finally condensing into an ice-blue beam no thicker than an arm. It burst from his palm and struck the golden-red orb with unerring precision!
Hiss!
Extreme cold and supreme yang—two utterly opposing powers—clashed violently in midair.
A deep-blue shell of ice instantly formed over the golden-red orb. It rapidly spread and thickened, encasing the orb completely.
Within, the golden-red light flickered and struggled wildly, trying to shatter its frozen prison.
