Chapter 161 Wait, there seems to be something under the magma?
Su Qian took a deep breath of the scorching air, said nothing more, and strode to the huge energy shield. He stretched out his hands and slowly pressed his palms against the shield, which was covered in flowing runes. His powerful battle qi surged out and poured into the shield.
With a buzzing sound, the sturdy energy shield split open like a curtain, revealing a gap large enough for two people to pass side by side.
Huo Yuhao and Su Qian stepped into the energy shield side by side. Instantly, an extreme heat dozens of times hotter than the outside temperature rushed towards them!
Su Qian was prepared. With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful battle aura surged forth, forming a solid protective shield around him and keeping out the scorching heat waves.
In contrast, Huo Yuhao did not emit even a trace of Dou Qi. The violent heat wave that would make even an ordinary Dou Zong feel uncomfortable dissipated like snowflakes when it approached within a ten-meter radius of him.
"The Fallen Heart Flame is hidden at the bottom of this magma." Su Qian's voice rang out from inside the battle qi shield.
Rumble—!!!
At that moment, the dark red magma that had been flowing slowly below suddenly began to churn and roar violently without warning! An energy burst forth with a sense of rage and destruction, instantly filling the entire space shrouded in the light shield!
"puff--!!!"
A muffled, deafening roar erupted! The calm surface of the magma suddenly shattered! Towering waves of magma surged skyward, spraying like a torrential downpour!
At the heart of the fiery rain, a giant serpent of fire, several times thicker than the one Huo Yuhao had seen above, appeared before the two of them.
The giant python raised its ferocious head, locking onto them tightly, especially the blue-haired figure that it felt was a deadly threat! Its violent hiss silently reverberated throughout the space.
"hiss-!!!"
A sharp screech, powerful enough to shatter the soul, slammed down on Huo Yuhao like a massive sonic hammer!
Accompanying the sonic attack, the invisible fire python slammed its fist onto the magma. Instantly, its massive body, which was twenty or thirty feet long, unleashed astonishing speed, like a bolt of lightning, carrying scorching heat and violent energy, charging fiercely towards Huo Yuhao!
The naked, predatory desire it exuded was so palpable that even Su Qian, standing nearby, could sense it.
The Fallen Heart Flame clearly sensed the same entity within Huo Yuhao's body—the Nine-Fold Ice Flame!
Devour it! Absorb its power! As long as I can obtain this power, I will surely break through this damned seal and gain freedom! The Fallen Heart Flame roared incessantly, as if it could already see the day when it would leave the bottom of the tower and burn all the insects outside to ashes.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Huo Yuhao didn't even lift an eyelid.
"Hey——!"
A phoenix cry, carrying a chilling aura, suddenly rang out! A small ice flame phoenix shot out from Huo Yuhao's body! It swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a colossal creature no less powerful than the invisible fire python!
A hint of disdain flashed in the Ice Flame Phoenix's icy eyes. Facing the invisible fire python that was rushing towards it with great momentum, it simply waved its huge wings covered in ice flames!
boom!
An explosion rang out, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out, causing the magma below to cave in!
The invisible fire serpent's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Its massive body, as if struck by a giant hammer, let out a painful hiss. It was actually sent flying backward by the blow of that wing, crashing heavily into the churning lava, splashing a shower of fire!
"Chirp~"
The Ice Flame Phoenix hovered in mid-air, letting out a short but clear cry, its eyes revealing undisguised mockery.
Enraged, the invisible fire serpent struggled to raise its head from the magma. It suddenly opened its massive jaws, unleashing a terrifying suction force! The endless magma energy below surged into its body like rivers flowing into the sea!
Its body expanded again at a visible speed, and the high temperature it emitted caused the entire space to distort violently!
"Elder Huo!" Su Qian's expression turned grave, and he couldn't help but shout, "Aren't you going to make a move? With your strange fire alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough to completely subdue the Fallen Heart Flame! After all, this is its home ground, and the magma energy is inexhaustible!"
Huo Yuhao remained calm, as if he were enjoying a wonderful performance: "Don't worry, let it play a little longer."
Having absorbed the immense energy of the magma, the invisible fire grew nearly half again as large as before, and its aura became even more violent and ferocious!
It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, soaring into the sky from the magma once more, opening its massive jaws to bite down hard on the icy blue figure in the air!
A cold glint flashed in the Ice Flame Phoenix's eyes, and it fearlessly charged forward!
The two constantly collided, entangled, and annihilated each other. Ice flames and inner fire flew everywhere, scorching the space into a mess.
The Guardian Mirror watched with great interest: "Kid Huo, are you planning to let the chicks eat that giant snake down there as a snack?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "No, this Fallen Heart Flame is for someone else. Only the Nine-Fold Ice Flame can have a taste."
O
In the brief moment of their mental exchange, the battle situation outside had already become clear.
After all, the Ice Flame Phoenix was connected to Huo Yuhao's mind, and its spirituality and combat skills were far superior to those of the Fallen Heart Flame, which had been imprisoned for many years and acted only on instinct.
With a nimble dive, it dodged the fire python's bite, and its icy claws gripped the invisible fire python's neck! At the same time, the icy flames scattered on the fire python's body gnawed at it like maggots, frantically corroding and freezing its fiery form.
"Hiss—!!!" The invisible fire python let out a mournful and desperate cry, its huge body twisting and struggling wildly, but it was unable to break free from the sharp claws that contained extreme cold!
The Ice Flame Phoenix showed no mercy, its sharp beak pecking precisely, tearing large chunks of its inner fire essence from the fire python with each strike and swallowing them whole!
In just a few breaths, the once enormous, invisible fire python visibly shrank by nearly 20%! Its aura also weakened to the extreme!
"Alright, come back now," Huo Yuhao's calm voice rang out.
The Ice Flame Phoenix let out a slightly dissatisfied cry, indicating that it was not quite satisfied with the amount of dessert.
After taking one last peck, it released its grip, its body rapidly shrinking back to its original size. It flew back to Huo Yuhao's shoulder and nuzzled his face.
The severely damaged Fallen Heartflame had a chance to catch its breath, and a glimmer of hope appeared in its eyes. How could it dare to linger for even a moment?
It twisted its broken body violently and plunged headlong into the scalding magma world below!
As long as it gets to that place! As long as it can escape back into the depths of the magma and take advantage of its home ground, it still has a chance!
However, just as the thought arose and its body reached the edge of the lava lake, a whoosh!
A white radiance, seemingly capable of freezing time, spread out from Huo Yuhao's center without warning! Wherever the white light passed, the boiling magma instantly solidified into rock.
Upon contact with the white light, the invisible fire serpent's massive body suddenly froze in mid-air! A layer of crystal-clear ice covered its surface at a visible speed!
In an instant, a lifelike, enormous ice sculpture of a fire python, still in a terrified fleeing posture, was frozen in this instantly frozen magma space!
Just as Su Qian was shocked that Huo Yuhao could instantly freeze the strange fire, the slightly puzzled voice of the Guardian Mirror suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Huh? Wait a minute—Huo kid! There seems to be something under this magma?"
