Chapter 532: Chapter 339: Extreme Cold, Global Freeze, Let’s All Hole Up for the Winter
Luo Feifei retreated in a flash. She swept the White Tiger Sword horizontally, its Sword Qi briefly tearing open the turbulent space. At the same instant, her Electric Light Illusion Armor activated to protect her, buying a precious moment to escape.
From the base of the altar, a ten-meter-tall magma giant slowly rose, its eyes as incandescent as a furnace. Liquid fire patterns flowed across its body, each step branding a boiling footprint onto the stone floor. A toxic, sulfuric mist puffed between its fangs. "Blood of the Otherworld... A perfect vessel!"
Its voice was the grating sound of scorching metal on metal, enough to make one’s skin crawl.
Luo Feifei, who had overcome countless hardships to reach this place, sneered. "You think you’re worthy?"
The Abyssal Sea Royal Seal above her head erupted in an immense blue radiance. Simultaneously, she unleashed the "Slow" Superpower within her.
The Magma Giant Fist the giant threw suddenly froze in place. A strange Force Field had manifested in a hundred-meter radius, making the air as thick as glue. The giant’s movements slowed by more than tenfold. Its massive, raised palm hung in mid-air, the magma dripping from it so slowly that each drop was clearly visible.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Luo Feifei shot forward like a bolt of blue lightning. Her White Tiger Sword split into dozens of phantom blades in mid-air, each one striking precisely at the Elemental Nodes in the giant’s joints.
Frost spread from the impacts. With a series of sharp hisses, the crimson Crystal Core in the giant’s elbow shattered, and its magma body cracked like porcelain.
The giant roared, spewing a rain of fire that threatened to incinerate the sky. But Luo Feifei had already teleported to its shoulder, an Ice Lotus blooming beneath her feet to negate the soul-searing heat.
"Sharpness·Po Jun!"
The sword’s edge suddenly erupted with a thirty-foot-long blade of cold light, slicing through the giant’s spine as if it were paper. Seven Fire Crystal Cores burst in succession, and its magma body began to collapse. The giant frantically pounded its chest, attempting to move its main core to its brow, only to see a cunning glint in the young woman’s eyes—
’This is the moment I was waiting for!’
Her Electric Light Illusion Armor erupted in a thunderous explosion, and Luo Feifei became a streak of light, piercing straight toward the giant’s crown. Empowered by a Critical Strike, her White Tiger Sword whipped up a tornado of frost. The moment its tip pierced the giant’s brow, Extreme Cold Energy surged wildly through the veins of liquid fire.
CRACK!
The magma giant, its expression of shock and anger frozen on its face, crashed to its knees. Its ten-meter body froze solid, inch by inch, turning into a bluish-black statue. Luo Feifei flipped in mid-air and landed, lightly tapping the statue’s crown with her sword. With a great CRASH, the entire form shattered into a floor covered in Crystal Stones.
She dropped to one knee, gasping for breath, her White Tiger Sword plunged into the rock to support her. The intense heat evaporated her sweat before the beads could even fall.
"Cough..."
Swallowing the coppery taste of blood in her throat, she tossed three Ice Soul Spirit Fruits into her mouth. A Frenzy of Medicinal Power coursed through her. In the aftermath of the difficult battle, eighteen vortexes of Spiritual Power had spontaneously formed an array, voraciously devouring the dense Extraordinary Particles in the air.
After briefly regulating her breathing, she resolutely began to climb the altar steps. With each step she took, the chill intensified.
By the time she finally reached the top, her eyelashes were caked with frost. The Nine Nether Ice Soul, suspended in the center of the altar, radiated a deep blue light. Just being near it caused the Spiritual Power in her body to boil.
’Now!’ Luo Feifei didn’t hesitate. She reached out, grabbed the Ice Soul, and pressed it into her brow. Extreme Cold Energy instantly swept through her body. The eighteen vortexes of Spiritual Power spun frantically, finally converging at her core to form a Liquid Spirit Pool.
A blizzard raged within the world of the Tower of Skeletons, temporarily suppressing the Fire Element Law. Within her Spirit Pool, a new Inscription materialized: "Space-Time Anchor."
’Brother Xiang... wait for me.’ The new Inscription on Luo Feifei’s fingertip flickered. She gazed into the void, searching for a target to test her new power.
This "Space-Time Anchor" could briefly freeze a localized area of space-time or mark coordinates for teleportation.
She began searching for the spatial rift she’d encountered earlier. If she found one, the "Space-Time Anchor" could stabilize it long enough for her to pass through.
She could also mark the coordinates on both sides of a rift. If she recorded enough coordinates in the "Space-Time Anchor," she could even create a Star Map.
It was an incredibly powerful ability.
’Unfortunately, I didn’t have this Superpower when I came from Earth, so I couldn’t mark the coordinates,’ Luo Feifei sighed.
’Am I going to be trapped here forever?’
There were powerful Molten Core Giant Lizards outside. Even though Luo Feifei had now reached the Saint Tier, she didn’t dare venture out recklessly.
Since she was stuck here, she decided to make the best of it. Her Space Gem Ring still held plenty of food, water, and Spiritual Medicine. Besides, the Extraordinary Particles in this world were incredibly dense. As a Saint Tier practitioner, she could survive without eating or drinking anyway. So, she calmed her mind and began her Cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, a purplish-black rift, identical to the one she’d seen before, suddenly appeared about thirty kilometers from the altar. She could move at Mach 10, but by the time she arrived, the spatial rift had already collapsed.
There was nothing she could do; it was all down to luck. Fortunately, this region of space seemed quite unstable, so more rifts were likely to appear.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before another rift appeared.
This one was much closer. Luo Feifei flickered out of sight and reappeared beside the rift. She cast "Space-Time Anchor" to stabilize it, but her "Divination" Inscription began to pulse frantically, warning her that the other side was extremely dangerous and that she must not enter.
The danger level was even higher than when she had first crossed over from Earth into this small world.
Resigned, Luo Feifei had no choice but to abandon the attempt.
She was bold and decisive, but she wasn’t reckless. She would never attempt something she had absolutely no confidence in succeeding.
Her "Divination" Inscription helped her seek fortune and avoid calamity.
Luo Feifei decided to treat this time as a period of closed-door cultivation. She returned to the altar to consolidate her new Saint Tier Realm. About seven days later, another spatial rift finally appeared.
This time, Luo Feifei managed to anchor it just in time. The Divination Inscription indicated that the other side was relatively safe. With a flash, she shot through the Space Passage.
