A lingering echo from a single sentence resonated in the air, as a palm strike unexpectedly created a large hole in the once indestructible layer of snow. The snow ahead abruptly melted into a swirling mist, and soon after, a torrent of lava surged in, unstoppable and overwhelming!
The seventh rank supreme was caught off guard, completely unprepared, and before he even realized what was happening, the lava slammed down upon him, engulfing him entirely. He let out a scream, only to have his body swiftly decay within the molten flow.
This was truly a catastrophe of devastating proportions!
He hurriedly circulated his energy, trying to alleviate his injuries and counteract the external force, but it was all in vain at this point. His chilling screams echoed as the lava filled his mouth, and in an instant, a plume of smoke rose, completely evaporating him without a trace.
Everyone nearby, sensing the danger, had already fled far away, watching the terrifying scene in horror. Even though it was scorching hot, everyone felt cold as ice, as if trapped in an icy abyss.
"What... what is happening here..." one of the supremes cried out in despair as a seventh rank supreme was reduced to ashes in an instant. Could he escape this fate?!
I don’t have that kind of power, sob...
At that moment, the dark red hue overhead grew denser, and the breach widened gradually, with an endless flow of lava pouring in. The crowd had no means to resist and could only blindly hide, but the ground had swiftly transformed into a sea of lava.
And it was still expanding rapidly.
How long could they keep dodging? In the end, where could they escape to?!
Despair filled everyone's hearts.
The dark red above was clearly all lava. Looking up, the expanse of space overhead—thousands of feet in diameter—was filled with this dark red hue.
Where could they flee to?
They were beneath a thousand feet of snow!
"This... isn't this northwest? Isn't this a layer of snow?" a coalition supreme shouted in fear and indignation. "Where the hell did this lava come from? Isn’t this ridiculous?!"
"Hahaha..." A surviving supreme from the Li family laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his face. "Good! Good! The nine great clans, what a tremendous display of power! Surrounding the Li family, what overwhelming killing intent! Hahaha... but aren't we all going to die together? So what? What can you do? Hahahaha... how delightful!"
"You want to destroy my homeland! You want to cut off my descendants! Dying here today... is truly a fitting retribution!" he shouted loudly.
All the coalition experts glared at him with anger, but they could not refute his words.
After all, dying together was already a foregone conclusion; further debate was meaningless!
The dark red above grew more vibrant, indicating that the time left for the last barrier of snow was growing shorter, and it also meant everyone’s time to survive was becoming increasingly limited!
Yet everyone was utterly helpless!
Each person here was a top-tier expert, their resolve unwavering on ordinary days, and even if faced with blades and swords, they would not blink. But at this moment, under the threat of death drawing near, their spirits had already shattered, and the only hope in their hearts was for some miracle to occur, to stop this catastrophe of doom and save themselves from disaster.
Suddenly, the Li family supreme jumped up, laughing maniacally. "You bunch of losers, stop dreaming of miracles! The sooner you die, the sooner you can reincarnate! Isn't old me here with you? What if I go first? Let you all take advantage again!"
Then, gathering the last of his strength, he unleashed dozens of palm strikes in a row amidst his frenzied laughter. Crackling sounds echoed as the ground trembled violently...
The entire layer of snow above began to collapse under the pressure of this wave of palm energy, completely caving in. The magma, which had nowhere to vent, surged in instantly, flooding this area completely.
The laughter of the Li family supreme continued, even as the lava swallowed him whole. Yet, he stubbornly held on, tearing off his left hand with his right hand’s skeletal strength, laughing loudly, “Die! Die!”
