Sizzle— But just as Chu Feng looked up to observe, a bolt of red lightning appeared in the void above.
Once the first bolt appeared, a second quickly followed.
One after another, they came in an endless stream. Before long, the entire void was covered in red lightning.
Rumble— Thunder boomed in waves, and the red lightning had already blanketed the whole expanse of the void.
The lightning was blood-red in color. Though it differed from the magma ocean below, it looked even more terrifying. Moreover, the blood-red lightning radiated a power no weaker than the magma itself.
Right now, the blood-red lightning was slowly descending—and its speed of descent was even more frightening than the speed at which the magma was rising.
If the void had previously been a means of escape, then now… Chu Feng had nowhere to flee.
Roar— As a terrifying roar rang out, the black flames within Eggy's body erupted once more. While simultaneously holding back the magma, Eggy's black flames also surged toward the void, striving to resist the blood-red thunderbolts descending from above.
"Eggy, stop! Don't waste your energy!"
Chu Feng knew that what Eggy was doing was futile, yet the burden on her would be enormous, so he spoke up to dissuade her.
"Idiot, stop talking and find a way to escape. As for time—this queen will buy it for you."
With that, the feathers on Eggy's black dress whipped wildly, her long hair thrashed about, and the black flames surging from her body grew even more violent, as though they were boundless, pouring out from within her without end.
Most importantly, the black flames seemed to have undergone a qualitative transformation, becoming far more powerful.
Under these conditions, both the rising magma and the descending blood-red thunderbolts actually began to slow.
"Eggy, you…"
Chu Feng turned to look at Eggy and saw that even her exquisitely beautiful face was strained with exertion. The girl clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes squeezed shut.
She was using her strongest means to buy Chu Feng time.
Though he did not know what consequences this would bring for Eggy, Chu Feng knew that the price would be steep.
Under such circumstances, Chu Feng dropped all hesitation. He focused his mind, using his Celestial Eyes to scan his surroundings, searching for any flaw in the trap.
He could not afford to waste the time Eggy had bought for him.
"This hidden so thoroughly?"
After a careful search, Chu Feng felt both delighted and astonished.
He had finally found a way to break free. On the cliff face, there was a concealed formation gate. If he could enter it successfully, he would certainly be able to escape this predicament.
However, this formation gate was not merely in a hidden state—its surroundings were also lined with formation traps. To make it reveal itself, he would need to both dispel the concealment formation and avoid the formation traps, without the slightest margin for error.
The reason was simple: the power of those formation traps was even more terrifying than the magma below or the blood-red thunderbolts above. If even one was triggered, death was certain.
Though this was a terrifying challenge, Chu Feng had no other choice.
He first produced the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip, hoping to draw upon its power to aid himself. But to his dismay, the horsetail whip's power seemed to be sealed—there was absolutely no response.
In its current state, the Celestial Master's Horsetail Whip did not resemble a treasure at all. It was like an ordinary horsetail whip, unable to provide Chu Feng even a shred of assistance.
