Within the flames, Richard was not without advantages. His detection range was far wider.
Faintly, he sensed a cold power in the distance—deep within the abyss, yet still far from its bottom.
He believed it to be the Ice Ancestor.
Without hesitation, he dove downward.
However, as he descended further, he began to encounter resistance. A powerful upward force pushed against him, making it difficult to continue.
Even in void mode, the force could still reach him, which surprised him greatly, because if it were merely the power of an Ancient Sovereign, it wouldn't have been able to reach him at all.
This force was likely far stronger in the middle of the abyss, though he had no intention of going that far.
Before long, he saw a spherical ice barrier, perfectly enclosing both above and below.
It radiated an extremely cold aura, resisting the surrounding flames without melting.
