The explosion erupted, a blinding flash of light and a deafening roar.
The barrier shuddered violently, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface.
Wang Xiao's muscles strained, his mind focused solely on containing the catastrophic energy.
For a second, it seemed the barrier would fail, but then Wang Xiao opened a small hole in the barrier himself.
Whooooosh!
In the next moment, all the energy gushed out of that small hole like a laser beam, reaching unbearable temperatures.
The intense heat caused the ice beneath the surface to melt and scorch, the radiation emitted by the concentrated energy beam scorching everything in its path.
The shockwave rippled out around it, making the air tremble and the ground crack.
Wang Xiao barely managed to hold his ground against the massive force of the blast.
