Chapter 832: Stalemate
Himiko’s form began to expand rapidly, with divine light radiating from behind her head.
Strands of golden divine light converged into one, illuminating the world in every direction. Within the boundless radiance, an immense crimson sun slowly emerged. It was so vast it defied description.
As the red sun began its slow ascent, the divine kingdom was abruptly shrouded in darkness, as though an eclipse had struck. The light dimmed rapidly but surged once more, re-illuminating the world as if proclaiming that all light emanated from this divine source alone.
The towering Himiko, standing 30 meters tall, pressed down with one palm. Within the divine palm was only pure light, coalescing into true solar fire.
The descending palm moved not with speed, but with grandeur, accompanied by a sea of solar flames. It was as though the skies themselves were ablaze. The sight struck awe into the heart.
Faced with the oncoming palm, Madam Bai neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, she surged skyward, charging straight into it.
Compared to the colossal divine palm, Madam Bai seemed minuscule. Yet she was like a bullet fired from a gun, forcibly punching through the palm and leaving behind a massive hole.
Countless strands of solar fire spilled from the hole, cascading downward like a meteor firestorm from the gods.
Having passed through the palm, Madam Bai was engulfed in flames. However, she was unrelenting, charging through Himiko’s chest.
Yet there was no gruesome scene of chest-rending or heart-gouging. Himiko’s form remained completely intact; not even her robes were disturbed. However, her figure suddenly became far more ethereal.
At the level of a Pseudo-Immortal, making illusions seem real and overcoming illusions with substance was nothing unusual.
Though Madam Bai had pierced through Himiko, she herself had been tainted by too much solar fire. Thus, her original form was revealed. The human half of her body was completely gone, leaving only a transparent skeletal frame. When the residual fire finally faded, specks of scorch marks remained on her jade-like bones.
