Chapter 3014: A Clash Between the Powerful
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor traversed through the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood like she was on flat ground, covering a tremendous distance with each step. In a flash, she arrived before the Rain Abbess.
Powerful energy poured out of the Rain Abbess like a tsunami, wreaking havoc in the formation with devastating power.
On top of that, strands of extremely powerful Laws of Ice appeared in the space within the formation. Wherever they reached, the space froze, and the dark clouds turned to ice. Even the bolt of lightning that swept through the clouds seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.
In short, the entire formation was divided into two regions of black and white with the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s entry.
The black region was obviously under the Rain Abbess’ control.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor had forcefully converted the white region, turning it into her own battlefield and territory through her ability to alter the world around her.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor had not even truly done anything, and the formation already suffered. The operation of the formation was affected too, which only demonstrated just how powerful the Icecloud Founding Ancestor was.
“Icecloud Founding Ancestor, I’ve long heard about your renown. Now that I’ve seen you for myself, you really do live up to your reputation. You really are someone who can contend against the Seventh Heavenly Layer.” The Rain Abbess was hidden within the clouds and rain. She seemed to have merged with the formation. Only a hazy and blurry figure was visible.
“Compared to me, you’re much more complicated!” the Icecloud Founding Ancestor said. She was revered as the strongest ancestor of the Snow sect, but she only seemed like a young lady in her twenties when it came to her appearance. She was alluring and utterly beautiful.
However, her alluring face was filled with extreme coldness.
“Rain Abbess, are you making an enemy out of my Snow sect with this?” The Icecloud Founding Ancestor continued. Her voice was filled with killing intent, which only demonstrated she was definitely a decisive, vicious woman.
“Make an enemy out of your Snow sect? I have no interest in that. I’ve come today to fight you,” said the Rain Abbess.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s eyes turned icy. She said coldly, “My Snow sect is currently under attack. If you choose to strike at a time like this, you’ll definitely become an enemy of my Snow sect, one we will never forgive.”
“One you’ll never forgive?” The Rain Abbess began laughing without the slightest concern. “Icecloud Founding Ancestor, you should say that once you formally reach the Seventh Heavenly Layer.” With that, the Rain Abbess struck decisively, using her techniques and immediately condensing countless droplets of rain from thin air. They enveloped the Icecloud Founding Ancestor with roaring power.
On the Rain Abbess’ snow-white nape underneath her clothes were three fish scales normally hidden from sight, which were golden, silver, and bronze in colour.
But now, only the silver and gold scale remained. The bronze scale had already vanished off to who knew where.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor also attacked. The Laws of Ice descended and instantly converted the surroundings into a world of snow, clashing violently with the Rain Abbess.
Their battle far surpassed the clash between ancestor Lan and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. After all, while the Icecloud Founding Ancestor was similar to them, also a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, she already possessed the ability to challenge those stronger than her. She could contend against the Seventh Heavenly Layer at the Sixth.
As for the Rain Abbess, she became powerful enough to send the Sixth Heavenly Layer Blue Sky Venerable fleeing in the past after the bronze scale vanished. At this moment, she was evenly-matched with the Icecloud Founding Ancestor in battle. She did not lose the upper hand at all.
The pulses of energy resulting from their battle even surpassed the Sixth Heavenly Layer and reached the Seventh!
The Sixth and Seventh Heavenly Layers only differed by a single level of cultivation, but it was a qualitative difference, as it was the difference between mid and late Grand Prime!
In the vast Saints’ World, once someone reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer and set foot in the realm of late Grand Prime, their identity, status, and influence would become worlds apart compared to before.
Rumble!
A startling explosion occurred on the Ice Pole Plane, not only shaking up the entire plane, but even making large swathes of space outside the Snow sect collapse. The devastating energy swept through the surroundings, making the entire Ice Pole Plane tremble and sway in space.
This was the phenomenon created by the Icecloud Founding Ancestor and the Rain Abbess’ clash. It was shocking and extremely terrifying.
Within the violent rumble, the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood that enveloped the Snow sect immediately shattered. As the shrouding clouds dispersed, they did not reveal the original surroundings, but a great space of darkness instead. It resembled the gaping mouth of a huge beast, enough to devour everything.
The Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor had already vanished. They had already left this region, entering a dangerous spatial crack and engaging in an intense battle.
It was even possible to vaguely make out the azure-blue Way of Rain clashing again and again with the snow-white Way of Ice through the black space above the Snow sect. The two powers wove together and erupted with terrifying pulses of energy that even frightened all the Grand Primes on the Ice Pole Plane.
“The Rain Abbess isn’t at the Fifth Heavenly Layer. S- she’s actually been hiding her strength the entire time. She reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer a long time ago…”
“Unbelievable. How unbelievable. How is the Rain Abbess so powerful? The strength she’s demonstrated has probably surpassed the Sixth Heavenly Layer already…”
“The Rain Abbess can actually match the Icecloud Founding Ancestor in battle. This is simply inconceivable…”
“D- don’t tell me that the lord of planet Wandou, the Blue Sky Venerable, was actually killed by the Rain Abbess? If that’s the case, the Rain Abbess is far too vicious. There didn’t seem to be any irreconcilable grievances between the Blue Sky Venerable and the Rain Abbess. It was a small dispute at most, yet exactly because of this trifle, she killed a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime…”
“That only goes to show the viciousness of the Rain Abbess far exceeds our imaginations. She’s a terrifying woman. We must never offend her…”
……
…
The battle between the Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor immediately shook up the entire Ice Pole Plane. The Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s strength did not surprise the peak experts, but the Rain Abbess strength had overturned everyone’s understanding.
The battle between ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor was nowhere near as intense as before either, as both of them had diverted a fraction of their attention to the battle between the Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. They both experienced inner turmoil.
In the territory of the Hefeng clan, the Empyrean Demon Cult busied about nervously. The grand elder ordered them to speed up with cleaning up the battlefield. As such, even the Infinite Primes who originally idled around took part in plundering the Hefeng clan too.
In that moment, the various goods, precious resources, and treasures of the Hefeng clan all fell into the hands of the Empyrean Demon Cult. The wealth they had accumulated over countless years was cleaned out.
“All disciples of the cult, return to the demonic castle immediately! Four generals, use a Space Severance Talisman! The Rain Abbess is skilled with the Laws of Space. Only the Space Severance Talisman prevents her from chasing us down,” said the grand elder, ordering them. He gathered the disciples of the cult as quickly as possible before using an extremely precious teleportation formation. As the great power surged out, the entire demonic castle vanished like it had evaporated into thin air, leaving no traces behind at all.
