Chapter 3022 – Icepeer’s Fate
When the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s voice rang out, ancestor Lan and He Qianchi were both taken by surprise. Thoughts flashed through their heads, still with some doubts.
By now, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor had already struck, unleashing the most intense attack at the Icepeer Founding Ancestor mercilessly. A frigid sword appeared in her hand, radiating with the might of a high quality god artifact. It directly swung towards the Icepeer Founding Ancestor with surging energy.
“Icecloud, do you really want to do this? Is it really worth it for you to do this?” the Icepeer Founding Ancestor said painfully. As she looked at the Icecloud Founding Ancestor in utter disappointment, she resembled a feeble woman who had her heart broken viciously by a heartless man. She was pitiful. However, the depths of her eyes hid hatred and an intense refusal to go down like this.
The Icepeer Founding Ancestor obviously would not simply stand by and let herself be captured. Her cultivation as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime erupted without holding back at all as she put up a desperate resistance against the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s attack.
A similar high quality god artifact sword appeared in her hand. As she swung the sword, the terrifying coldness even seemed to freeze space.
Clang!
The two frigid swords clashed. Amidst the great noise, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor immediately staggered backwards from the strike.
They were both at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, but their battle prowess was worlds apart.
Suddenly, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor vanished as if she had merged perfectly with the illusionary kingdom of snow. In the next moment, four colossal figures silently appeared in the drifting snow.
All four divine generals gave off the presence of Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. They all wielded spears that they directed at the Icepeer Founding Ancestor, launching startling attacks.
Immediately, a terrifying storm of energy swallowed the region. The Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s figure had completely vanished in it. There were only a few earth-shattering booms, and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor was launched out, covered in blood. She fell on the frozen ground in the distance in extremely horrible shape.
“Cough, cough.” The Icepeer Founding Ancestor constantly coughed up blood. Her face was sickly pale, revealing her feeble state. She was already heavily injured.
Her magnificent dress had already been dyed red by her blood, and there was a fist-sized hole through her chest. She was unable to block the attacks from the four divine generals as easily or as calmly as the Rain Abbess. Even with her full strength, she only managed to block three of them, and she ran out of strength when it came to the fourth. As a result, the attack pierced through her mercilessly.
After all, that was equivalent to being under the attack of four experts at the same cultivation. Without the ability to challenge those at higher cultivation realms, it was almost impossible for her to stand a chance when outnumbered one to four.
Standing in the drifting snow, the four hazy divine generals vanished, and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor appeared. She hovered a meter above the ground, staring at the Icepeer Founding Ancestor coldly. She said icily, “Icepeer, you’ve betrayed the teachings of the Snow sect and the Ice Goddess Hall. Do you know your crimes?”
Right now, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor truly resembled an undefeatable god of war. Despite also being at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, she had defeated the Icepeer Founding Ancestor almost effortlessly.
If it were not for the fact that she had encountered the Rain Abbess who was even more terrifying and even more powerful today, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor truly stood above everyone else, well beyond anyone’s reach, given her supreme strength.
Gazing at the heavily-injured and incapactitated Icepeer Founding Ancestor, all the members of the upper echelon of the Snow sect were filled with mixed feelings. Ancestor Lan, He Qianchi, and Hun Zang were all silent too.
As for Shui Yunlan who was under the torture of the Soul Devouring pill, ancestor Lan did everything she could to treat her.
With ancestor Lan’s acclaim in the Way of Alchemy and her supreme cultivation, nullifying the Soul Devouring pill Shui Yunlan had ingested was not too difficult.
The Icepeer Founding Ancestor gazed at the Rain Abbess who spectated quietly, as well as the experts of the Snow sect who had basically witnessed the entire sequence of events on the other side. She knew she did not have any more room to maneuver around in given how everything had turned out like this.
While not everyone knew about her actions, it was basically everyone.
Even if she ignored all the other factors, just the Rain Abbess alone made this true!
They could still restrain the people of the Snow sect, and they were also confident enough to prevent ancestor Lan and Hun Zang from leaving this place.
Only the Rain Abbess who was even more powerful than the Icecloud Founding Ancestor truly struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor had clearly exposed her before the Rain Abbess for the sake of the Ice Goddess Hall. She was willing to go as far as to punish her friend for the greater good.
The Icepeer Founding Ancestor smiled. Her smile was very tragic. “Icecloud, so much for treating you as the best sister I’ve ever had in my life. So much for treating you as my closest family. I never imagined that our sisterhood that’s lasted for several million years isn’t even as great as the Ice Goddess Hall who expelled you and made you suffer a century of torture back then.”
“So be it. It’s already happened. I’m not going to say anything more. Icecloud, how do you want to deal with me? You can just do it now.”
The Icepeer Founding Ancestor shut her eyes as if she had accepted her fate and was ready for anything. She knew she was no longer capable of escaping in this Supreme Kingdom of Snow unless she shattered the illusionary surroundings.
“Icecloud won’t kill me, as my death will have far too great an influence on the Snow sect. She’ll only imprison me. I’ll still have the opportunity to escape,” the Icepeer Founding Ancestor thought inside. She knew that the Icecloud Founding Ancestor had always been working towards overcoming the final barrier. She had been trying to reach the Seventh Heavenly Layer. In the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s state, she did not have the time nor energy to watch over the Icepeer Founding Ancestor.
The Icepeer Founding Ancestor still had many trusted subordinates in the Snow sect, so she still clung onto the hope of escaping from here.
Suddenly, there was a flash. The Icecloud Founding Ancestor swung her sword, beheading the Icepeer Founding Ancestor without the slightest hesitation. At the same time, terrifying coldness seeped in, immediately freezing the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s body.
In the next moment, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s frozen body cracked and shattered into countless pieces.
It was not only her body. Even her head shattered soon afterwards.
“Icecloud, h- h- how vicious of you! You’ve actually destroyed my body!” The Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s soul appeared. She was stunned at first as if she was unable to believe this was the fate she suffered, but it soon turned into great rage. She roared furiously at the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.
With her body destroyed, she had lost all of her cultivation. Her battle prowess had diminished severely. Living as a soul, she had without a doubt become extremely feeble.
The Icecloud Founding Ancestor said nothing. A Space Ring that the Icepeer Founding Ancestor wore on her figure suddenly appeared in her hand, and an inky-black piece of jade floated out.
The moment the jade appeared, a wisp of Yu Yangxie’s soul immediately materialised. It was very dim, less than a hundredth of when it was in peak condition.
“Ancestor, how has everything gone? Did you successfully make it through the danger this time?” Yu Yangxie immediately said as soon as his soul appeared.
However, Yu Yangxie soon noticed the Icepeer Founding Ancestor who also had her body destroyed and had also been reduced to a soul. His face immediately paled.
