Chapter 386: From Now On, I Reign Supreme!
A terrifying blue light erupted, sending the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine flying, its body crashing through the dense, swirling mist at the edge of the world, carving a path of destruction through the mountains and rivers.
The entire Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate trembled under the force of the impact, the very earth sinking, the landscape reshaped.
Caught in the violent turbulence, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine’s body and spirit energy were rapidly dissipating, like a dying flame.
Its flesh and fur peeled away, only its cold, sharp eyes remained, focused.
And strangely, feather-like protrusions were growing from its waist.
“Retreat! It’s about to enter its second phase!”
Sensing the subtle shift in the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine’s aura, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer quickly backed away.
Although they still had some tricks up their sleeves, once the Pseudo-Moon Pill’s effects wore off, they would be doomed.
It was said that the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine had seven levels of acceleration. This battle could drag on.
Gong Lianyue nodded, her hands clasped together, her long hair flowing, her eyes closed, a picture of devout prayer.
A pure, azure water spirit energy surged from her body, a brilliant blue light shooting towards the sky, gradually dyeing the world around her.
Crack—
Like a giant eyelid snapping shut, the sky cracked, a jagged line of ice appearing.
High above, a massive, azure eye slowly opened, its cold, indifferent gaze looking down upon the world, radiating a mysterious, ancient aura.
This was the Ice Forged Decapitator’s spirit diagram…!!!
Under the eye’s gaze, the Sorrowful Saintess and her spirit beasts began to rise, floating towards the sky, while the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s inhabitants, their courage failing, could only watch helplessly as she claimed the cores of the two titled legendary beings.
Sacred Water, Lover’s spirit diagram allowed Gong Lianyue to teleport between her spirit beasts, but it couldn’t cross realm boundaries.
The Ice Forged Decapitator’s spirit diagram, however, allowed for a mass teleportation, ignoring spatial limitations, even to realms she had never visited, though the process was… dramatic.
They were seconds away from escaping the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, but for the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, with its incredible speed, those few seconds were more than enough.
Swish—
The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa’s barrage of blue energy blasts was instantly shattered by a white streak of light, the antlered woman emerging, a comet streaking across the sky.
The icy comet, its momentum unstoppable, the world around it trembling.
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, its body a blur, a flash of light, its speed beyond comprehension, reached the teleporting group almost instantly, its battle lust a raging inferno.
And as if answering its call, the ice-blue halberd, flying from the distance, landed in its hand.
A layer of frost still clung to the halberd, a remnant of the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s attack.
Wielding the Emerald Blossom Tribulation, empowered by the Waterlogged Nether Ring, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, now in its second phase, radiated a terrifying aura that made Gong Lianyue and her spirit beasts’ faces harden.
Just as the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, unable to contain itself any longer, reached out, a purple, crystalline cube forming in its hand, the Nether Princess Bai Xue stepped forward, her body radiating a chilling aura.
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, its ice-blue halberd raised, its sharp blade aimed at the Snow Woman’s face, charged.
…
…
Time froze, ice spread.
The moment the Nether Princess Bai Xue removed her veil, the entire Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate was frozen in a deathly silence.
All life, from the weakest to the strongest, even the legendary Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, their minds frozen, their bodies stiff, as if all senses had vanished.
And etched into the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine’s memory, a single, fleeting image of that breathtakingly beautiful face, a vision that had haunted its dreams, now a chilling reality.
Bang!
The next second, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, stunned and helpless, was sent flying by a blast of icy energy, crashing to the ground hundreds of meters away, half its body frozen, a massive crater marking its impact.
At the same time, a thick layer of ice covered the entire Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, low and mid-rank spirit beasts instantly frozen, even Saint-ranks struggling to maintain their forms.
Only the legendary Spirit Masters and spirit beasts, their hearts pounding with a mixture of awe and terror, could move.
Even Gong Lianyue hadn’t expected the Nether Princess Bai Xue to be this powerful, its beauty rivaling even that of… her.
Its aura had increased tenfold, its delicate face pale and fragile, ice flower patterns swirling in its eyes.
Although these frozen beings wouldn’t die, freeing them would require a legendary being’s intervention, a significant effort. The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate would be busy for a while.
“Sister!!!”
Just as they were about to be teleported away by the azure eye in the sky, a voice from below caught Gong Lianyue’s attention.
Gong Xingyu, the Ice Eye Saintess, her face a mask of confusion and sorrow, tears shimmering in her eyes, was looking at her.
Gong Lianyue hesitated for a moment, then her expression hardened, her usual indifference returning.
Under the gazes of all the remaining conscious beings within the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, the blue-haired woman in the bathrobe and flowing ribbons smiled coldly, her water-like hair dancing in the wind, her aura radiating an almost unbearable arrogance.
[I am Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace.]
[The past is irrelevant. What matters is that I am strong, strong enough to trample upon this Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate.]
[From now on, I reign supreme!!]
[Gong Xingyu, come and defeat me.]
With those words, the blue-haired woman’s cold, indifferent figure vanished into the azure eye.
At the same time, looking at the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, which had just struggled to its feet, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer made a threatening gesture with its antlers, then followed Gong Lianyue, stepping into the eye.
Crack—!!
The next second, the azure eye snapped shut, the sky trembling, and the auras of Gong Lianyue and her spirit beasts vanished without a trace.
Their voices, however, echoed throughout the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate. Gong Xingyu, the Ice Eye Saintess, her face a mask of conflicting emotions, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine standing silently amidst the ruins, all other beings frozen, a deathly silence.
The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate… utterly defeated…
