Chapter 3016: The Outcome (Two)

“That’s far too unexpected! That’s just far too unexpected! The Rain Abbess of the Delight Plane can actually contend against the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. Who do you think will be the final victor?”

“Do we even have to discuss this? It’ll obviously be the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. The Rain Abbess might be able to contend with the Icecloud Founding Ancestor, but that’s only because the Icecloud Founding Ancestor hasn’t used her full strength. Do you know about the treasured technique of the Snow sect? That’s something brought out of the Ice Goddess Hall by the past ancestors of the Snow sect. Once the Icecloud Founding Ancestor unleashes it, defeat is guaranteed for the Rain Abbess no matter how powerful she is.”

“That’s right. Unless the Rain Abbess is a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, she won’t stand a chance against the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.”

“What we should be paying attention to right now is not who will emerge victoriously between the Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor, but how long the Rain Abbess can last before the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.”

“Though, even if the Rain Abbess loses this battle, there’s nothing humiliating about it. After all, they’re both at the Sixth Heavenly Layer. There’s nothing wrong at all with her losing to the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. Instead, the Delight Plane’s ranking will probably rise up significantly among the forty-nine great planes after this.”

……

…

The ancestors of the peak organisations discussed among themselves in various places across the Ice Pole Plane. None of them had any intentions of involving themselves in the battle in the Snow sect. They merely watched on as spectators to see how it would develop.

But to their surprise, the battle between the Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor ended even faster than they imagined. The space above the Snow sect collapsed with a great rumble, and the powers of extreme cold and the powers of rain seeped out, together with a figure that fell down like a broken kite.

“Has it really ended this quickly? Looks like the Rain Abbess’ battle prowess is nothing special. She actually lost so quickly.”

“In my opinion, the only reason why the Rain Abbess can erupt with battle prowess on par with the Seventh Heavenly Layer is probably because of some kind of temporary secret technique. Once the secret technique runs out, she obviously can’t last very long before the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.”

“Yeah, that should be the case. It’s just like the Heavenly Crane clan’s Ancestral Blood pill. Once they ingest the pill, their strength will also erupt, but it won’t last for too long.”

Thinking through this, many of the peak experts immediately eased up. Many of them sighed deeply inside. The great strength on par with the Icecloud Founding Ancestor that the Rain Abbess had suddenly erupted with earlier had made them leap in fright.

As it seemed now, the Rain Abbess was not as terrifying as they imagined her to be.

“No, t- t- that’s actually the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.” At this moment, the powerful senses of a soul over the Snow sect suddenly shook violently. Its owner cried out in complete shock.

Only now did everyone see it clearly. The figure that had fallen out of the spatial crack was clearly the legendary figure of the Snow sect, the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.

All of the experts on the Ice Pole Plane immediately gasped at the discovery. They all endured inner turmoil.

The Icecloud Founding Ancestor was falling rapidly. The presence around her was a mess, and her face was a sickly white. There was even a trail of blood from the corner of her lips. Clearly, she was injured.

Only when she fell to the Snow sect’s protective formations did the Icecloud Founding Ancestor stabilise herself and stop falling. Her pale face was extremely stern.

Soon afterwards, the Rain Abbess also flew out of the spatial crack. Rain immediately began to pour and lightning crackled with her appearance, completely overwhelming the wind and snow from the Snow sect.

Compared to the horrible shape of the Icecloud Founding Ancestor, the Rain Abbess was much more composed. Her figure was just as obscured and illusionary as before, adding a hint of mysteriousness to her. She slowly descended, standing on thin air and hovering before the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.

“Tell the people of your Snow sect to stop!” The Rain Abbess spoke. Her voice was calm and completely emotionless.

The Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s face sank. After a moment of hesitation, she formed a seal with her hands and opened the protective formations of the Snow sect.

Immediately, the entire Snow sect was clearly exposed to the outside world.

However, a great battle was unfolding in there right now. Even though it paled in comparison to ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s battle, much less the Rain Abbess and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s battle, it was still extraordinarily intense.

Hun Zang was locked in battle with the Profound Sky Ancestor, while the great elder of the Heavenly Crane clan, He Qianchi, was also under the attack of numerous great elders from the Snow sect.

“Disciples of the Snow sect, stop!” the Icecloud Founding Ancestor bellowed out before looking at outer space. She said, “Icepeer, you come back too!”

The strongest ancestor of the Snow sect had issued an order, so obviously no one was bold enough to defy her. Immediately, the great elders around He Qianchi stopped. Even the Profound Sky Ancestor stopped fighting Hun Zang, rising up into the air while supporting the Frigid River Ancestor who had a wounded soul. They arrived behind the Icecloud Founding Ancestor.

However, when they saw the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s pale face and the smear of blood by the corner of her lips, both the Profound Sky Ancestor and the Frigid River Ancestor were shocked.

The Icecloud Founding Ancestor was injured. The impact of this revelation on the two ancestors basically made them feel like the world was ending. It threw them both into inner turmoil.

With a flash, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor returned from outer space. Seeing the traces of blood on the Icecloud Founding Ancestor’s face, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s face became as ugly as it could become.

“Something unexpected has happened in the Snow sect. Wu Han, immediately leave the Prison of Ice with Shui Yunlan. Hide yourself well. Don’t let anyone discover you.” Soon afterwards, an extremely obscure sense of the soul appeared from the Icepeer Founding Ancestor, reaching the Prison of Ice while fooling everyone’s senses.

In the Prison of Ice, Wu Han sat on a throne carved from ice and stared eagerly at Shui Yunlan who was in horrible shape. She was waiting for the effects of the Soul Devouring pill to come into play.

At this moment, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s message reached her ears. Wu Han’s expression immediately changed drastically when she heard how stern the Icepeer Founding Ancestor was. The light in her eyes flickered rapidly before immediately throwing the tormented Shui Yunlan into a divine hall without the slightest hesitation. After changing her appearance, she left the Prison of Ice under the disguise of a Godking disciple of the Snow sect.

Hun Zang flew out of the Snow sect too. He did not remove the Martial Soul Formation cast on him, so he pulsed with powerful energy as he stood beside the Rain Abbess.

Ancestor Lan had returned from outer space too, hovering right in front of He Qianchi. However, they did not stand on the side of the Icecloud Founding Ancestor or the Rain Abbess. Instead, they stood in a position of their own, creating their own side.

The Icecloud Founding Ancestor, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor, the Frigid River Ancestor, the Profound Sky Ancestor, the Rain Abbess, Hun Zang, ancestor Lan, and He Qianchi formed three parties, facing each other in a triangle.

Ancestor Lan’s actions were clearly stating to everyone that her stance had nothing to do with the Rain Abbess or the Martial Soul lineage. They only possessed an identical goal, which was why it seemed like they had banded together when they attacked the Snow sect.
