Chapter 315: Unparalleled Grace
Chapter 315: Unparalleled Grace
“Was she out of her mind to provoke the Heavenly Palace? This is suicide!”
“What a waste of her unparalleled beauty.”
“Don’t judge too soon. Don’t you find Cheng Lingyu’s reaction strange?”
At these words, everyone turned to Cheng Lingyu. His earlier tension had vanished completely, replaced by serene composure.
The Heavenly Realm expert from the Heavenly Palace narrowed his eyes at Thousand Snow. “Since you court death,” he sneered, “I’ll oblige.”
Time pressed urgently. Should Han Cang break free, all would be lost.
The Heavenly Realm expert wasted no time, unleashing his ultimate attack to obliterate Thousand Snow and Cheng Lingyu.
His palm strike split the sky, radiating divine might enough to annihilate entire realms – the true power of a Heavenly Realm expert.
Cheng Lingyu merely narrowed his eyes, maintaining solemn focus without panic.
Thousand Snow raised her right hand calmly. Silver spiritual patterns swirled at her fingertips, coalescing into a crystalline ice peak no taller than an inch on her middle finger – deceptively small yet radiating terrifying power.
Her jade hand flickered. When palm met fingertip, thunderous shockwaves nearly tore the firmament asunder.
Thousand Snow stood unmoved. Cheng Lingyu remained unharmed. But the Heavenly Realm expert hurtled backward hundreds of feet, his supposedly indestructible body shattering like brittle ice with cracking echoes.
The crowd gaped in disbelief. A Heavenly Realm master, destroyed by a mere finger-flick from this woman!
Even the higher-ups of Lou Ri City, Heavenly Palace, and Divine Martial Sect watched in stunned silence, shaken to their cores.
Crack! The expert’s frozen remains scattered across the ground like shattered glass.
“Wretched girl! I’ll end you!”
The expert’s rage boiled over. After millennia of cultivation to achieve near-invincibility, some chit had shattered his physical form effortlessly!
Thousand Snow glided forward with Cheng Lingyu, her leisurely pace belying terrifying speed.
Stripped of his physical body, the expert’s Primordial Spirit morphed into a light arrow piercing through time-space itself – a desperate revenge strike fueled by millenniums of cultivation.
Thousand Snow idly brushed her bangs. Her ring finger intercepted the arrow, its apocalyptic momentum frozen by an icy aura.
Agonizing cold pierced the expert’s consciousness, forcing tormented screams from his fading spirit.
“Who… are you?!”
Thousand Snow’s mocking reply echoed across Nine Heavens and the earth: “Does my identity matter before the Heavenly Palace?” Every Tianyang Empire cultivator heard this open slap to the sect’s prestige.
Her jade hand clenched. The Primordial Spirit arrow detonated, extinguishing the Heavenly Realm expert completely.
The Heavenly Palace erupted. A golden light tore through the sky, seeking vengeance.
Yang Yan and Wu Xuanbo paled. These arrogant prodigies now trembled inwardly – this elegant beauty slaughtered experts like harvesting wheat.
Hu Yuer watched with conflicted eyes, profound loss etched in her gaze.
Despite their grave injuries, Wan Fang and Feixue managed smiles. This outcome defied all expectations.
Thousand Snow advanced steadily, jade footsteps crystallizing into an ice-and-snow path stretching toward the battle’s heart.
Mu Bai was sent flying by Miaoshu Spirit Master’s palm strike, gravely injured.
Seizing the advantage, Miaoshu Spirit Master closed in instantly, intent on executing Mu Bai immediately.
A silver ice light suddenly pierced through the air, breaching Miaoshu Spirit Master’s defenses and impaling his body. An icy aura froze him solid, rendering him immobile.
The next instant, Thousand Snow appeared in Miaoshu Spirit Master’s vision. The peerless jade beauty’s blade-like gaze swept lightly, and his body exploded into scattered ice fragments.
“No!”
A heaven-shaking roar of regret erupted as Miaoshu Spirit Master, driven mad with rage, longed to tear Thousand Snow apart.
Ignoring him, Thousand Snow gazed at the golden light in the sky. Her right hand flexed, snatching Miaoshu Spirit Master’s Primordial Spirit into her palm.
“Wh-what are you doing? Release me! The Heavenly Palace will destroy you!”
Miaoshu Spirit Master struggled futilely, terror gripping his heart.
“Impudent wench! Release him!”
The golden light materialized into a golden-armored war god radiating terrifying energy, bellowing at Thousand Snow.
Thousand Snow sneered, “Release him? As you wish.”
Her jade hand opened, ice light flaring. A spinning runic mark pierced the Primordial Spirit, eliciting a piercing shriek before it cracked and burned in icy flames.
“Y-you dare?!”
Enraged, the golden-armored war god stomped downward to crush Thousand Snow.
With a cold glare, Thousand Snow ascended with Cheng Lingyu. Her right hand flicked, launching an ice lotus from her fingertips to intercept the war god’s strike.
This golden-armored war god, a legendary Heavenly Palace figure renowned across the Brilliant Star Continent, possessed overwhelming combat power but a volatile temper.
Thousand Snow moved with serene precision, each motion infused with profound Dao principles.
A crystalline snap echoed as ice petals bloomed.
The war god recoiled, fury freezing on his face.
“Who are you?”
Thousand Snow hovered on the ice lotus, holding Cheng Lingyu’s hand. “Does the Heavenly Palace care?”
“Cease your arrogance! This concerns the Heavenly Palace and Lou Ri City’s feud. Stay out!”
“I care nothing for your feud. But whoever seeks Cheng Lingyu’s death answers to me.”
“You think you can shield him?”
“Test me and learn.”
Raising her right hand, crystalline jade energy coalesced into annihilating force.
All eyes shifted from Han Cang’s battle to this confrontation—leaders of Lou Ri City, Divine Martial Sect, and Heavenly Palace observing intently.
Hu Yuer helped Feixue join Wan Fang and Mu Bai. The four watched anxiously, praying silently.
Luo Feng Spirit Master and Qiu Yu still clashed with Divine Martial Sect’s Heavenly Realm experts.
Yang Yan and Wu Xuanbo remained silent, their earlier arrogance replaced by wariness.
Golden light enveloped the war god as spiritual patterns morphed into weapons radiating killing light.
“Armament Sovereign!”
Weapons swarmed around him, forming a battle array targeting Thousand Snow and Cheng Lingyu.
Thousand Snow remarked coolly, “Your cultivation reached this Realm only to die here for threatening him.”
The war god laughed wildly, “You challenge me? I’ve dominated this continent for millennia!”
“You don’t even know me, yet boast?”
Even Cheng Lingyu only knew her power surpassed time itself, having witnessed her battle Yin Xuan.
“You’ll talk after I break you!”
The war god’s fist gathered golden light like a sun, tearing through the void with apocalyptic force.
Space boiled.
The unstoppable strike radiated divine might.
The annihilating blow left no escape.
Only Thousand Snow’s grip saved Cheng Lingyu from disintegration.
“Disappointing.”
Her jade fingers caught the golden fist, luminous mist swirling.
Yin met yang in a clash transcending mortal sight.
A deafening crash froze the scene—jade fingers gripping a radiant fist, crystalline light erupting.
Time hung suspended.
The war god roared, golden energy surging uselessly against her hold.
Like an effortless snow sprite, Thousand Snow clenched her hand. The legendary fist crumbled to dust.
“BREAK!”
The war god channeled his full cultivation, but couldn’t shake her grasp.
