Chapter 2637: True Strength

At the same time, a thick layer of ice appeared around the Blue Sky Venerable. He seemed like he had been sealed up in ice.

The Blue Sky Venerable was surprised. Disbelief filled his face. He would have never thought the Rain Abbess would be so powerful. She was strong to the point where he lost the upper hand as soon as they began fighting. He struggled to accept it.

However, the Blue Sky Venerable finally understood the Rain Abbess’ strength after this clash. He no longer dared to hold back. He immediately bellowed out, and his supreme cultivation as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime erupted completely. Terrifying energy formed a destructive storm around him, immediately shattering the ice to pieces. Afterwards, he clenched his hand into a fist. His presence increased as all his vital energies rose to his limit. After that, he threw out a punch.

The punch contained his vital energies. Its might was astonishing, gushing through the galaxies and making them tremble.

At the same time, the punch was filled with a presence like it wanted to defy heaven, as if it were not afraid of doing anything.

This was an extremely powerful God Tier Battle Skill that the Blue Sky Venerable had grasped, the Punch of Heaven’s Defiance!

With this battle skill, the Blue Sky Venerable was able to rank towards the top among all Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.

This was because the battle skill was an extremely straightforward and powerful attack. The punch was all-powerful, where even other experts at the Sixth Heavenly Layer would struggle to receive it.

The Blue Sky Venerable had great confidence in his Punch of Heaven’s Defiance. Even if the Rain Abbess was unexpectedly powerful, it would not be easy for her to block his punch.

However, as he had come for the Watercloud Iron and not just to fight the Rain Abbess, he secretly contacted Gongsun Zhi. He wanted to get him to attack as well when he punched out.

Only when they worked together would the Rain Abbess be heavily injured in the shortest amount of time possible, allowing him to obtain the Watercloud Iron.

The Rain Abbess’ eyes were utterly cold as she stood in the power of rain and clouds. Her robes buffeted wildly as her hair danced about. Even without the support from the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood, she felt no fear as she faced the Blue Sky Venerable. There was just chilling killing intent.

Three fingernail-sized fish scales suddenly appeared on her snow-white neck. Every single scale possessed a profound patterning of the ways, and they were all pressed tightly against her skin like a birthmark.

The three scales were the same in size. They seemed exactly the same, apart from being golden, silver, and bronze in color.

At this moment, the bronze scale suddenly vanished.

As the scale vanished, the Rain Abbess seemed to burst through some form of shackling. Her presence suddenly erupted, and she broke through the limits of her current cultivation in an instant to reach an even higher level.

It was not just her presence. Even her cultivation and comprehension rose alongside her presence.

Afterwards, she turned into a streak of blue light, piercing through space like a sharp blade and colliding with the Blue Sky Venerable’s punch.

Boom!

The collision erupted with a deafening rumble. The punch that the Blue Sky Venerable had extremely great confidence in shattered. The Rain Abbess seemingly destroyed it effortlessly.

The Rain Abbess continued onwards. She shone with a water-blue light as she charged through the storm of energy from the collision, arriving before the Blue Sky Venerable in an instant. She struck out swiftly with her hand, shattering the layers of energy around the Blue Sky Venerable. Her hand landed on his armor under the Blue Sky Venerable’s dumbfounded gaze.

Immediately, the god artifact dimmed. A clear imprint appeared on it. Terrifying energy surged from the Rain Abbess’ hand, immediately sending the Blue Sky Venerable flying.

The Blue Sky Venerable stabilised himself a hundred kilometres away. His presence was rather chaotic as he stared right at the Rain Abbess with widened eyes. Disbelief filled his face.

“The Sixth Heavenly Layer. You’ve actually reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer. I never thought you would have had your cultivation sealed up the entire time!” The Blue SkyVenerable’s expression became rather ugly. There was a sliver of shock.

He had never thought that the Rain Abbess would have hidden her strength so much.

Nor had he thought the Rain Abbess’ battle prowess would increase to such a terrifying level after reaching the Sixth Heavenly Layer.

When she was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, she could already put up a fight against Sixth Heavenly Layer experts. Now that she had reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer, she would naturally become even more terrifying. It made the Blue Sky Venerable’s heart sink. He sensed that the situation was bad.

Watercloud Iron was very precious, but offending an expert like this over a piece of it was no longer a matter of being a smart decision or not. Instead, he was looking to die.

The Blue Sky Venerable became filled with regret. If he had known that the Rain Abbess had sealed up her cultivation, he would have never dared to provoke her.

After understanding that it would be very difficult for him to defeat the Rain Abbess, the Blue Sky Venerable could only look towards Gongsun Zhi, hoping that he would work with him.

However, Gongsun Zhi did not even glance at him. He had already developed fear towards the Rain Abbess after the encounter earlier, as this was the first time he had come across someone who could match or even suppress Godslayer’s sword since he obtained it.

As a result, even if Gongsun Zhi was a hundred times bolder, he dared not provoke the Rain Abbess anymore.

“Now that the Rain Abbess is busy with the Blue Sky Venerable, she doesn’t have the time to deal with me. I can destroy the Martial Soul lineage during this time. After that, I will immediately return to the Radiant Saint Hall. Once I get back, I’ll be safe. Even if the Rain Abbess comes to the Desolate Plane, there will be nothing that she can do to me. Xuan Zhan is in the Radiant Saint Hall. His protector sword is even more powerful in his hands with his cultivation on par with Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes. He should be able to stop the Rain Abbess.”

“Even if Xuan Zhan can’t stop her, there’s the other protectors as well. Although they’re always opposing me, protecting the Radiant Saint Hall is their mission.” Gongsun Zhi looked at the Martial Soul Mountain that rapidly flew off and killing intent filled his eyes.

“Senior Xu, senior Huangfu, immediately help me stop the Martial Soul Mountain. Now that the Rain Abbess is gone, it’s the perfect opportunity to destroy the Martial Soul lineage,” Gongsun Zhi called Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi before immediately pursuing the mountain soul.

“Leader, there is nothing that we can do. Farewell!”

Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi had witnessed Sha Yun’s fate. How could the two of them be bold enough to continue attacking the Martial Soul lineage? After throwing that out there, they fled as quickly as they could in fear. They did not dare to stay for even a moment longer.

Gongsun Zhi did not understand the battle between the Rain Abbess and the Blue Sky Venerable, but the two of them understood it perfectly. They had already developed fear towards the Rain Abbess.

Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi’s retreat immediately infuriated Gongsun Zhi. He glanced in their direction resentfully and remembered their actions.

However, as soon as they left, Sha Yun, who had been lying there quietly, finally recovered. When he opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes were slightly lost.
