C.3446: The Ice Goddess’ Killing Intent

“Ice Goddess, you have two ways at completion and the complementary nature of the two ways allows your strength to surpass regular Grand Exalts who have comprehended two laws. You can even put up a fight against experts who have comprehended three laws, so in an individual battle, I am indeed not your opponent. However, my mission is only to keep you busy,” the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound said sternly. The light on him shone brightly as the dense Laws of Metal clad his body, turning into golden armour.

Afterwards, with a spear in hand, he merged with the spear and turned into a golden bolt of lightning that shot towards the Ice Goddess.

The Ice Goddess extended a hand. The Laws of Ice and the Laws of Snow weaved together, condensing into a hand of ways that directly reached towards the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound.

Boom!

With a grunt, the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound’s lightning-fast spear was directly caught by the Ice Goddess’s hand of ways. The Laws of Ice and the Laws of Snow overwhelmed the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound’s Laws of Metal, such that his Laws of Metal rapidly dimmed and collapsed.

On top of that, an unstoppable sense of coldness rapidly extended towards the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound along the spear, freezing his hair and turning his eyebrows white. He was almost completely sealed in ice.

The difference in strength was far too great. The Ice Goddess’s two laws were similar in nature, complementing one another. As a result, she almost stood above all other sovereigns with two laws in terms of strength. Her injuries had yet to heal completely, but she still possessed an absolute advantage against the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound who only had one law comprehended to completion.

At this moment, the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound bellowed out, and his turbulent energy erupted. He drew back his spear and retreated suddenly, using his Laws of Metal and the power of his cultivation to fend off the coldness in his body.

After leaving the Ice Goddess, the thin layer of ice crystals on him rapidly melted.

But at this moment, a great sense of danger overwhelmed him. A sword of ice quickly flew over with two laws circulating on the surface, immediately striking the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound and making him grunt.

His golden armour condensed from the Laws of Metal immediately shattered. The sword of ice plunged right in, piercing his chest.

The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound let out a groan as a fist-sized hole appeared in his chest. The entire injury and his organs inside had frosted over.

In the next moment, he retreated desperately while shining with the dazzling Laws of Metal.

The Ice Goddess did not chase after him. Instead, she rushed towards the Hell Demon Exalt from the Demons’ World.

“The Hell Demon Exalt was already injured by Anatta before. If I work together with Bloodtear, even if we can’t kill him today, we can leave him half-dead,” thought the Ice Goddess.

However, before she could get close to the Hell Demon Exalt, the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound returned and launched a sneak attack from behind the Ice Goddess, preventing her from approaching the Hell Demon Exalt.

“You’re asking to die!” The Ice Goddess’s eyes turned cold, shining with killing intent. She struck out resolutely. A sword of ice slashed through the chaos, forcing back the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound.

But this time, she did not spare him. Instead, she followed him closely, directly pursuing the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound.

Injured, the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound did not try to face the Ice Goddess directly. He rapidly retreated into the chaos.

......

…

“The Immortals’ World has thirty-three heavens. The so-called thirty-three heavens are actually thirty-three pieces of land that hover in the sea of stars. This part bears similarity to the forty-nine great planes of the Saints’ World.”

“The only difference between the two is that they have different names.”

“However, the distance between each heaven is far greater than any distance between the planes of the Saints’ World. The Immortals’ World and the Saints’ World are virtually the same in size, but not only does the Saints’ World have the forty-nine great planes, but they also have the eighty-one great planets. On the other hand, the Immortals’ World only has the thirty three heavens, so they’re relatively more scattered, which leads to a larger distance between them.”

“Moreover, the origin energy in the Immortals’ World is very different from the Saints’ World. As a result, when you first reach the Immortals’ World, change your presence as much as possible. If people from the Immortals’ World realise you’re from the Saints’ World, you’ll be hunted down by all the experts because the Immortals’ World and the Saints’ World have always been enemies.”

“Lastly, as well as most importantly, you must never reveal the divine crystals you use in the Saints’ World inside the Immortals’ World. Divine crystals are a product of the Saints’ World, while the Immortals’ World only produces immortal crystals. If you can’t explain the origins of these divine crystals, then you’ll be in big trouble.”

Elsewhere in the chaotic sea, Fang Jing travelled with Jian Chen and explained some aspects that were worth mentioning to him.

Jian Chen silently memorised all of this. As for concealing his presence, he was not particularly worried about that. He had the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race. He could conceal his presence with ease.

Besides that, he had the Divine Armour of Heavenflight too!

With the help from these two treasures, even regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes would struggle to see through his disguise.

“Elder princess, which heaven is the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” Jian Chen asked. The thing about the Immortals’ World that he was most concerned with was the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.

“It’s on the Reverent Observance Heaven, but our final destination is not there. It’s the Grand Sovereign Heaven because it is the heaven closest to the Saints’ World. Entering the Immortals’ World through there can save us a lot of detours in the chaotic sea,” said Fang Jing.

“Don’t tell me we can reach the Reverent Observance Heaven from the chaotic sea too?” Jian Chen asked.

Fang Jing nodded. “The chaotic sea separates the six realms. Whether it’s the Immortals’ World or Saints’ World, or even the Daemons’ World, Demons’ World, Gods’ World, and Spirits’ World, once you breach the world boundary, you’ll appear in the chaotic sea. As a result, you can reach anywhere among the six worlds through the chaotic sea.”

“However, if you want to reach the Reverent Observance Heaven of the Immortals’ World through the chaotic sea from the Saints’ World, you’ll have to take a very long detour, which will take a lot more time. The Reverent Observance Heaven and the Grand Sovereign Heaven are located in different places in the Immortals’ World.”

“Every additional moment you spend in the chaotic sea is even more energy you’ll have to use up, so if you want to reach the Reverent Observance Heaven, it’ll be faster and more energy efficient to take the teleportation formations on the Grand Sovereign Heaven.”

Fang Jing sped through the chaotic sea. She travelled extremely quickly, which made her seem slightly hurried. “All of the Grand Exalts from the Immortals’ World have left. It’s best if we return to the Immortals’ World before they return.”

Jian Chen thought of something and asked, “If the Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World return at a time like this, will we encounter them?”

“Obviously. Basically all the Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World enter the chaotic space from the world boundary near the Grand Sovereign Heaven when they go to the Saints’ World. When they return, they’ll usually reenter the Immortals’ World from there as well unless something has happened.”

“That’s because as long as they’re within the world, Grand Exalts can appear anywhere on a single whim. To them, regardless of where they return to in the Immortals’ World, it’s equivalent to returning to their own sects. But in the chaotic sea, they lose the ability of instantaneous movement, so it’ll take them longer to travel.”

However, as soon as she said that, Fang Jing’s expression changed. “Be quiet and hide. There are Grand Exalts fighting!” When she said that, Fang Jing waved the Dominion’s Brush. She hurriedly hid to one side with Jian Chen, relying on the brush’s powers to become invisible.

Under this state, they were undetectable both to the senses of souls and the naked eye!

As soon as Fang Jing hid herself, rumbles rang out from the depths of the chaotic sea. A miserable figure fled in the direction of the Immortals’ World.

He was the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound!

Behind the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound, a path of ice rapidly extended through the chaos. The Ice Goddess strode through the empty space. Whenever her feet landed, it would land on the path of ice. She chased after the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound.

The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound was already injured. Faced with the Ice Goddess’s powerful attacks, he could only defend as he rapidly retreated.

At this moment, three swords of ice pierced through the air. Wherever they passed by, the chaotic space seemed to freeze, shooting towards the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound who fled ahead with lightning speed.

The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound wielded his spear. The spear erupted with the might of a sovereign god artifact. He struck out with his full strength as he basked in the Laws of Metal.

Immediately, numerous, fine shadows appeared in the space there. At that moment, the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound had thrust out thousands of times.

Boom!

Immediately, a series of densely-packed rumbles rang out. The Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound spurted with blood once again. He was launched far away, immediately vanishing from view. He was swallowed by the chaos Qi that permeated the place.

The powerful shockwave rapidly spread through the chaos.

Jian Chen and Fang Jing hid nearby, so they witnessed all of this. But at this moment, Fang Jing’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

The energy storm created by the Ice Goddess and the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound’s clash spread through the surroundings with great might, which also impacted them.

The vicious energy shockwave immediately swept towards Fang Jing and Jian Chen in an unavoidable manner.

The Dominion’s Brush concealed their traces, but it did not make them immune to attacks. If they could not stop the incoming shockwave, they would definitely be heavily injured.

Most importantly, regardless of whether they resisted it or not, they would definitely be exposed.

Jian Chen’s expression also changed drastically. Right when he was about to summon the Primeval Divine Hall, Fang Jing immediately stood forward. After waving the Dominion’s Brush, it moved through the chaos with the outline of the ways, erupting with a great power that cut through the incoming shockwave.

Immediately, a deafening boom erupted by Jian Chen’s ears. Fang Jing blocked the shockwave with the Dominion’s Brush, but their presence was immediately exposed to the Ice Goddess.

The Ice Goddess was about to chase after the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound when she suddenly halted before slowly looking over. A pair of icy-cold eyes landed on Fang Jing and Jian Chen.

When the Ice Goddess saw Jian Chen, her eyes visibly narrowed. She was surprised.

She was not unfamiliar with Jian Chen at all because he was the reason why her sister remained restless, grieving for thousands of years. Even now, the Snow Goddess had yet to recover her former mentality.

“It’s actually you? You’re actually still alive? I truly struggle to imagine how you survived against Anatta. After all, even with the Wind Venerable assisting you during that situation back then, you still would have died,” the Ice Goddess said with great shock and surprise.

“On top of that, Anatta has already comprehended the Way of Heartlessness. Her success with the Way of Heartlessness means you’re already dead to her, yet unexpectedly, you’ve even managed to fool her.”

At that moment, the Ice Goddess only seemed to see Jian Chen. She even ignored Fang Jing.

Jian Chen also looked towards the Ice Goddess with mixed feelings. He had already heard many things about her. Even back then on the Tian Yuan Continent, he had already heard a lot from Shui Yunlan.

On top of that, she had sealed the Tian Yuan Continent for three million years, such that the people from the lower world were unable to venture to the Saints’ World.

Of course, most importantly, she was the Snow Goddess’s elder sister!

However, before Jian Chen could say anything, the Ice Goddess followed up. “Jian Chen, you shouldn’t be alive. If you aren’t dead, my sister will be influenced by you sooner or later. Since you didn’t die to Anatta, then let me end your life for good.”

The Ice Goddess’s eyes immediately became filled with intense killing intent.

The killing intent was countless times greater than when she faced the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound.

Her desire to kill Jian Chen even surpassed her desire to kill the Grand Exalt of the Ancient and Profound of the Immortals’ World!

As a matter of fact, it even surpassed her killing intent towards all the Grand Exalts of the Immortals’ World!
