"ZhenâSister Zhen?"
Lin Changâsheng stared at the woman ahead in utter disbelief.
Because this woman looked exactly like Yan Zhen, the Yan Zhen he knew.
But her cultivation at this moment was so terrifyingly powerful that Lin Changâsheng didnât dare to recognize her rashly.
"Then let me see if you really have the strength for this!"
Wu Hao threw Lin Changâsheng aside with one hand, planning to test the womanâs might himselfâfleeing in fright would be a supreme humiliation.
For all he knew, the other side only looked impressive but was empty inside.
"Changâsheng, move aside!"
The woman radiating cold air glanced at Lin Changâsheng as he landed safely, and reminded him firmly.
This made Lin Changâsheng even more certainâthe woman was indeed Yan Zhen.
After learning of Lin Changâshengâs disappearance, Yan Zhen had rushed nonstop from the Land of Extreme Cold all the way to Immortal Sea Province, traversing multiple territories, finally tracking Lin Changâsheng down here.
Luckily, Lin Changâsheng was still alive.
Had she arrived any later, Lin Changâsheng might have been doomed.
"Sister Zhen, is it really you?"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes filled with incredulity.
Yan Zhen had actually grown so incredibly strong?
Lin Changâsheng knew that the battles of Tribulation Crossing cultivators were not something he could safely witnessâjust the shockwaves could shatter his internal organs to pieces.
So he instantly retreated ten miles away.
From there, he wouldnât be able to see what was happening with the naked eye, but could still sense it through divine thought.
If Yan Zhen were to be overpowered, Lin Changâsheng would definitely not abandon her.
On the battlefield.
Wu Hao stared at Yan Zhen. Heâd seen cultivators wield the power of cold ice before, but never had he felt an aura this icy and powerful.
This womanâs strength was anything but ordinary, so Wu Hao dared not underestimate her.
He waved his hand, producing a massive hammer blazing with lightning.
BZZZZâ
As the Thunderbolt Giant Hammer emerged, the air crackled with thunder and lightning, silver serpents dancing across the skies, the heavens above crackling and roaring violently.
This hammer was called the Celestial Thunder Hammer. When forged, it absorbed the power of celestial thunder, making it devastatingly potent.
This treasure was a Lower Grade Celestial Immortal Treasure level weapon.
Wu Hao thought that once the other side saw his immortal treasure, sheâd show some fear.
But to his surprise, she only curled her lip in a sneer of disdain.
In the very next instant, Yan Zhen flicked her hand and summoned a sword radiating the chill of the deepest cold.
As this sword appeared, the earth all around instantly froze solid for three feet deep.
For a hundred yards in every direction, a single drop of water froze to ice.
The cold air radiated out to the extreme.
Even Wu Hao had to gather up his primordial power to withstand the raw frigid force.
If he didnât defend himself with primordial power, this icy power would surely invade his very flesh.
"The Frost Swordâyouâre the Ice Frost Empress?! Impossible! The Ice Frost Empress fell three thousand years ago, how could she have returned?"
Wu Hao was stunned the moment he saw the blade in Yan Zhenâs hand.
He never imagined the woman facing him now was actually an Empress.
At her zenith, the Ice Frost Empress could rival even the Divine Dragon.
Yan Zhen clearly wasnât that powerful yet.
The only explanation was that sheâd been reborn, usurping anotherâs body.
"Crawl back to Celestial Emperor City, and never trouble Changâsheng again. Iâll spare your life."
Yan Zhen spoke with icy calm.
But Wu Hao merely scoffed at her words.
"That depends if you have the skill!"
As he finished, the Celestial Thunder Hammer in his grip surged to its limit, titanic thunder power gathering, the giant hammer then coming smashing down toward Yan Zhen.
Midair, the massive hammer transformed into a doom-bringing, world-shattering force, its area of attack spanning a full ten miles.
The entire area was sealed beneath Wu Haoâs overwhelming might.
Yan Zhen stood at ground zero, the very center of the attack.
This single blow seemed to drag with it the power of heaven and earthâits might truly terrifying.
Compared to this titanic hammer, Yan Zhen seemed as small as an ant beside a towering tree; utterly insignificant.
Yet from such a tiny figure, world-shattering power burst forth.
Screeeâ
Yan Zhen spun her blade, and a tide of cold ice exploded outwardâthe thunder hammerâs charge visibly slowed.
Frost began to streak across the hammer, coating it with icy energy.
SWISHâ
Yan Zhen slashed her sword, and the very space around them seemed to collapse inward.
A surge of spear aura shot directly toward the massive hammer.
KABOOMâ
In the next instant, sword aura and giant hammer collided explosively with a sky-shaking roar.
The titanic shockwave blasted out ten miles, even forcing Lin Changâsheng to stumble back violently.
"So this is the might of a Tribulation Crossing expert?"
Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but marvelâhe was already ten miles away!
He could still feel the overwhelming shockwave.
If heâd been closer, his inner mansion would have been demolished and death would have come instantly.
At the heart of the battlefield, after that full-power clashâ
Their forces stalemated in midair.
Celestial thunder and cold ice powerlocked in a deadlock.
Cold ice constantly froze Wu Haoâs attack, while thunder blasted away at the ice.
Though Yan Zhen had inherited the legacy of the Ice Frost Empress, her cultivation was not yet back to the Empressâs peak.
To slay a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse right now would not be easy.
After about half a minute of deadlock, Yan Zhen pressed her edge using the middle-grade Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, the Frost Blade.
The overwhelming cold ice finally seized the advantage, sheathing the thunder-flashing giant hammer in a thick coat of frost, utterly sealing its power.
