Chapter 356 First on the Beauty List, a Celestial Being Descends to Earth

"Gu Xingzhou!!! How dare you!!!!"

"To dare look down upon our Cold Ice Holy Sect—even if you undergo Ascension to the Upper Realm, there will be no place for you to hide!!"

Mocked by Gu Xingzhou in front of everyone, the two newcomers from the Upper Realm were instantly enraged and couldn't help but roar in anger.

"Look, they're getting worked up!"

Gu Xingzhou pointed his thumb at the two, his playful expression inviting everyone to watch.

No one spoke.

No one knew what Gu Xingzhou was up to.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Only Emperor Wu Lie, Ji Hengjiang laughed heartily, his voice like a great bell, echoing through heaven and earth:

"Gu Xingzhou, everything else you said was nonsense, but those two sentences were the truth!"

"They truly please Us! Truly please Us!!"

He laughed so hard he clutched his stomach.

"Dog emperor, for killing a Disciple of our Cold Ice Holy Sect, you will eventually die without a place to be buried!"

The youth with a slightly pale face spoke with a venomous tone.

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu Lie, Ji Hengjiang vanished from his spot and appeared behind him with a cold expression.

"We shall let you die without a place to be buried first!"

"Junior Sister, save me!!! Mysterious Ice Body Protection!!!"

The pale-faced youth was terrified. His aura erupted, and True Essence like a tsunami formed a massive ice shield in front of him. The temperature within a radius of dozens of miles plummeted, as if midwinter had arrived.

No!

It was a hundred times colder than the depths of winter.

He looked horrified; another Senior Brother had just died at Ji Hengjiang's hands, filling his heart with immense fear.

But to the others present, it was far more shocking.

This youth, who seemed to have an ordinary Heart-Nature and a perverse temperament, actually possessed such terrifying cultivation. His aura had reached the Late Stage of the Yuantai Realm, surpassing most people here, with only a few able to compare.

As expected of someone from the Upper Realm; everyone cast aside their contempt.

Boom! Crack!!

Even such a formidable expert's ice shield was shattered instantly under Emperor Wulie's palm strike, sending shards of ice flying in all directions.

"Get out of the way!!"

Sensing the power of the ice shards, the onlookers scrambled to dodge.

A young man following behind Ji Bo failed to dodge in time. A shard the size of a fingernail pierced through his chest and landed in the distance, instantly freezing a large mountain in ice as cold mist spread.

As for the young man, the cold air traveled along the wound, freezing him into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye. All signs of life vanished, and even his Primordial Spirit was frozen to death.

The members of the Hidden Dragon Clan dodged and stared at the scene in a daze, their hearts trembling with fear.

"Ancestor! We worship you so you'll protect us, not harm us!!"

They shouted inwardly, filled with grief and indignation.

Ice chips flew everywhere, and the ground was instantly frozen into ice several feet thick. Everyone retreated in a hurry.

Several shards of ice shot toward Yan Chu's side.

Standing before him, Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng lost her composure. Her Phoenix dress fluttered as she dodged backward like a lithe Phoenix bird.

Her cultivation at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level was truly insufficient among those present; she didn't dare let even a single ice particle touch her.

Otherwise, that ice sculpture would be her fate.

"Do not worry, Empress Dowager!"

At that moment, Yan Chu gave a light chuckle. Several beams of white light shot from his fingertips with a soft pop, instantly vaporizing the incoming ice shards into nothingness.

Yuwen Feng, who had just leaped into the air, narrowed her Phoenix eyes slightly. She slowly descended again, her sleeves fluttering as she gave Yan Chu a deep look and nodded.

"Phew... Thank you, Great Khan. You scared this old man to death!"

Luo Hang and Hu Tianyu, the two Grand Elders of the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult who had lacked any presence since their appearance, finally managed to get a couple of lines in and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

They hadn't had a chance to dodge just now; fortunately, Yan Chu had intervened with a finger flick.

Simply by dealing with the scattering Mysterious Ice, the difference in strength among those present became immediately clear.

Those who could neutralize the Mysterious Ice without dodging were all experts at or above the Yuantai Realm. As for those below that realm, three unlucky souls were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

This gave everyone a deeper understanding of the power of those from the Upper Realm.

Among the three frozen into ice sculptures, one was at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level. Only because he was relatively close and hadn't anticipated the power and strangeness of the Mysterious Ice, he had been confident he could handle it with his own cultivation.

In the end, he became a dead sculpture.

This caused everyone else to cast aside their contempt as well.

Gu Xingzhou's earlier words were likely only relative to himself; compared to others, these two Upper Realm youths were figures far beyond reach.

All of this takes a long time to describe, but it actually happened in an instant.

At the same moment Ji Hengjiang shattered the ice shield with a palm strike, the woman shrouded in rosy light also acted, teleporting to block the path in front of the youth.

"Cold Star Lighting the Lamp!"

A cold voice drifted from the woman's mouth, sounding like heavenly music and echoing endlessly in everyone's ears.

Compared to her melodious and pleasant voice, what drew more attention was the finger she pointed out.

The light from her finger was like a cold star, or a lamp in the deep of night, flashing with brilliant light. At the moment Ji Hengjiang's palm was about to strike the youth dead, it pressed against his palm.

Dong!!!

Ji Hengjiang's cultivation had long since reached the pinnacle.

The Innate Fetal Respiration within his body was incredibly profound, and his entire physique was tempered to be far superior to any peerless divine weapon.

The contact between the fingertip and the palm produced a thunderous sound like a great bell.

It seemed as if the entire Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land shook three times, and almost everyone present struggled to keep their footing.

A wave of coldness surged into Ji Hengjiang's palm, frost extending from his hand toward his arm, and he immediately pulled back.

His powerful palm wind also blew away the rosy light shrouding the woman, and this extremely mysterious woman finally revealed her true face to everyone.

"Hiss..."

The sound of someone drawing a sharp breath rang out.

But no one cared who it was.

Because almost everyone couldn't help but gasp and instinctively swallow their saliva.

Beautiful!

So beautiful!!

This was beauty that shouldn't belong to the mortal world!!!

She belonged only to the heavens; she must be a Fairy!!!!

There were also beauties from the beauties ranking list present, all possessing rare beauty that could hardly be surpassed.

But this one before them...

No!

If only judging by appearance, she wasn't much superior to Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng or Xiahou Xi. It was mainly her aura—that unique aura of being detached from the world and ascending to immortality—that no one could compare to.

Gu Xingzhou, the Master of the Number One Estate Under Heaven who had been talking eloquently just now, fell into a rare silence upon seeing the woman's face again.

His face was filled with reminiscence and melancholy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"We know who you are. You are the Number One on the beauties ranking list, the Heavenly Immortal Descending to Earth!!!"

Among those present, the Grand Ancestor of Great Jin, Li Jichuan, was one of the few who didn't fall into infatuation because of the woman's beauty and aura.

After only a momentary daze at first, he immediately returned to normal.
