Chapter 1003 - Palm Imprint (2/2)

“The only reason you find it strange is not my strength or background but merely that I’m a woman and you’re a man. Am I right?”

Fang Xingjian did not reply, but given his attitude, the Crown Princess took his silence as consent.

The Crown Princess sighed, “I thought that you wouldn’t be such a stick in the mud since you’re able to break out of the limits of this continent’s martial arts, creating a path of your own that no one has taken before.

“By the looks of it, you’re still constrained by the mortal world’s values.”

Hearing the Crown Princess’ words, the countenances of both Hei Zi and Bai Zi changed. It was because they had a deep understanding of how terrifying this leader of theirs was. They also knew well that what she detested the most was being treated differently just because she was a woman, regardless of if it was because they did not think well of her or that they thought too well of her.

At the thought of this, the Crown Princess’ background appeared in Hei Zi’s mind.

The Crown Princess had been born to a secular dynasty in the Western Land. Moreover, it had been into a royal family. She had led a life of luxury and extravagances, doted on by many since young.

Despite this, the Crown Princess had displayed unparalleled talent starting from a young age. Be it in literature or martial arts cultivation, she had improved at a tremendous rate, far surpassing her other brothers, both elder and younger.

It was just that her status as a woman ultimately still restricted her growth.

During the year she turned 18, she was wedded out by her father while her brothers started competing for the position of Crown Prince.

That year, the Crown Princess killed her husband on the night of their wedding. She then killed her way into the Imperial Capital and asked her father one question.

“Why can’t a woman become a Crown Prince or be an Emperor?”

Although the Crown Princess had astonishing and unparalleled talent, she was still too young and suppressed by many of the dynasty’s experts.

Then just as she had been about to be executed, an important character in the higher world outside of the Western Land’s secular dynasty took a liking to her aptitude.

…

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, the cloud layers in the sky above the Imperial Capital started to seethe, and dark clouds started to cover the sky.

As the cloud layers seethed, streams of cold wind descended. The entire world seemed to have become solemn, filled with a cold and lonely feeling.

At the sight of this, Fang Xingjian’s brows furrowed slightly. It was because from his high dimensional viewpoint, neither the wind nor clouds had been oppressed by martial will. Instead, they were changing together with the Crown Princess’ emotions.

The Crown Princess moved, and hints of golden light glowed all over her body. At this moment, it was as if her words were the law that could determine other people’s life or death. She seemed to be standing between yin and yang, capable of causing the entire world to change.

Simultaneously, the world seethed and the entire stretch of space seemed to tremble with the Crown Princess’ martial will, and her voice filled up the entire place.

“Fang Xingjian, since you are unwilling to become my man, die.”

As she spoke, a golden light burst out, turning into a big golden hand that slapped out fiercely toward Fang Xingjian.

“Take this attack from me. Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint!”

It was an attack that did not rely on any external forces, using a great palm imprint condensed from purely from her martial will. The huge palm imprint seemed to want to encompass the entire Imperial Capital. It was as if the overwhelming power wanted to annihilate and crush the entire southeastern part of the continent.
