Chapter 3048: The World of Canglan (1/2)
The Rain Abbess said nothing, just hovering in space and staring at Mo Tianyun emotionlessly. Only the light in her eyes flickered frome time to time, clearly hesitating over something.
She was also weighing the costs and benefits inside. Despite already knowing that Mo Tianyun possessed a sovereign god artifact that was highly compatible with him, the Rain Abbess did not show any fear whatsoever.
The sovereign god artifact was very powerful. In particular, an expert like Mo Tianyun could unleash even greater power when he had such a sovereign god artifact in his hands. However, she also understood just how terrifying the power within her golden scale was. She was confident that the moment she released the golden scale, she would definitely be able to overwhelm Mo Tianyun who wielded the sovereign god artifact.
However, as soon as she considered the price she would have to pay to use the golden scale, the Rain Abbess became extremely hesitant.
She could not use the power of the golden scale until she faced a moment of life or death!
Using the power of the golden scale for only the heavenly resources that the Empyrean Demon Cult had stolen in the past was indeed not a good idea.
The Innate Orchid of Five Elements contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi was extremely precious, but it was not enough for her to use the golden scale and throw her life at him.
Most importantly, the Rain Abbess understood that she could not prevent the Empyrean Demon Lord from leaving even if she used the golden scale’s power. If he was determined to leave, there was nothing she could do about a powerful opponent who wielded a sovereign god artifact.
Not only did the golden scale’s power come at a drastic price, but it could not be sustained either!
After a short stalemate, the Rain Abbess’ blanketing presence finally subsided gradually. Even her realm of cultivation plummeted, falling from the Seventh Heavenly Layer to the Sixth, and then from the Sixth to the Fifth.
In a single moment, the Rain Abbess, who had still been brimming with battle prowess, had returned to the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
As her strength fell, the silver scale and the bronze scale on her neck reappeared.
The Rain Abbess’s response made Mo Tianyun let out a sigh of relief. He smiled slightly at ease and noted in a light mood, “It’s already been a very long time since someone’s forced me to go so far. Even the commander of the divine generals from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was not qualified to make me use my full strength. However, not only have you forced me to use my full strength, but I’ve even taken out the sovereign god artifact, Rain Abbess. Your strength has truly exceeded my estimates.”
Mo Tianyun gazed at the sharp claw that had been forged to the thickness of a cicada wind. It was hovering in his hand. With mixed feelings, he sighed and said, “Ever since I’ve obtained this sovereign god artifact, I’ve never truly used its powers, nor do I want to use it, as certain people might sense me through special abilities once I do.”
“Fortunately, you held back in time, Rain Abbess. Otherwise, you really would have put me in a tough spot.” Mo Tianyun smiled wryly.
“Get to the point. You need to give me a satisfying response with regards to the losses your Empyrean Demon Cult caused to my Cloudsurge Empire back then. If not, I’ll never spare you. I might be powerless about you right now, but once I completely merge with the power of the first two seals, overwhelming you will be a piece of cake. By then, I’ll be able to use the power of the third seal as I please too,” the Rain Abbess said coldly.
“Merge?” Mo Tianyun’s eyes shone when he heard that. He stared at the Rain Abbess with great interest and said sternly, “Don’t tell me you can completely convert the power behind the seals into your own strength?”
