Chapter 6226: What Is She?
Princess Chen was gorgeous but in this woman's presence, she became immensely ugly. Others felt bad and couldn't stare at her, not wanting to incite her sense of inferiority.
After the initial astonishment, they finally saw a broken blade piercing through her chest. It has been there long enough for blood to dry. However, a black miasma remained around it.
Just little strands of this dark energy instilled a primal fear. They could devour the body and soul, seemingly emanating from a bottomless abyss.
She must have been infected long ago; her meridians and soul trapped. Her eyes were closed, seemingly asleep. Was this due to the blade?
The young geniuses still stared at her in amazement, unable to regain their wits. Li Qiye, on the other hand, had a serious expression while glancing at the blade.
"W-who are you?" Willow and Poplar got up.
Although they were pulverized earlier, desolate gods could recover as long as their true fate and dao power were still around. They were grievously wounded but could still fight.
However, her strength and enigmatic appearance weakened their morale and battle spirit.
"Can't be a ghost..." Orchidcore murmured.
"A ghost can't be this beautiful, no, even a fairy can't be this beautiful." Princess Chen said, finding flaws in her appearance for the first time.
"She... she..." Li Xian stammered and couldn't finish his sentence.
"What is it?" Princess Chen said.
Li Xian took a deep breath before continuing: "She is our progenitor."
"Your progenitor... Progenitor Xuansu?!" Orchidcore and the princess were startled.
Li Xian rubbed his eyes and took another look: "Yes, that's right."
He had seen her portrait before. However, it was unable to express her matchless presence.
Li Xuansu - both her name and her title. This was a rare occurrence often reserved for the greatest cultivators. They didn't need further embellishment to their legends; just their true name said it all.
"Progenitor Xuansu!" Willow and Poplar have heard of her before.
She was an ancient progenitor, a member of the Decemvirate on the same level as Gao Yang and Baihui. She participated in numerous wars and battles without dying - a testament to her ability.
Desolate gods such as themselves were nothing compared to her. They wondered about her current state - was she dead already?
Nevertheless, this also seemed like a state of slumber.
"Go!" The duo immediately turned to flee. Her current state didn't matter. Dead or alive, she could crush them in the blink of an eye.
She reacted by waving her hand, reaching through the void. It appeared before them for an attack.
"Die!" The duo released their sacred fruits and mustered all of their strength.
One utilized a green bamboo while the other channeled boundless energy waves, performing their strongest technique.
Alas, the palm crushed everything and turned them into blood.
"Ahh!" The sacred fruits were reduced to dust. It only took one palm strike for her to kill them.
"Ancestor." Li Xian calmed down and kneeled before his progenitor.
Alas, her eyes remained closed.
"What kind of state is this?" Princess Chen was afraid.
If she could open her eyes and reveal a state of living, they would willingly revere her. Alas, they didn't know if she was alive, dead, or a ghost.
Moreover, this empty state was frightening. If she could kill the two desolate gods, she could also kill them.
