Inside the palace, a phoenix cry rang out, and a powerful aura came roaring forth!
It was the fluctuation of a True Immortal.
"Oh, she's broken through to the True Immortal Realm."
Huang Yuyi was slightly surprised, then grew even more displeased.
Although she was now a True Immortal too, she could sense that the other woman's aura was stronger than hers had been when she first broke through!
In other words, if she had faced Chu Hong when she had just become a True Immortal, she would very likely have lost!

Neither their desire for Huang Jinghuang's inheritance nor the pride carved into their bones would allow them to retreat.
"It's fine. I'm here."
