Shuanghua could scarcely believe her ears.
A backwater independent cultivator who had not even entered the Heaven-Grasping Realm had dared claim he would storm a supreme Dao lineage with unfathomable reserves...
Here, in the Cold Sea Continent, someone had actually said such a thing!
Someone had actually dared to say it!
Her hair hung loose, half her face was badly swollen, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth onto her snow-white cloak. Shock and fury filled her eyes.
"Boy, your ignorance is downright pitiful."
"You'll say anything just to win a moment's advantage!"
Clearly, this man had no idea what the name Cold Purity Palace meant here!
Meanwhile, above the Seaside Residence...
Ye Li's audacious declaration sent the sky trembling violently for thousands of miles.
Rumble!
Deep within the clouds, purple-black lightning could vaguely be seen churning and roaring.
The terrifying weight of karma descending from the unseen seemed like a colossal, invisible eye, coldly watching this stretch of sea.
The True Source World's laws were strict, and heaven resonated with mortals.
The words of high-level cultivators often stirred the energies of heaven and earth.
Had the Supreme Grade earth art [Buzhou Stabilization] not isolated and concealed this region, such hostile words aimed directly at one of the continent's supreme Dao lineages would surely have stirred unseen karma.
They would then have drawn the gaze of some mighty existence deep within the Cold Sea Continent!
"...Please reconsider, Prefect."
Inside the hall, Lu Shusheng watched the churning tribulation clouds, profound apprehension flashing in his eyes.
Unable to help himself, he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said gravely:
"This is a matter of enormous consequence."
"The Cold Purity Palace's reserves are unfathomable. Even without my spelling it out, you must understand the dangers that will follow..."
Danger?
Of course
