Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping's expressions became extremely ugly when they reached that conclusion. At that moment, they had already realised that if the Rain Abbess did not let them leave, they would probably die here today.
This was because the Rain Abbess had already fused with the formation. She was equivalent to the ruler of the world within the formation. Unless they could destroy the formation, it was impossible for them to escape. Even if they possessed some ancient and powerful escape techniques, they would be useless in the Rain Abbess' formation.
This was because the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood was no ordinary formation. Once the formation was complete, it was equivalent to creating a world of its own, completely separating it from the outside world.
As for destroying the formation, let alone Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi, even if they worked together with Gongsun Zhi, they would not be able to do it with the Rain Abbess' strength and the might she had displayed.
"Y- you can actually catch my Godslayer's sword with your bare hands?" Gongsun Zhi's shocked voice rang out from the bright light.
He knew exactly how powerful Godslayer's sword was. He even knew the origins of Godslayer's sword. It was exactly because of that that he was shocked by how the Rain Abbess was able to use his sword empty-handed.
After all, this God-Slaying Sword was a weapon formed by the leader of the nine retainers who had followed his ancestor in the past. His physical body, his cultivation, and all of his essence, qi, and spirit condensed into this God-Slaying Sword in his hand.
According to the bits and pieces he heard from the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance, the leader of the nine retainers in the past was a supreme expert who had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime.
Even though he was unable to unleash the full power of Godslayer's sword with his current cultivation, he believed that it was impossible for someone else to catch it with their bare hands so easily.
"Could it be that you think no one can stop you just because of this sword? The sword is very powerful, but it's a pity that the wielder is too weak, "said the Rain Abbess. Her voice was filled with deep disdain.
With that, the Rain Abbess extended her other hand from the power of clouds and rain, gently striking towards Gongsun Zhiyin.
Her palm strike seemed to be like a gentle breeze brushing past a willow tree. It did not contain the slightest bit of smoke or fire, nor did it contain the slightest bit of energy fluctuation. However, when she struck out with her palm, it gave the illusion that the entire space, or even the entire world, contained the power of this palm strike.
It was as if what the Rain Abbess had struck out was not a single palm strike, but a strike from the entire world.
Nearby, the expressions of Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi both changed. Their eyes immediately narrowed as they stared at the Rain Abbess' hand. As Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, their senses were extremely sharp. They could sense the invisible power of destruction from the Rain Abbess' gentle hand. The power was so great that it shocked the two of them.
When the Rain Abbess' hand landed on Gongsun Zhi's protective light, the layer of light condensed from the power of Godslayer's sword seemed to suffer a heavy blow. The entire barrier caved in.
It was also at this moment that a supreme power erupted from the Rain Abbess' seemingly powerless hand. It was as violent as a tsunami. Under the Rain Abbess' precise control, the power immediately condensed into a droplet of rain as Gongsun Zhi's protective light caved in. It shot out like a sword with shocking power in an attempt to pierce Gongsun Zhi's defences.
With Gongsun Zhi's cultivation as a mere Divine King, he would definitely die from the Rain Abbess' astonishing attack if he did not have the protection of his protective sword. Even the slightest ripple would be enough to kill him.
"Oh no, the Rain Abbess wants to kill Gongsun Zhi." Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi's hearts immediately tightened when they saw this. They became worried.
They did not care about Gongsun Zhi's fate. What they truly cared about was Gongsun Zhi's promise to them, which was to bestow the remaining protector swords in the Tower of Radiance to the juniors of their clans who had already become Hallowed Saint Masters.
If Gongsun Zhi died here, everything they had done on the Cloud Plane this time would have been for nothing.
The droplet of rain with astonishing power was like a sharp awl, causing Gongsun Zhi's protective light to cave in.
The powerful defences that Gongsun Zhi took pride in had actually been shaken by the Rain Abbess.
Within the protective light, Gongsun Zhi stared at the droplet of rain that gradually approached him. He sensed the astonishing power within the droplet of rain, and his face finally changed. He became extremely frightened. His heart had risen to his throat, and undisguised fear filled his eyes.
"The light is about to break. It's about to break. I don't know where this Rain Abbess came from. H- how is she so powerful? Hold on, hold on. You have to hold on. Godslayer's sword, you were the most powerful retainer under the ancestor's command in the past. You have to hold on, you have to hold on …" Gongsun Zhi lost his composure as he prayed inside.
At this moment, he truly felt the threat of death. This made his heart tremble, and fear grew in his heart.
Moreover, even Godslayer's sword had been firmly grabbed by the Rain Abbess, preventing Gongsun Zhi from retrieving it. As a result, he could only watch as the protective light around Godslayer's sword was constantly suppressed. There was nothing he could do right now.
The Rain Abbess' presence continued to rise. The energy within her erupted violently, condensing into the droplet of rain, providing it with endless energy. Even the power of the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood that had been cast down there had been added to it. In the end, not only did the droplet's energy not decrease during its stalemate with Gongsun Zhi's barrier, but it instead became even more powerful.
Xu Zhiping, Huangfu Guiyi, and the others were basically ignored by the Rain Abbess. Instead, Gongsun Zhi became the Rain Abbess' greatest target.
However, the Rain Abbess was enveloped by the power of clouds and rain, so no one could see her face clearly. Otherwise, they would have discovered that her cold eyes were filled with killing intent.
However, when only a thin layer of holy light remained around Gongsun Zhi, an extremely ancient will seemed to slowly awaken from its slumber within the God-Slaying Sword.
At that moment, Godslayer's sword in Gongsun Zhi's hand seemed to suddenly become alive. It suddenly turned from an inanimate object into a living creature.
With the awakening of the ancient will, Godslayer's sword suddenly shone brightly, becoming even more dazzling than the sun in a single instance. The barrier of light that had almost been destroyed by the Rain Abbess was filled with a tremendous amount of energy as well, rapidly stabilising. At the same time, it slowly pushed back the droplet of water that possessed astonishing power.
The protective light had returned to its original state.
Moreover, its defences were much more powerful than before.
The awakening of the will did not increase the power of Godslayer's sword. It only provided it with greater protection.
The Rain Abbess snorted coldly. With a thought, countless bolts of lightning immediately surged out from the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood. Every single bolt of lightning was like a dragon. They moved together in a tremendous fashion, all striking Gongsun Zhi's protective light.
