Fang Xingjian also revealed a grim countenance when he saw the Crown Princess.
He had performed a high-level dimensional attack from the Sword Realm. Being able to neglect the application of any kind of energy, he directly struck the source of the other party's martial will.
With that, he would be able to directly use his martial will that was at a super high level of 8, 500 points to crush his opponent.
Additionally, although the Plenary Foundation Septet's fatty, Hei Zi, and other members had soared rapidly in terms of their realm over the past 1, 000 years, their martial wills had been converted into life span incessantly and become extremely weakened.
In fact, this was also the objective of Saint Adam and the others who sealed them up. They had wanted to weaken the septet's source through time, slowly depleting it until died.
However, in the earlier exchange with the Crown Princess, to think that Fang Xingjian had no advantage at all despite having a martial will of 8, 500 points? This meant that the Crown Princess' martial will was definitely not below his.
Moreover, this was the result after the other party had been weakened over 1000 years. How strong was the Crown Princess 1, 000 years ago then?
It was no wonder that Saint Adam, the Formidable Divine King, Pope, and the Tulip Dynasty who had unified the continent had decided to join forces. Despite that, they had only managed to seal the Plenary Foundation Septet, slowly wearing them down through time.
The Crown Princess was probably the person with the greatest threat level amongst the Plenary Foundation Septet.
However, the Crown Princess looked at Fang Xingjian with great interest. She licked her bright red lips and said, "To think that there's still such an interesting man even after 1, 000 years have passed...
"How is it? If you're willing to marry me and become my man, I can consider sparing your life."
The Crown Princess' words were filled with an imperial dominance, giving off a feeling of 'if I can't do it, nobody can'. It was as if everything in the world was in her grasp.
To be honest, it was true that she was also very surprised by Fang Xingjian's strength. After all, although she was not as strong as how she had been 1, 000 years ago, she had still regained a portion of her strength.
In fact, ever since she had been sealed up 1, 000 years ago, she had been trying to find a chance to break out all this while.
Ten years ago when the seal weakened a little, she depleted the remaining 99% of her powers to perform the art of reincarnation and resurrection to break out of the seal, becoming Maria.
Over the next ten or so years, worried that the Church of Universal Truth would notice her escape, she allowed this body to grow up, forming a fake persona to live on. The Crown Princess herself had remained concealed in the greatest depths of Maria's consciousness, entering a slumber while slowly regaining her powers.
After the world's metamorphosis, the ether particles density soared tremendously and her recovery rate increased in leaps and bounds.
Each of the other six members of the Plenary Foundation Septet had a demonic seed planted in them by her, and their life and death were all within her grasp. This was why they thought of breaking the seal to save her. However, they were unaware that she had already escaped by her own means.
However, it was also due to the Plenary Foundation Septet breaking out from the confinement and the demonic seeds undergoing abnormal movements that the Crown Princess was slowly stimulated into awakening. Over the past few months, the martial arts of the Crown Princess' fake persona had also increased in leaps and bounds.
With the Plenary Foundation Septet dying one after another in today's battle in the Imperial Capital, the annihilation of the demonic seeds she had planted stimulated her continuously until she woke up completely. Otherwise, she would probably have only been able to truly awaken after having regained all of her powers.
Despite this, having cultivated and recuperated for ten or more years and even coming across the world's metamorphosis, she had managed to recover a portion of her powers that she had from 1, 000 years ago.
It would seem extremely natural if the Crown Princess' domineering words of wanting Fang Xingjian to be married to her had been said by an emperor to a beauty. However, it gave Fang Xingjian an extremely strange feeling when it was being said to him by a charming and ravishing lady.
Seeming to have comprehended the strange expression revealed in Fang Xingjian's gaze, the Crown Princess let out a snort and said calmly, "You can't accept this? If I were a man and you were a woman, would you feel that what I said earlier was totally logical?
"The only reason you find it strange is not my strength or background but merely that I'm a woman and you're a man. Am I right?"
Fang Xingjian did not reply, but given his attitude, the Crown Princess took his silence as consent.
The Crown Princess sighed, "I thought that you wouldn't be such a stick in the mud since you're able to break out of the limits of this continent's martial arts, creating a path of your own that no one has taken before.
"By the looks of it, you're still constrained by the mortal world's values."
Hearing the Crown Princess' words, the countenances of both Hei Zi and Bai Zi changed. It was because they had a deep understanding of how terrifying this leader of theirs was. They also knew well that what she detested the most was being treated differently just because she was a woman, regardless of if it was because they did not think well of her or that they thought too well of her.
At the thought of this, the Crown Princess' background appeared in Hei Zi's mind.
The Crown Princess had been born to a secular dynasty in the Western Land. Moreover, it had been into a royal family. She had led a life of luxury and extravagances, doted on by many since young.
Despite this, the Crown Princess had displayed unparalleled talent starting from a young age. Be it in literature or martial arts cultivation, she had improved at a tremendous rate, far surpassing her other brothers, both elder and younger.
It was just that her status as a woman ultimately still restricted her growth.
During the year she turned 18, she was wedded out by her father while her brothers started competing for the position of Crown Prince.
That year, the Crown Princess killed her husband on the night of their wedding. She then killed her way into the Imperial Capital and asked her father one question.
"Why can't a woman become a Crown Prince or be an Emperor?"
Although the Crown Princess had astonishing and unparalleled talent, she was still too young and suppressed by many of the dynasty's experts.
Then just as she had been about to be executed, an important character in the higher world outside of the Western Land's secular dynasty took a liking to her aptitude.
...
After the Crown Princess finished speaking, the cloud layers in the sky above the Imperial Capital started to seethe, and dark clouds started to cover the sky.
As the cloud layers seethed, streams of cold wind descended. The entire world seemed to have become solemn, filled with a cold and lonely feeling.
At the sight of this, Fang Xingjian's brows furrowed slightly. It was because from his high dimensional viewpoint, neither the wind nor clouds had been oppressed by martial will. Instead, they were changing together with the Crown Princess' emotions.
The Crown Princess moved, and hints of golden light glowed all over her body. At this moment, it was as if her words were the law that could determine other people's life or death. She seemed to be standing between yin and yang, capable of causing the entire world to change.
Simultaneously, the world seethed and the entire stretch of space seemed to tremble with the Crown Princess' martial will, and her voice filled up the entire place.
"Fang Xingjian, since you are unwilling to become my man, die."
As she spoke, a golden light burst out, turning into a big golden hand that slapped out fiercely toward Fang Xingjian.
"Take this attack from me. Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint!"
It was an attack that did not rely on any external forces, using a great palm imprint condensed from purely from her martial will. The huge palm imprint seemed to want to encompass the entire Imperial Capital. It was as if the overwhelming power wanted to annihilate and crush the entire southeastern part of the continent.
