Chapter 229: The World’s Strongest Shining Species!!!
“BOOM!!!!”
In an instant, with the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s grand entrance and Calamity Sun’s Weapon Species awakening, two awe-inspiring shockwaves of shining energy collided in a deafening roar.
A terrifying blast, like a raging sun, erupted outwards, its blinding light instantly flattening the meteorite’s surface.
Countless spectators were left speechless by the Shining Species’ radiant aura. Those from other Bubble Pet Beast Worlds, witnessing a Shining Species for the first time, were especially awestruck.
Even those familiar with the “Shining Moonlight Rabbit” were shocked.
After all, only the original Beast Tamers from the Bubble Pet Beast World had seen Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal, hadn’t yet made a public appearance.
They only knew that Lian Xing had defeated Drought, one of the Four Great Calamities.
Meanwhile…
After the initial shock, only a few Pet Beasts at the pinnacle of the Moon Soul World realized the true significance of this event.
With the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s entrance, two of Seven-Stringed Lyre Star’s miracles had been consumed at once!
Nether Concubine and Qianqiu, Tai Yin, who had been observing, the Divine Machine within Lian Xing, and the Guardians, including Moonwalker, all stared in disbelief.
“What happened!?”
“What kind of miracle requires two at once!?” Qianqiu murmured incredulously.
With such a high concentration of True Spirit involvement, her ability to foresee the future and run simulations became increasingly unreliable.
But to use two of a True Spirit’s miracles at once…
Just what level had this Shining Moonlight Rabbit reached!?
Under everyone’s gaze, within the two scorching shockwaves, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s steel sword casket opened like a peacock’s tail, revealing the seven swords within.
Each sword pulsed with a lifelike, silver radiance.
Their gazes met.
Looking at the unyielding, golden-bunned girl, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother sighed.
“Star Concubine, I didn’t expect us to face each other so soon…”
“I thought you were Star Goddess’s successor, but you’ve far surpassed the path we once walked.”
“I can’t help but wonder, if I had eliminated you at the Six-pointed Star Banquet, what would the world be like now?”
“…”
“…”
After a long silence, the golden-bunned girl chuckled softly, the stars in her eyes shimmering.
“It’s not a matter of wanting to or not. Even if you could go back in time, you wouldn’t attack me preemptively.”
“Because you’re a Shining Species. A Shining Species wouldn’t do such a thing!”
“A Shining Species… wouldn’t fear an enemy…”
As Lian Xing spoke, time seemed to freeze in the Lunar Divine Festival arena.
Moments later, Star Goddess, who resembled Lian Xing, waved her hand, giving Sharp Edge Seven King Mother the command to attack.
“Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!!!”
A deafening chorus of sword cries echoed.
Seven magnificent, dreamlike flying swords shot out like missiles, piercing through everyone’s vision, appearing as fleeting comets in the Lunar Divine Festival’s projected image.
Too fast for ordinary eyes to perceive, they blurred across their vision, their tips striking the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s aura.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
A blinding shockwave, spanning billions of miles, erupted, obliterating the space between Star Goddess and Lian Xing.
A large gash appeared in Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal’s protective aura, the sharp blade nearly piercing the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s forehead.
Just in time, the golden-haired rabbit woman swung her arms, her countless golden rabbit ears swirling behind her, forming a throwing motion.
[Lunar Path 0°]
“BOOM!!!!!”
An overwhelming, invisible force collided with the seven flying swords.
Within the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s aura, everything was subject to Lunar Path 0°’s unconditional throw.
Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal’s realm was far below Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s.
However, as she swung her sleeves…
The black and white Calamity Sun, in its yin-yang star form, activated, its terrifying destructive force negating the flying swords’ impact.
Like a higher-dimensional, curved cubic shield, it rotated erratically around the Shining Rabbit, providing 360-degree protection.
It had transformed from a thrown weapon into a protective bubble.
Within Lunar Path 0°’s range, Calamity Sun’s aura could be activated without physically throwing it.
This meant every attack, every ripple of the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s aura, was equivalent to throwing Calamity Sun itself.
After several clashes, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s flying swords failed to penetrate.
Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal, combined with the awakened Monarch-Tier Calamity Sun, Neverending Tower, was evenly matched against Sharp Edge Seven King Mother in her base form!
As long as Sharp Edge Seven King Mother didn’t activate her Triple Awakening, they could fight indefinitely.
However, Star Goddess wasn’t playing games.
Her goal was to conquer the entire Lunar Divine Festival.
This meant that after defeating the Shining Moonlight Rabbit, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother still had to defeat the victors of the other two battles, as well as all the Pet Beasts of Tai Yin, Ice Queen, and Nether Concubine.
As one of the strongest individual combatants, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother was capable of this.
After a moment of thought, Star Goddess made a decision.
Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, an aura beyond comprehension erupted from Sharp Edge Seven King Mother.
Time seemed to freeze. Ice Queen, Tai Yin, Nether Concubine, the Divine Machine… even Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, battling the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit on another planet, sensed this terrifyingly familiar aura.
A radiant, silver aura shattered the sky.
“Shining · Emperor · Star Rank · Triple Awakening!!!!!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”
A torrential downpour of sword light, like a thunderous storm, filled the starry sky. Chilling sword rain descended upon the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s aura, forming a massive chasm.
Countless silver swords filled the sky and the area outside the shining aura.
Then…
A silver-haired woman with sword-shaped pupils and various weapons strapped to her back emerged from the center of the radiant shockwave.
Under Lian Xing’s wary gaze, the Triple Awakened Seven King Mother walked towards them silently.
A chilling silence descended.
Lian Xing, having experienced Triple Awakening herself, knew the absurd power difference between a Shining Species’ base and awakened forms.
A moment of carelessness could lead to instant defeat!
So…
“…”
“…”
“Hum—”
A strange sword cry echoed, and time froze.
As Tai Yin, Ice Queen, and Nether Concubine watched with apprehension, a simple flash of sword light filled their vision.
Without warning, after the flash, the silver-haired woman, sword in hand, appeared behind the Shining Moonlight Rabbit, entering Lunar Path 0°’s range.
Countless cuts appeared on the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s aura and the surrounding space, the image itself seeming to tear.
The silver sword rain in the sky paused.
Within the sword chasm, all space particles and Pet Essence were cleaved, as if dimensions themselves had frozen.
“Whoosh—”
Golden blood erupted from the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s skin.
Her face contorted in shock as countless cuts appeared on her body, even Calamity Sun’s light dimming.
The golden-bunned, starry-eyed girl’s calm expression froze.
Unable to block a single blow…?
How!?
When Lian Xing had used the Triple Awakening cheat herself, she had effortlessly pitted her Royal-Tier Shining Moonlight Rabbit against the Myriad-Level Legendary Cloud-Touching Ksitigarbha.
Now, facing the same power, she felt it was unfair.
But complaints and shock aside, Lian Xing wasn’t foolish enough to stand idle during such a battle. She snapped her fingers, intending to have Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring restore the Shining Moonlight Rabbit.
But as Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring shimmered—
“Hum—”
Another crisp sword cry.
Without any movement, any warning—
A flash of sword light. The silver-haired woman’s eyes blazed with lightning as her blade, amidst the silver rain, struck Lian Xing’s angelic halo.
“Crack!!!”
As everyone stared in disbelief, Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring shattered.
Amidst the explosion of countless mechanical parts, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother remained standing in the silver sword rain, her speed and thought process so fast that everything else seemed to pause.
Like the Moon Soul World, with its different flow of time…
The next instant, seeing a green light emanating from the golden-haired girl, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother struck again, leaving a deep gash on Emperor-Tier Mist Colt, Azure Sky Jade Soaring Firmament.
“…”
“…”
“What the hell!?” Tai Yin muttered incredulously.
What was this Sharp Edge Seven King Mother? Even with her dynamic vision and processing speed, she couldn’t perceive her movements!
The moment she spoke, Tai Yin regretted it.
The rules forbade ganging up, but not being ganged up on.
As expected, before she could finish her sentence, silver sword light engulfed her, flinging her off the meteorite.
“Whoosh—!!!!!”
A second later, time resumed.
Sharp Edge Seven King Mother stood at the center of the battlefield, calmly sheathing her sword.
Four sword lights erupted around the Lunar Divine Festival arena.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!”
As the audience watched in stunned silence, countless silver cuts appeared on the Shining Moonlight Rabbit, Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring, Azure Sky Jade Soaring Firmament, and even the unrelated Tai Yin.
The entire arena was filled with the visual effects of exploding silver sword cuts, as if even the rain itself had been cleaved, not a single particle of Pet Essence left unscathed.
Tai Yin, a mere spectator, was sent flying, crashing onto another planet billions of miles away.
On Lian Xing’s side, only Azure Sky Jade Soaring Firmament, though severely wounded, still clung to life. The Shining Moonlight Rabbit and Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring were on the brink of death.
Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring couldn’t even repair itself.
Sharp Edge Seven King Mother no longer allowed any other Pet Essence to manifest on this battlefield.
Any appearance of Pet Essence was a challenge to her!
Seeing this horrifying scene, the audience fell silent.
Would Lian Xing, after such a flawless run, be defeated in this fourth round?
Against the Triple Awakened Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, she was powerless…
Under everyone’s gaze, though pale and shaken, Lian Xing’s reaction wasn’t as drastic as expected.
“Almost…”
“Just a little bit more…”
Facing the terrifying Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, the golden-haired girl’s lips moved slightly, as if muttering to herself.
Meanwhile, the supposedly dead Shining Moonlight Rabbit stubbornly clung to life.
Though the light in her eyes had faded and her Shining Crystal was shattered, she wasn’t declared defeated, remaining frozen in a bizarre, rigid posture.
Then, the transformation began…
