Chapter 231: The Name of the Snow Monarch
–Cangsheng Palace, First Saint Court
Dust filled the air, everything annihilated.
A black crescent moon slashed through, vaporizing everything within hundreds of kilometers, leaving no trace of blood.
This single strike, infused with the Water Element’s black teardrop, was a force of nature, capable of wiping out all life.
The Wind Realm army, responsible for logistics, stared in shock at the empty, desolate landscape before them.
They were only two or three kilometers away from the camp. They had almost been annihilated!
And the only one capable of stopping the black Water Element, its former master, the Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace, was also… gone.
The entire Cang Realm… no life remaining.
Witnessing this, the Wind Realm Spirit Masters, overwhelmed by the sheer power, lost all hope.
Such terrifying power… this Water Element was clearly not in a weakened state. It was even more powerful than they had imagined. Their mission was a suicide mission!
Because of Gong Lianyue’s confrontation with the Water Element earlier, the Wind Realm was now desperately trying to gather information about this woman, but before they could even get any news, she was gone…
However, at this very moment—
A Wind Realm Spirit Master, using a support-type sound transmission spirit beast to communicate with the main camp, stared in disbelief at the screen displaying the latest information.
This was the latest news from the Sea Region. How was this possible?!
What was going on? This was even more bizarre than the events of the past few months in the Wind Realm!
It was utterly unbelievable!
A companion noticed the Spirit Master’s expression and glanced at the screen. At first, she seemed indifferent, her expression blank, but then her face twisted in horror, her mouth opening wide enough to swallow a rabbit.
The anomaly spread, drawing the attention of all nearby.
The entire page of the information report was concise, only a few lines of text.
But these few lines were enough to shake the entire spirit world.
[The Pool of Hidden Secrets Spirit Master, revived after a thousand years, has caused an anomaly in the Ranking Battle’s final round, drawing the Snow Monarch.]
[Within five minutes, the 49 strongest young Spirit Masters in the secret realm were annihilated, only the Sorrowful Saintess Gong Lianyue remaining.]
[The Sorrowful Saintess consumed a Heart Severing Pill, severing all her spirit beast contracts and expelling them from the secret realm, then was frozen in ice by the Snow Monarch.]
[…][…]
Anyone reading this would likely be shocked by the Snow Monarch’s arrival.
A titled legendary being, a symbol of power known throughout the spirit world, a legendary creature at the pinnacle of countless war zones.
The Pool of Hidden Secrets’ suicidal actions were nothing new, but this was a new level of recklessness.
They had seen factions destroy themselves before, but the Pool of Hidden Secrets was trying to take down a legendary being.
And the next few lines… they completely shattered their understanding of the world.
[The Sorrowful Saintess broke free from the ice in less than seven seconds.]
[The being that appeared behind her was: the legendary-rank, Martial Empress, Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake!!]
[After a half-minute clash, the Jade Concubine retreated.]
[And the Sorrowful Saintess—]
The Sorrowful Saintess, the Sorrowful Saintess, the Sorrowful Saintess…
Due to the urgency of the situation, the Wind Realm army, stationed at the Cangsheng Palace, was the last to receive this information. The moment the news spread, the Sorrowful Saintess’s name echoed throughout the surrounding war zones.
The Sorrowful Saintess had actually gained the Snow Monarch’s recognition!!!!
After the master of the Illusion Sea Concubine and the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, the Sorrowful Saintess was the third Spirit Master in tens of thousands of years to receive the ice flower wedding ring!!!
This represented the Snow Monarch’s favor, its protection, its affection, and… the right to summon it!
This single event would have a profound impact on the surrounding war zones, a shift in power not seen since the Snow Monarch’s last appearance, drawing the world towards the seemingly insignificant Sea Region.
In the eyes of countless realms, this meant the Sea Region was now officially under the protection of the Nether Snow Sacred Domain!!
No, no, no, wait. Didn’t this mean…?
An eerie silence fell, a sense of unease.
Everyone stared at the area where the dust had settled.
As the dust cleared, revealing the life within the void.
A blue-haired girl with teardrop eyes, her expression unchanged, stood amidst the falling snow, her two large buns gone, revealing her beautiful face with six shimmering teardrops.
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess!
Despite the terrifying, despairing attack, she hadn’t lost a single strand of hair!
At some point, the oppressive aura had been replaced by falling snow.
A terrifying blizzard, covering hundreds of kilometers, a desolate, white landscape, its coldness piercing to the bone.
Then, as they shifted their gaze to the Sorrowful Saintess’s side, their hearts and their breaths stopped.
“…”
“…”
A woman in a white wedding dress, a shroud-like garment, stood silently, her beautiful face hidden behind a veil, two strangely comical water cat ears protruding.
Her flawless, pale skin, like fresh water and white jade, her beauty mesmerizing.
And in the void behind her, a tail, formed from water, a faint cat tail, swayed gently, strangely adorable, seemingly alive.
Likely supported by Gong Lianyue’s spirit energy, the Snow Monarch’s aura at this moment was weaker than before, barely at the Dead Sea Stage.
However, the terrifying aura it radiated still filled the entire Cangsheng Palace.
At this moment, the black Water Element’s aura surged.
And in the distance, Hong Xiaoqianyu, watching, felt an indescribable dread.
Only despair remained.
Their existence was invincible, one of the most terrifying combinations in the spirit world.
The titled legendary being, the Snow Monarch!
The Overlord legendary being, the Eternal Holy Water!
Chapter 232: The True Identity of the Water Element
–Cangsheng Palace, First Saint Court
At this moment, the area for hundreds of kilometers around the First Saint Court was covered in snow.
The terrifying snowscape, stretching to the horizon, was a desolate, white beauty, its bone-chilling cold threatening to freeze one’s consciousness.
The woman in the pure white wedding dress, a shroud-like garment, stood in silence, her beautiful face hidden behind a veil, her cold aura terrifying.
Such a perfect, invincible form, the pinnacle of evolution!
The only strange thing was the cute, cat-like water ears and tail on her head and backside.
The Snow Monarch, a legendary-rank spirit beast!
Although its aura seemed weaker than before, two legendary beings were now present, in their most perfect combat forms!
The appearance of the Snow Monarch and the Eternal Holy Water plunged everyone into a state of bewildered terror.
At the same time, the ice flower wedding ring on Gong Lianyue’s ring finger slowly dimmed, as if losing its life force.
Under countless disbelieving gazes, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl simply looked at the black Water Element before her, her thoughts unknown.
Thud!
Thud!
Suddenly, the Snow Monarch and the Water Element stepped forward simultaneously.
The next second, black and white energies clashed, a terrifying roar, like a missile blast, erupting, devastating the surrounding area.
The closer they got, the more terrifying the roar.
Only the blue-haired girl, protected by the Snow Monarch’s aura, remained unharmed.
However, as they drew closer, the Water Element’s body began to change, transforming to resist the Snow Monarch’s power.
Crack—
A shadowy afterimage, like flowing water, appeared behind it, and two pairs of black, ink-like moth wings sprouted from its back.
Ink droplets dripped from the wings, forming a strange lake at its feet, spreading outwards.
Terror, despair, darkness. This chaotic spirit energy was terrifying.
Seeing the black Water Element’s transformation, the Snow Monarch’s aura intensified, its expression hardening.
[…][…][So it’s you][…][…]
After a moment of silence, the Snow Monarch took another step forward.
At the same time, the water cat ears and tail on its head and backside became clearer, radiating a powerful aura.
And the Water Element also clenched the shadowy demonic blade in its hand, stepping forward, its aura intensifying.
The two legendary beings, facing each other at point-blank range, their auras clashing, the air itself solidifying.
Legendary-rank Water Element and the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner.
Legendary-rank Snow Monarch and the Eternal Holy Water.
Swish!
Clang—
In the blink of an eye, both figures vanished, their auras dissipating.
Looking at the empty battlefield, the Wind Realm forces were confused.
“Where did they go…?”
Even if they couldn’t understand the battle between legendary beings, they shouldn’t have just… disappeared.
However, the blue-haired girl, still standing there, her expression unchanged, was also bewildered by the hundreds of white hairs scattered on the ground.
Based on the battle between the Snow Monarch and the Jade Concubine, she had a basic understanding of the Snow Monarch’s power.
Falling hair meant the world stopped.
This meant that in that brief moment, while their consciousness was frozen, the battle had already ended…
—
Meanwhile, in a mysterious, icy space, invisible to the outside world…
The entire space was filled with solidified ice, no spirit energy, no objects, no life.
The black Water Element, holding the demonic blade, walked through this strange world, encountering no obstacles.
And behind it, the Snow Monarch, with its water cat ears and tail, followed, the two legendary beings strolling as if in a park.
However, understanding the meaning of this scene revealed a terrifying truth.
The Water Element was walking within the Eternal Holy Water’s body!
The Eternal Holy Water represented eternity.
Anything touched by the Eternal Holy Water could never be erased!
This meant that the ice created by the Snow Monarch, reinforced by the Eternal Holy Water, would never melt, not in a million years.
Impenetrable, indestructible. This was the source of the Ice Coffin’s material.
But the Water Element had not only destroyed the Ice Coffin, but was now walking freely within the Eternal Holy Water’s body, an unbelievable feat!
“An enemy…”
A voice, filled with a strange melancholy, echoed from the Water Monarch’s water cat ears.
The Water Element’s aura and its liquid form were the purest in existence, untainted by even a speck of dust, unable to be touched or interacted with physically.
Not only that, but its footsteps erased everything in its path, counteracting the Eternal Holy Water’s eternal nature.
Ptoo!
The next second, the black Water Element spat out a mouthful of black blood.
To survive within the Eternal Holy Water’s domain, it had to constantly remain in a state of nothingness, a severe strain on its weakened spirit energy.
Invincible, yet with limits.
“Nether… Snow Monarch, your arrival was meaningless.”
After a moment, the black Water Element turned and spoke, its voice filled with resentment.
Hearing this, the Snow Monarch slowly raised its head, its eyes, hidden by its veil, fixed on the black Water Element.
[I don’t care.]
“You’re so stubborn. I’ll remember this.”
[Whatever.]
“I’ll visit the Nether Snow Sacred Domain later.”
[Suit yourself.]
“Heh…”
Seeing the Snow Monarch’s nonchalant attitude, the black Water Element sneered.
Two moth wings, trailing ink, sprouted from its back. It raised the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, its twisted, seductive blade glowing.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The next second, a black torrent erupted.
