The Saintess Has A Showdown 277-278

Chapter 277: Little Fox???

Spirit energy evaporated, flesh boiled.

As white fur coalesced, the Tyrant Demon Seed stood up, its wounds completely healed.

The terrifying giant scorpion before it, its massive form defying comprehension, a true disaster-class spirit beast, its every move capable of widespread destruction.

Although its attacks were slow and easy to dodge due to its massive size, its raw power was overwhelming.

Another direct hit would be devastating.

Swish—

As the Tyrant Demon Seed pondered, pink, heart-shaped, bubble-like wings sprouted from the rabbit’s back, and it vanished, reappearing instantly behind the Tyrant Demon Seed.

Then, its two hardened, black ears, like chains, wrapped around the Tyrant Demon Seed, its body clinging tightly.

“Poo! Poo! Poo! Poo! Poo! Poo!!!” (Sounds of frustration and anger)

Trapped and restrained, the Tyrant Demon Seed thrashed and cursed.

Just then, the giant scorpion moved.

It raised its massive pincer and swung down, intending to crush both the rabbit and the Tyrant Demon Seed.

The air crackled, the sea churned, sparks flying from the friction.

But the two Tyrant Demon Seeds were locked in an embrace, neither able to escape.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[Battle Technique – Flashing Wings]

In the blink of an eye, the rabbit was teleported away by a burst of pink bubbles, while the Tyrant Demon Seed beneath the scorpion’s pincer was crushed into dust.

Waves crashed, the air distorted, the world plunged into darkness.

The Tyrant Demon Seed, Sacred Water, Lover, and the Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion—speed, skill, and power combined. The three spirit beasts, working together, had finally broken through the Tyrant Demon Seed’s defenses, defeating it completely.

A few seconds later, the Tyrant Demon Seed reappeared, its appearance disheveled.

Comically, its once massive tail was now the size of a small mushroom.

Although it had used Hundred Refinements to restore its body, its spirit energy was almost completely depleted.

[Moon Collapse]

The Tyrant Demon Seed’s face twisted into a grimace, its legs swelling like balloons, its remaining spirit energy burning.

The sea beneath its feet churned, the air around it crackling.

The next second, it shot forward, a silver blur, a sharp arrow aimed at the scorpion, piercing its defenses.

Biological offensive types possessed a raw power that combat types couldn’t match, but they couldn’t refine every inch of their bodies to the same level of perfection. This was the combat type’s advantage!

Bang!!!

As the silver streak flashed, the scorpion’s massive carapace cracked.

A terrifying silver shadow pierced through its body, emerging from its tail.

However, despite the injury, the scorpion, unfazed, continued its attack, its massive pincer, like a divine hammer, descending upon the Tyrant Demon Seed.

At the same time, the rabbit, its Steel Moon armor and War Mantle fading, was teleported back by Sacred Water, Lover, landing beside the Tyrant Demon Seed and unleashing a flurry of punches, a chaotic exchange of blows, blood spraying everywhere.

Half a second later, the rabbit’s Steel Moon armor vanished completely, its naked body covered in bloody fist prints, but its hardened black ears remained firmly wrapped around the Tyrant Demon Seed.

Finally, the scorpion’s massive pincer, like a nuclear bomb, slammed down.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A deafening roar, and the sea churned for hundreds of miles, the brutal battle finally over.

The rabbit wasn’t teleported away by Sacred Water, Lover, but recalled by Gong Lianyue to recover in her spirit space.

At the same time, the scorpion, having used its dual talents for the first time, and Lover, having maintained Limit Break for so long, were both exhausted. Gong Lianyue quickly recalled them.

With Limit Break deactivated, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl’s spirit energy plummeted from the Broken Cycle back to the Second Cycle.

Gong Lianyue, alone, floating above the shattered sea, her beautiful face pale, a look of resignation in her eyes.

They had finally overcome the Tyrant Demon Seed, but her three main spirit beasts were severely injured, and the Ice Soul Cold Star hadn’t returned. How could she possibly face the even more powerful True Soul Stage opponents that awaited her?

The silver rabbit woman, lying on the surface of the sea, barely conscious, its spirit energy depleted, its body battered, stared blankly at the sky, unable to believe its defeat.

But it quickly accepted its fate. Even if it had won, they would still have died.

What awaited the Sorrowful Saintess next was Sound Fang Soul Melody, a True Soul Stage spirit beast ten times stronger than itself, and Autumn Night Sky, ten times stronger than even Sound Fang Soul Melody!

Meanwhile, near the front half of the Cold Shark Prison, Sound Fang Soul Melody, which had been rampaging through the Sea Concubine Palace, now knelt on the ground, its face pale, its body weakened.

And before it, the one-horned, purple elemental figure, the Ice Soul Cold Star, a faint smirk on its face.

Their battle had been short and quiet, ending almost instantly.

Sound Fang Soul Melody, one of the two most powerful True Soul Stage spirit beasts threatening the Sea Concubine Palace, had been defeated by this single-horned Ice Soul Cold Star.

The defeated Sound Fang Soul Melody, kneeling on the ground, its voice filled with bitter resentment, said,

“What’s so funny? Your target was Autumn Night Sky, wasn’t it? Now that I’ve intercepted you, you don’t have enough spirit energy from your master to reach it!!”

“Without you, no one in the Sea Concubine Palace could possibly defeat Autumn Night Sky!!”

“Against Autumn Night Sky at its full power, you have no chance!!!”

No chance, huh…

The Ice Soul Cold Star chuckled strangely, its spirit energy fading, its body dissolving into a purple, icy mist.

Seeing this, Sound Fang Soul Melody breathed a sigh of relief, its initial arrogance gone.

It hadn’t expected to encounter such a powerful opponent in this small Sea Region. That Ice Soul Cold Star… it was truly something else…

At the same time, sensing its companion’s fading aura, the massive crescent moon hanging high in the sky, Autumn Night Sky, finally stirred.

Its power, unmatched among True Soul Stage spirit beasts, was often mistaken for a Sun and Moon Realm being, even earning it a restriction from the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, forbidding it from acting freely.

If it unleashed its full power, the Sea Concubine Palace would be instantly annihilated.

Just as Autumn Night Sky was about to release a wave of spirit energy, it glanced down and noticed a small, adorable fox, trembling pitifully.

A little fox???

Chapter 278: Little Fox’s Ultimate Evolution, a Legendary Arrives, the King of Flowers!!!

At this moment, under the terrifying, oppressive aura of Autumn Night Sky, was a small, seemingly helpless fox.

Although its exact species was unclear, there were many similar low-rank fox-type spirit beasts: the Water Ripple Fox, the Ice Fox, the Wind Shadow Fox, the Flame Fox, all small and weak. This little fox, with its multi-colored fur, was probably one of them.

At the bottom of the spirit world’s food chain, easily crushed by the stray attacks of stronger spirit beasts, a truly pitiful creature…

However, as Autumn Night Sky’s gaze swept past the little fox, it paused, then returned, fixated on it.

What was this? This little fox was directing hostility towards it?

How could a weak, low-rank spirit beast possibly show hostility towards a Saint-rank?

It wasn’t that Autumn Night Sky was arrogant, but this was simply… illogical.

Even a weak human would be surprised by a microorganism’s hostility.

Meanwhile, the small, seemingly harmless fox stared at the giant crescent moon in the sky, the despairing pressure, the boundless terror, like a vision of hell.

Facing Autumn Night Sky, its most terrifying and insurmountable opponent, Gong Lianyue had unleashed her final trump card: the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower!

The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower hadn’t seen any real action since the era of Saint-rank battles began.

The little fox, trembling, curled up into a ball, afraid to even meet Autumn Night Sky’s gaze, yet its hostility was undeniable.

“Chirp!”

The little fox let out a soft cry, causing Autumn Night Sky to pause, then a wave of mocking laughter, its spirit energy fluctuating wildly, echoed.

“Perish along with the Sea Concubine Palace!

Autumn Night Sky’s cold, indifferent voice was a death sentence.

As it spoke, the surrounding moonlight spirit energy converged, forming a massive sphere of energy.

The growing sphere, radiating a terrifying power, distorted the air, the ground beneath the little fox beginning to crack.

At that moment, a pink mist erupted from the little fox.

With a poof, the familiar scent of pollen filled the air.

The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, a unique hybrid, its ancestry unknown.

Ten percent fox bloodline, ninety percent plant essence, its true form and name more akin to a plant.

A monster in the eyes of foxes, a saintess in the eyes of plants, a high-rank spirit beast that could captivate any plant-type spirit beast, even the “married” Hong Xiaoqianyu occasionally indulging in a… lick.

The little fox had once longed for the beautiful fox spirits, its standards low, any fox would do.

Even now, it still preferred foxes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have chosen a fox form.

But after… extensive interactions with the Misty Heart Lotus and the Seven-Foot Sword Princess Flower, its body had grown accustomed to the scent and feel of plants, no longer repulsed by them.

Its XP (preferences) had been forcefully corrected. A victory for the plants!

Poof!

As the pollen spread, a figure materialized within the mist, a being of pure plant essence.

The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, ten percent fox, ninety percent plant. This meant its plant form was nine times more powerful than its fox form…

As the pink mist dissipated, a breathtakingly beautiful, humanoid figure was revealed.

Long, flowing, peach-colored hair cascaded down to the ground, its features flawless, otherworldly, two heart-shaped pupils gazing out at the world.

Nine soft, pink, petal-like tails swayed behind it, caressing its snow-white, alluring body, its aura captivating.

As if celebrating its birth, a shower of peach blossom petals rained down from the sky.

The world was painted pink, the mist and petals obscuring Autumn Night Sky’s terrifying aura.

Seeing this, Gong Lianyue, watching from the shadows, gulped nervously.

Such a seductive, alluring figure… was this really the same little fox that used to play with her eyeballs?

Puberty… truly transformative…

Just then, the Wrathful Saintess and the others arrived, staring at the scene in stunned silence. A moment later, a torrent of green blood, like a geyser, erupted from the green-haired maid’s nose, knocking her unconscious.

Hong Xiaoqianyu also stood frozen, a few drops of blood trickling from her nose, her composure shattered.

And high above, Autumn Night Sky’s oppressive aura faltered, its spirit energy fluctuating wildly, its mind filled with shock, fear, confusion, and despair.

This was impossible! How could such a being exist in the Sea Region?

Just the sight of this flower woman made its spirit energy waver, its composure crumble, unable to even use its battle techniques.

After a few minutes of stunned silence, Autumn Night Sky began to descend, its massive, crescent moon form slowly drifting down from the clouds, landing on the surface of the sea, its body now horizontal, facing the pink flower woman, a gesture of submission.

No one found this comical or absurd. Even in this humiliating posture, it still seemed arrogant before such a being.

Because this was…

The true name and form of the Peach Blossom Concubine, one of the Seven Concubines of the spirit world.

The King of Flowers, the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower!!!
