Chapter 400: Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, The Sorrowful Saintess’s Last Resort
The more powerful the being, the longer it took to tear open a realm gate. Tianhe Nu, arriving almost half an hour after Shui Jingtian, radiated a terrifying, oppressive aura.
At this moment, the entire labyrinth within the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace was flooded, a violent, swirling vortex of water consuming the darkness.
As the swirling currents emanating from Tianhe Nu’s hair tore through the space, the Three Kings of the Moon Protection Court were caught in the torrent, tossed about like helpless mortals drowning in a raging sea.
“Strange, this isn’t the Sea Region. Where is that little human…?”
“The Empty Spirit Saintess must have been exposed. We’re inside that… thing… We’ve been ambushed by the Sorrowful Saintess!”
“Where are the reinforcements?”
“…”
“…”
As Tianhe Nu spoke, not only Shui Jingtian, but the entire Sea Concubine Palace delegation, was stunned.
The auras of the Half-Moon Decapitator and the other two spirit beasts had vanished, as if swallowed by the sea.
Reinforcements? That was it?
Tianhe Nu was on a completely different level. What kind of being was this? If it entered the Sea Region, the entire realm would be annihilated.
Could the Sorrowful Saintess, even at her peak, face such an opponent…?
The Three Celestial Seats were three legendary beings. This meant another, even more powerful one, was on its way.
And the Three Celestial Seats were just the vanguard. More legendary reinforcements from the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate would follow.
Was there any hope for the Sea Region?
Whoosh—!!!
Suddenly, a wave of water, and two battered figures, the Half-Moon Decapitator and the Laughing Red Moon, were expelled from the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace.
Just as they were about to be swallowed by Tianhe Nu, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace had teleported them out.
But the other trial participants remained trapped inside.
“The Empty Spirit Saintess used their auras as markers…”
Glancing at the scattered figures within the trial space, Gong Lianyue understood, her icy eyebrows furrowing.
So many markers… more enemies were coming.
She couldn’t just block them. She had to enter the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace and rescue the others. This was getting complicated.
“Saintess, what should we do? Can we save them?”
“Saving them isn’t the priority now. If that spirit beast enters the Sea Region, our world will be destroyed…”
“And according to that Empty Water Court Spirit Master, there are even stronger beings behind it!!!”
The remaining Sea Concubine Palace Spirit Masters chattered nervously, their anxiety palpable, even the higher-ups were at a loss.
The danger they faced was beyond their comprehension.
The Three Celestial Seats… such terrifying power… Had the Sorrowful Saintess ever faced a stronger opponent?
“Ah!!!”
A scream echoed from the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, its image displayed on the broadcast screen.
The commotion caused by the Cloud Moon Sovereign and its companions had attracted Tianhe Nu’s attention. They were now facing each other, and one of the Lord Attendants, terrified, had screamed.
There was no more time…
Gong Lianyue abandoned her plan to wait for her spirit energy to recover. They had discovered the Pseudo-Moon Pill’s effects. They wouldn’t give her the chance.
She had to at least try to rescue them.
Boom!!!
Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, a faint flicker of spirit energy, a shimmering blue bubble, emerged from Gong Lianyue’s body.
[Spirit Technique – Azure Heart of Water]
This contained the last of her spirit energy, barely enough to sustain even a Saint-rank spirit beast.
And so, under the watchful eyes of all, a small, soft, pink and white fox, its aura sweet and delicate, emerged from the blue-haired girl’s bathrobe.
The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, a high-rank spirit beast, Gong Lianyue’s last resort.
What? The Sorrowful Saintess had recovered some of her spirit energy?
But it was so faint, weaker even than an ordinary Dawn and Dusk Stage Spirit Master…
And this spirit beast… it was only high-rank…?
At this moment, her former companions, watching, felt a wave of helplessness.
Not just Bai He and the other Sea Concubine Palace higher-ups, but even the Wrathful Saintess and the Desireless Saintess were powerless.
Only legendary beings could participate in a battle between legendary beings. Saint-ranks were insignificant here, easily crushed without even being noticed.
Just how desperate was she, to rely on a mere high-rank spirit beast?
Whoosh—
With a ripple of black energy, the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower entered the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, a world now flooded, all its inhabitants submerged.
Tianhe Nu and the Cloud Moon Sovereign and its companions exchanged glances, a strange silence, then their attention was drawn to a new arrival.
A small, pink and white fox, riding a small lotus flower, like a tiny surfer, was rapidly approaching.
“Chirp!!!”
A cute, yet menacing, cry, and Tianhe Nu’s initially excited expression hardened.
It frowned, turning towards the approaching little fox, ignoring the Cloud Moon Sovereign and the other legendary spirit beasts.
“What is it?” Shui Jingtian asked, puzzled. Why would Tianhe Nu, so arrogant, even pay attention to a high-rank spirit beast?
High-rank spirit beasts were treated like servants in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, used as mounts or for menial labor, easily crushed with a thought.
And yet, this little fox seemed to be heading straight for them.
“It says it’s the Sorrowful Saintess’s spirit beast,” Tianhe Nu replied coldly, its aura fluctuating dangerously.
“And?”
“It says its master can only provide it with ten seconds of power, and in those ten seconds… it will… eliminate us!!!”
