The Saintess Has A Showdown 436

Chapter 436: Devour My Flesh and Blood, Forge My Eyes

In that fleeting moment, before anyone could react, a crimson blur swept past, snatching Yu Jinfei away, leaving Yin Kui’s snapping jaws closing on empty air.

A red-haired scorpion woman, her fiery hair like a burning inferno, her beautiful face a mask of sorrow, held Yu Jinfei gently in its arms, radiating a powerful, earth-shattering aura.

Its violent spirit energy, like a rumbling earthquake, shook the very foundations of the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring.

Thump!!!
Thump!!
Thump!!!

A terrifying heartbeat echoed, a heavy, oppressive rhythm that made everyone’s faces pale. Even You Qu Hanyuye, King of the Ten Prison Flowers, its eyes narrowed, recalled the strange sound it had heard within the Central Cradle.

As this bizarre heartbeat continued, the expressions of the spirit beasts present turned to shock and disbelief.

This sound…

It was the sound of a body struggling to contain the immense power of its core, its bones cracking and reforming. This meant… a newly born legendary being…?

No, wait…

Realization dawned, and a stunned silence fell, Yin Kui’s face twisting in horror.

Yu Jinfei… that old fool… what had it done?

This scorpion wasn’t newly born. It had absorbed Yu Jinfei’s core.

Yu Jinfei had been right. A Saint-rank couldn’t surpass a legendary being, but it could inherit its power!

[?????Legendary Rank?????]
[??Purgatory Crimson Halberd??]

Blood-red hair, burning like hellfire, the scorpion slowly opened its crimson, slitted eyes, a terrifying, god-like aura washing over them, sending chills down their spines, their bodies trembling.

However, as its cold, piercing gaze fell upon Yu Jinfei’s peaceful face, cradled in its arms, a gentle warmth softened its expression.

“You sacrificed your flesh and blood to forge my eyes. I will never forget this debt.”

“Thank you for showing me the world beyond Saint-rank. I will honor my promise, Yu Jinfei.”

“As you wished, your body will be returned to the Dust Refining Giant Remains. And I will cleanse the Seven Killing Blades, ensuring your eternal peace.”

“…”
“…”

[Arrogant!!!]

Hearing the crimson scorpion woman’s calm words, Yin Kui’s face twisted in a rage, a sinister, shadowy aura spreading throughout the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring.

It seemed the Peach Blossom Concubine wasn’t going to intervene. Then it would unleash its full power.

If it devoured this crimson scorpion, Yu Jinfei’s core would still be its.

Destroying the Seven Killing Blades? A mere infant, barely a legendary being, making such bold claims…

Boom!!!

A wave of dark, poisonous mist, a terrifying, suffocating cloud, erupted from Yin Kui’s massive jaws, engulfing the battlefield for thousands of kilometers.

The surrounding flowers withered and died, their life force extinguished.

As everyone stared intently, trying to locate the red figure within the poisonous mist, Yin Kui’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a drop of cold sweat trickling down its face.

The crimson scorpion woman was no longer there. It was standing in the distance, among the spectators, gently placing the lifeless body of Yu Jinfei in the arms of the stunned, blue-haired girl.

“…”
“…”

Such speed…

None of the legendary beings present had even seen it move.

Gong Lianyue had been prepared to receive a corpse, but Yu Jinfei’s body, once so massive, was now light as a feather, lighter even than a human.

Holding Yu Jinfei’s lifeless body, Gong Lianyue’s eyes widened in shock.

The scorpion standing before her, its information clearly displayed:

[?????Legendary Rank?????]
[??Purgatory Crimson Halberd??]
[Biological – Null Attribute – Offensive Type]

A single word changed. Having inherited Yu Jinfei’s core and ascended to legendary rank, the scorpion… it wasn’t a support type, but an offensive type!!!

This meant its growth potential and the power of its techniques far surpassed Yu Jinfei’s. It was a true contender for a spot among the Seven Concubines!

Swish—

Placing Yu Jinfei’s body in Gong Lianyue’s arms, the scorpion reappeared before Yin Kui.

The black serpent’s face, twisted in a grotesque grimace, its eyes filled with fear and rage, stared at it.

It now knew that this scorpion wasn’t some insignificant ant, but a powerful, high-ranking, titled legendary being.

At that moment, the scorpion’s cold, indifferent voice echoed in the minds of all present.

“From this day forward, the Dust Refining Giant Remains is under my control.”

“The Seven Killing Blades… trespass, and you will die.”

“…”
“…”

“What did you say?!!!”

After a moment of stunned silence, the Seven Killing Blades erupted in fury.

Besides the Gluttonous Concubine and the Silver Forged Steel Dragon, already defeated by Gong Lianyue, all the other giant beasts, including Yin Kui, glared at the Purgatory Crimson Halberd standing in the center of the battlefield.

Yin Kui, its rage uncontrollable, its massive black serpent body coiling and thrashing, lunged towards the scorpion woman.

Everything in its path was crushed. Facing the charging behemoth, the scorpion calmly raised its massive, swollen pincer, a simple, unassuming gesture.

The next second, a crimson, fiery aura erupted from the scorpion woman’s body, its flesh hardening, its bones densifying, the very air within the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring cracking and shattering, the spirit energy churning violently.

Its aura increasing a thousandfold, the massive, crimson scorpion, its body heavy and powerful, lunged forward, its pincer slamming into Yin Kui’s face.

Boom!

The impact, a monstrous, scorpion pincer-shaped fist print, shattered the space, the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring itself distorting and collapsing.

At that moment, all life present felt the touch of death, their vision blurring, the world turning upside down.

The earth crumbled, the sky darkened.

A silent wave of destruction spread outwards, the violent hurricane sending all the legendary beings, even You Qu Hanyuye and Sanzu Baixue, tumbling backwards.

Only the Peach Blossom Concubine, its petals partially shielding it, remained, its face grim, watching the devastation.

[Yu Jinfei, sleep well.]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
