Chapter 233: A New Fallen Species is Born!!!
Storm, Flood, Volcano, and Avalanche, replacing Drought…
Under everyone’s gaze, the Four Great Calamities, all Fallen Species, had gathered at the Lunar Divine Festival arena!
Nether Concubine and Ice Queen, who had been leisurely observing, suddenly became serious.
Nether Concubine, Flood’s former master, felt a surge of complex emotions.
Flood hadn’t returned to her upon her resurrection because it knew she had no chance of winning. This was the future Qianqiu had simulated.
The Fallen Species’ genes were deeply ingrained in its being; there was no turning back.
Therefore, Flood had chosen to join Storm’s faction, seeking to change the outcome of the Lunar Divine Festival from the root.
Fallen Species were the only beings Qianqiu couldn’t simulate.
She could partially simulate Ancient and Shining Species, but Fallen Species were completely beyond her grasp.
So, to change the final outcome, they could only rely on Storm, who was invisible to Qianqiu’s simulations…
But…
Facing her former Pet Beast as an enemy was incredibly painful.
Perhaps this was why Inverse Time had been indifferent to Drought’s demise.
Meanwhile, Ice Queen stared intently at the black, lava-covered rhinoceros.
They were old rivals.
They had clashed countless times over ten million years, each with victories and defeats, but neither could truly kill the other.
Tai Yin stepped forward silently, glaring at the silver-winged eagle woman.
“Storm, you’re too arrogant!!!”
“You’re not qualified to shout at the Twelve Moons!!!”
“…”
“…”
“Get lost, or I’ll kill your whole family,” Storm said flatly, waving her hand dismissively.
Tai Yin immediately retreated, hiding behind Ice Queen and Nether Concubine, while urgently contacting Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, who was battling the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, to return for support.
Lian Xing blinked, surprised.
She had expected Tai Yin to put up more of a fight, but she was a coward.
It seemed Tai Yin and Storm knew each other well…
Moonwalker had mentioned once that as the First Guardian of the Moon Soul World, the foremost of the seventy-two Legends, Tai Yin possessed immortality. As long as the subordinate Soul Worlds under her jurisdiction weren’t completely destroyed, she couldn’t be truly harmed.
But Storm had threatened her family.
This meant Tai Yin’s greatest fear was the destruction of her Soul Worlds…?
But with the situation escalating, was there any point in the official participants fighting each other?
Lian Xing glanced at the Shining Rabbit and Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, who were still fighting intensely, completely unfazed by the Four Great Calamities’ arrival.
“…”
“…”
“Crash—!!!”
Suddenly, the ruins where Dao Yao stood collapsed.
Amidst a shower of silver sparks, the Moonlight Rabbit in her revealing priestess robe emerged, shouting angrily, “Storm!!!”
“Don’t yell! I can hear you!!!” Storm retorted, her voice even louder.
A terrifying, destructive aura erupted between them.
“BOOM!!!!”
In an instant, Storm, transcending spacetime, slammed Dao Yao into another planet.
At a speed no one could perceive, the silver-winged eagle woman dragged Dao Yao by her shoulders, face-first, across the planet’s surface, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, the explosive speed defying all comprehension.
Despite being a competitor in the Lunar Divine Festival, Lian Xing felt a pang of sympathy for Dao Yao.
For some reason, she always felt a certain fondness for the Moonlight Rabbit species.
Lying amidst another pile of rubble, Snow Flower, dragging Golden Leaf, stood up again.
But before she could fully rise, the mere hint of her fighting spirit—
“BOOM!!”
Storm, carrying Dao Yao, arrived at Snow Flower’s location with blinding speed, flinging Dao Yao at Snow Flower and Golden Leaf, sending them crashing through countless stars.
Lian Xing and Tai Yin gasped, speechless.
Setting aside Tai Yin’s thoughts, Lian Xing realized she had miscalculated.
She had underestimated Storm’s power as the highest-level being in the Moon Soul World!
Having fought Storm with the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, she hadn’t accurately assessed its true strength.
But now, just half a second into the battle, Dao Yao and Snow Flower were already struggling…
The beings of the Moon Soul World watched in stunned silence as Storm dominated the battlefield.
As one of the Moon Soul World’s strongest, Storm was effortlessly handling three opponents!
Could the Lunar Divine Festival participants possibly overcome this?
The other two Calamities hadn’t even joined the fight yet…
***
In the Water Soul World, even the mysterious water elemental within Sorrowful Saintess fell silent after witnessing Storm’s terrifying power through the Moon Soul World’s shared vision.
Gong Lian Yue asked curiously, “So, old lady, can you defeat this one?”
“…”
“…”
“In my prime, I’d be about the same level as that Dao Yao.”
“As for this one… perhaps my eldest daughter could put up a fight…”
After a brief silence, the mother-in-law honestly admitted her inferiority.
Unable to even perceive Storm’s speed, she couldn’t boast about having a chance.
Sorrowful Saintess worried about Lian Xing.
Her mother-in-law, who usually disregarded even the other Saintess candidates of the Sea Soul World, had admitted she was no match for this Fallen Storm.
This meant Storm’s power was undoubtedly among the highest in the Moon Soul World…
Could Lian Xing possibly defeat Storm?
Meanwhile, in the Cloud Mist Sea of the Moon Soul World, Yaochi, the Sixth Guardian, sensing Moonwalker’s desire to rescue her wife, advised, “I advise you not to act rashly. They can ignore the rules of the Lunar Divine Festival because they are Fallen Species. We, as Guardians, cannot violate the True Spirits’ rules.”
“If you interfere like Storm, you might disrupt the entire Lunar Divine Festival…”
“…”
“…”
“Yes, I understand~~~” Moonwalker sighed heavily.
Though she longed to help Lian Xing, she couldn’t intervene in the Lunar Divine Festival as a neutral party.
After the event, regardless of the victor, Storm would be punished by the Twelve Moons.
Besides, she still believed Lian Xing would win.
Calming herself, she resumed watching.
***
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”
Under the countless gazes of the Moon Soul World, the indomitable Storm, carrying Dao Yao and Snow Flower, rampaged through the arena, shattering planets and meteorites in her path.
The figures zipped across the starry sky like silver comets, their speed beyond comprehension.
Even Dao Yao and Snow Flower/Golden Leaf couldn’t keep up, battered and bruised by the relentless assault.
As the other participants remained passive, Volcano and Flood didn’t move, simply observing and waiting.
Suddenly, Lian Xing realized something.
While Snow Flower and Dao Yao were entangled with Storm, she rode Mist Colt towards Nether Concubine and Ice Queen.
Seeing the golden-bunned, starry-eyed girl approach, Tai Yin immediately assumed a defensive stance.
“Lian Xing, what are you doing!?”
“Can’t you see the situation… This isn’t the time for infighting!!”
“…”
“…”
“Who asked you? Get lost, or I’ll kill your whole family!” Lian Xing snapped.
Tai Yin retreated, dejected.
Lian Xing turned to the puzzled Nether Concubine, calling in a favor.
“Qianqiu, don’t forget, you owe me one!!”
“Just one question. Will what I’m about to do succeed?”
“Just a clear yes or no.”
“…”
“…”
“Yes,” Qianqiu replied after a second.
Because of her request, Lian Xing had held back in the first round, not targeting Nether Concubine. And since Lian Xing was also her future mother-in-law, Qianqiu ran the unknown simulation without hesitation.
With renewed confidence, Lian Xing turned and headed towards Star Goddess.
Star Goddess, unlike Tai Yin, wasn’t wary, simply blinking curiously.
What was she planning?
Sharp Edge Seven King Mother and the Shining Moonlight Rabbit were in the middle of a battle. Wasn’t it inappropriate for the Beast Tamers to be so close?
But Lian Xing wasn’t there for Star Goddess; she was there for Inverse Time within Star Goddess.
“Inverse Time, don’t forget, you owe me one!!”
“If I hadn’t defeated Drought, you wouldn’t even be here. So, you must grant me one request.”
“And after defeating Storm, I won’t use your ability’s effects against you!”
“…”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Star Goddess, not Inverse Time, responded.
“Lian Xing, I’ll agree on her behalf, but—”
“One thing at a time. You helped us, but you also defeated my former Pet Beast. That’s an undeniable fact.”
“So, although I’ll help you now… after we defeat Storm, I will defeat you!” Star Goddess said seriously, the stars in her eyes gleaming.
Star Goddess was the embodiment of purity and innocence.
Her promise carried far more weight than Lian Xing’s casual words.
Lian Xing whispered something into Star Goddess’s ear.
Star Goddess’s face flushed slightly, but she listened patiently.
As Lian Xing finished speaking, Star Goddess’s starry eyes constricted sharply.
“…”
“…”
Moments later, Inverse Time, a beautiful woman with long, purple, starry hair, emerged from Star Goddess’s Pet Beast space.
She glanced at Lian Xing with a complex expression, then at the Four Great Calamities in the distance, and asked softly, “So, Lian Xing, what kind of future do you desire?”
“Defeating Storm isn’t realistic. I just want a future where I defeat Flood and Volcano.”
“Give my Pet Beast a timeline where it triumphs over Flood and Volcano. Doesn’t have to be a solo kill, an assist is fine!!” Lian Xing replied without hesitation.
She then took the small Fallen phoenix, Smelting Fire Wrathful Luan, from her Pet Beast space.
Inverse Time’s ability could flow not only backwards but also forwards!
Just as she could rewind the states of Sharp Edge Seven King Mother and other Pet Beasts, she could also push their states into the future, increasing their levels, though she couldn’t create impossible futures.
But now, with the Four Great Calamities present and the chaotic battle, securing an assist shouldn’t be difficult.
Inverse Time enveloped the little phoenix in a purple energy field.
Storm, noticing their actions, abandoned Dao Yao and Snow Flower, turning and diving towards Star Goddess and Lian Xing at breakneck speed.
Space itself seemed to freeze under Storm’s full speed.
Star Goddess and Lian Xing had no time to react.
But just as Storm’s eagle claws were about to pierce Inverse Time and the little phoenix, the future seemed to change preemptively.
“BOOM!!!!!”
Under everyone’s gaze, massive, blood-red phoenix wings, radiating destructive energy, unfurled.
As their auras collided, Storm’s body, transcending time, burst through the area.
But this time, as the smoke cleared, the silver-winged eagle woman hovered amidst the empty ruins, looking at her empty claws in confusion.
For the first time, ever, her attack had missed…
How could Storm’s attack miss?
Inverse Time, rescued just in time, looked at Lian Xing in disbelief, her throat tightening.
This future… was even more absurd than her wildest guess…
Massive, flaming phoenix wings slowly folded around the golden-bunned girl, like an illusory eggshell, its surface swirling with flames.
Undoubtedly…
Another Fallen Species Emperor had been born!!!!
