The Saintess Has A Showdown 251-252

Chapter 251: The Three Lives Gate

“Meeh~~”

As the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s melodious cry echoed, everything within a radius of several kilometers withered and turned to dust.

The sweeping waves spread outwards, like a dust storm, engulfing the entire Cold Silver Mountain forest, sending rocks and debris flying.

All the Spirit Masters who heard that cry bled from their orifices, even the Saint-rank Xiong Bai collapsing.

In an instant, the dust settled.

The Grieving Saintess, trembling uncontrollably, was shielded by Xiong Bai. She had never seen such a terrifying Saint-rank spirit beast. It had severely injured a creature of the same rank with a single cry.

The Desolate Sea Wanderer’s spirit energy construct was… unusual. Where had it come from…?

After defeating the white lion, the giant mermaid didn’t finish it off, but turned and resumed digging at the mountain with its crystal trident, causing the earth to shake and dust to billow.

Looking down from above, one would see a massive, gate-shaped outline carved into the mountain range.

The gate was marked with teardrops and water droplets, and in the center, a strange umbrella symbol.

“Wait, that symbol…!!!”

Qiu Sui, standing on Xiong Bai’s collapsed body, stared at the symbol, her eyes wide.

She vaguely remembered seeing that symbol in a book, but she couldn’t recall where.

It must be the symbol of some faction. What was the Desolate Sea Wanderer doing…?

Just then, Xiong Bai moved.

“Roar!!!”

With a majestic roar, the white lion, over a thousand meters tall, rose to its feet, its massive body almost piercing the clouds.

Biological Saint-rank spirit beasts had strong regenerative abilities and no obvious physical weaknesses. Their survival skills were comparable to elemental types.

“Aunt Bai, are you alright?” the Grieving Saintess asked, riding on the lion’s back.

“Roar!!!”

Xiong Bai roared again, looking energetic and powerful.

But the moment the Desolate Sea Wanderer turned to look at it, it deflated, its white fur drooping, its spirits low.

After their clash, it understood it couldn’t defeat its opponent.

This Desolate Sea Wanderer could likely contend with a True Soul Stage Saint-rank!

Even so, it had to try. It had to test the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s limits for the Grieving Saintess.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The next second, a massive, beast-shaped shadow appeared behind Xiong Bai.

Its dense white fur quickly condensed, forming a massive, beast-like figure that covered the entire sky, its aura overwhelming.

Its spirit energy construct was based on fragmented memories of its legendary ancestor, radiating a faint legendary aura.

This terrifying aura had earned it a high rank on the Sea Region’s Water Heart Ranking.

Seeing this, the Desolate Sea Wanderer sighed wearily.

It was digging a mountain. Physical labor was tiring. Why did they keep bothering it?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A terrifying wave of water erupted.

Everything withered, dust scattered.

The sweeping wave transformed into a torrential downpour.

Sensing this overwhelming despair, Xiong Bai’s expression froze.

What was this…?

It had never seen a spirit beast with such a powerful spirit energy construct…

The illusory downpour, covering hundreds of kilometers, was accompanied by a massive, transparent umbrella.

The figure behind the mermaid, a manifestation of its power, was a giant umbrella capable of blocking the rain.

Xiong Bai’s spirit energy construct was based on fragmented memories, but the Desolate Sea Wanderer had been observing that being day and night.

“A single tear can make the heavens weep, an umbrella can block the heartless rain.”

“Heavy Rain Realm, Three Lives Gate!!!”

“Stop it from digging that gate!!”

At the same time, the ten-member rescue team from the Sea Concubine Palace, arriving from the distance, was stunned by the massive, rainy illusion.

Disguised as Shui Qingyue, the beautiful girl’s face was grim.

Hearing Sacred Water, Lover’s, panicked cry, Gong Lianyue’s heart sank.

A single tear can make the heavens weep, an umbrella can block the heartless rain… this referred to the legendary-rank weapon-type spirit beast, the Umbrella Immortal, and the Three Lives Gate it had created. Even in the Heavy Rain Realm, they were a formidable force.

A spirit beast from the Three Lives Gate, building a spirit gate in the Sea Region…?

If they didn’t stop it now, once the gate was completed, the Heavy Rain Realm army could instantly invade the Sea Region!

Chapter 252: First Fight Against a Nether Traverse Stage (Spirit Diagram)

–Sea Region, Cold Silver Mountain

A torrential downpour, a seemingly endless deluge, covered the silver-gray mountain range, washing over the landscape for hundreds of kilometers, turning everything a dull, translucent gray.

And above, a massive, transparent umbrella, vast enough to encompass the heavens.

Bathed in this illusory rain, the mermaid spirit beast’s aura reached a terrifying level.

A single tear can make the heavens weep, an umbrella can block the heartless rain.

The Umbrella Immortal, the Three Lives Gate!

The patterns carved into the massive gate being dug by the Desolate Sea Wanderer were the symbol of the Three Lives Gate.

It was trying to create a portal to the Heavy Rain Realm.

And Sacred Water, Lover’s, frantic warning filled Gong Lianyue with dread.

If they didn’t stop it now, the consequences would be dire.

Once the gate was completed, the Heavy Rain Realm’s army could instantly invade the Sea Region, bypassing the barriers between realms.

But she, the head of the Mission Hall, was already here. How could the Sea Concubine Palace receive the distress call?

She hadn’t expected such a powerful spirit beast. She couldn’t defeat it alone.

The best course of action would be to send the scorpion back for reinforcements, since it had no range limitations, but that would reduce her combat power, and it might be too late.

And, frustratingly, she had entered the Waterfall Lake Wonderland earlier to check on a mission, triggering the cooldown period. She couldn’t exchange for a Dual Soul Pill.

“No, I have to stop it here!!”

Gong Lianyue made up her mind. Whether she could win or not, she couldn’t let it complete the gate.

If only Hong Xiaoqianyu were still clinging to her like before. Unfortunately, after three months, that legendary being had grown tired of her, now wandering the Sea Concubine Palace, causing a commotion wherever it went.

With a sigh, the blue-haired girl’s spirit energy surged, shimmering bubbles forming in the air around her.

As the flowing teardrops washed away her disguise, revealing her sorrowful face…

Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess.

Boom!!!!

At the same time, the aura of the rain in the sky intensified.

Rain falling from the heavens, a heartless umbrella blocking its path.

The mermaid swung its crystal trident, unleashing a torrent of water spirit energy.

Sorrow, heartlessness, melancholy. Three auras intertwined, sweeping across Cold Silver Mountain.

A spirit diagram was a technique that materialized one’s aura, transforming it into a tangible force. It couldn’t be blocked by physical defenses, only countered by another aura.

This meant that Spirit Masters below the Nether Traverse Stage had almost no chance of defeating an opponent who had manifested their spirit diagram.

And a Nether Traverse Stage spirit beast with a weak spirit diagram would be instantly suppressed and severely injured.

Whoosh~~~

The river of rainwater flowed across the sky, through the clouds, over the mountains.

Xiong Bai’s white, beast-shaped spirit diagram, a manifestation of its aura, offered no resistance, instantly shattering into dust.

Its spirit diagram, based on fragmented memories of its bloodline, was no match for the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s, meticulously crafted from years of observing a legendary being.

The difference in their scale, power, and complexity was vast.

“Ugh!!!”

The white lion vomited a mouthful of blood, its aura weakening.

It collapsed to the ground.

Xiong Bai, despite its high rank on the Water Heart Ranking, had never encountered such a terrifying spirit diagram.

The rain’s aura alone had almost crushed it, let alone that massive umbrella, still looming in the sky, blocking the downpour.

Seeing this, the Sea Concubine Palace rescue team was terrified. They recognized Xiong Bai, the Cold Court’s guardian beast, and it had been defeated in an instant. Just what kind of monster were they facing…?

Strangely, the Desolate Sea Wanderer spared Xiong Bai.

Despite being provoked twice, it hadn’t killed them, turning back to resume its digging.

“…”
“…”

Was there actually such a kind spirit beast in the world?

The Sea Concubine Palace Spirit Masters hesitated, unsure of what to do.

It seemed this Desolate Sea Wanderer was… benevolent, while Xiong Bai of the Cold Court was the true villain!

“Stop it!” Sacred Water, Lover’s, urgent voice echoed.

Gong Lianyue nodded, knowing she had to act.

Under the puzzled gazes of her companions, the blue-haired girl walked towards the Desolate Sea Wanderer.

She couldn’t let it complete the gate.

As she walked, her blue uniform robe fell away, revealing a snow-white robe with ice flower patterns, an elegant and mysterious garment.

Her blue hair flowed like a waterfall, her crescent moon eyebrows, her six teardrop beauty marks, her downcast eyes…

Was this… the Sorrowful Saintess…?

The shocked cries of the Sea Concubine Palace rescue team reached her, but Gong Lianyue ignored them, her gaze fixed on the mermaid’s… ahem… distracting… tail.

Wow, how lewd…

But her battle formation was already decided.

Sacred Water, Lover, Tyrant Demon Seed, and Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion.

A pink figure, a rabbit woman with a massive tail, and a scorpion woman with bladed tails. The three spirit beasts materialized behind the blue-haired girl.

Boom!!!

A terrifying surge of power, wind and water swirling.

The combined aura of the three Saint-ranks drew the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s attention, and the mermaid turned its head curiously.

A Dual Soul Body Spirit Master with three Saint-rank spirit beasts…?

Even in the Heavy Rain Realm, that was considered a remarkable talent. It hadn’t expected to find such a person in the Sea Region.

As it met the blue-haired girl’s gaze, Gong Lianyue, her expression cold and indifferent, didn’t flinch.

The next second, shimmering water bubbles erupted from around Gong Lianyue, radiating a dense water spirit energy.

The Watery Years she had encountered before had only just reached the Nether Traverse Stage, its spirit diagram incomplete, essentially a pseudo-Nether Traverse Stage.

This Desolate Sea Wanderer, however, was not only a true Nether Traverse Stage spirit beast but also incredibly powerful.

But here, now, Gong Lianyue had to stop it.

This was her first true battle against a Nether Traverse Stage opponent!

And she would defeat it alone!
