Chapter 255: Ultimate Battle Form
Amidst the shattered mountains of Cold Silver Mountain, the world-annihilating rain abruptly ceased.
Like a pebble tossed into a lake, it had caused ripples, distorting the reflection, blurring the line between reality and illusion.
The Desolate Sea Wanderer’s spirit diagram, shattered!
Gong Lianyue, her face pale, collapsed to the ground, weakened. Although the Lost Scroll didn’t consume much spirit energy, the mental and physical strain was immense.
This was the price of a human challenging a spirit beast…
The Desolate Sea Wanderer, coughing blood, its eyes unfocused, was also in a bad state.
A spirit diagram was a manifestation of a spirit beast’s will. Its destruction caused significant damage, far more severe than what Gong Lianyue was currently experiencing.
Crack!
As the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s mind reeled, a scorpion tail pierced its smooth, fleshy tail, pinning it to the cliff face.
The blue scorpion woman, standing in the distance, its tail, extending for two kilometers, had pierced the mermaid’s tail.
Its lower body immobilized, the warm blood and the sharp pain snapping it back to reality, the Desolate Sea Wanderer quickly raised its trident, aiming at the other approaching scorpion tail.
Clang, clang, clang!!
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!
The next second, the Desolate Sea Wanderer, its eyes bloodshot, swung its trident frantically, forced into a desperate exchange with the scorpion’s tail.
Their attacks were too fast for the naked eye to follow, only sparks flying, the deafening clang of metal on metal, the giant mermaid’s… ample flesh… jiggling and swaying grotesquely with each swing, a dizzying sight.
Stray spirit energy blasts, like ricocheting bullets, bombarded the surrounding area, creating countless craters.
The cliffs crumbled, the ground cracked, fissures spreading, the earth shaking.
Just then, the Tyrant Demon Seed, propelled by its Enhanced Leap, finally arrived.
The silver rabbit woman, its massive, fluffy tail spinning, its long, white legs swelling, their muscles bulging, hard as iron, landed.
Sensing the terrifying aura behind it, the Desolate Sea Wanderer, still parrying the scorpion’s tail, twisted its head 180 degrees.
Its plump fish tail glowed, a brilliant blue light flowing upwards, from its tail to its abdomen, its chest, its mouth, then—Ptoo!!
Boom!!!!
A massive blast of spirit energy erupted from the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s mouth, a devastating blue laser beam piercing the sky.
A thick, blue pillar of light, visible throughout Cold Silver Mountain, vaporizing everything in its path, even tearing a hole in the sky.
Bathed in the destructive energy blast, the silver rabbit woman’s flesh and blood seemed to melt, but it continued its descent, its face a mask of grim determination, unflinching.
[Talent: Closed Moon]
Closed Moon allowed it to convert its spirit energy into physical strength. And at this moment, the conversion rate was—100%.
Its massive, furry tail vanished instantly, as if deflating, and its body shimmered with a silver, moonlight glow, like a layer of oil.
The Tyrant Demon Seed, enduring the terrifying blast, landed and delivered a powerful kick to the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s chest.
[Battle Technique – Moon Collapse]
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A deafening roar, a terrifying explosion, like the crashing of the sun and moon.
The valley flattened, the earth shifted.
The surrounding mountains crumbled, reduced to a desolate wasteland.
As the dust settled, the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s mangled form was revealed.
Its entire upper body was gone, only a massive, twitching fish tail remained, flapping weakly on the ground.
“…”
“…”
“The Sorrowful Saintess… defeated a Nether Traverse Stage…?”
Shui Puxing, watching from the shadows, stared in disbelief at the blood-soaked, silver rabbit woman standing amidst the ruins.
There were cases of Sixth Full Cycle Samsara Stage spirit beasts defeating Nether Traverse Stage opponents, but the Sorrowful Saintess was only at the First Cycle!!!
As the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s physical body disintegrated, its aura began to fade.
Its two-hundred-meter-tall humanoid upper body… kicked into oblivion by a rabbit…
“Phew~~~~”
The Tyrant Demon Seed, its breath ragged, knelt on the ground, exhausted. The Closed Moon transformation had completely depleted its spirit energy.
But… it was finally over!
Wait, something wasn’t right…
The rabbit’s eyes narrowed.
The Desolate Sea Wanderer’s smooth fish tail twitched, its fading spirit energy converging, forming a sphere of swirling water.
The sphere pulsed like a nascent life, its spirit energy condensing, forming organs, a humanoid body slowly developing.
Pop!
A few seconds later, the sphere burst, and a naked, graceful figure emerged from the watery remains.
Her skin, as smooth and white as polished jade, her long, delicate legs, her small, pink feet, like pearls, lightly touching the ground.
A breathtaking beauty, a perfect figure, her most striking feature her hair.
Two thick, intertwined strands of blue hair formed two massive, luscious fishtails, and a few shimmering, translucent, icy fins adorned the back of her head.
The mermaid, its expression cold, looked at the rabbit woman and the scorpion woman in the distance, its head turning slowly, then reached out and grasped a crystal trident that materialized in the air.
At this moment, sensing the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s transformed aura, far more powerful than before, both Gong Lianyue and her spirit beasts felt a chilling dread.
The mermaid slowly spoke,
“I have four evolutionary forms, but to save time, I’ve skipped directly to my final, ultimate battle form.”
“Those who stand before me, retreat or die. You have one last chance.”
“Ninth Seat of the Three Lives Gate, Heavy Rain Realm, Shui Huangyou.”
Chapter 256: Landsliding Mermaid
At the bottom of the abyss at the edge of the Wind Valley, the undulating mountains had been flattened, leaving a desolate wasteland.
Standing amidst the ruins, the fish-tailed girl swung her massive, fleshy fists, swirling like a hurricane.
The sheer volume of dust and debris kicked up by her movements hinted at her terrifying power.
Shui Huangyou, the Desolate Sea Wanderer, ranked sixth among water-type Saint-ranks, even surpassing the seventh-ranked Azure Sky Sea Dragon, her strength often described as “capable of crushing dragons with a single punch.”
A perfect, all-around spirit beast, possessing beauty, power, speed, destructive force, a terrifying aura, and a unique talent.
Her relatively low ranking was simply because her water attribute was weak, her true nature that of a massive, biological, sea-dwelling beast, the king of the whale clan.
Even the second-ranked Water Moon Lantern Flower Sword Heart Crane would struggle to defeat her in a direct confrontation.
Similarly, the Tyrant Demon Seed held a high rank among rabbit-type spirit beasts, but among moonlight-attribute spirit beasts, it was only average, barely making it into the top ten.
The Bloodbath Fox Sovereign was ranked second among both fire and fox-type spirit beasts. Unfortunately, Gong Lianyue didn’t… possess it anymore.
However, rankings weren’t everything.
In a real battle, no one relied solely on rankings to determine the outcome.
At this moment, facing the transformed mermaid, the Tyrant Demon Seed frowned slightly, discreetly taking a few steps back.
Having converted all its spirit energy into physical strength, it couldn’t use any battle techniques or heal its injuries. It was essentially a high-level grunt with a powerful basic attack.
Its previous, full-powered attack hadn’t even fazed its opponent. Its hope of victory dwindled.
Just then, Shui Huangyou moved.
She raised her two massive fists, formed from the ends of her fishtails, and they began to swell, rapidly expanding like hot air balloons.
The smooth, watery surface of her fishtails rippled, the bulging muscles grotesque and terrifying.
The air around her crackled, the flow of spirit energy seemingly solidifying.
“…”
“…”
[Battle Technique – Flashing Wings]
Sensing the danger, Sacred Water, Lover, teleported Gong Lianyue a kilometer away, a burst of pink, heart-shaped bubbles marking their previous location.
It was said that a Desolate Sea Wanderer, in a fit of rage, had once destroyed an entire realm by repeatedly punching the ground.
Here it comes!!!
Seeing the swirling energy around the mermaid, the Tyrant Demon Seed crouched down, its soft rabbit ears drooping, its four limbs on the ground like an ordinary rabbit.
Its physical strength was at its peak, but its spirit energy was completely depleted.
Victory or defeat, in this single moment.
This was its last resort…
It slowly raised its right arm, its fingers curled into a strange gesture, like a sideways “thumbs up.”
This was the move that had defeated the Libra Fighting Swallow, not a battle technique, requiring no spirit energy.
The next second, the Desolate Sea Wanderer’s massive fists slammed into the ground.
Clang—
A strange buzzing sound, and the moment the two fists made contact, the earth shattered like glass.
The solid ground, now weaker than mud, crumbled, the destruction spreading rapidly throughout Cold Silver Mountain.
Rocks and earth dissolved, mountains collapsed, a deafening roar echoing.
Shui Puxing, watching from the shadows, was caught in the shockwave and sent tumbling for several kilometers before scrambling to her feet and fleeing.
Not just her, but even Xiong Bai, the white lion, having recovered, grabbed a few nearby Spirit Masters and fled.
Cold Silver Mountain, annihilated.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A deafening sonic boom, the earth shaking like waves in the ocean.
A massive explosion, its fiery cloud sweeping across thousands of kilometers, churning the sea around Cold Silver Mountain, reaching the sky.
Canyons rose, plains collapsed, the landscape transformed.
The rabbit woman and the scorpion woman in the distance, unable to stand, blood trickling from their orifices, tumbled across the ground, the Tyrant Demon Seed losing control of its stance.
Swish—
As the silver rabbit woman, its vision blurring, watched in shock, a soft, smooth, blue fishtail appeared, wrapping around it, holding it firmly.
Although the fishtail had shrunk after the explosion, it was still larger than a human, easily capable of grasping its entire body.
The fishtail squeezed the rabbit woman, pressing it into the ground, then began dragging it across the shattered landscape.
Amidst this chaotic destruction, only the Desolate Sea Wanderer could move freely.
Its white feet gliding effortlessly across the crumbling earth, the mermaid slid and spun, a blur of motion, a swirling water spout.
The Tyrant Demon Seed, its body dragged across the ground, screamed, blood spraying, a ten-kilometer-long trail of crimson staining the earth, almost forming a small river.
Finally, the fish-tailed girl, holding the struggling rabbit, reached the distant scorpion woman and, like a falling meteor, slammed the rabbit’s head against the scorpion’s face.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A deafening explosion, the earth shattering, the air tearing, the shockwave spreading for hundreds of miles.
The ground beneath them exploded into countless tiny cubes, then vaporized, a display of absolute, brutal power.
This was the terrifying might of a spirit beast from the Heavy Rain Realm…
As the dust settled, the Desolate Sea Wanderer, its face slightly pale, gasped for breath.
If it weren’t for its spirit diagram being shattered, it wouldn’t have needed its ultimate battle form against these two pseudo-Fourth Cycle spirit beasts, depleting its spirit energy so drastically.
Suddenly, as the dust cleared, its eyes widened in horror.
A massive, ice-blue scorpion, its body covered in spikes, its massive back covered in shimmering scales, loomed before it, stretching for five kilometers.
The Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion’s true beast form. Even at the Fourth Cycle of the Samsara Stage, its body was over five kilometers long, a size unheard of at this level…
And the Tyrant Demon Seed, its battered body, was gently held in the scorpion’s mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
The scorpion itself seemed completely unharmed by the previous impact.
“Interesting…”
The Desolate Sea Wanderer’s beautiful face twisted into a grin, and its two fishtails began to swell once more.
