The Saintess Has A Showdown 269-270

Chapter 269: Super Reinforcement

Within the massive Tyrant Demon Seed, inside the severed front half of the Cold Shark Prison, the shattered remains of the Sea Concubine Palace formed a landscape of hills and valleys.

The ground was littered with the corpses of spirit beasts, both Samsara and Nether Traverse Stage, mostly belonging to the Sea Concubine Palace’s senior instructors.

Rivers of blood, mountains of corpses.

Not a single spirit beast had lasted more than a second against that being, all instantly defeated.

Sound Fang Soul Melody, a True Soul Stage, Nether Traverse Realm spirit beast, ranked seventh among moonlight-types.

Its body, a shimmering silver-gray elemental form, covered in crescent moon patterns, radiated a terrifying aura, like a natural disaster.

Countless spirit beasts had fallen before it. Thirty, a hundred, perhaps even five hundred!

Sound Fang Soul Melody alone had broken through the Sea Concubine Palace’s defenses.

Its power was unmatched, practically invincible. Below the Sun and Moon Realm, no one in the entire Sea Region could defeat it.

“If reinforcements don’t arrive soon, the Sea Concubine Palace will be destroyed…” a veteran senior instructor muttered, her voice trembling, as she watched the terrifying, moonlit figure.

Having faced True Soul Stage experts from the Sun-Seizing Divine Metropolis before, she recognized the overwhelming power radiating from this being, a power beyond the reach of ordinary Sea Region Spirit Masters.

But this Sound Fang Soul Melody…

It filled her with a sense of despair and dread, no hope of victory.

It was far more powerful than anything from the Sun-Seizing Divine Metropolis, on a completely different level!

Even the Sorrowful Saintess’s Ice Soul Cold Star wouldn’t be a match for it!

Boom!

With a casual wave of its hand, the silver, moon-like elemental figure sent dozens of Nether Traverse Stage spirit beasts flying, their limbs scattered, blood spraying everywhere.

Seconds later, only a massive crater remained, the lingering auras fading.

“Ooo~~~”

Floating above the desolate ruins, surveying the destruction, Sound Fang Soul Melody let out a mournful howl, its terrifying voice echoing.

Meanwhile, within the back half of the shark’s remains, in the Sea Dou Hall…

The massive Lunar Colossus Servant waited patiently, its fists clenched, its anticipation growing.

The Sea Concubine Palace members had said the Sorrowful Saintess would be coming soon for a duel.

Among its companions, the Lunar Colossus Servant’s strength and ranking were among the lowest, its only advantage its massive size.

And with the Tyrant Demon Seed as their mount, it was rarely needed.

But if it defeated the Sorrowful Saintess here, its status within the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s ranks would surely rise. Its companions would finally acknowledge its strength!

“Why isn’t the Sorrowful Saintess here yet?”

Impatient, the Lunar Colossus Servant looked down and roared at a small, defenseless Sea Concubine Palace member.

Hong Tao trembled in fear, tears streaming down her face, her Hellfire Dragon cowering beside her, playing dead.

She had intended to fight in Gong Lianyue’s place, but her Hellfire Dragon’s full-powered attack had only… tickled its opponent.

As the Lunar Colossus Servant’s massive form loomed over her, Hong Tao blurted out, “The Sorrowful Saintess sent me to tell you she’ll be here soon to deal with you!” a humiliating and nonsensical excuse.

This meant admitting that her attack had only served to announce her presence…

“She’s coming, she’s coming!” Hong Tao cried, her voice filled with fake distress.

Fortunately, this creature wasn’t very bright. The Lunar Colossus Servant nodded, satisfied, and continued to wait.

Bang!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The next second, a terrifying explosion rocked the entrance to the Sea Dou Hall, the earth shaking, the entire structure cracking.

As the Lunar Colossus Servant watched in confusion, a blue, scorpion woman, swaying unsteadily, stumbled into the arena.

Like a drunkard, it staggered and swayed, occasionally falling, crushing large sections of the arena floor, seemingly unable to control its own movements.

Seeing the scorpion woman, the Lunar Colossus Servant’s aura surged, a chilling premonition of death washing over it.

It knew… its time had come.

[Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion] versus [Lunar Colossus Servant]

Meanwhile, outside the Sea Dou Hall, the Variant Water Emperor, a water-based elemental figure, sobbed uncontrollably, its tears threatening to dissolve its body.

That was a token of affection, given to it by the Sword Saint’s disciple from the Grand Yin Concealed Rain Pavilion of the Heavy Rain Realm! And Gong Lianyue had casually given it away to that scorpion!

No, wait, it had already consumed that one. This one was from the daughter of the Star River Bathing Rain Sect’s elder.

It didn’t matter which one it was. It was a token of affection!

The light green pill, with a bronze cauldron pattern, was a Dual Soul Pill, a byproduct of the Dual Soul Body, capable of awakening a second species talent in a spirit beast!

Unlike the pills Gong Lianyue usually consumed, its effects were permanent, not temporary, making it incredibly valuable, irreplaceable, not even available in the Waterfall Lake Wonderland.

Even the Ten Sacred Domains wouldn’t sell such a treasure.

The Variant Water Emperor had consumed one in the First Saint Court to defeat the Ice Soul Cold Star, awakening a second talent, but it had still been instantly defeated.

And now, the other pill had been taken by Gong Lianyue and given to the scorpion.

After the Ice Soul Cold Star’s decision to duel Haze alone, the scorpion had also insisted on fighting the Lunar Colossus Servant in the Sea Dou Hall.

So, to ensure its victory, Gong Lianyue had given it the Dual Soul Pill, awakening its second talent.

“I wonder what talent the scorpion awakened…”

The Eight-Headed Mist Crow, with its Fear talent, could suppress even Samsara Stage opponents. If only the scorpion also awakened a powerful talent!

With this thought, Gong Lianyue glanced apologetically at the sobbing Variant Water Emperor, feeling a pang of guilt.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you another one later.”

“But I’ve already used one! I don’t need another! That was a token of affection!”

Seeing the Variant Water Emperor’s continued distress, the Water God Four Symbols couldn’t help but ask,

“Why do you have two tokens of affection?”

“…”
“…”
“…”

So it was two-timing. That explained it.

Sensing its companions’ strange looks, the Variant Water Emperor sobbed even louder.

At this moment, no one knew just how powerful the scorpion entering the Sea Dou Hall had become…

Chapter 270: The Sorrowful Saintess’s Limit

[Shui Huangyou, Seven-Foot Sword Princess Flower, Misty Heart Lotus] vs. [Moon Chaser]
[Ice Soul Cold Star, Ice Soul Cold Star] vs. [Haze]
[Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion] vs. [Lunar Colossus Servant]

Shui Huangyou had displayed overwhelming power earlier, so Gong Lianyue wasn’t particularly worried about the Moon Chaser.

However, the Ice Soul Cold Star and the scorpion, facing powerful opponents alone, made her uneasy. She was ready to have Sacred Water, Lover, merge with one of them at any moment.

If their auras faltered even slightly, Sacred Water, Lover, would activate its talent, boosting all her spirit beasts’ cultivation levels.

The Moon Chaser, Haze, and the Lunar Colossus Servant were occupied. Next were the even stronger opponents…

Gong Lianyue could sense the presence of beings she couldn’t possibly defeat.

But even so, she had to face them!

Only then could she minimize the casualties within the Sea Concubine Palace.

She would delay activating Sacred Water, Lover’s Limit Break talent for as long as possible, conserving her spirit energy for the final confrontation.

However, just as Gong Lianyue and her Saint-rank army were about to emerge from the remains of the Cold Shark Prison, they froze.

Their expressions turned to terror, their breathing ragged, as if suffocating, staring at the figure before them in disbelief.

A hundred meters away, a silver-haired woman with a massive rabbit tail casually strolled towards them.

A few strands of rabbit fur barely covered her voluptuous, snow-white body, her skin so smooth and delicate it seemed to glow.

The rabbit woman, her long, slender legs moving gracefully, her adorable, fluffy ears twitching, approached.

This was… the Tyrant Demon Seed!!!

Among the invading moonlight spirit beasts… was a Tyrant Demon Seed!

Swish—

The next second, Sacred Water, Lover, materialized without being summoned, its expression grim.

“Master, we have to run!”

“What?” Gong Lianyue stared at it in disbelief.

Then, sensing her other spirit beasts’ fear, she frowned, her teardrop eyes widening.

The Six-Faced God had recovered to the Nether Traverse Stage a few days ago, its spirit diagram awakened, and the Watery Years, although without a spirit diagram, was also at the False Soul Stage.

Besides them, the Variant Water Emperor, the Flowing Shadow, and the Water God Four Symbols were all at the Fourth Cycle of the Samsara Stage, while the Libra Fighting Swallow was at the Sixth Full Cycle.

And with a Dual Soul Pill, she could also summon Sacred Water, Lover, and the Tyrant Demon Seed.

Facing a single Tyrant Demon Seed with such a powerful lineup, and yet Sacred Water, Lover, was suggesting they run?

Just how strong was this rabbit?

“Master, I don’t think Shui Huangyou and the others can defeat the Moon Chaser. And this Tyrant Demon Seed’s aura… it’s ten times stronger than the Moon Chaser’s…”

“Ten times…!!!”

Hearing Sacred Water, Lover’s unprecedentedly serious tone, the other spirit beasts tensed, assuming battle stances.

This Tyrant Demon Seed from the Hegemony Moon Realm… it could be the most terrifying opponent they had ever faced!

The Flowing Shadow immediately released a dense black mist, preparing to seal the area.

However—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A deafening roar, and the ground beneath the Tyrant Demon Seed’s feet shattered, collapsing into a void.

The solid earth first crumbled into countless tiny cubes, then vaporized into dust.

The rabbit woman, propelled upwards by the explosion, a silver blur, instantly appeared before the Flowing Shadow, barely a hair’s breadth away.

The scene shifted rapidly, a smooth, almost impossible sequence of movements. Gong Lianyue and her other spirit beasts’ vision couldn’t keep up.

Within the distorting spirit energy fluctuations, the rabbit woman, moving at an impossible speed, unleashed a knee strike to the shadowy figure’s chest.

The Flowing Shadow’s spirit energy froze, like a steel bar bent out of shape.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

As the second explosion echoed, their minds finally caught up.

They saw the Flowing Shadow, like a meteor, sent flying, the impact throwing them off their feet, the shockwave tearing through the landscape, a deafening roar, the earth itself shifting and crumbling.

“…”
“…”

A few seconds later, as the dust settled, the spirit beasts were scattered, battered and bruised, separated by the Tyrant Demon Seed’s single attack.

The supposedly immortal Flowing Shadow had been sent flying more than ten kilometers away, unlikely to return anytime soon.

And the Six-Faced God, also at the False Soul Stage, stood frozen, its eyes wide with shock, unable to even blink.

The Sorrowful Saintess was indeed powerful, but they might actually be annihilated here…

Sacred Water, Lover, hadn’t been exaggerating. This Tyrant Demon Seed was far stronger than the three moonlight spirit beasts they had encountered earlier!

Both Tyrant Demon Seeds, but this one… was different from her own rabbit…

Enveloped in the pink, heart-shaped barrier formed by Sacred Water, Lover, watching the silver rabbit woman, surrounded by the other Saint-rank spirit beasts, Gong Lianyue, her hair disheveled, her teardrop eyes narrowed, silently swallowed a Dual Soul Pill. She finally understood Sacred Water, Lover’s warning.

She couldn’t defeat this opponent in her current state.

Confronting it meant risking everything, all her spirit beasts trapped here, a near-certain death sentence.

Gong Lianyue bit her lip, then sighed, resigned.

Sacred Water, Lover, Limit Break!

Boom!

A brilliant pink light erupted, several massive pink pillars of water shooting towards the sky, a deafening roar echoing.

Gong Lianyue’s spirit energy surged, instantly jumping from the Second Cycle to the Fifth Cycle, Broken Cycle, of the Samsara Stage, her Samsara Wheel shattering.

Another silver rabbit woman emerged from the void behind her, ready for battle.

[Sacred Water, Lover, Tyrant Demon Seed, Six-Faced God, Watery Years, Libra Fighting Swallow, Variant Water Emperor, Water God Four Symbols] versus [Tyrant Demon Seed]

The Sorrowful Saintess’s Saint-rank army, stopped by a single Tyrant Demon Seed, forced into a final, desperate battle.

The Azure Sea Crescent Bow, Sound Fang Soul Melody, and Autumn Night Sky were still rampaging through the Sea Concubine Palace, and another legendary being was lurking nearby.

But they couldn’t advance any further…

This was the Sorrowful Saintess’s limit.
