Chapter 279: Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, a Legendary Descends!!
Amidst a shower of peach blossom petals, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with nine peach blossom branches emerged, painting the world a vibrant pink.
Not just the Sea Concubine Palace, but the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers was enveloped in her terrifying aura.
At this moment, even Autumn Night Sky, or a being ten times stronger, wouldn’t stand a chance.
The Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, a legendary-rank spirit beast.
The King of Flowers, of the same lineage as the Seven Concubines!!!
The true form of the Sorrowful Saintess Gong Lianyue’s final spirit beast was finally revealed, a shocking and awe-inspiring sight.
Autumn Night Sky surrendered without a fight. After all, survival was a prerequisite for any future plans.
Witnessing this terrifying display, the other spirit beasts froze, unable to move.
The Moon Chaser stared in disbelief, its eyes widening, its breath catching in its throat.
The Tyrant Demon Seed, barely conscious, floating on the surface of the sea, could still sense that overwhelming aura.
The Lunar Colossus Servant, trembling, cowered among the ruins of the Sea Concubine Palace, its massive, three-thousand-meter-tall form a comical sight.
Sound Fang Soul Melody, its mind reeling, collapsed to the ground, its gaze fixed on the distant scene, recalling the Ice Soul Cold Star’s mocking smirk.
No one had told them the Sorrowful Saintess possessed a legendary being of this caliber!!!
With the arrival of the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, the moonlight spirit beasts’ invasion had failed.
The Sorrowful Saintess had once again dominated the battlefield with a single legendary being!
Just how many legendary spirit beasts did this woman have?
The mysterious Water Element, the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, Hong Xiaoqianyu, the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake, the Snow Monarch, and now the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower.
Without knowing the details, one might assume this was a legendary love triangle (or rather, a love hexagon), a battle for the Sorrowful Saintess’s affection.
To have so many legendary beings fighting over her…
However, at this moment, high above the Sea Region, in the clouds…
The white-haired, antlered woman stood in the air, her dull gray eyes fixed on the purple, horned, doll-like elemental figure. They stared at each other for several minutes.
Then, the seven ice arms floating behind the purple doll suddenly became eight, indicating that the one-horned Ice Soul Cold Star’s spirit energy had been depleted and it had returned.
In fact, if it wanted to, it could create eight more Ice Soul Cold Stars.
Having absorbed a thousand Ice Soul Stones, the purple doll’s spirit energy was practically limitless. Unfortunately, burdened by the Disaster Ring, it couldn’t act freely, at least not offensively.
Only when the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower’s aura erupted did the white-haired deer woman’s cold expression crack, and she began to mutter to herself, a hint of madness in her voice.
“The White Moon Lord, leader of the Six Disasters, the Moon Calamity, after a century of slumber, awakens to annihilation, a single leap shattering three thousand realms, its fall destroying countless lives.”
“The Heavy Rain Realm, designated as the second impact zone of the Moon Calamity, its chances of survival less than 0.00001%. You understand this, don’t you?”
“But… that’s not right. Why… the aura I sensed wasn’t yours…”
“Not yours, not the Nether Spring Narcissus’s, not that flower’s… then who? There’s another… the Snow Monarch was here, my mark is gone…!!”
Seeing the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s increasingly frantic demeanor, the purple elemental figure didn’t answer, but asked its own question.
[Why the White Moon Lord?]
“…”
“…”
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, surprised by the question, paused, its chaotic aura calming.
Its earlier outburst hadn’t been a sign of madness, but a manifestation of its destructive instincts, triggered by unanswered questions, a characteristic of the Six Disasters.
Taking a deep breath, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer finally answered,
“The White Moon Lord isn’t just a titled legendary being, but also the leader of the Six Disasters, the Moon Calamity. And she’s moonlight-attribute. And coincidentally, my Hegemony Moon Realm is the seventh disaster zone. Who else could it be? I’ll reclaim our clan’s title as the Harbinger of Disaster and spread my terror throughout the spirit world!”
“As for the Illusion Sea Concubine, I’ll deal with her later.”
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, the most ferocious clan in the spirit world, the former Harbinger of Disaster, its title now usurped.
The reason for the usurpation was that the Illusion Sea Concubine was gentle, kind, and helpful, unlike the other, more ferocious White Flower Moon-Treading Deer. She was more like a pampered princess.
Thus, the title of Harbinger of Disaster had been… revoked, a humiliation, a disgrace to the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer clan.
After defeating the White Moon Lord, its next target was the Illusion Sea Concubine.
Having explained, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer extended its delicate, white hands towards the purple elemental figure.
“Join us, October. The Legendary Alliance, formed to defeat the White Moon Lord. That is why I’m here.”
“…”
“…”
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer wasn’t a fool. It hadn’t come all this way just for revenge over a minor humiliation at the hands of a Saint-rank. That was a story it told its followers. It had another reason for coming to the Sea Region.
During its defeat in the Soul Prison Trial, it had felt… mocked.
Not by the Nether Spring Narcissus, not by this purple elemental doll, and not by that flower king below.
But it didn’t matter now. This purple elemental figure… its true identity was… terrifying. It was enough.
However, the purple elemental figure didn’t answer, but looked down at the Sea Region below, a strange expression on its face.
Following its gaze, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer also looked down, its eyes settling on the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl.
Then, a chilling voice, the purple elemental figure’s, echoed in its mind.
[Very well, but first… you have to defeat us.]
Chapter 280: The Water Element Returns!!!!!
Upon the boundless azure sea, the shattered remnants of the Sea Concubine Palace lay scattered.
Buildings could be rebuilt, but a defeat, a loss of face, would be a devastating blow to their reputation, undoing millennia of accumulated prestige.
However, at this moment, the Sorrowful Saintess acted.
Gong Lianyue, single-handedly, had defeated all the invading moonlight spirit beasts. Except for the Azure Sea Crescent Bow, which was currently battling the Six Concubines somewhere, the other spirit beasts had been subdued by the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower’s terrifying aura.
Haze had been annihilated by the Ice Soul Cold Star, the Moon Chaser scared off, the Lunar Colossus Servant demoralized, and the Tyrant Demon Seed severely injured by Gong Lianyue’s combined forces.
Sound Fang Soul Melody had also been defeated by an unknown opponent, its remaining spirit energy fading.
And finally, Autumn Night Sky, under the watchful eyes of all, had been humiliated into submission.
This Water-Moon War… was a victory for the Sorrowful Saintess!
The Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, the second legendary spirit beast after the mysterious Water Element to reveal its true form. It seemed it wasn’t the Sorrowful Saintess’s companion spirit beast, but one she had subdued later…
At this moment, the Sea Concubine Palace members, their gazes fixed on the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl, dared not approach.
The aura radiating from the pink flower woman beside her was simply too terrifying, the blooming peach blossoms like a scene from a grand funeral.
This was a completely different level of power from the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, or Hong Xiaoqianyu. Even among legendary beings, the difference in strength was vast.
In fact, the gap between legendary beings was even greater than the gap between low-rank and Saint-rank spirit beasts.
Legendary beings, the rulers of the spirit world, their power on a different plane.
“Strange, the battle is over. What is the Saintess still doing?”
“She seems to be waiting for someone…”
Seeing the blue-haired girl standing motionless, a serious expression on her face, the Sea Concubine Palace members began to murmur amongst themselves.
Gong Lianyue was waiting, waiting for that chaotic, violent spirit energy in the sky, that terrifying, impending presence.
[Everyone, retreat immediately! Do not approach!]
A few seconds later, Gong Lianyue’s voice, amplified by her spirit energy, echoed throughout the Sea Concubine Palace.
After a moment of confusion, the Sea Concubine Palace members quickly retreated, clearing the area.
They didn’t know if they would be affected by the aftershocks, but at least they wouldn’t be directly exposed to the aura.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The next second, the sea churned violently as a white figure descended from the sky, its impact creating a massive crater in the ocean.
A towering wave, a terrifying aura.
A beautiful, antlered woman, her features as delicate as snow, her white hair shimmering like fireflies, appeared.
Her slender legs bent at the knees, her expression cold, she stood on the water, radiating a terrifying hostility.
Seeing this breathtaking figure, several of the more knowledgeable Spirit Masters collapsed, their fear paralyzing them.
Such a powerful being… in the Sea Region…?
So those moonlight spirit beasts that invaded earlier were her subordinates?
Of the same lineage as the Seven Concubines, the former Harbinger of Disaster, the ruler of the Hegemony Moon Realm, inheritor of the most ferocious bloodline—the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer!!!
Although newly born, its power was already terrifying, its aura like that of a winter empress, invincible.
Even among legendary beings, many feared and respected it, a symbol of violence, madness, terror, despair, and unmatched power, truly deserving of the title “most ferocious.”
“As you wished.”
The white-haired deer woman muttered softly, then gracefully took a step forward.
A wave of white energy, like a tsunami, surged outwards, dissolving everything in its path.
Every legendary being possessed a unique aura, related to its abilities, a force incomprehensible to humans.
Like the Snow Monarch’s silent freeze, the Jade Concubine’s black water flood, and the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s dissolving touch, all testaments to the fact that only a legendary being could defeat another legendary being.
At this moment, the white wave, like a crashing tide, rushed towards the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl.
“It’s over! The little fox is a fake! It can’t withstand this!!”
Gong Lianyue’s eyes spun rapidly, her mind racing, her thoughts moving faster than ever before.
However, before she could make a decision, something unbelievable happened.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The white wave crashed against a shower of falling peach blossom petals and vanished without a trace, as if absorbed.
A pink aura, emanating from the flower woman, clashed with the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s white wave.
[Battle Technique – Possessing the Divine]
“…”
“…”
The little fox… it could mimic a legendary being’s aura?
Gong Lianyue’s heart pounded, but she remained outwardly calm, protected by the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower.
However, this rapid depletion of spirit energy couldn’t continue. She had to find a way to defeat this opponent.
Her Azure Heart of Water had reached the sixth stage, allowing her to instantly unleash six times her normal spirit energy output. Combined with her Dual Soul Body’s double reserves, and Sacred Water, Lover’s soon-to-recover Limit Break talent, she could temporarily contend with a legendary being.
At this moment, Gong Lianyue had two choices.
One, unleash the Nether Spring Narcissus, burning through all her spirit energy. But that would only last about ten seconds before she collapsed.
Summoning a legendary being at the Second Cycle of the Samsara Stage was already pushing her limits. Any longer, and she might die.
Two, unleash the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, a single, devastating strike!
Slaying concepts was just the blade’s basic ability, not a special technique. Its true power was far greater.
If she could find the right angle, the right moment, she might be able to defeat the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer with a single blow!
After all, ten seconds… was too short…
Just as Gong Lianyue made up her mind, reaching for the black, shadowy blade in her storage artifact, her hand closed on empty air.
The Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, was gone.
Then, hearing the crowd’s frantic screams and cheers, she understood.
Behind her, a graceful, black, water-based, female elemental figure, wearing a dark crown and holding a massive, black, seductive blade, emerged from the void.
At this moment, the legendary Water Element had returned to the Sea Region!!!
