The Saintess Has A Showdown 287-288

Chapter 287: The Six Disasters

“Eh? What’s the Ice Soul Cold Star doing here?”

As Gong Lianyue watched, puzzled, the Ice Soul Cold Star projected its thoughts into her mind.

Ah, so it just wanted those three Ice Soul Magic Crystals sent by the Winter Floating Sky. That made sense…

The ice spirit energy contained within Ice Soul Magic Crystals was hundreds of times denser than ordinary Ice Soul Stones. It was no wonder the Ice Soul Cold Star was so eager, radiating an almost frantic desire, as if afraid someone would steal them.

Such a glutton!

Gong Lianyue chuckled inwardly, watching the purple elemental figure happily return with the three shimmering crystals.

However, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, seeing this, its dull gray eyes narrowed, a strange expression on its face, as if it had a sudden idea.

Wait, surely it didn’t…

“Gong Lianyue, do you know why I’m really here?”

“Isn’t it to seek revenge against the Frost Snow Woman after your defeat in the Soul Prison Trial?” Gong Lianyue asked, blinking in confusion.

“Of course not! I came here seeking allies against the Moon Calamity,” the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer shook its head innocently, a sly glint in its gray eyes.

“The Moon Calamity again…?”

Gong Lianyue frowned. Shui Huangyou’s reason for building a gate in the Sea Region was also related to the Moon Calamity.

Just how powerful was this White Moon Lord, the Moon Calamity? Its influence seemed to span multiple realms.

She was still skeptical. Even a being as powerful as the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer feared the Moon Calamity?

“Then why not just tell your subordinates the truth? They would obey, wouldn’t they?”

“Well…”

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer hesitated. Just then, the Lunar Colossus Servant, carrying a boulder, walked past, and she called out to it.

“Hey, do you think I can defeat the Moon Calamity?”

“The Moon Calamity? That thing? It’s not even worthy of carrying Master’s shoes! It should just kill itself, a disgrace to our moonlight lineage!”

“Now, scram!”

Having received the desired response, the Lunar Colossus Servant, dismissed by the little deer, lumbered away.

Then, under the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s knowing gaze, Gong Lianyue, embarrassed, lowered her head.

She had also thought the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer shouldn’t fear the Moon Calamity.

“See? These idiots can’t comprehend the power of the Six Disasters. Do you think they would believe me? Although, once they actually see the White Moon Lord, they’ll probably be begging for mercy.”

“Y-Yes, ignorance is truly terrifying~~~” Gong Lianyue mumbled, her face burning.

“But… is the Six Disasters really that terrifying?” After a moment, she couldn’t help but ask.

“…”
“…”

After a long silence, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer sighed, its eyes filled with an unprecedented gravity.

For this arrogant, violent creature to show such an expression… Gong Lianyue held her breath, anticipating its answer.

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s voice was low and serious.

“The Myriad Volt Phoenix, the Harbinger of the Boom Calamity, its body covered in ten thousand feathers, its wings a dreamlike blur, capable of destroying hundreds of realms with a single burst of its feathers!!!!”

“The World-Ending Azure Sky, the Harbinger of the Destruction Calamity, the supreme weapon-type spirit beast, once shattered the Tenth Sacred Domain with a single sword strike, annihilating a titled legendary being and three ordinary legendary beings!!!!”

“The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, the Harbinger of the Frozen Calamity, its eight techniques defying heaven, its icy grip freezing a thousand realms, its spirit energy capacity and the power of its techniques eight times greater than other legendary beings, an insurmountable foe!!!!”

“The Blood-Red Nightmare, the Harbinger of the Dream Calamity, with a single thought, it can drag the inhabitants of a hundred realms into a shared nightmare, holding the record for the most simultaneous deaths in the spirit world!!!!”

“The Ink Princess, the Harbinger of the Ferocious Calamity, a monster whose body can grow infinitely, its head alone larger than an ordinary realm!!!!”

“And the White Moon Lord, leader of the Six Disasters, the Moon Calamity, the Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, after a century of slumber, awakens to annihilation, a single leap shattering three thousand realms, its fall destroying countless lives!!!!”

“And the former Harbinger of the Ferocious Calamity, the titled legendary Cold Deer King, a White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, which devoured the moons of countless realms, plunging them into darkness, its actions leading to the decline of moonlight spirit beasts, before finally being hunted down and killed…”

Hearing the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s grim recounting, Gong Lianyue also felt a shiver of fear.

The White Moon Lord, the leader of the Six Disasters, was also the ancestor of the Tyrant Demon Seed!

A single leap shattering three thousand realms, its fall destroying countless lives…

Such terrifying, unimaginable power… and this was the disaster the spirit world was about to face…?

As dread filled Gong Lianyue’s heart, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer continued,

“The Six Disasters bear a Disaster Ring. When they are about to act, the ring expands, encompassing hundreds of realms, warning all life.”

“The Moon Calamity will awaken in two and a half years. Its movements have already been foreseen by mysterious-type spirit beasts and warnings sent throughout the spirit world. Of course, insignificant realms like yours, too weak to even offer any resistance, won’t be notified. If you survive, it simply means someone else has saved the world~~~”

“But the Heavy Rain Realm, being the second disaster zone, seems to be panicking, building spirit gates everywhere. I wonder what they’re planning.”

The White Moon Lord’s awakening was divided into ten stages, each corresponding to a designated disaster zone. The later the zone, the greater the devastation.

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, as the ruler of the Hegemony Moon Realm, the seventh disaster zone, wasn’t worried at all, even coming to the second disaster zone to recruit allies.

“Of course, my goal isn’t to avoid the Moon Calamity, but to defeat it!!”

“The more the pawns in the earlier disaster zones weaken the Moon Calamity, the easier it will be for the stronger beings in the later zones. Finally, we will combine our forces in the tenth disaster zone and face the White Moon Lord in a final battle!!”

“Among us are legendary beings seeking the titles of the Seven Concubines, moonlight spirit beasts seeking to defeat the strongest, ferocious beasts seeking to overthrow the Six Disasters, powerful beings seeking to protect their realms, and even those among the Six Disasters themselves, arrogant enough to challenge the Moon Calamity!!”

“So, join us! Join October!”

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer extended a slender leg towards Gong Lianyue.

Chapter 288: Gong Lianyue, Ninth Seat of October!

Colorless and dim, a crescent moon hung in the sky.

Within a dark, inky black void, devoid of light and sound, only a shimmering silver crescent moon illuminated the desolate landscape, radiating a strange aura.

In this world, all beings were reduced to shadowy silhouettes, their forms and colors lost, only their outlines, reflecting the moonlight, visible.

She could sense countless powerful presences, their gazes fixed upon her.

Staring…

Within this bizarre world, neither dream nor reality, Gong Lianyue, her expression calm and unwavering, followed the path illuminated by the crescent moon.

After an unknown amount of time, a structure, an open-air palace made of moonlit stone, appeared in the distance.

Within the palace, ten massive thrones formed a circle, eight occupied by shadowy figures, the remaining two empty.

Among the eight figures, some had antlers, some were adorned with blades, some were colossal in size, and some were simply swirling elemental forms.

The Lunar Demon Hall – October!

The Lunar Demon Hall was an organization dedicated to opposing the Moon Calamity, and October referred to its ten highest-ranking members, also known as the Disaster Zone Leaders.

Below the thrones, countless shadowy figures stirred, even several legendary beings among them.

Normally, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer should have introduced itself as a member of the Lunar Demon Hall, but it had used the name “October” instead.

“White Deer, I heard you had a fight with someone in the Heavy Rain Realm and lost?”

“Are you stupid? I’ve never been to the Heavy Rain Realm. I went to the Sea Region. That rumor has been twisted and distorted countless times!”

Hearing this, the antlered figure bristled, snapping at the elemental figure across from it.

So aggressive. The elemental figure, its shadowy form flickering, shrank back, not daring to argue.

“The Sea Region? Which Sea Region?” another shadowy figure on a throne asked curiously.

“Which Sea Region do you think? The one the Snow Monarch visited recently.”

“The Snow Monarch…!!!”

“Didn’t the Snow Monarch go to the Heavy Rain Realm?” the elemental figure interjected, confused.

“Are you brain-dead? Do you even know any other realms besides the Heavy Rain Realm?” This time, it wasn’t the antlered figure who snapped, but a massive giant.

“Then, which realm… is in charge of that Sea Region’s war zone?”

“I can’t remember. Something like… the Cangsheng Palace?” the antlered woman said casually.

“It’s the Endless Swamp, a subsidiary realm of the Heavy Rain Realm.”

Hearing this, the eight shadowy figures on the thrones turned their gazes towards a small, unremarkable, humanoid figure nearby.

Seeing the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer spreading false information, Gong Lianyue stepped forward.

The ruler of their war zone was the Endless Swamp, not the Cangsheng Palace. Such careless words could spark a conflict!

The Cangsheng Palace had suffered enough.

“You’ve arrived. Please, take a seat.”

Hearing the antlered woman’s familiar voice, Gong Lianyue nodded calmly and, under the watchful gazes of the other seven figures, walked towards the ninth throne.

Within this strange secret realm, where everything was either black or a reflection of the moonlight, they couldn’t discern her true origin or identity.

Under their scrutiny, Gong Lianyue sat down on the ninth throne.

From now on, this vacant Moon Throne… belonged to her!

Incidentally, Gong Lianyue had joined October simply because she had heard that the Heavy Rain Realm had a 0.00000% chance of surviving the Moon Calamity.

She didn’t want to be randomly annihilated by a stray shockwave while enjoying her peaceful life in the Sea Region.

Facing the Six Disasters, most were powerless, but Gong Lianyue could choose her own fate.

“How should we address you?” the blade-covered figure asked.

“Sorrow.”

“Sorrow, do you understand the significance of this throne? This is the seat of the Second Disaster Zone Leader, responsible for facing the Moon Calamity.”

“It’s fine.”

“…”
“…”

Gong Lianyue’s voice was calm and indifferent.

Such arrogance, silencing the other figures, even the hundreds of shadowy figures below the thrones were intimidated.

That was the White Moon Lord they were talking about. Just what kind of being was this woman, making such bold claims?!

Just the fact that she could calmly converse with eight overlord-level legendary beings was… unusual.

The antlered figure, however, smiled, pleased, its slender legs swaying, its fingers tapping impatiently on the armrest of the throne.

After a moment of silence, the blade-covered figure spoke.

“Since you were recommended by White Deer, I have no objections.”

“The October meetings are held monthly. You may request any cultivation resources, spirit crystals, or even specific types of spirit beasts.”

“The Lunar Demon Hall offers you its unconditional support. However, Sorrow, you understand the price of sitting on this throne.”

“Yes, I will arrive in the Heavy Rain Realm within a month and remain there until the Moon Calamity arrives,” Gong Lianyue replied calmly.

“Good. The Ninth Seat is now filled. Only the Tenth Seat, the First Disaster Zone Leader, remains vacant. I hope you will all continue your search.”

As the blade-covered figure finished speaking, the moonlit world shattered like a mirror.

Gong Lianyue’s vision blurred, and she found herself back in the icy cold pool of the Sea Concubine Palace.

Sea Region, Sea Concubine Palace

“So that’s the October meeting…”

The blue-haired girl, immersed in the icy pool, muttered to herself, a shiver running down her spine.

The Sea Concubine Palace buildings, damaged during the Water-Moon War, were being rebuilt. Only this cold pool, where generations of Saintesses had bathed, remained intact. That was why she had come here for the secret meeting.

She had just faced several overlord-level legendary beings. Even she hadn’t expected to remain so calm. A single moment of hesitation or fear would have been instantly detected.

The girl dried herself and took a few deep breaths, still slightly shaken.

Within her soul core, a tiny, crescent moon-shaped fragment shimmered faintly.

This was the “key” given to her by the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, granting her access to the Lunar Demon Hall’s secret realm and allowing her to communicate with the other members of October.

From now on, Gong Lianyue was the Ninth Seat of October!

Judging from that brief meeting, there were at least twenty legendary beings present!

And her presence, her aura, had intimidated even them…
