Chapter 331: The Sorrowful Saintess’ Ultimate Evolution, the Third Sacred Water: Ice Forged Decapitator!!!
The Nether Spring Narcissus, the purest and most pristine of elemental beings, its form a clear, untainted liquid, the ancient Water Empress.
The Nether Princess Bai Xue, a noble being born from a mutation among tens of thousands of Frost Snow Women, walking the world, a harbinger of icy slumber.
The Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower, the King of Flowers, its bloodline refined through countless cycles of reincarnation, the absolute ruler of plant-type spirit beasts.
The Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, a single slash capable of annihilating a realm, two extinguishing the fires of the Divine Court.
Hong Xiaoqianyu, no longer a threat.
Five legendary spirit beasts, plus the newly arrived Ice Forged Decapitator, their combined auras forming an impenetrable barrier around the blue-haired girl.
Snowflakes fell, peach blossoms scattered, a torrent of water surged. And amidst this chaotic display, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl extended a delicate, white hand.
Sensing the faint lunar aura emanating from the girl, the Ice Forged Decapitator, also slightly bewildered, finally understood.
The watery scarf swirling around its core detached from the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s sleeve and respectfully floated towards the blue-haired girl’s outstretched arm.
“Ice Forged Decapitator, greetings, Ninth Seat!!”
“…”
“…”
Perhaps the others didn’t understand the significance of these words, but at this moment, both the Laughing Red Moon and the Umbrella Immortal of the Moon Protection Court understood the true extent of their despair.
Their minds and bodies froze, a chilling dread, their fear palpable.
So, the Ninth Seat of October… wasn’t a single being, but a human Spirit Master commanding a legion of legendary spirit beasts!!!
The blue-haired girl, her wave-patterned robe, her teardrop eyes… she looked more like a legendary spirit beast in human form.
This was the Ninth Seat of October…
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess!!!
Just as the Ice Forged Decapitator had said, it hadn’t known the Ninth Seat’s identity.
But upon meeting a member of October, it would recognize them.
And no matter the circumstances, no mistakes, no accidents, no amount of danger, could change the inevitable outcome.
As the leader of the Second Disaster Zone, the Ninth Seat’s authority was absolute!!!
“I hear… you have a gift for me?”
The blue-haired girl, her expression calm, held up the shimmering, water-colored scarf.
The scattered resources had been recovered. Although a massive amount, it wasn’t exactly a “surprise.”
What could be considered a surprise, even by the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s standards? Gong Lianyue was curious.
However, the Ice Forged Decapitator blinked, a confused expression on its face.
A gift? What gift? It didn’t know anything about a gift.
“?”
“?”
They stared at each other for a moment, then Gong Lianyue’s teardrop eyes widened as realization dawned.
So that was what the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer had meant!
[Legendary-rank – Water Attribute – Weapon Type – Attachment Type – Ice Forged Decapitator]
The Ice Forged Decapitator, ranked third among the Ten Sacred Waters, a treasure coveted by every water-type spirit beast!!!
It could amplify the spirit energy damage inflicted upon an enemy, turning every blow into a thousand cuts, or delay the onset of an attack’s effects.
In other words, the Ice Forged Decapitator could negate the damage her allies inflicted, storing it, then unleashing it all at once, a devastating, amplified attack.
Only pure destruction could satisfy the Ice Forged Decapitator’s bloodlust. Therefore, the all-purpose Nether Princess Bai Xue was more appealing to it than the mysterious Nether Spring Narcissus.
With the Ice Forged Decapitator, even without special techniques, its power far surpassed any other weapon.
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, having tasked the Ice Forged Decapitator with delivering the resources, that was the surprise gift!!
An opportunity to interact with one of the Ten Sacred Waters… wasn’t that a surprise…?
Realizing this, Gong Lianyue opened her mouth to speak.
“Ice Forged Decapitator, will you—”
[It would be my honor.]
Before Gong Lianyue could even finish, the Ice Forged Decapitator eagerly agreed.
It could naturally sense that the Ninth Seat had just reached the Nether Traverse Stage, a new contract slot available.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The next second, a brilliant, azure light erupted, a wave of sea-colored energy washing over the Grand Yin Concealed Rain Pavilion.
The blinding light forced everyone to shield their eyes, unable to look directly at the holy pillar of light.
The Eternal Holy Water, the Snow Monarch.
Never Forget Autumn Water, the Illusion Sea Concubine.
The Sea Breath Cradle, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer.
The Waterlogged Nether Ring, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine.
The Frozen Stone Flow Killer, the Winter Bone Azure Horn.
Its sisters had all found powerful masters, dominating the spirit world, while it alone remained, wandering.
It had witnessed the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake’s elegance, the Thousand Seas Lord’s unmatched power. It had considered them, even regretted its choices, but it had never truly been satisfied.
However, at this moment, it knew its journey had reached its end. The one it would follow was here.
On this day, the third of the Ten Sacred Waters finally chose its master.
The Ice Forged Decapitator pledged its allegiance to Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess!!!
Whoosh—
As the azure light faded, a breathtakingly beautiful figure, a girl with long, flowing blue hair, was revealed.
Her fingers and toes, now a vibrant blue, her hair, like flowing water, scattering shimmering droplets that slid down her delicate skin, a seductive sight.
Her soft, white body was clad in a loose, bathrobe-like, water-blue garment, a deep, inviting cleavage, an aura of comfort and allure.
And most striking was the shimmering blue ribbon swirling behind her, like a divine being descending, ethereal, dreamlike.
An indescribable beauty, an overwhelming power, a chilling aura.
At this moment, Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, her appearance almost divine, had surpassed the limits of human evolution.
[??Legendary-rank??]
[??Ice Forged Decapitator??]
Chapter 332: The Corpse Speaks
[?Legendary Rank?]
[??Ice Forged Decapitator??]
A magnificent, translucent robe, its revealing nature undeniably… suggestive, yet the azure ribbon swirling behind Gong Lianyue was ethereal, like a descending goddess, its aura breathtaking.
Even the legendary beings present were momentarily stunned by her beauty.
Could a human Spirit Master truly achieve such a form?
Perhaps in the entire spirit world, there was no human comparable to her…
From this day forward, her rivals would be the overlords of countless realms, the titled legendary beings standing at the apex of the spirit world, even the Four Shields, the Six Disasters, and the Seven Concubines.
As the Ninth Seat of October, Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, had taken her first step towards the pinnacle of power.
Immersed in the dense, overflowing water spirit energy, the blue-haired girl, her compassionate yet indifferent, teardrop eyes, casually glanced at the four legendary beings high above.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The next second, an overwhelming torrent of water spirit energy erupted, the air cracking and shattering, like frozen shards.
As the violent, azure wave washed over them, the legendary beings, including the Laughing Red Moon, felt a suffocating pressure, as if plunged into the depths of the ocean.
This was… the aura of the Ice Forged Decapitator…!!
Attachment-type weapon spirit beasts, especially the Ten Sacred Waters, were more than just tools.
They were inseparable from their wielders, their bond so profound, their resonance so perfect, they were practically one being.
From the moment Gong Lianyue arrived, the Laughing Red Moon’s aura had been suppressed.
Under the gazes of several legendary beings, it hadn’t dared to move, afraid of a sudden, coordinated attack.
It could only watch helplessly as the blue-haired girl formed a contract with the Ice Forged Decapitator, surrounded by a protective barrier of legendary beings, untouchable.
Its situation… had become even more desperate…
Its initial plan to defeat the Ninth Seat of October was now a joke. The Laughing Red Moon, the Third King of the Moon Protection Court, couldn’t even escape.
[Choose. Death, or submission.]
A cold, female voice echoed in the Laughing Red Moon’s mind, a chilling wave of spirit energy.
Its initially shocked expression hardened into a grimace as it glared at the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl below, her lips unmoving.
This arrogant human, mimicking a legendary being’s method of communication!
This silent, telepathic communication, directly into one’s mind, was different from the crude spirit energy transmissions used by human Spirit Masters.
Those were essentially just… telepathic shouting, limited by range and easily disrupted.
But Gong Lianyue’s method, a direct resonance between soul cores, bypassing language and even species, transcending time and space…
This was why the true names of legendary beings couldn’t be spoken aloud. Even hidden within a secret realm, their true nature would be revealed.
A mere human Spirit Master, daring to act like a legendary being…
Swish—
The next second, the Laughing Red Moon’s spirit energy erupted, tears of frustration and rage welling up in its bloodshot eyes.
Then, with a massive crescent moon rising behind it, it transformed into a red blur, fleeing.
Its speed, fueled by rage, was incredible, almost instantly reaching the edge of the Grand Yin Concealed Rain Pavilion’s territory.
It was an overlord-level legendary being. Escaping should be easy, as long as that little Snow Monarch didn’t interfere…
It wasn’t afraid of the Nether Spring Narcissus or the Nine-Petal Peach Silk Snow Lotus Flower. Although it couldn’t defeat them, compared to the Nether Princess Bai Xue, whose ice could freeze anything, they were manageable.
However, seeing the Laughing Red Moon flee, the Nether Princess Bai Xue didn’t react.
Instead, the Nether Spring Narcissus raised the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, a dark, shadowy mist swirling around the blade.
After all, the outcome would be the same, regardless of who attacked.
Whoosh!!!
The black Water Element swung the blade, a black crescent moon erupting, a wave of annihilation.
A terrifying shockwave, tearing through the air, shattering mountains, a massive, shadowy crescent moon slash, chasing the distant red blur.
Sensing the approaching blade, the Laughing Red Moon turned sharply, its hands clapping together.
At the same time, the blue-haired girl, standing motionless, made a strange chopping motion with her hand.
Crack!
Two massive, blood-red bone hands materialized, crushing the surrounding spirit energy, leaving a bloody palm print in the air.
The Laughing Red Moon’s signature technique, the Crimson Finger Blood Grip, had seemingly crushed the black crescent moon.
However, it frowned, sensing something amiss.
It hadn’t felt any impact, as if the black crescent moon had simply… vanished.
“What… what just happened…?”
The next second, the Laughing Red Moon realized something, its words trailing off.
It stared in horror at the distant blue-haired girl.
She was reverting to her normal form, her body naked, exposed, and her other legendary spirit beasts were also returning to her spirit space, as if the battle was over.
The corpse… was speaking…
“Ice Forged Decapitator!!!”
Crack—
With the Laughing Red Moon’s final, desperate cry, the black crescent moon within its body exploded, its flesh and blood splattering, a gruesome display, a terrifying wave of shadowy energy.
The Laughing Red Moon’s attack hadn’t even touched the Shadowlurking Blade’s slash. The black crescent moon, upon striking it, hadn’t exploded, but had flowed into its body, a delayed detonation.
Their spirit energies never actually clashed, like a swing and a miss.
A one-sided slaughter. This was the power of the Ice Forged Decapitator, one of the Ten Sacred Waters…
Meanwhile, Gong Lianyue stood there, naked, her body exposed, a strangely indecent sight…
Why didn’t her clothes reappear after the transformation…?
