Chapter 335: The Moon Calamity Awakens!!!
[High-rank: Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower]
[Saint-rank: ?Ice Soul Cold Star?]
[Saint-rank: ?Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion?]
[Saint-rank: ?Sacred Water, Lover?]
[Saint-rank: ?Tyrant Demon Seed?]
[?Legendary-rank? – ??Nether Spring Narcissus??]
[????Legendary-rank???? – ??Nether Princess Bai Xue??]
[??Legendary-rank?? – ??Ice Forged Decapitator??]
Having broken through to the Nether Traverse Stage, Gong Lianyue could now clearly see the details of her legendary spirit beasts.
The Nether Spring Narcissus, an elemental, mysterious type, its bloodline talent [Nether Melody], could shift its existence and spirit energy to another dimension, becoming intangible, yet also capable of permeating any substance, even suppressing the Eternal Holy Water.
The Nether Princess Bai Xue, an elemental, all-purpose type, its bloodline talent [Snow Dust], its function currently unknown, different from the Snow Monarch’s.
The Ice Forged Decapitator, a weapon-type, attachment type, its bloodline talent [Nirvana Slaughter], could negate the impact of spirit energy collisions, bypassing all defenses, the natural enemy of the Unbreakable Four Shields.
Now, in this realm, Gong Lianyue was practically invincible.
Three overlord-level legendary spirit beasts, and a Dual Soul Body, allowing her to summon them all simultaneously an insurmountable force.
However, the Moon Calamity was about to awaken. This was her only true threat.
–Within the main hall of the Three Lives Gate in the Heavy Rain Realm.
The blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl, clad in a translucent bathrobe, sat in meditation, channeling her spirit energy to her spirit beasts, assisting them in constructing their spirit diagrams.
A spirit diagram was the materialization of a spirit beast’s will, its aura given form. The illusory stage was the False Soul Stage, the true, tangible form the True Soul Stage.
This was a crucial step for all spirit beasts, whether high-rank, Saint-rank, or legendary, a chance to transcend their limitations.
Constructing a legendary spirit diagram required the life core of a legendary being, but the Ice Forged Decapitator had only brought two, not including its own.
Therefore, Gong Lianyue had sent the Nether Spring Narcissus and the Nether Princess Bai Xue on… shopping trips.
The Nether Spring Narcissus hadn’t found any legendary cores in the Star River Bathing Rain Sect, but it had brought back the Lost Scroll from the Endless Cloud Sea trial.
The Nether Princess Bai Xue had successfully obtained a legendary core from the Grand Yin Concealed Rain Pavilion, supposedly an ancestral relic, a treasure even the Ice Yin Sword Princess had been unwilling to use for her own breakthrough. But it didn’t matter now.
Three legendary cores, for three legendary spirit beasts…
As for her other, Saint-rank spirit beasts, although they lacked legendary cores, they had more than enough other resources to construct powerful spirit diagrams.
At this moment, sitting calmly on the throne, her spirit energy resonating with her spirit beasts’, Gong Lianyue could sense the vague shapes of their developing spirit diagrams.
She first checked on the Ice Soul Cold Star.
Having awakened from its two-year slumber, the Ice Soul Cold Star, which had been inactive, could finally be summoned, though it was currently busy constructing its spirit diagram.
It seemed to be creating a strange, purple, crystalline cube, likely inspired by its Ice Emperor City battle technique.
Its aura and scale were impressive. Gong Lianyue was pleased. She then turned her attention to the scorpion.
The scorpion was constructing a magnificent suit of icy armor, large enough to cover its massive body, requiring a large quantity of ice-type treasures and spirit crystals.
The mountain of resources within the hall was rapidly diminishing. It was definitely the most resource-intensive of her spirit beasts.
Sacred Water, Lover, was constructing a simple, floating heart. Its appearance seemed unremarkable, and it wasn’t consuming much energy.
Although slightly concerned, Gong Lianyue trusted Sacred Water, Lover’s judgment. It had seen enough of the world not to create a weak spirit diagram.
Her last Saint-rank spirit beast, the Tyrant Demon Seed.
The rabbit’s overall combat ability was the highest among her Saint-ranks, and it also possessed the battle experience of a Sun and Moon Realm being.
Its previous spirit diagram had been a massive full moon. Now, given the opportunity to recreate it, it was simply making the moon bigger, a rather uninspired approach.
Well, the rabbit wasn’t known for its intelligence. Gong Lianyue didn’t have high expectations for its spirit diagram.
The Ice Soul Cold Star’s spirit diagram was a cube, the Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion’s was a suit of armor, Sacred Water, Lover’s was a heart, and the Tyrant Demon Seed’s was still that giant full moon.
That left the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, the only one below Saint-rank.
To Gong Lianyue’s surprise, it wasn’t creating anything fox-related, but a delicate petal.
The petal’s shape seemed familiar, but she couldn’t place it. It must have been from a flower the little fox had seen a long time ago.
Besides the legendary spirit beasts, whose spirit diagram construction process was incredibly complex, the others were progressing rapidly.
Time flew by, and Gong Lianyue had been in seclusion for more than two months.
Constantly channeling her spirit energy to sustain her eight spirit beasts, she was now exhausted, her strength almost depleted.
At this moment, the three legendary spirit beasts’ spirit diagrams were finally taking shape. The Nether Spring Narcissus’s was a single, black teardrop. The Nether Princess Bai Xue’s was a shimmering snowflake.
And the Ice Forged Decapitator’s… it was truly unexpected. A massive, deep blue eye, its surface covered in cracks and fissures, gazing down from the sky.
Judging from its aura alone, the Ice Forged Decapitator’s spirit diagram was by far the most terrifying!
One more week…
A drop of sweat trickled down Gong Lianyue’s forehead. One more week, and all her spirit beasts, including the legendary ones, would have completed their spirit diagrams. She just had to hold on a little longer.
Crack!
Suddenly, the sound of cracking ice echoed, a strange sound that seemed to reach the very ends of the world.
Time froze, breath caught in their throats.
At that moment, countless beings across the spirit world, in thousands of realms, saw a rapidly expanding ring of energy in the sky.
The shockwave, rippling outwards, gradually formed a hollow, wheel-like pattern, a strange, white full moon at its center, its distorted shape like a curled-up, furry rabbit tail.
The Moon Calamity… had awakened…!!!
Chapter 336: October and the Moon Calamity!!
Bang!
A sound like shattering ice, a strange, reverberating boom.
A wave of spirit energy, like an expanding fog, spread outwards, a hollow, wheel-like pattern at its center, resembling a curled-up, furry rabbit tail, a spiral moon.
Instantly, the skies of countless worlds, including the Heavy Rain Realm, were covered by this massive lunar ring.
A terrifying, chaotic aura, a destructive force, a vision of pure spirit energy, a harbinger of disaster.
Undoubtedly, this was a Disaster Ring, the mark of the Six Disasters!!!
At this moment, all eyes turned towards the sky.
A sense of overwhelming dread, like gazing upon a god, a feeling of helplessness and despair.
Even the overlord-level legendary beings couldn’t help but feel insignificant.
Before such absolute power, resistance was futile.
The White Moon Lord, leader of the Six Disasters, the Moon Calamity, was about to awaken from its century-long slumber…
–First Disaster Zone, True Spirit Realm.
A beautiful, jade-green, translucent, elemental female figure floated in the air, radiating a powerful aura.
Biyu Chenling, Tenth Seat of October, leader of the First Disaster Zone.
Its face grim, it gazed at the moon-shaped Disaster Ring reflected in the sky above, the massive, world-encompassing wheel slowly shrinking, then vanishing.
“The Moon Calamity is coming…”
The warning faded, the true disaster about to begin.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Biyu Chenling’s face, its voice trembling slightly.
They were about to face the Moon Calamity, one of the most powerful beings in the spirit world. Even the members of October had no guarantee of victory.
Fortunately, they would only face the Moon Calamity in its weakest state, a challenge they could hopefully withstand.
–Second Disaster Zone, Heavy Rain Realm.
Within the main hall of the Three Lives Gate, a blue-haired, teardrop-eyed woman in a bathrobe sat in meditation, ignoring the fleeting image of the Disaster Ring in the sky.
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, Ninth Seat of October, leader of the Second Disaster Zone.
Almost there, almost there, almost…
Her heart pounding, she focused all her energy, channeling her spirit energy to the Nether Spring Narcissus, assisting it in constructing its spirit diagram.
She had abandoned the Nether Princess Bai Xue and the Ice Forged Decapitator, placing all her hopes on the Nether Spring Narcissus.
After all, she might not be able to win, but she had to be able to escape.
She didn’t know the strength of Biyu Chenling, the leader of the First Disaster Zone. She just hoped it could buy her some time…
–Third Disaster Zone.
Atop a misty, ten-thousand-meter-high mountain peak, a woman in a white robe stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the sky, her body radiating a violent, battle-hungry aura.
Her thick, snow-white hair, more like a lion’s mane than a human’s.
The Great Demon of the White Mansion, Eighth Seat of October, leader of the Third Disaster Zone, disciple of the formidable Nether Peach Martial Concubine.
The realm she guarded was near the edge of the Ten Sacred Domains. If it fell, even the Sacred Domains would be affected.
She had been waiting here for ten years.
–Fourth Disaster Zone, the Blazing Sun Wheel.
A world of fire and brimstone, the air filled with scorching heat and crimson light, powerful fire-attribute beings everywhere.
This realm, a fiery hell of pure fire spirit energy, was the birthplace of the Weaver of the Sun, one of the current Seven Concubines, a place of great significance, though not one of the Ten Sacred Domains.
At this moment, immersed in the boiling lava, a graceful, flame elemental female figure peeked out, its gaze fixed on the massive moon wheel in the sky.
Inferno, the Seventh Seat of October, leader of the Fourth Disaster Zone, master of the Blazing Sun Wheel.
–Fifth Disaster Zone, the Ghost Domain.
A shadowy realm, filled with the aura of death.
A desolate, decaying spirit energy permeated the air, the world filled with unusual-type spirit beasts, devoid of human life.
As everyone knew, unusual-type spirit beasts couldn’t be contracted by human Spirit Masters. This realm was a death trap for humans.
Suddenly, a gust of wind, and the mountains of bones and rivers of blood that littered the landscape began to stir.
Boom!!!
A massive skeletal beast, its form vaguely canine, emerged from the earth, its massive body, hundreds of kilometers long, formed from bone and rotting flesh, covered in sharp, bony spikes, like a walking abattoir, casually crushing a few nearby Saint-rank spirit beasts.
Withered Bones Whisper, ruler of the Ghost Domain.
Sixth Seat of October, leader of the Fifth Disaster Zone.
–Sixth Disaster Zone, the Ancient Sword Ruins.
The Ancient Sword Ruins, less than a tenth of what remained of the once-great Ancient Sword Domain, one of the Ten Sacred Domains.
The Ancient Sword Domain, once a gathering place for the most powerful weapon-type spirit beasts, had been shattered by the World-Ending Azure Sky, Harbinger of the Destruction Calamity, all life within annihilated. It was no longer considered a Sacred Domain.
Now, it was a desolate wasteland, littered with broken blades and shattered swords.
At this moment, amidst the ruins, a delicate woman, her body pierced by countless blades, stood silently, waiting for the Moon Calamity’s arrival.
The Blade and Halberd Sword Concubine, a titled legendary being.
Fifth Seat of October, leader of the Sixth Disaster Zone.
–Seventh Disaster Zone, Hegemony Moon Realm.
Moonlight bathed the land, stars filled the sky.
Beneath the moonlit sky, a beautiful, white-haired, antlered deer woman, her legs bent, stood on a massive, full moon, calmly reading a small piece of parchment.
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, Fourth Seat of October, leader of the Seventh Disaster Zone.
The parchment contained four names:
-
Moon Calamity/White Moon Lord
-
Illusion Sea Concubine
-
Harbinger of Disaster/Ink Princess
-
Ice Antelope Grand Concubine
The Moon Calamity, the White Moon Lord, its primary target, a being it had to defeat to rule the spirit world!
The Illusion Sea Concubine, one of the Seven Concubines, a fellow White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, the one responsible for its loss of the Disaster Ring title, a disgrace that had to be avenged!
The Ink Princess, the Harbinger of Disaster, which had stolen its clan’s title, to be killed without mercy!
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, whose lifestyle and combat style were too similar to its own, and who might even be faster… Kill it!
As the moon-shaped Disaster Ring in the sky shrank and vanished, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer calmly crossed out the Moon Calamity’s name, then began its preparations.
So this… was its death note…
It would kill the White Moon Lord today!
–Eighth Disaster Zone, Northern Entrance to the Ten Sacred Domains
The four entrances to the Ten Sacred Domains, north, south, east, and west, were guarded by the Unbreakable Four Shields, four titled legendary beings.
The Unbreakable Four Shields, a title bestowed upon them by the spirit world, their combined strength far greater than ordinary titled legendary beings.
Unlike the purely destructive Six Disasters, the Four Shields represented defense and protection, a title only held by the spirit world’s most durable spirit beasts.
Their primary purpose wasn’t to protect the Ten Sacred Domains, but to swiftly eliminate any legendary being that dared to trespass, like the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s recent incursion into the Sea Region.
However, unless the transgression was severe, causing significant damage, they rarely intervened.
The Unbreakable Four Shields both protected and imprisoned the Ten Sacred Domains, preventing its powerful inhabitants from venturing out and wreaking havoc on other realms.
The Eastern Unbreakable Shield, the Sea Scale Snow Crocodile, whose scales had never been pierced since its birth.
The Southern Unbreakable Shield, the Mad Crown Sky Whale, which had never lost even a single piece of flesh since its birth.
The Western Unbreakable Shield, the Winter Bone Azure Horn, which had never bled since its birth.
And at the northernmost entrance, guarding the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate…
A beautiful woman in a wide, sea-blue robe, her massive arms hidden within the long sleeves that trailed on the ground, two lobster-like antennae on her head.
Even in human form, she couldn’t hide her massive arms, their size grotesque and disproportionate, hinting at her true form’s colossal size.
The Northern Unbreakable Shield, the Dragon Sleeve Assassin!!!
Third Seat of October, leader of the Eighth Disaster Zone.
Like the other members of the Unbreakable Four Shields, the Dragon Sleeve Assassin had never lost a single hair since its birth!
As long as it stood here, the Moon Calamity wouldn’t be able to touch a single speck of dust within the Ten Sacred Domains!
–Ninth Disaster Zone, Phoenix Abyss
The Phoenix Abyss, a realm far removed from the Ten Sacred Domains, unaffected even by the most devastating battles.
This was the lair of the Myriad Volt Phoenix, Harbinger of the Boom Calamity, also the final destination of the White Moon Lord’s last leap.
At this moment, within a magnificent palace, a beautiful woman with fiery red hair, her voluptuous body barely covered by a few feathers, lounged languidly.
Around her were countless bird-type spirit beasts, their shapes and sizes varied, their plumage a riot of color.
A harem of three hundred million, wives and concubines innumerable.
The Myriad Volt Phoenix was arguably the most successful of the Six Disasters, unlike the World-Ending Azure Sky, which constantly plotted against the Ten Sacred Domains, or the Blood-Red Nightmare, hunted relentlessly by powerful beings from all realms.
Its lair, the Phoenix Abyss, known to both the Ten Sacred Domains and the Unbreakable Four Shields, was rarely challenged.
Because, hundreds of years ago, the Prison Ember Concubine, one of the Seven Concubines, had been defeated by the Myriad Volt Phoenix…
This was the Second Seat of October, the Myriad Volt Phoenix, Harbinger of the Boom Calamity!!!
Bang!
The massive, moon-shaped Disaster Ring, having expanded across the spirit world, contracted, returning to its point of origin.
Deep within the earth, in an ancient, icy mountain range, a curled-up white figure stirred.
Its form resembled both a rabbit and a human, perhaps, as Gong Lianyue would describe it, a bunny girl!
Its snow-white body, pure and flawless, its long hair like soft rabbit fur, cascading to the ground.
Its face, breathtakingly beautiful, its crimson eyes strangely innocent.
The muscles in its long, slender legs, clearly defined, not the grotesque, bulging muscles of the Tyrant Demon Seed, their texture soft and supple, radiating a sweet aroma.
Every inch of its flesh, every drop of its blood, even its spirit energy, was like a delectable feast, without a single flaw.
Its body and soul, tempered and refined to near perfection, even a drop of its saliva, a speck of its eye crust, a treasure beyond compare.
Two soft, fluffy rabbit ears twitched amidst its long white hair. A closer look revealed a strange detail: the tips of its ears were split, like tiny, clenched fists.
Having awakened from its long slumber, the first thing the white rabbit woman did was blink.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Instantly, the force of that single blink shattered the surrounding ice, the world around it collapsing, sinking into a bottomless abyss.
A violent storm erupted, the shockwave rippling outwards, countless lives annihilated, reduced to dust, the very landscape flattened.
A few seconds later, as the dust settled, the icy world was a desolate ruin.
A small realm, annihilated in an instant. The white rabbit woman emerged from the debris, its every step causing the earth to tremble, the spirit energy in the air distorting and collapsing.
And then, something strange happened…
Judging by the movement of the dust and debris, the flow of time in this world seemed normal.
However, although the rabbit woman’s movements appeared slow, it was moving faster than the flow of spirit energy, even surpassing its own aura.
Its spirit energy flowed according to the laws of the spirit world, but its physical body was moving independently of it!
This was like… its life existing on a different timescale…
Its existence defied the very laws of the spirit world.
The Moon Calamity, leader of the Six Disasters.
The White Moon Lord, one of the Seven Concubines.
At this moment, the Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit awakened from its long slumber.
And its cultivation level was merely at the Illumination Stage…
