The Saintess Has A Showdown 339-340

Chapter 339: A Great Crisis in the Heavy Rain Realm!!

–Heavy Rain Realm

The Mist-Born Sea Emperor, the Ice Yin Sword Princess, the Yin Robe Saintess, and the Ice Condensing Saintess, four legendary beings, gathered atop a towering pavilion.

This was the highest point of the Star River Bathing Rain Sect’s main palace, taller even than the surrounding mountains, surrounded by a swirling mist.

They had been waiting here, anticipating the arrival of the Moon Calamity.

After years of diligent cultivation, the two talented Saintesses had both reached the True Soul Stage of the Nether Traverse Realm, their progress far exceeding that of Gong Lianyue, hindered by her Dual Soul Body.

Although they weren’t certain they could completely stop it, they could at least mitigate the damage to the Heavy Rain Realm.

It was said that the Moon Calamity wouldn’t actively attack, simply choosing a landing point. There was no need for a confrontation, no need to defeat it.

It was a shame the Umbrella Immortal had been sealed by the Sorrowful Saintess. It would have been a valuable asset.

“Sword Princess, can we really stop the Moon Calamity?” the Ice Condensing Saintess asked nervously, standing behind the Ice Yin Sword Princess.

During her earlier confrontation with the Laughing Red Moon, fear had disrupted her connection with the Frozen Throne, preventing her from accessing its full power.

After months of training, she had finally overcome her fear of lord-level legendary beings, mastering the Frozen Throne’s true power.

She had to stop the Moon Calamity here, to redeem herself, to erase the shame of her previous powerlessness.

This was her chance to prove herself!

“We can only hope…”

The Ice Yin Sword Princess, a beautiful woman in an icy robe, her face creased with worry since the appearance of the Disaster Ring, the chilling sword energy around her reaching its peak, sighed.

She had only heard stories about the Moon Calamity, never encountered it.

Those tales of shattering three thousand realms with a single leap… just exaggerated rumors.

However, the appearance of that rabbit tail-shaped, full moon Disaster Ring had filled her with unease.

Could the four of them truly stop the Moon Calamity?

The Mist-Born Sea Emperor and the Yin Robe Saintess listened silently.

Based on their calculations, the Moon Calamity should be nearing the True Spirit Realm. Could the legendary beings there stop it?

The True Spirit Realm was far from the Heavy Rain Realm, their communication limited. They didn’t know that the True Spirit Realm’s legendary beings had all fled.

Suddenly—

Crack!

A sharp, snapping sound, and four heads, their eyes wide with shock, flew into the air.

Blood sprayed everywhere. They hadn’t even had time to react, their bodies paralyzed.

“…”
“…”

A few seconds later, the four heads landed neatly on the ground. As their disbelieving gazes turned upwards, a large, jade-green, crescent-shaped blade floated in the air.

The massive blade, its curved edge twisted and jagged, radiated a terrifying aura.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Just wait quietly for Lord Moon Calamity’s arrival.”

Hearing the blade’s cold, arrogant voice, the four women’s eyes widened in horror.

This creature… calling the Moon Calamity “Lord…” it must be an ally of the Laughing Red Moon.

Undoubtedly, it was…

The Half-Moon Decapitator, Second King of the Moon Protection Court, a lord-level legendary being!

After reaching the Nether Traverse Stage, even decapitation wasn’t fatal for a Spirit Master, but their current state, their bodies paralyzed, their heads severed, filled them with despair.

Regenerating a physical body was easy for a legendary being. The real problem was the terrifying aura radiating from the Half-Moon Decapitator, threatening to tear them apart, an overwhelming pressure they couldn’t resist.

“Aaaaaaah, Lord White Moon Lord, please use me! I can’t wait any longer!!!

The Half-Moon Decapitator, its blade twisting and writhing, a disturbingly eager display.

The Third King of the Moon Protection Court, the Laughing Red Moon, had been defeated and captured by the Sorrowful Saintess.

And now, with the Moon Calamity’s arrival imminent, the Second King, the Half-Moon Decapitator, had descended upon the Heavy Rain Realm!

This meant the First King, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, must also be here…

The Heavy Rain Realm… facing a grave crisis!

Heavy Rain Realm, Three Lives Gate

At the same time as the Half-Moon Decapitator’s attack, a massive, black pavilion descended upon the Three Lives Gate.

A dark, oppressive space, devoid of light, even spirit energy couldn’t escape, a tomb with no exit.

The Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, First King of the Moon Protection Court!

Although classified as biological, it wasn’t a typical animal form, but a massive, labyrinthine structure formed from bones.

At this moment, not only the Three Lives Gate members, but even Gong Lianyue, in seclusion, was trapped within.

[Sorrowful Saintess, I know I’m no match for you, but trapping you until the Moon Calamity’s arrival is easy. Give up.]

Hearing the arrogant voice echoing in the darkness, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed woman in the revealing bathrobe remained motionless, seemingly unaffected.

Classic playing dead tactic. The Black Moon Dead Tower Palace wasn’t fooled. In a few minutes, it would all be over.

The journey from the True Spirit Realm to the Heavy Rain Realm, spanning thousands of realms, would normally take several days for a legendary being, but for the Moon Calamity, it was a mere seven or eight minutes.

Five minutes passed in silence, and a flicker of doubt appeared in the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s consciousness.

Why was the Sorrowful Saintess still cultivating…?

As the Ninth Seat of October, wasn’t she concerned about the Moon Calamity?

It was like a fleeing thief stopping when told to stop, or a villain abandoning their murder mid-act.

Did she really think she could escape this place within a minute, before the Moon Calamity arrived?

A chill ran down its spine, and it reinforced its defenses, its bony structure hardening, the space within becoming an impenetrable labyrinth.

The Moon Calamity’s arrival was imminent.

Just then, Gong Lianyue opened her eyes, her ice-blue, teardrop pupils, framed by shimmering snowflakes, gazing out at the world, her body radiating a chilling aura, her long, flowing, water-blue hair swaying gently.

“Your spirit energy… it’s surprisingly dense, hundreds of times greater than the Heavy Rain Realm’s average…”

“Thanks to you, I’ve finally made it.”

As the woman’s cold, indifferent voice echoed, a black teardrop materialized behind her. The Nether Spring Narcissus’s spirit diagram was complete.

At that moment, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s heart sank.

Chapter 340: The Sorrowful Saintess Emerges from Seclusion!!!

“Thanks to you, I’ve finally made it.”

As the Sorrowful Saintess’s cold, indifferent words echoed, a chill ran down the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s spine.

It could clearly sense the terrifying aura of that black teardrop. The Sorrowful Saintess had used the spirit energy within its body to construct a spirit diagram!

If it hadn’t interfered, she wouldn’t have been ready in time for the Moon Calamity’s arrival. And those five minutes had allowed the Sorrowful Saintess’s power to surge once more.

But how would she escape?

Would she try to overpower it, or find some other way out…?

The next second, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace had its answer.

A chilling aura spread, and a Snow Woman in a white mourning dress, a wedding gown, materialized behind the Sorrowful Saintess.

Her bare feet, pale and delicate, her movements as she floated across the ground strangely ethereal, like a ghost.

The Nether Princess Bai Xue, a legendary-rank spirit beast!

[So, she plans to use this Snow Monarch clone to stall me while she escapes with her other spirit beasts?]

[How naive, Sorrowful Saintess. As you said yourself, my endless labyrinth, constructed from the spirit energy within my body, is impenetrable!!]

“Stall you?”

Gong Lianyue tilted her head slightly, a puzzled expression on her otherwise emotionless face.

Although the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s assumption was wrong, the Moon Calamity’s arrival was imminent. There was no time to waste.

The Nether Princess Bai Xue, her face hidden behind her bridal veil, glanced at Gong Lianyue, then nodded slowly.

A swirling blizzard, a chilling aura, snowflakes filling the air.

–Heavy Rain Realm, Three Lives Gate.

Trapped within the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, the Endless Saintess stumbled through the darkness, like a fly trapped in a bottle.

Blood streamed from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, every pore on her body, yet she continued her desperate search, her movements jerky and uncontrolled, like a zombie.

This had been her state ever since the appearance of the Disaster Ring.

Today, she would die. Consumed by the Moon Calamity’s aura.

She could sense it approaching, like a comet streaking across thousands of realms, heading straight for the Heavy Rain Realm.

“No, I have to get out! Let me out! I have to witness the Moon Calamity’s arrival! I have to see the White Moon Lord’s true form before I die!!!”

Trapped here, unable to escape as the Moon Calamity drew closer, the Endless Saintess was on the verge of madness.

If it were before, the Moon Protection Court would have shared her sentiments, but the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace had no such inclinations.

“Wait, the Sorrowful Saintess! I have to find the Sorrowful Saintess!!!”

The Endless Saintess suddenly remembered and began searching for the Sorrowful Saintess’s aura within the darkness.

Although the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s aura was incredibly dense, almost blocking all other spirit energy, her senses, amplified a millionfold, could still detect the Sorrowful Saintess’s unique presence.

If anyone could break through the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, it was the Sorrowful Saintess!

However, as she neared the source of the aura, the Endless Saintess’s eyes widened in terror, her hair standing on end, and she turned and fled.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The next second, a wave of icy energy erupted within the dark labyrinth.

A chilling mist, instantly freezing everything, even the dense, oppressive darkness, turning the entire structure into a massive ice sculpture.

Snowflakes exploded, ice shards flew.

The Nether Princess Bai Xue, her hands cupped around her mouth like a megaphone, exhaled, unleashing an endless blizzard.

The ever-expanding blizzard, transforming everything in its path into a frozen wasteland.

In an instant, the dark labyrinth was overwhelmed, a massive, glittering ice sculpture.

From the outside, the colossal black pavilion, which had covered the landscape, was now encased in ice, its every nook and cranny frozen solid, a snow-covered tomb.

The cold hand of the Nether Princess Bai Xue had descended upon the Three Lives Gate, freezing all life within.

[Avalanche Kingdom]

As the solidified spirit energy in the air dissipated, the Nether Princess Bai Xue lowered her hands, the chilling aura around her subsiding.

A few seconds later, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s massive, labyrinthine body exploded, shattering into countless icy fragments that scattered in the wind.

And from the center of the explosion, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed girl, clad in her revealing bathrobe, emerged, holding a dark, shadowy core in her hand.

The Nether Princess Bai Xue had defeated the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace in a single blow!!!

“I won’t kill you. I’ll let you witness the Moon Calamity’s arrival, and then we’ll see how you feel about this… insignificant world.”

[That’s impossible! You can’t possibly stop the Moon Calamity!!!]

Hearing the blue-haired girl’s words, the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s core retorted defiantly.

Gong Lianyue ignored it, handing it to the Nether Princess Bai Xue.

Encased in a thick layer of ice, the black core fell silent.

At the same time, countless beings, regardless of their rank or species, including Shui Huangyou and the Silent Water Maiden, were frozen by the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s Avalanche Kingdom.

Those frozen by a passing brush of the Nether Princess’s aura could easily thaw themselves, but this level of freezing… even the Nether Princess herself would need considerable effort to undo it.

With the Moon Calamity imminent, she couldn’t waste her energy on such trivial matters.

She would release them after the Moon Calamity passed…

Meanwhile, the Endless Saintess, frozen solid, watched helplessly as the blue-haired girl walked away.

Although she had fled the moment she sensed the Nether Princess’s aura, she hadn’t expected it to target the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s main body. Her escape had been futile.

She had wanted to witness the Sorrowful Saintess battling the Moon Calamity!!!

At this moment, with the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace destroyed, only the Half-Moon Decapitator remained…

The Moon Calamity’s arrival imminent, the Sorrowful Saintess emerged from seclusion!!!
