Chapter 358: The Target is Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate?!
A drop of the Moon Calamity’s blood, from the Lost Realm!!!
Sensing the spirit energy within the jade bottle, Gong Lianyue’s teardrop eyes narrowed.
The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa had only managed to obtain a single drop of Samsara Stage blood, and now the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer was casually offering a drop of Lost Realm blood!
“You fought the Moon Calamity at the Lost Realm level? And obtained its blood?!”
“No, this was a gift from the Second Seat. It said I did a good job,” the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer shook its head.
“I see…”
Gong Lianyue was shocked. A drop of the Moon Calamity’s Lost Realm blood, given away so casually… The Second Seat must be incredibly wealthy.
Lost Realm blood, the essence of the Moon Calamity at its peak, was an unimaginable treasure, a divine elixir even for titled legendary beings.
“This is just a down payment. If you agree, I can offer two more drops of Sun and Moon Realm blood and five drops of Nether Traverse Realm blood.”
“I’ve done my research. The Tyrant Demon Seed absorbs the Moon Calamity’s blood ten times more efficiently than other moonlight-attribute spirit beasts, and moonlight-attribute spirit beasts absorb spirit energy thirty times more efficiently than other types.”
“If it absorbs this drop of Lost Realm blood, no other Saint-rank spirit beast will be a match for it.”
As a descendant of the Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, such an affinity for the Moon Calamity’s blood wasn’t surprising.
Tempted by the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s offer, Gong Lianyue reached for the jade bottle.
However, she hesitated at the last moment.
No matter how much blood it absorbed, a Saint-rank spirit beast couldn’t evolve into a legendary being, unless it was a special case like the Frost Snow Woman and the Snow Monarch, their connection seemingly… predetermined. And this… country bumpkin rabbit from the Wind Realm clearly wasn’t a special case.
And even if the Tyrant Demon Seed became invincible among Saint-ranks, she herself would have to face a titled legendary being for this single drop of blood…
Just as Gong Lianyue was about to refuse, the white-haired deer held up three fingers.
“Three times. I will protect you and the Sea Region from three life-or-death crises. Whether it’s the Seven Concubines or the Six Disasters, even if you die, I will honor this promise.”
Legendary beings, especially titled legendary beings, valued their promises even more than their lives.
Like Gong Lianyue’s agreement with the Three Lives Gate. She had promised 150 years of service, and she was still sending resources their way.
Seeing the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s serious expression, Gong Lianyue was finally tempted.
“So, do you have a target in mind for this title challenge? How can I help you?”
“…”
“…”
“You misunderstand. It’s not you helping me. As I said before, we’ll do this together.”
“Or rather, we have to do this together!!”
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s voice was filled with excitement, its face flushed, even its antlers tinged with pink.
At this moment, its thoughts, its intentions, flowed into Gong Lianyue’s mind through their shared connection.
The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, one of the Ten Sacred Domains!!!
The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, the apex of the water lineage in the spirit world, its four main subsidiary forces being the Blood Sea Dragon Palace, the Startling Rain White Tower, the Broken Waterfall Pavilion, and the Heavenly Stream Citadel, with hundreds of other smaller, water-related realms under its control, commanding eighty legendary beings.
Even Gong Lianyue, usually so calm and collected, was taken aback.
The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s target… was one of the Ten Sacred Domains, and it was her birthplace, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate!!!
Surely it knew she was from the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate…
…
…
The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s strongest protector was the Winter Bone Azure Horn of the Western Unbreakable Four Shields. That monster had recently repelled an attack from the World-Ending Azure Sky, but it was currently severely injured and dormant. This was why the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer had chosen the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate as its target.
If the Winter Bone Azure Horn were awake, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer wouldn’t dare approach. After all, that was the World-Ending Azure Sky, which had shattered the Ancient Sword Sacred Domain with a single strike, now repelled by the Winter Bone Azure Horn!!!
But without the Winter Bone Azure Horn, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate was vulnerable!
Besides the Winter Bone Azure Horn, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s strongest forces were two ancient, titled legendary beings.
The titled legendary Huan Chanfei, and her spirit beast, the Floating Fate Leaf.
The titled legendary Biyufei, and her spirit beast, the Giant Crimson Jade Conch.
Just hearing their names, Gong Lianyue felt a wave of oppressive pressure, a chilling dread, from a distant realm.
Such power… They were clearly at the peak of the Sun and Moon Realm. How could she possibly defeat them?
At the same time, she finally understood the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s plan. Unless they attacked simultaneously, they wouldn’t stand a chance against two titled legendary beings in their home territory.
That was why it had sought her out, to create a 2v2 situation.
Defeat two titled legendary beings, claim two titles…
It sounded appealing, but was it even possible?
“Wait, I’ve just barely reached the Nether Traverse Stage. How can I possibly defeat a Setting Sun Stage, titled legendary being?”
“Well, I have a plan~~~”
Hearing the blue-haired girl’s question, the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer blinked, a sly look in its eyes.
Uh… did it even have a plan…?
Gong Lianyue felt a wave of resignation, already anticipating the countless difficulties that awaited them in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate.
Putting aside whether they could even defeat the titled legendary beings, the restrictions on title challenges were already daunting.
The challenger had to be of a lower rank than their target, and the number of allowed allies increased with the difference in rank. If they were of the same rank, no outside help was allowed.
And it wasn’t enough to simply defeat them. They had to completely shatter their soul cores, a declaration of war against the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, risking the wrath of the Winter Bone Azure Horn.
And even if they did defeat the titled legendary beings, it didn’t guarantee they would receive their titles. Schemes and tricks would lower their chances. Only a direct, decisive victory would count…
The outcome wasn’t determined by simple victory or defeat, but by some… higher power… within the spirit world.
“Saintess, a Spirit Master from the Wind Realm requests an audience!!!”
A voice from outside interrupted their discussion.
