Chapter 398: The Three Kings of the Moon Protection Court
[We, the Three Celestial Seats, servants of the Winter Bone Azure Horn of the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, have come to punish the Sorrowful Saintess and the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, to destroy the Sea Region, and to reclaim the life cores of our two titled legendary beings!!!]
Within the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, the auras of the black and white elemental figure and the Half-Moon Decapitator clashed, a terrifying hurricane sweeping through the trial area, sending the other participants flying.
After the Empty Spirit Saintess’s probe and subsequent retreat, the true terror had descended upon the Sea Region.
The Three Celestial Seats, the Winter Bone Azure Horn’s three lord-level legendary spirit beasts, their power and reputation formidable, all contenders for titles, even capable of joining the Six Disasters’ extermination squad, were the greatest threat the Sea Region had ever faced.
The arrival of even one of them was terrifying. And there were likely more reinforcements on the way.
Hai Jingtian, a legendary spirit beast, one of the Three Celestial Seats!
Boom——!!!!
A violent explosion of spirit energy, and Gong Lianyue, watching the broadcast from within the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, saw the Half-Moon Decapitator being pushed back, clearly outmatched.
The jade-green crescent blade, unable to withstand Hai Jingtian’s power, retreated, almost falling off the 31st level of the staircase.
This wasn’t good. The Half-Moon Decapitator was losing…
If the Half-Moon Decapitator’s aura was extinguished, all the trial participants, including the legendary beings and Lord Attendants, would be annihilated by Hai Jingtian’s power.
The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate hadn’t intentionally entered the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace. They had simply followed the trail left by the Empty Spirit Saintess.
Realizing this, Gong Lianyue, a frustrated expression on her face, looked at the spectators, still gawking and chattering excitedly.
“A battle between legendary beings! Everyone, evacuate the Sea Concubine Palace immediately! You may stay and watch, but your safety is not guaranteed!”
“Those who can, head towards the Wind Realm and the Heavy Rain Realm’s spirit gates. This might affect the entire Sea Region.”
“…”
“…”
As the Sorrowful Saintess’s words echoed, ninety percent of the Spirit Masters and spirit beasts began to flee, only the Sea Concubine Palace members and a few confident Sun and Moon Realm experts remaining.
Many of the Sea Concubine Palace members, their expressions uncertain, hesitated, still watching.
They had heard the Empty Spirit Saintess’s claim that the Sorrowful Saintess was now a mortal, yet she still radiated a powerful, holy aura, an air of invincibility.
The Sea Concubine Palace higher-ups didn’t move, their gazes fixed on the scene.
The safest place in the entire Sea Region was beside the Sorrowful Saintess. If she fell, there was nowhere to hide.
At this moment, at the entrance to the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, the Umbrella Immortal and Hong Xiaoqianyu approached the blue-haired girl. Gong Lianyue, however, shook her head.
“Don’t interfere in a battle between lord-level legendary beings. Stay here and protect me.”
Then, with a slight hesitation, Gong Lianyue pulled a blood-red core from her cleavage.
Instantly, a manic aura filled the air, a massive blood moon appearing in the sky above the Sea Region.
Swish—
The blood moon solidified, its crimson light revealing a graceful, female figure, a torrent of blood swirling around its body.
A beautiful woman with long, red hair, her slender neck swaying like a giraffe’s, a series of ear-splitting shrieks echoing from her lips.
The Laughing Red Moon, Third King of the Moon Protection Court!
Gong Lianyue had used the Laughing Red Moon and the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace’s cores to force the Half-Moon Decapitator to fight for her, but she was now releasing them, granting them their freedom.
Facing this terrifying, blood-red figure, the entire Sea Concubine Palace trembled in fear, even the ancestor of the water lineage, the strongest in the Sea Region, couldn’t help but wince.
What kind of monster had the Sorrowful Saintess unleashed?
“Laughing Red Moon, you are free now. But your sisters are facing a powerful enemy, and its target… is me.”
“I’ve returned your cores. If you join forces, you should be able to defeat it easily.”
“Of course, you can also choose to flee, or perhaps negotiate and have it come to me. But I would prefer it if you didn’t harm the trial participants. Although I might die here today, my spirit beasts will not.”
Hearing the blue-haired girl’s calm words, the Laughing Red Moon, its long, grotesque neck twisting, its beautiful face now inches from Gong Lianyue’s, its crimson eyes staring intently, paused.
Being defeated by the Sorrowful Saintess and missing the Moon Calamity’s arrival was the Laughing Red Moon’s greatest regret. Even a senseless rampage here would be… understandable.
And the Sorrowful Saintess was now a mere mortal. A single bite could tear her to shreds.
However, such an act would unleash the terrifying beings hidden within her, and the Three Kings of the Moon Protection Court would be annihilated, their very ashes scattered.
Gong Lianyue was certain the Laughing Red Moon wouldn’t risk it.
However, as their eyes met, the red-haired woman with the long neck laughed, a strange, almost pitying sound.
“Sorrowful Saintess, you truly understand nothing!!!”
“…”
“…”
“The moon the Moon Protection Court seeks… is you.”
With those words, the Laughing Red Moon turned and entered the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, its crimson aura fading.
Boom!!!
Inside the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, the sudden burst of blood-red moonlight startled Shui Jingtian, one of the Three Celestial Seats, forcing it to retreat.
Then, accompanied by a sharp, chilling laughter, a red, humanoid figure emerged from the darkness.
Another unfamiliar legendary being…?
All moonlight-attribute… Could they be the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s subordinates?
The Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, the Half-Moon Decapitator, and the Laughing Red Moon.
At this moment, the Three Kings of the Moon Protection Court were reunited!!!
Meanwhile, the Laughing Red Moon’s words echoing in her ears, Gong Lianyue’s forced indifference melted away, her expression softening, her teardrop eyes shimmering.
At some point, without even realizing it…
The loyalty of a spirit beast wasn’t simply about power, but about… something more… an almost divine charisma.
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, was no longer alone.
And one day, this Sea Region… would become one of the Ten Sacred Domains…
