Chapter 406: The Sorrowful Saintess’s Final Moments
Whoosh~~~~~~~
Standing in the center of the Sea Concubine Palace’s trial area, the Tyrant Demon Seed exhaled slowly, a long, drawn-out breath.
Its hunched posture, its massive, arched spine, a grotesque and twisted form, its true appearance obscured by the swirling spirit energy.
With a single burst of aura, it had scattered the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s forces, sending them fleeing in all directions. Now, weakened, the rabbit woman turned its attention to the Three Celestial Seats, who had just emerged from the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace, a ferocious glint in its eyes.
“The Moon Calamity? No…”
The black swan, its wings snapping closed defensively before it, its eyes narrowing, hesitated.
Although the creature’s aura was similar to the Moon Calamity’s, the telltale Disaster Ring was missing.
There was only one Moon Calamity, one White Moon Lord!
This rabbit before them… it must be some kind of mutated hybrid, its bloodline infused with the Moon Calamity’s blood.
The Moon Calamity’s blood, too powerful, too corrupting, had likely overwritten its original bloodline, its power now somewhere between Saint-rank and legendary, its aura even capable of intimidating ordinary legendary beings.
Unfortunately, it wouldn’t work on her.
Boom!!!
A terrifying shadow erupted behind the black swan, massive black wings, like an eclipse, spreading across the sky above the Sea Region.
Ye Tianyu, one of the Three Celestial Seats, a Setting Sun Stage legendary being, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s second strongest after the Winter Bone Azure Horn, its power on a completely different level from ordinary lord-level legendary beings.
At the same time, the Tyrant Demon Seed stomped its foot, a wave of oppressive aura, like a fan-shaped blade, erupting from its mouth.
Hum—
Black and white auras clashed, a violent explosion that shattered the Sea Concubine Palace buildings, reducing them to dust.
The earth shook, the sky tore, spirit energy swirling chaotically.
Buildings crumbled, weaker life forms perished, a monstrous tsunami, a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
Even Gong Lianyue was swept away by the powerful shockwave, tumbling for dozens of kilometers, almost reaching the clouds.
“Black Moon Dead Tower Palace!!!”
Whoosh—
As the Sorrowful Saintess’s voice echoed, a dark space erupted from below, engulfing the Sea Region for hundreds of miles, pulling everything within into its depths.
In an instant, the human settlements near the Sea Concubine Palace vanished, leaving only a vast expanse of clear, blue ocean, and the churning waves of the receding tsunami.
Although the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace had protected the Sea Concubine Palace, the situation remained dire.
Gong Lianyue, her blue hair flowing like water, her transparent bathrobe billowing around her, fell from the sky, her narrowed eyes scanning the battlefield.
The Laughing Red Moon and the Umbrella Immortal were facing Shui Jingtian, while the Half-Moon Decapitator and Hong Xiaoqianyu struggled against Tianhe Nu’s watery onslaught, their defeat seemingly inevitable.
And amidst the ruins of the Sea Concubine Palace, the battle between Ye Tianyu and the Tyrant Demon Seed had also reached its conclusion…
“Pwah!”
The black swan coughed up a mouthful of blood, its face pale, while the white rabbit woman’s body disintegrated, a few bone fragments and a puff of dust all that remained.
Although the Tyrant Demon Seed had fought bravely, pushing its limits, it was still no match for a true legendary being, the difference in their cultivation levels too vast.
Ye Tianyu wiped the blood from its beak, its expression grim. It was fortunate it had been the one to face this rabbit.
If it had been Tianhe Nu or Shui Jingtian, they would have been severely injured…
The Tyrant Demon Seed hadn’t been killed by Ye Tianyu, but by its own power, its body unable to withstand the strain, its spirit energy reserves completely depleted.
And finally, with the Tyrant Demon Seed gone, the Sorrowful Saintess faced her final moments.
Ye Tianyu, among the ruins, raised its head, its dark eyes cold and indifferent, a chilling aura washing over Gong Lianyue, her body stiffening, her senses numb.
At the same time, a powerful, destructive aura descended from the sky above.
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, previously sent flying to the Endless Swamp, had returned in mere seconds, its speed defying logic.
The antlered woman, its icy body like a falling meteor, its descent far more graceful and controlled than the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s, plummeted towards the Sea Region.
Ye Tianyu above, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine below, the Sorrowful Saintess had no escape.
“…”
“…”
Swish—
Almost simultaneously, the killing intent of Ye Tianyu and the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine locked onto Gong Lianyue, their rapidly approaching forms a blur.
The blue-haired woman closed her eyes, her expression serene, as if accepting her fate, offering no resistance.
However, just as their attacks were about to land, Ye Tianyu’s eyes widened, its charge halting abruptly.
“Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, wait!!”
A blue-haired girl with two teardrops on her face, her appearance similar to the Sorrowful Saintess’s, suddenly appeared, blocking its path.
It was… Gong Xingyu, the Ice Eye Saintess!!!
The symbol and representative of the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate’s Gong family… she had betrayed them!!!
Gong Xingyu turned, her gaze soft and gentle as she looked at the stunned, blue-haired girl, then a wall of ice rose between them.
The Netherwinter Splitting Tail, former Eastern Unbreakable Four Shield, its massive body expanding, shielded the Sorrowful Saintess, its icy armor shimmering, impenetrable.
However, ignoring Ye Tianyu’s cry, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine swung its ice-blue halberd, the Emerald Blossom Tribulation, a crescent moon slash aimed at both the Ice Eye Saintess and the Sorrowful Saintess.
Crack—
A shower of ice shards, the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s body shattering, instantly annihilated, and Gong Xingyu, the Ice Eye Saintess, coughed up a mouthful of blood, her beautiful face pale and lifeless.
However, at that moment, the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine’s expression turned to confusion, and Ye Tianyu, its face a mask of shock and concern, also froze. What was going on?
In that brief instant, the Sorrowful Saintess, who should have been behind the Netherwinter Splitting Tail, had vanished.
Only a swirling cluster of heart-shaped bubbles remained.
