Chapter 434: The Final Battle
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The earth trembled, the sky cracked, as Yu Jinfei’s pincer slammed down, a terrifying shockwave.
The First Ring of the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring was devastated, the Nether Peach, the Martial Concubine, sent flying for thousands of kilometers, a massive, gaping chasm appearing in the earth.
The martial arts master, its black peach gauntlets shattered, lay battered and bruised amidst the ruins, blood trickling from its lips.
Shui Yuefei and the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake watched from a safe distance, Gong Lianyue’s spirit beasts, having emerged from her soul core, also observing the spectacle.
Incidentally, the Jade Concubine, standing so close, almost looked like it belonged to Gong Lianyue’s side.
A battle between legendary beings of the Lost Realm… a rare and awe-inspiring sight.
Yu Jinfei, even without using its legendary talent, was so powerful… no wonder it was one of the Seven Concubines!
Even the Martial Concubine, a fellow legendary being, seemed utterly outmatched.
Indeed, before the battle had even begun, the Martial Concubine’s spirit energy had been almost completely depleted, its massive, black and white, magatama-shaped eyes staring in disbelief.
It had been so close to victory, and yet…
The Jade Concubine’s halberd, the Emerald Blossom Tribulation, flashed, impaling the Martial Concubine like a skewer, then, with a flick of the wrist, flung it across the battlefield, its body crashing through countless floral structures, back towards Yu Jinfei.
The world blurred, and just as it was about to collide with the giant scorpion’s pincer, the Martial Concubine, its breath catching in its throat, unleashed a barrage of punches from its impaled position, its body a twisted blur.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!
A flurry of blows, each as powerful as Yu Jinfei’s pincer strike, the black, fist-shaped shockwaves filling the sky above the First Ring, raining down upon Yu Jinfei, its hard, crimson shell trembling, the ground beneath it collapsing.
Although Yu Jinfei’s aura far surpassed the Martial Concubine’s, its face paled under the relentless barrage, its massive pincer raised once more, looming over the Martial Concubine.
Pure brute force, an overwhelming size, an inescapable attack.
Bang!
The next second, the Martial Concubine vanished in a puff of black mist, reappearing behind Yu Jinfei, its two black peach gauntlets dangling limply, its body seemingly boneless.
And Yu Jinfei’s massive pincer, mangled and torn, blood spraying from the countless wounds, hung uselessly.
“…”
“…”
“Yu Jinfei… suppressed?”
Shui Yuefei’s teardrop eyes narrowed, a flicker of disbelief.
The two Lost Realm beings’ movements had been too fast, a blur even to her enhanced vision.
Although she herself was at the Waning Moon Stage, she had only glimpsed the final exchange, but Yu Jinfei was clearly injured.
Perhaps still weakened from its battle with Wanfu Caifeng, the Boom Calamity. It seemed to be fighting at less than a tenth of its full strength.
After a moment of silence, Yu Jinfei’s massive form began to shrink, like a deflating balloon, dissolving into a crimson mist, then reforming into a beautiful, red-haired woman in a gauzy skirt, her face pale and vulnerable, a stark contrast to its terrifying true form.
[Yu Jinfei… unable to even maintain its true form? How… pathetic~~~]
Hearing the Martial Concubine’s mocking tone, the red-haired woman didn’t react, but a crimson aura began to emanate from her body, her flesh hardening, her muscles tensing.
A shimmering, crimson armor, like a second skin, enveloped her, her aura terrifying.
The massive scorpion pincers that formed on her arms, like heavy bowling balls, dangling by her sides, mirrored the Martial Concubine’s black gauntlets.
[Such a powerful support battle technique, wasted on yourself. What a shame.]
Bang—
The Martial Concubine’s body shattered, struck by Yu Jinfei’s armored fist, a scorpion pincer, sent flying, tumbling across the First Ring, its body a bloody mess, the surrounding structures collapsing under the force of the impact.
However, before it could even land, the crimson figure reappeared behind it, as if preparing to kick a ball.
Yu Jinfei, clad in its crimson scorpion armor, struck the Martial Concubine again, sending it crashing to the ground, a hundred-mile-wide crater appearing, a cloud of crimson mist, an explosion like a thousand nukes detonating simultaneously.
Bang, bang, bang—
Gong Lianyue could only see flashes of crimson light, a blur of motion, the world around them shattering.
However, the Jade Concubine and her spirit beasts seemed to be following the battle intently…
This was a battle between Lost Realm beings, their power beyond human comprehension.
Suddenly, the Jade Concubine’s eyes widened in horror.
This was bad… !
Bang!
The Martial Concubine, sent flying again, was heading straight for them.
And behind it, the crimson figure, like a fiery meteor, was also approaching, its terrifying aura threatening to crush them all.
Hum—
At the last moment, a black droplet of water materialized, enveloping them in a protective barrier.
The Martial Concubine and Yu Jinfei, their attacks passing harmlessly through the barrier, as if they existed on different planes, the surrounding area devastated, the black droplet within, however, undisturbed.
[Spirit Diagram – Silent Descent]
The black-crowned Water Element, its watery hands cupped together, maintained the black droplet barrier, seemingly unfazed by Yu Jinfei’s destructive power.
It… it had protected them…?
The Jade Concubine, staring at the Nether Spring Narcissus, its beautiful face flushed, felt a strange warmth in its heart.
