The Saintess Has A Showdown 435

Chapter 435: Scorpion’s Super Evolution!!!

A few minutes into the battle, the entire First Ring of the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring was a desolate wasteland.

The chaotic, over-the-top battle was a spectacle, but Gong Lianyue, distracted, didn’t notice the Jade Concubine’s strange behavior.

The black-haired woman, her beautiful face a mask of innocence, was discreetly watching the Nether Spring Narcissus. Whenever their gazes met, she would quickly lower her head, her long, black hair hiding her blush.

Unnoticed, in a distant viewing area, the Ten Prison Flowers and the Six-Tailed Phoenixes had gathered, even the Peach Blossom Concubine, her appearance slightly disheveled, was watching intently.

Even the Peach Blossom Concubine couldn’t casually stroll through this chaotic battlefield, still reeling from the Frozen Calamity’s earlier attack.

And at the center of the First Ring, the battle between Yu Jinfei and the Martial Concubine reached its climax.

The Martial Concubine was now enveloped in a flowing black membrane, like a black pudding wrapped in plastic wrap.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!! (Ad nauseam)

The black, gelatinous figure and the crimson-armored scorpion woman exchanged blows, a flurry of fists, the earth and the very spirit energy of the space itself cracking and shattering under the force of their attacks, the ground shifting, the sky collapsing.

A scene of apocalyptic destruction, the two Lost Realm beings’ auras growing increasingly violent, their relentless assault distorting and shattering everything around them.

Any lesser being caught in the crossfire would be instantly vaporized. Even the Seven Killing Blades, lurking nearby, hoping for an opportunity to intervene, abandoned the idea.

Although Yu Jinfei was weakened, it was still one of the Seven Concubines, a being of immense power.

The Martial Concubine, initially evenly matched, was quickly overwhelmed, its face bruised and swollen, tears streaming down its face, its body repeatedly pounded into the ground.

However, just as victory seemed within Yu Jinfei’s grasp, it suddenly stopped its attack, its massive pincers falling limply to its sides, its crimson armor dissipating, its aura almost completely gone.

Its pale face, like that of a corpse, blood trickling from its lips, its body swaying weakly, clearly unable to continue.

Seeing this, the Martial Concubine’s face twisted in shock, a terrifying realization dawning.

“Yu Jinfei, where… where’s your core…?”

“Don’t tell me… the Boom Calamity destroyed it…!!!”

Hearing the Martial Concubine’s shocked cry, the legendary beings watching from the sidelines froze, then stared in disbelief, a wave of murmurs spreading through the crowd.

A spirit beast’s core was like a human’s heart, the source of its life force and its ability to absorb spirit energy. Losing it meant instant death.

Although legendary beings could project their cores outwards, their destruction was fatal.

They had known Yu Jinfei was injured, but they hadn’t expected it to be this severe.

And yet, Yu Jinfei, the Crimson Hellscale, its core gone, was still fighting the Martial Concubine, clinging to life by a thread.

[Such a victory… it’s meaningless…]

After a long silence, the Martial Concubine’s face, twisted in a grimace of anger and frustration, turned away.

It was like spending hours fighting a corpse, its excitement and bloodlust now replaced by a deep sense of shame.

Tears streamed down its face.

This was utterly humiliating. Even if Yu Jinfei was defeated, it should have been due to old age, not… this.

And it was still losing. It could never truly defeat Yu Jinfei.

In the eyes of a spirit beast, Yu Jinfei, its core gone, was no longer truly alive, just a wisp of smoke about to be scattered by the wind.

As the weeping Martial Concubine retreated, Yu Jinfei, standing alone in the massive crater, its aura faint, its form almost translucent, like a ghost.

Yu Jinfei had always been insecure, its power as a support-type spirit beast considered weak.

It had poured all its energy, all its skill, into enhancing its physical body, creating this invincible form, earning its place among the Seven Concubines. And today, it had reached its limit, its life nearing its end, but it had no regrets.

[After my death, a seat among the Seven Concubines will be vacant, and a great upheaval will sweep across the spirit world.]

[A new era of chaos. Witness for me… who will claim the throne…!!!]

With a final, gentle message echoing throughout the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, Yu Jinfei, its crimson, vertical pupils scanning the legendary beings watching from the sidelines, its body swaying weakly, collapsed.

Swish—

Suddenly, the ground beneath it cracked.

A massive, black serpent, covered in armor, burst forth, its jaws open, a terrifying shriek, charging towards the falling Yu Jinfei.

Yin Kui’s face was a mask of rage. Even in death, Yu Jinfei’s flesh, its blood, its bones, were priceless treasures, capable of greatly enhancing a spirit beast’s power.

“Lady Yu Jinfei, one last contribution to the Dust Refining Giant Remains!”

With a sinister laugh, Yin Kui lunged, its massive body like a surging wave, its jaws closing around the falling crimson figure.

So close, no time to react.

Only the Peach Blossom Concubine could intervene, but it simply watched, a sorrowful expression on its face, as if mourning the passing of a fellow monarch.

This was Yu Jinfei’s choice, its destiny. As one of the Seven Concubines, the Peach Blossom Concubine could only bear witness, not interfere.

Swish—

However, Yin Kui’s jaws snapped shut on empty air, almost biting its own tongue.

A crimson blur, and Yu Jinfei’s dying body was snatched away, carried to the relative safety of the floral cradle’s edge.

Who?

All eyes turned, and a red-haired scorpion woman, its fiery hair like a burning inferno, its aura powerful and domineering, holding Yu Jinfei gently in its arms, was revealed.

At the same time, Gong Lianyue, watching from afar, her teardrop eyes narrowing, sensed a familiar energy emanating from this legendary scorpion woman, a resonance with her own soul core. Was this… the scorpion…?

The scorpion…

It had evolved!!!
