Chapter 485: The Newest of the Ten Sacred Waters!!!
At this moment, the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s transformed state was identical to the Snow Monarch’s Wedding Ring Awakening form.
From a maiden to a matron, her body matured, made plump and fertile by childbirth. This was the essence of the Wedding Ring Awakening.
The Cold Deer King, the former Harbinger of Disaster, an invincible being whose actions had plunged countless realms into a moonless night, had also been defeated by the Snow Monarch in this form.
However, it was a well-known secret in the spirit world that the Snow Monarch, perhaps out of respect for its opponent’s power, hadn’t killed the Cold Deer King.
Otherwise, how could the Illusion Sea Concubine have been born in the Nether Snow Sacred Domain ten thousand years later…?
Regardless of the truth, since that battle, no one had dared to challenge the Nether Snow Sacred Domain.
Whoosh~~~
Ten icy, slender, white threads, swirling and dancing, the Nether Princess Bai Xue, for the first time since ascending to legendary rank, unleashed the power of the Snow Monarch Fur, a technique from its previous form, the Frost Snow Woman.
Or rather, the Frost Snow Woman, a spirit beast created by the Snow Monarch, was simply a weakened version of this Wedding Ring Awakening form.
The swirling white threads formed a protective barrier around the Snow Woman, a domain of ice and snow.
Its cold, yet gentle eyes, downcast, as if all other beings were mere dust beneath its feet.
Facing the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s transformed state, Youlan Huimie’s face twisted in disbelief, unable to comprehend what it was seeing.
It had constantly fantasized about defeating the Snow Monarch, but facing this Wedding Ring Awakening form…
Its arrogance crumbled, replaced by a bitter resentment.
Why… against a mere Saint-rank spirit beast, a being so insignificant, was it being forced to unleash its full power?
Perhaps, after its earlier plea for mercy, Youlan Huimie had lost its pride, its sense of self, seeing itself now as weak and vulnerable.
Meanwhile, high above the Black Tide Ancient City, in the clouds, overlooking the battlefield…
Han Ming Huangling, the Cold Nether Phoenix Spirit, Second Seat of the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines, perched on its icy wings, observed the battles below.
Cang Yan Yuzhu and the Sinking Moon Prison Master’s clash was the most spectacular, their destructive power devastating, yet neither had inflicted any significant injuries, a pointless display of brute force.
Huo Huo Fentian and the Nether Spring Narcissus… for some reason, the Jade Concubine was nearby, simply watching with a puzzling behavior.
As for Nu Yan Huoshan, the candidate for the Boom Calamity, and the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, their battle was too chaotic, too explosive, to clearly see.
The most crucial battle was between Youlan Huimie and the Nether Princess Bai Xue. Its outcome could very well decide the fate of the Black Tide Ancient City and the Sun-Piercing Heavenly Court.
“Wow, I missed the exciting part? Am I late?”
“No,” Han Ming Huangling replied automatically, hearing the excited voice beside it.
The next second, however, its eyes widened, and it turned sharply.
Floating nearby, a shimmering, ice-blue droplet of water, its gaze fixed on the battlefield below.
Han Ming Huangling didn’t recognize it at first, but the chilling aura, the solidifying air around it… its eyes narrowed.
After a moment of stunned silence, it spoke, its voice filled with reverence,
“Will you… form a contract with me, Lord Sacred Water?”
“…”
“…”
[You?] The ice droplet glanced at Han Ming Huangling dismissively.
[Not bad, but far from the level of the Seven Concubines. Perhaps… Lost Realm potential.]
Hearing this assessment, Han Ming Huangling felt both disappointed and a strange sense of validation. The Dark Night Concubine had said something similar.
Perhaps one day, it would reach the Lost Realm, but it also knew that this lack of ambition, this settling for simply reaching the Lost Realm, was precisely why it couldn’t become one of the Seven Concubines.
The Dark Night Concubine, the Peach Blossom Concubine… those two, their rise to power swift and absolute, even among the original Seven Concubines, they were among the strongest. Their ambition was limitless, the title of Concubine a mere stepping stone.
[Hmm?]
Having finished its assessment of Han Ming Huangling, the ice droplet’s attention was drawn to the Nether Princess Bai Xue, a strange expression on its face.
It wasn’t surprised by the Snow Woman’s transformed state. It had seen the Snow Monarch’s Wedding Ring Awakening form before.
But this aura…
This feeling…
Something was wrong…
Not just the Nether Princess Bai Xue, but the entire team, their connection to Shui Yuefei… it was unusual!
The Ten Sacred Waters rarely served the same master. Their bond with their wielder was too profound, too intimate.
The same was true for the bond between a Spirit Master and their spirit beasts. A master’s favoritism was always evident.
It had been curious about Shui Yuefei, wanting to see what kind of Spirit Master the Ice Forged Decapitator had chosen.
Having once competed with Never Forget Autumn Water for the title of strongest Sacred Water, the ice droplet had no intention of serving this still-developing Shui Yuefei.
However, seeing the Nether Princess Bai Xue, it finally understood…
Shui Yuefei’s spirit beasts weren’t like those of other Spirit Masters, their roles clearly defined, their hierarchy established. They were all incredibly powerful, each capable of fighting independently, their loyalty to their master absolute, but their connection… different.
This meant that even if it formed a contract with the Nether Princess Bai Xue, it wouldn’t necessarily be bound to Shui Yuefei…
A spirit beast of the Snow Monarch’s lineage…
Even it, the second strongest of the Ten Sacred Waters, couldn’t help but feel a flicker of excitement.
It hadn’t considered the Snow Monarch before because that Eternal Holy Water… that little slut… had already pledged its loyalty, no chance of competition.
And Never Forget Autumn Water, that cuckold, having eloped with the Illusion Sea Concubine, sharing her with the Sea Breath Cradle… disgusting. It wasn’t envious at all!
The two strongest ice and water beings were already taken. It had missed its chance.
But this… this was a young, innocent, pure, and delicious-looking little Snow Woman!
