Chapter 491: Battle of the Semi-Divines
–Cangsheng Palace, First Saint Court–
Half an hour had passed since the Four Flame Demons’ attack began. From the sky to the ground, from the center of the realm to its edges, the Black Tide Ancient City was in chaos, fire and ice clashing, mountains crumbling, the earth shaking.
Not only had Youlan Huimie, which claimed to have once faced the Snow Monarch, been annihilated, but even Huo Huo Fentian, the vessel of the Divine Court, had also been defeated.
At this moment, amidst the ruins of Youlan Huimie’s last stand, the black Water Element, wielding the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, was absorbing the lingering spirit energy, the blade’s power increasing.
As the Shadowlurking Blade absorbed the Divine Court’s fragmented power, its form shifted, the long, straight blade twisting, becoming a hollow crescent moon, like a sun with its core removed.
A dark, shadowy aura, sharp and menacing, radiated from the blade, finally befitting a legendary being.
The Nether Spring Narcissus, gripping the blade, swung it experimentally, then turned, its gaze searching, a puzzled expression on its face. Where had the Snow Woman gone? It had seemed so eager to fight before…
And it sensed another powerful aura that had recently passed through here, likely having interacted with the Snow Woman.
Meanwhile, the Jade Concubine, its body covered by a shimmering, translucent veil of water, watched the Nether Spring Narcissus from a safe distance, a shy expression on its face.
[Should we… go and help the others fight the remaining Flame Demons?]
[No. We’ll wait until they’re finished and then… collect the spoils.]
The Nether Spring Narcissus, having checked its connection to its master, noticed that both the Sinking Moon Prison Master and the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa were still battling, their progress slow.
It would wait until their battles concluded. It didn’t want to get involved.
….
At the same time, on the opposite side of the Black Tide Ancient City, the Nether Princess Bai Xue, its figure a blur, was fleeing, pursued relentlessly by a shimmering, ice-blue droplet.
Having been rejected by the Nether Princess, the Frozen Stone Flow Killer wasn’t about to let it escape.
The ice-blue droplet chased the Snow Woman across the Black Tide Ancient City. After almost a full circle, they finally stopped.
The Frozen Stone Flow Killer, panting slightly, its aura radiating impatience, blocked the Snow Woman’s path.
And then, something unexpected happened.
Both Cang Yan Yuzhu and the Sinking Moon Prison Master, their battle interrupted, turned their heads, their gazes fixed on the newcomers, a strange, almost comical, scene.
The Frozen Stone Flow Killer, in its pursuit, had inadvertently led the Nether Princess Bai Xue to another battlefield…
After a moment of silence, the Nether Princess Bai Xue turned and fled, the Frozen Stone Flow Killer hot on its heels.
What were they doing? The two semi-divine spirit beasts exchanged bewildered glances.
“…”
“…”
“Not just Huo Huo Fentian, but Youlan Huimie has also been defeated…?”
Cang Yan Yuzhu, staring at the Snow Woman’s retreating figure, its eyes narrowing, noticed the faint traces of blue flames clinging to it.
So it had fought Youlan Huimie… and won!
After a few seconds of silence, Cang Yan Yuzhu’s aura erupted, a golden inferno.
Flames danced around its beautiful body, and it turned its gaze towards the silver rabbit woman, a predatory glint in its eyes.
“Since I’ve already lost two companions, I suppose I should take this seriously. I’ll use ten percent of my power~~~”
[Oh, is that ten percent? Then I’ll use five percent of my full power!] the Sinking Moon Prison Master replied casually.
Cang Yan Yuzhu’s breath hitched, its face hardening, then, after a moment of hesitation, it stammered,
“Actually, I meant one percent… of ten percent…”
[Then it doesn’t matter, because I meant five percent of one percent of your ten percent.] The silver rabbit woman casually twirled a strand of hair, its tone mocking.
Boom!!!!
The moment the words were spoken, their auras clashed.
A terrifying shockwave, their powers colliding, the surrounding landscape shattering, the earth tilting.
A massive, full moon materialized behind the Sinking Moon Prison Master, while a golden phoenix, wreathed in flames, rose behind Cang Yan Yuzhu.
The two spirit diagrams clashed, their auras intertwining, a scene of apocalyptic destruction.
Unpredictable, elusive, swift, and powerful, these were the semi-divine spirit beasts, their unique blend of three attributes making them unmatched among their peers.
Swish, swish, swish—
The rabbit woman’s silver hair, like a swirling galaxy, its range infinite, lashed out, the Cang Yan Yuzhu’s body instantly riddled with cuts.
Before it could react, one of the massive rabbit ears grabbed it, the other, like a boxer hitting a heavy bag, delivered a series of blows.
A deafening barrage, Cang Yan Yuzhu coughing up blood, its body battered and bruised.
After this brutal assault, the Sinking Moon Prison Master crouched down, a dense, pure sphere of spirit energy forming before its foot.
Then, with a powerful kick, amplified by its terrifying momentum, the air distorting around it, the silver rabbit woman sent the spirit energy sphere flying.
Boom!!!!
An instant detonation.
As the white light exploded, Cang Yan Yuzhu’s aura weakened considerably, its previously overbearing presence now diminished.
Anything struck by the Sinking Moon Prison Master’s foot was instantly teleported to its target, a speed that even elemental spirit beasts, with their fluid forms, couldn’t react to.
As the white smoke and dust cleared, Cang Yan Yuzhu, its body covered in wounds, was revealed.
[You were planning to use one percent of ten percent of your power, weren’t you? So I accidentally used… one hundred percent of my power.~~~]
“Shameless…” Hearing the Sinking Moon Prison Master’s mocking tone, the phoenix woman, its feathers ruffled in indignation, like a young girl being teased, spat out a curse.
It had never encountered such a cheeky opponent.
