Chapter 495: Frozen Calamity’s Spirit Diagram
Crack, crack, crack—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The flames erupting from the volcano-shaped spirit diagram incinerated the purple cubes, the scorching heat turning the world into a furnace.
A few moments later, the small Fire Spirit, its body delicate, emerged from the ashes, its gaze fixed on the purple doll floating above, a grim expression on its face.
It couldn’t even sense its opponent’s limits, as if it were being toyed with.
This was a true Disaster…
As Nu Yan Huoshan seethed with frustration, the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, its small hands framing its face, spoke.
[You… are a low-ranking candidate, aren’t you?]
“…”
“…”
Hearing this, Nu Yan Huoshan’s fiery aura calmed, a heavy silence falling.
It couldn’t deny it. As a candidate for the Boom Calamity, it was far weaker than Wu Yan Luelan, a candidate for the Destruction Calamity.
Wu Yan Luelan had reached the Lost Realm, while it, even at the Setting Sun Stage, wasn’t particularly powerful.
Judging by its restrained level of destruction, it wasn’t considered a major threat, not even by the Ten Sacred Domains.
Pure destruction and slaughter weren’t enough to earn the title of “Calamity.” At most, a nuisance.
The Six Disasters were called Calamities precisely because of their unpredictability, their unintentional destruction. Natural disasters didn’t deliberately target specific individuals.
“Frozen Calamity, although I respect your title, don’t get too cocky. You’re just a Waning Moon Stage weakling! Once Zhirifei, the Weaver of the Sun, arrives, you’ll be crushed!”
“Since you underestimate me so much, I’ll show you my true power! My Domain!!”
After a long silence, Nu Yan Huoshan roared, its voice filled with anger.
The Fire Spirit’s small hands clenched and began to spin, the world around them distorting, like a twisting bottle cap.
Boom!!!
A wave of scorching heat, incinerating everything, the sky and the earth losing their color.
At the heart of this inferno, the purple doll, its horns singed, its body covered in soot, a grotesque and unsettling sight.
[Sun and Moon Domain – Great Sun Furnace]
Within the fiery furnace, the Fire Spirit, reborn, its form perfected by the intense heat, its power enhanced, now sported a pair of massive, tattered bat wings, their fiery red color a product of the inferno, each flap radiating a scorching heat.
Floating above, looking down at the battered purple doll, the Fire Spirit grinned smugly.
“Frozen Calamity, my normal form might be the weakest among the candidates, but my second form… rivals even the Six Disasters!”
“The higher the temperature, the greater my power. And my Sun and Moon Domain can reach the same level of heat as the Divine Court!!!”
As Nu Yan Huoshan boasted, the temperature within its Domain rose to an unbearable level.
The purple doll, its hands covering its melting, doll-like skin, pulled out a few strands of cotton candy-like spirit energy.
Picking cotton candy at a time like this combined with its scorched skin… a truly bizarre sight.
“…”
“…”
Seeing its opponent’s nonchalant behavior, Nu Yan Huoshan’s face twisted in anger.
But there was no need to attack. The Great Sun Furnace’s heat alone would incinerate the Frozen Calamity, unless it got serious.
However, even as its body melted, the purple doll remained motionless, offering no resistance.
The Frozen Calamity… defeated?
Despite this victory against a member of the Six Disasters, Nu Yan Huoshan felt no joy, only a growing unease.
It stared at the Frozen Calamity’s remains, its eyes widening in shock.
No core…?
This purple doll had no core. This meant that it had been fighting… a mere construct of spirit energy.
Swish!
As Nu Yan Huoshan stared in disbelief, eight massive, icy, purple arms, like a peacock’s fanned tail, emerged from the void.
The eight arms, formed from pure ice spirit energy, their wrists adorned with shimmering crystalline eyes, hovered around a small, icy Disaster Ring.
The ice ring and the icy eyes, appearing within the fiery furnace, instantly lowered the temperature, frost spreading, even the flames themselves beginning to freeze.
[You said… your second form rivals the Six Disasters?]
A cold, seductive voice echoed, and Nu Yan Huoshan trembled, a chilling dread.
A beautiful woman with long, shimmering, purple hair, sat cross-legged on a throne of ice, her arm resting elegantly on the armrest, her chin on her hand, a pair of massive curved horns on her head, radiating a terrifyingly cold aura, like an empress.
“F-Frozen… Frozen Calamity…”
Nu Yan Huoshan, its voice trembling, stared at the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa’s transformed state.
So this was its true form? Worlds apart from that playful doll, its aura terrifying.
If it weren’t for its own Sun and Moon Domain, it would be groveling at the Frozen Calamity’s feet, begging for mercy.
[You said… you wanted a more… challenging death?]
[Then, as you wish…~~~]
As Nu Yan Huoshan’s face paled, the beautiful, purple-haired woman, her aura radiating cold dominance, snapped her fingers, and the ice ring behind her melted.
The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, its Disaster Ring unleashed!!!
…
Meanwhile, within the Black Moon Dead Tower Palace…
Despite the chaos outside, the massive flower bud, entwined with vines and tentacles, remained undisturbed.
After a long while, a blue-haired figure, its clothes torn, emerged, its body covered in a sticky, plant-like residue, its face contorted in a grimace of pain.
Shui Yuefei, having escaped the tentacle hell!
