Chapter 541: The Crystal Serpent Evolves
Kiss
As the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine’s lips met Gong Lianyue’s, time seemed to freeze, a stunned silence falling upon the scene.
Both Gong Lianyue and the Snow Prison legendary beings watching from the sidelines stared, their faces blank with shock and disbelief.
The previously tense, desperate atmosphere… How had it suddenly turned into a romantic drama?
And then, the next second—
Boom!!!!
Several spirit beasts erupted from the blue-haired woman’s body, their combined auras sending the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine tumbling backwards.
A terrifying shockwave, a destructive force, the entire spirit crystal mine trembling, the earth cracking and collapsing.
Gong Lianyue had intended to continue playing dead, but it seemed her spirit beasts had other ideas.
A powerful surge of water spirit energy, like a cascading waterfall, erupted from her, its overwhelming force stunning even the legendary beings who had accompanied her, a power far beyond her previous, weaker form.
In the blink of an eye, the low-rank Spirit Master Gong Lianyue had become a legendary being!
A few seconds later, a graceful, humanoid figure, clad in a revealing martial arts outfit, materialized before the blue-haired woman, its long, flowing black hair, its beautiful, cold face, its half-closed eyes, radiating an unparalleled martial arts prowess.
The Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake, a legendary-rank spirit beast!
Enemies reunited, the auras of the Jade Concubine and the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine clashed, the earth shaking, the sky tearing, the spirit crystal veins exploding, the weaker Snow Prison legendary beings, carrying the injured shark woman, retreating in terror.
Only now did they understand the frog woman’s frustrated cries. This seemingly ordinary girl… she was hiding an incredibly powerful legendary spirit beast!
[That’s more like it.]
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, its eyes burning with a renewed fighting spirit, its sharp antlers extending, its body crouching low, a predatory stance, a chilling mist emanating from its hooves, prepared to charge.
The Jade Concubine, however, frowned, its expression dark, a flicker of annoyance in its eyes.
This Ice Antelope… still clinging to its grudge… What a muscle-brained idiot.
Boom, boom, boom!!!!
The next second, they clashed, a deafening roar, a world-shattering impact, and the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine, its body a blur of motion, an icy blue streak, its antler piercing the Jade Concubine’s side, carried it away, disappearing into the distance.
The other legendary beings nearby were sent tumbling by the shockwave, and Gong Lianyue, also thrown to the ground, landed in a rather suggestive pose.
She cautiously looked around, about to retreat, when she noticed something behind her.
The low-rank Crystal Serpent, taking advantage of the chaos, was frantically devouring the nearby spirit crystals, its small body swelling.
“Wait, that thing…!!!”
Gong Lianyue was about to warn it about the dangers of consuming such dense spirit energy, when her teardrop eyes widened in shock.
The Crystal Serpent, having swallowed an entire spirit crystal vein, continued to devour the others, its small, low-rank aura showing no signs of strain.
How was this possible? This was a central spirit crystal mine from the mythical era, its energy incredibly dense, far more potent than the deadliest poison, something even the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, with its high spirit energy capacity, wouldn’t dare consume directly!
And yet, this Crystal Serpent was devouring it like candy, as if it hadn’t eaten in days.
Which, technically, it hadn’t…
As the Crystal Serpent continued its feast, a small portion of the absorbed spirit energy, diluted and refined, flowed into Gong Lianyue’s soul cores.
Sensing her spirit energy reserves increasing rapidly, Gong Lianyue retrieved the Lost Realm body offered by the Snow Prince.
Seeing the body, the Crystal Serpent abandoned the spirit crystals and eagerly slithered towards it, its small mouth, stretching impossibly wide, swallowing the entire body, core and all.
After a brief pause, as if to digest, it returned to the spirit crystal veins, resuming its feast.
…
…
Gong Lianyue, who had been expecting some kind of evolutionary transformation, was slightly disappointed by the Crystal Serpent’s lack of reaction.
However, the more it ate, the more spirit energy she received. At this rate, reaching the peak of the Setting Sun Stage was just a matter of time.
Just what kind of spirit beast was this, capable of consuming such dense spirit energy?
Seeing the Crystal Serpent’s enthusiasm, the little fox, also tempted, peeked out from Gong Lianyue’s cleavage, its mouth watering, only to be shoved back down.
There were three central mines, all currently being targeted by the Azure Spring’s forces.
The Ice Antelope Grand Concubine had claimed this one. The other Setting Sun Stage legendary beings were likely still battling for the other two.
A single mine’s spirit energy was enough to create a realm far denser than the Ten Sacred Domains. If she drained all three…
Feeling her spirit energy surging, Gong Lianyue made a decision.
The Jade Concubine’s cover had been blown. There was no point in hiding anymore. The worst that could happen was being captured and forced to produce a few hundred offspring.
Swish!
Swish!
Two icy figures materialized.
A beautiful Snow Woman in a pure white mourning dress, a bridal veil, and a strangely kinky lace mask.
And a small, purple doll with horns, a shimmering, watery ribbon swirling behind it.
The Nether Princess Bai Xue, wielding the Realm of Extreme Cold.
And the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, wielding the Ice Forged Decapitator.
Understanding Gong Lianyue’s intentions, they exchanged glances and nodded.
Whoosh!
The next second, the two figures vanished, two streaks of light, heading towards the other two central mines.
The spirit crystal mines of this realm… they would soon belong to Shui Yuefei!
