Chapter 545: A Legendary’s Disdain
At this moment, within one of the central spirit crystal mines, the Snow Woman in its white mourning dress, surrounded by four Lost Realm beings, looked like a trapped rabbit, its escape routes blocked.
Hearing the Snow Woman’s challenge, a duel, the four Lost Realm beings exchanged puzzled glances, then sneered, their expressions dismissive.
A spirit beast not even at the peak of the Setting Sun Stage, daring to challenge a Lost Realm being? Such arrogance.
However, with such a vast difference in power, a one-on-one duel and a four-on-one beatdown were practically the same.
After a brief discussion, a four-armed, mermaid-like spirit beast with flowing, purple-pink hair, like shimmering coral, a trident in each hand, emerged from the group.
“Bi Tao Xing of the Heavenly Spring.”
“I reached the Lost Realm thirty thousand years ago. I’m not some newcomer you can casually defeat. In terms of seniority, you are merely the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of the disciple of my disciple. Understand?”
Bi Tao Xing of the Heavenly Spring…
Hearing this name, the Nether Princess Bai Xue paused, its mind, accessing the Snow Monarch’s memories, recalling this being.
Bi Tao Xing wasn’t weak. In fact, it had been a renowned figure in the mythical era, its power so great it had even survived into the current age.
However, this legendary warrior had fallen during the Cold Deer King’s rampage…
Not just Bi Tao Xing, but almost all the Seven Concubines and the Four Shields, even the entire spirit world, had been caught in the crossfire of that battle, the Cold Deer King, in its Second Stage Liberation, a force of nature, only the Snow Monarch’s intervention preventing complete annihilation.
If it was Bi Tao Xing… this battle might actually be interesting.
[Very well. You will be my opponent.]
Seeing the Snow Woman’s eager expression, Bi Tao Xing frowned.
Such enthusiasm… it was almost insulting.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A terrifying wave of water spirit energy erupted from the four-armed mermaid, like a tsunami, engulfing the sky, transforming the surrounding area into a swirling vortex of water, a cascading waterfall.
Witnessing this spectacular display of power, the spirit beasts from the smaller realms, those who had entered through the Soul Prison Trial, were stunned.
Seven Concubines level…!!!
A random Lost Realm being from the mythical era, its power comparable to a Seven Concubines… How terrifying!
And how could they possibly defeat the mastermind behind this incident, or perhaps this mermaid itself was the mastermind…?
“That one’s causing quite a commotion.”
“What about you? Do you also want a duel?”
Meanwhile, at another of the central mines, five Lost Realm beings surrounded a small, purple doll, their expressions amused.
The horned doll, its body trembling, was lifted into the air by a silver-haired woman with a forked whale’s tail, which was dangling it playfully.
[Fight me one-on-one if you dare! Ganging up on me is cowardly!] the purple doll shrieked, its small arms flailing.
“…”
“…”
“Pfft! Hahahahaha! You? Seriously?”
The Heavenly Spring beings chuckled, poking and prodding the doll’s soft, squishy body, tears welling up in the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa’s eyes, its expression pitiful.
“It’s so cute! Don’t kill it! I want to take it home as a pillow!”
“Alright, little one, we won’t bully you. No need for a duel. We’ll give you three seconds to run, then we’ll catch you. If we catch you, you hand over the mine. Deal?”
“Deal.”
The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa’s strategic display of cuteness had earned it three seconds.
It glanced around nervously, then turned and fled, its body a blur of purple light, disappearing into the distance.
The five Heavenly Spring beings simply watched, their expressions amused.
Such a slow, pathetic escape. They could catch it in three seconds, let alone three minutes. A single activation of their Sun and Moon Domains would trap it.
“Three…”
“Two…”
“One…”
“Time’s up~~~”
The whale-tailed woman smiled and stepped forward, about to give chase, when a faint, ice-blue line suddenly appeared on its core, as if carved by an unseen blade.
What was that?
The other four Heavenly Spring beings also saw the strange mark, a non-physical, illusory cut.
Although there were twenty Lost Realm beings in the Heavenly Spring, only the leader possessed one of the Ten Sacred Waters. They naturally didn’t recognize the Ice Forged Decapitator’s mark.
Bang!
A thin, shimmering, purple thread of spirit energy, like a laser beam, at a speed beyond comprehension, pierced through the whale-tailed woman’s core.
The projectile, its power undiminished, continued for hundreds of millions of kilometers before a delayed sonic boom, followed by the sound of shattering, echoed.
…
…
The whale-tailed woman, unable to even react, its eyes wide with shock, its body trembling, coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
Having reached the Lost Realm, it wouldn’t die from a shattered core, but it was clearly out of the fight…
The other four Heavenly Spring beings, after a moment of stunned silence, their faces contorted in rage, glared at the spot where the purple doll had vanished.
That thing… it wasn’t some weak, helpless doll. It had just shattered a Lost Realm being’s core with a single attack!
Just as they were about to unleash their Domains, the purple doll, its previously slow, almost comical escape now a blur of motion, vanished, exceeding their range in an instant.
The four of them, their fury erupting, gave chase.
