Chapter 161: Shining Battles Ancient!!! p2
And then, the golden sphere, formed from crescent moons, continued its attack, crushing the Yellow Springs Beckon and carrying it away, spinning and grinding against the regions around the Dominating Cauldron Palace like a planet in orbit. As it moved, its speed increased, quickly catching up to the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s Viral Species Emperor, which was frantically trying to rescue the other participants.
Under the Emperor’s horrified gaze, the dazzling golden light crushed even its Viral World.
And then, under the viewers’ dumbfounded gazes, the Pet Beast World trembled, as if struck by a planet…
Centered around the Dominating Cauldron Palace, destruction and collapse spread outwards.
Like a collision between celestial bodies, a large portion of the map exploded, turning into a sea of molten lava.
The ocean’s flood and the golden planet ravaged the world.
Silence fell.
Half a minute later…
After thousands of regions had been destroyed…
The two terrifying energies finally subsided.
“…”
“…”
“Crack—”
“Cough, cough, cough!!!”
Amidst the rubble, the Dominating Cauldron Palace Emperor, its body covered in dust, crawled out from underground, coughing up blood. It was lucky that it had activated its combat skill at the last moment, otherwise, its Viral World would have collapsed…
Then, the casualties would have been unimaginable…
But somehow, even though the surrounding area had been devastated, the livestream hadn’t been interrupted, the camera even tracking the Yellow Springs Beckon, which was lying amidst the ruins of a region. At this moment, the Ancient Water Elemental’s watery body was almost dissipating, its life crystal shattered, but it was still clinging to life.
However, for some reason, its wounds weren’t healing.
The Ancient Species had been completely incapacitated…!!!
“Whoosh—”
The camera shifted back to the Dominating Cauldron Palace.
Tears Maiden, blood flowing from her seven orifices, her Pet Essence completely depleted, even Rainwater had been forcibly recalled, floated in the air, her body limp.
It seemed that even Tears Maiden had reached her limit…
And the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, its body floating in the vast ocean, seven of its eight golden ears broken, its light dimming, as if it were about to disappear… And in its remaining ear, it held a pale, golden-haired girl.
Seeing this, the audience fell silent.
It seemed both pet beasts had reached their limits…
But in that case, Lian Xing should be the winner, right?
Although both the Ancient Species and the Shining Species were down, Tears Maiden, in her current state, couldn’t even summon a pet beast, while Lian Xing still had several pet beasts left.
But at this point…did the ranking even matter anymore…?
Yes, it was probably meaningless…
After this battle between an Ancient Species and a Shining Species…what was the difference between first and second place~~~?
At this moment, since Tears Maiden was already in that state, Lian Xing naturally had no intention of delivering thefinal blow.
Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl slowly climbed out of the golden ear that had been holding her. She seemed to be checking the Moonlight Rabbit’s injuries, her expression worried as she touched its face.
However…
In the next second, something unbelievable happened.
Under the viewers’ horrified gazes, the Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, suddenly sat up and grabbed the golden-haired girl’s body with its remaining ear.
Then, a smile appeared on its lips, and it gently…kissed her.
[Scene censored]
At this moment, everyone watching the livestream – Silver Dragon, Jade Lady, Thunder Fly, the people in Baiyue Province, the “Measure Your Code” team members, and even Tears Maiden, who was almost unconscious – their eyes widened in disbelief.
This was…
Lian Xing’s…first kiss…!!!
Lian Xing’s first kiss had been taken by her own pet beast!!!
A wave of shock and confusion washed over Lian Xing, her starry eyes widening as she instinctively struggled. But as all the Pet Essence in her body was disrupted by the Shining Species’s aura, her body went limp, unable to even move.
The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon wasn’t as gentle as the Moonwalker Mother. It hadn’t bothered to control its Pet Essence at all.
No, you’re supposed to kiss me at home!!!
Doing this in public…how…lewd… Lian Xing thought, mortified.
A few seconds later, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s light faded, the golden threads on its ears turning to ash. Its playful expression gradually became vacant…
At the same time, Lian Xing’s pet beast panel changed again.
[Royal-Tier — Biological Species — Eight-Star Bewitching Moon LV1060]
The battle against the Ancient Species hadn’t increased the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s level.
Perhaps…it had been too easy…?
“…”
“…”
Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing wiped her mouth, her face red, and climbed off the snow-white Moonlight Rabbit. Like a little bunny, she looked around frantically, as if checking if the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s cameras were still on.
Unbeknownst to her, this scene had already been captured and would soon be on the cover of every pet beast magazine.
A moment later, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, its white fur as elegant and soft as before, stood up, carrying Lian Xing with its remaining ear, leaving the flooded area.
And Tears Maiden, looking at the golden-haired girl’s retreating figure, fell silent.
“After taking such a hit…it can still move…?”
“I’ve been…completely defeated…~~~~”
“…”
“…”
Thus, the epic battle between the Shining Species and the Ancient Species ended with Lian Xing’s acknowledged victory.
At the cost of her first kiss, Lian Xing had become the champion of the All-Pet Beast Tournament!!!
[April 14th, 427622, 11:00 PM, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing of Baiyue Province, Beast Tamer Alliance, summoned the Shining Species, Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon (this species was identified by a Mechanical Species Emperor within the Seven Heavens), and battled against Tears Maiden’s Ancient Species, Yellow Springs Beckon. The two pet beasts destroyed 3721 regions in 43 seconds, the aftershock affecting 60,000 regions. The battle ended with the Ancient Species incapacitated.]
[Ten minutes later, the First Lord of the Seven Heavens descended upon the Dominating Cauldron Palace, restarting all affected regions and…refreshing…90 quadrillion lives.]
[One hour later, the Beast Tamer Alliance confessed that Moon Rabbit had borrowed combat skills from the Hidden Moon Marquis, an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer. After an investigation by the Seven Heavens, it was determined that this action had no effect on the outcome of the battle. The confession was dismissed…]
[Legend Beast Tamer, the only Shining Species holder of this generation, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, has become the champion of this year’s All-Pet Beast Tournament!!!]
Half a day later, in a hospital room in the restored Dominating Cauldron Palace…
The golden-haired girl, hooked up to an IV drip, browsed the news on her phone with a satisfied smile. The Beast Tamer Alliance’s decision was clever. By confessing to her…cheating…, their regional homepage was now filled with crying emojis…
Many fans from other regions speculated that there was a power struggle within the Alliance’s higher-ups.
But if the Beast Tamer Alliance hadn’t confessed, some haters might have used this to discredit Lian Xing’s victory.
Of course, this whole incident was like drinking a beverage before a shitting competition. It was irrelevant…
Lian Xing quickly scrolled past the news.
In the next second, seeing another trending headline, her expression froze.
[A Twist of Human Nature or a Moral Downfall? Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s First Kiss Stolen by Her Shining Species “Wife” in Public!!!]
The attached image was a screenshot of her blushing and looking around frantically.
Seeing this news, Lian Xing’s hands and feet turned cold, despite the summer heat. She didn’t even dare to read the comments.
As for how they knew it was her first kiss. It was because Lian Xing, after climbing off the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, had muttered, “My first kiss…”
Although she hadn’t said it out loud, with the camera practically in her face, anyone could read her lips.
Furious and embarrassed, Lian Xing wanted to summon the Moonlight Rabbit and punish it.
“Whoosh—”
However, in the next second…
As a cloud of mist enveloped her, Lian Xing’s body vanished from the hospital room. Unlike her previous mental travels…
This time, her physical body had disappeared…
At the same time, the Moonwalker Mother’s aura around her intensified…
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
A few seconds later, as Lian Xing opened her eyes, she was met with a dozen surprised gazes.
In the Moonwalker Mother’s mist-filled world, there were now over a dozen unfamiliar girls. They stared at the golden-haired girl in a hospital gown, lying on the ground, their expressions filled with disbelief.
And in the next second, an even more shocking scene unfolded.
Not far from the girl in the hospital gown, a blue-haired girl with a fishtail, her body wrapped in bandages like a mummy, also wearing a hospital gown, appeared.
“Pfft…” Seeing Tears Maiden’s pathetic appearance, Lian Xing couldn’t help but laugh.
Tears Maiden glared at her, then turned her attention to the dozen unfamiliar girls. Their uniforms were unlike anything she had seen before. Even with her experience, Tears Maiden couldn’t tell which region they were from.
But judging by their auras, most of them were Monarch-Tier Beast Tamers…
They seemed strong…
“Click, clack—”
In the next second, as they looked at each other, a white-haired deer woman in a wedding dress, her long, elegant legs in 20cm high heels, her large antlers adorned with glittering jewels, her long, white hair flowing like clouds, countless cloud-shaped ornaments creating a dreamlike effect, emerged from the mist.
And then, something unexpected happened.
Seeing the Moonwalker Mother, all 17 unfamiliar girls knelt down, their heads bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Sanctuary Guardian!!!”
“…”
“…”
A few seconds later, as the Moonwalker Mother nodded, the 17 girls stood up cautiously. One of them, a girl with long, red hair in a ponytail, asked, “Sanctuary Guardian, forgive my rudeness, but who are these two…?”
The Moonwalker Mother didn’t answer, instead looking at Tears Maiden and Lian Xing with a pleased expression.
“Little Star, Little Tears, I apologize for summoning you so suddenly.”
“Actually, you probably already know, looking at their uniforms, this isn’t your Pet Beast World~~”
“This is the world beyond the gate, and they are Beast Tamers from different 1st-level sanctuaries, all connected to Legends.”
“I recently received information that Snow Flower, which fled to a lower-level Pet Beast World thousands of years ago, has reappeared. And it happens to be in your world. So, I’ve decided to send these 17 to retrieve Snow Flower.”
“But—” It paused, its expression turning serious as it looked at the 17 girls.
“Your actions will be overseen by these two. Any transgressions or violations and they have the authority to eliminate you.”
“Understood!?”
“Yes, Sanctuary Guardian!!!” the 17 girls replied in unison.
However, although their response was immediate, their expressions and their thoughts betrayed them, their gazes fixed on the two sickly-looking girls.
Eliminate us?
These two crippled girls from a lower-level Pet Beast World…?
They looked barely 15…
Even if they were talented, they couldn’t possibly control them, Monarch-Tier Beast Tamers, right!?
“Whoosh—”
Soon, the 17 girls from the 1st-level sanctuaries were teleported away by the Moonwalker Mother.
Only Lian Xing and Tears Maiden remained.
They looked at each other, their eyes wide.
Sanctuary Guardian…?
The Mother’s background was more impressive than they had thought. They had suspected that the Moonwalker Mother was a being from beyond the Sanctuary Gate, but they hadn’t expected it to have authority over these Beast Tamers from the 1st-level sanctuaries.
Looking at the two girls’ surprised expressions, the Moonwalker Mother smiled.
“You two did well…”
“An Ancient Species, a Shining Species was beyond my expectations—”
“But Little Tears, since you’ve relied on my help so much, I gave Little Star a protective aura before the tournament. You don’t think I’m being unfair, do you?”
“…”
“…”
“Mother, I accept…my defeat. It’s my own lack of strength… I have no complaints,” Tears Maiden said, shaking her head.
Besides, that protective aura hadn’t been a factor in the Shining Species evolution.
“Good. Then I’ll entrust this task to you two~~~”
“One month from today, I’ll send these 17 directly to Snow Flower’s domain. I’ll need you two to supervise them~~”
“Don’t let them stray from their mission, and they’re not allowed to harm the beings in your world. If they can’t retrieve Snow Flower, then contract with it yourselves.”
“Otherwise, if Snow Flower continues to grow unchecked, your Pet Beast World will be consumed by it…”
Hearing this, Tears Maiden’s expression turned grim.
As a lord of the Seven Heavens, she naturally knew about Snow Flower.
Snow Flower, one of the 72 Legends…
It wasn’t just known as the most beautiful pet beast, but also…
The closest being to a Fallen Species!!!
A while later, Tears Maiden also left, and Lian Xing was alone in the white deer space.
“Little Star, do you have any more questions for me?”
“…”
“…”
“Mother—” Lian Xing started to ask, then stopped, unable to continue under the Moonwalker Mother’s knowing gaze.
She had said she wouldn’t rely on the Mother’s help again or she would have her bones crushed…
Although she wanted to ask for a treasure that could extend the duration of her Shining form…the price seemed too high…
A few seconds later, as Lian Xing hesitated, her face flushed, the white deer in the wedding dress walked towards her. Then, it lifted a hoof, took a golden necklace from among the countless jewels adorning its antlers, and gently placed it around Lian Xing’s neck.
“This is made from a Shining Species’s life crystal. Consider it a reward for evolving a Shining Species~~~”
As she put on the shimmering necklace, Lian Xing’s face flushed, and she immediately felt a change. The Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s aura within her began to intensify. At this rate, it could probably activate Shining Awakening again in a little over a month.
Lian Xing, overcome with excitement, hugged the white deer’s neck, practically strangling it.
“Thank you, Mother! You’re the best!!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!” The Moonwalker Mother coughed violently.
Unlike its one-time human form, its current deer body was just an illusion… It couldn’t handle such rough treatment…
So, it immediately teleported Lian Xing away.
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!”
A few seconds later, the mist dispersed.
Lian Xing’s body reappeared in the hospital room in the Dominating Cauldron Palace.
The moment she returned, the Azure Mechanical Heart’s aura sensor alerted her, and she looked towards the door. Little Flower Goddess, Thunder Fly, and Jade Lady were standing outside, their expressions grim, seemingly in a standoff…
They had been standing there for three minutes, not even noticing that the golden-haired girl inside had been teleported to another world.
However, Lian Xing, seeing them, simply ignored them and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, one month remained until the Beast Tamers from the new world would arrive…
