Chapter 172: Mist Colt Evolves Again, Golden Leaf Revives!!! p2
[Viral Duel]
“Whoosh—”
Without warning, the Elemental Species Emperor vanished, and the small sphere of light also disappeared. Meanwhile, the other lice that had descended with it didn’t even notice, assuming it had simply left.
“…”
“…”
Inside a colorful, mist-filled Viral World, the Elemental Species Emperor, its body radiating a golden light, looked around, confused. Soon, as the mist cleared, piles of frozen lice appeared before it. As if sensing something, its eyes widened, and it looked towards the distance.
In the next second, a snow woman, its body wreathed in a chilling, icy aura that almost froze the Emperor’s life crystal, emerged from the mist.
“Snow Flower…!!!”
“How…how can a Legend of this level exist in this world…!!!” the Elemental Species Emperor shrieked in disbelief.
Instantly, a golden force field and red ripples swept through the area.
[Starless Shackles]
[Samadhi]
Its combat skills and Arcane Arts were disabled.
Its Full Elementalization was also forcibly canceled, its life crystal exposed.
Looking at the approaching snow woman, the Elemental Species Emperor’s face turned pale.
“…”
“…”
“Less than ten seconds?”
“Why did you have to attack this area…? Now I have to kill you, risking exposure…” Lian Xing sighed, watching from inside Biluo’s cave.
If it hadn’t attacked this area, she would have let it go.
Now it had brought this upon itself…
After that, Lian Xing, whose Golden Leaf and Moonlight Rabbit hadn’t revived yet, continued her strategy: pulling any lone Monarch-Tier pet beasts into the Mist Colt’s void to be killed, letting Emperors go, unless they misbehaved.
Soon, the number of lice casualties in this area became abnormally high…
The Mist Colt’s Viral Space was filled with piles of lice corpses.
As if sensing the lack of Emperor-Tier support nearby, many Commander-Tier and Royal-Tier pet beasts began to leave, heading towards other regions.
Finding no more targets…Lian Xing, feeling a bit bored, activated the Star Gate above Bimen Pass.
“Whoosh—”
Instantly, the Celestial Anchor’s vision swept across countless regions, covering most of the Beast Tamer Alliance’s territory, even reaching Baiyue Province. Lian Xing saw the golden fox and Tian Quan, who had recently broken through to Royal-Tier, struggling against a rampaging Royal-Tier pet beast, so she immediately pulled it into the Mist Colt’s void.
“…”
“…”
As Tian Quan and the little fox were fighting, with a flash of crimson light, their enemy suddenly vanished. They looked at each other, confused.
But the little fox quickly remembered the scene of the Mist Colt pulling Jade Lady’s Monarch-Tier pet beast into its void during the All-Pet Beast Tournament.
“Wait, is that Lian Xing!?”
“How is her range so large!?”
“We didn’t even see her…where did that attack come from…!!”
Not just in Baiyue Province, but within the Celestial Anchor’s detection range, whenever a small-scale battle occurred, the Mist Colt would immediately abduct the side with the Fallen aura.
It was like a ghost story…
After that, another half a day passed.
Battles raged throughout the Pet Beast World, but the area around Bimen Pass, for thousands of kilometers, remained peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
Unknowingly, the Mist Colt and Snow Flower had killed all the lice in the vicinity…
So, Lian Xing had the Mist Colt teleport to the Dark Abyss Sea through the Star Gate, continuing its hunt. A pet beast within a kilometer of a Star Gate wasn’t considered out of range…
And because the residual aura from the battle between Snow Flower and Calamity Sun hadn’t dissipated yet, there were still many lice lingering in the area. The Mist Colt, hiding near the Star Gate, pulled them into its void one by one, its actions undetectable…
Seeing this, Lian Xing, back in Bimen Pass, smiled.
The Great Lord Biluo’s reincarnation, the Celestial Anchor, although only Commander-Tier, its usefulness in large-scale battles had far exceeded her expectations.
[Lian Xing, how are you doing!?] Just then, Jade Lady’s voice echoed from the Dominating Cauldron Palace.
“Pretty bored. What’s up?” Lian Xing replied casually.
[We’re doing okay at the Dominating Cauldron Palace. Haven’t encountered a Sovereign-Tier Emperor yet. Only two Sovereign-Tier Emperors have appeared so far, both seem to be distracted by the Seven Heavens’ defensive line.]
[But be careful, that was just the first wave. There are more lice coming. Don’t exhaust yourself!!]
“Okay, I understand~~~” Lian Xing’s tone towards Jade Lady was much more friendly now.
After all, Jade Lady had been genuinely concerned about her, constantly sending messages to check on her.
After pondering for a moment, Lian Xing recalled the Mist Colt, whose Pet Essence was almost depleted, letting it recover in her pet beast space. Then, she turned to Snow Sun, the white-haired girl who had been waiting patiently, her bloodlust barely contained.
“Snow Sun, go to the Dark Abyss Sea and attract some attention. You can reveal Black Sun Flame’s presence. There aren’t many residents there. Just draw the lice’s attention, then come back.”
“Yes, I understand…” Snow Sun said, jumping up eagerly.
Clearly, after the destruction of her hometown, she needed to vent her frustrations.
Half a minute later, as the white-haired girl appeared at the edge of the Dark Abyss Sea, a black explosion, like a miniature sun, descended.
“Boom!!!!”
With a single attack, several Monarch-Tier pet beasts were turned into charred corpses…
Sensing no Emperor-Tier auras nearby, Snow Sun had Dark Ink Candlelight increase the scale of its attack. After all, with the Star Key, she could teleport back at any moment. There was nothing to fear.
Three days later, at the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters…
Because of the four Emperors and almost 20 Monarch-Tier pet beasts, this place had attracted a large number of lice, battles raging everywhere. All the league teams – Dead Ash, Shining Girls, Inverted City, Monday, Soul Hunters, “I’ll Measure Your Code,” “I Really Want to Eat Shit,” “Get Out, Stocking Wearer,” etc. – hundreds of team members fighting together, they had actually managed to temporarily suppress the swarm of lice.
Although the Beast Tamer Alliance didn’t have any top-tier experts, their advantage was their numbers. As an alliance of tens of thousands of smaller regions, they had far more mid-tier Beast Tamers than other 2nd-level regions.
“Whoosh!!!”
In the sky, as a blue, flame-wreathed figure flashed, a Monarch-Tier louse was instantly incinerated. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, a giant, blue beast, its body engulfed in flames, appeared.
Extinction, the Ancient Juvenile Species, its size now over ten times larger than during the All-Pet Beast Tournament.
It had clearly reached Royal-Tier.
After losing to Little Flower Goddess, Extinction had actually evolved…
“…”
“…”
“Not enough…this isn’t enough…” Dead Ash, the silver-haired girl with pale eyes, sitting on Extinction’s back, muttered, gritting her teeth.
Even after evolving to Royal-Tier, Extinction was only on par with Little Flower Goddess. It was still far from reaching the level of Tears Maiden or Lian Xing.
A true Ancient Species…and…
A true Shining Species!!!
The gap in strength was so vast that it made her despair…
But even so, Dead Ash wouldn’t give up. Perhaps this was the reason she had been chosen by the Ancient Juvenile Species.
Meanwhile, as the Royal-Tier Ancient Juvenile Species and the Great Lords fought against the Monarch-Tier lice, a more intense battle was taking place high above.
A battle between Emperors, a 4v3.
The Beast Tamer Alliance had four: the Hidden Moon Marquis, in a golden court dress, riding a larger version of the Golden Flower Flying Moon; the Thousand Year Marquis, a streamlined, black and white swift; the Rain Caller Marquis, the richest woman in the Beast Tamer Alliance, who spent most of her time on endorsements, often interrupting league matches with commercials; and…
A silver-haired girl with a dragon tail, her body naked, only a few silver scales covering her.
This was Lian Xing’s first love…, Silver Dragon of Wind God Academy in Baiyue Province!!!
And she was also the Beast Tamer who had emerged victorious from the North Wind Marquis’s Speed Puzzle, becoming an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer, her rapid rise shocking the entire Beast Tamer Alliance.
The reason Silver Dragon had been chosen by the North Wind Marquis wasn’t because of her talent or strength, but simply because she was the wielder of the Wind Caller…
The Wind Caller’s requirement – its wielder could never wear any clothes – it had eliminated 99.9999% of the normal candidates.
But…
Who would have thought—
That the North Wind Marquis’s Juvenile form…was the Wind Caller…?
“Boom!!!!!”
As an invisible pressure erupted from Silver Dragon, the three Emperor-Tier lice’s bodies trembled, their Pet Essence flow becoming unstable. One of them, irritated, asked, “Wasn’t there another Emperor around here a few days ago? Where did it go? Didn’t it sense this battle!?”
“Could it be dead? But there was no commotion… Is there a Sovereign-Tier Emperor here?”
“No, that’s impossible. This place doesn’t seem like it could produce a Sovereign…”
“Should we retreat!?” the three lice Emperors whispered among themselves, their voices filled with uncertainty.
Seeing this, the Four Marquises of the Alliance intensified their attacks, pushing back the three Emperors, although a battle between Emperors couldn’t be easily decided. What surprised Silver Dragon and the others was that they, the lower-ranked Emperors of this Pet Beast World, could actually hold their own against the Emperors from the new world.
But thinking about it, although the opponents had more combat experience, their combat skill quality was ordinary, not as powerful as they had imagined.
All the good stuff had been taken by the few Sovereign-Tier lice. They could only scavenge for scraps.
Without high-quality combat skills, their power was limited.
However, at this moment…
“Boom!!!!”
As a terrifying green light exploded, a green shockwave swept across tens of thousands of regions, all living beings within silenced , their gazes fixed on the sky. As the blood-red sea parted, an Emperor-Tier Elemental Species pet beast, its body covered in green blades, like a green tornado, slowly descended.
This terrifying being’s aura alone was enough to make everyone’s scalps tingle, their blood churning…
Even the lice Emperors held their breath, not daring to speak.
Emperor-Tier, Elemental Species, Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light…
This was a Sovereign-Tier Emperor!!!
Sovereign-Tier Emperor, which meant a level above 8000, having mastered Second Stage Awakening.
At this moment, under the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s oppressive aura, none of the Beast Tamer Alliance’s pet beasts dared to move, and Silver Dragon clenched her sweaty, silver claws, a sense of impending doom washing over her.
However, after descending, the Sovereign-Tier Emperor, its body covered in green blades, ignored the ongoing battle between Emperors, its cold, glowing eyes turning towards the Dominating Cauldron Palace in the distance. For an Emperor of its level, even killing all the insects in this Pet Beast World wouldn’t provide any evolutionary benefit, so it wasn’t even interested…
In the next second…
It took a step, then stopped, looking back, its expression puzzled.
The Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light had been planning to attack the Dominating Cauldron Palace, but the strange atmosphere in this area had made it hesitate.
“What happened here!?”
“There are no signs of battle, but where are the lice that came down earlier!?”
“Those three weaklings didn’t even notice? Interesting…” Hearing the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s mocking words, the three lice Emperors realized something and looked at each other in disbelief.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t noticed, they simply hadn’t cared about the other lice’s fate.
But now, after the Sovereign-Tier Emperor pointed it out, they finally realized…
Since the battle began, not a single louse had come to reinforce them. This was highly unusual…!!!
With that, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, not wanting to waste any time, extended its claws and aimed at the area below. No matter who was playing tricks, destroying this place would reveal the truth…
“Buzzzzzzzz——!!!!!”
In the next second, as a deafening buzzing filled the air, a green energy sphere materialized between the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s claws, the terrifying pressure sending the cities below flying. Even before the attack was unleashed, this ominous prelude was enough to fill the Beast Tamer Alliance with despair…
We’re doomed…!!!
“Whoosh—”
However, just as everyone’s faces turned pale, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light suddenly canceled its attack. After a moment of silence, it turned its head, its eyes widening in surprise.
A snow woman in a burial shroud and a golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes were standing behind it.
“Snow Flower!!!!!”
“How…how can a Legend of this level exist in this world…!!!” the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light exclaimed, its composure gone.
At the same time, after a few seconds of silence, a wave of excited screams erupted from within the Beast Tamer Alliance.
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, the champion of the All-Pet Beast Tournament!!!
Although based on her displayed strength, Lian Xing couldn’t possibly challenge a Sovereign-Tier Emperor…
She was a Shining Species holder!!!
Those who had witnessed the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s battle didn’t think Lian Xing could lose, no matter the opponent…!!!
At this moment, facing the terrifying Sovereign-Tier Emperor, the golden-haired girl sighed.
“So easily exposed…”
“A Sovereign-Tier Emperor…it’s not something humans can defeat~~~” As she spoke, Lian Xing took out the revived Golden Leaf.
Then, the star in her left eye dimmed, replaced by a serious expression, something they had never seen before.
“But, there won’t be a second time…”
“No matter the opponent, no matter the tier, we won’t lose again…”
