Chapter 186: Mist Colt Awakens, Surpassing the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor!!!
“I don’t need to answer that. Because I’m stronger than you.”
As Lian Xing’s arrogant words echoed through the air, silence fell over the fleet.
City Lord Yun Jing frowned.
Even ordinary Monarch-Tier pet beasts possessed human-level intelligence, let alone a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Yet, she couldn’t comprehend this girl’s words.
A Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, in this situation, should be begging for mercy or explaining herself.
But Lian Xing had done neither, instead making such a ludicrous claim.
Her serious starry eyes made it seem like she actually had a way to deal with a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor.
Although she acted confident, Lian Xing was inwardly panicking. City Lord Yun Jing’s aura was far stronger than the Great Emperor on Flood’s back. And from her brief encounter with Snow Flower, she knew the City Lord wasn’t afraid of Calamity Sun’s knockback. Besides having Moonlight Rabbit use its Second Stage Awakening, she had no other options. But she couldn’t show any weakness.
As Lian Xing desperately searched for a solution, City Lord Yun Jing also grew impatient. Snow Flower was getting away. So, she raised her hand.
“Boom!!!!”
Two deafening explosions. As Lian Xing was sent flying by the impact, a barrage of light spears struck City Lord Yun Jing, shredding her body. A misty, emerald green antelope, carrying the golden-haired girl and the white Moonlight Rabbit, plunged into the void.
Having taken a direct hit from a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s crystalline body was cracked and bleeding, but as steam erupted from its wounds, it began to regenerate. As long as its Viral World wasn’t shattered in a single attack, it could recover!
“Whoosh——!!!” City Lord Yun Jing emerged from the mist, looking around cautiously.
This Royal-Tier Beast Tamer had actually blocked her attack?
The Eight-Star Bewitching Moon piercing her defenses was one thing, but that misty antelope was also Royal-Tier? What power were these two from?
But if they wanted to hide, let them. It suited her just fine. She ordered the airships to continue their pursuit. A Royal-Tier pet beast couldn’t outrun an Emperor-class airship.
Lian Xing, trapped inside Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s void, was frustrated. She couldn’t hide on the airships; the void would be penetrated by anything, even inertia. She watched as the airships flew away, City Lord Yun Jing staying behind until they reached maximum speed, then giving chase.
Lian Xing emerged from the void, and as she exchanged glances with City Lord Yun Jing, who was standing on an airship, the City Lord turned away, ignoring her.
Just as Lian Xing was about to give up, Cloud and Dream’s Promise spoke.
“Master, should we continue the pursuit? We can’t catch them at this distance.” Lian Xing sighed. She had one last, desperate option: teleport to Cloud Mirror City through the Star Gate and attack it, forcing the City Lord to return. But that wouldn’t solve the problem. There were other powerful forces in the Cloud Mist Sea trying to capture Snow Flower.
“We can catch them,” Cloud and Dream’s Promise said.
Lian Xing was confused. Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s speed wasn’t even a tenth of the new world airships’, and they were now two minutes behind.
Then, under Lian Xing’s incredulous gaze, a faint mist rose from beneath Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s hooves, and its emerald horn extended, almost parallel to its body.
[Awakening]
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
A deafening explosion.
Lian Xing was sent tumbling, her hair and face contorted by the force, as Cloud and Dream’s Promise shot forward, the scenery blurring into streaks of light.
A giant hoof print remained in the clouds.
In the next second, under City Lord Yun Jing’s shocked gaze, Cloud and Dream’s Promise overtook the fleet, a second giant hoof print appearing in their midst, sending the airships tumbling, the pet beasts and Beast Tamers inside thrown around.
Before City Lord Yun Jing could react, Cloud and Dream’s Promise, its speed doubling, vanished, leaving only the shockwave.
“What the—!?”
And Lian Xing, her eyes wide, watched as Cloud and Dream’s Promise, in its awakened state, caught up to Snow Flower and Golden Leaf, who were almost ten minutes ahead.
Snow Flower, caught off guard, was pulled into Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s aura. It looked at Lian Xing, confused.
“Boom!!!!”
A third giant hoof print appeared, and Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s speed tripled, a blur of light crossing a small section of the map, its speed no longer like running in the Cloud Mist Sea, but on the map itself, like a finger tracing a globe.
Even Lian Xing had never seen such speed. Even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor couldn’t achieve this.
Invincible…
“Master, I can’t maintain this. My Awakening will end after one more acceleration. Even then, Cloud Mirror City will catch up in half a day. What should we do?”
“I…I understand…” Lian Xing nodded, a mixture of awe and worry.
So, Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Awakening was a one-time burst…
After four bursts of speed, it would reach its limit.
She had hoped it could maintain this speed indefinitely. It was unrealistic…
Cloud and Dream’s Promise had one more acceleration left.
She had to find a way to deal with the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor and safely escort Snow Flower to the Three Saints Palace while Cloud Mirror City was still far behind.
Lian Xing frowned.
On the virtual map, two cities, as large as Cloud Mirror City, were located at the border between the Cloud Mist Sea and the Three Saints Palace. And between them, a deer antler symbol marked a special territory, clearly connected to the Moonwalker Mother.
This was troublesome…
In the worst-case scenario, she and Snow Flower would have to face four Ten Thousand Level Great Emperors!!!
“Boom!!!!”
The fourth hoof print appeared, and Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s speed reached an unfathomable level, everything around it seemingly frozen, the Pet Essence and air still. Hundreds of kilometers of clouds were dispersed by the pressure, a single arc of light crossing millions of kilometers, bringing them to the final stretch. Then, after coasting for hundreds of meters, Cloud and Dream’s Promise, enveloped in a swirling mist, stopped, the flames beneath its hooves and in its eyes fading.
“Master, I can’t…continue… It’s up to you now…”
“Well done, that’s enough. Rest~~~” Lian Xing said, her voice filled with gratitude, as Cloud and Dream’s Promise returned to her pet beast space.
And Lian Xing mounted the Golden Leaf, the snow woman in the white shroud silently joining her, then, as a dreamlike, snowy mist, began drifting forward. Along their path, everything froze.
Although Snow Flower’s aura was powerful, its speed was nothing compared to the awakened Cloud and Dream’s Promise.
At this rate, Cloud Mirror City would catch up within half a day!!!
Lian Xing checked Snow Flower’s status.
It was close…
Very close to breaking through to Monarch-Tier.
As a high-ranking Legend, once it reached Monarch-Tier, it wouldn’t have to fear a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor!
But a Legend’s breakthrough wasn’t easy. Even a small step couldn’t be achieved in a short time.
It probably wouldn’t be able to evolve during this escape…
Thinking of this, Lian Xing looked at the white Moonlight Rabbit behind her with a worried expression.
“Bunny, get ready. You might have to use your Second Stage Awakening again—”
“…”
“…”
After a moment, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon nodded slowly.
It had defeated a Sovereign-Tier Emperor with its Second Stage Star Pole Awakening before. And now, wielding Calamity Sun, and having gained new Arcane Arts, even if it couldn’t defeat a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, it could at least stall for a while.
However, revealing the Shining Species and the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura so soon after arriving in the new world was a risky decision, and it was up to Lian Xing to decide.
But…
There was one more thing the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was concerned about.
This area was near the Three Saints Palace, at the edge of the Cloud Mist Sea, so it could sense the auras of several Legends.
Qianqiu, Lover, First Quarter, and…Frost Flower!?
Was Frost Flower a guest of the Three Saints Palace?
First Quarter and Frost Flower were close.
Waxing and Waning…there was a conflict…
