Chapter 192: Lian Xing Arrives, The Shining Species Beast Tamer Causes a Sensation!!
In the new world, previously referred to as the Sanctuary by those in the lower Pet Beast Worlds.
Lian Xing gradually adapted to her new surroundings. They called this world the Moon Soul World. The numerous lower worlds were like insignificant bubbles scattered across its vast expanse. Some were remnants of other worlds that had collided with the Moon Soul World, others were fragments torn away by Fallen Species.
The Sanctuary Guardians, six high-ranking Legends with exceptional combat power, like Reverse Time, Moonwalker, and Cold Moon, were responsible for maintaining order within their territories, including the bubble worlds within their domains.
Besides the Guardians, there were other powerful beings in the Moon Soul World: the dominant Shining Duo, the destructive Four Disasters, the elusive First Emperor—and the Shining Six Stars!!! Six Monarch-Tier Shining Species, renowned throughout the Moon Soul World. And their leader, Heavenly Maiden, was admired and adored by all, effortlessly attracting both lovers and pet beasts, the dream girl of countless Beast Tamers. In less than a century, she had reached the pinnacle, even the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge, one of the Shining Duo, had bestowed upon her a Shining combat skill left behind by the Star Goddess millions of years ago. Any who challenged Heavenly Maiden’s supremacy were doomed to fail.
And yet, as the Six-Point Banquet approached, a reckless village girl dared to challenge her.
“Buzzzzzzzz!!!!!”
A high-tech airship, bearing the symbol of a heart, a butterfly, and a crescent moon, sped through the sky above the Three Saints Palace, its speed far exceeding that of the airships in the Cloud Mist Sea, even comparable to Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s first awakened burst. There were only three passengers: First Quarter, one of the Three Saints; Snow Flower; and Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes.
Lian Xing felt a bit awkward about meeting Snow Flower again so soon. After all, she had declared that she would retrieve it next time. And for a pet beast, such words were like a confession…
Under Snow Flower’s knowing gaze, Lian Xing blushed and fidgeted.
First Quarter, as usual, remained silent and aloof, meditating in a corner.
Lian Xing, after wandering around the airship, began examining her pet beast lineup. Without Moonlight Rabbit’s Third Stage Awakening, she couldn’t defeat a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. With it, she could slaughter them.
So, Calamity Sun’s position was awkward…Without Awakening, she couldn’t win. With Awakening, Calamity Sun was unnecessary.
It could only be used to counter specific abilities, not to damage a Great Emperor’s life crystal, unless it activated its own Awakening.
But after being reluctantly captured, it probably wouldn’t willingly awaken for Moonlight Rabbit.
And Star Sand was practically useless now.
Moonlight Rabbit’s power had increased too rapidly after its Shining evolution.
Star Sand, a Legend, couldn’t keep up, struggling even against Sovereign-Tier Emperors.
As for the Great Lord Biluo, the Celestial Anchor, a support-type Mechanical Species, it couldn’t suddenly become stronger.
Although it could evolve to Royal-Tier, Lian Xing was still searching for a better evolution path. And she had temporarily given Golden Leaf to Snow Flower.
Golden Leaf, in its current transcendent form, could rival a non-awakened Sovereign-Tier Emperor. As long as the opponent didn’t use Awakening, it could hold its own.
But against Heavenly Maiden…her current lineup had no chance. They wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth. She had to evolve them further during this journey.
To defeat Heavenly Maiden, she had to become stronger!!!
And her only hope was the mysterious Mist Colt…
The Mist Colt’s Awakening was a powerful, one-time burst of speed, four consecutive accelerations, each one faster than the last, even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor couldn’t catch it. If she could evolve the Mist Colt to Monarch-Tier, it could achieve an even greater speed.
And there was one more important thing…
The Mist Colt didn’t have a suitable speed-enhancing combat skill yet!!!
Thinking of this, Lian Xing took out a Black Quality combat skill and replaced the Mist Colt’s Viral Duel.
Instantly, the Mist Colt’s combat skill panel improved…
[Heavenly Punishment (Black)]
[North Wind (Fluorescent)]
[Illustrious Form (Green)]
[Light Spot (Black)]
[Light Spot: Eliminates the user’s physical body and aura, allowing for movement in an intangible state. Universal combat skill, usable by all species.]
This was a pure speed-enhancing combat skill.
And it was, of course, something Lian Xing had acquired from the Three Saints Palace’s treasury.
The top powers in the Moon Soul World were truly poor, not even a single Shining combat skill among them.
It seemed she had been incredibly lucky to find a throwing-type Shining combat skill in the Azure Sky Emperor’s cauldron…
After changing the Mist Colt’s combat skill, Lian Xing gave another Black Quality combat skill to Snow Flower.
This was specifically for Golden Leaf.
One of the reasons the Golden Leaf’s combat power wasn’t high enough was its lack of a powerful combat skill. Ordinary Fluorescent combat skills were ineffective in battles between high-ranking Emperors. Even with unlimited Fire Meteors from the Sun Sonata, it couldn’t defeat an awakened Emperor. So, Lian Xing hoped that with this Black Quality combat skill, Snow Flower could at least reach a level where it could fight against Sovereign-Tier Emperors.
[Nether Severance (Black)]
[Nether Severance: When wielded and swung, significantly increases cutting power and penetration. Each kill refreshes the cooldown and permanently enhances its power and effects.]
This was clearly a combat skill designed for the Fallen path.
The Three Saints Palace had kept it in their treasury, unable to find a suitable pet beast. Now it was hers…
However, just as First Quarter thought the golden-haired girl was done changing combat skills, Lian Xing took out another Black Quality combat skill. Even First Quarter, with its strong heart, couldn’t help but pause.
If it remembered correctly, the Three Saints Palace’s treasury only had three Black Quality combat skills, right!?
Seriously, girl, were you there to choose rewards or to…loot the place…?
Qianqiu said you could choose a reward, not empty the entire treasury!
Have some self-control…
[Heavenly Jade Mirror (Black)]
Lian Xing vaguely remembered that even in her previous life’s Pet Beast Evolution Battle, throwing-type builds had been unpopular.
But even in that niche category, there had been a professional player who had reached the top with a throwing-type main battle pet beast.
And it had been thanks to this Heavenly Jade Mirror!!!
The Heavenly Jade Mirror and Cinnabar were considered the two kings of throwing-type combat skills, maximizing their power.
[Heavenly Jade Mirror: After throwing, severs the space on either side of the projectile’s trajectory. All targets within the reflected area are shattered, and the final target at the impact point receives multiple shattering damage.]
Shattering damage meant the damage caused by spatial distortion, different from piercing or tearing damage. It directly damaged the life crystal, true damage.
When she had discovered the Heavenly Jade Mirror in the Three Saints Palace treasury, Lian Xing’s heart had almost leaped out of her chest.
But she knew…this wasn’t just luck…
This was a gift from Qianqiu, which had foreseen this in its simulation…
So, Lian Xing gratefully accepted it~~~
A few seconds later, Moonlight Rabbit’s combat skills were also upgraded.
The Green Quality Wrist Bone Duel, which she had been using since the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition, her former trump card, was finally retired…
[Waxing and Waning (Shining)]
[Star Plucker (Fluorescent)]
[Twilight (Fluorescent)]
[Ten Intentions Annihilation (Black)]
[Heavenly Jade Mirror (Black)]
Moonlight Rabbit’s current combat skills were now comparable to Calamity Sun’s.
However, although Calamity Sun’s four combat skills were all Black Quality, except for Falling Abyss, the other three required Awakening, which was inconvenient…
After updating Moonlight Rabbit’s combat skills, Lian Xing had it continue practicing the Full Moon bloodline combat skill. Compared to Six Ears, Eclipse, and Moon-Pounding, its mastery of Full Moon was still lacking…
Now that she had been infused with the Eleventh Zodiac’s Shining aura, Star Pole Awakening’s cooldown had decreased. So, the next time she used her Third Stage Awakening, Full Moon had to be perfect…
At this moment, as Lian Xing focused on training, the airship was rapidly approaching Sharp Edge Mountain, leaving the Three Saints Palace’s territory…
Outside Sharp Edge Mountain…
Two vast canyons, millions of kilometers long, stretched side by side, like a path cleaved by a giant sword, a breathtaking sight.
This was the origin of Sharp Edge Mountain’s name.
And it had indeed been carved by a sword.
Back then, after the Star Goddess had severed her contracts with all her pet beasts and left, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge, filled with grief and frustration, had unleashed this world-shaking attack.
At this moment, countless online streamers were gathered outside the canyons, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Shining Six Stars. Only high-ranking members of various powers were invited to the Six-Point Banquet, and livestreaming was forbidden, so these streamers could only gather outside, not daring to enter.
And after days of waiting…
They finally saw the fifth Shining Species.
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!!”
A deafening explosion, a wave of light sending their hats and clothes flying. Then, as they watched in awe, the mist parted, revealing a giant, multicolored dragon, its body covered in shimmering crystals. Compared to other Biological Species Emperors, its size was average. But the brilliant light from the crystals on its body was almost blinding, even Emperor-Tier Beast Tamers had to shield their eyes.
The Radiant Variegated Crystal Dragon, a Monarch-Tier Shining Species, its initial form the Mid-Tier Biological Species, Gem Scale!!!
At this moment, after the Shining Gem Dragon’s grand entrance, after a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.
“Gem Concubine! It’s Gem Concubine! This is the first time I’ve seen her in person! She’s even more beautiful than in the videos!!!”
“Gem Concubine, my main battle pet beast is also a Gem Scale! Can you share your combat skill setup!?”
“Gem Concubine, I heard you were slightly injured after facing Storm. Did you encounter that Fallen Species louse within Storm? Can you tell us about it? What are your chances of winning against it next time!?”
The Radiant Variegated Crystal Dragon, codenamed Gem Concubine.
As the senior member of the Shining Six Stars, she always came to Sharp Edge Mountain to assist the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge during its battle against Storm. Storm, one of the Four Disasters, the king of destruction, its speed far exceeding the other three Fallen Emperors, its lice the most ferocious and infamous.
Especially after the birth of that little Fallen Species, wherever Storm went, it was like hell on earth , everything in its path, whether visible or not, turned to ash.
During the battles between the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge and Storm, Gem Concubine would always fight against that little Fallen Species.
And she always managed to suppress it and escape, further advancing on her Shining path.
Therefore, she was also known as the leader of the Shining Six Stars, the strongest Monarch-Tier Shining Species in this world!!
At this moment, facing the enthusiastic questions from the streamers, Gem Concubine ignored them and entered the mountain range.
However, after a few steps, it stopped and looked down, its expression slightly annoyed.
A purple-haired woman in a white dress and a black hat, a starry clock in her eyes, was looking at it expectantly, holding a microphone.
“Second Sanctuary Guardian, it’s you again…?” the Radiant Variegated Crystal Dragon sighed.
Seeing its exasperated expression, the purple-haired woman chuckled.
“Yes, it’s me, Reverse Time, in charge of the interviews again this year. I’ve already interviewed Ice Emperor and Heavenly Maiden. As the leader of the Shining Six Stars, you can’t escape~~~”
“After all, you know, I love observing you Shining Species~~~”
“Now, please answer my questions~~~ Gem Concubine, what are your thoughts on the newly appeared Shining Species Beast Tamer? In your interview 90 years ago, you said you were only interested in your first master, so you weren’t interested in Heavenly Maiden. Are you interested in this second Shining Species Beast Tamer of the Moon Soul World?”
“And will the Six Stars become the Seven Stars now!?”
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!!”
As Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, finished speaking, the Gem Dragon’s eyes narrowed. In the next second, Reverse Time’s body was sent flying by a powerful shockwave, the surrounding mountains shattering, the reporters and their pet beasts behind them tumbling across the ground.
A few seconds later, as the dust settled…
Looking at the devastated entrance, Reverse Time, clutching her hat and microphone, smiled at the nearby dragon head.
“My, what a terrifying aura. Perhaps in a few tens of thousands of years, even I, an old hag, won’t be a match for you, Gem Concubine~~~”
“Second Sanctuary Guardian, please don’t provoke me. You should know that Frost Flower and I are close…”
“After the Six-Point Banquet, I’ll go to the Three Saints Palace on behalf of the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge and see what this new Shining Species is capable of…” With that, Gem Concubine, suppressing its anger, turned and walked deeper into the mountains.
Meanwhile, watching the Radiant Variegated Crystal Dragon’s multicolored figure disappear, Reverse Time chuckled awkwardly, brushing the dust off her hat.
It seemed Gem Concubine was truly angry…
It hadn’t been this angry even when she had asked it, sixty thousand years ago, how many crystals it would take for it to sell itself…
As Gem Concubine left, Reverse Time quickly restored the damaged terrain, then, after calming the frightened crowd, continued to wait for the final member of the Shining Six Stars.
However, several days passed, and the seventh Shining Species didn’t appear. Instead, the Three Saints Palace’s airship arrived.
But this wasn’t unusual in the Moon Soul World.
That Shining Species had a habit of arriving fashionably late for the Six-Point Banquet, sometimes even missing it completely.
“Whoosh——!!!”
With a burst of steam, the Three Saints Palace’s airship, docked at the entrance, opened its hatch.
Under everyone’s gaze, three figures emerged.
Seeing the silver crescent moon at the front, Reverse Time’s eyes widened slightly.
“Huh? Isn’t that Qianqiu?”
“So Qianqiu foresaw its own defeat and sent First Quarter as a scapegoat…”
“First Quarter’s reputation is much better than Lover or Qianqiu’s. It won’t be targeted as much.”
“And…let me see…is that Snow Flower…?”
“I heard Snow Flower had been missing in the bubble world for many years. So Moonwalker finally retrieved it~~~”
“Should I conduct a special interview with Snow Flower?”
Reverse Time observed the Three Saints Palace group with excitement.
Clearly, she and the aloof Moonwalker had very different personalities.
However, seeing the third figure emerge, Reverse Time’s expression turned to surprise.
Huh? Who’s that…?
Could it be Lover’s newest consort?
Under everyone’s gaze, a golden-haired girl with buns and white stockings stepped off the airship. She wore a white, Three Saints Palace uniform, her beautiful face flawless, her smooth skin like…cream puffs, her appearance like that of Lover’s consort. And most eye-catching were her shimmering, golden, starry eyes, a lewd and alluring sight.
This was Lian Xing’s first public appearance in the new world, and her unique look immediately attracted attention. Heavenly Maiden and Gem Concubine were beautiful and powerful, but they were permanent residents. Over time, their novelty would wear off. But this golden-haired girl, although just a briefly appearing nobody, she was like a limited-time character in a gacha game!!
At least she could attract some fans during the event!
At this moment, under countless cameras and livestreams, the three figures, led by First Quarter, entered Sharp Edge Mountain.
And waiting for them was the purple-haired woman.
Reverse Time, ranked third among the 72 Legends, a top-tier being in the Moon Soul World.
The Second Sanctuary Guardian…!!!
“This little beauty looks unfamiliar… Whose contractor are you?”
“If you’re not one of Lover’s consorts, then even better~~~” Reverse Time said, her voice gentle, as the golden-haired girl approached.
In the next second, under First Quarter’s warning gaze, Lian Xing walked towards the microphone and, with a sweet smile, gave a lewd peace sign to the camera.
“Everyone, I’m Star Concubine. You can also call me by my real name, Lian Xing~~”
“And—”
“I’m a Shining Species holder~~~”
“…”
“…”
As Lian Xing’s words echoed, and she dropped the microphone and walked away, Reverse Time’s eyes widened in shock. And at the entrance of Sharp Edge Mountain, after a few seconds of stunned silence, the crowd erupted.
