Chapter 206: Fallen Golden Leaf!!!
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”
Inside Drought, one of the Four Great Calamities, a Fallen Species, blizzards and flames clashed across its massive body.
Billions of parasites were incinerated in their wake.
It was a breathtaking, dreamlike song of ice and fire.
The numerous Emperors could only see blurry red and white streaks flashing before their eyes before losing consciousness.
If this were the Royal-Tier Snow Flower, she would have been instantly killed.
However, she had now evolved into the Monarch-Tier Ice Attendant Snow Youluo!!!
And Golden Leaf’s Black combat skill, Nether Severance, was growing increasingly powerful.
Even against a Monarch-Tier Fallen Species, she could put up a fight!
“…”
“…”
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”
Snow Flower’s pale, beautiful body was sent flying as she swung her flaming, icy dragon bone tail, clashing with the Fallen phoenix.
Black energy that tore through space and fiery phoenix claws intertwined, deafening explosions ripping through the air.
The surrounding parasites watched in despair.
These two were insane! They didn’t even care if their auras alerted Drought!
Did they want Drought to wake up and obliterate all the parasites on its body?
“Whoosh—”
Knocked back again, the snow woman’s white feet carved a deep furrow in Drought’s shell as she spun around, her tail whipping at the pursuing Fallen Species.
Golden Leaf’s full-force swing, like a speeding truck, created sparks as it tore through the air.
“BOOM!!!”
A deafening crash echoed.
The phoenix woman, unable to stop in time, was sent flying by Golden Leaf’s tail, her small body tumbling through the air as she released bursts of flame to stop her retreat.
Suddenly, massive ice coffins materialized along the Fallen Species’ path like dominoes.
“Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash—”
Unable to dodge, she crashed through them, melting or shattering them with her body.
After smashing through millions of ice coffins, the phoenix woman finally stopped, staggering to her feet, her battered body nearly frozen by the ice.
Even the flames surrounding her flickered, threatening to extinguish.
“Hooo~~~”
The next second, a scorching wave of air melted the ice on her body.
Bathed in crimson flames, like a fiery monarch, she stepped out of the icy zone, walking towards Snow Flower with a cold expression.
She accelerated, her body lowering into a low-flying dive, her aura trailing behind her like a fiery phoenix tail.
Everything behind her was vaporized by the flames, turning the world into a scorching inferno.
Then, without warning, the Fallen Species vanished from Snow Flower’s sight.
“…”
“…”
The next second, as Snow Flower reacted, she was engulfed by the fiery sphere.
A searing pain coursed through her body.
“BOOM!!!”
A terrifying white explosion ripped through the air, incinerating everything within billions of miles, engulfing Snow Flower in flames and obliterating a large section of Drought’s body.
Seconds later, the flames dissipated.
Not only was Drought’s black shell scorched, but Snow Flower’s aura had also vanished, all her Pet Essence incinerated.
Even Golden Leaf, hundreds of miles long, was reduced to a bare skeleton, its unique traits and appearance gone.
The Fallen phoenix’s flames subsided.
She looked at the charred black figure before her, her eyes filled with disappointment.
“Is this the extent of her lineup this time!?”
“How boring…”
The phoenix woman turned to leave.
As that woman’s former second main Pet Beast, how could she not recognize Snow Flower as her current Married Pet Beast?
Was this level of strength worthy of being a Married Pet Beast?
It seemed she, already protected by an Ancient Species, had become complacent…
However…
Just as the Fallen phoenix took a few steps—
“BOOM!!!”
She was slammed into Drought’s melting body by Golden Leaf, falling from the sky.
The Fallen Species froze.
In her aura perception, behind her, Snow Flower’s burns were fading, her perfect, snowy form returning.
Whether Pet Essence depletion or literal death, for Snow Flower, with her Seven Snow Souls ability—
The battle had just begun!
***
Ten minutes later, having died repeatedly, Snow Flower was down to four Snow Souls.
With four Snow Souls, her counterattack power increased more than tenfold.
She relentlessly pummeled the Fallen phoenix, who could barely fight back.
However, with a Fallen Species’ aura strength, as long as its Life Crystal wasn’t completely crushed, it could regenerate, incredibly resilient.
And since Snow Flower hadn’t yet unleashed Golden Leaf’s Nether Severance, her own attacks couldn’t inflict significant damage, resulting in several deaths even in her four-Snow Soul state.
Even with powerful counterattacks, Golden Leaf several times wanted to activate Nether Severance on its own, but Snow Flower remained unmoved.
Yes, Snow Flower was replicating the Shining Moonlight Rabbit’s battle against the Fallen Species!
Among her traits was an ultimate ability she had yet to use.
[The fewer Snow Souls remaining, the greater the counterattack power and physical defense.]
[With one Snow Soul remaining, Snow Flower enters One Life state.]
[One Life state activates infinite counterattack mode, allowing unlimited attacks without needing to block.]
Golden Leaf’s Nether Severance, having absorbed power from Heartless Purgatory Life, was already incredibly strong.
Even in Snow Flower’s seven-Snow Soul state, it was devastating.
They couldn’t imagine its power with just one Snow Soul.
Not to mention…
Infinite Nether Severance…
Snow Flower intended to use this as her finishing move!
Therefore, she couldn’t let the Fallen phoenix see it, couldn’t let it adapt!
Thirty minutes later, three Snow Souls remained.
Two hours later, two Snow Souls.
Five hours later, Snow Flower finally entered her One Snow Soul state.
And it was One Snow Soul with Double Awakening active!
The snow woman clasped her hands together, snowflakes swirling around her.
“—Ice Prison—”
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”
The next second, countless ice and snow kingdoms descended, engulfing both the Fallen phoenix and Snow Flower herself.
Ice shattered, snow danced.
Several parasites observing from afar were instantly frozen and shattered.
Massive ice walls, hundreds of millions of miles long, formed around Snow Flower, not as elemental ice, but solid, frozen water!
Even Golden Leaf’s body was covered in icy armor, its form transforming into a white, icy dragon tail swaying behind the snow woman.
Seeing this icy spectacle, the phoenix woman smiled.
[Transcendent Transformation]
“Whoosh—”
Her humanoid form disintegrated, replaced by a massive, fiery phoenix, its size exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers!
Though smaller than the Four Great Calamities, it towered over Snow Flower’s ice fortress like a fifty-meter-tall giant, a single swipe of its claw shattering half of the fortress.
“BOOM!!!!!”
Under everyone’s gaze, the fiery phoenix collided with the ice kingdom.
A deafening explosion of ice and fire erupted, like a detonating star, its shockwaves rippling across Drought’s body.
The moment the ice prison shattered, Snow Flower dodged with a twist of her body and a flick of her tail.
But then… she froze.
A white, fiery pattern covered the phoenix’s body!
Wait…
This was…
A Shining combat skill!?
How could a Fallen Species possess a Shining combat skill!?
And judging by the combat skill’s solidified form, it was clearly highly developed, having been honed through countless battles!
With just Golden Leaf’s Black combat skill, defeating this opponent was a pipe dream.
Regardless…
She had to fight!
Snow Flower focused all her Pet Essence into her icy dragon tail.
“Infinite Nether Severance!!!”
“Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—”
Countless black slashes ripped through the space between Snow Flower and the phoenix, relentlessly attacking the phoenix and everything around it.
But the phoenix, adorned with a crown of feathers and wreathed in flames and a white feather coat, continued to advance towards Snow Flower.
Snow Flower’s heart sank.
Was this Fallen Species’ Shining combat skill even stronger than the Shining Rabbit’s Infinite Phases?
Even with her One Snow Soul amplified counterattack, Nether Severance could only slightly stagger the phoenix!
And at this critical moment…
Golden Leaf’s attack power weakened.
Its attacks became sluggish, its aura fading, as if it were about to fall asleep.
Just as Snow Flower was about to warn it, Golden Leaf’s Nether Severance suddenly intensified, almost stopping the Fallen phoenix’s advance.
The next second, it weakened again…
Then, it intensified again…
After several repetitions, Snow Flower felt exhausted by Golden Leaf’s fluctuating aura.
She tried to contact it, but received no response.
What was going on?
It was normal for Pet Beasts to tire or get excited during battle, but Snow Flower had never seen one so inconsistent.
Unlike Snow Flower’s confusion, the Fallen phoenix’s brow furrowed.
“Wait, could it be…”
“Did this one defeat a Fallen Species before?”
“Did it… absorb its essence?”
“Tsk, this is troublesome—”
“…”
“…”
After defeating the Fallen Species, Lian Xing had overlooked a basic principle.
The Second Talent theory.
Ancient and Shining Species left behind Life Crystals upon death, which could be consumed by other Pet Beasts.
What about Fallen Species’ crystals?
Heartless Purgatory Life’s Life Crystal had been shattered, impossible to retrieve intact.
After all, a Fallen Species was only declared defeated after its Life Crystal was completely destroyed.
Lian Xing had naturally assumed the same.
But if that were the case…
Wouldn’t a Fallen Species’ traits and talents be lost forever!?
No. A Fallen Species’ traits and talents could be inherited. Its remnants would automatically flow into the victor, the most transcendent Pet Beast, becoming part of its Fallen Factor!!
“Whoosh—!!!!!”
The next second, as Snow Flower and the phoenix clashed, their expressions froze simultaneously.
What the…?
Black, crystalline snowflakes fell within Snow Flower’s ice world, the pure white landscape fading, replaced by an endless darkness, as if they had entered a different world.
Even the snow woman’s pristine form was corrupted.
Two black and red horns sprouted from her head.
Snow Flower finally understood.
She turned her head, her breath catching in her throat.
The icy dragon tail connected to her spine was no longer white, but covered in black, metallic fangs, crimson ice crystals frozen between them.
And then, the dark red dragon tail began to grow rapidly, expanding from hundreds of kilometers to tens of thousands, rivaling even the Fallen phoenix!
But strangely, despite its increasing size, the tail’s aura weakened, then gradually intensified again.
Snow Flower’s eyes widened.
She finally understood why Golden Leaf’s aura had been fluctuating!
A simple question.
What realm was Golden Leaf currently?
…
…
…
Three seconds to answer.
Even Snow Flower and Lian Xing often mistook Golden Leaf for an Emperor.
However, no matter how powerful it seemed…
Whenever Lian Xing checked its panel, she saw a clear:
[High-Tier]
Transcendent evolution didn’t change a Pet Beast’s rank.
No matter how many times it transcended, it remained at its initial rank.
So, imagine…
Assuming Fallen Species had the same combat power as Ancient and Shining Species.
Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, upon awakening, as a Royal-Tier, could barely defeat an ordinary Emperor.
What could a High-Tier Shining Species defeat?
Nothing!
The same applied to Fallen Species.
A High-Tier Fallen Species was nothing, probably weaker than even a Monarch-Tier Pet Beast…
Snow Flower finally understood why Golden Leaf’s aura had fluctuated.
Its five transcendent evolutions had vanished!
Golden Leaf was evolving again.
Its transcendent evolution path had been distorted.
It could now evolve towards Commander-Tier.
This was…
Fallen Transformation!
“…”
“…”
“BOOM!!!!!”
The next second, a black aura erupted from Golden Leaf, expanding for millions of miles, its size increasing to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, dwarfing even the Fallen phoenix.
Bigger, weaker, weaker, bigger.
Even after its Fallen evolution, Golden Leaf was still weak, only its aura intimidating.
However, the Fallen phoenix stopped abruptly.
Before leaving, she glanced meaningfully at the white snow woman with black horns.
How envious…
Even she hadn’t killed a Fallen Species.
“Death Sentence!!!” the phoenix roared.
“Whoosh—”
As Snow Flower watched in surprise, the Fallen phoenix’s head was severed by a blade appearing from nowhere.
Then, her body blurred, vanishing from Snow Flower’s sight.
She… escaped!?
What was going on?
Snow Flower was completely bewildered.
Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to defeat them, now that Golden Leaf had undergone Fallen evolution?
A High-Tier Fallen Species was incredibly weak…
Seconds later, Snow Flower finally understood.
The mysterious path of Fallen, unknown to most, was now revealed before her.
“BOOM!!!!!”
A terrifying pressure erupted from Golden Leaf, crushing several nearby parasites.
Not only its aura, but its destructive desire also intensified, radiating a chilling, despair-inducing presence.
So that was it…
No wonder there were no Fallen Species below Monarch-Tier!
All Fallen Species had destroyed countless lives, their suppressed levels and realms accumulating until their Life Crystals swelled from the constant pressure.
Then, after Fallen Transformation, it all exploded outwards!
A level jump!
Could a High-Tier defeat a Fallen Species?
Could a High-Tier kill countless Emperors?
Of course not.
Therefore, Golden Leaf instantly shattered its High-Tier limitations!!!
Then, it bypassed Commander-Tier and Royal-Tier entirely, its explosive experience points shattering all bottlenecks.
And then—
Just as Snow Flower thought the evolution was over…
Golden Leaf’s level increased slightly.
This slight increase was the legacy of Heartless Purgatory Life, the unprecedented death of a Fallen Species.
“…”
“…”
“BOOM!!!!!”
Seconds later, a massive, black dragon tail, millions of kilometers long, like a galaxy, slammed onto Drought’s back.
A deafening roar echoed, and the Pet Essence and space above Cold Moon Palace froze.
Then, with another roar, the sky above Cold Moon Palace was torn apart by a terrifying black snow explosion, countless beings sent flying, towns and nations obliterated.
And under the golden-haired girl’s disbelieving gaze…
Drought, one of the Four Great Calamities…
Fell…
And on Lian Xing’s Pet Beast panel, Golden Leaf’s information had completely changed.
[Emperor-Tier]
[—Fallen Species—]
[Nether Leaf Dark King’s Court!!!]
