Chapter 59: Possessing the Divine
Ferocious grace, blazing like fire.
Everything in sight was engulfed and consumed by scorching flames, the sky turning a bloody crimson.
With this miniature sun as the epicenter, waves of intense heat radiated outwards, its terrifying aura filling the entire Wind Valley.
Myths were just stories, not to be taken as truth, but a connection to a mythical spirit beast indicated something extraordinary.
A Saint-rank spirit beast—the Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, Weaver of the Sun.
The ultimate being, standing at the pinnacle of both the fox and fire lineages. Just standing before it, one felt their very soul being incinerated.
“This is the Sorrowful Saintess’s hidden Saint-rank spirit beast!!!”
A Water Saintess, a fire spirit beast. This bizarre incongruity struck He Daoqi as utterly absurd.
Facing the overwhelming inferno, the black ink swirling around the black-haired girl began to dissipate, her hand trembling as she gripped the brush.
The Swallow God’s technique was ready, but she couldn’t bring herself to unleash it.
Both Saint-rank, yet she couldn’t even draw her sword!
The terrifying Flame Fox Sovereign loomed before her. He Daoqi’s arm trembled. She couldn’t bring herself to provoke this Dawn and Dusk Stage Bloodbath Fox.
The Frost Snow Woman was also frozen, her aura like a firefly compared to the blazing moon.
“Is this… really still a Saint-rank…?”
Blood trickled from the black-haired girl’s bitten lip, her face pale. If the Swallow God were wild, it would have attacked without hesitation.
It was her fault, a weak and powerless human, scared witless by the mere aura, holding the Swallow God back.
The Swallow God… it would definitely attack!
Whimper—
Suddenly, a trembling whimper, a sword’s cry.
Feeling the brush vibrate violently in her hand, He Daoqi looked down in disbelief.
“I see. You want to run too?”
Spirit beasts sensed fear more instinctively than humans. The Swallow God was even more terrified than she was, its spirit shaken.
It seemed to have just awakened from a long slumber, its power not yet fully restored.
If they ran now, they still had a chance!
But…
If they fled now, not only would the Gray Citadel be disgraced, but she and the Swallow God would become the laughingstock of both realms, mocked by millions of Spirit Masters.
So, she couldn’t run.
Just one strike. She had to at least strike at that terrifying Flame Fox once!
To prove her dignity and resolve, to redeem the Swallow God’s honor, and then she could flee without regrets!
Just as the black-haired girl’s arm trembled, about to unleash the attack, a ferocious gaze locked onto her.
The Bloodbath Fox Sovereign’s blood-red eyes looked down upon her from above.
Boom!!!
He Daoqi felt every cell in her body explode, a chill running down her spine, her scalp tingling as she lost consciousness.
Despite the scorching heat, her mind froze, unable to even move a finger.
She was going to die, she was doomed…
The next second, with a whoosh, a black streak shot into the sky.
Retreating, fleeing.
The black-haired girl’s figure, carried by two wings of ink drawn by the Swallow God, soared uncontrollably into the air.
The black wings sprouted from her back, flapping like a jet-powered black comet, streaking across the sky.
“Two down…”
Enveloped by the warm sun held in the Bloodbath Fox Sovereign’s tail, Gong Lianyue exhaled deeply.
Having averted the Swallow God’s deadly attack, she could finally relax and observe her surroundings.
From within the fireball, she could clearly see the outside world. The forest within the Weaver of the Sun’s range had been reduced to charcoal, the howling hurricane transformed into scorching hot air.
Wait, what was going on? Was this an illusion too?
“No, this is different from the previous two Saint-rank transformations. This time, it’s affecting the real world?!”
Realizing this, Gong Lianyue quickly checked the spirit beast information within her soul core.
As expected, there was a change in the Cloud Dream Flower’s battle technique list.
[High-rank Illumination Stage: Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower]
[Bloodline Talent: Cultivation Amplification]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Deep Sea – Possessing the Divine – O]
“Possessing the Divine…?”
Gong Lianyue stared blankly. Was this a result of facing near-certain death, the stimulation from the Tyrant Blood Pill, or a combination of both?
It had caused the Cloud Dream Flower to break through its bloodline limitations and awaken a hidden battle technique.
[Possessing the Divine: Can borrow the aura of a transformed being. Limited to aura only. Battle techniques and physical body are not replicated.]
Borrow the aura?
Reading the description of Possessing the Divine, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Gong Lianyue’s forehead.
This meant that although it was still fragile, it wasn’t tofu anymore. It had evolved into a gemstone…
It wasn’t just a convincing imitation anymore. A real Bloodbath Fox Sovereign was standing in the Wind Valley, radiating its aura.
Unlike the Fallen Whale Island incident, this time, with the Frost Snow Woman entering the Wind Valley, how many factions and powerful figures were watching?
And then, the Sorrowful Saintess suddenly unleashed a fire-type Saint-rank spirit beast, a top-tier overlord no less. What a crazy development!!!
Wouldn’t this lead to the terrifying misunderstanding that the Sorrowful Saintess’s Saint-rank spirit beast was the Bloodbath Fox Sovereign?
The Tyrant Blood Pill’s effect was about to wear off. Although worried about the consequences, Gong Lianyue still directed the little fox to unleash its full aura upon the Frost Snow Woman.
Pushed back by the overwhelming inferno, the Snow Woman remained indifferent, her eyes fixed on the massive Bloodbath Fox Sovereign with an inexplicable anger.
One second.
Two seconds.
Ten seconds.
Half a minute.
Gong Lianyue was drenched in sweat, the life force provided by the Life Fruits almost depleted. The little fox was about to revert to its original form.
This Frost Snow Woman was stubborn, neither fighting nor leaving. This stalemate couldn’t continue.
Just as she was about to despair, the massive Snow Woman finally flicked her sleeve and retreated, seemingly unwilling.
“Phew~~~”
Seeing the Snow Woman’s receding figure, Gong Lianyue breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing weakly to the ground, her face pale.
However, before she could revel in her escape, a cold female voice echoed in her ear.
[I will return to save you.]
“？？？？？？？？？？”
