Chapter 70: This is the Sorrowful Saintess
A chasm several kilometers wide split the Wind Valley, the massive pit filled with a violent aura, cracks spreading across the earth, the air scorching hot.
No one knew what kind of creature had caused such devastation.
Based on the detected auras, the Saint-rank spirit beasts that had appeared were just the tip of the iceberg.
Both the blazing sun and the purple planetary barrier had far surpassed their understanding.
The Frost Snow Woman’s appearance seemed to have drawn out some incredibly powerful Saint-ranks.
In the end, who had won the Frost Snow Woman’s allegiance?
No one.
The Frost Snow Woman, snowflakes swirling around her, left the Wind Valley under everyone’s watchful eyes, continuing her search for her elusive clan.
Amidst the shock and awe, no one noticed that she was merely a temporary form constructed from energy, destined to dissipate once her spirit energy was depleted.
Her life core, the true essence of an elemental spirit beast, had been hidden away in a secure location…
So, had the Frost Snow Woman actually won this chaotic battle?
Meanwhile, at the devastated center of the Saint-rank battlefield within the Wind Valley…
A blue-haired girl in a Sea Concubine Palace uniform, six teardrop-shaped beauty marks on her face, slowly rose from the ground.
Gong Lianyue was utterly bewildered. The terrifying Saint-rank enemy, who had driven her to despair, had vanished while she was unconscious, but her frost-covered life core remained in Gong Lianyue’s possession.
Didn’t this mean she could form a contract with the Frost Snow Woman at any time?!
This kind of absurd, nonsensical encounter, usually only found in wish-fulfillment novels, had actually happened to her?
As expected, reality was even more ridiculous than fiction.
Suddenly remembering that she couldn’t summon the Cloud Dream Flower or the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion, Gong Lianyue’s heart tightened, and she quickly checked her soul cores.
[Mid-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Water Element Commander]
[Bloodline Talent: None]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Ice Binding Contract – O]
[High-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower] Transformation Record (Seven-Star Titan Moonquake Fox, Autumn Water Hundred Flower Fox Princess, Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, Weaver of the Sun)
[Bloodline Talent: Cultivation Amplification]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Deep Sea – Possessing the Divine – O]
[High-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Iron Jade Ice Scorpion]
[Bloodline Talent: Five-Leaf Clover]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Jade Shatter – OO]
Seeing her spirit beast list intact, Gong Lianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Frost Snow Woman’s ice array had only been temporary, seemingly related to her talent, capable of sealing non-elemental spirit beasts.
Although it was a forced seal, it wasn’t absolute. At the last moment, she had felt the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion almost breaking free, but it had been too late.
Regardless, she had survived, and she had obtained the Frost Snow Woman’s life core. A perfect outcome.
Plink!
As she withdrew her focus from her soul cores, Gong Lianyue’s eyes widened, catching sight of some strange text. It was so shocking, one of her eyes almost popped out.
A teardrop fell from her eye, landing on the ground with a soft plink.
Gong Lianyue quickly picked it up, placed it back in her eye socket, and then, in disbelief, focused her consciousness on her soul cores again.
The first line of text stunned her. What the…?
[Mid-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Water Element Commander]
How had her Water Element become a Water Element Commander?
After standing there dumbfounded for almost a minute, Gong Lianyue finally understood.
The Water Element had consumed the Ice Soul Stone with no effect. It seemed its aptitude was so poor that even an ice-type treasure couldn’t save it.
Then, under the immense pressure from the Saint-rank Frost Snow Woman, it had finally absorbed the Ice Soul Stone’s energy, transforming and evolving into a mid-rank Water Element Commander!!!
“…”
“…”
Understanding the truth, Gong Lianyue wasn’t particularly excited.
A mid-rank Water Element Commander…?
In reality, no matter what the Water Element evolved into, whether a high-rank Crystal King or a Calamity Sea Spirit, outsiders would simply say the Variant Water Emperor was in a playful mood today.
She would put the Water Element Commander aside for now. She had the Frost Snow Woman’s life core. Once she reached the Dead Sea Stage, she could form a contract.
“Why did the Frost Snow Woman leave her core with me?”
The blue-haired girl muttered softly, scanning her surroundings, then noticed something strange about her vision.
In her haste to put her eye back in, she had accidentally placed it backwards. Her vision was now split, one side normal, the other reversed, like a mirror image.
Click—
Forcing her eye to rotate back with a slight tug and a few visible blood vessels, her vision returned to normal.
After searching the surrounding ruins, Gong Lianyue suddenly detected a faint aura of life.
Was that…?
In the distance, a beautiful, black-haired girl in a Gray Citadel uniform lay on the ground, her hair disheveled, her appearance slightly disheveled.
No, not disheveled… The black-haired girl’s chest was still rising and falling. She was still alive.
“Oh!”
Gong Lianyue’s heart tightened. Just as she was about to flee, hurried footsteps approached.
A dozen Ice Shield Palace Spirit Masters, along with some lone Spirit Masters from other factions, only dared to enter the area after the Saint-rank auras had completely dissipated.
Seeing them arrive, Gong Lianyue relaxed slightly. Even if the Swallow God awakened, she wouldn’t have to be afraid now. There was safety in numbers.
However, when they were still more than a hundred meters away, they stopped, staring at the scene before them in shock.
The iconic teardrop eyes and beauty marks, the beautiful, flowing water-blue hair.
A cold and aloof figure, an ethereal presence that kept them from approaching.
And just a short distance from the blue-haired girl lay the beautiful, unconscious figure of the black-haired girl, the Swallow God of Gray Citadel, a face etched in the memories of every Sea Region Spirit Master.
Her hair disheveled, her posture defeated, lying amidst the ruins.
The contrast between the two girls’ composure and dishevelment spoke volumes. The Swallow God had been defeated, without a doubt.
The atmosphere turned eerily silent, a heavy, oppressive feeling filling the air.
This… was Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace…
