Chapter 201: Battle of Legends
[Question: The Water Element’s true name?]
[Answer: My spirit beast.]
[…]
[…]
[Confirmed. Reward: 100 million exchange points.]
[Exchange: Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake.]
Frozen in time, Gong Lianyue’s consciousness drifted through what felt like an eternity, a single moment stretching into a lifetime.
The icy grip on her mind loosened, a warmth spreading through her, a gentle embrace, as if someone was holding her close.
Her frozen spirit energy began to flow again, color returning to the world.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The next second, a powerful aura erupted, shattering the ice.
A woman with long black hair, her features exquisitely beautiful, sat cross-legged in the air.
Her eyes were closed, her expression serene, a terrifying aura, like a dark ocean, flowing around her.
Beneath her short robe, her long, smooth, white legs, devoid of muscle, were… distractingly alluring.
The Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake, a legendary-rank spirit beast!
A biological, combat-type spirit beast, ruler of the Waterfall Lake Wonderland, the Martial Empress, her legendary feats countless.
It was said that no one had ever seen the Jade Concubine open its eyes, a being considered the closest to a titled legendary among all spirit beasts.
And yet, at this moment, the Jade Concubine opened her eyes slightly, glancing down at the blue-haired girl before quickly closing them again.
“…”
“…”
Well, rumors were just rumors.
Meanwhile, the six teardrops on the blue-haired girl’s face shimmered, her emotions unreadable.
After the Water Element’s rampage in the Wind Realm, the Sorrowful Saintess had awakened another legendary being!
Witnessing this, the spectators on the Water Heart Stage were speechless, their gazes fixed on the scene, unable to look away.
The situation, once utterly hopeless, had turned around…
Whether the Nether Empress of the Pool of Hidden Secrets or the ordinary Spirit Masters watching, they would never forget this moment.
Within a day, not just the Wind Realm and the Cangsheng Palace near the Sea Region, but even the distant Endless Swamp, hundreds of realms even, would know the name of the Sorrowful Saintess.
Gong Lianyue, a true legend!
Within the White Velvet Snow Forest secret realm, the Snow Monarch and the Jade Concubine faced each other.
The Jade Concubine’s eyes were closed, and the Snow Monarch’s face was hidden behind her veil. It was unclear what they were looking at.
The Snow Monarch, an elemental, all-purpose type.
The Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake, a biological, combat type.
Boom!!!
The next second, their terrifying auras clashed, a destructive force threatening to annihilate everything within the secret realm.
Black and white energies intertwined, dividing the world into two, like heaven and hell.
Icy blizzards, dark tides.
No one had ever witnessed a battle between legendary beings and lived to tell the tale. And this battle… was being broadcast live throughout the Sea Region, millions of Spirit Masters watching, a scene that would be recorded in history.
Although their powers were suppressed to the Dead Sea Stage, this clash still defied their understanding of what a “living being” could be.
This… was beyond the realm of mortals…
Clang!
Suddenly, time stopped.
Without warning, the spirit energy in the air solidified, the world frozen, covered in frost.
Both the Jade Concubine and Gong Lianyue behind it ceased all movement, their breathing, their heartbeats, all signs of life extinguished, as if frozen in time.
Ice-cold snowflakes fell, a beautiful, snowy funeral.
A single, long, white hair drifted down from the Snow Monarch as it began to walk forward, its pace slow and steady, like a village woman going to market.
As the Snow Monarch entered the dark, watery domain, the Jade Concubine didn’t react, the black water spirit energy around it frozen solid.
No, time itself within the secret realm had been stopped…
The Snow Monarch, as if existing in a separate dimension, its body moving freely, its spirit energy flowing unimpeded, walked forward.
With each step, ice flowers bloomed beneath its delicate, white feet, lifting it slightly above the ground.
A few seconds later, the Snow Monarch reached the Jade Concubine.
The black-haired woman, a fellow legendary being, offered no resistance, as helpless as an infant.
Crack—
A chilling aura condensed, forming a sharp ice spike that pierced the Jade Concubine’s chest.
Even titled, ice-type legendary beings occasionally used basic attacks like this, but the density of this ice spike was beyond human comprehension, far denser and sharper than the ice that had trapped Gong Lianyue, perfect for piercing through a Saint-rank’s defenses.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A deafening explosion, the earth shattering, spirit energy dissipating.
A white figure, like a meteor, was sent flying, trailing flames, crashing into the edge of the secret realm hundreds of kilometers away, leveling a mountain.
The Snow Monarch… had been sent flying…
As the dust settled, the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake was revealed, unharmed, its long black hair whipping wildly behind it.
A dark, swirling water spirit energy erupted, a faint image of the character [Waterfall] appearing behind it.
The black-haired woman, still sitting cross-legged, shifted slightly, her delicate fingers clenching into fists.
Her expression calm, her eyes still closed, she spoke, her voice slightly strained,
“Terrifying. A single strand of hair, freezing the world. Is this the legendary ‘one hair falls, one realm is destroyed’?”
In that instant, the Jade Concubine had indeed been completely powerless.
But the moment its skin was touched, its consciousness had snapped back.
And its speed… was beyond measurement, even by the smallest unit of time in the spirit world…
The battle of legends had begun!!!
Chapter 202: The End of a Legend
The spectators on the Water Heart Stage couldn’t comprehend what they had just witnessed. Like a skipped frame in a video, the Snow Monarch had been sent flying.
And the Jade Concubine was enveloped in a swirling cloud of water vapor, like a miniature mushroom cloud.
Since the live broadcast was powered by spirit energy, it had also been momentarily frozen by the Snow Monarch, so no one had seen the actual exchange.
Clang!
In the blink of an eye, the Snow Monarch returned to its original position, as if teleporting.
Its wedding dress billowing, its long hair like snow, a picturesque figure.
Although her face was hidden behind her veil, she was undoubtedly glaring at the black-haired woman, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Jade Concubine, its eyes still closed, its beautiful face radiating an almost regal aura, like an ancient empress.
The pure white snow and the dark water, their auras clashing once more, seemingly ready for another round.
Gong Lianyue simply stood there, dazed, unable to participate, not even understanding what had just happened.
Whoosh—
The swirling snowflakes began to converge, flowing like an icy river around the Snow Monarch.
With graceful movements, it shaped the flowing ice, forming a massive snowflake pattern in the sky.
Each intricate detail of the snowflake was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a chilling mist, like shimmering ice feathers, emanating from its base.
Enveloped by the snowflake’s aura, Gong Lianyue’s pupils constricted, a chilling premonition of death washing over her.
Although, wearing the black crown, she couldn’t sense the external auras, she knew that without the Jade Concubine’s protection, she would have been instantly killed.
This was a legendary-rank battle technique, a devastating attack only used against those of the same level.
At the same time, the Jade Concubine’s body trembled, each movement accompanied by a low hum.
Its delicate fingers twitched almost imperceptibly, a flurry of black fists, invisible to the naked eye, clashing with the snowflake’s aura.
Countless punches, yet its posture remained unchanged, still sitting cross-legged, its eyes still closed.
Although it wasn’t using a named battle technique, this must be the self-created Waterfall Lake Immortal Fist, worth 1 million exchange points.
Those below the Nether Traverse Stage watched in awe, while the Sun and Moon Realm experts observed with serious expressions.
This was the first time they had witnessed a battle between legendary beings. Perhaps they could finally understand why humans couldn’t compete.
Boom!!!
A few seconds later, a shockwave erupted.
The Snow Monarch was thrown back by a powerful gust of wind, her veil almost lifted, revealing a glimpse of her face, a small tear appearing in the delicate fabric.
The Jade Concubine’s beautiful face remained calm, though a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, a minor injury.
Her veil still down, its eyes still closed, the two legendary beings faced each other in this strange standoff.
Then, their auras faded, the terrifying spirit energy that had filled the secret realm subsiding.
Eh? Was it over…?
Who won?
Gong Lianyue was confused, a sentiment shared by the spectators outside, who desperately wanted to know the outcome.
Silence filled the arena for several minutes, the scene frozen. If it weren’t for the Sorrowful Saintess inside the secret realm, occasionally fidgeting, blinking, and looking around, they would have thought time itself had been frozen by the Snow Monarch.
Were the two legendary spirit beasts communicating in some way they couldn’t comprehend?
After a while, the Jade Concubine suddenly sighed.
Whoosh—
A massive black vortex of water appeared behind it, pulling it inwards, as if preparing to retreat.
Ah, this… Gong Lianyue’s heart sank. Had even the Jade Concubine been defeated, forced to concede?
Although their auras and their earlier clash had seemed evenly matched, this was within the confines of the Dead Sea Stage. The Snow Monarch, a titled legendary being, surely had more powerful techniques it hadn’t used yet.
Her heart heavy, she watched as the Jade Concubine vanished, its legendary aura fading.
She was alone again…
As despair filled Gong Lianyue, the Snow Monarch, clad in her white wedding dress, descended from the sky, slowly approaching, the chilling aura intensifying, the two about to meet face to face.
A swirling blizzard, like a frozen hell, painted the world white.
At this moment, not only Gong Lianyue, but all the Spirit Masters outside, held their breath, their gazes fixed on the crystal screen.
The Snow Monarch reached the blue-haired girl, stopping less than half a meter away. As its white sleeve lifted, Gong Lianyue froze, her mind and body turning to ice, unable to move.
A terrifying chill seeped into her skin, flowing through her blood, her bones, her very core, a single thought from this being enough to annihilate her.
“So cold… I can’t…”
“I’m dying…”
Just as despair consumed the blue-haired girl, a pale, slender hand emerged from the Snow Monarch’s sleeve and gently lifted her arm.
The next second, Gong Lianyue’s mind froze, time seeming to stop.
The outside world also fell silent, everyone stunned, their hearts pounding.
The scene displayed on the spirit energy crystal, a breathtakingly beautiful image, would be forever etched in the history of the Sea Region, a legend for the ages.
Within the White Velvet Snow Forest secret realm, amidst the falling snow…
The Snow Monarch gently placed a pure white ring, carved with an ice flower pattern, on the blue-haired girl’s ring finger…
