Chapter 203: Shining Rabbit, Monarch Evolution!!! p2

All the Beast Tamers began strategizing.

Following White Abode’s instructions, Heavenly Maiden separated White Abode and her Shining Species.

White Abode was placed in the Defense slot.

Her Shining fox would fight alone in the final Duel, as the trump card.

Silver Dragon placed Huang Li in Attack, North Wind Marquis in Mobility, Monarch-Tier Wind Caller in Support, and Silver Wing Dimension in Defense, completely avoiding the Duel category.

After all, this double-point category would be a bloodbath; competing for points there was too risky…

Thunder Fly and Tear Heavenly Maiden also placed their Pet Beasts.

Rain Water in Support.

Curfew also in Support.

Ephemeral, undoubtedly, in Mobility.

And the Yellow Springs Beckon entered the Duel category.

Tears Maiden, was dissatisfied with the experts of the new world and sought a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Maiden and the others.

She would make a grand entrance onto the new world’s stage with her level one hundred Ancient Species!

Meanwhile, Jade Maiden forfeited without even participating.

Damn it! Lover’s shared Pet Beast ability was banned!

The most disheartened was Lover’s First in Line, the Grand Concubine, her youthful beauty fading.

This battle mode completely nullified her strength.

Screw this, I’m out…

To avoid humiliation, the Grand Concubine didn’t even bother checking the rules, simply sitting down in a corner, hugging her knees in silence.

After half an hour, those who hadn’t confirmed their participation were automatically disqualified.

Then, under everyone’s watchful gaze, the first category, [Attack], began!

“BOOM!!!”

Just a second later, the simulation ended.

A massive ranking list appeared.

[Attack Test Rankings]

[1. Anonymous]

[2. Tian Xueyi]

[3. Anonymous]

[4. Moonwalker’s Dog]

[5. Anonymous]

[6. …]

[58. Lian Xing’s Wife]

A thousand names appeared on the list.

But only a thousand. Millions of others didn’t make the list, receiving only a system notification of their ranking.

The entire space froze.

Seeing that she hadn’t even made the top 50, Huang Li was shocked.

She was one of the seventy-two Legends, a near Myriad-Level Emperor! How could she not even be in the top 50? These Moon Soul World Beast Tamers were ridiculously strong!

Tears Maiden merely twitched slightly, not saying a word after seeing her ranking.

However, most people were staring at Heavenly Maiden.

Heavenly Maiden, only second?

This meant she hadn’t used her main force…?

Then who was first?

Many looked at the Ancient Species holder, Wu Qie, her expression unreadable.

Wu Qie’s mind was in turmoil.

She was the third anonymous participant. The fourth was clearly Cloud Princess. So who was the first, the one who had surpassed Heavenly Maiden?

Though known for her Shining Species and White Abode, Heavenly Maiden’s other Pet Beasts were also incredibly strong, even possessing a Myriad-Level Emperor. How could she lose first place to some unknown nobody?

Soon, the second test, Defense, began.

And just as quickly, it ended.

“BOOM!!!”

A deafening cacophony of noise erupted.

The ranking list was updated.

[Defense Test Rankings]

[1. Anonymous]

[2. Tian Xueyi]

[3. Moonwalker’s Dog]

[4. Anonymous]

Seeing this ranking, White Abode within Heavenly Maiden went ballistic.

“Something’s fishy! Definitely fishy!!!”

“Replay doesn’t want a master!!!”

“How could anyone have stronger defenses than me!?”

“I can’t lose in defense!!!”

As White Abode raged, the other participants also sensed something was wrong.

Heavenly Maiden would definitely place White Abode in the Defense test.

Wu Qie, the Ancient Species Beast Tamer, would also avoid this category.

So what was Replay doing…?

As everyone wondered, hidden at the edge of the enclosed arena, a golden-haired girl with twin buns and a playful smile placed her third card, the Mobility card.

Lian Xing had expected her Monarch-Tier Snow Flower, Ice Attendant Snow Youluo, to lose to Heavenly Maiden’s White Abode in Defense.

She hadn’t expected to win…

It seemed White Abode was a support-type enhancer. In terms of pure defense, she couldn’t compare to Snow Flower.

After all, Snow Flower’s Seven Snow Souls ability was no joke…

In the first round, Lian Xing had used the Ancient Rabbit, naturally dominating all other participants. If anyone could surpass the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit in attack power, she would stand on her head and let them have their way with her!

As for why she didn’t use the Ancient Rabbit in the final round, the Duel category generated battle recordings, and Lian Xing wasn’t that exhibitionistic.

Of course, there was another, more important reason…

The Shining Rabbit had revived!

To be precise, the Shining Rabbit’s cooldown hadn’t ended yet; Lian Xing couldn’t summon her in reality.

However…

Replay’s simulated battles allowed her to use the deceased Shining Rabbit as a card.

Lian Xing wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

She was eager to see if the Shining Rabbit had achieved her perfect Monarch-Tier evolution after defeating the small Fallen Species, Heartless Purgatory Life.

So, naturally, Lian Xing placed Mist Colt in Mobility, Star Sand in Support, and the Shining Rabbit and Calamity Sun in the final Duel category as her trump cards.

Mist Colt easily took first place in Mobility.

When Cloud and Dream’s Promise sprinted at full speed with Awakening activated, even ordinary Myriad-Level Emperors couldn’t see her, let alone catch her.

The suspicions about Replay intensified.

Almost everyone believed Replay didn’t want a master. How else could Heavenly Maiden fail to secure first place in three categories?

Heavenly Maiden’s fans were furious.

The fourth category, Support.

This category’s rules were more complex, simulating a battle between two Emperors and having each player’s support Pet Beast enhance the weaker Emperor, assessing the increase in combat power and whether it could turn the tide of the battle.

Unfortunately, Star Sand only placed fourth in this round. Tears Maiden’s Monarch-Tier Rain Water, however, jumped to third, pushing Cloud Princess down to fifth.

Lian Xing wasn’t discouraged. Star Sand hadn’t evolved in a while, currently only the Commander-Tier Celestial Bride’s Starry Sea, and couldn’t significantly influence Emperor-Tier Pet Beasts, though sealing them for a few seconds was still possible.

Heavenly Maiden finally secured first place.

But her beautiful eyebrows remained furrowed, a sense of unease growing within her.

If that anonymous participant had consistently suppressed her, she might have suspected Replay was rigging the game.

But now, having suddenly won the Support category, while the anonymous participant had fallen behind, made her wonder if the opponent was truly weak in support.

Was it a real person…?

Regardless, the truth would be revealed in the final Duel, which would be recorded.

Heavenly Maiden, White Abode, Wu Qie, Cloud Princess, the Grand Concubine, Silver Dragon—all the Beast Tamers eagerly awaited the final round.

This would be a massive free-for-all between over a billion Pet Beasts!

Heavenly Maiden’s Shining Species and Wu Qie’s Ancient Species would clash once more!

Even if they had no hope of winning, it would be a spectacle to behold~~~

Coming to Cold Moon Palace had been worth it!

A simulated battle recording appeared before them.

Finally, Replay’s trial reached the final Duel.

During the ten-second countdown, billions of participants located their Pet Beasts and saw the starting positions of Heavenly Maiden and Wu Qie’s Pet Beasts.

They were dazzling!

Even without Awakening activated, Heavenly Maiden’s graceful, dreamlike white fox instantly captivated everyone.

Wu Qie’s Ancient Species also exuded a powerful aura that shook the hearts of all participants.

It was a massive, sky-obscuring, black bird.

Clearly, this Ancient Species’ original form was the Low-Tier Black Umbrella Chick—

As the Ancient Species and the Shining Species faced each other, many noticed a sulfur-colored water elemental.

Huh!?

There was another Ancient Species present!?

Was this a Water Elemental Ancient Species?

They had never seen one before.

Could this be the mysterious anonymous participant?

As many wondered, Tears Maiden felt a surge of excitement.

Though her Yellow Springs Beckon was only level one hundred, unable to even defeat a Myriad-Level Emperor…

She still wanted to see how it would fare against a Thousand-Level Ancient Species!

Under everyone’s gaze, time ticked down.

Three seconds left.

Heavenly Maiden’s Shining Species activated its Awakening.

One second left. All Pet Beasts assumed combat stances.

But in the final half-second—

Silver Dragon’s pupils constricted sharply as she noticed something, casually observing since she wasn’t participating in this round.

In a corner at the edge of the map, unnoticed by anyone, a beautiful, humanoid Moonlight Rabbit leaned against the wall, looking bored.

Her body radiated a golden, shimmering light, her soft, fluffy ears drooping like two long pillows, emitting a faint, sunset-like glow.

Golden, star-shaped bubbles floated around her aura, like a cheap video game effect.

And most strikingly, a golden, hollow, satellite-like cube spun above her head.

The cube’s texture and material seemed incredibly refined, golden sand spraying from its seams and forming rivers of gold around the Moonlight Rabbit.

It looked…

Too similar…

This Moonlight Rabbit looked too much like Lian Xing’s!

But Silver Dragon knew this was just her imagination. This was an ordinary Monarch-Tier Biological species, not Lian Xing’s Royal-Tier Shining Species…

Lian Xing still hadn’t arrived.

Finally, the long half-second passed.

The countdown ended.

Under the bated breath of all participants—

The final Duel began!

“BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

However, at that very moment, without warning, a blinding light flashed across the screen, blinding almost every Beast Tamer.

Then, a massive, golden shockwave erupted from somewhere, instantly engulfing the billions of Pet Beasts present.

Heavenly Maiden and Wu Qie’s expressions froze.

As the entire arena watched in stunned silence, seconds later, as the dazzling golden light subsided, Pet Beasts collapsed one after another, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Everyone initially thought Heavenly Maiden’s Shining Species had become even stronger.

But then they saw the Shining white fox also struggling under the terrifying shockwave, one of her hind legs nearly touching the ground.

Wu Qie’s Ancient Species, in its Black Umbrella Chick form, was in even worse shape, unable to even spread its wings, its body sprawled on the ground, drenched in sweat.

“…”

“…”

What was going on…?

As the participants stared in disbelief, at the epicenter of the shining shockwave…

A Moonlight Rabbit, radiating explosive golden flames, slowly stood up.

If Lian Xing were in control, she would have made this creature put on a show, teasing the others before revealing her true power~~~

Unfortunately, this was Replay’s simulated battle, based purely on stats.

Therefore, she would dominate from the very beginning.

This was inevitable.

For ordinary Shining Species, Awakening required a three-second charge, giving others time to react.

But she was clearly different.

She had activated her Awakening the instant the battle began, without any preparation.

Because she was in her full-power Shining form.

Lowering her Pet Essence output suppressed her Shining aura.

Increasing it transformed her into her Shining form.

And this wasn’t even Triple Awakening, just the first stage of Shining Awakening.

As a Monarch-Tier Shining Species, her strength was clearly abnormal.

Even Lian Xing, her master, knew this.

You’re right.

But…

This was a Shining Species that had defeated a Fallen Species!

In that moment, the Moonlight Rabbit’s evolution had been completely rewritten—

[Monarch-Tier · Shining Species]

[?????Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal?????]

Replay is Recreate

Chapter 203: Shining Rabbit, Monarch Evolution!!! p1

Cold Moon Palace, the territory established by Cold Moon, the Fourth Guardian.

Millions of years ago, Cold Moon, White Abode, and Snow Flower, three high-ranking Legends, had fought together in the same Beast Tamer’s lineup.

That Legendary Beast Tamer had reached the pinnacle of the Pet Beast World, her magnificence rivaling even Star Goddess.

Unfortunately, no matter how high one climbed, they couldn’t escape the short lifespan of a mortal body.

Whether human or hybrid Beast Tamer, few lived past their first millennium.

Their lifespans were even shorter than Royal-Tier Pet Beasts, let alone the immortal Emperor-Tier…

Naturally, after millions of years, her name and deeds faded from memory.

White Abode and Snow Flower reincarnated repeatedly after their deaths.

Even Cold Moon, a Guardian who had lived to the present day, had only fragmented memories of her original master.

But even so, at the Six-pointed Star Banquet, upon seeing Snow Flower, White Abode, despite having forgotten everything, felt a strong sense of familiarity.

It wanted to fight alongside Snow Flower again.

Unfortunately, with the terrifying arrival of the Myriad-Level Ancient Species, White Abode’s dream was shattered…

“Such a pity…”

“If only we had met Snow Flower sooner—”

Outside Replay’s awakening zone, the white-haired beauty in an icy blue, translucent evening gown stared blankly into space, White Abode’s complaints echoing in her mind.

In the three months since the Six-pointed Star Banquet, Heavenly Maiden had nearly been driven mad by White Abode’s constant whining, though she never outwardly expressed her frustration.

Of course, despite its complaints, White Abode wouldn’t dare challenge the Ancient Species.

Forget the Myriad-Level Ancient Species; they couldn’t even defeat Lian Xing’s Shining Species.

They had witnessed that Shining Species, in her Royal-Tier state, unleash a suicidal burst of power, instantly killing the Fallen parasite within Storm, the Monarch-Tier Heartless Purgatory Life.

Heartless Purgatory Life, who could rival Gem Concubine and had beaten Jade Crown Great King to a pulp… had been instantly killed by that terrifying, dazzling Shining throw…

Rumor had it that Gem Concubine was still in shock, unable to recover.

“Regardless, we missed Snow Flower, but we can’t miss Replay.”

“Xueyi, you possess talent comparable to Star Goddess. Capture Replay, then wait for me and Xiao Bai to reach Emperor-Tier. We’ll retrieve Cold Moon, and then we’ll be invincible!!!”

“Okay…” Heavenly Maiden replied indifferently.

Though a Mechanical species, Replay’s abilities were a mix of Viral and Mechanical, perfectly complementing White Abode’s attack-ignoring ability.

She had two contract slots remaining.

One for Replay, one for Cold Moon. A perfect lineup.

As Heavenly Maiden and White Abode conversed, the other Beast Tamers nearby observed the white-haired beauty with apprehension.

Tian Xueyi, code name Heavenly Maiden.

One of the Shining Six Stars, the strongest Beast Tamer in the Moon Soul World.

99% of Cold Moon Palace’s inhabitants were her devoted fans, but this time was different.

Most of those present were Beast Tamers from around the world, while few were from Cold Moon Palace itself.

In their eyes, no one could possibly compete with Heavenly Maiden for Pet Beasts or resources. Coming here was pointless; they might as well watch the live broadcast at home.

Soon, Jade Maiden arrived with Silver Dragon, Thunder Fly, and Tears Maiden.

With a few hours remaining until Replay’s awakening, the inner circle was packed with at least a billion Beast Tamers, countless others observing from the outer perimeter.

Seeing this massive crowd, the three girls were stunned.

How… how many!?

A billion Beast Tamers, all Royal-Tier and above…

Such a massive gathering for a single Legend’s awakening was unimaginable in the Bubble Pet Beast World.

Especially for Silver Dragon, who had experienced the Beast Tamer Alliance Tournament.

Even all the Royal-Tier participants in the tournament combined wouldn’t make a ripple here, practically insignificant.

Just how powerful did one have to be to stand out among a billion Beast Tamers!?

“Will Boss Replay even recognize me after just reincarnating…?” Even Huang Li felt a flicker of apprehension, sensing the powerful auras around them.

A newly reincarnated Legend’s memories were the most fragmented, remembering only basic information about power distribution and evolutionary principles.

She worried Replay, after being captured by another Beast Tamer, would become a stranger.

“Do you see those people?” Jade Maiden suddenly asked.

Following her gaze, Silver Dragon and the others saw a strange sight.

Though the inner circle was packed with a billion Beast Tamers, the area a few hundred meters ahead was almost empty.

It was as if the other Beast Tamers had intentionally left a space, not crowding the area.

Almost everyone was observing the white-haired beauty in the icy blue dress, her skin as smooth as cream, her beauty surpassing all others.

“Heavenly Maiden of Cold Moon Palace. I don’t need to introduce her; even a dog knows who she is.”

“And beside her is the descendant of First Quarter’s former master, Lover’s First in Line, the Grand Concubine. She’s one of the few who can rival Heavenly Maiden~~~”

As Jade Maiden spoke, the incredibly beautiful purple-haired girl with twin tails, standing a few hundred meters from Heavenly Maiden, glanced at them.

Her beauty rivaled even Heavenly Maiden’s, but her temperament was vastly different. To outsiders, she simply seemed… drained from Lover’s “attention.”

At over seven hundred years old, she was practically an old lady compared to the youthful Heavenly Maiden.

Jade Maiden refrained from voicing this last thought, not wanting to get beaten up. After all, the Grand Concubine was also in Lover’s channel.

“And that one, the Ancient Species holder of the Inverse Time Society, Wu Qie. She has a Thousand-Level Ancient Species. She was once considered Heavenly Maiden’s equal, but after being defeated by Heavenly Maiden, her progress stagnated, her level even regressing.”

Jade Maiden pointed towards a woman with a large, black peony hairstyle.

None of these highly sought-after experts were unattractive.

But someone was sweating nervously. We won’t say who.

Tears Maiden’s pupils constricted sharply.

A Thousand-Level Ancient Species!?

Her own Ancient Species, Yellow Springs Beckon, was barely over level one hundred, yet it could already fight ordinary Ruler-Tier Emperors to a draw.

What kind of monster was a Thousand-Level Ancient Species? Probably capable of slaughtering Myriad-Level Emperors like dogs.

But even such a terrifying woman had been defeated by Heavenly Maiden…?

Just how strong was Heavenly Maiden!?

Indeed, Heavenly Maiden’s arrival had overshadowed this era. No Beast Tamer could match her, not even the renowned Ancient Species Beast Tamer, Wu Qie.

Even if Lian Xing came…

She probably wouldn’t be a match for Heavenly Maiden, would she?

Silver Dragon, Thunder Fly, and Tear Heavenly Maiden all shared this thought.

“And the strongest from Cloud Mist Sea, the only Beast Tamer among the Four Guardians, Cloud Princess. Rumor has it she’s the Third Guardian Moonwalker’s… favorite, constantly following her around like a lost puppy, or perhaps an illegitimate child~~~”

Moonwalker…

Tears Maiden and Thunder Fly immediately picked up on this information.

They had also acted as Moonwalker’s agents, their knowledge of the new world coming entirely from her.

But Moonwalker had been unusually quiet since their arrival.

Under everyone’s gaze, the girl with large, white curls, known as Cloud Princess, frowned, a troubled expression on her face.

She had originally been scheduled to lead the team in the Six-pointed Star Banquet three months ago, but she had been in seclusion and declined Moonwalker’s invitation.

However, ever since then, perhaps having angered Moonwalker, she hadn’t received a single reply from her!

Before departing for Cold Moon Palace, she had even visited Moonwalker’s residence, but hadn’t seen her.

Had Moonwalker given up on her?

Cloud Princess sighed, but quickly regained her composure.

If she captured Replay from Heavenly Maiden, would that make Moonwalker happy?

“…”

“…”

“Alright, those are the top contenders present.”

“If possible, I’ll join the Grand Concubine’s faction. You all do as you please. Just consider this a learning experience. Don’t stress too much~~~”

As Jade Maiden spoke casually, the three girls nodded in agreement.

Their goal wasn’t necessarily to capture Replay. They had come here primarily to find Lian Xing.

After all, the first thing one did upon arriving in a new place was to find their wife.

If they could reunite with Lian Xing today, that would be perfect~~~

“Whoosh—!!!!!”

Under the nervous gazes of millions of Beast Tamers, a silver, particle-like light erupted, enveloping the surrounding area for millions of miles.

Replay’s reincarnation awakening had begun!

Similar to Star Sand’s reincarnation awakening, but on a much larger scale.

A wave of silver particles, with a futuristic, mechanical texture, swept outwards, instantly overturning everything in its path.

After all, like Rain Water, Replay was also initially Royal-Tier…!!!

The next second, all Beast Tamers within Replay’s aura vanished.

Seeing this, the observing Beast Tamers rushed forward, disappearing into the light one after another.

The crowd thinned rapidly.

Only a few internet celebrities with selfie sticks remained, casually filming. Some weren’t even Royal-Tier, clearly just there for the clout.

However…

High above, beyond everyone’s vision, a beautiful woman with long, blue hair and curvaceous legs floated in the air, her delicate toes, painted with the same icy blue nail polish as Heavenly Maiden, shimmering like pearls.

A few icy white ribbons floated around her, intricately intertwined, strategically covering all the important bits, a sight that stirred the blood and awakened primal instincts.

The Fourth Guardian, Cold Moon, master of Cold Moon Palace, ranked ninth among the seventy-two Legends.

Though not highly ranked, her combat power was among the highest of the Guardians, having once repelled Volcano. She was also the idol of Ice Emperor, one of the Six Stars.

Rumor had it that she was incredibly aloof, acknowledging no one besides Sharp Edge Seven King Mother.

“Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap—”

As Cold Moon observed Replay’s domain, footsteps echoed behind her.

Without turning around, she said coldly, “Moonwalker already spoke to me.”

“I won’t interfere, no matter what happens.”

“But…”

“If you face Heavenly Maiden, you mustn’t kill her. That’s my bottom line.”

“…”

“…”

“Don’t worry, I’m a gentle soul~~~”

A cheerful voice replied as a golden-haired girl with starry eyes and twin buns walked past Cold Moon.

Then, with a carefree smile, she leaped from the sky, her delicate body falling rapidly towards the ground.

Watching the girl’s descending figure, Cold Moon frowned.

“Little Sister Snow Flower…”

“What are you thinking?”

“Why would you join a Beast Tamer with both an Ancient Species and a Shining Species…?”

***

Inside Replay’s Legendary domain…

The moment they were engulfed by the light, everything turned white.

Seconds later, the light faded.

A massive, silver, enclosed space appeared, resembling a giant laboratory, containing all the Beast Tamers.

Heavenly Maiden, Wu Qie, Lover’s Grand Concubine, and Cloud Princess stood calmly at the center.

Jade Maiden, Tears Maiden, Silver Dragon, and Thunder Fly hid in the corner, observing.

Something felt amiss about Replay’s awakening…

Trapping everyone here?

All in the same space?

It was as if they were being forced to fight each other…

“Huang Li, what do you think?” Silver Dragon asked nervously.

“What happened when Replay awakened last time?” Thunder Fly asked curiously.

“I have a brilliant idea. I wasn’t even born when Boss Replay awakened last time!”

“Infant…” Huang Quan Lai, the Ancient Species within Tears Maiden, teased.

Huang Li rolled her eyes.

Who was the infant here? Did she have no self-awareness?

This little newborn, barely over level one hundred…

Seconds later, lines of text, formed from garbled mechanical code, appeared above them.

[I am Replay.]

[Let me state upfront, this awakening test is very short. The first-place winner will become my master.]

[Now, please register your Pet Beasts with my control center.]

“…”

“…”

“Whoosh—!!”

A translucent panel appeared before all the Beast Tamers.

It resembled a card game interface, with six card slots, corresponding to five categories:

[Attack]

[Defense]

[Mobility]

[Support]

[Duel]

The first four had single card slots, while Duel had two.

Tear Heavenly Maiden, having a hunch, silently placed Rain Water’s aura in the Defense slot.

As expected, Rain Water appeared on the panel as a beautiful blue water elemental.

Then, she removed Rain Water.

She now understood why Replay said the test would be short…

[As many of you have likely realized, this trial doesn’t require actual combat. Once you register your Pet Beasts with my control center, my system will analyze their highest stats and conduct automated card battles.]

[Regardless of the number of Pet Beast cards, my system will instantly simulate the results and rank you all.]

[Attack, Defense, Mobility, and Support—the first four tests have a 1:1 point and ranking ratio. The final Duel requires two cards, so its point and ranking ratio is 2:1, double points.]

[The rankings for the first four categories will be determined instantly after card registration. You can choose to remain anonymous. But for the final free-for-all, the Duel, battle recordings will be provided for transparency.]

As Replay announced the rules, many Beast Tamers sighed in disappointment.

It seemed there was no room for tricks.

Only those with the strongest overall lineup could win…

Even Heavenly Maiden might lose first place in some categories.

Cloud Princess, seeing the rules, her eyes lit up.

She could win!

If it was a competition of overall lineup strength, she had a good chance of beating Heavenly Maiden!

 

Chapter 202: Lian Xing Samples Moonwalker Mother and Daughter, and the Ex-Wife p2

Three months after the Ancient Rabbit’s return…

After the Six-pointed Star Banquet, Lian Xing’s deeds hadn’t spread, her identity known only to a few high-ranking individuals in the Moon Soul World.

Storm had seemingly vanished, neither causing destruction nor returning to her designated flight path.

Moon Calamity had also disappeared with Lian Xing.

One day, after another “pretend to sleep” game with Moonwalker, Lian Xing got out of bed with a satisfied smile, like a young girl who had just tasted forbidden fruit.

But amidst her pleasure, she also felt a sense of inadequacy and disappointment.

No matter how many tricks she tried, Moonwalker always maintained a gentle, indulgent expression, her eyes as if saying, “Small is cute too.”

Uh…

Even without resistance, Lian Xing couldn’t win.

This was the powerlessness of a Beast Tamer.

Once the Shining Rabbit revived, wouldn’t she be doomed?

With less than half a month until Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s revival, Lian Xing was already thinking of excuses and escape routes, but every analysis led to the same conclusion: certain death.

“Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring—”

Moonwalker’s phone rang.

She stopped pretending to sleep, rising from the bed, her body still damp, and answered the call.

“Hello?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Yes, I understand.”

Moonwalker hung up, her expression unchanged.

She turned to the golden-haired enthusiast in a white silk camisole.

“Xiao Xing, Replay has reincarnated.”

“Coordinates: Cold Moon Palace…”

Cold Moon Palace, the territory governed by the Fourth Guardian, Cold Moon.

Heavenly Maiden and the current generation’s White Abode had both grown up under Cold Moon’s protection.

Though Moonwalker and Cold Moon were on good terms, Guardians normally didn’t visit each other’s territories without a specific reason.

Therefore, Lian Xing had to go alone.

Great Lord Biluo was only one Replay away from breaking through to Royal-Tier…

Meanwhile—

—Cold Moon Palace—

Unlike the endless sea of clouds in Cloud Mist Sea, Cold Moon Palace, despite its name, was incredibly vast.

It was called a palace because the entire sky above it was icy blue, as if all beings within were enveloped by a cold, ethereal palace.

Three graceful girls looked around curiously.

One was a blue-haired girl with teardrop-shaped pupils and rain-like markings on her cheeks, her beautiful face seemingly perpetually crying.

Another was a silver-haired girl in a mask, her body covered in silver scales, a massive, swaying dragon tail behind her, its appearance incredibly alluring.

The last was a feminine figure formed of purple lightning. At first glance, she seemed like an Elemental Species, but closer inspection revealed she was a Beast Tamer.

Tears Maiden, Silver Dragon, and Thunder Fly!

They hadn’t been idle during Lian Xing’s half-year journey to the new world.

Tears Maiden’s Ancient Species had leveled up significantly after the Flood disaster, and her Legendary Rain Water had reached Monarch-Tier, becoming invincible in their old Pet Beast World.

As for Thunder Fly, after Ephemeral reached Royal-Tier, her main Pet Beast, Thundering Thousand Tribulations, had also evolved to Monarch, subduing its own mother and then forcibly capturing Curfew, one of the seventy-two Legends, becoming the new generation’s only dual-Legend Beast Tamer.

Finally, Silver Dragon…

Somehow, after catching the eye of the Emperor North Wind Marquis from the Beast Tamer Alliance, she had been pursued by Huang Li(Yellow Dragon), the current leader of the Seven Heavens.

As an incredibly rare dragon hybrid, this development wasn’t entirely surprising.

Surprising my ass.

Anyway, regardless of the process, the result was good.

With Huang Li carrying 99.99% of the damage output, the three of them had defeated the gatekeeper of the Bubble Pet Beast World, arriving in the new world.

Haha, we three are so amazing!!!

In Huang Li’s words, with Replay and Star Sand gone, there was no point in staying in the Seven Heavens.

With Calamity Sun and Snow Flower no longer a threat, she left the mess to others, taking the three girls and forcing her way into the new world.

As the Bubble Pet Beast World’s strongest combatant, Huang Li’s power far surpassed Replay and Star Sand. The new generation’s weakened gatekeeper was no match for her.

Standing in Cold Moon Palace, Tears Maiden glanced at the impassive Silver Dragon.

Huang Li’s arrival had created a power imbalance in their trio.

Silver Dragon could now defeat a hundred Tears Maidens.

And Tears Maiden could defeat a hundred Thunder Flies.

However, without Huang Li, Tears Maiden’s Ancient Species would still be stronger than North Wind Marquis.

During their journey to the new world, they had encountered several Emperors investigating their identities. Huang Li, without even bothering to speak, had simply thrown them off their mechanical airship and fled Cloud Mist Sea, following Replay’s aura.

Finally, they had arrived at Cold Moon Palace just in time for Replay’s awakening!

“Are you ready, girls!?”

A cheerful voice called out from behind them.

The three girls rolled their eyes.

As expected, upon turning around, a familiar tuft of green hair appeared before them.

Jade Maiden!!! – (Jade Lady)

Jade Maiden had arrived in the new world three months ago.

According to rumors, during her battle against the gatekeeper at the Holy Gate, she had summoned four or five Myriad-Level Emperors, scaring the gatekeeper into submission.

Normally, Jade Maiden’s reputation among the Pet Concubines was terrible.

No one would lend her their Pet Beasts.

However…

After the Six-pointed Star Banquet, upon learning of Lian Xing’s new lineup, Jade Maiden had shamelessly gone to White Moon Continent, collected Lian Xing’s old clothes and stockings from the Youlan Academy museum, and used them as rewards to secure the support of other Pet Concubines.

Before the Beast Tamer Alliance and the Seven Heavens could issue a warrant for her arrest, she had fled to the Moon Soul World.

Seeing Jade Maiden’s carefree demeanor, Silver Dragon felt a surge of anger.

She had been the one pursuing Jade Maiden, even stripping her of her equipment after a beating, but Jade Maiden had escaped. After all, Lover’s Pet Concubines couldn’t be killed.

However, she had secretly kept a few pairs of Jade Maiden’s dropped white stockings, so it wasn’t a complete loss.

“Jade Maiden, do you have any news about Lian Xing?” Tears Maiden asked directly.

Jade Maiden shook her head, then explained, “Sorry, I can’t reveal that. Lian Xing recently caused a huge incident that shook the Moon Soul World. All information has been blocked by that person from Sharp Edge Mountain.”

“If I weren’t Lover’s Pet Concubine, I’d tell you, but with all these newborns in the channel, how can I speak freely? I’d be bombarded with millions of reports!”

The three girls exchanged puzzled glances.

Jade Maiden had hinted before that Lian Xing was in trouble, but never so explicitly.

That person from Sharp Edge Mountain… who was that?

And how had Lian Xing, after only half a year in the Moon Soul World, become involved with such a high-ranking individual?

“Oh right, though I can’t explain the details…”

“Replay’s aura has reformed in Cold Moon Palace. I think Lian Xing will definitely come to retrieve it. Her Mechanical species hasn’t moved. If it were going to evolve, it would have done so already. I bet she’s waiting for Replay~~~”

Jade Maiden was right.

But she wasn’t guessing.

Months ago, Lian Xing had asked First Quarter to run a simulation to determine Replay’s reincarnation coordinates.

And First Quarter had broken her rules without hesitation…

Lian Xing was coming to retrieve Replay…?

They were about to see Lian Xing again?

How much stronger had she become?

Tears Maiden, Silver Dragon, and Thunder Fly’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

But a shadow of unease flickered in Jade Maiden’s eyes.

She had missed Lian Xing terribly, longed to be punished by her again, to be stepped on by her white silk feet, to be fed… things… but…

Reality was cruel.

Shining defeating Fallen…

A Myriad-Level Ancient Emperor…

Facing the molted Storm…

Perhaps, even if they dedicated their entire lives, they would never reach that woman’s level.

Thousands, even millions of years later, the legends of Lian Xing might mention the Moonlight Rabbit, the Third Guardian Moonwalker, even Heavenly Maiden of Cold Moon Palace. But what about them?

Their names probably wouldn’t even appear…

Jade Maiden quickly composed herself, smiling brightly at the three girls.

“Alright, let’s go to Replay’s awakening location. Check the rules first, and don’t let anyone from Cold Moon Palace beat us to it!”

“Cold Moon Palace has a supposedly invincible Beast Tamer. We need to devise a strategy to defeat her~~~”

Undoubtedly, besides Lian Xing, that woman, as one of the Six Stars, would definitely be here.

Heavenly Maiden, the strongest Beast Tamer in the Moon Soul World…

Chapter 202: Lian Xing Samples Moonwalker Mother and Daughter, and the Ex-Wife p1

Within Lian Xing’s milky white Pet Beast space, Star Sand, Mist Colt, Snow Flower, Calamity Sun, Golden Leaf, and Great Lord Biluo were all drenched in sweat, staring nervously at the Moonlight Rabbit resting in the corner.

While still a Moonlight Rabbit, this wasn’t the same one!

They had just witnessed this Ancient Species decimate Storm.

And how had their master, Lian Xing, acquired another Pet Beast slot!?

Uh…

Honestly, Lian Xing wanted to know the answer to that question too.

Beast Tamers could deceive wild Pet Beasts, but they couldn’t hide their thoughts from contracted ones.

So, after sharing Lian Xing’s confusion, they stopped asking.

Calamity Sun twitched nervously.

Back in the Bubble Pet Beast World, it had speculated that Lian Xing might be Moon Calamity’s illegitimate daughter. Though far-fetched, it was more plausible than her simply becoming a Pet Beast.

But to actually be one!?

Meanwhile, having recovered from the initial shock of being reunited with her past life’s Ancient Species, Lian Xing excitedly examined the rabbit’s panel.

[Ancient Species—Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit LV14000]

[Talent: Super Absorption, Starry Sky]

[Awakening: Ancient Species cannot awaken]

[Bloodline Combat Skills: Moon Chase, Eclipse, Full Moon, Moon Crushing, Meteor Moon, Collapsing Moon, Hidden Moon, Howling Moon, Sudden Melody, Holy Cotton, Six Ears, Moonbeam, Heavy Tail]

[Shining Combat Skills: Divine Duel, Sun and Moon Harmony, Starflow]

[Normal Combat Skills: Life Recovery (Black) x4]

The Ancient Rabbit had possessed four attack-type combat skills in her ordinary Emperor stage.

But after evolving into an Ancient Species and transmigrating with Lian Xing, she had quietly replaced them.

This was only natural.

She had needed Black combat skills to supplement her damage before becoming an Ancient Species.

As an Ancient Species, both her Bloodline combat skills and her evolving Shining combat skills had undergone tremendous changes. Only Normal combat skills remained at their original strength, becoming obsolete.

“Rabbit, where are my other Pet Beasts!?”

“…”

“…”

The Ancient Rabbit turned her head, ignoring Lian Xing’s question.

Lian Xing couldn’t retrieve her past life’s Pet Beasts. She wasn’t a Reincarnated Body, and her current Pet Beast slots were full.

However, she was particularly concerned about two Pet Beasts.

One was [Death Sentence], an incredibly rare, rule-type Weapon Species, ranked similarly to Calamity Sun among the seventy-two Legends.

The other was a highly transcendent Fallen Species, once one of the two main damage dealers in Lian Xing’s lineup, alongside the Ancient Rabbit.

However, after Lian Xing focused on evolving the Moonlight Rabbit, its affection had plummeted.

Strangely, the lower its affection, the higher its strength became. Eventually, Lian Xing stopped caring.

It wasn’t entirely her fault; it had just been a game.

Would anyone evenly distribute resources among all their waifus in a mobile game?

Seeing the Ancient Rabbit ignoring her, Lian Xing hugged it tightly, ruffling its fur.

“Darling, wifey, honey, tell me! Come on, give me a kiss!!!” Lian Xing showered the Ancient Rabbit with affection.

After being thoroughly pampered, the Moonlight Rabbit’s face flushed slightly, and she reluctantly relayed the information to Lian Xing.

[I don’t know about the others, but that little bird arrived in the Moon Soul World long ago.]

[Death Sentence is south of here. It was taken by a Guardian upon awakening. I didn’t bother.]

[The Twin Element went to the other Shining Bipole’s territory.]

The Ancient Rabbit, susceptible to affection, had confessed everything.

Lian Xing fell silent, pondering whether to reunite with her past life’s Pet Beasts.

Besides her initial Pet Beast, other Pet Beasts usually weren’t deeply attached to their masters, likely scattering after their contracts were dissolved.

And that transcendent little bird’s affection was practically negative. Was it even worth retrieving?

As for the Twin Element, it was a wild Emperor Lian Xing had contracted last.

Back then, she hadn’t understood how it had evolved, but now she did. If such a transformation occurred in a human, it would be a Reincarnated Body.

Besides Death Sentence, only those two were Myriad-Level. There was no need to retrieve her other, lower-level Pet Beasts.

Let nature take its course…

With the Ancient Rabbit’s protection, she could go anywhere in the world.

Even Guardians and the Four Great Calamities couldn’t stop her. This lineup was practically invincible in the Moon Soul World.

However, the thought of the Shining Rabbit’s awakening in a few months made Lian Xing’s head ache and her bones feel weak.

She had to address her physical weakness before then…

Though no human could escape a Married Pet Beast’s “affection,” it was better than lying in bed waiting for death with her current crippled body.

With this in mind, Lian Xing left her Pet Beast space.

“…”

“…”

“Mmm~~~”

Amidst the swirling clouds, on a white, lace-covered bed, the golden-haired girl in white, translucent stockings slowly opened her eyes.

She had never slept so soundly.

Behind her, the graceful and beautiful Moonwalker gently embraced her.

In Lian Xing’s arms was a ten-year-old, white-haired girl with antlers, whom she hugged like a large pillow, a perfect picture of a loving family.

Little Moonwalker had evolved to Commander-Tier and, due to the Moonwalker species’ inability for full elementalization, could partially transform into a human.

Her delicate, jade-like face was so adorable it made people want to have more daughters.

Sensing Lian Xing awakening, Moonwalker, without hesitation, rolled her over and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Lian Xing’s fists clenched.

Normally, with a beauty in bed, anyone with functioning equipment would have already made their move. But Lian Xing’s situation was different.

She dared not provoke Moonwalker.

Otherwise, she would be the one suffering the consequences.

So, despite her burning desire, she remained still, not daring to move a muscle, her frustration building to the point of near madness.

Suddenly, Lian Xing realized a crucial issue.

“By the way, Mother, aren’t Legends supposed to be unique? How did you give birth to Little Moonwalker?”

“Who’s your ex-wife…?”

“…”

“…”

Silence followed Lian Xing’s curious question.

After a long while, Moonwalker opened her eyes, her long, white eyelashes fluttering, as if hesitant to speak.

Lian Xing had wanted to ask this for a while, but their difference in status had made her hesitate.

But now, with their… impending intimacy, she felt comfortable asking directly.

However, this question seemed to be a bit much for Moonwalker.

Seeing her continued silence, Lian Xing didn’t press further.

Then, Moonwalker suddenly spoke.

“Xiao Xing, have you heard of Soul Worlds beyond the Moon Soul World?”

“…”

“…”

“Not really, but Qianqiu and Lover mentioned a Star Soul World nearby. Lower-ranked seventy-two Legends sometimes appear there. Just in case, I even had Qianqiu simulate Replay’s reincarnation location for me.”

(*Replay = Recreate*)

Lian Xing, finally getting a glimpse of the world’s lore, replied curiously.

Moonwalker nodded slightly, then explained, “Compared to the Moon Soul World, the Star Soul World is just a small village, lacking even the three main evolutionary paths. Most of its Legends are low-ranked. It’s basically a larger Bubble Pet Beast World. However—”

“There are one hundred seventy complete Soul Worlds around the Moon Soul World, all subordinate to us, following the same evolutionary rules.”

“But do you know what happens once you leave the Moon Soul World’s jurisdiction…?”

“…”

“…”

“The Pet Beast evolutionary system… becomes completely different.”

“Not just the realms and rarities, but even the uniqueness is disrupted.”

“My ex-wife was from a Soul World outside the Moon Soul World’s control. We were both unique in our respective regions, but we combined, creating a new Moonwalker. Of course, she has since returned. With different evolutionary systems, she couldn’t stay here permanently.”

Lian Xing fell silent.

Her understanding of this Beast Taming world had been shattered.

Different realms and species were one thing, but different evolutionary systems!?

It was like her Beast Taming Evolution Duel game suddenly having a competitor, another Beast Taming MMO with different Pet Beast names, realms, even lacking Arcane Arts and combat skills, using a completely different type of enhancement.

Then, the new game was suddenly acquired by Beast Taming Evolution Duel, their systems forcibly merged, creating utter chaos!

Bleach vs. Naruto?

DOTA vs. League of Legends?

Hell Horse vs. AWP in a mid-lane snipe-off?

After recovering from her shock, Lian Xing asked hesitantly, “So, our Moon Soul World is just a newbie village?”

Had all her efforts over the past… however many chapters been for nothing?

Sensing Lian Xing’s worry, Moonwalker chuckled.

“You’re wrong. Our Moon Soul World is the final boss level. The Star Soul World and the Cold Soul World are the newbie villages.”

“But there are beings in this world who can change the rules of the game. They decide the evolutionary system, determine life and death, erase themselves from the timeline, even reverse the flow of time across countless Soul Worlds.”

“Of course, I haven’t seen it myself. The Divine Machine told me, so it’s not very reliable.”

“Even Inverse Time can only reverse individual life states, and Replay can only refresh. Can you comprehend reversing time across countless Soul Worlds? That means every being would be reborn or transmigrated. Theoretically impossible.”

“Don’t worry. Such beings are ethereal. It’s better to focus on sleeping~~~”

“You’re right, Mother. I was overthinking it—” Lian Xing quickly agreed.

But she already had a hunch.

Such beings did exist.

Because the evolutionary systems across different Soul Worlds were different!

Could silicon-based life and carbon-based organisms reproduce?

This meant some “being” had established the rules of the Moon Soul World, and other “beings” had established the rules for other Soul Worlds.

It seemed even with the Ancient Rabbit’s return, she had to be more cautious, not so reckless.

“Mother, one last question.”

“What is it?”

“I… crave your body, but I’m afraid of being… overpowered. So, could you pretend to be asleep?”

“…”

“…”

“Yes, I’m asleep~~~”

Heh.

Sure you are.

***

Meanwhile, somewhere in the starry sky of the Moon Soul World…

On a massive, unmarked planet…

A dark figure in a vintage purple dress walked gracefully across the cratered surface, arriving at an area with twelve markings—a star chart.

Kneeling before the massive star chart that covered half the planet, the figure bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Twelve Moons.”

“May the Eleventh Zodiac, the Nine-Colored Deer, and the Seven-Stringed Lyre Star of the Moon Soul World live for billions of years, their names forever remembered.”

“…”

“…”

“And may the other lords from other Soul Worlds be well,” she added reluctantly after a long pause.

No response.

This was only natural. Humans could pray to gods, but whether the gods listened was another matter.

The black-haired woman walked to the center of the star chart.

“After millions of years, following Ice Queen, Nether Concubine , and Star Goddess, the twelfth Beast Tamer with True Spirit potential has finally emerged.”

“Her name is Lian Xing, only seventeen years old, suspected to be a Shining Species hybrid, currently possessing a Myriad-Level Ancient Species, Calamity Sun, Star Sand, Snow Flower, and a Monarch-Tier Shining Species capable of Triple Awakening. Her overall strength is comparable to a high-ranking Guardian.”

“Therefore, I request the descent of the Lunar Divine Festival upon the Moon Soul World. Through a grand battle between Beast Tamers, allow the lords to descend and further corrupt the evolutionary systems of other Soul Worlds.”

As the dark figure finished speaking, the empty starry sky finally reacted.

“Hum—”

A nine-colored deer, its style and pixels different from the surrounding world, as if from a fairytale, appeared behind the black-haired woman.

She sensed the new presence, but remained facing forward, refusing to turn around.

Even so, her level began to plummet at an alarming rate.

-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

After losing over a dozen levels, her mind calmed, and she exhaled slowly.

“You have seen me…”

“Therefore, you will lose.”

The Nine-Colored Deer’s emotionless voice echoed in her mind.

The black-haired woman’s body trembled violently.

Her Ancient Species level, painstakingly cultivated over millennia, instantly dropped by 127.

The Nine-Colored Deer represented premonitions of the future and impending doom, its presence felt only by those nearing the end of their lives.

So…

Would she lose?

As the Moon Soul World’s oldest First Emperor, with a lifespan nearing one hundred million years, the initiator of the Lunar Divine Festival, would she be defeated by a mere Beast Tamer?

She didn’t believe it.

For millions of years, neither Nether Concubine nor Star Goddess had surpassed her.

She had watched countless prodigies rise and fall before them, forgotten by time.

No one in the Moon Soul World could defeat her.

[Ancient Species—Lotus Concubine Tai Sui—LV20051]

Moments later, the Nine-Colored Deer’s aura dissipated.

A token appeared in the black-haired woman’s hand. She hadn’t even realized when she had raised her hand to receive it.

“Heh—” Lotus Concubine Tai Sui scoffed, turning to leave.

As the world’s invincible, number one Ancient Species…

She would not lose.

Not even the Twelve Moons could change that!

 

Chapter 201: Lian Xing’s First Time

Married Pet Beast, bed partner, cannon, fellow connoisseurs, that aspect.

The moment these words left her mouth, Lian Xing regretted them, realizing her untimely slip of the tongue would likely result in severe consequences.

As expected, the atmosphere froze.

The previously combative mood turned strangely suggestive.

Even the other Guardians looked at Lian Xing with a mixture of amusement and intrigue.

The guests were dumbfounded, and Heavenly Maiden blinked innocently, as if seeing this fellow Shining Species Beast Tamer in a new light.

Only Storm remained unaffected, her body wreathed in a chaotic hurricane force field, seemingly unwilling to leave just yet.

Inverse Time, the Second Guardian, a purple-haired woman, looked at Storm coldly.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?”

“If you don’t leave now, they’ll become a family and gang up on you~~~”

“…”

“…”

Storm, feeling displeased, wanted to retort, but hesitated.

She realized Inverse Time was right.

Though the Ancient Species and Moonwalker seemed like rivals, this wasn’t a pure love story, but a rather… colorful drama involving a certain white-stockinged enthusiast.

Once they realized this, they might indeed join forces against her.

“Whoosh—!!!”

Storm left.

Not a single feather remained.

She hadn’t reverted to her original form, nor resumed her patrol. She had simply vanished, likely to wreak havoc elsewhere.

Meanwhile, at the devastated battlefield, under the incredulous gazes of the guests, the promiscuous, golden-haired enthusiast first caressed her Ancient Species Married Pet Beast, then ran her hands all over Moonwalker, practically clinging to her.

The tension between the two powerful Pet Beasts gradually eased, their expressions softening.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing, holding hands with both the Third Guardian, Moonwalker, and the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, left the scene, leaving Sharp Edge Seven King Mother and the other Guardians to clean up the mess.

“Lian Xing… she’s not only a Shining Species Beast Tamer, but also an Ancient Species Beast Tamer…”

“But where are they going? Seven King Mother clearly has more to say…”

The white-haired beauty in a revealing evening gown tilted her head in confusion as she watched Lian Xing’s retreating figure.

Before White Abode could offer an explanation, Cold Moon, the Fourth Guardian, covered Heavenly Maiden’s eyes.

“Heavenly Maiden, you mustn’t interact with that woman again. You’re too innocent; she’ll corrupt you!!!”

“If you encounter her again, don’t respond to anything she says. Understand!?”

“Yes, Xueyi, listen to Cold Moon. She’s right. I also think this Lian Xing isn’t a good person. Her first impression was quite… indecent and unrestrained!!!”

“…”

“…”

White Abode and Cold Moon chimed in, brainwashing Heavenly Maiden.

Tian Xueyi remained silent, but her confusion grew.

She was innocent, not stupid.

As Lian Xing left with the Ancient Species and Moonwalker, Inverse Time and Sharp Edge Seven King Mother exchanged glances.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. This little one is an Ancient Species Beast Tamer~~~”

“That Myriad-Level Ancient Species is truly something else. No weaknesses, perfect defense, high resistance. She could probably fight Storm until the end of time without a victor emerging…”

Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, ignoring Inverse Time’s sigh, frowned, looking in the direction Storm had left.

Inverse Time continued her analysis.

“What’s wrong? Worried about Storm?”

“Though she molted after so many years, she still has some bottom line. She won’t indiscriminately slaughter innocents outside her designated path. She’ll probably just go bother the other Bipole~~~”

“Besides, I’m still here~~~” Inverse Time said casually, as if she controlled everything.

She was right.

Inverse Time’s ability was like a superior version of Replay.

What Replay couldn’t refresh, she could reverse.

What Replay could only refresh, she could erase from existence, even restoring the bonus levels.

She even possessed large-scale reversal abilities.

For example, she could revert a Pet Beast to its previous life…

***

The highly anticipated Six-pointed Star Banquet ended abruptly.

The Six Stars’ rankings weren’t announced.

No information was leaked.

Though Sharp Edge Seven King Mother forbade any information from spreading, even a fool could tell this banquet was related to Storm.

After all, something had fought fiercely against Storm!

Countless beings had witnessed that battle.

Of course, they couldn’t recognize Storm’s opponent, not even her form.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing, who had slipped away from the banquet and the battle with Storm, was taken to the Cloud Mist Sea by Moonwalker.

Floating amidst the misty ocean, the golden-haired girl nervously fiddled with the hem of her white lace stockings.

Moonwalker bathed in the swirling clouds, cleansing her body.

Though Lian Xing had blurted out those outrageous words in a moment of panic, she instantly regretted them. What had she been thinking!?

She had implied she chose partners based on their… prowess.

As if her womb wasn’t small enough, her offspring not few enough…

As expected, she had been dragged away immediately… and urgently…

Under Lian Xing’s slightly apprehensive gaze, the white deer woman in a magnificent wedding dress approached, her long, slender, white legs carrying her gracefully.

Unlike a human girl’s small feet, Moonwalker’s were incredibly delicate and long, making even her 20cm high heels look natural.

Her massive antlers, like those of a water buffalo, were enough to make any ordinary girl faint.

Moonwalker approached Lian Xing, her footsteps echoing softly on the floating clouds.

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit behind Lian Xing immediately became wary.

“Xiao Xing, I have a question. Where did you get this Ancient Species?”

(*Xiao=Little* *Xing=Star*)

“If you’re not a Reincarnated Body, you should only be able to contract seven Pet Beasts.”

“And her appearance didn’t trigger your evolution to an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer…”

“It’s strange, as if… there’s a loophole in the Beast Tamer evolution rules…?”

“If your Pet Beast panel weren’t clearly a product of the Moon Soul World, I would suspect you were a reincarnated expert from another Soul World…”

Lian Xing’s breath hitched.

Indeed, even she didn’t understand. The Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit’s return hadn’t affected her Beast Taming path, as if there was a bug in the evolution rules.

Not occupying a contract slot, not occupying a Married Pet Beast slot, simply existing there.

Lian Xing had even briefly wondered if there was truly a contract between them.

But undoubtedly, this rabbit was her Ancient Species from her past life’s Beast Taming Evolution Duel. Her lecherous tendencies were proof enough.

Feeling the white-haired rabbit woman’s arms tightening around her waist from behind, Lian Xing smiled inwardly.

“Your Highness, I don’t know the details, but it’s related to the Divine Machine. I can’t reveal anything else…”

“The Divine Machine…?”

“I see. If it’s that thing, it’s not surprising.”

Moonwalker had heard of the Divine Machine cultivating special Beast Tamers.

But regardless of the truth, she didn’t care now.

On the battlefield, Lian Xing’s forceful kiss and her nonsensical rambling were, to a Pet Beast, clear mating signals.

Under the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s disapproving gaze, Moonwalker’s wedding dress dissolved into the swirling clouds as she approached the golden-haired girl.

Lian Xing gulped nervously.

At 1.6 meters tall, with her two-meter-long legs, she only reached Moonwalker’s collarbone. Her previously impressive figure was now dwarfed by Moonwalker’s mature curves, her body feeling like a large cushion.

Compared to Pet Beasts, most Beast Tamers were petite. Large Married Pet Beasts preferred this type.

Seconds later, the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit stood up, her expression serious.

She was slightly shorter than Moonwalker, but without the exaggerated high heels, her smooth, white legs, covered in white fur, and her beautiful face with delicate white eyebrows, were just as alluring.

They stared at each other, a tense atmosphere arising as they flanked the golden-haired girl. Lian Xing, sandwiched between them, felt breathless from the soft pressure against her front and back.

Moonwalker spoke first.

“Xiao Xing, though you haven’t reached Emperor-Tier, your control over your Pet Essence is beyond my expectations. If we… do that now, there shouldn’t be too much risk to your life…”

Be a little more responsible, Your Highness!

This could be fatal!

Lian Xing shivered, her spine tingling.

But it was her own fault for suggesting they compete in that aspect.

Naturally, Moonwalker and the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit had to compare their… abilities.

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit suddenly scoffed. “Those with children should go to the back of the line.”

“…”

“…”

“Heh, you misunderstand. Though I am a wife and mother, what if I’m evaluating you as a mother-in-law?” Moonwalker retorted.

The Moonlight Rabbit was stunned.

True, a wife with children wasn’t as desirable in the marriage market, but what if she offered her daughter first, then herself as a bonus? How could anyone resist?

The adorable, sweet Little Moonwalker~~~

And her charming mother-in-law. Could anyone withstand such a combination?

As Lian Xing hesitated, Moonwalker’s slender fingers brushed against her lower back.

“Yelp!”

Lian Xing’s body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Just as she was about to kowtow to Moonwalker, she was pulled up by both Moonwalker and the Ancient Rabbit, dangling like a broken doll.

Feigning paralysis was useless. Short of dying mid-act, there was no escape.

Lian Xing’s face flushed, her breath coming in hot gasps.

From that single touch, judging by the tingling in her bones, she knew her physical weakness hadn’t been fully cured. She would likely be paralyzed.

As they helped her up, Lian Xing’s eyes unfocused, her mind racing.

Was there any way…

Any way to escape this fate today?

Even if she evaded Moonwalker, the Ancient Rabbit wouldn’t let her go.

As a Married Pet Beast, it was her right and duty. With both of them together, they could at least balance each other out.

But if only one remained… Lian Xing would be doomed…

Help! Someone, save me!

Just as she was about to resign herself to her fate, a brilliant idea struck her.

“W-Wait!”

“Your Highness, Rabbit, it’s like this. I want to test not only your strength, but also the overall strength of my current lineup.”

“Shining Rabbit and Snow Flower are also my Married Pet Beasts, but Shining Rabbit is currently incapacitated, so it wouldn’t be accurate to test you separately. It would be unfair to test later.”

“So, why don’t we wait until Shining Rabbit recovers, and then I’ll test all of you together? Since Your Highness and Snow Flower are both Elemental Species, you technically don’t occupy position slots. Testing all four at once would be more convenient for me to score~~~”

Moonwalker and the Ancient Rabbit fell silent.

A score?

An evaluation from their master was indeed crucial for a Married Pet Beast.

Testing all four together would be more accurate and fair.

Though slightly reluctant, they released the petite, golden-haired girl.

Shining Rabbit would recover in a few months. As Pet Beasts at the pinnacle of power, they could wait.

Lian Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

She had survived…

Of course, she had merely delayed the inevitable. Though safe for now, she couldn’t comprehend the nonsense she had just spouted.

Scoring all four together?

Elemental Species not occupying slots?

Uh…

Let’s just say that Lian Xing, in the near future, suffered a very, very, very painful death.

Chapter 200: Lian Xing Surrounded by Married Pet Beasts, A Super Shura Field!!

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!!”

Above Storm’s flight path, silver and white blurs clashed like meteors streaking across the sky.

Deafening explosions ripped through the air, threatening to overturn everything in their path.

The shockwaves from each collision were so powerful that even the Shining Six Stars couldn’t look directly.

“What’s happening…?”

“Why is Storm fighting an Ancient Species!?”

“Could that Ancient Species be Lian Xing’s Married Pet Beast!?”

“But Lian Xing’s contract slots are full!!!!”

Not only White Abode within Heavenly Maiden, but also the spectators at the Six-pointed Star Banquet, watching the battle through the Divine Machine’s projections, shared the same thoughts.

Shining Moonlight Rabbit, Snow Flower, Calamity Sun, Star Sand, Golden Leaf, Mist Colt, and the Mechanical aura emanating from the Star Order in Lian Xing’s hand—undoubtedly, her Pet Beast slots were full.

For the Emperors present, assessing a Beast Tamer’s lineup at a glance was a basic skill.

After all, 90% of Pet Beasts had masters; only 10% were truly wild.

Having evolved through countless battles, they had to be wary not only of the visible Pet Beasts but also the opponent’s potential hidden reserves.

So, where did this eighth Pet Beast, an Ancient Species, come from…?

As everyone wondered, First Quarter and Inverse Time stood up, exchanging glances before transforming into streaks of light, leaving Sharp Edge Mountain.

“Whoosh, whoosh—!!!”

“…”

“…”

Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield, the initially even match had become one-sided.

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, with her Shining combat skill, Divine Duel, activated, was like a rampaging demon, chasing Storm relentlessly from the sky to the sea, her attacks unstoppable, giving her opponent no time to breathe.

Storm stopped compressing the world’s time flow, instead focusing all her Pet Essence inwards, creating a swirling vortex within her body. No longer interfering with her opponent’s movements, her Pet Essence was no longer affected, purely enhancing her speed.

Now, in Storm’s perception, everything else slowed down.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!”

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, with both Moon Chase and Divine Duel activated, became a white speck of light, piercing through the sky.

Her body moved relentlessly, ignoring all obstacles and frame rates. Mountains and rivers shattered in her wake, the terrain vanishing as if erased by a god, leaving the Six Stars speechless.

Who was the destructive Fallen Species again?

Storm could only evade with her extreme speed, unable to even counterattack.

Though far faster than the Ancient Species, even a glancing blow from the rabbit’s aura caused grievous injuries, sending blood spraying everywhere.

Finally, seemingly tired of dodging, Storm stopped abruptly, turning to face the approaching white speck of light and opening her mouth.

The Fallen Emperor, Imperial Wind Whispering Mausoleum Tablet.

Four million years ago, her original form had been the High-Tier Elemental Wind Feather.

Therefore, Storm’s abilities were derived from Wind Feather’s bloodline combat skills and innate traits.

[Bloodline Combat Skill—Hurricane]

“BOOM!!!!!”

A terrifying, invisible pressure erupted from her mouth.

The deafening sonic boom echoed for trillions of miles, creating spiraling patterns in the sky, distorting everything in sight and sending even the distant Six Stars flying backwards.

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit was forced to stop just inches from Storm, her body and face contorted as she was pushed back.

This wasn’t Pet Essence, but pure, distorted wind pressure!

Under Storm’s terrifying attack, the ground along her flight path shattered, the tectonic plates shifting and causing a massive earthquake across the Moon Soul World.

The sky tore open, Pet Essence vaporized.

The dust-filled flight path became shrouded in darkness.

However, after blowing away the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, Storm, instead of feeling relieved, looked around warily.

Like the lingering sensation after flushing a toilet.

Though she hadn’t seen it directly, Storm sensed she hadn’t blown the rabbit far, as if something had resisted her attack.

What had happened to that creature…?

The next second.

“Whoosh—”

The wind pressure dissipated, the sky clearing.

In the silver-crowned eagle woman’s constricting pupils, a massive, white entity, as vast as a galaxy, appeared.

Though trillions of miles away, it seemed right before her eyes!

This was a…

Supergiant Moonlight Rabbit!

And this was the Ancient Species’ true form!

Each strand of fur on the rabbit’s body was as vast as a star, its size exceeding Storm’s field of vision, comparable to the endless starry sky, rivaling even Flood, the largest being in the Moon Soul World!

This was why Storm’s bloodline combat skill hadn’t affected the Moonlight Rabbit.

The area it destroyed was less than a ten-thousandth of the rabbit’s true size!

Even the spectators at Sharp Edge Mountain could see the massive white entity rising in the sky, covering half of the Moon Soul World.

Under everyone’s gaze, Pet Essence froze.

The giant Moonlight Rabbit crouched, then inhaled deeply, instantly creating a vacuum, drawing in all the surrounding Pet Essence and circulating it through her body.

A scorching pressure emanated from her.

The ground beneath her began to sink.

For the first time… ever…

Storm felt a sense of dread, facing an opponent she couldn’t overcome, even in her molted form.

She understood why the rabbit had remained unharmed.

She realized the sheer invincibility of its physical form!

According to the law of conservation of energy, to injure the rabbit’s humanoid form, she would first have to break through its true form’s defenses…

With this size and an even greater speed and power than before, was it planning to shatter the entire Moon Soul World with a single blow!?

“…”

“…”

“Originally, according to my calculations, I would fight Sharp Edge Seven King Mother in one million two hundred fifty thousand years. If I won, I would kill the First Emperor in three million six hundred thousand years, and then challenge the Twelve Moons.”

“Good. Your appearance has saved me 90% of the time—” Storm said coldly.

Her limbs were covered in silver talons, and the wings behind her multiplied, forming two massive, sky-obscuring angelic wings.

A third eye opened on her forehead, radiating a blinding silver light that illuminated the world.

[Fallen · Eight Transformations Transcendence]

Lian Xing, watching from afar, seemed stunned.

A Fallen Species… could possess such a holy form…?

She had expected something more grotesque…

However, as thousands of bloodshot eyes opened on Storm’s angelic wings, Lian Xing quickly shut her mouth.

Never mind, forget she said anything~~~

***

At the center of the battlefield, the silent standoff between the awakened Fallen Species and the Ancient Species in its true form sent chills down everyone’s spines.

Some guests couldn’t bear to watch, turning their heads away.

The mere residual pressure emanating from them was enough to shatter the Emperor’s Hearts of those who had fought for tens of thousands of years, crushing any thought of resistance.

This collision, regardless of the outcome, would likely affect the entire Moon Soul World…

The Fallen Species’ transcendent transformation after molting.

The Shining Species’ Shining Awakening in its advanced stage.

And the Ancient Species’ true form.

This was no longer a game.

As everyone held their breath, waiting for the outcome—

“Boom!” A shining figure descended from the sky, interrupting the standoff.

As the scattered light faded, a translucent, silver-white sword casket, accompanied by seven magnificent, automatically tracking flying swords, appeared between the Fallen Species and the Ancient Species.

The Shining Emperor, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, had arrived!

However, under the incredulous gazes of countless guests, the arrogant Storm and the Moonlight Rabbit ignored her…

They continued to charge their next attacks, seemingly intending to obliterate the renowned Shining Bipole along with everything else.

Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, unfazed, waited patiently.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The next second, several figures descended from the sky, one after another.

The moment she sensed Moonwalker’s aura, Lian Xing sighed inwardly with regret.

It seemed she wouldn’t be able to settle things with Storm this time…

As expected, the Moon Soul World’s top brass wouldn’t let her steamroll through everything.

Under everyone’s gaze, a purple-haired woman with counter-clockwise rotating pupils landed behind Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, followed by a massive silver crescent moon rising in the sky.

Then, behind the golden-haired girl with twin buns, amidst swirling clouds, a beautiful woman with deer hooves and a wedding dress gently embraced her.

Heavenly Maiden leaned back slightly as a blue-haired, bare-legged ice beauty landed silently behind her, gently stroking her white hair like a mother.

The Second Guardian, Inverse Time.

Master of the Three Saints Palace, First Quarter.

The Third Guardian, Moonwalker.

The Fourth Guardian, Cold Moon.

Four Guardian-level experts had arrived at once, with Sharp Edge Seven King Mother as the grand finale.

Both Storm and the Moonlight Rabbit fell silent.

Whoever attacked first would become the target of everyone present.

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, unconcerned, glanced at the golden-haired girl in the distance, then glared at the white deer woman whose hand was on the girl’s chest.

Lian Xing shook her head at the Ancient Rabbit.

It seemed a decisive victory wasn’t possible this time.

There would be other opportunities…

Once Mist Colt and her other Pet Beasts reached Emperor-Tier, she could simply drag her targets into the viral world and gang up on them.

That way, she wouldn’t affect the Moon Soul World’s landscape or its innocent inhabitants.

“Stop fighting~~~”

“Please stop fighting~~~”

“You two, let it go. Even if one of you wins, you’ll be weakened, and others will take advantage. Like me…”

“Can you guarantee you won’t be injured after defeating your opponent?” Inverse Time said, trying to mediate.

Like me…?

Who are you kidding? You’re a nobody.

Storm, ignoring Inverse Time, sneered and gave the Moonlight Rabbit a menacing look.

It was as if she was asking, “Want to team up and kill these annoying pests before we settle this?”

However…

The next second, under everyone’s bewildered gazes, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s attention shifted.

The white-haired rabbit woman, back in her humanoid form, returned to Lian Xing’s side, grabbing the white deer woman’s hand with a hostile expression.

Then, something even stranger happened.

Under everyone’s confused stares, including Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s—

Moonwalker, a Guardian, instead of mediating, pulled Lian Xing closer, refusing to let go.

A tense atmosphere arose between the two powerful Pet Beasts.

Seriously? You just fought Storm, and now you’re picking a fight with Moonwalker!?

Lian Xing, caught between them, felt helpless.

If the Ancient Rabbit were an ordinary Pet Beast, she could order it to stand down. But Married Pet Beasts didn’t obey forced commands; they acted on their own whims.

Moonwalker recognized the Moonlight Rabbit’s status as a Married Pet Beast.

Though she didn’t understand how Lian Xing, without a Reincarnated Body, had acquired an eighth Pet Beast, she wouldn’t let the rabbit take Lian Xing away.

Just as a second battle was about to erupt—

The fickle, golden-haired girl pulled both the white deer woman and the white-haired rabbit woman into her arms, kissing each of them.

“Let me introduce you. This is Rabbit, my wife, my First Married Pet Beast.”

“And this is Moonwalker, my… bed partner…”

“As people who have shared the same… cannon… I mean, as fellow connoisseurs, please don’t fight~~~”

“After all, I value… that aspect more than pure strength, you know…”

Before she could finish her rambling, nonsensical explanation, Lian Xing realized her mistake.

Judging by her inopportune slip of the tongue, she would be crippled, at the very least.

Chapter 199: Lian Xing Gets Kissed Again!!!

Under the watchful gaze of countless eyes, as the dust settled and the unbelievable scene unfolded, every being present stared in disbelief.

The golden-haired girl, who should have been crushed by the Ancient Species’ impact, was now being held like a large doll.

In this world where Beast Tamers were commonplace, this wasn’t unusual.

After all, Pet Beasts protecting their masters was natural.

But this was a Myriad-Level Ancient Emperor!

Disbelief, shock, confusion, bewilderment—Storm, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, the guests, the Six Stars—everyone wore a complex expression.

Only the golden-haired girl in the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s arms remained calm and composed, as if this were an everyday occurrence.

Indeed, Lian Xing had been protected like this countless times by the Moonlight Rabbit during her Beast Taming Evolution Duel days.

But back then, the Moonlight Rabbit wasn’t an Ancient Species, and Lian Xing wasn’t… well, this.

Taking advantage of the physical contact, Lian Xing quickly checked the rabbit’s panel. As expected, there seemed to be a slight bug.

Not only was she not occupying a Married Pet Beast slot, but she wasn’t even taking up a regular contract slot, yet she appeared on Lian Xing’s Pet Beast panel like a cheat code.

It seemed there was still much Lian Xing didn’t understand about companion Pet Beasts.

Regardless…

For now, she had to focus on dealing with Storm—

Just as Lian Xing was about to issue a command to the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, the white-haired rabbit woman’s beautiful face appeared before her.

Seeing the rabbit’s face approaching, Lian Xing struggled violently.

They were in public! No matter how urgent, they should wait until they were home!

But against a Married Pet Beast, resistance was futile.

As everyone watched in disbelief, the golden-haired girl was kissed forcefully by the Ancient Rabbit.

Storm, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, Heavenly Maiden, the Six Stars, First Quarter, Inverse Time, and the other guests were all stunned.

Seconds later, the girl’s golden hair cascaded down as the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit gently set her down.

As Lian Xing regained her footing, she blushed and wiped her lips.

Why did all these Married Pet Beasts like to kiss her by force…?

It wasn’t that she objected.

But couldn’t they at least wait until they were alone…!?

The next second—

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, satisfied, slowly raised her head, her vacant white eyes fixated on the stunned Storm.

An invisible pressure spread, enveloping the Fallen Species’ flight path.

“…”

“…”

“BOOM!!!!!”

A deafening roar.

The landscape behind the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit collapsed, obliterated by a world-shattering white blast. Then, the rabbit woman leaped into the air like a rocket, her body transforming into a speck of light, hurtling forward like a comet at superluminal speed.

The silver-haired eagle woman with the crown assumed a defensive stance.

“Whoosh—”

Time froze.

The moment their auras clashed, time in the entire Moon Soul World slowed to a crawl, the Moonlight Rabbit’s movements becoming sluggish, eventually freezing before Storm’s eyes.

Storm slowly extended a wing.

“Crack!!”

The sharp, silver wing slammed down, slicing across the white-haired rabbit woman’s body like a sword.

However, the next second, as Storm’s pupils constricted, her own silver wings shattered, scattering into countless fragments.

“…”

“…”

“BOOM!!!!”

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, with unstoppable force, shattered Storm’s compressed aura, piercing through her body like a sword.

Before the battered, silver-haired eagle woman could regenerate, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit grabbed her by the wing, dragging her through the sky in a dizzying 360-degree spin.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Under everyone’s gaze, silver feathers scattered like rain.

Storm’s body was flung around, unable to gather Pet Essence, her vision a blur.

The two figures spun like a whirling dervish, from Storm’s flight path to tens of thousands of miles away and back again, obliterating everything in their path.

Mountains crumbled, rivers vanished.

Everything, whether Emperors or other matter, seemed as fragile as paper.

Finally, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, radiating a brilliant white light, plummeted towards the ground with Storm, detonating in the planet’s core.

“BOOM!!!!!”

“…”

“…”

A massive, paw-shaped mushroom cloud erupted, the shockwave nearly sending everyone, even Lian Xing, flying, despite being tens of thousands of miles away.

Silence fell over the Six-pointed Star Banquet venue at Sharp Edge Mountain as they watched the terrifying shockwave engulf their vision.

Storm, the leader of the Four Great Calamities, the Fallen Species… had been utterly defeated, unable to even fight back!

[Divine Duel (Shining Combat Skill)]

[In Divine Duel state, the body negates all auras on contact.]

At the center of the former battlefield, the golden-haired girl, holding her wildly flowing hair, calmly observed the scene.

Divine Duel, one of the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s three Shining combat skills.

No matter how strange or powerful the enemy’s abilities, they were useless.

The moment any energy fluctuation or aura touched the Moonlight Rabbit’s body, it was negated, an unreasonable counter to everything.

However, this was the first time the Moonlight Rabbit had used this skill in her Ancient Species form.

With this, the battle between them and Storm should be over…

Chapter 198: Ancient Battles Fallen, Whose Married Pet Beast Is This!? p2

Not only the Emperor guests, but even First Quarter and Inverse Time felt a chill run down their spines.

If they had been in Storm’s place, that first contact would have been fatal…

“Whoosh—!!!!!”

Before Storm could recover, a blinding white speck of light reappeared in her constricting eagle eyes, amidst collapsing mountains and rivers.

This was a bloodline ability Storm had never seen before.

No matter how far she was knocked back, the opponent would instantly reappear before her, a nightmare for any ranged Pet Beast.

But as Storm condensed and compressed her Pet Essence, the white speck of light surrounding the Moonlight Rabbit froze.

Not only the Moonlight Rabbit, but also the observing Sharp Edge Seven King Mother and even the guests at the Six-pointed Star Banquet were frozen in time.

The Bubble World, the Moon Soul World, Ancient Species, Shining Species, even Drought, Flood, and Volcano among the Four Great Fallen Calamities—the entire world had been stopped!

Only one remained active…

Storm, Imperial Wind Whispering Mausoleum Tablet!!!

This was Storm’s ability: to manipulate the flow of time in the entire Pet Beast World with her sheer Pet Essence density!

Within her active time, no being could be faster!!!

“Bang!!!!”

Storm backhanded the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, who had activated her signature ability, Moon Chase, sending her flying.

But less than a second after time resumed, she compressed her Pet Essence again, stopping time once more.

The silver-haired eagle woman frowned, staring at the white speck of light before her.

Though the landscape for hundreds of trillions of miles behind the rabbit was shattered, she had reappeared instantly. Had she reversed her momentum mid-flight?

How was that possible…?

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!!!”

A barrage of wing strikes echoed, the terrifying tremors spreading trillions of miles from Storm’s flight path.

The world in the spectators’ eyes was rapidly crumbling.

They couldn’t even perceive the slowed time, only watching as the white speck and the silver eagle woman clashed repeatedly, the spatial rifts between them widening, the landscape behind the Ancient Species being obliterated.

On the surface, Storm seemed to have the upper hand.

Seemed…

Yes, even Gem Concubine and Heavenly Maiden couldn’t see the details of the battle.

Every image in their eyes was severely lagging.

Only Lian Xing, through the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura, could glimpse snippets of the fight.

Storm’s speed was truly astonishing. Even though the Ancient Rabbit could close the distance to within a meter in an instant, Storm would instantly intercept and counterattack, sending her flying with even greater force.

But this was futile…

The Ancient Rabbit had initially been intercepted a meter away, but after thirty clashes, she was practically touching Storm’s eyelashes.

Finally, on the forty-seventh clash, Storm’s Pet Essence compression couldn’t keep up, and she was kicked away by the relentless Moonlight Rabbit.

“BOOM!!!”

“BOOM!!!!!”

Hundreds of billions of mountains and rivers were pulverized by the silver-haired eagle woman’s retreating body.

Before Storm could react, the pursuing white speck of light arrived, a powerful kick turning the world for billions of miles ahead into dust.

The battered, silver-haired eagle woman flew backwards through the sky. Seeing the white speck approaching again, she quickly shifted her form, compressing her Pet Essence.

“Whoosh—”

Just in time, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit was frozen in time again.

Storm’s injuries healed instantly, and she spun 360 degrees, her wings striking the Moonlight Rabbit’s body thousands of times like a whirling dervish.

Ripples spread across the Moonlight Rabbit’s body.

The moment time resumed, she would be severely injured.

However, as Storm’s eyes twitched, she saw the Ancient cells within the Moonlight Rabbit’s bloodline absorb the energy from her attacks.

“BOOM!!!”

Time resumed.

Thousands of shockwaves rippled across the Moonlight Rabbit’s body as she was sent flying backwards, crashing through trillions of miles of sky and Pet Essence, the most powerful impact yet.

However, this time, Storm, stunned, failed to activate her time manipulation in time.

Before she could react, a massive maw appeared from the void.

Bloodline combat skill, Eclipse!!!

In an instant, everything within trillions of miles of Storm, including the surrounding landscape, was devoured, leaving only the silver-haired eagle woman’s head.

“Bang!!!!”

The Ancient Rabbit reappeared like a ghost, kicking Storm’s head and tearing a crescent-shaped rift in the sky.

Only a silver eagle claw crown fell from the sky.

Just as everyone stared blankly, believing the battle was over—

“Hum—”

Time in the entire Pet Beast World slowed once more.

Storm’s body reformed in the void, calmly catching her crown and placing it back on her head.

The battle between the Myriad-Level Ancient Species and the Fallen Emperor wasn’t over…

This wasn’t a fight that could be decided quickly.

The longest battle in everyone’s memory was between Inverse Time, a Guardian, and Drought, one of the Four Great Calamities.

Back then, as former companions under Star Goddess, they had fought for nine months before a victor emerged.

Even after losing Calamity Sun, Drought hadn’t searched for it. The two Pet Beasts had simply fought relentlessly until their Pet Essence was completely depleted, their battle finally stopped by Sharp Edge Seven King Mother.

This battle between Storm and the Ancient Rabbit would likely last even longer!

Under everyone’s awestruck gaze, Storm, her body restored, clashed with the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit again after less than a second of eye contact.

“BOOM!!!”

“BOOM!!!!!”

First, the Moonlight Rabbit was sent flying across most of Storm’s flight path.

Then, Storm was kicked back, battered and bruised.

Just two brief clashes had vaporized everything around them, even shaking the Shining Six Stars to their cores, their heads throbbing as if their souls were about to escape.

Each collision between the two caused countless beings in the Moon Soul World to faint or vanish.

Mountains crumbled, lives were lost.

No one could stop their carnage…

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—”

Storm, her body a streamlined, silver feather, began to accelerate, clashing repeatedly with the white speck of light surrounding the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit.

They fought from Storm’s flight path to the edge of the Moon Soul World, even crossing the paths of other Fallen Species.

Wherever they went, the air crackled, the ground shattered, and shockwaves rippled outwards, even affecting Moonwalker’s Cloud Mist Sea.

However, Storm was subconsciously returning to her designated path, so they would reappear at the original battlefield every few seconds after devastating other areas.

“Incredible…” Gem Concubine muttered, witnessing this incomprehensible battle.

She considered herself the strongest Monarch-Tier Pet Beast.

But what did that even mean?

Before these two devastating beings, she was no different from a blade of grass or a speck of dust.

Could she withstand even a single blow from them?

No, absolutely not…

She couldn’t even touch Storm in her unmolted form!

If not for Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s protection, the Six Stars would have been annihilated!

Meanwhile, only one person in the entire Pet Beast World was secretly rejoicing.

Lian Xing.

She never imagined that the Ancient Species she had spent three years and all her resources cultivating in her past life’s Beast Taming Evolution Duel could be this powerful.

Even against Storm, the leader of the Four Great Calamities, she held her own!

But amidst her joy, Lian Xing felt a slight unease.

She had never activated erotic mode in her past life’s Beast Taming Evolution Duel.

Though the big rabbit occasionally did strange things to her virtual avatar, the process was always skipped since the feature was disabled.

After all, she was a popular Beast Taming streamer. Others could see the number of times she had mated with her Married Pet Beasts and her pregnancy status on her character panel.

Even if she was curious, she wouldn’t risk her reputation.

But now…

After the battle between the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit and Storm concluded, what would happen as her Married Pet Beast…?

Lian Xing gulped nervously.

The Shining Rabbit was currently incapacitated.

But after defeating Heartless Purgatory Life, she was on the verge of breaking through to Monarch-Tier.

Then, Lian Xing would be forced to fulfill the Married Pet Beast contract.

And Snow Flower, Ice Attendant Snow Youluo, who had just reached Monarch-Tier, also seemed interested in her Married Pet Beast slot.

Was her purity about to be lost…?

But an Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, a Shining Rabbit, and a high-ranking Legend… it wasn’t a bad deal…

Recalling the dazed state of her friends who indulged in erotic mode, Lian Xing felt a mix of anxiety and excitement, like a first-time seller being bought for the first time, bathing in a hotel room.

However—

As Lian Xing was lost in thought—

“BOOM!!!”

A deafening roar.

As the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit was sent flying by Storm again, her body hurtled towards the Six Stars.

Mountains and rivers crumbled in her wake. Gem Concubine and the others couldn’t react before sensing the imminent threat of death.

And Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s flying swords began to crack from the impact.

“Whoosh—!!!!!”

As the guests watched in horror, the flying sword carrying Heavenly Maiden and Lian Xing was shattered, along with everything behind them!

The other Six Stars stared in disbelief.

After a second of stunned silence, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s sword casket trembled violently, her gaze fixed on Storm with uncontainable rage.

Sensing Sharp Edge Seven King Mother’s escalating aura, the silver-haired eagle woman frowned.

Storm and Sharp Edge Seven King Mother had clashed countless times during Star Goddess’s era. Storm knew Seven King Mother’s strength well.

However, after Star Goddess’s death, Sharp Edge Seven King Mother, without her Triple Awakening, wasn’t as terrifying.

But even so, if she joined forces with that Ancient Species, Storm would struggle to escape unscathed.

What puzzled Storm even more was…

This time, after being knocked away, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit didn’t immediately return, instead stopping her attack.

What was going on? Her attack hadn’t been that powerful!

With the rabbit’s defenses, she shouldn’t have even lost a single hair!!!

“Whoosh—!!!!!”

However…

The next second, as the dust settled, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The Six Stars, Storm, even Sharp Edge Seven King Mother—everyone froze.

The guests stared in shock.

Inverse Time and First Quarter wore expressions of utter bewilderment.

How… how was this possible…!?

Under everyone’s gaze…

As the dust cleared, they saw the white-haired Heavenly Maiden cowering behind a massive cloud fox, her eyes tightly shut.

Not far from the frightened Heavenly Maiden stood the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit.

In her arms, she held the starry-eyed, golden-haired girl in a princess carry.

Countless times before, she had had the opportunity to avoid harming innocent bystanders, but she hadn’t bothered. This time, however…

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit was carefully, tenderly holding Lian Xing in her arms.

In the ensuing silence, even Storm’s assault ceased.

So, whose Married Pet Beast was she?

The answer, it seemed, was clear to everyone…

Chapter 198: Ancient Battles Fallen, Whose Married Pet Beast Is This!? p1

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, made a shocking entrance!

Under the watchful gaze of countless eyes, the Shining Six Stars and even Storm, the Fallen Emperor, fell into an eerie silence.

Sharp Edge Seven King Mother stopped from trillions of miles away, stunned by the terrifying aura that flashed past.

This creature… was targeting Storm…?

The next second—

A wave of scorching air swept across the battlefield.

The white-haired rabbit woman, exhaling hot breath, emerged unscathed from the devastation wrought by Storm, her powerful life aura rippling outwards.

Her long, white fur flowed wildly.

Her vacant eyes seemed to disregard everything in the world.

Her pink, white ears stood erect like stalks of straw, unlike the drooping ears common among the Moonlight Rabbit species.

Her aura’s range couldn’t compare to a Shining Species, and her Pet Essence density was less than a trillionth of a Fallen Species.

However, this meager Pet Essence, condensed and compressed around her body, fueled the rapid combustion within her, each translucent cell seemingly possessing the mass of a universe.

Each breath she took radiated a pressure that made everyone present struggle for air, their scalps tingling with a near-numbing sensation.

Within Heavenly Maiden, Tian Xueyi…

After a long silence, White Abode let out a hoarse, terrified roar, its voice as if constricted.

“This is a…”

“Myriad-Level Ancient Species!!!!!”

“Impossible! Where did she come from? How could a Myriad-Level Ancient Species appear without a trace!?”

“Xueyi, run! You’ll be caught in the crossfire between her and Storm…”

Despite White Abode’s frantic warning, Heavenly Maiden remained frozen like a puppet, unable to process the words.

No, that wasn’t it.

Heavenly Maiden wanted to retreat.

But under the Ancient Species’ overwhelming aura, she couldn’t even gather a shred of Pet Essence. Her body trembled uncontrollably, even her flawless Shining Species wavering.

Compared to the other Shining Species among the Six Stars, Heavenly Maiden had avoided and fled from battles the most, yet she had still transcended the will of Shining, achieving Shining evolution for her Pet Beast.

Most of the time, she hadn’t actually felt the need to avoid combat, simply obeying White Abode’s commands.

She hadn’t feared the enemies that worried White Abode, believing she hadn’t reached her limit. This confidence was the reason she had become a Shining Species Beast Tamer.

But this time was different…

Genuine fear and uncertainty paralyzed her, rendering her unable to move even a finger or eyelid.

The other Shining Six Stars were similarly affected. Caught in the center of the two powerful beings’ clashing auras, they couldn’t escape, trapped in a massive, destructive vortex, their bodies and wills no longer their own.

However…

At that moment, a pair of delicate hands gently embraced Heavenly Maiden from behind.

As Tian Xueyi and White Abode watched in disbelief, the golden-haired girl with twin buns sat casually on the Shining fox’s back, her arms around Heavenly Maiden as if riding on a motorcycle.

“What are you waiting for? Want to be crushed? Run!” Lian Xing asked with a smile.

“…”

“…”

“Oh, okay…” Heavenly Maiden responded belatedly.

The next second, the Shining fox soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of white light.

The other Six Stars, reacting a moment later, scattered in all directions, leaving the battlefield to the Fallen Species and the Ancient Species.

As the Shining Species fled, Storm didn’t even react, calmly letting the group of Monarch-Tier Shining Species escape.

Her terrifying eagle eyes were fixed solely on the white-haired rabbit woman.

Storm had never encountered such a remarkable being.

Every inch of her smooth, supple skin seemed like a meticulously crafted work of art, her Pet Essence cells condensed to their purest form, like a walking black hole.

After a long, silent standoff, Storm opened her massive beak, a vortex of reversed wind pressure gathering within.

The white-haired rabbit woman also opened her mouth.

But she didn’t gather any Pet Essence, simply opening her mouth slightly.

In that instant, all the surrounding Pet Essence and air froze, an invisible pressure sweeping across trillions upon trillions of kilometers.

As Storm’s pupils constricted, all the air and Pet Essence around the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit was instantly sucked into her lungs…

Have you ever heard a rabbit’s roar?

“…”

“…”

“YIIIIIIIII!!!!!”

A piercing shriek erupted from the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, like a scorching shockwave.

The surrounding world began to crumble and disintegrate.

Like a detonating sun.

All beings within billions of billions of miles were knocked unconscious.

Mountains crumbled, the sky collapsed.

The shockwave shattered the distant Sharp Edge Mountain, even shaking the Three Saints Palace and Cloud Mist Sea further away.

Ordinary Emperors instantly bled from their seven orifices and died.

Those below Emperor-Tier were vaporized, not even a speck of ash remaining.

As the Six Stars were about to be engulfed, seven flashes of sword light appeared, carrying them away from the disaster zone.

After a full minute, the earth-shattering tremors subsided. The Six Stars, riding on Seven King Mother’s sword casket, stared in disbelief at the scene of utter devastation.

Not only had the Pet Essence in the sky vanished, but even the mountains and rivers below Storm’s flight path had been obliterated.

At Sharp Edge Mountain, the Six-pointed Star Banquet venue, the guests stared in horror and despair.

Even Inverse Time(Reverse Time) and First Quarter exchanged glances, unable to suppress their shock.

“Bloodline combat skill, Howling Moon…”

“This is an Ancient Species evolved from a Moonlight Rabbit!!!”

“Another Moonlight Rabbit…?”

“No, more importantly, whose damn Married Pet Beast is this!?”

Having sensed the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit’s state, First Quarter and Inverse Time realized almost simultaneously…

This Myriad-Level Ancient Moonlight Rabbit wasn’t wild…

She was someone’s Married Pet Beast!

Lian Xing, the culprit and mastermind behind this, also realized this.

Her Married Pet Beast contract with the Moonlight Rabbit hadn’t been dissolved!

And it wasn’t occupying one of her current life’s Married Pet Beast slots…

No wonder this rabbit had been running around so far away without sharing her consciousness or vision…

Of course, Lian Xing solemnly swore she had never activated the erotic mode in her past life’s Beast Taming Evolution Duel. Her relationship with the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit had been purely platonic.

As the dust settled, the spectators were stunned.

Having taken the Moonlight Rabbit’s world-shattering roar head-on, Storm’s invincible body had been reduced to a grotesque skeleton, only a hollow, eerie eagle skeleton remaining, all flesh vaporized, her unfinished attack extinguished.

Storm… had been instantly killed…?

This absurd scene shattered everyone’s perceptions.

Storm and Sharp Edge Seven King Mother were considered equals in power.

If Storm had been instantly killed, wouldn’t Sharp Edge Seven King Mother suffer the same fate!?

First Quarter, however, stood up anxiously, contacting Inverse Time. “Second Guardian, should we intervene? Storm is about to molt!!!”

“Intervene my ass! Can’t you see Seven King Mother is watching?”

“Besides, even if Storm molts, I don’t think it will change the outcome…” Inverse Time replied, shaking her head with a complex expression.

This Myriad-Level Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s power was beyond their comprehension.

Perhaps she could even fight a Fallen Species in its true form…?

Meanwhile, along Storm’s flight path…

After obliterating Storm, the white-haired rabbit woman didn’t leave, instead staring intently at Storm’s skeleton.

Seconds later, the swirling wind blades around the skeleton began to reform, not as an outline, but flowing into the bones themselves.

Storm’s massive, star-sized body began to shrink, rapidly becoming smaller than an ordinary Mid-Tier Pet Beast, eventually condensing into a graceful, humanoid form.

The woman’s naked, creamy-white skin was as smooth as butter, three silver feathers barely covering her front. A cascade of silver hair flowed down from the sky, engulfing the star-filled river of light for tens of thousands of miles.

Judging by her incredibly thick hair, she hadn’t had a haircut in millions of years.

A silver eagle claw crown adorned her head.

Two massive silver wings, their edges lined with sharp blades, slowly unfurled behind her.

Though now humanoid, her eyes remained vacant and dim, even radiating a hint of pity.

Pity for all the insignificant beings in the world.

Storm, true form revealed…

[Fallen Species—Overlord—Imperial Wind Whispering Mausoleum Tablet]

[LV23920—Foremost of the Moon Soul World]

Unlike the awakened state of Shining Species or the level-less Ancient Species, Fallen Species were unique in their molting!

In their unmolted state, they unconsciously destroyed everything along their flight path, rapidly increasing their level and Pet Essence density.

Lacking consciousness, these weren’t deliberate acts of destruction, so their leveling speed was incredibly fast.

While Shining and Ancient Species barely reached level ten thousand, the Four Great Calamities were all around level twenty thousand!

But the drawback of this leveling method was their inability to regain consciousness.

Someone had to kill them in their first stage for them to molt into their true form!

Then, after eliminating the threat, they would lose consciousness again, resuming their endless patrol along their designated flight path until the end of time…

Between the white-haired rabbit woman and the silver-haired eagle woman, all Pet Essence and air were distorted and chaotic, making it impossible for ordinary beings to breathe.

“What era is this…?”

“How long has it been since Star Goddess’s death?”

“Where did this creature come from, and whose Married Pet Beast is she!?” Storm muttered, staring at the white-haired rabbit woman with confusion.

Her questions, of course, went unanswered.

All beings within trillions of miles had been blown away by the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit’s roar.

As for the white-haired rabbit woman…

She didn’t know either~~~

“BOOM!!!”

The next second, an explosive cloud of energy erupted, a destructive shockwave like a supernova sweeping outwards.

As everyone watched in stunned silence, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, transformed into a white speck of light, collided with Storm.

One of Storm’s silver wings instinctively blocked the white-haired rabbit woman’s path, deflecting her slightly.

However, as the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit flew backwards for billions of miles, the silver-haired eagle woman suddenly coughed up blood.

A distorted rabbit paw print appeared on her smooth, white abdomen.

Bloodline combat skill, Moon Crushing!!!

Unlike Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s Moon Crushing, the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit’s attack had pierced straight through Storm’s body!!!

“…”

“…”

Silence fell over the arena.

Chapter 197: Fallen Battles Shining, Moonlight Rabbit Emerges!!! 

“Before her, you won’t even have a single hair left!!!”

Lian Xing’s crazed declaration filled the silent arena. Inside Storm, the monstrous Fallen Species, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon stood revealed in its triple-awakened glory: golden ears tied in a bow, a full moon orbiting overhead, a starry robe draped around its fluffy form.

The Seven King Mother, witnessing this, rose from her seat, her sword box form trembling.

“A Third Stage Awakening!? The Eleventh Zodiac…!!!”

The Eleventh Zodiac predated even the Star Goddess by millions of years.

The Star Goddess, having conquered all but the First Emperor, sought to leave this world, seeking the Eleventh Zodiac’s legacy. But the Eleventh Zodiac appeared, declaring “It is not time,” and defeated her.

After the Star Goddess’s death, her strongest companion perished challenging the First Emperor. Another companion became a Fallen Species, Drought, one of the Four Disasters, banished by the Eleventh Zodiac. Reverse Time and the Seven King Mother became a Sanctuary Guardian and one of the Shining Duo.

“Not time… what is time…?” the Seven King Mother mused.

Even the Star Goddess, inheriting a fraction of its power, achieving Third Stage Awakening, had been defeated.

And this Lian Xing…was she the Eleventh Zodiac’s new chosen one…?

Could she replace the Star Goddess…?

Reverse Time and the Seven King Mother, once the Star Goddess’s pet beasts, felt a surge of complex emotions.

Meanwhile, White Abode, within Heavenly Maiden, exclaimed,

[How…!? She’s Royal-Tier, but her aura rivals a Monarch-Tier Fallen!?]

White Abode didn’t recognize the Third Stage Awakening. The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, its body radiating light, stepped into Heartless Purgatory Life’s aura, a blood-red horse with twelve eyes.

The Fallen Species, sensing its opponent’s fading life force, prepared for a final attack.

Two more hits, and the Shining Species would be gone.

Moonlight Rabbit gathered its power, a golden sphere of [Infinite Waxing and Waning] forming.

Heartless Purgatory Life opened its mouth, a blood-red energy sphere emerging.

“Boom!!!!”

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

The attacks clashed, the storm within Storm dissipating, the lice turning to dust.

The shockwave sent Snow Flower, Golden Leaf, Heavenly Maiden, and Jade Crown Great King flying.

White Abode caught Heavenly Maiden. Star Sand had released White Abode’s seal; it knew what was coming.

The red horse emerged from the dust, its wounds instantly healing.

The Shining Species had one throw left. Then its Shining path would end.

But the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon also emerged, its aura even more terrifying. It looked at the Fallen Species, Heartless Purgatory Life.

Its first throw had been just a test.

This second throw, it would risk everything.

[Ten Intentions Annihilation triggered. One throw remaining.]

[Sand Toss, Twilight, Divine Harvest, Raging Wind, Star Plucker, Heavenly Jade Mirror, Cinnabar, Snow-Blowing Fan, Wrist Bone Duel, Lunar Crash. This throw will randomly gain 50% of one of these Black Quality combat skills’ power. Heavenly Jade Mirror excluded, as it is already possessed.]

[Result: Divine Harvest (Black, single-use). Negates distance-based damage reduction, converting it into an 8x (4x) multiplier.]

As Moonlight Rabbit prepared its throw, the spectators held their breath. They recognized Ten Intentions Annihilation. A suicidal gambit. Victory or infamy.

“Are you ready?”

Lian Xing asked, knowing this might be their last conversation. If they won, this Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon would be gone. If they lost, Moonlight Rabbit would lose its Shining form.

“I will win. I will defeat the Fallen Species.” Moonlight Rabbit’s voice was filled with determination.

The first throw had been a warm-up.

This second throw, it would stake everything.

“Boom!!!!!”

Bathed in a brilliant light, Moonlight Rabbit stepped before Heartless Purgatory Life, consuming First Quarter’s crystal fragment, then holding the black, demonic-horned iron ball, Calamity Sun.

Golden spheres, like soap bubbles, rose around it, connected by starry lines. Black combat skills enveloped it, Piercing Moon Lances, Cold Moon Halberds, and countless Waxing and Waning moons, turning it into a golden hedgehog. Even the orbiting moon sprouted golden ears. Golden flames and shockwaves smoothed the terrain. Its aura, overwhelming, distorted the space around it.

One throw.

One final throw.

And this would be Moonlight Rabbit’s strongest throw yet.

Its body, gradually fading in the colorless world within Storm, it looked back at Lian Xing.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A blinding flash, a world-shattering explosion.

And…

The king of throwing combat skills…

The Black Quality Heavenly Jade Mirror!!!

[Heavenly Jade Mirror: After throwing, severs the space along the trajectory. All targets within the reflected area are shattered, and the final target takes multiple shattering damage.]

“Boom!!!!!” An unprecedented explosion of light and energy.

As the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s body disintegrated, Devilish Smile, the Royal-Tier Calamity Sun, like a shining meteor, shot towards the horizon.

Moonlight Rabbit’s final throw…

Heartless Purgatory Life sensed its death, realizing it had been tricked. The first throw had been a feint. It braced itself, its aura condensing.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!” As the black, demonic iron ball struck, Heartless Purgatory Life’s vision twisted, its body arching like a shrimp.

An unimaginable impact. The black beam sent it flying, its Fallen aura shattering. Calamity Sun, spiraling, carried the Fallen Species across billions of kilometers, tearing holes in Storm’s body, incinerating lice in its path.

Not only the horse, but also the space on either side of its wings began to crumble. A path tens of trillions of kilometers long, carved by light and the black iron ball.

“A Royal-Tier, achieving a throw comparable to Drought’s… How can I lose!? I have to kill it!!!” Calamity Sun, its speed increasing thanks to Divine Harvest, friction against Heartless Purgatory Life’s body accelerating it further. A Monarch-Tier aura emanated from within it. The horse coughed up a mouthful of blood, its abdomen shattered, its life crystal cracking. It tried to land, but Moonlight Rabbit’s throw was too powerful, its body pierced.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom——!!!!!” The black beam raged through Storm, scattering the winds. Heavenly Maiden, Gem Concubine, Southern Queen, Ice Emperor, Fire Kasaya, all the Six Stars members, stared at the black sphere tearing through Storm. This speed…they could only watch… Even Gem Concubine couldn’t intervene.

At the Six-Point Banquet, everyone watched as Heartless Purgatory Life, which had just crushed Jade Crown Great King, Snow Flower, and Golden Leaf, was now helpless before Moonlight Rabbit’s throw.

“Before her, you won’t even have a single hair left…” they remembered Lian Xing’s words.

Would this little Fallen Species die? Heartless Purgatory Life, Gem Concubine’s rival for eons…would it be defeated by a Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit in their first encounter!?

Under everyone’s gaze, Calamity Sun pierced Heartless Purgatory Life’s life crystal! A normal pet beast would have fainted, but the Fallen Species, a cruel smile on its lips, knew that as long as its crystal wasn’t completely destroyed, it could regenerate.

But then its eyes widened. It couldn’t move, still being dragged along by Calamity Sun.

Why…hadn’t the attack ended…? Moonlight Rabbit’s life force was gone…

Had the throw also ended…?

No, it hadn’t!!!

It wouldn’t end until Heartless Purgatory Life was completely annihilated. Calamity Sun’s penetration was just the beginning.

[Dark Night (Enemies within vision range cannot dodge. Those who try take 200% damage.)]

[Moon Dance (Throwing trajectory remains. Projectiles can cycle along it.)]

“Roar!!!!!”

Heartless Purgatory Life roared, struggling, a blood-red aura erupting, but it couldn’t stop Calamity Sun. Then, it saw countless golden suns appearing in the distance, following Calamity Sun’s trajectory, the giant Waxing and Waning spheres, guided by the orbiting moon, closing in.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

A carpet bombing of golden explosions rocked Storm, each impact amplified by Divine Harvest, an endless, inescapable hell.

If Star Plucker’s ball specialization, Divine Harvest’s acceleration, Heavenly Jade Mirror’s power, and Moon-Pounding, combined with other throwing enhancements, were meant to shatter Heartless Purgatory Life’s crystal…then this endless barrage of Infinite Waxing and Waning Flurry, powered by Moon Dance and Dark Night, was meant to completely incinerate it!!!

“Snow Flower, Golden Leaf, stop it!!!” Calamity Sun cried out as Heartless Purgatory Life was engulfed in the golden light. Snow Flower, understanding, crushed its Star Order, teleporting back to Lian Xing’s Star Gate. Before it could even see clearly, a black meteor, followed by a barrage of Shining crescent moons, shot past.

Facing this terrifying attack, Snow Flower swung its tail.

“Nether Severance!!!”

“Boom!!!!”

The already injured Heartless Purgatory Life was bisected by Golden Leaf’s black blade.

Golden Leaf was shattered, and Snow Flower was sent flying, but the blood-red horse, also injured by the impact and Snow Flower’s interruption, which had negated Divine Harvest, was now vulnerable.

[Moon Dance!!!]

At this moment, Calamity Sun, now Monarch-Tier, unleashed Moonlight Rabbit’s final dance. Its trajectory reversed, slamming into Heartless Purgatory Life from behind, sending it back into the rain of crescent moons.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

The barrage of energy and the black iron ball collided. In a flash of Shining light, Calamity Sun pierced through everything, shattering Heartless Purgatory Life’s crystal, only a few fragments remaining.

A few minutes later, as Calamity Sun returned, guided by Moon Dance, the energy dissipated, the dreamlike starlight swirling around the golden-haired girl like fireflies, a breathtaking sight. Heavenly Maiden, hidden behind White Abode, and all the guests at the Six-Point Banquet, they were all stunned.

Lian Xing, Star Concubine, she had succeeded…

She had sacrificed her Shining Species for this unprecedented attack!!!

How could she be so reckless…!?

Had she not considered that failure meant the end of her Shining path!?

Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing caught the falling Calamity Sun and, with a satisfied smile, recalled it. Having destroyed Heartless Purgatory Life, Calamity Sun had reached Monarch-Tier, becoming Lian Xing’s first Monarch-Tier pet beast.

[Monarch-Tier — Weapon Species — Neverending Tower]

Lian Xing now had a new contract slot. She extended her hand towards the approaching Snow Flower. Back in their old world, Lian Xing’s first offer had been rejected, but Snow Flower had given her a goodbye kiss…

It had believed that Beast Tamers were mortal, only pet beasts could achieve immortality.

But now…?

Although Lian Xing’s lifespan was short, Snow Flower’s thoughts had changed. This throw…it had moved her.

Immortality, or a legendary life, however brief?

Snow Flower pushed Lian Xing’s hand away and kissed her.

“Cough, cough, cough!!!”

Under Star Sand, Calamity Sun, and Golden Leaf’s surprised gazes, Lian Xing coughed and pulled away.

Snow Flower’s ambition was impressive. It wanted to be a married pet beast right after signing the contract.

Weren’t Elemental Species supposed to be uninterested in such things?

Seeing Snow Flower’s eagerness, Lian Xing gave it a pleading look, like a helpless maiden begging for mercy…

Snow Flower, understanding, released her.

Lian Xing, with Snow Flower, Star Sand, and Calamity Sun, walked towards a fleshy lump on the ground. An eye had appeared on its surface, staring at the golden-haired girl.

Heartless Purgatory Life, the Fallen Species. Its life crystal had been completely destroyed by Moonlight Rabbit’s throw, only a small amount of flesh remaining. Its eyes, filled with confusion, bewilderment, shock, awe, and even mockery, its flesh began to disintegrate into black ash.

This victory wouldn’t have been possible without Star Sand’s passive suppression, and even the Celestial Anchor had played a crucial role. If not for Calamity Sun having been redirected towards Lian Xing’s teleportation point…

Snow Flower and Golden Leaf wouldn’t have been able to steal the kill…

After defeating this Fallen Species, Lian Xing’s lineup would become even more powerful.

[Moonlight Rabbit (Deceased)]

[Golden Leaf]

[Snow Flower]

[Star Sand]

[Calamity Sun]

[Cloud and Dream’s Promise]

[Celestial Anchor]

One day, she would stand at the pinnacle of the Moon Soul World with these seven pet beasts.

Lian Xing still had many enemies to defeat.

This Monarch-Tier Fallen Species was just the first, a stepping stone on her path…

Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing waited for Heartless Purgatory Life’s aura to dissipate.

The Six-Point Banquet venue was silent, even the Seven King Mother and Reverse Time didn’t speak.

But the moment the rankings updated…

The entire venue erupted, even the usually calm Great Emperors standing up abruptly, their scalps tingling.

Lian Xing, with an astronomical score, had taken first place, completely crushing Gem Concubine!!!

This score wasn’t based on the number of kills, but on the total life force destroyed.

Gem Concubine’s points, earned through hours of hunting, weren’t even a fraction of Lian Xing’s!!!

She had defeated a Fallen Species…

Even killing all the lice within Storm wouldn’t be worth as much…

But more importantly…

A Fallen Species had been killed in the Six-Point Banquet!!!

In hundreds of thousands of years, there had never been such a case!!

This news would shock the entire Moon Soul World after the banquet!!!

Now, they just had to wait for the one-hour event to end and for the participants to return.

---

---

Meanwhile, inside Storm, Lian Xing, standing over Heartless Purgatory Life’s ashes, frowned slightly.

Her pet beasts’ level ups were expected.

But that strange look in the Fallen Species’s eyes before its death…

It bothered her…

Besides disbelief, there had been a hint of mockery…

As if it had seen her as already dead…

But how…?

Was there something even stronger than Heartless Purgatory Life within Storm…?

Impossible, right…?

Lian Xing’s starry eyes narrowed.

There was something stronger than Heartless Purgatory Life!!!

And it was right beneath their feet…!!!

“Boom!!!!!”

A hurricane erupted. The surrounding winds, as if devouring everything, suddenly intensified, their speed increasing exponentially.

Snow Flower, holding Lian Xing, was sent tumbling backward, even Heavenly Maiden and White Abode were caught in the blast, like passengers in a supersonic plane whose windows had suddenly shattered…

“Whoosh——!!!” Then, silence.

The storm around them had vanished.

And seeing Heavenly Maiden, Gem Concubine, Fire Kasaya, Ice Emperor, and Southern Queen, who was holding Jade Crown Great King in its mouth, Lian Xing’s heart pounded.

They had left Storm’s body!!!

And then she remembered Calamity Sun’s words after piercing Heartless Purgatory Life: “A Royal-Tier, achieving a throw comparable to Drought’s…how can I lose…!!!?”

Comparable…to Drought…?

Lian Xing’s body trembled, cold sweat soaking her clothes, turning them transparent…

If even Calamity Sun, Drought’s former weapon, was impressed by that attack, then their current situation was inevitable…

Storm, sensing a threat to its life, how could it not be alerted!?

In the next second, under their despairing gazes, at the edge of their vision, a giant eye, surrounded by a storm, slowly scanned the surroundings. The moment they left Storm’s body, they could no longer see it.

But it could still see them!!!

At this moment, Storm’s gaze was fixed on the six Shining Species!!!

A god wouldn’t normally notice a speck of dust, but what if that speck of dust was…right before its eyes…?

Lian Xing held her breath.

In this life-or-death situation, Gem Concubine, instead of resisting, deactivated its Shining Awakening. Lian Xing, Snow Flower, Heavenly Maiden, and Gem Concubine, all five Shining Species, suppressed their auras. No one wanted to test Storm, the Disaster King.

Even the guests at the Six-Point Banquet held their breath, their bodies trembling, as if they could feel Storm’s gaze upon them.

Although Gem Concubine’s Shining aura had briefly registered on Storm’s radar…

After it deactivated its Awakening, Storm lost its target. In its terrifying gaze, there was only endless air and Pet Essence. All other life forms were too insignificant to be noticed.

However, just as they thought they were safe…

“Whoosh—”

As Storm turned, its giant wing brushed against a group of lice. In the next second, tens of thousands of lice exploded, their blood and flesh splattering towards the Six-Point Banquet participants.

Facing this bloody rain, everyone felt a premonition of death.

They couldn’t withstand this at their current level!!

“Shining Awakening X5!!!”

Without hesitation, all five Shining Species activated Awakening.

Instantly, a wave of Shining aura erupted, obliterating the surrounding terrain, the incoming bloody rain vaporizing in the heat. Even Heavenly Maiden’s white fox transformed into a mountainous beast, shielding her.

But Lian Xing, without Moonlight Rabbit, and with Mist Colt still asleep, she was completely exposed…

However, just as the bloody mist was about to reach her, Snow Flower casually extended an arm.

“Whoosh—”

A wave of freezing air, as cold as Ice Emperor’s awakened form, erupted, instantly freezing the incoming mist. Under Lian Xing and the guests’ surprised gazes, icy patterns appeared on Snow Flower’s ears, and a pure white bridal veil covered its head.

Snow Flower, Monarch-Tier evolution!!!

Defeating a Fallen Species wasn’t a requirement for Snow Flower’s evolution. It had already been on the verge of breaking through.

Snow Flower, Monarch-Tier form—

[Monarch-Tier — Elemental Species — Ice Attendant Snow Youluo!!!]

Although Snow Flower, already beautiful, was now even more stunning, Lian Xing couldn’t focus on its appearance. Because now, including Snow Flower, all six of them had been noticed by Storm!!

“Seven King Mother!!!” Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, shouted.

And the silver sword box, without needing any further instructions, shot into the sky, disappearing in an instant, crossing countless regions and dimensions, the sky itself seeming to crack and fade under its terrifying speed. As one of the Shining Duo, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge’s aura forced all other beings to yield, its path clear.

However…

Even at its speed, Sharp Edge Mountain was still too far from Storm.

It couldn’t arrive in time.

At this moment, under the guests’ despairing gazes…

Storm, the Fallen Emperor, the Disaster King, opened its mouth.

A chaotic sphere of wind energy began to coalesce.

An aura of death enveloped the Shining Six Stars.

Gem Concubine, watching as the map of the Moon Soul World around Storm’s mouth began to tear, its eye twitching.

This attack was unstoppable…

However, at that critical moment, Heavenly Maiden, riding a giant, Shining white fox, appeared before Lian Xing. Then, the giant fox, grabbing Snow Flower and Lian Xing in its mouth, began to run.

“Heavenly Maiden, what are you doing?” Lian Xing asked, confused.

But Heavenly Maiden was the confused one.

She was saving her, obviously…

As one of the two Shining Species Beast Tamers of this generation, perhaps out of solidarity…or shared fate, Heavenly Maiden had been captivated by Lian Xing the moment she saw her.

So, whether Lian Xing wanted it or not, Heavenly Maiden would take her away…

However, seeing themselves moving further and further away from the other Six Stars members, Lian Xing’s lips twitched.

She had been planning to give each of them a Star Order!

Now, not only were she and Heavenly Maiden in danger, but the other Shining Six Stars were also doomed.

“Stay close to me, and my ultimate effect will activate. 80% chance of surviving, 40% chance of completely ignoring the attack!” White Abode’s voice echoed in Lian Xing’s mind.

You’re right, but if I crush a Star Order now, I’ll be 100% safe at home. Although annoyed, Lian Xing was still touched by Heavenly Maiden’s concern.

As expected of someone who had been her wife for over ten minutes, thinking only of her in this dangerous situation, ignoring the other Shining Species.

But Lian Xing couldn’t just abandon them.

What kind of person would she be then!?

Thinking of this, Lian Xing made a decision.

Storm, the Disaster King, the most destructive of the Fallen Emperors, the strongest being in the Moon Soul World.

Then let’s dance…

“Whoosh—” As the other Shining Six Stars members watched in despair, a terrifying vortex of wind erupted from Storm’s mouth, erasing the Pet Essence in the area, their Shining forms blurring.

This was…

One of the Four Disasters!!!

Meanwhile, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge, rushing towards them, its face filled with anxiety, knew it wouldn’t make it in time. Its only hope was Divine Machine.

Divine Machine, don’t be stupid. Teleport them back, or I’ll destroy this world!!

The Seven King Mother knew that Divine Machine, one of the oldest Legends, and the Eleventh Zodiac had a connection.

It couldn’t just stand by and watch as the Shining Species of this generation were annihilated…

It mentally threatened Divine Machine, but there was nothing else it could do.

However…

At that moment—

“Whoosh—”

A white light, its speed incomprehensible, flashed past it, heading towards Storm. The Seven King Mother paused, its sword box form trembling slightly.

What…what was that…?

Faster than even it, at full speed…?

Was there anything in this world faster than its sword light, besides Storm itself…?

And almost instantly, the white light, after surpassing the Seven King Mother, crossed half the Moon Soul World and appeared beside the golden-haired girl with buns.

Then—

Under Lian Xing’s expectant gaze, and the shocked gazes of the Shining Six Stars and the banquet guests…

The white light collided with the wind pressure erupting from Storm’s mouth.

[Moon Chase]

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

A deafening explosion, a shockwave of unparalleled power.

All the Shining Species present were sent flying.

Billions of lice were turned to dust.

Mountains and oceans vanished…

A moment later, the smoke cleared.

“Whoosh—”

Under everyone’s gaze…

A white rabbit woman, its breath frosty, emerged from the silent storm, its snow-white body unharmed after taking a direct hit from Storm.

At this moment, under its overwhelming Ancient Species aura, not only the Shining Six Stars, but even Storm’s eyes narrowed.

And the Six-Point Banquet venue fell silent.

“A Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species? What the…!?”

Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, was the first to break the silence, her expression one of utter shock…

Although Moonwalker had submitted a report earlier, it had omitted the fact that it had exchanged panels with this Ancient Species. So, the other Sanctuary Guardians had only guessed at its level.

But now, with this immense aura…

There was no doubt…

A second Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species…in this world…!!!

As they watched in disbelief, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit waved its hand, dispelling the remnants of the Fallen aura, even Storm itself staggered slightly.

Then, under the Shining Six Stars’ awed gazes, it looked down at the golden-haired girl with buns.

At this moment, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, the pet beast Lian Xing had longed for, had finally returned!!!
