Chapter 196: Fallen Battles Shining, Moonlight Rabbit Emerges!!!
“Where’s my wife?”
Lian Xing asked, her voice flat. The crowd erupted in laughter as she realized her mistake.
Heavenly Maiden, holding the Star Order she had been given, looked innocent and confused. The chaos within Storm’s aura had caused the mix-up.
Lian Xing, focused on their surroundings, hadn’t paid attention to who she was holding.
After a lengthy internal justification, Lian Xing looked at the white-haired beauty, who was staring at her with wide, innocent eyes.
“What are you looking at? Want to get pregnant?”
Lian Xing blurted out, then, ignoring the shocked stares of the onlookers, continued to pull Heavenly Maiden along. She wasn’t even pretending anymore, just dragging Heavenly Maiden away. Heavenly Maiden, bewildered, offered no resistance. The audience felt like they were intruding on a private moment…
First Quarter frowned. Even Lian Xing wouldn’t be so brazen as to switch wives just for an hour, would she? This was no different from prostitution…
“Did we forget to tell her? Everything is being broadcast…!!!”
Yes, Lian Xing hadn’t known. Reverse Time had asked about livestreaming, and the Seven King Mother had said no. Lian Xing had assumed they would only see the scores, not the actual battles. But the participants and guests of the Six-Point Banquet knew that only the outside world was blocked from the livestream.
Hopefully, Lian Xing won’t embarrass herself too much…
She had finally gained the Seven King Mother’s favor with her Star Goddess-like image.
Don’t ruin it now… First Quarter thought, glancing at the impassive Seven King Mother.
Meanwhile, as Lian Xing dragged Heavenly Maiden along, White Abode within her fell silent.
Then, it whispered,
[Snow Clothes, don’t resist yet. Let’s see how she fights. I want to observe her lineup and strength. She hasn’t contracted with Snow Flower yet. We still have a chance. And she probably won’t do anything too outrageous to you.]
Hearing White Abode’s confident words, Heavenly Maiden’s body trembled slightly.
Not too outrageous?
But they were already holding hands… Feeling the cool, soft touch, Heavenly Maiden slowed down, her head drooping. Since birth, only White Abode had touched her skin, not even her mother…
As Heavenly Maiden’s resolve wavered, Lian Xing pulled her towards a group of Emperors. Stopping, Lian Xing looked around impatiently.
Without Snow Flower, she had to deal with these small fry herself.
It was too troublesome. She had to find Snow Flower quickly.
[Heavenly Punishment]
“Boom!!”
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!”
Several black lightning bolts descended, incinerating the Emperors and the Monarch-Tier lice behind them. As black ash rained down, Lian Xing, her expression indifferent, walked past the corpses, pulling the demure white-haired beauty behind her.
Heavenly Maiden, known as the strongest Beast Tamer, now looked like an obedient wife…
“By the way, do you know where that little Fallen Species Gem Concubine mentioned is?” Lian Xing asked.
“It’s impossible to find it. It’s random. Within Storm, even a powerful being’s aura can’t travel far,” Heavenly Maiden replied, her voice slightly robotic, repeating White Abode’s words verbatim.
“Wait, you’re not planning to challenge it, are you? Give up. You’re no match for it. Gem Concubine has fought it countless times, never winning, only managing to slightly suppress it. Storm circles Sharp Edge Mountain every eight hours. We only have one hour. You won’t even be able to find it!!”
“Who asked you?” Lian Xing snapped, realizing that it was White Abode speaking, not Heavenly Maiden.
White Abode, enraged, cursed internally, but Heavenly Maiden didn’t repeat its words. Lian Xing, ignoring White Abode, continued pulling Heavenly Maiden along.
She would find that little Fallen Species within an hour and defeat it!!!
She finally had a chance to bully a Monarch-Tier Fallen Species. Both Golden Leaf and Snow Flower needed to defeat a Fallen Species to evolve. And Storm itself wouldn’t be arriving at Sharp Edge Mountain for who knows how long… Lian Xing couldn’t wait.
After discreetly placing a Star Gate, Lian Xing increased their speed. Then, either because Heavenly Maiden was too slow, or because of her lewdness, she slapped Heavenly Maiden’s butt.
“Slap!!”
“…”
“…”
A resounding slap, Heavenly Maiden’s butt…jiggling slightly.
The entire banquet hall fell silent.
First Quarter winced as the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge glanced at the other Six Stars members, seemingly disapproving…
Many guests quickly turned their attention to the scoreboard.
Gem Concubine, in its Shining form, was in first place, rampaging through Storm, effortlessly crushing countless lice with its aura.
However, to everyone’s surprise…
Lian Xing’s wife, Snow Flower, was second!!!
Wherever the cold, white-clad snow woman went, the lice were bisected by its icy tail.
At this moment, Golden Leaf, its body wreathed in a black aura, was on a rampage…
Whether ordinary Emperors or Sovereign-Tier Emperors, they were all bisected by its attacks.
Lian Xing’s newly equipped combat skill was perfect for Snow Flower and Golden Leaf!!!
[Nether Severance (Black): When wielded and swung, significantly increases cutting power and penetration. Each kill refreshes the cooldown and permanently enhances its power.]
Combined with Snow Flower’s counter-attack characteristic, any being that touched its aura was instantly shredded by the invisible black blades. Because it didn’t need to actively attack to trigger the counter, the Golden Leaf’s combat skill was essentially an instant, unlimited spatial slash.
Soon, even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor was defeated…
It had casually attacked, trying to test Snow Flower, then been bisected by Nether Severance before it could even activate Awakening.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
The black blade flashed relentlessly, piles of lice corpses accumulating. As Nether Severance’s power increased with each kill, its range and damage also increased, even surpassing Gem Concubine’s score at times.
“This is incredible! That Weapon Species’s compatibility with Snow Flower is perfect…!”
“Once Snow Flower reaches Monarch-Tier, its power might even surpass an ordinary Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor…”
“But that Weapon Species is clearly Lian Xing’s pet beast. It’s like she’s already paid the dowry… Now Snow Flower is bound to her…”
“Who knows, maybe after seeing Heavenly Maiden, Snow Flower might…change its mind~~~” the guests from various powers whispered among themselves.
Even Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, couldn’t help but express her admiration.
Snow Flower’s performance today was truly stunning…!!
Although its power was still below the Monarch-Tier Shining Species present, once it reached Monarch-Tier, combined with the perfectly compatible Golden Leaf…
However…
In the next second…
“Whoosh—”
A white blur flashed across one of the screens.
Sensing that fleeting aura of despair, everyone felt a chill.
On Jade Crown Great King’s screen…
The green elemental figure, its eyes glued to its phone, bumped into something.
“Boom!!!”
Half of its body, and its phone, were pulverized. It turned its head, its eyes wide with shock, just in time to see a giant, red-winged, horse-like figure disappearing. Its movements had been stiff and mechanical. Neither of them had reacted to the collision, as if they were just passersby who had bumped into each other.
“Did I just encounter…”
“A Fallen Species!!!”
Jade Crown Great King muttered in disbelief.
Normally, it wouldn’t have cared.
But this damn thing had broken its phone…!!!
“Shining Awakening!!!”
“Boom!!!”
Like a thunderbolt, a flash of lightning struck Jade Crown Great King’s crystal, its green body shimmering with a jade-like light. But in the next second, under everyone’s horrified gazes, its Awakening was interrupted, the light dimming.
A giant, red horse head, with six blood-red eyes, emerged from the storm behind it, looking down at Jade Crown Great King with a sinister gaze.
A wave of suffocating fear washed over it.
I…I made a mistake!!!
Jade Crown Great King realized, but it was too late.
A Shining Species, before reaching its full power, it couldn’t activate Awakening near an enemy!!!
It had attracted the Fallen Species’s attention the moment it awakened.
It was too close…
[Monarch-Tier · Fallen Species]
[Heartless Purgatory Life]
“Whew~~~~~~” Its Awakening interrupted, Jade Crown Great King froze, waiting for death. The crimson horse head descended, then gently exhaled towards the insignificant being before it.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, the surrounding area, for billions of kilometers, was shattered.
Jade Crown Great King’s mangled body was sent flying.
This exhalation not only knocked out Jade Crown Great King, but also killed countless lice, creating a giant hole in Storm’s body, a path of blood and destruction, a gruesome scene that silenced the Six-Point Banquet.
The Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge frowned, its expression grim.
Jade Crown Great King had made such a basic mistake…
There was nothing it could do now.
Another Shining Species…lost…
However, just as the crimson horse was about to pursue Jade Crown Great King, its gaze was drawn to a white figure in the distance.
Snow Flower, Golden Leaf…!!!
They were right in the path of Heartless Purgatory Life’s attack, barely a few hundred meters away.
Although Snow Flower couldn’t see the enemy’s true form with its current vision range, it felt a strong sense of foreboding, the urge to flee.
But the moment it turned around…
A giant, blood-red horse body and a grotesque head with twelve eyes appeared before it.
A Fallen Species!!!
What speed was that…?
No, such speed should have created a commotion…
It must be a special ability!
“Boom!!!!”
Despite trembling under the Fallen Species’s oppressive aura, Snow Flower, overcoming its fear, unleashed Nether Severance, striking the horse’s eyes. At the same time, using the recoil, it was sent flying backward, trying to dodge a direct hit.
And it activated Awakening.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”
Ice coffins rained down, blocking the Fallen Species’s vision. But in the next second, under Snow Flower’s disbelieving gaze, the blood-red horse vanished…
Then, it reappeared behind her.
“Bang!”
Snow Flower, still flying backward, crashed into its embrace. Just as she was about to be crushed by its aura, she twisted her body and used Golden Leaf to slash at the horse.
“Clang—”
As the sound of grinding metal echoed, Golden Leaf, its body partially disintegrating as it cut through the horse’s aura, managed to deflect Snow Flower’s trajectory, allowing her to slide past the Fallen Species.
“So strong!!!”
Reverse Time, the Second Sanctuary Guardian, exclaimed, impressed not by Snow Flower’s power, but by its battle instincts. Even facing an opponent that could annihilate it with a single breath, it hadn’t given up, facing its despair with unwavering focus!!!
Even the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge’s grim expression softened slightly.
She had thought Jade Crown Great King’s recklessness would get Snow Flower killed.
That would have been a disaster for the Six-Point Banquet.
Meanwhile, Snow Flower, after its close call with Heartless Purgatory Life, didn’t try to escape, instead turning to face the blood-red horse. Against an opponent with such unpredictable teleportation, running was pointless.
It could only stall for time…
And although its situation seemed hopeless…it wasn’t doomed…!!
Because the moment Golden Leaf was injured…
Lian Xing would come…
Meanwhile, Lian Xing, in another part of Storm, suddenly turned her head, as if sensing something. She had been scanning the area with the Celestial Anchor’s radar, but she had just felt a tremor from Golden Leaf, a near-fatal injury.
Had it been hit by a single attack!?
Lian Xing’s expression darkened.
She immediately thought of that little Fallen Species within Storm.
With Golden Leaf’s Nether Severance and Snow Flower’s counter-attack, even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor couldn’t severely injur …them with a single blow.
So…
Was it that Fallen Species!?
Lian Xing didn’t hesitate, scooping up Heavenly Maiden in a princess carry… Then, before Heavenly Maiden could even speak, a green mist enveloped them, and Cloud and Dream’s Promise began to sprint.
Cloud and Dream’s Promise, First Stage Royal Awakening.
[Talent · Mist Walk]
[Talent · Soul Severance]
[Light Spot (Black)]
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!!!”
Like a skipping video, their bodies disappeared, only a blurry green horn streaking through Storm at an incredible speed.
Having inherited Soul Severance, the second talent of the Viral Species Emperor, Three-Inch Incense, Cloud and Dream’s Promise could now move in its incorporeal form, unimpeded by air resistance or Pet Essence. Combined with its four awakened speed bursts and the Black Quality combat skill, Light Spot, its speed far surpassed that of an ordinary Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, stunning the banquet guests watching the livestream.
A Royal-Tier pet beast…with that kind of speed…!?
Meanwhile, held in Lian Xing’s arms, Heavenly Maiden’s body stiffened. As she shifted uncomfortably, her hand accidentally brushed against Lian Xing’s soft breast…
She quickly pulled her hand away, her face flushing, and in her panic, accidentally pulled down Lian Xing’s stocking.
Lian Xing looked down at the flustered, white-haired woman.
“That…thirsty…?”
“A bit creepy, don’t you think…?”
You’re the one who’s thirsty and creepy!!! White Abode screamed within Heavenly Maiden, urging her to retort.
But the moment Heavenly Maiden spoke, Lian Xing covered her mouth and shushed her.
Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Awakening had just ended.
After its high-speed sprint, it could now sense Snow Flower’s aura nearby.
So, whatever Heavenly Maiden’s problem was, she would deal with it later.
White Abode was furious…
But it also sensed the little Fallen Species’s aura, so it could only endure this humiliation…
But later, it would definitely scold Lian Xing, defending Heavenly Maiden’s honor!!!
At this moment, under Lian Xing’s shocked gaze, a blood-red, horse-like figure, its aura so oppressive that it made ordinary beings struggle to breathe, appeared, leaping through the storm clouds. Before this terrifying being, the auras of Snow Flower and Golden Leaf were insignificant, like dust.
“Activate Awakening, then—”
As Heavenly Maiden started to say, after being put down by Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl vanished. Then, under Heavenly Maiden’s stunned gaze, Lian Xing charged towards the Fallen Species.
But her Shining Species hasn’t awakened yet…this is going to be bad…!!!
Meanwhile, as Reverse Time and the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge watched with grim expressions, First Quarter, at the Three Saints Palace table, facepalmed.
Lian Xing…she had made the same mistake as Jade Crown Great King…!!!
Had she never encountered an enemy that could interrupt Awakening…?
A Shining Species’s Awakening aura was so powerful that 99.999999% of pet beasts would be stunned, unable to react for a dozen seconds.
But this Monarch-Tier Fallen Species, Heartless Purgatory Life, it was among the remaining 0.000001%!!!
Having fought against Gem Concubine every 80 years, it was no longer fazed by a Shining Species’s Awakening.
In fact, in its eyes, a Shining Species that couldn’t maintain its full power was weak…
Under everyone’s gaze, as the golden-haired girl ran towards Snow Flower and Golden Leaf, a pure white rabbit figure appeared beside her.
No one could bully her wives…!!!
Not even a Fallen Species…
“Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, Third Stage Awakening!!!”
“…”
“…”
In the next second, as Lian Xing, slightly surprised, finally reacted, the crimson horse, which had been about to attack Snow Flower, abruptly turned its head, its twelve grotesque eyes fixated on the awakening Moonlight Rabbit.
“Bang!!!”
Without warning, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s body was shattered by the Fallen Species’s aura.
Not only had its Awakening been interrupted, it had been instantly killed…!!!
At this moment, the entire Six-Point Banquet venue fell silent.
Had the Seven King Mother’s decision been too reckless…?
Sending a newcomer into Storm…
This Lian Xing, she had no experience fighting against a Fallen Species!!
They hadn’t even seen her Shining Species’s form before it was destroyed…
The Seven King Mother, Reverse Time, First Quarter, and the others were speechless…
What was Lian Xing thinking!?
Did she really think Fallen Species were stupid…?
Storm and Flood had ignored her because her aura was too weak, like a god not noticing a speck of dust.
But for this Monarch-Tier Fallen Species, a Shining Species’s Awakening aura was the perfect target!!!
However…
As they watched, their expressions grim…
As the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s blood mist dissipated, everyone froze.
For some reason, the golden-haired girl’s expression wasn’t one of shock or surprise.
But of excited anticipation…!!!
Yes, Lian Xing had done it on purpose.
She had deliberately sent Moonlight Rabbit to its death…
Less than an hour!?
Couldn’t completely defeat a Fallen Species!?
It didn’t matter, whether it was an hour, half an hour, even a minute.
She only needed two throws!!
Risking everything, sacrificing her life, to surpass her limits!!
Right here…
She would completely defeat this Fallen Species!!!
[Ten Intentions Annihilation (Black)]
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!!”
In the next second, under everyone’s horrified gaze, a golden aura, like a reverse meteor, shot into the sky, its brilliance blinding.
Under Heavenly Maiden’s wide eyes and the Fallen Species, Heartless Purgatory Life’s, puzzled gaze, a magnificent, golden Moonlight Rabbit emerged from the black mist, its body radiating a brilliant light, its golden ears tied in a giant bow, a giant, full moon-shaped satellite orbiting above its head.
Shining, Star Pole, Full Moon, the triple-awakened Moonlight Rabbit had returned!!!
Royal-Tier Shining Species, Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, making its grand entrance…!!!
At this moment, the Moonlight Rabbit, its body wreathed in golden flames, the full moon satellite above its head spinning, stepped into the Fallen Species’s aura, golden light clashing with crimson, a terrifying screech echoing.
But the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon didn’t stop.
It continued its advance towards the crimson horse!!
[Fallen Species, Heartless Purgatory Life—]
[VS]
[Shining Species, Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon!!!]
The Black Quality combat skill, Ten Intentions Annihilation!!!
Although Moonlight Rabbit had been defeated, it still had two throws left.
And these two throws, beyond its limits, would rewrite their understanding of power!!!
Meanwhile, the golden-haired girl’s insane actions had also shocked everyone.
At this moment, under everyone’s gaze…
Lian Xing, her starry eyes swirling, a crazed smile on her face, looked at the Fallen Species in the distance.
“Before her, you won’t even have a single hair left…”
