Chapter 183-184: Moonlight Rabbit, Debut in the New World!!

—Cloud Mist Sea, Cloud Mirror City—

“Boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

Hundreds of Emperor-class airships launched from the central plaza, their engines roaring, quickly accelerating to speeds surpassing even a typical Emperor’s, then disappearing into the clouds, passing through giant cloud mirrors.

On one of these airships, three Monarch-Tier attendants stared at the golden-haired girl with buns in a red, form-fitting uniform.

“Where’s the Captain? We haven’t seen you before.”

“The Captain discovered a faulty part before boarding and went for emergency repairs. I’m Xing Nu, her assistant, filling in.” Lian Xing’s response was smooth and effortless, a perfectly fabricated lie.

To their credit, the three Monarch-Tier attendants weren’t suspicious, their expressions filled with admiration. They had all tried to bribe or seduce that Mechanical Species Maid Emperor, but Mechanical Species were notoriously unresponsive to such attempts.

And this girl was actually the Mechanical Species’s assistant? How impressive!

Lian Xing, not bothering to explain further, went to the front of the airship to enjoy the view. Hundreds of airships traversed the Cloud Mist Sea through the cloud mirrors, covering in hours what would normally take an Emperor half a month. After thirteen jumps, Lian Xing’s eyes narrowed.

“I can sense Snow Flower’s aura. Should I retrieve it, or let it go?”

Facing a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor and countless Sovereigns, even Snow Flower and Golden Leaf at full power had no chance. She had to intervene. But she wasn’t a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer yet, her contract slots were full. And if she let it go, Snow Flower would just encounter another Great Emperor eventually.

“This is troublesome. Snow Flower was captured before even leaving the Cloud Mist Sea.” Lian Xing sighed.

A massive, ice-shaped prison appeared, a more secure version of the previous spherical one, surrounded by several Sovereign-Tier Emperors, waiting. Seeing the Cloud Mirror City airships arrive, they approached.

“City Lord Yun Jing, your speed is unexpected. Good thing we sold you the information!” the white-haired woman at the front of the lead airship said, nodding, then casually tossed a Fluorescent combat skill card to the Sovereigns. Although Cloud Mirror City was the furthest away, she had placed cloud mirrors throughout the Cloud Mist Sea long ago. In terms of travel speed, they were unmatched.

The Sovereign-Tier Emperors retreated, watching as the white-haired City Lord Yun Jing approached the Ice Prison. She walked on air, each step landing on an invisible, crystalline shard. The tourists inside the airships watched excitedly.

Meanwhile, on the deck of one of the airships, Lian Xing felt a chill.

“This City Lord’s aura is incredible. At least ten times stronger than that Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor on Flood’s back. And without any restrictions, it can use Awakening freely. A Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor…”

“Against her, my lineup wouldn’t even be able to move…” Lian Xing hesitated, touching the deer antler ring. Her only option to save Snow Flower was to use the Moonwalker Mother’s authority.

But then what?

Use the Mother’s authority to release Snow Flower from the Cloud Mist Sea?

That was stupid… City Lord Yun Jing was a subordinate of the Moonwalker Mother. If the Cloud Mist Sea captured Snow Flower, the Mother would be pleased…

Lian Xing had three choices:

As Lian Xing hesitated, the white-haired woman reached the Ice Prison and casually extended her hand.

“Boom!!!!” A giant hole appeared in the ice, as if it had been struck by a hammer.

This targeted Ice Prison…it’s useless… Lian Xing frowned.

It was only blocking Ten Thousand Level Great Emperors and Sovereign-Tier Emperors, yet it had been so easily broken by a casual attack from a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor.

And it hadn’t even used Awakening…

“Whoosh—” A white blur shot out of the hole, fleeing towards the distance. Snow Flower, sensing the overwhelming power the moment their auras clashed, had abandoned any thoughts of defense. It couldn’t fight a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor at Royal-Tier.

But City Lord Yun Jing simply stood there, watching as Snow Flower fled, then, after about three minutes, extended her hands.

“Boom!!!” Two giant cloud mirrors descended, one blocking Snow Flower’s path, the other appearing beside City Lord Yun Jing. Snow Flower, caught off guard, crashed into the mirror and was teleported to City Lord Yun Jing’s side. It looked at her, confused, then tried to re-enter the mirror, only to bump its head against the surface.

The cloud mirror was one-way…

Trapped before City Lord Yun Jing, Snow Flower had nowhere to run.

However, in the next second—

“Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!” Hundreds of mechanical airships within a radius of thousands of kilometers were suddenly frozen, including the golden-haired attendants with buns.

And then, as City Lord Yun Jing’s expression changed, Snow Flower turned and fled.

“Well done…” Lian Xing chuckled, trapped inside the frozen airship.

Even though City Lord Yun Jing hadn’t directly attacked Snow Flower, its area-of-effect counter had still triggered. After all, Snow Flower’s physical defense wasn’t that high. Crashing into that giant mirror…it was practically an attack from City Lord Yun Jing.

It took City Lord Yun Jing almost a minute to carefully extract the hundreds of frozen airships using her cloud mirror, wary of damaging them with her powerful aura.

After the rescue, City Lord Yun Jing looked at the fleeing Snow Flower, her expression no longer casual.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish—” Chains, formed from countless crystal shards, shot out from her sleeves, like whips, striking Snow Flower’s back.

Under the tense gazes of the Cloud Mirror City tourists…

Just as the crystal chains were about to hit…

“Boom!!!!!” A giant, icy tail, trailing sparks of Pet Essence, erupted from Snow Flower’s back, colliding with the chains, the deafening roar sending several pet beasts and Beast Tamers watching from the airship decks flying. The shockwave, like a tsunami, shook even Lian Xing’s airship.

City Lord Yun Jing’s chains were repelled…

And as the dust settled, the snow woman, dragging its icy tail, was even further away, almost beyond their field of vision.

Seeing this, City Lord Yun Jing’s expression turned serious.

For Snow Flower, a Royal-Tier pet beast, to be able to fight against a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor…

A high-ranking Legend…they were truly formidable…

Even the usually indifferent City Lord Yun Jing felt a surge of excitement, a dark aura emanating from her body.

A Black Quality combat skill, about to be unleashed!!!

However, at that moment…

Just as Snow Flower and Golden Leaf were fleeing, and City Lord Yun Jing was about to use her full power…

A white-stockinged rabbit woman with eight petal-like ears emerged from one of the airships, standing beside the golden-haired girl, its gaze fixed on City Lord Yun Jing.

Lian Xing knew she couldn’t let this fight continue. Although Snow Flower hadn’t used Awakening yet, City Lord Yun Jing had a Second Stage Awakening. If she got serious, Snow Flower wouldn’t stand a chance. She had to act now, while City Lord Yun Jing was still testing her, still underestimating her.

The Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s half-human form, even the Moonwalker Mother didn’t know about it.

Even if she revealed her true Shining Species form later, they probably wouldn’t connect the two.

“Moonlight Rabbit!!!” With Lian Xing’s call, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon assumed a throwing stance. Because City Lord Yun Jing was so close, its movements resembled someone pulling the trigger of a gun, rather than throwing.

In the next second—

“Boom!!!” A deafening roar.

No one reacted in time, not even City Lord Yun Jing. Her body shook, the black aura around her dissipating. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she looked down at her body in disbelief.

Eight bullet holes. Her viral shield had been pierced!?

Why!?

Who had done this!!!

“Boom!!!” Another explosion.

This time, City Lord Yun Jing saw it.

Eight thin energy beams, like teleporting projectiles, pierced through her body, then vanished, leaving eight more holes, a total of 16, blood and Viral Pet Essence flowing from the wounds.

“Who…”

“Their speed is too fast! And there are too many people here! I can’t see who’s attacking!!”

“One more time! If they attack again, I’ll definitely find them!!!” City Lord Yun Jing focused, preparing to defend, waiting for the next attack.

However, she had completely underestimated her enemy’s strength.

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

A barrage of deafening explosions, golden lights, like a storm, striking her body relentlessly, without warning, without any windup. City Lord Yun Jing, like a punching bag, trembled and swayed, blood spurting from her mouth, her body covered in wounds. And the attacks’ frequency increased, from a shotgun to a machine gun, like crackling thunder.

A dozen seconds later, under everyone’s incredulous gaze, her mangled body began to fall from the sky.

[Piercing Moon Lance!!!]

 

Chapter 182: Marrying Moonlight Rabbit

— Moon Soul World/New World, 20231216 —

After leaving behind a legendary legacy in her original Pet Beast World, Lian Xing had stepped into the new world, the so-called Sanctuary, a place coveted by countless Emperors. Although it was called a 1st-level sanctuary in her old world, Lian Xing sensed something amiss the moment she crossed the bubble wall.

The term “sanctuary” usually referred to a specific area within a world.

But for a sanctuary to be larger than the world itself.

That was illogical.

Standing in the vast, empty sky of the new world, the golden-haired girl took a deep breath of the dense Pet Essence, her starry eyes scanning the surroundings in disbelief. Since becoming a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, her vision could encompass over a dozen regions at once.

But here, in the new world, besides the endless sea of clouds, she couldn’t see anything!!

Not even land or oceans…

If a Commander-Tier Beast Tamer without a flying pet beast arrived here, they would probably fall to their deaths.

“Ding, dong, ding, dong…”

“Ding, dong, ding, dong…”

Suddenly, Lian Xing’s phone buzzed with notifications.

She picked it up, confused.

She had already ascended to the new world. Who could possibly send her messages from her old world? This was practically interdimensional communication…

However, as Lian Xing opened her account, she found thousands of new friend requests.

“Little Sister Lian Xing, I heard you’ve come to our world?”

“Lady Lian Xing, want to have a baby with me? [Attached: Sexy leg selfie]”

“Star Concubine, come to our Three Saints Palace! We’ll protect you~~~”

“Ignore that bitch Jade Lady! Delete her from your friend list!!”

“What’s going on? I just arrived, and my identity is already exposed…?” Lian Xing muttered, puzzled.

After reading a few friend requests, Lian Xing realized they were all connected to Jade Lady.

So that’s how they knew she had left.

Were they all Lover’s consorts? She had expected insults after calling them “swine,” but they were either flattering her or proposing.

Lian Xing deleted the requests and activated the deer antler ring from Moonwalker Mother. “Mother, I’ve arrived. Can you sense me?”

The ring flickered. “Little Star, welcome! I’m dealing with Flood and that Ancient Species. I can’t meet yet. Explore the Cloud Mist Sea, join Emperor competitions, or find Legends. This ring protects you. Check the map!”

A holographic map appeared, showing her old world as a tiny dot. The Cloud Mist Sea was vast, even her enhanced vision couldn’t grasp its scale. A red arrow, marked with a white exclamation point, was leaving the area – Flood, with Moon Calamity above it.

“It took Flood a month to cross that distance at that speed. I can’t let Mist Colt wander aimlessly. I need a base and Star Gates to connect this world.” She looked at the nearest location.

[Mist Marsh: Subordinate to the Third Sanctuary Guardian. Four Sovereign-Tier Emperors.]

Four Sovereign-Tier Emperors.

Half of her old world’s total and hundreds of similar locations within the Cloud Mist Sea.

Lian Xing decided to head to Mist Marsh, seeking a teleportation array.

“Whoosh—” Dreamflow Sunset Glow sped through the clouds. Lian Xing, watching the map, realized that despite its speed, they weren’t even moving a pixel.

“This world is too big. It’ll take months to reach Mist Marsh. I’ll miss Recreate’s reincarnation.”

“Boom, boom!!!!!” A deafening roar came from behind. Lian Xing turned to see a massive mechanical airship approaching, its speed dwarfing Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s. As they watched, the airship, made of mechanical parts, powered by Emperor-Tier crystals, flew past.

“I want to get on! Stop! Let me on!” Lian Xing shouted, waving. She had been planning to force her way onto the airship.

But, unexpectedly, the airship stopped. As the steam-powered hatch opened, a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer in a black miniskirt and a work uniform emerged. She looked Lian Xing up and down, then said indifferently, “One Monarch-Tier crystal for one stop, one Emperor-Tier crystal for twenty stops. Double fare for boarding mid-route.”

Lian Xing’s eyes lit up.

Two Monarch-Tier crystals to board?

She could travel to the end of the new world with her current resources! She had collected countless crystals from Flood’s lice, which had later been offered to the Seven Heavens.

So, under the Monarch-Tier attendant’s curious gaze, Lian Xing handed over two Monarch-Tier crystals and entered the airship. The interior reminded her of public transportation on Earth, route maps displayed above each door. The next stop was Mist Marsh.

But since I’m on this airship, wouldn’t it be more convenient to establish a Star Gate in a larger city further away…? Lian Xing pondered as she sat down.

“Wow, you’re so brave! Traveling alone at Royal-Tier…”

“Aren’t you afraid of never reaching the next city?” a black-haired girl in a dark grey uniform and a ponytail asked curiously. She was a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer, barely 20 years old.

Lian Xing blinked, then fabricated a story, “I was traveling with my companions, and I needed to pee, so I left the airship for a moment, and then I encountered Flood! And those ungrateful bastards just left me there! I almost died!!!”

“…”
“…”
“Uh, don’t airships have…restrooms…?” the black-haired girl asked after a long silence.

Lian Xing’s story…she understood every word, but the peeing part didn’t make sense.

And Lian Xing, with a knowing look, said,

“You’ll understand when you’re older~~~”

Then, ignoring her confused neighbor, she casually crossed her legs, her smooth, white stockings on display, and picked up a newspaper.

[Flood suddenly changes course, thousands of cities in Cloud Mist Sea affected, heavy casualties.]

[A new Ancient Species appears, subdues Flood, and rides it, continuing its erratic trajectory.]

[Flood and the new Ancient Species are predicted to collide with the Three Saints Palace, the alliance of the three Legends (Qianqiu, Lover, First Quarter), in one year.]

[Snow Flower, ranked 8th among the 72 Legends, has appeared and is currently wandering near the Cloud Mist Sea, triggering a search frenzy among Beast Tamers. (According to reports, Snow Flower possesses a mutated Weapon Species and is close to Monarch-Tier. Beast Tamers below Emperor-Tier should avoid contact.)]

As Lian Xing read the newspaper, the black-haired girl beside her was also observing her. Although she had already labeled Lian Xing a pervert, she couldn’t resist asking,

“People are saying that Ancient Species’s level is over ten thousand, even the Third Sanctuary Guardian couldn’t capture it. The higher-ups at Three Saints Palace must be panicking…”

“I wonder what its original species is. I’m so curious! Which species did it evolve from?”

“And after they figure it out, that species’s price will probably skyrocket! I should have bought some in advance…”

Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded in agreement.

Whenever an Ancient Species appeared, its initial form’s price would skyrocket, sometimes even surpassing Super Rare Species. After all, normal Beast Tamers wouldn’t dream of evolving an Ancient Species. Even if its path was blocked, its potential and unique characteristics, including its bloodline combat skill, remained.

Unfortunately, this Ancient Species wasn’t a Moonlight Rabbit…

Because the Moonlight Rabbit’s Ancient Species path had been destroyed by a bug during her transmigration in Pet Beast Evolution Battle.

But she still had its bloodline combat skill…

“By the way, aren’t you interested in seeing Snow Flower? You only paid for two stops. Are you getting off at Mist Marsh?” the black-haired girl asked.

“I might buy a few more tickets. But I’m not interested in Snow Flower. Even Emperor-Tier Beast Tamers can’t deal with it. What can I, a Royal-Tier, do? If I’m accidentally killed by the aftershock, no one can revive me.” Lian Xing shook her head.

Snow Flower hadn’t reached Monarch-Tier yet. She could capture it after the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon reached Monarch-Tier.

But the black-haired girl chuckled. “You don’t understand. I’m going to Cloud Mirror City, the largest city nearby. I heard its city lord is planning to capture Snow Flower. It’s a renowned Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Capturing Snow Flower should be easy for it!!”

“And Cloud Mirror City will probably send out many airships. If I can get a ticket, I can witness a battle between titans…~~~”

As the black-haired girl finished speaking, Lian Xing’s eyes widened, as if she were a naive village girl…

But the moment she turned away, her expression turned grim.

A Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, with Snow Flower and Golden Leaf’s current strength, they couldn’t possibly win…

So, after a moment of thought, Lian Xing took out an Emperor-Tier crystal and said, under the black-haired girl and the Monarch-Tier attendant’s shocked gazes, “17 more stops, to Cloud Mirror City.”

“How did you get an Emperor-Tier crystal at Royal-Tier…?” the black-haired girl asked, stunned.

“I…found it~~~”

With that, Lian Xing stopped talking and entered Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Viral Space.

At this moment, inside the dreamlike, emerald green, mist-filled space…

Lian Xing looked at the white, lop-eared Moonlight Rabbit sitting in a corner.

She chuckled and walked over.

“What’s wrong, darling? Still sulking?”

“Look, Mommy brought you 50 Limit-Breaking Seeds from the Seven Heavens. Eat them all~~~”

[Not eating.]

“Why not? They’ll make you stronger! Don’t you want to be stronger?”

[You just want me to protect Golden Leaf and Snow Flower. I refuse.] the Moonlight Rabbit said stubbornly.

Lian Xing blinked, a bit exasperated.

“Who said that? You become stronger for yourself! Or to protect Mommy!!”

[Heh.]

“Wait, remember when you tried to touch Mommy, and Recreate stopped you?”

“That’s because you weren’t strong enough!”

“If you’re so strong that nothing can stop you, then no pet beast can interfere, right?”

“Then you can do whatever you want to Mommy, and I won’t be able to resist~~”

“And once you reach Monarch-Tier, why would I even resist? I’ll gladly make you my first married pet beast, right!?” As Lian Xing finished her manipulative speech, the anger in Moonlight Rabbit’s eyes faded, replaced by a spark of interest.

A married pet beast was different from an ordinary pet beast.

Changing a pet beast contract to a marriage contract meant that the relationship between master and pet beast changed from master-servant to lovers. Not only would the pet beast’s range and freedom increase, but it could also act independently, without its master’s permission.

And more importantly, a married pet beast could even give commands to other pet beasts.

This meant that it could bully its master whenever it wanted, and the other pet beasts could only watch, unable to interfere.

However, the Moonlight Rabbit quickly suppressed its excitement and said warily,

[Master, you’re right, but I don’t trust you. You’re a liar.]

[I want to sign the marriage contract first, then break through to Monarch-Tier before we consummate our relationship.]

[Pet beasts don’t lie.]

At this moment, as the Moonlight Rabbit’s serious words echoed, Lian Xing’s confident expression crumbled.

She had already prepared various excuses for after the Moonlight Rabbit reached Monarch-Tier, but she hadn’t expected it to see through her plan.

“Fine, fine, I’ll give you the marriage contract!!!” Lian Xing said, defeated.

It was just selling her body…it wasn’t a big deal…

As long as it served her evolutionary goals, she wouldn’t even hesitate to sacrifice…her own mother!!!

So, under Lian Xing’s nervous gaze, the small Moonlight Rabbit, enveloped in a bright light, transformed into the Royal-Tier Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. However, unlike before, it appeared in its half-human form.

The woman wore white, furry thigh-high stockings and a translucent, off-the-shoulder top, her long, white hair flowing like a cape. Eight soft, petal-like ears drooped on either side of her head, and her beautiful face and exquisite features made Lian Xing speechless…

Meanwhile, Star Sand, within Lian Xing, was drooling…

This was the first time they had seen Moonlight Rabbit’s human form.

Shining Species were truly beautiful…

Maybe I should just give in now, before it even reaches Monarch-Tier…? Lian Xing thought, a hint of regret.

But in the next second, she was pulled into the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s embrace, its warm aura making her dizzy…

And then, as their lips met, an illusory mark appeared on the Moonlight Rabbit’s life crystal.

[Marriage contract slot -1, remaining slots: 2]

[Range increased tenfold, but you can no longer sense Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s thoughts.]

[Pregnancy probability greatly increased.]

“…”
“…”

A moment later, Lian Xing, released by the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, collapsed into its arms, her body limp. Although Lian Xing was now…fair game, Moonlight Rabbit kept its promise, not touching her further before reaching Monarch-Tier.

Once again proving that pet beasts didn’t lie…

And the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s mood had also improved significantly.

[Eclipse]

“Crunch—”

50 Limit-Breaking Seeds were swallowed whole.

Normally, a main battle pet beast wouldn’t monopolize all the Limit-Breaking Seeds, usually splitting them with the other pet beasts in the lineup.

But Moonlight Rabbit was different. It was a Shining Species, the designated MVP, the wielder of Calamity Sun.

Without Moonlight Rabbit, Mist Colt, Star Sand, and the Great Lord Biluo wouldn’t even be able to scratch a Sovereign-Tier Emperor.

Soon, five new Arcane Art panels appeared before Lian Xing.

And with just a glance, Lian Xing was shocked by the Shining Species’s fifth-stage Arcane Arts.

Fifth-stage Arcane Arts, also known as Ultimate Arcane Arts. Sometimes, to fulfill early evolution requirements, Beast Tamers had to sacrifice these, which was a headache for many.

And now, Moonlight Rabbit had finally obtained its Ultimate Arcane Arts, two of them at once.

Chapter 181: Moonlight Rabbit’s Jealousy, Forced Evolution into a Married Pet Beast! 

2nd-level region, Beast Tamer Alliance. A month had passed since Flood’s departure. The crimson sea in the sky had mostly dissipated. As the Fallen Pet Essence particles dispersed, the Emperor-Tier Mechanical Species pet beasts of the surviving powers began their work, rebuilding the cities. However, due to Flood’s lingering aura, weaker pet beasts couldn’t leave their designated areas.

Meanwhile, inside the Jade Face Spring at the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters…

“Wuwuwu, no, I was wrong! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have accepted Snow Flower’s kiss…”

“I shouldn’t have made that lewd and inviting expression. I should have looked more disgusted. Wuwuwu, please stop tormenting me…”

As Silver Dragon, the Hidden Moon Marquis, and Tears Maiden arrived at the entrance of the Jade Face Spring, they heard these embarrassing sounds.

It was clearly Lian Xing’s voice.

Silver Dragon’s face turned crimson, her body trembling, her fists clenched.

Who…who was doing this to Lian Xing…!?

Even she hadn’t…

Meanwhile, Tears Maiden’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Uh…it seems we came at a bad time… Let’s come back later…” the Hidden Moon Marquis said awkwardly, scratching her cheek. She hadn’t expected Lian Xing to be doing that in the Jade Face Spring. Was the Jade Face Spring even usable now?

No, wait, shouldn’t they increase the price…?

“It’s fine, let’s go in. Although this is private, I’m Lian Xing’s wife, so there’s no need to avoid her. In fact, as her wife, I have a duty to check on her…” Tears Maiden said, her voice slightly trembling, her words incoherent…

The Hidden Moon Marquis tried to dissuade her, but Tears Maiden ignored her, Silver Dragon’s face also turning red. So, the three of them entered the Jade Face Spring, holding their breath.

In the next second, they were met with a highly inappropriate scene.

The golden-haired girl was being held down in the water by a golden, glowing rabbit, its countless ears, like tentacles, moving all over her body. And Lian Xing, like someone trapped in a coffin, struggled and thrashed, her eyes unfocused, her expression one of utter torment…

Seeing the three figures at the entrance, Lian Xing’s eyes snapped open, and she struggled even more frantically, her body thrashing like a fish out of water…

“…”

“…”

A few seconds later, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon also noticed the newcomers, but it didn’t release Lian Xing, instead pulling her closer protectively, like a dog guarding its food…

Activating Shining Awakening just to bully its master?

What a strange pet beast…

“Whoosh!”

In the next second, a mysterious aura emanated from Tears Maiden. Without warning, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was teleported three meters away. Before it could even react, Lian Xing, gathering her Pet Essence, recalled it to her pet beast space.

“Grrrr!!!” The Moonlight Rabbit growled angrily within Lian Xing.

Lian Xing, coughing and sputtering, her face red, climbed out of the water and explained, “Cough, cough…”

“It’s not what you think. I wasn’t being assaulted by my own pet beast. I was just playing with it. After all, managing a pet beast’s mood is also a Beast Tamer’s responsibility…”

“Those who understand, they understand. No need to explain to those who don’t…” Lian Xing said, forcing a smile under their strange gazes.

Then, she glanced at Tears Maiden.

That being within her…it was that one, right…?

“Lian Xing, this lord has something important to discuss with you. Could you refrain from playing with your pet beast for now?” Tears Maiden said, her voice slightly strained, emphasizing the word “playing.”

A mechanical butterfly with steel wings emerged from her flowing, watery hair. Its small body was covered in intricate gears and meticulously crafted parts. Seeing this thing, the culprit behind its sudden teleportation, the Moonlight Rabbit within Lian Xing roared angrily.

This was—

Recreate, the leader of the Seven Heavens, one of the 72 Legends…

“I have something to discuss with the Star Concubine. Please excuse us—”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”

In the next second, as the steel butterfly’s voice echoed, Silver Dragon, the Hidden Moon Marquis, and Tears Maiden were teleported away without warning.

The Jade Face Spring was now empty, only the steel butterfly and the golden-haired girl remained.

Then, the steel butterfly, its wings fluttering, said, “Star Concubine, I have a request…”

“I plan to use my death to activate my once-in-a-lifetime Legend Arcane Art, reviving all the beings in Baiyue Province who were killed by Flood.”

“At the cost of my own life, I will break through Flood’s level and aura.”

“And after my death, I will be reborn in the new world in six months. Because the gate between our Pet Beast World and the new world has been broken, my next reincarnation won’t be here.”

“Six months later, I will initiate a Speed Puzzle in the new world.”

“And then–I want you to retrieve me…”

“Star Concubine, don’t refuse yet. I know you won’t agree, because your lineup doesn’t need a Mechanical Species, and you probably think a Speed Puzzle is too troublesome, having to temporarily abandon your pet beasts and start over. It requires a lot of preparation…”

“But what if I, a high-ranking Legend, willingly become a mechanical part in your lineup?”

“…”

“…”

As the steel butterfly finished speaking, Lian Xing’s initially indifferent expression turned to shock.

Recreate, one of the 72 Legends, it wanted to become a part in her next life!?

The Celestial Anchor, the Great Lord Biluo, it still had two part slots available.

If it absorbed Recreate, a Legend…just how powerful would it become…? She couldn’t even imagine.

Then she could just kill NPCs, and have them respawn…!!!

But after a moment of hesitation, Lian Xing shook her head.

“Recreate, your request is tempting, but I’ll have to refuse…”

“I can’t abandon any of my pet beasts. To retrieve a former pet beast, I would have to abandon those I contracted during the competition. As a Beast Tamer, I can’t do that.”

“…”

“…”

“I see…”

“Then farewell Star Concubine and Sister Star Sand…” Recreate said, its voice filled with a mixture of admiration and resignation, as it lowered its head.

Then, with a flicker of its wings, it vanished.

Lian Xing sighed.

Soon, after cleaning Moonlight Rabbit’s ears, she left the Jade Face Spring.

Seeing that only the golden-haired girl had emerged, Tears Maiden shook her head helplessly. She had already discussed Lian Xing’s personality with Recreate, but it had still insisted on asking personally.

As expected…

Lian Xing had refused.

“…”

“…”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!”

Suddenly, a torrential downpour of silvery-white rain began to fall from the sky above the Beast Tamer Alliance, spreading throughout the Pet Beast World. As Flood’s terrifying Pet Essence was washed away, mountains and rivers reappeared, and countless beings, their bodies glowing, were revived, looking around in confusion.

Seeing this miraculous scene, the four of them fell silent.

Even after being rejected, Recreate had still activated its Arcane Art.

At the cost of its own life, it had restored the Pet Beast World to its state before Flood’s arrival.

After a moment of silence, Silver Dragon asked, “Lian Xing, you’re not going to the new world, are you?”

“…”

“…”

“Yes, I am—”

“Huh? But you rejected Recreate’s request, right? Then why not stay here a little longer, leave behind some offspring before you go?” Tears Maiden asked, her gaze shifting slightly.

Silver Dragon nodded in agreement.

However, Lian Xing tilted her head, confused.

“Is the Speed Puzzle that important?”

“Only those who are weaker than the host need to participate. Since I’m stronger, why should I?”

“And why are you two looking at me like that? I’m not even 17 yet. Are you planning to do something to me…?” As Lian Xing finished speaking, both Tears Maiden and Silver Dragon looked away, embarrassed.

Lian Xing wouldn’t participate in any Speed Puzzle.

But she wasn’t going to let Recreate go.

She would just have to cause some trouble in the new world, wouldn’t she…?

Besides, there were no more worthy opponents left in this Pet Beast World, not even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Staying here would only hinder her evolution.

[427622, the Fallen Species Emperor, Flood, from the new world, descended upon this world, destroying millions of regions, causing countless casualties.]

[427622, Star Concubine Lian Xing, from Baiyue Province, joined forces with Snow Flower and repelled Flood.]

[427622, Recreate, the Great Emperor of the Seven Heavens, sacrificed itself to revive all living beings.]

[427622, Star Concubine embarks on a journey to the new world.]

---

---

One month later…

Beast Tamer Alliance’s subordinate region, Baiyue Province.

As a faint aura flickered, Lian Xing’s former teammates from Youlan Academy, and the golden fox, the guardian, looked up. But in the next second, the familiar aura vanished, and they continued their activities, either sleeping or training their pet beasts.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing, her golden hair styled in buns, along with Silver Dragon, Tears Maiden, and Thunder Fly, floated in the sky above Baiyue Province, looking down at the tiny region.

Back then, Lian Xing, with her Moonlight Rabbit, had left this insignificant place.

“Alright, everyone, our short trip is over.”

“If you need anything, come find me in the new world—”

“I’ll set up a Star Gate at my first base. Come when you’re ready~~~” With that, Lian Xing gave each of the three girls a Star Key.

They had traveled from the Beast Tamer Alliance to the Seven Heavens and Worry-Free Pond, then back to Baiyue Province, just to see Lian Xing off…

Actually, Jade Lady had also signed up for this trip, but Lian Xing had ruthlessly rejected her. After all, with Flood’s aura gone, Jade Lady’s Lover chat group was active again. She didn’t want her every action being scrutinized by millions of people.

After saying goodbye to her online lovers, Lian Xing, riding Cloud and Dream’s Promise, vanished in an instant, her golden figure shrinking as she ascended, finally disappearing above the clouds, under the watchful eyes of the incomplete moon.

Thunder Fly, Silver Dragon, and Tears Maiden all looked at the spot where Lian Xing had vanished, their expressions filled with longing.

They didn’t know when they would meet again.

Even Snow Flower had gotten a kiss, but they hadn’t…

---

---

New world, Sanctuary Gate.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t a gate anymore.

The connection between the new world and the lower Pet Beast World had been shattered, any being ascending through the sky could now freely enter the new world. Even the gatekeeper had been temporarily replaced to prevent beings from the lower world from entering.

At this moment, in the turbulent void above…

A Mechanical Species Sovereign, one of the Moonwalker Mother’s subordinates, which had once tried to analyze Moon Calamity and almost died, was checking the Pet Essence levels of various powers in that lower Pet Beast World.

Suddenly, hearing footsteps, it looked over curiously.

As a cloud of mist swirled, a golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes appeared.

“Oh, the first intruder? So soon?”

“Little girl, although the barrier is broken, I suggest you return. Come back when you have a Sovereign-Tier Emperor,” the Mechanical Species Sovereign said, its voice amused, seeing that she was just a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer.

However, the golden-haired girl ignored it, walking towards the light in the distance. Seeing this, the Mechanical Species Emperor frowned, then raised its hand.

Since words were useless, it would have to use force…

However, in the next second—

The moment the Mechanical Species Emperor raised its hand…

The golden-haired girl simply glanced at it, and its thoughts and data, as a Mechanical Species, froze… Its body trembled, sweat dripping from its metallic parts. Then, it stood there, motionless, watching as the golden-haired girl walked past it, her terrifying aura fading into the distance.

“…”

“…”

[December 16th, 2023, Lian Xing arrives in the Moon Soul World.]

Chapter 180: Lian Xing’s Ancient Species from a Past Life!!!

—New World, Fallen Emperor Flood’s trajectory—

With a mighty stomp from the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, Flood, the Fallen Species that had terrorized the new world for millions of years, was reduced to a skeletal husk. Its massive frame remained, but devoid of flesh and blood, its aura dissipating.

How…how could a Fallen Species be injured to this extent? What level of power did this Ancient Species possess? For millions of kilometers, silence reigned. This scene defied all logic and understanding. Even the Moonwalker Mother, the Sanctuary Guardian, was stunned.

Under everyone’s horrified gaze, the white-haired rabbit woman stood atop Flood’s massive skeletal frame, the surrounding space vibrating from its power. It didn’t attack further, and Flood remained motionless, its life crystal hidden. No one dared to move a muscle, afraid of attracting its attention.

Then, after a while, Flood’s skeletal frame began to move, carrying the Ancient Species away from the new world, its speed, now unburdened by flesh, hundreds of times faster, the wind pressure from its movement alone creating devastation. The Moonwalker Mother’s attendants were pushed back, their expressions grim.

“Sanctuary Guardian, what do you make of this Ancient Species?”

“It defeated Flood instantly. Its level must be over ten thousand, right?”

“It seems our Moon Soul World is about to change…”

“Sanctuary Guardian!?” Receiving no response, they looked at each other, then realized the white deer woman in the wedding dress had vanished.

---

“Thud!” A heavy sound echoed behind the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, which turned casually. In its fragmented, moon-like eyes, a white-haired woman with icy antlers appeared. This time, the Moonlight Rabbit’s eyes clearly reflected her image. The Moonwalker Mother, her body wreathed in a dreamlike mist, stood on Flood’s skeletal frame, her expression serious.

“I am the Third Sanctuary Guardian, Moonwalker.”

“From which world do you come?”

“A Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species cannot be born without a catalyst. You must have entered from another world.”

“This is a serious intrusion, an act of war.”

“And…forcing a Fallen Species Emperor to shed its skin without provocation is a grave violation.”

However, before the Moonwalker Mother could finish, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit began walking towards her, its heavy steps creating shockwaves, the air cracking around it. The Moonwalker Mother chuckled self-deprecatingly, then, reaching into a nearby vortex of clouds, pulled out a five-meter long, ornate fan.

“I almost forgot, reasoning with an Ancient Species is pointless~~~”

The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit stopped before her, the two white-haired figures facing each other, sparks of energy flashing between them. But just as the Moonwalker Mother raised her fan…

A pet beast panel suddenly appeared, blocking her view. Seeing the shared panel, the Moonwalker Mother froze. After a long moment, it finally processed the information.

[Ancient Species]

[Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit]

“This…this…this is actually our world’s panel system…”

Seeing the Ancient Species’s level, the Moonwalker Mother almost choked. In this Pet Beast World, Fallen Species had the most inflated levels, due to their constant destruction over millions of years. Even mosquito meat was still meat, so the Four Fallen Emperors were all around level 20,000. Besides them, the Sanctuary Guardians and the Shining Duo were around level 16,000 or 17,000, considered the strongest.

But Ancient Species…

Although they didn’t have tiers, once their level surpassed ten thousand, their power increased exponentially.

The Moonwalker Mother, although shocked, out of courtesy, shared its own panel.

[Dominator · Elemental Species]

[LV17226]

[Supreme Azure Calamity (Moonwalker)]

“…”

“…”

Strictly speaking, “Dominator” wasn’t a tier above Emperor. The transition from Emperor to Dominator didn’t involve a change in form, but the acquisition of new abilities, their power enough to affect the world’s rules, but their species remained the same.

However, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit didn’t seem interested in the Moonwalker Mother’s panel and turned to walk towards Flood’s skeletal remains. Watching the elegant, white rabbit woman’s retreating figure, the Moonwalker Mother frowned.

It didn’t seem hostile.

And since it wasn’t an intruder from another world, there was no reason to stop it. Forcing a Fallen Species to shed its skin was a grey area. Whether it constituted a threat…was debatable. The main concern was that it might push the Fallen Species to the next stage, then, unable to defeat it, abandon this world, leaving the mess for others to clean up.

But it didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking Flood further…

Forget it…

It’ll be leaving her jurisdiction soon anyway…

As long as their battle doesn’t affect her world…

“Whoosh!”

Thinking of this, the Moonwalker Mother retreated, her figure dissolving into mist at the edge of Flood’s skeletal remains. And at the same time, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, turned its head, glancing at the devastated Pet Beast World.

“I’ll be waiting for you…”

“At the place where Storm and Shining meet every 80 years…”

“We will defeat the apex of this world…” With these indifferent words, the white rabbit woman sat down on Flood’s skeletal frame, and the two figures, a Fallen Species Emperor and a Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species, flew away, disappearing into the distance.

Meanwhile…

— Inside the bubble world, the lower Pet Beast World —

After a glimpse of that familiar white figure, Lian Xing quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at it.

This world was full of monsters… First Flood, now Moon Calamity.

Facing beings of this level, ordinary creatures were like NPCs, destined to be killed and then respawned…

A few seconds later, the crimson sea covering the sky slowly dissipated. Under the incredulous gazes of the Emperors, the golden-haired girl, her hair loose, was falling from the sky. She tumbled gracefully through the air, then, just a few meters above the ground, was caught by Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s mist.

“Whew~~~”

“The crisis is averted. Finally…time to relax…” Lian Xing said, standing up slowly.

At the same time, Snow Flower emerged from Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Viral Space, looking at the golden-haired girl with a gentle expression.

With Flood gone, it was time for her to leave.

Calamity Sun, however, seemed unstable, as if frightened by the Ancient Species’s aura, its own aura fluctuating slightly. Actually, the reason Calamity Sun had suspected a connection between Lian Xing and Moon Calamity was because, after being captured by Moon Calamity, it hadn’t been forcefully used…

Or rather, Calamity Sun had offered its contract to Moon Calamity, but then, to its mixed feelings of humiliation, resentment, and excitement, Moon Calamity had simply ignored it.

But, eagerly offering itself to an Ancient Species and being rejected…it was too embarrassing to admit, so Calamity Sun hadn’t told the Seven Heavens about Moon Calamity’s behavior.

Back then, Moon Calamity had made a special trip to Baiyue Province, giving it to a real Low-Tier Moonlight Rabbit along the way, not entering Baiyue Province itself. And then, that Low-Tier Moonlight Rabbit had accidentally encountered the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, which was battling a Royal-Tier pet beast…

So, Calamity Sun had initially thought that Moon Calamity had been grooming Lian Xing, but after asking, it realized that Moon Calamity had simply randomly chosen a Moonlight Rabbit of the same species and given it away…

And after that, the ordinary Moonlight Rabbit, blown away, had disappeared…

Realizing it had been a coincidence, Calamity Sun was speechless. It hadn’t expected such a clichéd plot point to happen to it.

But…

Calamity Sun glanced at the pure golden, Shining Moonlight Rabbit with a relieved expression.

It had been a lucky coincidence~~~

This Moonlight Rabbit’s potential wasn’t necessarily lower than Moon Calamity’s~~~

Meanwhile, as Calamity Sun pondered, Lian Xing recalled all her pet beasts except for the Golden Leaf, which was still with Snow Flower. Then, she looked at the ice-cold snow woman in the burial shroud.

“Snow Flower, Golden Leaf…I don’t know when we’ll meet again…”

“Take this Star Order. If you encounter any danger in the new world, crush it and return here. No, perhaps I’ll be going to the new world too. Then you’ll have another Star Gate as an escape route~~~”

After receiving the Star Order, Snow Flower nodded, then gently hugged Lian Xing. There was no lust or passion in this embrace, just a friend’s reluctance to part.

Lian Xing accepted the hug calmly. After dealing with so many horny individuals, this pure friendship felt strange…

Snow Flower would probably reach Monarch-Tier soon. Then, with its unrestricted movement and the Golden Leaf, which also had Fallen characteristics, it would be a formidable force, perhaps even a match for an ordinary Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor.

And once the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon reached Monarch-Tier, unlocking another contract slot, she could finally retrieve Snow Flower.

In the next second, as Lian Xing’s mind wandered, Snow Flower gently cupped her face in its cold hands.

“…”

“…”

“Chu!!!”

Instantly, under the stunned gazes of Lian Xing’s pet beasts within her…

Before she could even react, the snow woman’s cold lips pressed against hers.

Time stopped.

Lian Xing’s expression froze.

Ten seconds later, the kiss ended, and Snow Flower released her.

“Whoosh—” The snow woman, with a lingering glance, turned and flew away, snowflakes swirling around its white figure, disappearing into the sky. At the same time, Tears Maiden, Jade Lady, Thunder Fly, the Second Princess, Silver Dragon, and the others, who had just arrived, stared at the scene in disbelief.

Even Moonlight Rabbit, bursting forth from Lian Xing’s body, stomped its feet and whined as it watched Snow Flower leave.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing touched her lips, her expression confused.

“Fri-friendship…?”

Fallen Heaven, Fallen Heaven!!!

Chapter 179: The Ancient Species, Moon Calamity!!!

Ordinary beings couldn’t comprehend the full form of a Fallen Species Emperor, only gleaning fragmented information and depictions from ancient records. Flood’s true form was a massive, blood-red whale, the heaviest of the Four Disasters. Everything beneath its path would be crushed by its terrifying aura.

At this moment, the white-haired deer woman in a wedding dress stood not far from Flood, her beautiful face grim, as she watched the colossal being swim past.

“Sanctuary Guardian, the timing is right. If we divert its course now, we can save that Pet Beast World,” a Mechanical Species Emperor behind her reported.

“Understood,” the Moonwalker Mother replied, her voice grave. She hadn’t given up on saving Lian Xing and Tears Maiden, but a direct intervention would cause Flood to turn around…

And if that bubble world, which was only supposed to be grazed by Flood’s aura, was hit by its tail…

It would be obliterated…

So, the Moonwalker Mother had waited for this specific angle and timing. If she could provoke Flood here, at the moment it turned, that bubble world would briefly be exposed to the new world.

That would be their chance to rescue them.

They couldn’t save everyone, so their priority was seven individuals: Lian Xing, Tears Maiden, Snow Flower, Calamity Sun, Returning Dust, Yellow Dragon, and Recreate. Yellow Dragon and Recreate were both Sovereign-Tier Emperors of the Seven Heavens. Recreate, a rare Mechanical Species Legend, could digitize a living being’s data, but only if their level wasn’t too high and they hadn’t been killed by a stronger opponent. If not for Recreate, this Pet Beast World would have been destroyed countless times.

“Whoosh——!!”

The Moonwalker Mother reached into a swirling vortex of mist, preparing to unleash her attack. But then she froze.

“Boom!!!!”

A black, pulsed beam of energy suddenly erupted from Flood’s tail, sending the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, Weaving Flame Red Silk, flying towards the new world. The Moonwalker Mother’s vision wasn’t that far-reaching, she hadn’t seen the attack, only sensed the auras of Calamity Sun, Star Sand, Snow Flower, and the Shining Moonlight Rabbit.

“Wait…”

“Is Lian Xing…fighting…on Flood’s body!?”

“This is bad…!” The Moonwalker Mother’s expression turned to concern.

What if her attack drew Flood’s attention, and it accidentally killed Lian Xing by compressing its Pet Essence?

No, she had to act.

It would be too late otherwise!

Lian Xing, I hope you can sense my aura…

So, the moment Flood’s aura expanded…

The Moonwalker Mother also attacked.

“Crack—”

A giant, illusory cloud spear pierced through Flood’s front half. Although this attack, for a being of Flood’s size, was like a pinprick, it still got its attention, its movement shifting slightly, its front half turning.

Seeing this, the Moonwalker Mother’s subordinates’ expressions brightened.

But before they could celebrate…

Flood’s turning motion stopped abruptly, as if it had frozen…

And the Moonwalker Mother’s expression also froze.

Then, it slowly looked up.

A small, white, humanoid figure was standing on Flood’s back!!!

Compared to Flood’s immense size, like a starry sky, this figure was like a microorganism, not as radiant as a Shining Species.

But…

This pressure emanating from its bloodline…what was this…?

How could such a being exist…?

“Don’t scan it!!!” the Moonwalker Mother warned, but it was too late.

“Bang!”

The Mechanical Species Emperor behind it exploded, its parts scattering everywhere. The Moonwalker Mother sighed and created a cloud of mist to gather the broken parts.

In the next second, the air and Pet Essence around the small, white figure on Flood’s back began to distort and sink, as if about to be crushed…

This tiny figure was shaking Flood’s colossal body!!!

Meanwhile, witnessing this unbelievable scene, the Moonwalker Mother and its subordinates quickly retreated, observing the figure from a safe distance, their breath held.

“An Ancient Species…”

---

---

Under everyone’s gaze, high above, on Flood’s back…

The white-haired woman’s long hair fluttered wildly in the blood-red wind, two soft, velvet-like ears on her head, a giant, white, ball-like tail behind her.

And then—

She raised her foot, aiming at Flood below.

“Boom!!”

At this moment, a terrifying, suffocating, Ancient Emperor-Tier aura descended upon the new world, countless regions trembling, pet beasts fainting, Flood’s path itself turning into a Pet Essence-less void…

And what was even more terrifying, its incredibly dense and heavy aura had crushed a large section of Flood’s back.

“Are you here for me?”

“A nearly level 20,000 Fallen Species…do you also want to experience defeat…?”

“…”

“…”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, as the white-haired rabbit woman’s foot landed, the sky above the nearby world shattered like a hammered mirror, a deafening explosion echoing. The shockwave, centered on Flood’s body, turned the surrounding space within a radius of millions of kilometers into shattered fragments. All the Emperor-Tier pet beasts nearby were sent flying, bleeding from their seven orifices.

Even the Moonwalker Mother had to cover its ears.

Almost all the living beings in this region were knocked unconscious the moment the Ancient Species’s and the Fallen Species’s auras clashed.

And then, Flood’s protective aura and its flesh were torn open…

“Rip, rip, rip—”

Chunks of flesh and blood rained down from the sky.

At the same time, within the Pet Beast World, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon also unleashed its full power, its body blazing like a giant flashbang, blinding all who saw it.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

In the next second, countless golden crescent moons erupted from its ears, bombarding the blood-red sea in the sky, accompanied by black, pulsed laser beams. The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was like a living turret, unleashing an endless barrage of Waxing and Waning and Calamity Sun, the sky filled with golden crescent moons and black beams.

[Waxing and Waning ∞]

[Twilight ∞]

[Star Plucker ∞]

[Wrist Bone Duel ∞]

[Falling Abyss]

One second, three seconds, ten seconds, half a minute passed, the relentless assault continuing without pause. And gradually, under everyone’s shocked gazes, the crimson sea in the sky began to recede, as if it were being suppressed by the Shining Moonlight Rabbit.

Finally, with a deafening “Boom!!!”, the blood-red sea shattered into dust.

The impact, like a meteor collision, shook the entire Pet Beast World.

Even the Seven Heavens and Worry-Free Pond, their defenses and their 2nd-level regions, crumbled, their buildings swept away by the shockwave.

And Lian Xing, protected by Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s shield, was also pushed back. She quickly activated her Eleventh Zodiac eye, trying to see what was happening in the new world. Although she believed that the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s full power could protect this Pet Beast World, it couldn’t possibly destroy Flood’s aura.

Had Flood truly been defeated by the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon…?

With this question in mind, Lian Xing looked towards the new world.

And in the next second, her expression froze.

Not only Lian Xing, but all the beings in the new world near Flood’s path, including the still-flying Weaving Flame Red Silk and the Moonwalker Mother, who was watching from a safe distance, their expressions were filled with shock.

Before them, Flood’s massive skeletal remains, its flesh and blood completely gone, stretched from one end of their field of vision to the other.

An Emperor-Tier Fallen Species…

Could it be  injured to this extent…?

Who…who had done this…?

Lian Xing looked up at the skeleton, and in that instant, as her eyes burned with pain, a familiar white figure appeared in her vision.

Just a glimpse, and Lian Xing had to cover her eyes.

What…what level, what tier, what species was that…!?

Even she couldn’t see it clearly…?

“…”

“…”

“Moon Calamity…” Calamity Sun muttered, its voice trembling slightly.

Hearing this, Lian Xing instantly understood.

Moon Calamity…wasn’t that the Ancient Species that had defeated the Cycle of Calamity’s Emperor?

Why had it come to the new world?

And it had even defeated Flood…

Normally, a lower Pet Beast World couldn’t produce an Ancient Species above level ten thousand, right!?

“Master, do you know Moon Calamity?”

“Of course not. Why would you ask that?” Lian Xing replied, shaking her head, confused.

“Nothing, I just thought it was here to rescue you…”

“How is that possible? Flood was simply too arrogant…and was targeted, right?”

Lian Xing shook her head. She had only been in this world for a year, how could she possibly know an Ancient Species of that level?

But at this moment, as that white figure appeared in its vision, Calamity Sun remembered the destruction of the Cycle of Calamity a year ago.

Even now, it still felt a chill run down its nonexistent spine.

No one could understand that despair…

When Moon Calamity had arrived, it hadn’t even attacked. Just its aura alone had been enough to crush the Cycle of Calamity Emperor’s body.

“Who are you!!!?”

“Why are you looking at me!!!”

“How can an Ancient Species of this level even exist!!!?”

“This isn’t normal! This shouldn’t be possible outside the new world!!!”

“Stop looking at me!!!”

But the Ancient Species hadn’t responded to the Cycle of Calamity Emperor’s desperate pleas, its gaze fixed on it. In the end, the Cycle of Calamity Emperor, abandoning Calamity Sun, had crawled away, escaping the Ancient Species’s aura.

That day, Calamity Sun had witnessed…

The Ancient Species hadn’t even moved, simply watching as the Cycle of Calamity Emperor fled.

And from that day forward, it had understood…

The most despairing thing wasn’t death or defeat.

Not a mistake in evolution, not even the suppression of Legends or bloodlines.

But the fact that the opponent was right before you, yet you couldn’t even see them…

Too insignificant…

Chapter 178: Ancient Moonlight Rabbit!!! 

“Boom!!!!”

With a deafening roar, Flood’s protective aura was torn open. A spiraling, black beam of energy, like a pulsed laser, pierced through, annihilating the lice in its path and sending the only Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor present flying. Like a skipped stone, the red-haired woman with the golden crown tumbled across Flood’s body for hundreds of kilometers before finally stopping.

After a moment of silence, her body half-scorched, she looked up at the hole in Flood’s aura in disbelief. And then, under the shocked gazes of hundreds of Emperors nearby, Lian Xing’s pet beast lineup, led by the golden Moonlight Rabbit, entered Flood’s aura.

A Shining Species…

Star Sand…

Snow Flower…

And Calamity Sun…!!!

Each pet beast’s appearance further intensified the Emperors’ shock and awe.

Two high-ranking 72 Legends…

How could they be in this lower Pet Beast World…!?

And how could Flood’s aura be breached…?

It was incomprehensible…!!!

This was the power of Calamity Sun—

At the same time, sensing the disturbance in the crimson sky, the guardians of the various powers within the Pet Beast World also looked on in disbelief.

What…

Lian Xing had actually entered Flood’s aura!?

What was she thinking!?

Was she planning to face all the lice and Flood itself…alone…?

How was that even possible!?

Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl smiled, calmly meeting the Emperors’ gazes, then spoke.

“Hello, and—”

“Farewell…”

“Boom!!!!!”

“Buzzzzzz—”

Instantly, a terrifying shockwave erupted. Centered around the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, a golden aura, like shattering glass, spread outwards, all pet beasts below Emperor-Tier sent flying, even the weaker Emperors were immobilized.

Seeing this, a Sovereign-Tier Emperor in the distance shrieked, “A Shining Species…!! Is she trying to kill us all…!? This will attract Flood’s attention!!!”

Hearing this, the other Emperors froze, their faces turning pale.

The reason they dared to stay on Flood’s body was because it couldn’t even sense their presence.

But how could a Shining Species’s aura go unnoticed!?

Was she insane, risking her life, along with three Legends and a Shining Species, just to protect this insignificant world!?

Just as they despaired, the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, which had been blown away earlier, quickly reacted. Like an arrow, it shot towards the center of the battlefield, shouting,

“All Emperors, attack! Now!!! End this quickly!!!”

“And don’t activate Awakening!!!”

“…”

“…”

“Whoosh, whoosh, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”

Instantly, multicolored combat skills, unleashed by the lice Emperors, bombarded the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, even two allied Emperors near the enemy’s lineup were caught in the blast. Facing this sudden attack, they could only prioritize their own survival, ignoring their comrades…

However…

A few seconds later, as the dust settled…

Two allied Emperor-Tier life crystals shimmered in the air, while the golden-haired girl’s lineup was unharmed. The Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit stood its ground, its aura radiating outwards. And beside it stood the snow woman in the white shroud and the emerald green, mist-like antelope.

[Coiling Clouds, North Wind, Illustrious Form, Heavenly Punishment]

[Ice Prison, Frozen Hell, Snow Thorns]

“Boom!!!!!”

In the next second, on the right, countless black, lightning-like arcs, like darts, pierced through the ranks of the lice, paralyzing them. And on the left, one after another, the Emperors were frozen into ice statues, a blizzard of snowflakes covering thousands of kilometers.

At this moment, although Cloud and Dream’s Promise had activated Heavenly Punishment, it hadn’t used Divine Retribution. Because Heavenly Punishment was unlimited, but Divine Retribution could only target a single enemy. There was no need to waste it on these small fry…

Meanwhile, as the more distant enemies were still in shock, Celestial Bride’s Star Sea, the golden, elemental figure at the back of Lian Xing’s lineup, its expression strained, slowly clasped its hands together, its palms formed from wind and sand.

[Star Vortex]

“Dong!!!!!”

Instantly, as a giant, golden vortex appeared, all the paralyzed and frozen Emperors were pulled towards Star Sand, their speed so great that their companions couldn’t even react in time. In the next second, with a deafening explosion, dozens of Emperors collided, ice and blood splattering everywhere.

And then—

“Crunch.”

Snow Flower’s giant icy tail slammed down, crushing the pile of bodies into dust.

At this moment, silence fell.

Even the lice Emperors further away, their faces pale and covered in sweat, watched this group of invaders in silence.

Facing opponents of this level, not activating Awakening, aiming for a quick victory…?

Were they…dreaming…?

“Whoosh—”

Just then, the red-haired woman with the golden crown, who had been blown away earlier, finally reached the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. Without a word, it unleashed its fiery, crane feather-like wings.

Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor · Weaving Flame Red Silk, a Sky-type Biological Species!!!

At this moment, its power was comparable to the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s Second Stage Awakening!!!

Facing this attack, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s fur bristled.

However, at that moment…

As its gaze met the golden-haired girl’s starry eyes, the Weaving Flame Red Silk felt a mocking laughter echoing in its mind.

“Not even the courage to activate Awakening, afraid of disturbing Flood…”

“A pathetic creature like you…you call yourself a Ten Thousand Level pet beast?”

“…”

“…”

In that moment of hesitation…

The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s thousands of ears, spread out like a peacock’s tail, aimed at the Weaving Flame Red Silk’s crystal. And at the center of its countless golden ears, a black, iron ball with demonic horns grinned…

[Shining · Six Ears Fully Unleashed]

[Shining · Flexibility Enhancement]

[Shining · Star Plucker X24000]

[Shining · Wrist Bone Duel X24000]

[Shining · Twilight X24000]

[Shining · Flurry, Combo, Power Throw, Moon’s Grace X24000]

[Aurora Hammer X24000]

[Bloodline Combat Skill · Moon-Pounding]

[Bloodline Combat Skill · Eclipse (Having consumed the real moon, Shining power maximized)]

And…

Devilish Smile, Black Quality combat skill.

[—Falling Abyss—]

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, thrown by the Moonlight Rabbit with superluminal speed…

The black, pulsed beam of energy, carrying the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, shot across the sky, a blurry afterimage, instantly disappearing from the Emperors’ field of vision. Along its path, all the lice were pierced by Twilight’s smaller, black lasers. And the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, its eyes wide with horror, continued to fly backwards uncontrollably, its body mangled, towards the edge of Flood’s aura.

“No, no, no, I can’t leave Flood! I can’t!!!”

“Stop! Stop!!!” As it approached the edge of Flood’s aura, the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor screamed, struggling futilely. The sheer force of its backward flight prevented it from even moving a finger.

[Falling Abyss (Black): The greater the throwing power, the greater the knockback effect on the enemy. Significantly enhances knockback.]

This combat skill’s effect seemed ordinary…

But…

The user was the Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit.

And the projectile—was Devilish Smile!!!

Soon, the Weaving Flame Red Silk’s back touched the edge of Flood’s aura, and then, under its despairing gaze, it was ejected…

“Boom!!!!!”

In the next second, the black beam of energy pierced through the new world’s sky, the terrifying shockwave shaking the surrounding regions. Under the incredulous gazes of countless beings in the new world, the black beam, carrying the red figure, continued its flight, crossing millions of kilometers.

Although Flood’s massive, blood-red body still seemed close, the Weaving Flame Red Silk’s expression was ashen…

It was like jumping inside a train car, your position relative to the train remaining the same. They had been able to move freely within Flood’s aura because it had negated their inertia.

In reality, Flood’s speed was incomprehensible. Once they left its body, they could never catch up.

And a pet beast’s aura was one-way. Leaving its aura had no effect, but re-entering it was practically impossible.

Even if it waited here for a hundred years, for Flood to complete its orbit and return, it would still be difficult to re-enter its aura.

It wasn’t Calamity Sun.

“I’m…I’m doomed…”

“That damn golden-haired girl…she ruined my evolution path!!!”

“Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable—”

“But you’ll also die! How dare you let a Shining Species roam freely on Flood’s body! You’re courting death. You’ve angered Flood!!!” The Weaving Flame Red Silk screamed as it flew away.

And meanwhile, within Flood’s aura…

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”

Two figures, one black, one white, were rampaging across the battlefield.

Snow Flower and Cloud and Dream’s Promise were slaughtering the remaining lice, leaving a trail of shattered ice and charred corpses. Cloud and Dream’s Promise, with North Wind and Coiling Clouds activated, moved like a whirlwind, effortlessly shrugging off the lice Emperors’ attacks, its viral shield constantly regenerating, venting the accumulated damage every few seconds.

And Snow Flower…any Emperor that touched its aura was instantly frozen, then crushed by its giant icy tail.

Half a minute later, the lice Emperors, filled with despair, began to retreat. The Weaving Flame Red Silk hadn’t returned. They were lost…

Meanwhile, Lian Xing, not letting Snow Flower and the Mist Colt go too far, sensing a change in the air, immediately retreated with her pet beasts to the hole created by Devilish Smile.

“Farewell, insects…” Lian Xing said, her voice cold, her usual smile gone.

Then, she recalled all her pet beasts, and the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, jumping backwards, its arms outstretched, fell, disappearing from the lice’s sight.

In the next second, the moment Lian Xing left, Flood’s aura solidified.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Instantly, trillions of lice on Flood’s body exploded into blood mist…

They had simply been glanced at by Flood, their bodies crushed by its compressed Pet Essence.

And this dense Pet Essence began to spread outwards, slightly expanding Flood’s aura.

And this minor expansion was enough to crush Lian Xing’s Pet Beast World…

This was why Lian Xing’s expression had been so grim.

Because she wasn’t sure she could block Flood’s expanding aura. It might cause massive casualties…

But even so, she had to repel the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor and annihilate all the lice. Otherwise, if the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor activated its Second Stage Awakening in their world, then not only would the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon struggle to defeat it, but all other living beings would be doomed…

By then, it would be her who had to hold back…

So, Lian Xing was willing to face Flood’s aura again!!!

“…”

“…”

“Bunny!!!!!”

At this moment, as Lian Xing’s voice echoed, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, carrying the golden-haired girl as it plummeted through the blood-red sky, once again assumed a throwing stance, its ears raised, its body radiating a brilliant light. Like a giant, shining sun, its light brought tears to the eyes of all who saw it, blinding them.

“Boom!!!”

At the same time—

On Flood’s blood-red body, in this forbidden zone where no living being should be able to exist…

A pure white, dreamlike figure stood, its feet seemingly gliding across Flood’s aura, as if it were skiing, not causing a single ripple. Two soft, velvet-like ears, like melting ice cream, adorned its snow-white head, and a giant, white, ball-like tail was attached to its back.

And then—

It raised its foot, aiming at Flood below.

At this moment, a terrifying, suffocating, Ancient Emperor-Tier aura, like a nightmare, descended upon the new world.

Chapter 177: Calamity Sun Deployed!!!

Moonlight Rabbit, Lian Xing’s first pet beast, born when she became a Beast Tamer in this world. Together, they had defeated countless enemies. From Giant Moonlight Rabbit, to Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, to Heaven-Gracing Curtain, to Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, they had conquered the Baiyue Province league, the Bimen Pass trials, the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition, the All-Pet Beast Tournament, and the Dark Abyss Sea, even defeating a Sovereign-Tier Emperor. Undefeated, except against Flood.

Moonlight Rabbit had come so far, encountering Calamity Sun three times, yet their paths had always diverged. It had even lost its companion, Golden Leaf. But finally, in its Royal-Tier form, it held Calamity Sun’s heavy body.

Beneath the ruins of the Beast Tamer Alliance…

“Boom!!!!” A black lightning bolt struck, and the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was enveloped in a scorching, black aura, its fur standing on end like a porcupine’s quills, its flesh and bones convulsing. The black lightning raged for five minutes before subsiding. It stood motionless, one ear holding the black iron ball, its head bowed.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing received the four Black Quality combat skills from Yellow Dragon, the Great Lord of the Seven Heavens. These were the combat skills from Calamity Sun’s previous life. The reason the Seven Heavens hadn’t immediately hunted down Calamity Sun this time wasn’t just because of the Black Moon Emperor, but also because they possessed its combat skills, preventing it from reaching its full potential. A powerful weapon without a wielder, stripped of its peak combat skills, was like a toothless wolf…

“Great Lord Yellow Dragon, according to the Seven Heavens’ analysis, how long until that Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor arrives?”

“Soon, probably less than 15 days before its main body reaches our Pet Beast World.”

“Unlike the other three Disasters’ lice, Flood’s lice are considered the most docile due to their leader’s peculiar personality.”

“It never leads the charge, only appearing after the other lice have consumed most of a region’s resources, then deciding whether the remaining scraps are worth its time…”

“It essentially guards Flood’s rear.”

“And this time, it must have sensed the auras of the Shining Species, the Ancient Species, and the numerous 72 Legends.”

“So, before Flood leaves, it will definitely appear!!!”

As Yellow Dragon explained, Lian Xing pondered.

A Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor…it was a watershed moment in the late game. Like in her previous life’s Pet Beast Evolution Battle, there had been hundreds of professional teams, each with at least one Emperor-Tier pet beast as their main force.

But only five teams had possessed a Ten Thousand Level pet beast.

If this Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor louse arrived, their Pet Beast World would have no way of defending itself, facing certain doom.

“15 days? I understand.”

“Since you’ve brought me Calamity Sun, I’ll take care of it.”

“Good…” Seeing Lian Xing’s determination, Yellow Dragon sighed in relief, then turned and flew away.

With the Pet Beast World’s current strength, they had no chance against a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Unless the new world’s gatekeeper was still alive, but it had likely been destroyed…the moment the Fallen Species’s aura touched their world.

So, they could only place their hopes on Lian Xing.

As long as the Shining Species was still here, there was still a chance…!!!

Soon, Yellow Dragon’s massive figure disappeared from sight, leaving Lian Xing and her pet beasts alone amidst the ruins. A black current flickered in Lian Xing’s starry eyes as she looked up at the crimson sky.

“15 days…?”

“If you don’t come, then I’ll come to you…”

“Flood, you killed Moonlight Rabbit once. I won’t let you leave so easily—” As Lian Xing’s grim words echoed, an Emperor-Tier aura descended from the clouds. Without even looking, Lian Xing had Cloud and Dream’s Promise pull it into its Viral Space.

A few seconds later, Snow Flower, carrying the Golden Leaf, emerged from the void, wiping the blood off the Golden Leaf’s petals. And the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, seemingly unaffected by the death of the Emperor-Tier pet beast, simply lowered its head, its ear gently squeezing the black iron ball, testing its weight and density.

For over a hundred hours, it remained motionless, its eyes closed, as if asleep.

It was immersed in Calamity Sun’s millennia of memories, the subtle shifts in force and momentum during countless throws by powerful Beast Tamers.

Finally, 13 days after obtaining Calamity Sun…

During this time, Snow Flower and the Mist Colt had been on a rampage. Using the Celestial Anchor’s detection ability, Snow Flower’s counter-attack characteristic, and the Mist Colt’s defense and Viral Space, they had effortlessly defeated Emperor after Emperor, until there wasn’t a single one left who dared to show itself.

They, the hunters, the destroyers of worlds, were now hiding in the sewers, desperately clinging to life.

No one could withstand Snow Flower’s first counter-attack.

Once triggered, they would face the awakened Golden Leaf, its power capable of instantly crushing an Emperor.

Ordinary Emperors before them were like vegetables being chopped…

Meanwhile, Lian Xing’s new title, Star Concubine, was spreading rapidly, her fame and influence even surpassing the ancient Seven Heavens.

“Click—”

Finally, on the 13th day…

The Moonlight Rabbit’s eyelashes twitched, and its dull, moon-like eyes regained their focus. Lian Xing, her golden hair styled in buns, her starry eyes twinkling, had been waiting before it.

“Ready?”

“Although Star Pole hasn’t recovered yet, you should be prepared now, right?”

“Whoosh—” As Lian Xing’s gentle voice echoed, the white Moonlight Rabbit bowed slightly, then, gently lifting the golden-haired girl with one of its soft, fluffy ears, placed her on its shoulder.

The Eight-Star Bewitching Moon began to walk through the air above the ruins of the Beast Tamer Alliance, its steps slow and deliberate, until it reached the cloud layer, ten thousand meters high. Behind it, Snow Flower, Golden Leaf, Mist Colt, Star Sand, and the Celestial Anchor, residing within Lian Xing, followed silently.

The same lineup that hadn’t been able to withstand even a moment of Flood’s aura…

At this moment, the difference in their strength was immeasurable…

But it didn’t mean they would surrender…!!!

“Crackle—”

“Rip—”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, a powerful aura, like a tsunami, erupted from the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. Black lightning crackled, golden flames shot into the sky.

At this moment, all eyes in the Pet Beast World turned towards them.

Baiyue Province, Bimen Pass, the Beast Tamer Alliance, the Dominating Cauldron Palace, the City of Awe, the Seven Heavens, Youyou Leize, Worry-Free Pond…all the remaining powers, their Beast Tamers’ expressions were filled with shock and awe.

Instantly, night descended.

Bathed in moonlight, a radiant, golden Moonlight Rabbit appeared, its brilliant aura tainted by a dark, shadowy aura, like a translucent, black eggshell, a sinister smile forming on its surface.

Moonlight Rabbit, Shining evolution!!!

Royal-Tier Shining Species, Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon!!!

And…

Royal-Tier Calamity Sun, Devilish Smile!!!

“…”

“…”

“Lian Xing…” Silver Dragon, Jade Lady, Tears Maiden, and even Thunder Fly, all those who were close to Lian Xing, they all sensed this familiar, yet different aura, their expressions filled with awe.

The Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor hadn’t arrived yet…what was she doing?

Could it be that she was…?

“—Eclipse—”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, under the incredulous gazes of the entire Pet Beast World…

The crescent moon in the sky was bitten in half…

And the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s belly bulged…

As it consumed the true moon’s Pet Essence, it raised its ears, the black, iron ball with demonic horns appearing at its ear tips. At this moment, from the moment of its evolution, every throw, every air swing, every kill…those subtle shifts in force and momentum, the increasingly precise muscle memory, it all flowed into the Moonlight Rabbit’s mind. Flashes of incomplete images appeared, memories of the Cycle of Calamity Emperor that had once thrown Calamity Sun, and the Black Moon Emperor’s throwing techniques.

A giant, spiraling vortex, like a drill, formed around its ear.

Under Lian Xing’s proud gaze, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon opened its ears, holding the demonic, black iron ball before it.

With this move, it would tear apart Flood’s aura!!!

Bloodline Combat Skill · Moon-Pounding!!!

---

At the same time, in the new world, on the surface of Flood’s blood-red body…

Countless lice stood, waiting for the moment when Flood’s aura would briefly disconnect as it passed by a bubble world, allowing them to descend.

92 Emperors.

6 Sovereign-Tier Emperors.

1 Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor.

This terrifying lineup would instantly annihilate everything in that fragile world.

For an ordinary bubble world, even producing a single Sovereign-Tier Emperor or a 72 Legends was a miracle. Although it was strange that this world hadn’t been conquered yet, once their main force arrived, it would be over…

However, unlike the other optimistic Emperors, the only Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, a red-haired woman with a golden crown, stood at the back of the group, her gaze fixed on the distant entrance to that Pet Beast World, her expression uncertain.

“Snow Flower?”

“Calamity Sun?”

“Star Sand?”

“A Shining Species?”

“…”

“…”

“Something’s not right… The Legends’ auras suddenly intensified. How could so many Legends be fighting at the same time? What’s going on…?” Just as the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor wondered, something strange happened.

On Flood’s body, the surrounding Pet Essence and space began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake were occurring.

“Buzzzzzzzzzz—”

“Buzzzzzzzzzz—”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, under the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor’s horrified gaze, a giant, black beam of energy, spiraling like a vortex, pierced through Flood’s aura, originating from the opposite Pet Beast World, instantly sending the lice on Flood’s body flying, everything in its path obliterated, reaching the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, its eyes widening in shock.

How…how could Flood’s aura be…broken…?

How was this possible!!!

“Thump!!!”

In that brief moment of shock, the red-haired woman, like a punching bag, was sent flying by the black wave, crashing into the red ground hundreds of kilometers away.

A few seconds later, as the black beam dissipated…

Silence fell.

The remaining lice, their eyes wide with disbelief, looked at the hole that had appeared in Flood’s aura.

And then, under their shocked gazes, a golden Moonlight Rabbit, its body radiating a brilliant, almost blinding aura, stepped through the hole, a golden-haired girl with starry eyes on its shoulder. And following closely behind were the snow woman in the white shroud, Star Sand, Mist Colt, and…

Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes smiled, her gaze sweeping across the millions of lice.

“Hello, and—”

“Farewell…”

T/N:

Yun Jianyou meanings: Cloud Walker, Sky Sovereign

Chapter 176: The Name of Star Goddess, Subduing Calamity Sun!!

“Boom!!!”

“Boom!!!!!”

As the golden light of Billion Waxing and Waning Moons raged, a third of the Pet Beast World collapsed, the remaining areas also affected, mountains and rivers overturned, even Emperor-Tier lice were swept away by the shockwave. All fighting ceased, every being staring in horrified disbelief.

A moment later, as the Shining aura faded, a Sovereign-Tier Emperor’s presence vanished.

Silence fell over the Pet Beast World.

“Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light…even you lost…?”

“A Shining Species…just what is…” Another lice Sovereign, facing the Seven Heavens, muttered in disbelief, retreating before vanishing from their detection range. The two Sovereigns near Youyou Leize and the City of Awe also went into hiding. Normally, a battle between Sovereign-Tier Emperors would last for days, until their Pet Essence was depleted. But against a full-powered Shining Species, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light hadn’t even lasted three minutes.

This meant that an unimaginably powerful force had been born in this lower Pet Beast World.

Even Sovereign-Tier Emperors, facing certain death, chose to retreat…

Meanwhile, amidst the ruins of the battlefield…

The golden flames around the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon subsided, the giant starry eyes behind it closing. Returning to its normal form, it flexed its ears, testing its newfound power.

[Royal-Tier — Biological Species — Eight-Star Bewitching Moon LV1941]

After defeating a Sovereign-Tier Emperor, its level had almost doubled, reaching mid-Monarch-Tier, its Pet Essence capacity greatly increased, Shining Awakening’s cooldown reduced to 15 days.

At the same time, Lian Xing, after collecting the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s life crystal, checked Star Pole Awakening’s cooldown. There was no specific timer, just a progress bar slowly filling. Lian Xing estimated about six months.

“I wonder if absorbing more of the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura would accelerate the recovery…”

“Let’s wait for news about Calamity Sun~~~” Although the area around Lian Xing had been cleared by the Beast Tamer Alliance, many Emperors were still watching, especially those from the nearby Dominating Cauldron Palace. After Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s declaration, the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s guardian Emperor had immediately notified the Seven Heavens’ higher-ups. Then, as the battle subsided, and the lice, suppressed by Lian Xing, went into hiding, the Seven Heavens began searching for Calamity Sun.

After all, Moon Rabbit was now their only hope.

There were seven or eight more Sovereign-Tier Emperors and a terrifying, ten-thousand-level Great Emperor among the remaining lice. The current Pet Beast World’s forces were no match for them.

Soon, even Yellow Dragon, the second Sovereign-Tier pet beast stationed at the headquarters, a legendary figure, joined the search. With its immense size, it could see for thousands of kilometers.

Finally, within seven hours, Calamity Sun’s location was found.

It was scavenging in the ruins of the 2nd-level region, Wind Sand Region, and was immediately captured by the Seven Heavens.

Calamity Sun, originally the exclusive throwing weapon of the Fallen Species Emperor, Drought, one of the Four Disasters, a terrifying being feared throughout the new world, had risen to 12th place among the 72 Legends after just one reincarnation.

A hundred thousand years ago, during the battle between the Fallen Species Drought and the Sanctuary Guardian, Reverse Time, Calamity Sun, thrown but not retrieved, had landed in a lower Pet Beast World, disappearing. After rampaging through that world, killing half of its Sovereign-Tier Emperors, it had finally been destroyed, along with the Seven Heavens’ original seven Great Emperors, by an envoy from the new world, causing a collapse in the Pet Beast World’s power structure.

Tens of thousands of years later, Calamity Sun was reborn. The new generation of Seven Heavens lords had wanted to retrieve it, but the Cycle of Calamity’s leader had taken it first.

However, having lost its combat skills from its previous reincarnation, the current Calamity Sun was like a toothless tiger, far less dangerous.

Within ten hours, Calamity Sun, escorted by the Yellow Dragon Emperor, arrived at the Beast Tamer Alliance. As a giant, yellow dragon, its size beyond their field of vision, descended from the sky, covering hundreds of regions, then, its body disappearing, transforming into a voluptuous, yellow-haired heavyset woman, it landed gently.

At this moment, Calamity Sun, held firmly in the woman’s hand, didn’t dare to move.

Why was Yellow Dragon of the Seven Heavens described as heavyset…? Because those two watermelon-sized masses on her chest… Emperor-Tier pet beasts with large breasts were common, but… pumpkin-sized ones were rare.

Of course, besides her ample bosom, the rest of her figure was slender and curvaceous…

As Yellow Dragon and Calamity Sun arrived, the golden-haired girl with buns and white stockings was watering the strange meteorite soil. Seeing the golden elemental figure, Star Sand, staring at it curiously, Yellow Dragon’s expression softened, as if it saw someone familiar…

“Boss…” it muttered unconsciously.

Star Sand tilted its head, confused.

But Yellow Dragon quickly recovered, a sad look in its eyes. This Star Sand was a reincarnated being, having gone through three or four cycles already. It probably didn’t remember its time in the Seven Heavens.

But how ironic… Star Sand, which had once fought to the death against Calamity Sun, was now in the hands of the same Beast Tamer.

And the resemblance…

Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s starry eyes…

They were so similar to someone it had glimpsed in the new world in one of its previous lives…

Perhaps only someone with that bloodline could evolve a Shining Species at Royal-Tier…

At this moment, lost in its thoughts, Yellow Dragon, carrying Calamity Sun, walked past Star Sand, Snow Flower and Golden Leaf, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, and the Mist Colt, stopping before the golden-haired girl with buns.

“…”

“…”

“Star Concubine, Yellow Dragon of the Seven Heavens, presenting Calamity Sun…” it said respectfully, offering the motionless, black iron ball.

Seeing Calamity Sun’s behavior, you would think it was imitating a Mechanical Species’s shutdown mode…

However, hearing this, Lian Xing tilted her head, confused.

“Star Concubine…?”

“What’s with that title?”

“…”

“…”

“Star Concubine, after this disaster, this Pet Beast World will likely enter a new era. Like after the destruction caused by Calamity Sun ten thousand years ago, the events and figures from the past will only exist in legends…”

“And by then, we, the Seven Heavens, might no longer exist. So, someone has to record our deeds, including yours, of course.”

“Forgive my rudeness, there are thousands of Beast Tamers in this world nicknamed Moon Rabbit. It’s not unique. After some discussion, the Seven Heavens have decided to record your story under the title of Star Concubine…”

So that’s what it was…

Lian Xing nodded thoughtfully as Yellow Dragon explained.

She had seen many Beast Tamers change their titles in the later stages of the game, to avoid confusion due to duplicate names.

Unless they were like Yun Jianyou, whose name was so unique that even after reaching Emperor-Tier, he was still known as Yun Jianyou.

Although many Beast Tamers proclaimed themselves Emperors or Empresses, only those recognized by the Seven Heavens had any real meaning. Otherwise, it was just self-deception.

“Star Concubine…it’s a decent title, but it’s a bit too similar to Star Goddess…”

“But it doesn’t matter, it’s only being used in this Pet Beast World…” Lian Xing muttered, taking Calamity Sun.

After all, she had only learned what a Star Goddess was after asking Jade Lady.

Millions of years ago, the most beautiful and powerful Beast Tamer in the new world, she had been involved with dozens of Legends, even one of the current Shining Duo had been her pet beast. During the Star Goddess’s reign, all four Fallen Emperors had altered their trajectories. Her existence had been as brilliant as a meteor, but it had also been short-lived, disappearing after less than a century.

In the new world, everyone knew the legend of the Star Goddess.

Especially Lover, one of the 72 Legends, a devoted fan of the Star Goddess, spreading its name throughout the world, its enthusiasm unwavering for tens of thousands of years.

After a moment of thought, Lian Xing looked down at Calamity Sun in her hand.

At the same time, all the pet beasts present also stared at Calamity Sun.

Under their gazes, Calamity Sun, unable to pretend any longer, a drop of cold sweat trickled down its surface.

[Don’t even think about it. I’ll never join you!!]

[In my eyes, you’re just a naive child. Are you prepared to destroy everything for me? Do you have the resolve to enter the new world? Do you have the courage to fight against a Fallen Emperor for me?]

[No, with your indecisive personality, you can’t even abandon the insects in this world…]

[You’ll ruin my Fallen path!!!]

As Calamity Sun’s angry words echoed, under Yellow Dragon’s strange gaze, Lian Xing didn’t argue, simply carrying Calamity Sun out of the ruins. A few seconds later, as their vision expanded, a devastated landscape appeared before Calamity Sun’s disbelieving eyes. A seemingly endless scene of destruction, shattered Pet Essence everywhere, not a single intact area within a radius of millions of kilometers.

Seeing this, Calamity Sun fell silent.

Meanwhile, Lian Xing said calmly, “Indecisive…?”

“Are you talking about me?”

“The one who destroyed a third of this world, leaving billions of pet beasts homeless…?”

“The one who, to defeat a Sovereign-Tier Emperor, to test my pet beasts’ limits, caused such devastation…?”

“My emotions are only swayed by my own path of evolution. Lovers, friends, companions, even my own mother, my own body they’re all just tools to me…”

“In this world, nothing can stop my evolution. I will reach the end, and everything else will just be a distant memory… Important, but… not essential…”

“This is my nature…”

“…”

“…”

As Lian Xing’s calm words echoed, Calamity Sun remained silent for a long time.

A few hours later, just as Yellow Dragon was about to return to the Seven Heavens, Calamity Sun finally spoke.

[Yellow Dragon, give me back my combat skills.]

[That’s my only request…]

Thus, after a long journey, Calamity Sun had finally returned to Lian Xing’s hands.

The first time they met, it had been forcefully given to the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer by a berserk Ancient Species.

The second time, it had fought alongside the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, defeating the Ancient Juvenile Species, Extinction.

The third time, it had retreated early in the chaotic battle between Snow Flower and Lian Xing.

And the fourth time…

It wasn’t the High-Tier Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, nor the Commander-Tier Heaven-Gracing Curtain, nor the Royal-Tier Eight-Star Bewitching Moon.

—312 hours remained until the Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, would wield Calamity Sun again.

Chapter 175: Star Sand Evolves, The Ultimate Arcane Art!!! 

A Royal-Tier pet beast’s first Awakening was standard, all pet beasts of the same species having the same awakened form. But the second stage of Awakening was divided into two types. One was for Sovereign-Tier Emperors above level 8000. They developed unique awakened forms, becoming truly one-of-a-kind. The other was called Double Awakening, achieved through external forces like combat skills, bloodline combat skills, or the pet beast’s unique characteristics, temporarily granting a power boost comparable to an Emperor’s Awakening.

However, this method had its drawbacks. Not only the immense Pet Essence consumption during Double Awakening, but also the instability of having two different forms. Unlike an Emperor’s gradual Awakening, Double Awakening was often unpredictable, sometimes even crippling the pet beast’s combat power.

But…

The Moonlight Rabbit wasn’t an ordinary Moonlight Rabbit…

Its first Awakening was its Shining form, and its second Awakening was granted by the Eleventh Zodiac’s unique talent. Since the Eleventh Zodiac had transcended the level of a Legend, becoming a Shining Legend, its abilities must be highly compatible with those of a Shining Species.

So, Lian Xing had never doubted their victory!!!

“Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, Second Stage Star Pole Awakening!!!”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

Instantly, a golden shockwave erupted from the Moonlight Rabbit, pulverizing the sky and the earth. At the center of the explosion, a brilliant starlight, like a star chart, expanded, forming a dreamlike star-shaped figure behind the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. This giant star resembled an eye, its golden outline surrounding a vast, starry sky.

Although it was much smaller than the green waterfall, its radiant aura overshadowed everything.

Meanwhile, bathed in starlight, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s body began to shimmer with a tangible starlight, like a cheap visual effect from a free-to-play game.

Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light chuckled. “Shining Awakening is already the perfect awakened form. Forcing a second stage will only corrupt its purity.”

“As a lowly insect from a lower world, I admit your Shining Species is strong, even in the new world, I haven’t seen a Royal-Tier pet beast this powerful. But that’s it.”

“Your Double Awakening is just a joke…”

However, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon didn’t respond, its eyes closed, as if savoring its newfound power. A moment later, a shimmering, comet-like ribbon, like a celestial garment, appeared behind it, making its thousands of golden ears seem less disturbing…

And Lian Xing’s serious voice echoed, “A joke…?”

“Do you think our Second Stage Awakening is a joke?”

“Haven’t you noticed the difference in our strength?”

“From now on, you won’t even be able to touch a single hair on its body…”

“…”

“…”

“Ridiculous!!!” The Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, angered by the golden-haired girl’s arrogant words, extended its hand.

Instantly, the green waterfall covering the sky began to descend, like a collapsing galaxy. The surrounding regions crumbled, everything turning to dust under the immense pressure, the Pet Essence in the air thinning.

In this moment of despair, even breathing became difficult for ordinary pet beasts.

However…

At that critical moment—

The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon opened its eyes!!!

And behind it, the giant, star-shaped eyes also opened, a mysterious, colorless starlight emanating from them, like the gaze of a higher being, sending a chill down the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s spine, its heart pounding. But it didn’t stop, the green waterfall continuing its descent.

“Boom!!!!!”

In the next second, just as it was about to be hit, the golden Moonlight Rabbit moved. No, it wasn’t moving on its own, it was being propelled by its own throw! Countless golden crescent moons shot backwards, like a spray of bullets, their recoil pushing the golden Moonlight Rabbit forward. As the crescent moons’ firing frequency increased, its speed also increased, finally turning into a golden blur that collided with the green waterfall. Then, at the moment of impact, it tilted its body, pressing the golden sphere it had formed in its arms against the waterfall.

“Screech——” A deafening, ear-piercing screech echoed as the golden sphere, formed from crescent moons, and the green waterfall ground against each other, sparks flying. And the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, like someone sliding down a waterfall in reverse, its body shimmering with starlight, shot upwards.

In less than three seconds, it reached the top of the waterfall, then, under the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s dumbfounded gaze, descended, landing right before it.

“Bang!!!”

Wrist Bone Duel, activated.

As green lightning surged through its body…

The fleshy tumor formed from its countless golden ears slammed downwards, sending the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s fragile elemental body flying, shattering thousands of layers of its Pet Essence barrier before crashing into the other side of the waterfall.

Meanwhile, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was also blocked by a new, cascading waterfall.

But after just a second, it clasped its two fleshy tumors together, forming two golden crescent moons.

The curved edges met, forming a shining ring.

“Waxing and Waning · Closed Moon!!!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”

Giant, spinning crescent moons erupted from its ears, a golden shockwave instantly piercing through the entire waterfall. The waterfall, made of Pet Essence, shattered, a large section vanishing…

In the next second, the green elemental figure, which had been hiding behind the waterfall, was pulled out by the Moonlight ring. Caught in the rapidly spinning ring, its expression contorted, its elemental form blurring.

“Does a Shining Species’s attack have no windup…?”

“Then how can I even charge my attack…!!!”

“…”

“…”

At the same time, as the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light was being dragged backward by the Moonlight ring…

Seeing the gap in the waterfall, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon didn’t pursue its attack. Instead, it turned around, its back to the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, its golden, fleshy tumors spreading outwards like a peacock’s tail, or the opening animation of a thousand-armed goddess, countless golden ears neatly arranged around its body, forming a fleshy cushion…

Instantly, the Pet Essence in the entire battlefield froze…

As if some unobservable being had descended, draining all the Pet Essence within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Even the air and time seemed to stop…

“…”

“…”

“Whoosh—”

In the next second, under the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s stunned gaze, two giant, golden rabbit ears, like those of a god, emerged from the starry eye-shaped doorway behind the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. These giant ears, identical to its own, were so large that they were beyond human comprehension. Compared to them, even the previously impressive starry doorway looked like a tiny mouse hole.

As the two giant ears extended, they reached the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s body and, from below, gently supported its thousand ears.

At this moment, an aura of death filled the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s crystal.

And its thoughts, slowed to a crawl, like an unskippable opening animation in a game…

“…”

“…”

If the Shining Species Moonlight Rabbit’s abilities were unlimited Pet Essence, enhanced throwing power, and flawless battle instincts…

Then the Eleventh Zodiac’s Star Pole Awakening was like a new dimension of imagination.

Not just a perfect score, not just perfection…

It was insane!!!

It was unbelievable!!!

Imagine, an ability that had already reached its limit. Then surpassing that limit, reaching the end of its potential…

At this moment, supported by the two giant ears, golden spheres, like bubbles from a powerful bubble machine, began to emerge from the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s body, floating into the sky. These weren’t just Waxing and Waning moons created from lunar Pet Essence. It was using a tiny amount of lunar Pet Essence, diluting and transforming it within its body, creating countless new crescent moons, without consuming the moon’s essence.

Finally, countless golden spheres, like stars, filled the sky above the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, and the golden Pet Essence veins on its body bulged. Although a Shining Species’s Pet Essence was unlimited, it didn’t mean their bodies could contain an infinite amount. It was like a paper cup filled with water. You could refill it infinitely, but you couldn’t drink an infinite amount at once.

That was something only a Fallen Species could do…

However, the Eleventh Zodiac’s Star Pole Awakening allowed it to maintain this impossible state for a few seconds.

At this moment, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s Pet Essence veins seemed on the verge of bursting, but the countless stars above it, like a real starry sky, it was like a grand opening for a god’s arrival.

Meanwhile, staring at this scene, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s expression shifted from shock to anger, to despair, to resignation, then finally to calmness…

“You shouldn’t have used this against me. What a waste…”

“The Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor will be arriving soon. Good luck~~~”

“…”

“…”

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”

In the next second, as the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s words echoed…

The stars above, the countless crescent moons, rained down like a meteor shower.

Centered around the Beast Tamer Alliance’s territory, the explosive, Shining energy blasts spread outwards.

Billions of golden lights unleashed a catastrophic disaster upon the Pet Beast World.

The entire world was engulfed in a blinding, golden light.

Even Worry-Free Pond and Youyou Leize, on the other side of the Pet Beast World, their regions trembled from the impact.

At this moment, all the pet beasts, both lice and natives, stared at the bombarded area, their eyes wide.

And then, after five long minutes, the last golden sphere finally disappeared.

This was…

The ultimate Moonlight Rabbit, in its Second Stage Shining Awakening!!!

[Shining Star Pole · Billion Waxing and Waning Moons]

“…”

“…”

The scorching heat from the vaporized Pet Essence lingered in the air.

A third of the Pet Beast World’s map had collapsed…

Those who hadn’t seen it with their own eyes could never imagine the scale of this disaster.

Even a god-like Sovereign-Tier Emperor had been instantly killed…

No one dared to approach this area.

A few seconds later, a golden-haired girl, her clothes shredded, her body exposed, walked into the center of the devastated area. She bent down and picked up an emerald green life crystal, then muttered, her expression thoughtful, “A Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor…?”

“…”

“…”

“Where’s Calamity Sun?”

“Send a message to the Seven Heavens. Within 24 hours, I want to see Calamity Sun before me…”

Chapter 174: Moonlight Rabbit, Second Stage Star Pole Awakening!

How far did a Shining Species’s aura reach during Awakening? Simply put, it could turn the world upside down. Its aura alone could illuminate everything within a hundred million kilometers, an explosion of brilliant light. And in the darkness of night, this shining flame was even more eye-catching…

At this moment, under the horrified gazes of countless lice, the golden light, after piercing the sky, spread to every corner of the Pet Beast World.

“How…how is this possible…”

“A Shining Species…?”

“How can there be a Shining Species in this lower world!?”

“We’re doomed!!!”

“Don’t panic, that’s definitely not an Emperor-Tier Shining Species. Otherwise, even Flood wouldn’t be able to come here. It must be a newborn, its threat level not that high, probably…” Facing a Shining Species for the first time, it was impossible to remain calm, even for Sovereign-Tier Emperors, the thought of retreat crossing their minds.

After all, Shining Species were rarely seen in their world, let alone by lowly lice…

Seeing a living Shining Species meant, death was near…

Storm, the fastest of the new world’s Four Disasters, circled the world every 80 years. And around the 73rd year of its journey, it would pass by the territory of one of the Shining Duo, and even the slightest brush of their auras would kill half of Storm’s lice.

Therefore, although Storm’s lice were the most ferocious, they also had the highest mortality rate.

“…”
“…”
“I sense a lot of annoying insects…” the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light muttered, its eyes fixed on the golden Moonlight Rabbit, its body wreathed in flames, as it approached.

The Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, completely ignoring the Sovereign-Tier Elemental Species’s aura, walked right up to it, its gaze meeting the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s, the sharp blades around it seemingly harmless. Then, the golden and green auras clashed, sparks flying, like two colliding planets, the shockwave pulverizing nearby mountain peaks.

A drop of sweat trickled down the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s elemental head.

A true Shining Species…

How could it possibly fight against this…?

It had never faced one of the three special evolution types before.

Although its aura density was far greater, and it hadn’t even activated Awakening yet, it felt a sense of dread, its life crystal trembling.

As if it were destined to die here…

Snapping out of its hesitation, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s face twisted in rage, countless green blades erupting from its body.

“I won’t die here!!!”

“Not even a Shining Species can defeat me!!!”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

[Waxing and Waning]

In the next instant, before the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light could even attack, a giant, golden crescent moon appeared out of nowhere, slicing through its elemental body. The distorted space froze for a moment, and the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light was sent flying, its vision spinning, its elemental form shattering.

“Whoosh—”

In the next second, countless golden ears sprouted from the Moonlight Rabbit’s sides, like a peacock spreading its feathers, or a thousand-armed goddess, a disturbing yet beautiful sight.

Shining form, Six Ears Fully Unleashed.

At this moment, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, instead of pursuing the disoriented Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, looked towards the distant horizon, its burning, golden, moon-like eyes as if taking in the entire devastated Pet Beast World.

“Too many annoying insects. Let’s reduce their numbers~~~”

With that, its countless ears converged, forming a giant, flower-like tumor. A blinding light, like a flickering streetlamp, emanated from within the flower. Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s eyes widened in horror, but it was too late.

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the next second, with a deafening roar, a golden beam of light erupted from the flower, piercing through the sky, its width several kilometers, obliterating everything in its path, even the ground beneath the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. The sky trembled, the earth cracked. Countless pet beasts closed their eyes, tears streaming down their faces, their eyes burning.

At this moment, the entire sky was engulfed in this terrifying golden light, no one able to look directly at it, as if they were witnessing the twilight before the sun’s descent…

And then, under this golden light, one after another, the lice began to burn, their agonizing screams echoing before they turned to ash, not even knowing what had hit them.

Only shimmering crystals remained.

Finally, the beam of light, like a meteor, fell, disappearing beyond the horizon.

A few seconds later, as the beings in the Pet Beast World opened their burning eyes, their expressions were filled with shock.

[Twilight (Fluorescent): Changes the attack to a pulsed beam. Impact power doubles upon hitting a target, and small beams, each with 10% of the original power, are constantly emitted in all directions. Power is not reduced when missing.]

The Black Moon Emperor had used this combat skill to throw Calamity Sun repeatedly.

However, even with Calamity Sun’s enhancement, its power had been less than a tenth of the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s!!!

Just how many lice had been killed by this single attack…?

Three Emperor-Tier auras had vanished.

And the number of Commander-Tier and Royal-Tier casualties was too many to count.

This attack, originating from the Beast Tamer Alliance’s territory, had reached the other side of the Pet Beast World, stunning everyone who witnessed it.

“…”

“…”

“Much quieter now…” the golden Moonlight Rabbit said, casually flicking its ears, standing amidst the ruins of the Beast Tamer Alliance.

Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, high in the sky, let out a frustrated shriek. It had recovered the moment the attack was launched, but mesmerized by its brilliance, it hadn’t been able to react in time, watching helplessly as countless lice were killed.

Of course, it didn’t care about those companions. What truly frustrated it was that this arrogant. Shining Species hadn’t even acknowledged it, instead choosing to kill those weaklings first.

It was a Sovereign-Tier Emperor…

It was supposed to be the strongest…!!!

It was like winning a race, then having the second and third place winners congratulate each other, asking, “Who are you?”

Enraged, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light unleashed its aura, countless green blades erupting from its body.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

A storm of green blades swept across the sky, obliterating mountains and vaporizing oceans and rivers. At the center of this storm, the golden Moonlight Rabbit took a deep breath, its body inflating like a balloon, turning into a golden sphere…

Shining · White Whiskers!!

The countless green blades that struck it didn’t create the clang of metal, but instead seemed to sink into it, their power greatly reduced. Then, it exhaled sharply, a burst of air, like a projectile…, hitting the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s aura.

Without warning, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s attack was interrupted.

Shining · Lowered Brow…

As the Emperor was still stunned, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon vanished.

Realizing this, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, scanning the empty Beast Tamer Alliance territory, its breath hitched.

What…where had it gone…? A Shining Species, with its brilliant aura, how could it possibly hide!?

The Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light cautiously scanned the surroundings, then looked behind it.

And the moment it turned around, a pure white Moonlight Rabbit emerged from the clouds. The de-evolved Eight-Star Bewitching Moon took a few steps forward, its body once again engulfed in golden flames, then, lifting a few of its ears, aimed them at the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s life crystal.

“…”
“…”
“Buzzzzzzzz!!!!!”

As a deafening roar echoed from behind it, the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light tried to react, but it was too late. It could only close its eyes and brace for the impact.

However, the expected attack didn’t come.

A few seconds later, it opened its eyes cautiously and looked back. The golden Moonlight Rabbit, its body radiating golden flames, hadn’t attacked. Instead, it had retreated, observing it with a playful expression.

The Pet Essence in the air began to churn.

The Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s body trembled, its elemental face contorted in anger, its aura fluctuating wildly.

“Can you be serious…!!!”

“This is a life-or-death battle!!!”

“You’re a Shining Species! Fight like one!!!”

“…”

“…”

“Triggered?” The Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s furious roar was met with these two words.

So, it gave up on reason…

In the next second, the Pet Essence in the sky began to twist and swirl, like converging rivers, flowing into the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s aura.

“—Awakening—”

“Second Stage · Emperor Awakening”

“Boom!!!!!”

The sky shattered, the darkness receded.

Under the horrified gazes of countless smaller pet beasts, the entire Beast Tamer Alliance territory was covered by a green waterfall, reaching the stars. The waterfall, formed from pure elemental energy, its density seemingly capable of crushing the world. At this moment, as the waterfall descended from the starry sky, bathing the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light in its green light, the Pet Essence concentration in the area reached its limit, the air itself distorting.

And under this terrifying display of power, the golden Moonlight Rabbit, small and insignificant, was sent tumbling through the air, landing on a cloud, casually scratching its ear.

Compared to an awakened, Second Stage Sovereign-Tier Emperor, even a Shining Species’s aura was overshadowed…

If the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light’s aura density had been 1.5 times greater than the Moonlight Rabbit’s before, it was now seventy or eighty times greater…

Just then, Lian Xing’s voice echoed in its mind.

[It’s almost time. I’m going to use that…]

[I don’t know if your Royal-Tier body can withstand it. No matter what, end this quickly. No more playing around, understand?]

“…”
“…”
“Yes, yes, I understand~~~”

“I was just not fully awake before~~~” the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon yawned, its expression languid, as it waved its ears.

As it gave the command, Lian Xing, hiding inside Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Viral World, covered her eyes. When she removed her hand, the star pattern in her left eye had been replaced by a vast, starry sky.

The reason Lian Xing hadn’t let the Moonlight Rabbit go all out from the start was because this ability was a one-time use, with a long cooldown.

If it didn’t instantly defeat the Ten Thousand Blades Gloomy Light, it would be troublesome…

So, she had first let the Moonlight Rabbit provoke it into using its Second Stage Awakening, confirming that it was an attack-focused build, then she would use this ability for a quick and decisive victory.

“…”

“…”

“Moonlight Rabbit, Second Stage Star Pole Awakening!!!”
