Chapter 103: Royal-Tier, Lian Xing’s Full Power!!! p1
—Bimen Pass, South Entrance—
“Bang!!!”
Under the Lantern Tail’s horrified gaze, a small crack appeared on the surface of its crystal after being sliced by the Red Prison Palace Master. At this moment, it was filled with fear and dread, a chilling sensation running down its spine, its fur standing on end.
A Royal-Tier life crystal, especially one that had undergone mutated evolution, was usually twice as hard as a normal one. Even so, it had been injured by those two red rings.
This meant that this golden-haired girl before it…actually had a chance of defeating it…!!
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
As the Lantern Tail stood frozen in shock and fear, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, several kilometers away, raised its ears again. In the next second, without warning, a powerful reverse wind erupted, pulling the Lantern Tail’s crystal towards them uncontrollably.
[Reverse Raging Wind X9]
[Combo X10 X9]
Facing this inescapable hurricane, the Lantern Tail’s crystal, still regenerating its flesh, tumbled towards the golden-haired girl’s lineup.
Meanwhile, as the two flashing red lights approached again…
The Lantern Tail, a Royal-Tier pet beast, finally abandoned its pride, screaming in terror.
“Squeal, squeal, squeal, squeal!!!!!”
“Royal Awakening!!!!!”
“Boom!!!!!”
In the next second, a giant wave of white energy erupted, obliterating the entire south entrance area. All the terrain and structures were swept away, even the Pet Essence in the air seemed to freeze.
Even Chongxiao, who had left the area a minute earlier, was affected by the terrifying shockwave, tumbling through the air, almost falling.
At the same time, at the east, north, and west gates of Bimen Pass, the Royal-Tier pet beasts and their Beast Tamers looked towards the south, their expressions filled with disbelief.
They had been wondering…what the hell was going on over there!?
Meanwhile, sensing the Lantern Tail’s awakened aura, the other three Cycle of Calamity Royal-Tier pet beasts were the most shocked.
[What are you doing? Chongxiao is only ranked fourth among the Four Divine Generals! Why did you activate Awakening!!!?]
[Are you crazy, rat-girl? You’ll be completely exhausted after Awakening!!!]
*[Is your opponent that strong…?]
[…]
[…]
[Shut up, you two idiots! I’ll kill every living being in Bimen Pass within five minutes, then you can come and collect me!] The message from the south gate was filled with an unusual ferocity and…irritation, unlike the rat-headed girl’s usual meekness.
Being forced to activate Awakening by a mere Commander-Tier pet beast and a High-Tier mutated evolution…it was an unbearable humiliation for the Lantern Tail.
Honestly, in Lian Xing’s eyes, the Lantern Tail’s overall strength was only slightly higher than the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King. Its crystal was harder, and its speed was faster, but its destructive power was far lower.
However, after awakening, its aura had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Its mere presence and breathing…it was enough to make the entire Bimen Pass tremble, the Pet Essence in the air becoming chaotic.
If not for the Monarch-Tier Viral Species crystal fragment blocking this region, the commotion caused by the Lantern Tail would have already alerted the other regions.
[Awakening] was a weapon exclusive to Royal-Tier pet beasts with mastered characteristics.
Of course, Super Rare Species like Bing Zhuyu also had innate awakening abilities.
Whether a Royal-Tier pet beast possessed Awakening was also a factor in its combat power assessment. However, the difference between them was immeasurable, like the bright moon compared to a faint firefly.
Once a Royal-Tier pet beast’s characteristic awakened…it was beyond the capabilities of a Beast Tamer like Lian Xing…
Bimen Pass, north gate.
The examiner impersonating the official was the Elemental Species Royal-Tier pet beast among the four Cycle of Calamity beasts. Its body was covered in black crystals, a giant, guillotine-like blade floating behind it.
Evil Wind Ink Spirit · Decapitator.
It was the one who had used the Monarch-Tier Viral Species fragment to seal off this region. As the source of the device, defeating it would lift the blockade on Bimen Pass.
However, the four Cycle of Calamity beasts hadn’t bothered to…group up…for defense, instead scattering and fighting individually, as if they didn’t even consider the trial participants a threat.
At this moment, facing off against the Evil Wind Ink Spirit was a green-haired woman in a green robe, wielding an emerald green spear with crescent moon patterns, her movements swift and graceful.
One of the Four Divine Generals, Hades Spear, the strongest…
Personally Entering the Battle, specialist in Bimen Pass, the best Weapon Species wielder.
The Royal-Tier Weapon Species, Jade Extremity Sky Wolf.
And the…genetically modified…Mechanical Species that enhanced her physical abilities to rival a pet beast’s — the Commander-Tier Ancient Blood!!
“Whoosh!!!!!”
In the next second, her skin covered in green, flowing tattoos, Hades Spear’s body shot forward, tearing through the air like a rocket, crashing into the Evil Wind Ink Spirit. Simultaneously, her spear thrust forward, a terrifying wolf head shockwave extending for over ten kilometers, instantly obliterating the mountains, earth, rivers, and forests in its path.
This terrifying power even sent the Commander-Tier Beast Tamers behind them flying, scrambling to avoid the debris.
Meanwhile, sensing the strange sensation, Hades Spear frowned.
A few seconds later, as the dust settled, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit, unharmed, slowly descended from the sky, looking at the green-haired woman with an indifferent expression.
“Tch, Full Elementalization…?”
“How troublesome!!” Hades Spear cursed inwardly.
No one wanted to face an Elemental Species, regardless of tier.
Among pet beasts of the same tier, Mechanical Species and Biological Species were considered the easiest to deal with. Besides them, Viral Species, Elemental Species, and Weapon Species with highly compatible wielders were difficult to find weaknesses in.
“Whoosh——!!!”
Just then, a wave of cold swept through the battlefield from behind, freezing the Evil Wind Ink Spirit solid. Under Hades Spear’s surprised gaze, a tall, white-haired girl in a white winter coat walked forward.
The league champion of the 7th-level region, Floating Snow City, a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, codenamed Snow Prison.
She was also one of the main targets of the four Cycle of Calamity beasts, participating in the trials at the north gate, just like Hades Spear.
“Divine General, let me assist you. My baby is a control-type Elemental Species. It can disrupt the opponent’s Full Elementalization and even attack it in its elementalized form.”
“Thank you, that’s a great help. Let’s add each other as friends later…” the green-haired woman said gratefully.
Actually, even if they couldn’t defeat it, it didn’t matter, as long as they could stall for time. Because Fire Ban · Bai Feng, the leader of the Four Divine Generals, hadn’t made a move yet…
That girl…
She was on a completely different level compared to the other Royal-Tier Beast Tamers here, even in the highly competitive Beast Tamer Association Headquarters league, she would be a formidable opponent.
“Whoosh——!!!”
However, just as Hades Spear was thinking, a red aura enveloped the entire north gate area of Bimen Pass. Under Hades Spear and Snow Prison’s incredulous gazes, their vision turned crimson.
Above the clouds, a black scythe, enveloped in red light, descended, the energy at its tip intensifying as it fell, its destructive power so great that it seemed to burn their eyes.
Seeing this apocalyptic scene, Hades Spear, after a moment of stunned silence, let out a desperate cry.
“It’s a Red Quality combat skill!!!”
“Run!!!!!”
“Boom!!!!”
Red Quality combat skill: Death Sentence.
With a single attack, all the trial participants at the north gate were wiped out.
The entire northern region was devastated, over a hundred million native residents of Bimen Pass killed.
Meanwhile—
In the western battle zone, seeing the destruction in the north, the red sphere, currently fighting against Jueying, the youngest of the Four Divine Generals, chuckled.
Evil Wind Ink Spirit, although not very intelligent, was the most destructive among the four of them.
Seeing this level of power, those insects should be desperate now, right…?
As expected, Jueying, the usually confident young girl, her expression now grim, looked towards the north, her control over her pet beast faltering.
Seeing this, the red sphere immediately launched a surprise attack.
“Splatter!!!”
In the next second, the blood and organs within its body erupted, countless bloody projectiles shooting out in all directions. Over a dozen pet beasts belonging to the trial participants at the west gate were instantly pierced, and the remaining blood projectiles struck the black shadow scarf surrounding the young girl, sending her flying for several meters.
Taking this attack head-on, even as a Viral Species hybrid, whose body was much more resilient than a human’s, Jueying still vomited a mouthful of blood. In the next second, she glared at the red sphere, her face contorted in anger, and the black shadow around her extended like tendrils.
All her Arcane Arts activated, and a Dark Gold Quality combat skill was unleashed!!!
[Combat Skill: Shadow Split (Dark Gold)]
Instantly, the sharp, black tendrils, which had evolved from the scarf, split into ten, then a hundred, the divisions increasing exponentially, finally transforming into a massive, cascading black waterfall, engulfing the red sphere’s blood projectiles and crashing against its protective barrier.
Even if an Elemental Species used Full Elementalization, it could still be attacked by another Elemental Species. But each Viral Species’s void was independent, although you couldn’t enter it, you could still attack it from the outside, the outcome determined by the strength of their respective voids.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”
In the blink of an eye, the red sphere’s viral barrier was struck tens of thousands of times, but it simply smiled, seemingly unfazed.
A dozen seconds later, as Jueying and the Shadow Cutter Night Watch’s attack subsided, she stared in disbelief, her body covered in goosebumps.
The dust settled, and the red sphere emerged, unharmed.
Only a few ripples appeared on its viral barrier, a sign of its unwavering defense.
Clearly, as Viral Species, the strength of their voids was on completely different levels!!!
Jueying couldn’t even scratch its barrier, let alone its crystal or its body!!
“How…how could it be so strong…!!!” Jueying muttered, her face pale, her eyes unfocused.
After all, she was just a child under ten years old, used to having things her way, she had never encountered a pet beast of the same type that completely outclassed her.
Meanwhile, Bai Feng, the woman in white, sat behind the black-haired girl, her legs crossed, observing the battle with a cold expression, not intervening.
The red sphere glanced at Jueying, then at the cold, white-haired woman in white with a wary expression.
Bai Feng…
The reason they had chosen it to face her was because Viral Species had the strongest defenses. It could defend against her attacks while dealing with another Divine General.
But unexpectedly, this woman hadn’t made a move.
Even after the trial participants at the north gate had been wiped out, Bai Feng remained indifferent, showing no intention of helping.
If her billions of fans saw this apathetic behavior, she would definitely lose followers…
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”
In the western battle zone, the red sphere, wary of Fire Ban Bai Feng, continued fighting against Jueying, their black shadows and red blood colliding. As Viral Species specializing in piercing attacks, their battle was brutal.
Gradually, Jueying, initially on par with it, began to lose ground, even forced to use Shared Travel several times to dodge the attacks. Soon, she collapsed to the ground, exhausted, both her lung capacity and the Shadow Cutter Night Watch’s Pet Essence depleted.
“I…I can’t…”
“Where did this thing even come from? Is it level 200? Direct confrontation is useless…”
“The Great Lord Biluo hasn’t made a move. I have to find a way to break through…!!!”
“Boom!!!!”
Before Jueying could even come up with a plan, the Shadow Cutter Night Watch’s void was shattered. However, for some reason, the red sphere spared the young girl’s life, simply slapping her away, sending her flying for hundreds of meters, where she landed, unconscious.
Seeing this, Bai Feng, who had been observing the battle, raised an eyebrow, asking, “Why didn’t you kill her?”
“…”
“…”
“You first. Why haven’t you attacked?” the red sphere asked instead of answering.
Hearing this, the white-haired woman chuckled coldly.
“Bimen Pass hasn’t faced a crisis in a long time. So long that the Great Lord has forgotten that strength is the only measure of worth…”
“Your timing is convenient. It’s just that you’re a bit weak. Not enough to truly test my current strength.” Clearly, Bai Feng was dissatisfied with the Great Lord Biluo and Bimen Pass’s decisions in the past two years, even willing to sacrifice the lives of Bimen Pass residents to prove her own importance.
She would defeat these invaders, of course, but…she would wait until Bimen Pass had suffered a bit more…
As the leader of the Four Divine Generals, the five-time champion of the Bimen Pass league, the 21st place winner in the Beast Tamer Association’s Grand Finals, she had been rejected twice by the Great Lord Biluo.
Bai Feng was lost, unable to understand what qualities were required to become the new guardian of Bimen Pass.
Was it achievements in real-life battles!?
Or a higher ranking in the league?
Or was the Great Lord simply senile…?
In the end, it was because her existence wasn’t essential to Bimen Pass. With or without Fire Ban Bai Feng… it didn’t matter.
So, this invasion by the Cycle of Calamity was timely. So timely that Bai Feng almost wanted to laugh…
Could Bimen Pass, without Bai Feng, survive this crisis?
“…”
“…”
“After defeating all of you, I’ll bring you, Royal-Tier pet beasts, to the Great Lord Biluo as hostages and force it to self-destruct…”
The red sphere, surprisingly honest, explained its plan after Bai Feng stated her reasons.
The four of them had originally planned to consume the crystals of a few elite trial participants to enhance their own strength. After all, the Great Lord Biluo’s control center had been hacked. They could use its systems to send messages and easily hide a few deaths every year under the guise of the trials.
After a few years, the Great Lord Biluo’s lifespan would be over…
But since their plan had been exposed, and this region had been sealed off by their viral fragment, the situation wasn’t as optimistic.
The Beast Tamer Association might discover their actions within a year.
So they had to speed things up, capturing the Four Divine Generals and a few other Royal-Tier Beast Tamers, then deciding what to do with the Great Lord Biluo.
“Thud!!!”
As the red sphere and the woman in white were talking, two half-dead bodies fell from the sky. Bai Feng looked closely. It was Hades Spear and Snow Prison, the champion of Floating Snow City.
At this moment, their bodies were covered in burns, barely clinging to life.
Just then, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit also descended from the sky, glancing at the red sphere and Bai Feng with a puzzled expression.
“You haven’t finished yet? What’s taking so long?”
“…”
“…”
“You came just in time. This one…is different!!”
“We can deal with her together~~” The red sphere explained casually as it swallowed the unconscious bodies of Jueying, Snow Prison, and Hades Spear.
To prevent accidentally harming these hostages during the battle, it had to take on the responsibility of protecting them.
However, the moment it finished swallowing them…
“Boom!!!!!”
As Bai Feng, the woman in white, extended her hand, a blinding white light erupted, illuminating the area for hundreds of kilometers. A small, incredibly dense sphere of energy appeared in her palm, like a miniature sun.
At this moment, bathed in the radiant white light, Bai Feng’s aura was like a god’s…
This terrifying power…
It was beyond the comprehension of an ordinary Royal-Tier pet beast…
Royal-Tier, Super Rare Elemental Species, White Incandescent Nova!!!
“Just the two of you…?”
“It’s a bit disappointing, but… it’ll do. After all, you two are probably the strongest among the four…” Bai Feng said, her voice indifferent, her eyes lowered, as the blinding light engulfed the area.
The terrain for ten kilometers around was instantly obliterated.
Even a few trial participants who hadn’t escaped far enough were incinerated.
Indiscriminate destruction during battle…
This was the origin of Bai Feng’s title, [Fire Ban].
It wasn’t just a codename, but also a restriction, forbidding her from summoning her pet beast in reality.
Meanwhile, the red sphere and the Evil Wind Ink Spirit, the two Royal-Tier pet beasts, were drenched in cold sweat.
Undoubtedly, Fire Ban Bai Feng’s aura it was on a completely different level compared to the other Divine Generals!!!
