Chapter 104: Transcendent Sheathing!!
—Bimen Pass, East Gate Area—
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!”
The earth shook, flesh and blood flew.
Under the Heavy Assault Dominator V’s terrifying barrage, the entire eastern region was reduced to a scorched wasteland, the air filled with scorching heat. Missiles rained down like they were…free…, deafening explosions echoing as the shockwaves sent the trial participants flying one after another.
“I wonder…did something happen to the Great Lord Biluo, or is this part of the trial…?” Qunjian, the Future Tower champion, sat at the mecha’s control console, her fingers, enhanced with mechanical spider joints, flying across the countless buttons and keys like a drummer.
Meanwhile, the data of all the pet beasts within Bimen Pass was displayed on her console.
[Blazing Nova]
[Shadow Cutter Night Watch]
[Feathered Crystal Sparrow]
[Jade Extremity Sky Wolf]
[Lantern Tail · Sky Thief]
[Evil Wind Ink Spirit · Decapitator]
[Blood Spirit Orb · Cobalt]
[Azure Hairpin Bind]
[Heaven-Gracing Curtain]
[Red Prison Palace Master]
[Mist Colt]
“…”
“…”
“Hmm…?” Seeing the long list of pet beasts, Qunjian frowned slightly, puzzled.
She had specifically filtered for Royal-Tier units, why were there so many?
Did this mean that so many of them had unleashed Royal-Tier power during this time?
She carefully examined the list.
Azure Hairpin Bind…that should be her current opponent…
But, wasn’t the Heaven-Gracing Curtain a Commander-Tier evolution?
And, if the information she had collected wasn’t wrong…wasn’t that Mist Colt a Mid-Tier Rare Species from Cold Toad Province next door!!!?
Qunjian was confused by her own data.
The Heaven-Gracing Curtain surpassing Commander-Tier to reach Royal-Tier, that was one thing…but the Mid-Tier Mist Colt also emitting a Royal-Tier aura that was absurd, incredibly rare…
“But…since the Four Divine Generals are all fighting…it means this isn’t part of the assessment, but a real emergency, right?”
“So many mutated evolutions must be the remnants of the Cycle of Calamity!!”
“But, the one before me doesn’t seem to be a mutated evolution…” After a brief analysis, Qunjian focused on her opponent again.
At this moment, after several rounds of bombardment from the Heavy Assault Dominator V, the silver scabbard, Azure Hairpin Bind, seemed a bit disheveled, its body covered in dirt and dust.
But it kept muttering something.
“I’m not a failed product…”
“I’m not incomplete…”
“My lord said…I’m the most perfect, the closest to becoming a Fallen Species among the Cycle of Calamity…”
“…”
“…”
“Heh, it seems I have the easiest opponent. Not only is it not a mutated evolution, but it’s also a bit crazy…~~~”
Let’s finish this quickly and go support the others… Seeing the depressed silver scabbard, Qunjian’s tone was relaxed.
Besides, did a Weapon Species without a wielder really think it could fight alone?
It couldn’t even use its own abilities, right?
However, in the next second, under Qunjian’s incredulous gaze, the silver scabbard’s body suddenly exploded, shattering into countless silver fragments that floated in the air.
And then…
Three new entries appeared on Qunjian’s console.
[Weapon Species — Royal-Tier — Silver Blade Azure Barrier]
[Weapon Species — Royal-Tier — Tassel-Sealed Hairpin]
[Weapon Species — Royal-Tier — Dueling Horn Sheath Bind]
“Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz——!!!”
At the same time, alarms blared inside the Heavy Assault Dominator V, the entire cockpit turning red. Seeing this, Qunjian swallowed nervously. When the alarms sounded, it meant that the Heavy Assault Dominator V’s detection Arcane Art had sensed an incredibly powerful life force, indicating that she had encountered an unstoppable opponent.
However, this was the first time she had encountered a three-in-one panel. She couldn’t resist her curiosity.
“What is going on with this thing…?”
“How can it have the panels of three pet beasts inside…?” Qunjian muttered, unable to comprehend.
Even mutated evolutions only had two panels in certain situations, right?
Meanwhile, captured by the high-definition cameras…
The shattered fragments of the silver scabbard began to reassemble, gradually forming a hazy humanoid figure, its silver outline blurry and indistinct, only its long, flowing hair, as real as a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind.
A few seconds later, it raised its head, revealing strange, single-line eyes, crossed by silver lines – -, and whispered, “Transcendent · Sheathing.”
“Whoosh—————————”
In an instant, the screen turned white.
In the next second, before Qunjian could even react, the Heavy Assault Dominator V’s massive body was bisected. The invisible slash extended for over ten kilometers, reducing several mountains to ashes, even a few fleeing avian Biological Species were caught in the blast, instantly disintegrating into dust.
In the silent aftermath, the Heavy Assault Dominator V’s tall form vanished, collapsing into a pile of broken parts.
At the same time, the girl, her body enhanced with mechanical prosthetics, began to fall from the sky.
“Eh?”
Facing this sudden turn of events, Qunjian was dumbfounded, her mind unable to process what had happened.
What…what was going on? Had she already lost?
She hadn’t even seen the attack…
Mechanical Species pet beasts were usually interconnected, so when the Heavy Assault Dominator V was destroyed, the other parts-type Mechanical Species attached to it were also considered dead, five of them gone in an instant!!!
Qunjian’s face was filled with despair.
At this moment, as the girl, her pet beasts destroyed and her situation hopeless, plummeted towards the ground, the silver scabbard, now in its humanoid form, prepared to attack again.
Then, as if remembering something, it stopped, turning and heading towards another battle zone.
“Whoosh—”
Its body vanished, teleporting instantly.
And Qunjian, still falling from the sky, her expression shifting from relief to panic.
Her pet beasts were all gone. Falling from this height, there was no chance of survival. She wasn’t a hybrid…
So…she wouldn’t die at the hands of the enemy, but from a pathetic fall…?
As Qunjian watched the ground approaching, her eyes filled with despair, just five meters away…
A gentle, invisible breeze caught her.
At the same time, Silver Dragon, her long silver dragon tail swaying behind her, her face flushed beneath her mask, emerged from the void, gasping for breath, her eyes fixed on the direction where the silver scabbard had vanished.
“This thing…it’s much stronger than any Royal-Tier pet beast I’ve ever encountered…”
“But, such a strange aura…”
“An incomplete mutation, just like Little Star’s red rings…” Silver Dragon muttered, lost in thought.
She had witnessed the entire battle from point-blank range, even activating her hybrid form to extend her Shared Travel duration.
She had seen something truly extraordinary…
Bimen Pass, western region.
Unlike the minor skirmishes in the other three areas, the battle here was truly devastating, all the trial participants fleeing, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
The sun blazed, everything seemed to boil.
A white light, like a miniature sun, floated in the sky.
Everything within a radius of thousands of kilometers, centered around the woman in white, was reduced to ashes.
The red sphere and the black elemental figure desperately dodged in the sky, but they were still constantly injured, their bodies almost melting.
“Use the Red Quality combat skill again…” the Evil Wind Ink Spirit said, gritting its teeth.
However, before it could even gather its energy, the woman in white simply glanced at it coldly, and its black, crystalline body instantly vaporized, only a scorching black crystal remaining, trembling in fear.
The Blood Spirit Orb wasn’t doing much better. It had tried to use its void several times to approach Bai Feng, but every time it emerged and touched the air, its body would be reduced to a single, blood-red crystal, forcing it to retreat back into the void, just like the Evil Wind Ink Spirit.
“It’s so hot! I’m burning!!!”
“Rat-girl, you useless thing… Didn’t you activate Awakening? Why aren’t you helping!!” the Blood Spirit Orb · Cobalt cursed angrily, facing this one-sided situation.
This woman in white…she hadn’t even moved, and she had already pushed them to this point.
The difference in strength between the Four Divine Generals was now clear.
Jueying had been defeated by the Blood Spirit Orb, Hades Spear had been instantly killed by the Evil Wind Ink Spirit.
But Fire Ban Bai Feng…
She was so terrifying that she could single-handedly suppress two mutated Royal-Tier pet beasts with just her pet beast’s aura, not even allowing them to get close…
[I’m on my way. Just a few more seconds.] the Lantern Tail’s impatient voice echoed.
Suddenly, the woman in white looked up at the sky, her expression cold.
“How annoying…” she muttered.
At this moment, in the distance, a giant, green bird was rapidly approaching. It was a giant peacock, its body covered in green crystals.
Chongxiao, one of the Four Divine Generals, and her main battle pet beast, the Feathered Crystal Sparrow!!!
Five minutes after the attack began, Chongxiao had finally arrived from the south gate, having crossed almost half of Bimen Pass. Seeing the giant, fiery light source at the center of the battlefield, Chongxiao swallowed nervously.
“White Incandescent Nova!!!!!”
“Bai Feng actually summoned her pet beast in Bimen Pass? It seems the enemy this time is formidable…”
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
Suddenly, as Chongxiao finished speaking, her expression froze, her face turning pale. For some reason, the Feathered Crystal Sparrow beneath her instantly exploded into a bloody mist, its body parts scattering through the sky like rain.
In the next second, under Chongxiao’s horrified gaze, a white light, after piercing through the Feathered Crystal Sparrow from tens of thousands of meters away, continued its flight, reaching the center of the battlefield, its speed so fast that even she, a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, couldn’t even see it…
“Hurry, hurry, hurry…what’s the rush!!!” the Lantern Tail screeched impatiently as it arrived.
And as she fell from the sky, Chongxiao finally saw its figure. Although its appearance had completely changed, the familiar aura was undoubtedly the rat-person who had impersonated the examiner at the south gate!
How had it gotten here so quickly?
Did this mean that golden-haired girl was already dead…?
Meanwhile, facing the suddenly appearing Lantern Tail, the Blood Spirit Orb glanced at the falling Chongxiao, then asked, its voice filled with annoyance, “You didn’t even fight that Divine General?”
“Then what were you doing? Why did you activate Awakening? And it’s been over three minutes! Why did it take you so long to deal with your opponent?”
“…”
“…”
“Oh, this opponent…is interesting…”
“White Incandescent Nova, prepare to increase the output~~” Meanwhile, as the Cycle of Calamity members bickered, the woman in white raised an eyebrow slightly.
She could clearly sense that the thing that had just flown over from tens of kilometers away, instantly killing Chongxiao, was unusual…
Following her command, the white sphere’s glow intensified, the scorching heat in the air increasing. Both the Blood Spirit Orb and the Evil Wind Ink Spirit were forced to retreat by the heat.
Only the Lantern Tail, with a look of annoyance, looked towards the source of the heat, ignoring the Blood Spirit Orb’s questions.
“Buzz—”
In the next second, under Fire Ban Bai Feng’s stunned gaze, the rat-woman before her suddenly vanished.
This speed was beyond her perception.
The White Incandescent Nova’s frantic warning sent a shiver of dread through her. She tried to summon her other pet beasts to defend, but her body seemed to freeze…
Then, a smooth, red line appeared on her right arm.
“Rip—”
A white, severed arm fell to the ground.
Bai Feng’s cold and arrogant expression instantly turned pale.
At the same time, the Lantern Tail’s frustrated voice echoed from behind, “This isn’t fair! Why is my opponent so troublesome…?”
