Chapter 107: Monarch-Tier · Heaven’s Cry Thunderclap Hairpin!!p1
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
The moment the illusory red palace expanded, it enveloped not only the western region of Bimen Pass but also the residential areas within. Of course, due to Star Sand’s awakening, there were no buildings or landmarks left inside Bimen Pass, only the fleeing wild pet beasts and the Beast Tamers.
Under Lian Xing’s ruthless command, besides the Cycle of Calamity members, the Red Prison Palace Master also targeted all contracted pet beasts, sparing the wild ones and the Beast Tamers, designating them as allies…
After all, contracted pet beasts could be resurrected infinitely. It was a good opportunity for the Red Prison Palace Master to gain experience and progress on its Fallen Species path. Even a mosquito was still meat…
Moreover, having reached this point, not inflicting a few hundred million casualties would make her seem too kind…
Red Prison Palace, activate!!
“Boom!!!!!”
The world fell silent.
As the indiscriminate slashes erupted, the Pet Essence within Bimen Pass was shredded, the air itself distorting.
Qing Zhanwan, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit, and the Blood Spirit Orb were all heavily injured, their bodies covered in visible cuts. The Evil Wind Ink Spirit’s elemental body even disintegrated, leaving only its black life crystal exposed.
When its Full Elementalization was disabled, an Elemental Species became the most vulnerable of the five evolution types.
“Pfft!!!”
The Blood Spirit Orb · Cobalt was no exception. It was forced out of its void, its body exploding, its internal organs spilling out. Looking at the smiling golden-haired girl in the distance, its aura fluctuating wildly, it snarled, “As expected, this attack can hit Elemental Species and Viral Species!!”
“…”
“…”
Crimson Bombardment, although only the Red Prison Palace Master’s third Arcane Art, could reveal a Viral Species’s void. In the later stages of evolution, almost everyone had countermeasures… A Viral Species’s void was mainly used for concealment and storage. Only lower-level Beast Tamers would be helpless against a Viral Species in its incorporeal form.
At this moment, among the three beasts, Qing Zhanwan was in the best condition. Her body had only blurred slightly, seemingly unharmed, having blocked the attack with her durability…
Seeing this, the golden-haired girl’s smile widened.
“Not bad, quite tough indeed…”
“Then let’s increase the power… a bit~~”
“Boom!!!!”
As Lian Xing’s words echoed, the Pet Essence in the western region of Bimen Pass began to crack, as if being crushed by an invisible force.
As the Red Prison Palace’s second round of slashes began, true despair descended.
[Penetration]
[Azure Edge]
[Desperate Gamble]
If the first attack had been just a test , then this one was different…
At this moment, simply sensing the prelude to this attack, both the Blood Spirit Orb and the Evil Wind Ink Spirit knew…
Even with a thousand lives, they couldn’t survive this!!!
“Awakening!!!!!”
“Boom!!!!!”
In desperation, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit · Decapitator clasped its hands together, blood spurting from its seven orifices, as it roared. In the next second, a torrent of black wind blades erupted from its body, raining down on the Red Prison Palace like a storm. These scythe-like wind blades, after spreading out, didn’t dissipate, but instead split and spun, swirling through the sky above the western region of Bimen Pass, indiscriminately slaughtering any avian pet beasts in their path.
Blood rained down, staining the entire Bimen Pass crimson, although it was already red due to the Red Prison Palace’s presence.
A moment later, under everyone’s gaze…
An elemental figure, its body covered in black crystals, emerged from the chaotic vortex of wind, two giant scythes crossed behind its back, its outline glowing faintly red.
“…”
“…”
“Death Sentence!!!”
In the next second, the aura of a Red Quality combat skill erupted from the Evil Wind Ink Spirit.
Lian Xing had explained before, during Bing Zhuyu’s awakening, that the first change for most Elemental Species after awakening was a doubling of their Spirit attribute. So, at this moment, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit, its Spirit attribute doubled, had broken through Star Sand’s suppression, regaining its combat skills and Arcane Arts, finally able to fight at its full power!!!
However, seeing the black elemental figure also unleashing a Red Quality combat skill, the golden-haired girl’s expression remained calm, not a hint of surprise or fear.
Well, that was to be expected…
Could Lian Xing not tell that it was a Spirit-focused build?
If it couldn’t even break free from Star Sand’s suppression after doubling its Spirit attribute, that would be surprising. She would even question whether it was truly an Elemental Species or just a newborn…
Under everyone’s gaze, the sky began to darken.
A giant black scythe descended from the heavens, covering the sky. As it fell, its destructive aura intensified, its blurry outline growing larger.
[Death Sentence (Red): Unleashes a Wind-type slash against all targets within the area. Slashing power is equal to the combined aura of all Wind-type pet beasts in the area. 50% damage reduction against Viral Species voids, 50% damage increase against Elemental Species.]
Unlike Gold and Dark Gold Quality combat skills, every Red Quality combat skill was unique…
It was so unique that it was fucking ridiculous…
The moment a Red Quality combat skill appeared, most Beast Tamers could just give up…
Facing this devastating attack, Hades Spear and Snow Prison, the two Royal-Tier Beast Tamers, hadn’t even had a chance to resist.
Forget about how many Wind-type pet beasts were in the area, the Evil Wind Ink Spirit itself was the strongest Wind-type Royal-Tier pet beast.
This meant that the minimum power of Death Sentence was equivalent to being slapped by an awakened Royal-Tier pet beast. Whether you survived or not depended on your luck…
However…
At this moment, just as the terrifying scythe was about to strike the top of the Red Prison Palace…
“Buzz—”
Under the Evil Wind Ink Spirit’s incredulous gaze, the black scythe passed straight through the Red Prison Palace’s illusory barrier, as if it weren’t even there, continuing its descent.
Seeing this, everyone, including Qing Zhanwan, was shocked.
“She didn’t…block it!?”
“How is that possible!!!”
The red palace…it had actually allowed the enemy’s combat skill to pass through?
It was like refusing to clash, letting the opponent attack first, then retaliating…if she survived.
Although they didn’t know what this golden-haired girl’s trump card was, one thing was certain…those who were just watching were screwed…
They were about to be bombarded by two Red Quality combat skills!!!
Even the Evil Wind Ink Spirit’s face turned pale.
It could sense that the opponent’s next attack was also about to be unleashed.
An Elemental Species’s Awakening didn’t enhance its defense.
This meant that facing the opponent’s next attack, it couldn’t escape death…
It had planned to cancel out the opponent’s Red Quality combat skill with its own…it had never expected Moon Rabbit to do something so unthinkable…!!!
Meanwhile, under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, chuckling as she explained, “I still have five more slashes. Why would I waste them on your single attack?”
“Besides, the Red Prison Palace’s strength lies in its invisibility…and its ability to unleash six consecutive slashes. It can’t be interrupted or blocked. Simply clashing with it is…unwise~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!”
In the next second, disaster struck.
The scythe and its energy erupted, reducing the entire western region of Bimen Pass to ashes. The devastating red and black light spread outwards, blinding the trial participants who were watching from a distance, then the shockwave sent them flying.
Even Qing Zhanwan, in her triple Sheathing state, was blown to the edge of Bimen Pass, her blue, glowing body riddled with cracks, blood spurting from her seven orifices. She clutched her scabbard, trying to unleash an attack, but in the chaotic Pet Essence flow, she couldn’t even gather her strength.
Soon, she was swept away by the blast again.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!!!!”
The air crackled, the Pet Essence swirling chaotically.
Facing two simultaneously activated Red Quality combat skills…no one could resist.
The aura of annihilation lasted for seven or eight seconds.
As the shockwave subsided…
Under the incredulous gazes of the few survivors, the entire western region of Bimen Pass, as if struck by a meteor, had collapsed, forming a giant abyss, several kilometers deep.
And Bimen Pass…
It was four or five times larger than Baiyue Province!!!
If this battle had taken place in Baiyue Province…Baiyue Province would have been gone…
However…
What was even more terrifying was—
The red palace…it was still there!!!
At this moment, standing at the center of the illusory red palace, the golden-haired girl was enveloped in green flames, a swirling mist of fire and ashes, like a celestial being…
[Mist Colt’s talent, Floating Cloud!!]
[Passively creates an illusory shield that absorbs all external impacts. Can cover allies. Absorption limit based on the Mist Colt’s will and level.]
Soon, the Mist Colt fell unconscious.
But it had actually withstood a Red Quality combat skill unleashed by an awakened Royal-Tier pet beast!!!
The Evil Wind Ink Spirit · Decapitator’s strongest attack, in its awakened state…it hadn’t even broken through the defense of a mere Mid-Tier Mist Colt…
“How beautiful…Mist Colt.”
“Now…let’s end this—”
As the golden-haired girl’s joyful voice echoed, under everyone’s horrified gazes, the slashes that disintegrated all air and Pet Essence began to churn again.
The Red Prison Palace’s third attack was coming!!
However, at that critical moment…
Another red aura began to rise—
Under everyone’s gaze, a figure in a red robe slowly emerged from the ruins. It had a human body, but its head was a red sphere, containing a brain, eyes, nostrils, a mouth, ears…all the necessary organs, their positions surprisingly accurate…
Facing imminent death, the Blood Spirit Orb · Cobalt, the strongest of the four Cycle of Calamity beasts, had finally activated Awakening.
Viral Species’ Awakening was the most difficult to trigger, and their awakened abilities were all unique…
After awakening, the Blood Spirit Orb’s aura had intensified dramatically, its life force even overshadowing the Red Prison Palace’s combat skill. At this moment, holding the Evil Wind Ink Spirit in one hand and Qing Zhanwan in the other, it looked at the golden-haired girl with a grim expression.
“Stop, Moon Rabbit. There’s no need for us to fight.”
“Help us kill every living being in Bimen Pass, and you can have the largest share of the Great Lord Biluo’s crystal.”
“And unlike the others, my Awakening can last for fourteen minutes.”
“…”
“…”
As the Blood Spirit Orb finished speaking, all the trial participants were filled with fear.
Indeed, there was no reason for the Cycle of Calamity and Moon Rabbit to fight.
More importantly, even if Bimen Pass was slaughtered, the investigators would only find traces of the Cycle of Calamity, they wouldn’t suspect Moon Rabbit.
She wasn’t even a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, how could she possibly pose a threat to Bimen Pass?
So…what was Moon Rabbit thinking…?
Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl smiled, the star patterns in her eyes twinkling mockingly.
Unfortunately, the Great Lord Biluo’s crystal was useless to Lian Xing. She had no intention of building a Mechanical Species lineup, and Mechanical Species were the only type that couldn’t benefit from the Red Prison Palace Master’s Arcane Arts.
So, compared to a Mechanical Species Monarch-Tier crystal, Lian Xing was more interested in the crystals of Qing Zhanwan and the Blood Spirit Orb.
“…”
“…”
“It seems…there’s no room for negotiation…” Seeing Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s expression, the Blood Spirit Orb instantly understood.
So, it decisively abandoned the idea of negotiation, turning to the silver, glowing figure in its hand, which was rapidly recovering.
“Qing Zhanwan, your Sheathing, unlike Awakening, consumes very little stamina.”
“I’ll kill every living being in Bimen Pass within fourteen minutes. Then it’s up to you. The Evil Wind Ink Spirit and I will need at least ten days to recover.”
“After that…no matter what happens… you’re on your own!!”
“I understand…” Qing Zhanwan nodded, her expression grim.
Originally, with only the Lantern Tail having activated Awakening, they still had options. But now, with both the Evil Wind Ink Spirit and the Blood Spirit Orb also awakened, they had no choice but to destroy Bimen Pass as quickly as possible…
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…
She had single-handedly forced them into this corner.
