Chapter 155: Star Sand Enters the Stage, Sealing All!
All-Pet Beast Tournament, top 50 to top 25.
The most anticipated matches in this round were Dead Ash’s Ancient Juvenile Species versus Little Flower Goddess of the City of Awe, and Moon Rabbit Lian Xing versus the Second Princess of Youyou Leize. The second match, in particular, was attracting a lot of attention. After all, the Ancient Juvenile Species had already lost to Lian Xing once, and Little Flower Goddess’s fame was far less than that of the Second Princess, the descendant of the Great Emperor Yun Jianyou.
To put it simply, the former Sovereign of the Dominating Cauldron Palace was known as the Azure Sky Emperor, and the former Sovereign of the City of Awe was known as the Heavenly Peach Emperor, but Yun Jianyou was called the Great Emperor, which showed his status and prestige among Emperor-Tier pet beasts.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless beings across the Pet Beast World, the 50 Supernova participants stood on the platform of the mountain peak in the waiting area. And seeing the golden-haired girl, her face slightly pale, her steps unsteady, her expression…distracted…, almost all the other participants paused.
The Monarch-Tier commentator also noticed something.
“Hey, everyone, look at Moon Rabbit’s figure. She’s actually wearing a chest binder today. It seems she’s taking this battle very seriously!!”
“She probably doesn’t want her body to affect her concentration. So, the Second Princess is a bigger threat to her than Jade Lady, huh!?”
As the commentator rambled, Lian Xing turned away, speechless.
She was just a bit engorged and anemic…
She had thought the Moonlight Rabbit would fall asleep after drinking so much, but this little newborn had been sucking on her for over ten hours, as if it had never been fed before…
Soon, under the viewers’ excited gazes, the matches finally began. The overall level of competition in this round was clearly higher than the previous one. Almost every participant was at the peak of Royal-Tier, far surpassing the level of the Beast Tamer Alliance.
Finally, under Moon Princess’s grim gaze, it was time for the fourth match, the Third Princess of Youyou Leize, Thunder Fly, versus Moon Princess of the Beast Tamer Alliance.
Before heading to the battlefield, Thunder Fly glanced at Lian Xing, as if asking, Should I hold back…?
Lian Xing shook her head indifferently.
Even if Thunder Fly killed Moon Princess, it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she might even secretly celebrate, then take advantage of the situation and adopt the grieving Hidden Moon Marquis, hoping to inherit some of its wealth.
“Boom!!!”
As expected, the battle ended the moment it began. Even after activating Awakening, the Golden Flower Flying Moon couldn’t even see the Thundering Thousand Tribulations’ movements. The blue, lightning-covered squirrel, enhanced by Ephemeral’s power, instantly pierced through the Golden Flower Flying Moon’s body, leaving a long, arcing scar in the sky.
Seeing this, Moon Princess’s fans in the Beast Tamer Alliance sighed, but they had already accepted this outcome when the match pairings were announced. They were just coming to terms with reality.
Moon Princess, eliminated in the top 50.
Since she was from the same faction as Lian Xing, Thunder Fly had spared her life.
However, at this moment, observing the Thundering Thousand Tribulations, Lian Xing shook her head meaningfully.
“Too forced…”
“Little Fly just obtained Ephemeral. She hasn’t mastered a proper training method yet. She’s still far from reaching Royal-Tier, probably the weakest among the T0 contenders.”
“If Ephemeral could evolve to Royal-Tier…then it might be interesting…” On the first day of the All-Pet Beast Tournament, Lian Xing had used the Azure Mechanical Heart to scan all the participants, assigning them scores…
Among them, three stood out, their auras far surpassing Royal-Tier.
Tears Maiden, Snow Sun, Second Princess. Their auras and status were unshakeable… The reason they were classified as T0 was because that was the highest ranking.
And Jade Lady and herself were in the next tier, barely reaching Monarch-Tier combat power, followed by Thunder Fly and Dead Ash, who hadn’t yet evolved their core pet beasts to Royal-Tier.
And finally, Little Flower Goddess…
Honestly, that hidden figure in the palanquin…even the Azure Mechanical Heart couldn’t fully analyze it. It must have used some special pet beast to block all detection.
But facing Dead Ash’s Ancient Juvenile Species…its true strength would soon be…revealed…
Finally, it was time for the ninth match.
Dead Ash versus Little Flower Goddess.
Under everyone’s gaze, the petite, silver-haired girl walked onto the battle area. Unlike usual, her steps were steady, her aura contained, like an ordinary Beast Tamer.
Normally, the Ancient Juvenile Species’s aura would have already shattered the entire platform…
It seems she can finally control it… Lian Xing thought.
Meanwhile, Dead Ash, after glancing at the golden-haired girl in the spectator area, turned her attention to the large, red palanquin opposite her.
“Playing hide-and-seek…”
[30 seconds remaining.]
[10 seconds remaining.]
[3 seconds remaining.]
Time ticked by, and neither of them summoned their pet beasts.
Then, at the last second, a terrifying wave of blue flames erupted from Dead Ash.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
Under everyone’s gaze, a blue beast, like a meteor, crashed into the palanquin, the shockwave rippling through the air, dispersing the clouds above the Dominating Cauldron Palace. And before the viewers could even react, Little Flower Goddess’s palanquin had been sent flying for thousands of kilometers, crashing through the clouds until it reached the edge of the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s territory.
Only then could they see the Ancient Juvenile Species’s form.
Its body was wreathed in ice-blue flames, its skin covered in scales, its head like a goat’s, with dragon horns, its strong, horse-like body ending in a hooked tail.
This was…
Extinction!!!
And it was wearing a giant, silver, buffalo-horned helmet.
The Royal-Tier Silver Horned Brute, an armor-type Weapon Species!!
“Whoosh—”
In the next second, Extinction’s figure vanished in a flash, reappearing thousands of kilometers away, where Little Flower Goddess’s palanquin had landed.
[Bloodline Combat Skill — Earthquake]
The world…faded…
A deafening roar echoed throughout the Dominating Cauldron Palace.
A few seconds later, as the viewers opened their eyes, the area around the two pet beasts, for thousands of kilometers, had vanished…
In her battle against Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, Dead Ash had learned a valuable lesson: never hold back in a life-or-death battle. If Extinction had gone all out from the start, it might have been able to break through Cloud Dream Calamity’s defenses, perhaps even instantly killing the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, their main attacker.
It was the prolonged battle that had allowed the opponent to adapt to Extinction’s rhythm…
If there was a next time…she would definitely win!!!
So, looking at the shattered remains of the palanquin, Extinction stomped on them, a terrifying energy gathering in its mouth.
[Bloodline Combat Skill — Shockwave]
However, at that moment—
Countless flowers bloomed from within the ruined palanquin. And then, as if a powerful suction force had erupted, Extinction’s figure was pulled inside…
Everyone’s expressions turned to confusion…
What was going on!?
Where had it gone!?
But Dead Ash, seemingly able to see what was happening inside the palanquin, remained calm, simply waiting.
Meanwhile, Lian Xing’s eyes narrowed.
“This ability…it’s similar to the Mist Colt’s Viral Duel, but is it an innate talent…?”
“And inside the palanquin…is that a Viral Space!?”
“No…it’s probably a higher-level void…!!!”
But even if it pulled the Ancient Juvenile Species, Extinction, inside…could it actually defeat it?
It had simply made the environment more favorable. It was still a direct confrontation in the end.
Lian Xing initially thought so, but then she noticed the sweat on Dead Ash’s forehead. Something seemed wrong…
Time ticked by, and the color drained from Dead Ash’s face.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, as the 13th minute arrived…
“Ugh!!!!!”
The silver-haired girl collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, the crimson liquid spurting from her seven orifices. Seeing this horrifying scene, the Beast Tamer Alliance’s higher-ups stood up, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.
Extinction…it had been defeated…!?
What had happened inside!?
An Ancient Juvenile Species defeated just like that?
The entire spectator area was in an uproar.
After Jade Lady, Dead Ash was the second T0 contender to be eliminated.
Soon, with a surge of Viral Species energy, Little Flower Goddess’s palanquin reformed and floated away, leaving Dead Ash kneeling on the ground, vomiting blood, her vision blurring, her eyes fixed on the departing palanquin.
But she quickly accepted her defeat, her head drooping dejectedly.
Meanwhile, a hoarse voice echoed in Lian Xing’s mind, “Lian Xing, be careful. That thing isn’t normal. Its true body isn’t even inside the palanquin.”
“I’ll be blunt. It’s been maintaining a Viral Species Shared Travel state since it appeared. As a fellow Viral Species hybrid, you should understand how unbelievable that is, right?”
“And…although I don’t know how it did it…it has twelve contracted pet beasts!!!”
Hearing Dead Ash’s hurried message, Lian Xing’s starry eyes narrowed.
Maintaining Shared Travel since it appeared…?
Even she, a Viral Species hybrid with a high bloodline purity, could only maintain Shared Travel for about five minutes. Even an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer couldn’t do something like that, right!?
And twelve pet beasts…?
That was simple. It meant the…Reincarnated Soul physique, possessing two life crystals. Other Royal-Tier Beast Tamers could contract six pet beasts, but it could contract twelve.
“And three of them are…” Dead Ash’s voice faded as she lost consciousness.
If this were a movie, even if she died, the angry viewers would resurrect her just to slap her for that cliffhanger…
However, Lian Xing simply rolled her eyes, not really caring. After all, she hated spoilers…
Spoilers are worse than death…
Dead Ash was quickly carried away by the rescue team…
Meanwhile, Lian Xing turned to look at the smiling, purple-haired woman in the distance.
The Second Princess of Youyou Leize.
Lian Xing had to admit, her aura, even among the T0 contenders, was incredibly powerful, that dense and pure Emperor’s blood practically washing over her…
Compared to Little Flower Goddess, who could maintain Unlimited Shared Travel, Lian Xing was much more interested in the Second Princess.
Finally, after a long wait, it was time for the 16th match.
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing versus the Second Princess of Youyou Leize.
Could the only dual-Legend holder of this generation surpass the invincible bloodline of the Great Emperor Yun Jianyou!?
Under everyone’s gaze, the purple-haired woman in a low-cut court dress walked onto the battle platform. Her ample bosom was practically spilling out of her dress, her alluring figure capturing the attention of all the young girls, the beauty mark beneath her eye making their mouths dry.
At 25 years old, the Second Princess was at the peak of her beauty, her mature figure far more enticing than young girls like Lian Xing and Tears Maiden. Even the Monarch-Tier commentator, watching her elegant gait, couldn’t help but swallow hard.
A moment later, Lian Xing, with her two golden buns, dressed in shimmering, translucent, knee-high stockings, a playful smile on her face, also walked onto the stage. Although her opponent was indeed attractive.Lian Xing was confident that in three years, she would be even more alluring…
And in terms of peak beauty, who could compare to the Moonwalker Mother?
[30 seconds remaining.]
As both participants appeared, the countdown began.
Lian Xing, not bothering with pretenses like Dead Ash, immediately summoned the Heaven-Gracing Curtain. However, the Second Princess didn’t move, simply staring at the golden-haired girl with a gentle smile.
“Lian Xing, since you and Little Fly are friends, I won’t hurt you. But…”
“When the battle begins, you have to dodge very quickly. Otherwise, my pet beast won’t be able to control itself…”
“Don’t worry, Sister, I’m not made of paper. I won’t break so easily~~~” Lian Xing replied with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Meanwhile, as the countdown continued, Thunder Fly, watching from the spectator area, clenched her fists. Since childhood, she had always been chasing after her second sister, but she had never seen her true strength. Her second sister had never even revealed her pet beast lineup in public.
But even Monarch-Tier pet beasts felt the urge to bow before her, overwhelmed by her innate aura.
As half-sisters, one with the dominant Emperor’s blood, the other a descendant of a Monarch-Tier support pet beast, the difference in their bloodline purity was vast…
Even after contracting with Ephemeral, even with the white deer space’s help, she still couldn’t reach her second sister’s level.
She knew deep down that her second sister had some unfathomable being within her.
“Little Star, be careful…”
“My sister’s goal this time…is to defeat Tears Maiden!!!”
“…”
“…”
As Thunder Fly’s nervous mutter faded, the countdown reached its final second. And the Second Princess, extending her arms like a bow and arrow, aimed at the Heaven-Gracing Curtain a hundred meters away.
Then, the entire Dominating Cauldron Palace began to tremble.
Under the incredulous gazes of the entire Pet Beast World, the purple-haired woman spoke a single, incomprehensible word, “Returning Dust, pierce her—”
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, a blinding white light, like an explosion of clouds and mist, shot forward, instantly striking Lian Xing and the Heaven-Gracing Curtain. Even Dreamflow Sunset Glow, which had been prepared, was pierced by this holy figure. Then, a wave of white mist engulfed the golden-haired girl, sending her flying towards the edge of the Dominating Cauldron Palace’s territory, the expanding clouds covering hundreds of subordinate regions.
“Buzzzzzzzz—”
At this moment, forgetting about Lian Xing’s condition, Ephemeral, within Thunder Fly, felt a tingling sensation in its scalp. The auras of Tears Maiden, Snow Sun, Little Flower Goddess, and Jade Lady fluctuated violently. Even the Monarch-Tier commentator stood up, its hands on its head, staring at the figure enveloped in mist with a shocked expression.
At this moment, the entire Pet Beast World, from Monarchs to Emperors, fell silent.
Especially in Youyou Leize, where not a single sound could be heard, even the flow of Pet Essence seemed deafening in the silence.
The figure before them…it was a magnificent, snow-white, winged horse, its wings like those of an airplane, its body wreathed in a dreamlike mist.
One of the 72 Legends, Commander-Tier, Biological Species, Returning Dust!!!
And Returning Dust’s previous form was the legendary Emperor who had founded Youyou Leize—
The Great Emperor, Yun Jianyou!!!
“Yun Jianyou! It’s Yun Jianyou! How can it appear in the All-Pet Beast Tournament!?”
“No, the Great Emperor Yun Jianyou is already dead. This must be a newly born Returning Dust, but how did it appear within the Second Princess?”
“The cycle of reincarnation…mother becomes daughter~~~~”
“How could the Second Princess hide this for so long, only revealing it during the All-Pet Beast Tournament? Is she mentally ill…?”
A few seconds later, as they recovered from their shock, the Dominating Cauldron Palace erupted in cheers, the livestream chat flooded with comments. The participants looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Was this a dream?
They were competing against a being of this level!?
The reincarnation of the Great Emperor Yun Jianyou was fighting against them…
What an unbelievable honor…
Yun Jianyou was known as the Great Emperor because it was a Legend that had reached the peak, its name forever etched in the history of the Pet Beast World, an invincible pet beast!!
Facing such a legendary being, how could they possibly win!?
In fact, the moment Returning Dust appeared, the outcome of the tournament had already been decided…
In the eyes of most, there was no need to continue the competition. They could just give the championship crown to the Second Princess~~~
The level of this year’s All-Pet Beast Tournament had been raised to a level beyond their reach.
“…”
“…”
“Crack—”
However, in the next second, the sound of shattering stone echoed.
Under the viewers’ surprised gazes, amidst the swirling clouds and mist on the other side of the arena, the golden-haired girl reappeared.
After being hit by Returning Dust’s attack, which had almost reached the edge of the Dominating Cauldron Palace…Moon Rabbit Lian Xing had actually returned to the battlefield!?
At this moment, Lian Xing’s sleeves were torn, her white chest binder partially exposed, her buns undone, her golden hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, giving her a fragile yet beautiful appearance.
[Sorry, Master. I misjudged the opponent’s attack power. Next time, I’ll block it in time,] Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s apologetic voice echoed in her mind.
“It’s fine~~~” Lian Xing nodded casually.
Even she hadn’t expected the opponent to have a hidden Legend…
Actually, although Returning Dust’s attack had seemed unstoppable, Dreamflow Sunset Glow hadn’t even been on the field yet. Not only had it not used the Fluorescent combat skill, North Wind, it hadn’t even activated its Viral World, simply blocking the attack with its Throne-Level characteristic.
And after a few seconds of recovery, its automatic shield had regenerated. It wasn’t a big deal.
Now…
It was time to deal with this…
At this moment, under the overwhelming aura and the one-sided atmosphere, Lian Xing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked up at the magnificent white horse.
Probably, at this moment, no one believed that Lian Xing could win.
The moment Returning Dust appeared, even Tears Maiden’s aura had been suppressed…
This was a legendary being that had once changed the Pet Beast World.
Even the Seven Heavens, the Cycle of Calamity, and the Sovereign’s territory had been awed by its power.
However…
In the next second, under everyone’s incredulous gaze, the stars in the golden-haired girl’s eyes blazed with an unprecedented brightness, and a calm smile appeared on her face.
“A reincarnated Great Emperor…nothing special~~”
“Now…feel anger… Try to defy me… Because, whether you win or lose, you’ll never reach the heights of your past life again~~~”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As Lian Xing’s cryptic words echoed…
The world changed color, the earth trembled.
A deafening, circular shockwave, like an atomic bomb, erupted behind the golden-haired girl, a radiant golden aura descending upon the Dominating Cauldron Palace, its light so bright that it was almost blinding.
Under everyone’s gaze, amidst the swirling wind and dust, a golden elemental figure, a Star Wheel hovering behind it, slowly materialized above Moon Rabbit Lian Xing’s head.
This light was brighter than the stars, more radiant than the sun, a divine and elegant being.
And the moment it opened its eyes, a brilliant starlight shot into the sky, the clouds shattering, as if a king had descended, the entire venue falling silent.
At this moment, the auras of all living beings in the Dominating Cauldron Palace weakened visibly.
Awakened state, area-wide silence!!!
No one was spared.
All the participants’ Arcane Arts and combat skills were disabled…
And the Second Princess, seeing the strange, illusory star-shaped shackles on Returning Dust, feeling its combat skills and Arcane Arts disappearing, her eyes widened in shock.
The Legend Arcane Art, Starless Shackles!!!
At this moment, Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends, made its grand entrance…!!!
Star Sand versus Returning Dust.
The final battle of the All-Pet Beast Tournament had begun…!!!
