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!!!”
