Chapter 180: Lian Xing’s Ancient Species from a Past Life!!!
—New World, Fallen Emperor Flood’s trajectory—
With a mighty stomp from the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, Flood, the Fallen Species that had terrorized the new world for millions of years, was reduced to a skeletal husk. Its massive frame remained, but devoid of flesh and blood, its aura dissipating.
How…how could a Fallen Species be injured to this extent? What level of power did this Ancient Species possess? For millions of kilometers, silence reigned. This scene defied all logic and understanding. Even the Moonwalker Mother, the Sanctuary Guardian, was stunned.
Under everyone’s horrified gaze, the white-haired rabbit woman stood atop Flood’s massive skeletal frame, the surrounding space vibrating from its power. It didn’t attack further, and Flood remained motionless, its life crystal hidden. No one dared to move a muscle, afraid of attracting its attention.
Then, after a while, Flood’s skeletal frame began to move, carrying the Ancient Species away from the new world, its speed, now unburdened by flesh, hundreds of times faster, the wind pressure from its movement alone creating devastation. The Moonwalker Mother’s attendants were pushed back, their expressions grim.
“Sanctuary Guardian, what do you make of this Ancient Species?”
“It defeated Flood instantly. Its level must be over ten thousand, right?”
“It seems our Moon Soul World is about to change…”
“Sanctuary Guardian!?” Receiving no response, they looked at each other, then realized the white deer woman in the wedding dress had vanished.
“Thud!” A heavy sound echoed behind the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, which turned casually. In its fragmented, moon-like eyes, a white-haired woman with icy antlers appeared. This time, the Moonlight Rabbit’s eyes clearly reflected her image. The Moonwalker Mother, her body wreathed in a dreamlike mist, stood on Flood’s skeletal frame, her expression serious.
“I am the Third Sanctuary Guardian, Moonwalker.”
“From which world do you come?”
“A Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species cannot be born without a catalyst. You must have entered from another world.”
“This is a serious intrusion, an act of war.”
“And…forcing a Fallen Species Emperor to shed its skin without provocation is a grave violation.”
However, before the Moonwalker Mother could finish, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit began walking towards her, its heavy steps creating shockwaves, the air cracking around it. The Moonwalker Mother chuckled self-deprecatingly, then, reaching into a nearby vortex of clouds, pulled out a five-meter long, ornate fan.
“I almost forgot, reasoning with an Ancient Species is pointless~~~”
The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit stopped before her, the two white-haired figures facing each other, sparks of energy flashing between them. But just as the Moonwalker Mother raised her fan…
A pet beast panel suddenly appeared, blocking her view. Seeing the shared panel, the Moonwalker Mother froze. After a long moment, it finally processed the information.
[Ancient Species]
[Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit]
“This…this…this is actually our world’s panel system…”
Seeing the Ancient Species’s level, the Moonwalker Mother almost choked. In this Pet Beast World, Fallen Species had the most inflated levels, due to their constant destruction over millions of years. Even mosquito meat was still meat, so the Four Fallen Emperors were all around level 20,000. Besides them, the Sanctuary Guardians and the Shining Duo were around level 16,000 or 17,000, considered the strongest.
But Ancient Species…
Although they didn’t have tiers, once their level surpassed ten thousand, their power increased exponentially.
The Moonwalker Mother, although shocked, out of courtesy, shared its own panel.
[Dominator · Elemental Species]
[LV17226]
[Supreme Azure Calamity (Moonwalker)]
“…”
“…”
Strictly speaking, “Dominator” wasn’t a tier above Emperor. The transition from Emperor to Dominator didn’t involve a change in form, but the acquisition of new abilities, their power enough to affect the world’s rules, but their species remained the same.
However, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit didn’t seem interested in the Moonwalker Mother’s panel and turned to walk towards Flood’s skeletal remains. Watching the elegant, white rabbit woman’s retreating figure, the Moonwalker Mother frowned.
It didn’t seem hostile.
And since it wasn’t an intruder from another world, there was no reason to stop it. Forcing a Fallen Species to shed its skin was a grey area. Whether it constituted a threat…was debatable. The main concern was that it might push the Fallen Species to the next stage, then, unable to defeat it, abandon this world, leaving the mess for others to clean up.
But it didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking Flood further…
Forget it…
It’ll be leaving her jurisdiction soon anyway…
As long as their battle doesn’t affect her world…
“Whoosh!”
Thinking of this, the Moonwalker Mother retreated, her figure dissolving into mist at the edge of Flood’s skeletal remains. And at the same time, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit, turned its head, glancing at the devastated Pet Beast World.
“I’ll be waiting for you…”
“At the place where Storm and Shining meet every 80 years…”
“We will defeat the apex of this world…” With these indifferent words, the white rabbit woman sat down on Flood’s skeletal frame, and the two figures, a Fallen Species Emperor and a Ten Thousand Level Ancient Species, flew away, disappearing into the distance.
Meanwhile…
— Inside the bubble world, the lower Pet Beast World —
After a glimpse of that familiar white figure, Lian Xing quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at it.
This world was full of monsters… First Flood, now Moon Calamity.
Facing beings of this level, ordinary creatures were like NPCs, destined to be killed and then respawned…
A few seconds later, the crimson sea covering the sky slowly dissipated. Under the incredulous gazes of the Emperors, the golden-haired girl, her hair loose, was falling from the sky. She tumbled gracefully through the air, then, just a few meters above the ground, was caught by Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s mist.
“Whew~~~”
“The crisis is averted. Finally…time to relax…” Lian Xing said, standing up slowly.
At the same time, Snow Flower emerged from Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Viral Space, looking at the golden-haired girl with a gentle expression.
With Flood gone, it was time for her to leave.
Calamity Sun, however, seemed unstable, as if frightened by the Ancient Species’s aura, its own aura fluctuating slightly. Actually, the reason Calamity Sun had suspected a connection between Lian Xing and Moon Calamity was because, after being captured by Moon Calamity, it hadn’t been forcefully used…
Or rather, Calamity Sun had offered its contract to Moon Calamity, but then, to its mixed feelings of humiliation, resentment, and excitement, Moon Calamity had simply ignored it.
But, eagerly offering itself to an Ancient Species and being rejected…it was too embarrassing to admit, so Calamity Sun hadn’t told the Seven Heavens about Moon Calamity’s behavior.
Back then, Moon Calamity had made a special trip to Baiyue Province, giving it to a real Low-Tier Moonlight Rabbit along the way, not entering Baiyue Province itself. And then, that Low-Tier Moonlight Rabbit had accidentally encountered the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, which was battling a Royal-Tier pet beast…
So, Calamity Sun had initially thought that Moon Calamity had been grooming Lian Xing, but after asking, it realized that Moon Calamity had simply randomly chosen a Moonlight Rabbit of the same species and given it away…
And after that, the ordinary Moonlight Rabbit, blown away, had disappeared…
Realizing it had been a coincidence, Calamity Sun was speechless. It hadn’t expected such a clichéd plot point to happen to it.
But…
Calamity Sun glanced at the pure golden, Shining Moonlight Rabbit with a relieved expression.
It had been a lucky coincidence~~~
This Moonlight Rabbit’s potential wasn’t necessarily lower than Moon Calamity’s~~~
Meanwhile, as Calamity Sun pondered, Lian Xing recalled all her pet beasts except for the Golden Leaf, which was still with Snow Flower. Then, she looked at the ice-cold snow woman in the burial shroud.
“Snow Flower, Golden Leaf…I don’t know when we’ll meet again…”
“Take this Star Order. If you encounter any danger in the new world, crush it and return here. No, perhaps I’ll be going to the new world too. Then you’ll have another Star Gate as an escape route~~~”
After receiving the Star Order, Snow Flower nodded, then gently hugged Lian Xing. There was no lust or passion in this embrace, just a friend’s reluctance to part.
Lian Xing accepted the hug calmly. After dealing with so many horny individuals, this pure friendship felt strange…
Snow Flower would probably reach Monarch-Tier soon. Then, with its unrestricted movement and the Golden Leaf, which also had Fallen characteristics, it would be a formidable force, perhaps even a match for an ordinary Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor.
And once the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon reached Monarch-Tier, unlocking another contract slot, she could finally retrieve Snow Flower.
In the next second, as Lian Xing’s mind wandered, Snow Flower gently cupped her face in its cold hands.
“…”
“…”
“Chu!!!”
Instantly, under the stunned gazes of Lian Xing’s pet beasts within her…
Before she could even react, the snow woman’s cold lips pressed against hers.
Time stopped.
Lian Xing’s expression froze.
Ten seconds later, the kiss ended, and Snow Flower released her.
“Whoosh—” The snow woman, with a lingering glance, turned and flew away, snowflakes swirling around its white figure, disappearing into the sky. At the same time, Tears Maiden, Jade Lady, Thunder Fly, the Second Princess, Silver Dragon, and the others, who had just arrived, stared at the scene in disbelief.
Even Moonlight Rabbit, bursting forth from Lian Xing’s body, stomped its feet and whined as it watched Snow Flower leave.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing touched her lips, her expression confused.
“Fri-friendship…?”
Fallen Heaven, Fallen Heaven!!!
