Chapter 137: The Sorrowful Saintess’s Second Saint-Rank Spirit Beast
In just a few moments, the gloomy, hazy mountains were covered in a blanket of snow and frost.
A Snow Woman in a pale shroud floated in the air, her slender form, her beautiful yet frail appearance, radiating an endless chill.
The Frost Snow Woman, a Saint-rank spirit beast!
Her icy aura spread outwards, causing the Windchaser Emperor’s face to darken.
Humiliated by a high-rank spirit beast in public, it wanted to retaliate, yet it hesitated, intimidated by the Frost Snow Woman’s terrifying aura. It was caught between a rock and a hard place.
The Nether Bell Maiden, presiding over the duels, was also unsure of how to proceed.
Technically, challenging one of the Wind Realm’s Four Guardians wasn’t against the rules.
It was just that no one had ever done it before…
It was the Windchaser Emperor who had broken the rules by interfering and rescuing the Gloomy Saintess. It would likely be punished later.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, the Windchaser Emperor suddenly heard a strange sound, seemingly coming from the blue-haired girl.
The garbled voice was difficult to understand, but after repeated calls, it finally understood.
“Idiot.”
“Stupid.”
“Moron.”
A small, white rabbit with floppy ears, hidden inside Gong Lianyue’s collar, was punching the air and hurling insults at the wind giant.
Due to the unique nature of spirit energy sound transmission, only the Windchaser Emperor could hear it.
The wind giant’s eyes glowed blood red, the swirling wind around it growing hotter, its rage building.
But to everyone else, it simply seemed like the Windchaser Emperor was angry at being humiliated by the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion. How petty!
The silver armor around the Windchaser Emperor swelled, the swirling wind growing hotter, as if charging up for an ultimate attack.
[Battle Technique – Frozen Domain]
Swish!
Something unexpected happened. The Frost Snow Woman simply glared, and the ferocious wind giant deflated, its aura and charged attack dissipating.
The Gloomy Saintess had almost been killed by this sudden interruption. Anyone caught off guard like this would be in grave danger.
Seizing the opportunity, the Frost Snow Woman’s hands began to move.
The threads wrapped around her slender fingers spun and intertwined, merging into a single, thick strand.
Then, the bundled thread contracted and tightened, like a spring, coiling around her fingertip.
Fully charged, the Frost Snow Woman pointed at the wind giant in the sky, a terrifying aura radiating from her, icy blue blood dripping from her finger.
[Soul Embroidery: Sea and Sky as One]
Boom!!!
The next second, a burst of air pressure tore through the sky for several kilometers, the blinding white arc almost blinding everyone.
There was no time to react. The Windchaser Emperor hadn’t even realized what was happening.
However, at the moment of release, the Frost Snow Woman’s body trembled slightly, causing the thread to deviate.
The resulting shockwave, like a laser beam, grazed the Windchaser Emperor’s soul core, narrowly missing a direct hit.
With a bang, a part of its core shattered, and the Windchaser Emperor’s armor exploded, dissipating like dust.
As the wind subsided, a small, graceful, female, wind elemental figure was revealed, its body covered in black blood, its expression filled with shock.
So this was the Windchaser Emperor’s true form!
It had almost been instantly killed by the Frost Snow Woman…?
First, sealing its battle technique with Frozen Domain, then a direct attack on its core. An unavoidable first-strike kill!
It was a shame the attack had missed slightly. Otherwise, the Windchaser Emperor would be dead.
As everyone stared in shock, the Frost Snow Woman moved again.
She swung her threads wildly, like whips, cracking through the air, swirling around her.
Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~
—Bang!
The heavy threads, after swirling in the air, suddenly extended for hundreds of meters, smashing into the throne at the southern end of the Yin Tomb.
The massive, black throne shattered, and an enraged roar erupted.
“Frost Snow Woman, don’t push it! Enough is enough! Let’s talk this out! There’s no need for violence!”
As the roar echoed, a dark shadow enveloped the sky.
A massive bird, its wings spanning a kilometer, blotting out the sky, rose from the shattered throne.
Its body shimmered with a beautiful purple light, its plumage vibrant and colorful, a magnificent and powerful creature.
The Sleepless Sparrow, one of the Four Guardians!
The Frost Snow Woman’s attack had indeed missed due to its aura. It had intended to apologize and smooth things over.
But it hadn’t expected the supposedly gentle Frost Snow Woman to be so impulsive and violent, shattering its throne with a single lash of its threads.
But if it hadn’t intervened, the Windchaser Emperor would be dead!
Although the Four Guardians weren’t close, they couldn’t just stand by and watch one of their own die during the Overlord’s birthday celebration. That would be disastrous!
Both the attacker and they, the guardians, could incur the legendary being’s wrath.
This Frost Snow Woman seemed to be influenced by her Spirit Master’s emotions. It had to calm them down.
The Sleepless Sparrow hovered in the sky, observing the blue-haired girl’s furious expression.
However, hearing the giant bird’s cry and seeing its menacing gaze, Gong Lianyue’s heart tightened.
Although she couldn’t understand the common spirit beast language in her current state, she could sense its powerful, hostile aura. It was clearly a challenge.
They had multiple Saint-ranks, while she only had the Frost Snow Woman. It seemed she had to go all out…
Bang!
The next second, the lid of the ice coffin beside the Frost Snow Woman was blown off, a terrifying aura emanating from within.
Like a concentrated mass of resentment and malice, viscous blood flowed out, forming a gruesome river.
Enhanced by the Ice Coffin, the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower’s aura had become even more terrifying.
Sensing this despairing aura, the Sleepless Sparrow’s massive wings stiffened, and the Nether Bell Maiden’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Was this… another Saint-rank?!
The Sorrowful Saintess possessed two Saint-rank spirit beasts!!!
Chapter 138: The Little Fox’s Super Evolution!!!
Bang!
As if sensing the Sleepless Sparrow’s powerful spirit energy, the lid of the Ice Coffin beside the Frost Snow Woman was blown off, as if kicked away.
A torrent of viscous blood, like a concentrated mass of resentment and malice, flowed out, forming a gruesome river.
The chilling aura, piercing to the bone, made many Spirit Masters recoil in terror, trying to distance themselves from the battlefield.
Even Gong Lianyue felt a tingling in her scalp as she watched the Ice Coffin, a sense of foreboding washing over her.
Just what kind of creature had the little fox become? Such a terrifying aura, unlike anything she had ever sensed before!
Panic filled the arena, except for one person.
The green-haired maid, lying on the ground, her eyes filled with hearts, Luo Kuxin, was writhing ecstatically, drool dripping from her mouth, forming a small puddle, soaking her clothes.
And at this crucial moment, no one noticed her strange behavior…
Even Luo Kuxin herself, if not for the numerous onlookers, would have jumped into the river of blood to alleviate her… symptoms.
Although the Wrathful Saintess’s clones shared her consciousness, they couldn’t control the physical and physiological reactions of the Misty Heart Lotus’s body.
Finally, as the Sleepless Sparrow’s eyes widened in horror, a massive, blood-red fox tail emerged from the coffin.
Swish~
The thick, soft tail swirled, coiling around the area for several kilometers, a river of blood flowing within its grasp, a gruesome and unsettling sight.
Then, the sea of blood solidified, and thousands of pink flowers bloomed, swaying gently in the wind.
A vibrant garden of blossoms, a riot of color.
It looked more like a flower garden than a spirit beast.
However, what truly terrified the Sleepless Sparrow wasn’t the flowers themselves, but the unfathomable despair lurking beneath the sea of blood.
The dense spirit energy within the sea of blood seemed endless, fueling the flowers’ growth, their size increasing rapidly, reaching the proportions of giant, otherworldly plants.
Each flower was four to five meters tall, and as they grew, the blood-soaked garden, encircled by the fox tail, expanded, almost engulfing the entire valley, its size exceeding even the Sleepless Sparrow in the sky.
And then, pulled upwards by the countless flowers, the true form hidden within the sea of blood was finally revealed.
Connected to the tip of the massive fox tail, a tiny crimson fox, no larger than a human hand, slept peacefully within the sea of blood, a stark and shocking contrast.
A tail that could shake the heavens, a body as small as a speck of dust.
“Impossible!”
Gong Lianyue’s teardrop eyes narrowed as she stared at the massive sea of blood and flowers in disbelief.
Such a bizarre creature didn’t exist in either the Sea Region or the Wind Realm, rarely even mentioned in legends.
But it was recorded in the complete Spirit Beast Compendium.
A dual-type, hybrid spirit beast, its plant-type genes dominant, with only a trace of fox bloodline, appearing only once in history, now extinct.
[Saint-rank – Blood Garden Phoenix Stage!!!]
The Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, like the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, was unique, appearing only once in tens of thousands of years.
The little fox could even transform into an extinct species?!
And it had perfectly replicated this creature, despite it only having a trace of fox genes!
Even more shocking, this was a predominantly plant-type spirit beast, and the little fox’s bloodline was also mostly plant-based.
This was the first time she had seen the little fox transform into a plant, although it did have some fox blood.
Transforming into a form closer to its dominant bloodline… could it be that its power would be drastically different from its fox transformations…?!
“It’s the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage! We should retreat! No one can defeat this thing!” The Windchaser Emperor quickly backed away.
“Why can the Sorrowful Saintess summon two spirit beasts?!” The Sleepless Sparrow’s voice trembled, its magnificent wings shaking.
“I saw her swallow a pill earlier. It must have been a Dual Soul Pill,” the Nether Bell Maiden said, her face even paler under the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage’s terrifying aura.
“A Dual Soul Pill? Where did she get that…? The Soul Prison Trial!!!”
The Sleepless Sparrow answered its own question, then its eyes widened in shock.
The Sorrowful Saintess… how terrifying.
No wonder she had been able to subdue the Frost Snow Woman. Her companion spirit beast was a legendary Saint-rank, and she was a Soul Prison Trial participant.
The Blood Garden Phoenix Stage had appeared suddenly, while its thousands of siblings, born at the same time, were all ordinary, low-rank Blood Fox Phoenix Flowers.
In other words, the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage was simply a mutated Blood Fox Phoenix Flower.
The probability of such a mutation was like two humans naturally conceiving a rabbit—practically impossible.
Even if it happened once, it shouldn’t be repeatable.
And yet, here it was, the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage reappearing, defying all logic!
Was it a fox, or a flower? Who could tell?~
A massive fox tail forming a garden, a sea of blood filled with countless Blood Fox Phoenix Flowers, its spirit energy seemingly endless, like a vision of hell.
“But… controlled by a human Spirit Master, it should have its limits…”
The Sleepless Sparrow narrowed its eyes, glancing at the Frost Snow Woman, its gaze settling on the small, crimson fox at the heart of the sea of blood, surrounded by flowers.
That must be the core of the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage. If they could destroy that, they could stop it.
“I’ll attack! Cover me!!”
The Sleepless Sparrow flapped its massive wings, creating a powerful gust of wind, about to dive into the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage.
However, at that moment, the small, crimson fox slowly raised its head, its beautiful red eyes gazing at the three Saint-rank guardians in the sky.
The Sleepless Sparrow froze, a chilling dread running down its spine, a sense of despair pulling it into the abyss.
Swish!
The next second, the Sleepless Sparrow vanished, while the Nether Bell Maiden and the Windchaser Emperor remained.
Hearing a distant sonic boom, they turned to see a black meteor streaking across the sky, disappearing into the distance.
The Sleepless Sparrow, fleeing without a fight!
“…”
“…”
