Chapter 139: The Four Guardians Emerge, The Sorrowful Saintess’s Desperate Situation
Swish!
In the center of the Yin Tomb battlefield, before anyone could react, a dark purple meteor, trailing a sonic boom, streaked across the sky and vanished.
The Windchaser Emperor and the Nether Bell Maiden stared blankly. Had the Sleepless Sparrow just abandoned them?
Below, the Blood Garden bloomed, tens of thousands of Blood Fox Phoenix Flowers swaying, a chilling sight.
The Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, a creature that had appeared only once in history, its aura of despair so profound it had scared the Sleepless Sparrow into fleeing without a fight.
In reality, with the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage and the Frost Snow Woman, a 2v3, they still had a chance if the Sleepless Sparrow stayed.
But now, with the Sleepless Sparrow fleeing, it was like a death flag in a horror movie. They would be picked off one by one.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
With a bang, the throne at the northern end of the Yin Tomb exploded, a cloud of dust and debris erupting.
Screams of surprise echoed as the massive form of the Sleepless Sparrow, its wings flapping, streaked across the sky, about to escape the Yin Tomb, when a chilling killing intent enveloped it.
From the ruins of the throne, a massive, silver-gray, liquid giant rose, its powerful arm extending for a kilometer, grabbing the Sleepless Sparrow’s wing.
The silver giant’s face was contorted in rage as it swung the massive bird around and threw it back towards the battlefield.
Boom!!!
The Sleepless Sparrow’s massive body crashed to the ground, the impact shaking the mountains, a deafening roar echoing.
A few seconds later, the Sleepless Sparrow, shaking its feathers, emerged, its head lowered submissively, afraid to move.
Ignoring the battered Sleepless Sparrow, almost everyone’s attention was now focused on the silver giant.
Its bald head reached the clouds, its mountainous muscles rippling, its liquid body seemingly melting and reforming.
Most terrifying was its face, a grotesque, demonic mask of rage.
Another terrifying Saint-rank spirit beast had appeared!
The last of the Wind Realm’s Four Guardians, finally awakening from its century-long slumber!
[Saint-rank Biological Combat Type – Six-Faced God]
“Strange, why is the Six-Faced God so large?”
“I heard it was about the size of a human a hundred years ago…”
Hearing the few scattered comments from the higher levels of the mountain, Gong Lianyue gulped nervously.
Combat type was a sub-category within the biological type evolution path, its overall combat power on par with offensive types, though their size was generally smaller.
Their bodies were built for close combat, possessing unique fighting techniques.
Similarly, the unusual type was exclusive to the elemental type evolution path. Both were rare classifications. The Tyrant Demon Seed she had encountered earlier was a combat type.
But the Six-Faced God, a combat type, why was it so massive?
As everyone wondered, the silver, liquid giant suddenly began to dissolve.
The massive form shrunk, the flowing liquid condensing, until only a small figure remained.
A woman, her height similar to a human’s, her alluring figure encased in a tight-fitting layer of liquid, her long silver hair whipping wildly around her.
It was impossible to tell if she was beautiful or not. Her face was a mask of rage, a grotesque and terrifying sight.
As her muscles tensed, the flowing liquid solidified, transforming into a hard, shimmering armor.
Tons of viscous liquid compressed, its density incredible, enough to crush mountains and rivers.
This was the Six-Faced God’s true form!
“I will accept my punishment when Master awakens!” the silver woman growled, her voice raspy.
“I know, I know~~”
The Sleepless Sparrow, gently stroking its damaged wings, muttered resentfully.
It had been terrified of the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, but the Six-Faced God’s arrival had calmed it.
No matter how strange or mysterious that creature was, it couldn’t possibly defeat the invincible Six-Faced God!
The tide had turned!
The blue-haired girl, shielded by the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, anxiously watched the four Saint-rank spirit beasts in the sky.
The Wind Realm’s Four Guardians had all assembled: the Windchaser Emperor, the Sleepless Sparrow, the Nether Bell Maiden, and the Six-Faced God!
And she only had the Frost Snow Woman and the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower. Even if she used the Dual Soul Pill to summon another, she had no Saint-rank combat power to match them.
And the little fox was just a fragile illusion. If they attacked, they were doomed…
Even racking her brains, Gong Lianyue couldn’t think of a way out. What should she do?!
The Sorrowful Saintess, trapped in a desperate situation!
The four Saint-rank auras clashed in the sky, the atmosphere in the Yin Tomb growing heavy and oppressive, many of the weaker Spirit Masters losing consciousness.
So many Saint-ranks present… even Saint-rank Spirit Masters felt the strain, let alone those who had come to simply watch the show.
The few hundred Spirit Masters still conscious had complex expressions, their thoughts racing.
Even the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, as mysterious as it was, couldn’t possibly defeat two or three powerful Saint-ranks at once, especially since it was controlled by a human Spirit Master, unable to unleash its full power.
Not to mention the Six-Faced God’s terrifying strength. Although newly awakened and only at the Dead Sea Stage, it had once been an invincible being of the Sun and Moon Realm. Its skill and experience alone could crush most Saint-rank spirit beasts.
The Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace… She alone had drawn out all four of the Wind Realm’s Saint-rank Guardians, requiring their combined strength to suppress her.
Such power… even the Wind Realm’s strongest, the Phoenix Immortal Saintess, might not be a match for her…
But this was likely her limit…
The Sorrowful Saintess’s reign of terror would end here. She couldn’t defeat the Four Guardians alone.
Plop!
Just then, a purple, crystalline, ice elemental figure materialized.
A low-rank Ice Spirit. It looked around in confusion, as if it had wandered onto the wrong set.
A low-rank spirit beast appearing amidst a Saint-rank standoff… a bizarre and comical sight.
Even Gong Lianyue was confused. She hadn’t summoned it. Why had the Ice Spirit appeared on its own?
“Even a low-rank? Is she performing magic tricks now?”
“Wait, three… three spirit beasts?”
“The Sorrowful Saintess has summoned three spirit beasts!!!”
Although it was just a low-rank, weak, and pitiful Ice Spirit, its appearance still caused a wave of shocked whispers.
The Nether Bell Maiden had mentioned that the Sorrowful Saintess had likely consumed a Dual Soul Pill.
But what about this third one?
The appearance of a third spirit beast was inexplicable!!!
The Ice Spirit’s sudden arrival stunned everyone.
Chapter 140: Gong Lianyue’s Four Saint-Ranks, Ultimate Trump Card Revealed!!!
Just as the six Saint-rank spirit beasts faced off, an Ice Spirit inexplicably appeared, like Cinderella crashing a royal ball, looking out of place and awkward.
The Ice Spirit’s appearance itself was insignificant. What was bizarre was that it was the Sorrowful Saintess’s third summoned spirit beast!
Initially, no one thought of the Dual Soul Body, suspecting instead that the Sorrowful Saintess had been concealing her Samsara Stage cultivation.
Upon reaching the Samsara Stage, a Spirit Master’s soul core evolved, allowing them to summon two spirit beasts simultaneously.
However, under the scrutiny of countless spirit energy probes, the truth was undeniable. Gong Lianyue was undoubtedly at the Dead Sea Stage. She could deceive her peers with small tricks, but she couldn’t fool the Nether Traverse Stage experts among the higher-ups.
A Dead Sea Stage Spirit Master, summoning a third spirit beast after consuming a Dual Soul Pill…
A Dual Soul Body!!!
This Sorrowful Saintess… she had a Dual Soul Body! No wonder no one had ever survived to report her spirit beasts’ true forms!
The seemingly weak Water Element and Ice Spirit would taunt and provoke the enemy, and the moment they retaliated, they would be instantly suppressed by a Saint-rank aura, leading to an easy counterattack.
That was how the Sorrowful Saintess’s low-rank spirit beasts had achieved such an impressive record.
No!
Just as everyone realized this, the Six-Faced God noticed something else.
The Dual Soul Body was still uncertain. More importantly… there was something wrong with this Ice Spirit!
The Six-Faced God stared at the Ice Spirit with its fierce, angry eyes for a long time, but the Ice Spirit didn’t even flinch.
This creature… was a hidden Saint-rank…!!!
Having once reached the Sun and Moon Realm, the Six-Faced God instantly recognized the truth.
A jolt of shock went through her. She looked at the blue-haired girl below with a newfound wariness.
Without any warning, the Sorrowful Saintess had subdued three Saint-ranks. If it hadn’t been for her own intervention, they would have all been defeated.
Three Saint-rank spirit beasts…
“Step aside. I’ll handle this.”
The Six-Faced God roared, a fanatical glint in its eyes.
Even with three Saint-rank spirit beasts, even with a Dual Soul Body, the Sorrowful Saintess would still lose.
Not because of anything else, but because it had once been a Sun and Moon Realm spirit beast. Its skill and experience far surpassed any Dead Sea Stage Saint-rank!
Hearing the Six-Faced God’s command, the other three Saint-ranks stepped back, seemingly confident in its power.
Combat-type spirit beasts were known for their love of battle. They preferred to fight alone, unafraid of any challenge.
Boom!!!!
The Six-Faced God’s spirit energy erupted, its body propelled forward by a powerful burst of energy, like a rocket launching, its bones and muscles contracting.
A silver aura enveloped its body, its hair streaming upwards.
Its powerful muscles tensed, hardening, shimmering like diamonds.
Swish!
The next second, the Six-Faced God vanished.
Time seemed to freeze, everyone’s thoughts suspended.
The silver figure, a blur of motion, effortlessly bypassed the unresponsive Frost Snow Woman and the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, appearing before the purple, crystalline Ice Spirit.
A delayed sonic boom echoed, a terrifying hurricane sweeping through, almost lifting the entire mountain range.
The Frost Snow Woman’s hair and robe billowed, obscuring her vision, and the Blood Garden Phoenix Stage trembled, its illusory form flickering.
The difference in power was too vast…
At the center of the blast, the Six-Faced God, its face still a mask of rage, extended a finger towards the Ice Spirit and flicked it lightly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A deafening explosion, like a nuclear blast, echoed through the mountains.
If it had been a true low-rank spirit beast, it would have been obliterated.
The Six-Faced God had targeted the Ice Spirit, intending to force it to reveal its true form with a single blow.
However, something unexpected happened…
Despite the terrifying sonic boom, there was no shockwave, no dust, no debris.
A shimmering, transparent purple wall had appeared before the Ice Spirit, blocking the attack.
No, not a wall, but a star formed from swirling purple clouds.
And now, the Six-Faced God’s entire body was enveloped by this purple star. That was why there had been no shockwave!
The beautiful, mysterious purple star rotated gently around the Ice Spirit, like a protective bubble.
[Battle Technique – Death Tribulation]
The Six-Faced God’s attack… blocked by a low-rank Ice Spirit…?
So close, yet untouchable.
Before anyone could react, another bizarre aura descended.
A small, white rabbit with floppy ears jumped from Gong Lianyue’s collar. Before it even landed, it began to transform, like a magical girl.
In a flash of holy light and dazzling special effects, a massive, muscular, humanoid rabbit with a thousand abs materialized, its mouth spewing a bloody mist.
A wave of chilling terror washed over everyone present.
The Tyrant Demon Seed, a Saint-rank spirit beast! What was it doing here?!
It was here…
For revenge!
The muscular rabbit pretended to look around in confusion, then, without warning, kicked the purple star.
If it weren’t for the Six-Faced God’s interference, it wouldn’t have been forced to fight her to the point of shattering mountains and rivers, earning the Wind Realm Overlord’s wrath and being sentenced to guard the Wind Valley.
Such a petty sneak attack wouldn’t faze the Six-Faced God. With a furious expression, it punched the inside of the purple star.
Bang!
The Six-Faced God’s full-powered punch struck the inner wall of the purple star, the water ripples swirling, but the barrier remained unmoved, impenetrable.
Meanwhile, the Tyrant Demon Seed’s leg, phasing through Death Tribulation as if it were water, kicked the Six-Faced God in the gut.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
An explosion, the earth shattering.
The silver figure was sent flying backwards, crashing into the mountains several kilometers away, creating a massive crater.
The nearby Shadowcandle Temple delegation was almost caught in the blast, scrambling for safety.
As the dust settled, everyone stared in disbelief at the Sorrowful Saintess.
The Ice Spirit had transformed, its body smaller, more graceful, more alluring.
The solid ice crystals had become flowing nebulae, its surface shimmering with beautiful, mysterious star patterns, a breathtakingly beautiful elemental form.
Ah, this… this was—the Ice Soul Cold Star, the strongest shield among Saint-rank elemental spirit beasts, the uncrowned empress of ice!!!
At this moment, a dazzling lineup of SSR Saint-rank spirit beasts stood beside Gong Lianyue:
The Blood Garden Phoenix Stage, the Frost Snow Woman, the Tyrant Demon Seed, and the Ice Soul Cold Star.
Who would have thought the Sorrowful Saintess possessed four Saint-rank spirit beasts?!
Eight Saint-ranks facing off, a scene most Spirit Masters would never witness in their lifetime. This sight… shook the Wind Realm to its core.
The tables had turned again. It was now a 4v4. No…
A 1v4!!!
Single-handedly suppressing the Wind Realm’s Four Guardians… what was going through the mind of that expressionless, blue-haired girl?
