Chapter 32: Variant Water Emperor?!?!?!
Although spirit beasts were generally classified into low, mid, and high ranks to distinguish their species level and talent, the actual difference in individual combat power wasn’t that significant.
Like the difference between a gifted prodigy and an ordinary person, no matter how powerful, they still belonged to the realm of mortals.
The term “Saint-rank,” however, represented transcendence, holiness, and purity, leaving the mundane world and entering the sacred realm.
Wild Saint-rank spirit beasts almost never formed contracts with Spirit Masters. They weren’t swayed by any conditions, nor did they care about threats or inducements.
They were born at the top of the food chain, possessing incredibly long lifespans. Simply eating, playing, sleeping, and reproducing allowed them to naturally evolve to their limits. They were demigods, beyond the reach of a Spirit Master’s power. There was no need for them to lower themselves to coexist with humans.
Giving up a thousand-year lifespan to live and die with a human was practically suicide.
Therefore, only Saint-rank Spirit Masters could typically contract wild Saint-rank spirit beasts, using their own Saint-rank companion spirit beasts, awakened at birth, to completely subdue their target in a fair fight, rather than bullying a young Saint-rank spirit beast with a higher level.
In ancient times, Spirit Masters with Saint-rank spirit beasts were even called “Children of God,” revered and worshipped by various factions.
However, after extensive research, people discovered that Saint-rank Spirit Masters, who received such powerful beings as companion gifts, usually had significant flaws in their personalities or… inclinations.
In other words, they weren’t normal. They were more like half-human, half-beast—natural monsters!
For example…
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace, with her innate teardrop makeup and eyes, her expressionless face, and her Saint-rank spirit beast suspected to be a Variant Water Emperor.
Luo Kuxin, the Wrathful Saintess of the Ice Shield Palace, who enjoyed being bound and tortured, her cultivation speed increasing with the intensity of the humiliation, her Saint-rank spirit beast suspected to be the Misty Heart Lotus.
Xue Beihan, the Desireless Saintess of the Winter Floating Sky, blind, mute, deaf, and lame, yet able to clearly perceive the world, her Saint-rank spirit beast confirmed to be the Beauty in a Bottle.
–Fallen Whale Island
Boom!!!
A terrifying, silent shockwave, an unparalleled holy aura filling the sky.
Although no sound reached their ears, a deafening roar echoed directly in their minds, the feeling of weightlessness creating the illusion that the island was sinking.
The world turned upside down, the sea flowing in reverse, everything shattering and then, in the next second, returning to a calm, clear sky.
“Ugh—”
Unable to withstand the strange pressure, several Spirit Masters with low-rank spirit beasts collapsed to the ground, retching violently.
Even the terrifying Eight-Headed Mist Crow, its eight heads thrashing and shrieking.
“Caw, caw, caw!!!!!”
Jolted by her frantic spirit beast, the silver-haired, crow-masked woman’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the erupting pink mist.
Not just those nearby, but almost every living creature on the island instinctively turned towards the source.
The pink mist spread rapidly, overwhelming the black aura of the Eight-Headed Mist Crow, dispelling the instinctive fear.
Replacing it was a sense of awe and reverence, as if compelled to worship a deity, a holy aura purifying their minds.
“Swish~”
“Swish, swish, swish~~~~”
The fox tail-shaped pink mist unfurled like a blooming flower, revealing the mystical being within.
A single glance was unforgettable. It was difficult to describe such a being, so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.
Hundreds of soft fox tails intertwined like tentacles, forming three massive pink flower buds that surrounded the graceful, pink body of the fox-like creature, resembling a flower fairy fox.
Even more astonishing were the two ice-blue butterfly wings, formed from shimmering water, vibrating rapidly behind the fox, creating a beautiful watery mural in the air.
Boom!!!
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The next second, like a celebratory salute for the birth of a fox princess, fireworks exploded, the sound echoing through the air.
The three pink flower buds bloomed, erupting in hundreds of jets of water, like a magnificent reverse waterfall, soaring into the sky and piercing the oppressive dark clouds.
A celebratory water spray~~
This bizarre combination of flower and water, fox and butterfly, a perfect being that had shed all unnecessary physical structures in its evolution, beauty as its ultimate goal.
Saint-rank—
The Autumn Water Hundred Flower Fox Princess!!!
Ranked ninth among the Fox Sovereigns in the spirit beast compendium, two places below the Seven-Star Titan Moonquake Fox she had previously transformed into.
Its size was only forty to fifty meters, like a small child compared to the terrifying Eight-Headed Mist Crow.
But the grotesque crow shrieked and retreated frantically, clearly sensing the Saint-rank hostility…
“How is this possible? The Sea Concubine Palace hid another Saint-rank spirit beast? Who is that woman!”
“No!”
“No, no, no, that’s not right!!”
“This is…”
“The Variant Water Emperor!!!!!”
“That woman is the Sorrowful Saintess! She’s on Fallen Whale Island!!”
The crow-masked woman covered her face in terror, staring in horror at the expressionless blue-haired girl, surrounded by the Autumn Water Hundred Flower Fox.
What Saint-rank fox? If such a creature existed, how could it have been hidden until now? The moment it was awakened, the entire Sea Region would have known.
Overwhelmed by the Saint-rank aura, the fear field covering the island instantly vanished.
“That… was that caused by the Variant Water Emperor?”
Meanwhile, at the edge of the island, more than ten kilometers away, a passing white-haired woman stopped abruptly, gazing in astonishment at the towering wave that pierced the sky.
Not just Bai He, but almost every member of the Sea Concubine Palace realized it.
That woman… was on Fallen Whale Island.
Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess of the Sea Concubine Palace, and her invincible Variant Water Emperor!!!
