Chapter 69: The Frost Snow Woman’s Allegiance
As the planetary barrier shattered and dissipated, the awe-inspiring Saint-rank aura within Death Tribulation spread outwards, almost shattering the souls of any spirit beasts still lingering nearby.
The Ice Soul Cold Star’s Death Tribulation not only froze life but also completely isolated all auras within.
Now, with the barrier gone, the residual auras of four or five Saint-rank spirit beasts mingled in the air, a terrifying, spine-chilling sensation.
Everyone in the vicinity instantly realized that this was no mere skirmish between a few spirit beasts, but an unparalleled clash of Saint-ranks!!!
They wondered what level of spirit beasts had been drawn to this chaotic battle over the Frost Snow Woman…
As the dense, viscous purple aura slowly faded, the Frost Snow Woman floated high above in the clouds, her expression shifting, her emotions complex.
She had naturally overheard the conversation between the two spirit beasts below. If it weren’t for the Ice Soul Stone the blue-haired girl had inadvertently obtained, the Ice Soul Cold Star would still be dormant, unable to manifest in its complete form.
And that black-crowned Water Element, the supposed Variant Water Emperor, wanting to separate from the Ice Soul Cold Star but unable to awaken its true form without a compatible elixir, had called out to her for help.
That was the gist of the Ice Soul Cold Star’s message, interspersed with some pointless taunts which the Frost Snow Woman didn’t bother translating.
If they were to fight here with all their might, they would first destroy their master’s body and then continue their bickering in hell.
With the Ice Soul Cold Star’s return, the blue-haired girl’s curvaceous figure shrunk back to its underdeveloped form.
[Not one of us.]
The Frost Snow Woman drooped, a dejected expression on her face, as she drifted listlessly towards the horizon.
She had heard that a clan of Snow Women, led by the Snow Monarch, had once appeared in this Sea Region. That was why she had traveled across countless realms to reach this place.
But that had been a thousand years ago. The Snow Monarch’s residual aura had long since faded, leaving only a faint trace.
She had sensed the aura of her kind, her excitement overwhelming, only to find it was a fake…
In her excitement, she had even attacked a weak human Spirit Master…
A pang of guilt struck the Frost Snow Woman.
Frost Snow Women were generally gentle creatures, never attacking ordinary humans without provocation.
There were even silly, wish-fulfillment novels circulating in the markets about a Frost Snow Woman being moved by the love of a village girl, willingly forming a contract with her and helping her become a powerful Spirit King.
So, even after being beaten by the Ice Soul Cold Star, the Frost Snow Woman wouldn’t seek revenge against its master.
Moreover, a terrifying Flame Fox was lurking nearby. Without any of her kind here, it wasn’t worth fighting to the death.
“…”
“…”
As she was about to leave, the Frost Snow Woman suddenly stopped, as if realizing something, and looked down at the unconscious, blue-haired girl.
The Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, Weaver of the Sun, the Ice Soul Cold Star, and that mysterious, black-crowned Water Element.
This human female Spirit Master… perhaps she was favored by Saint-rank spirit beasts.
The Frost Snow Woman’s inherited memories contained information about such individuals. They were destined to become rulers, inexplicably attracting Saint-ranks.
And then, perhaps one in a hundred million of these chosen ones had the potential to give birth to a legendary-rank spirit beast… Did this woman possess such potential?
If she left now, it might be hundreds of years before she found her clan again. The hope was too faint.
Lost in thought, the Frost Snow Woman suddenly turned back and descended towards the center of the battlefield.
Whoosh~~~
Snowflakes fell, frost spread.
Free from the Ice Soul Cold Star’s Death Tribulation, the Frost Snow Woman felt a sense of relief, her aura flowing freely.
The three green figures, still playing dead on the ground, were once again frozen, then shattered into shimmering dust, scattered by the wind as their energy depleted.
The Wrath-ful Saint-ess!
The area was now clear, quiet and peaceful.
The Frost Snow Woman floated down to Gong Lianyue’s side, gently placing her pale hand on the girl’s flat chest, where her soul cores resided.
Thump!
Thump, thump!!
Feeling the girl’s steady heartbeat, the Frost Snow Woman gently channeled a stream of icy energy into her.
A few seconds later, the flowing ice encountered a barrier and was repelled.
So there was no room for her…
The Frost Snow Woman wasn’t disappointed. If the girl were a Samsara or Nether Traverse Stage Spirit Master, she might have to wait for a long time, perhaps even in vain.
But this girl was only at the Dawn and Dusk Stage. She would simply tidy herself up and wait for the day their paths crossed again.
Wait!?
Just as the Frost Snow Woman was about to leave, her icy eyes widened. She had noticed something incredible.
This blue-haired girl… possessed two soul cores…
Realizing this, the Frost Snow Woman’s expression turned strange, and she froze.
“Is anyone there?”
“Is anyone still alive?”
Ten minutes after the purple star vanished, a Spirit Master finally mustered the courage to enter the area.
A woman in a Sea Concubine Palace uniform and a green robe, two fish, one black, one white, painted on her cheeks, her expression somewhat gloomy.
Awakened by the shouts, the blue-haired girl rose from the ground with a splitting headache.
Her body felt incredibly heavy, the spirit energy exhaustion making even the air feel thick and viscous, her vision blurry and weak.
Wait, what about the Frost Snow Woman?!
Suddenly remembering the scene before she fainted, Gong Lianyue’s tired eyes widened, and she frantically looked around.
Where were the Frost Snow Woman, the Wrathful Saintess, and that Swallow God?
Confused and disoriented, Gong Lianyue suddenly looked down at her collar, a strange expression on her face.
Inside her collar, a shimmering, frosty white core radiated an incredibly powerful chill.
The Frost Snow Woman had left the Wind Valley, but she had left her most precious possession, her life core, in the hands of a stranger…
[A one in a hundred million chance to achieve legendary rank. Not a bad deal, right?]
