Free Web NovelThe moment Mingxi's Origin of Life and Destruction purified and transformed the last trace of pollution in her Spiritual Sea, a surge of pure, powerful, and orderly new energy, like a breached stellar river, roared into her now spiritualized Pet Space!
This was not a simple energy replenishment, but a world-shaking elevation!
The originally hazy gray space, under the scouring of this torrent, emitted a strained hum.
"Crack—!"
The gray space peeled away like a shattered eggshell, like parched earth cracking into bottomless ravines.
The entire space was undergoing a complete destruction!
But at this moment, everyone knew that the end of destruction was new life!
"Ninth Awakening! Mingxi, she has undergone her ninth Awakening!"
"Damn it!"
The expletive, like a large plant, exploded in the already chaotic venue.
"I used to hear that some people awakened during the Starsea Cup competition, and I always thought it was quite ridiculous. Pet evolution was understandable, as strong stimulation during battle could lead to a certain chance of evolution even if the conditions weren't fully met.
But what about Beast Tamers awakening?
What else can Beast Tamers do besides commanding their pets to fight? Could it be that pets' fierce, arduous, and bloody battles can optimize their physique and stimulate their brain regions?
Isn't that absurd?
I never thought, I never thought, it's just that I haven't seen enough of the world! Is it really possible for someone to awaken during a competition?!"
"Ming Shen is awesome! I knew why she suddenly abandoned her command irresponsibly, leaving Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower to 'fight alone.' It turns out she sensed the premonition of an Awakening!"
"Damn it, she's only 16 years old! And she's already undergone her ninth Awakening? Is this reasonable? Is it scientific? Is it proper? Is it fair?!"
"She is the recognized number one genius of the Alliance. Doesn't this just show the value of that title? In the future, whoever wants to claim this title, first awaken nine times before they are 17."
"Are you a devil?"
"Alas! Having completed nine Awakenings at the age of 16, what joy will she have in the next few hundred years? No pursuit, no future, a future that can be seen at a glance... This is too tragic!"
Just as everyone found this person's style peculiar, they heard him continue:
"So, God, please spare that poor girl. I am willing to endure this pain, torment, and bleakness in her stead!"
Good heavens!
His abacus beads were practically bouncing off God's face.
"You're quite ugly, but you dream beautifully!"
"Heh heh, in the next few hundred years, can't she pursue her tenth, eleventh, twelfth Awakenings? After all, her transcendent Awakening resulted in a twelve-sided Pet Space!"
"Wow, brother, with that reminder, my hairs are standing even straighter."
"Hey, today's ticket was truly worth it! I feel like I've seen all the grand spectacles I could see in my lifetime, all in one day! Thank you, Starsea Cup, thank you for this great and magical day!"
"+1"
"Thanks likewise!"
"..."
While the audience was in various emotional states of 'excitement,' on the command platform, the Pet Space in front of Mingxi had completely shattered, and a gray mist permeated the air.
"Buzz—!"
From the depths of the mist, boundless, dazzling silver radiance began to emerge.
This silver glow was not as cold as moonlight, nor as rigid as metal.
It was warm, profound, full of life's vitality and spiritual texture, like melted stars, or flowing mercury.
Wherever the silver glow passed, the gray mist was swallowed, transforming into an boundless, slowly undulating sea of silver light, with countless brighter, more stable points of light floating within it.
It was countless star rivers.
The star rivers began to intertwine, encircle, and combine to form a brand new Pet Space.
It was still a twelve-sided spherical shape, only this one was one size larger than the previous large one, and compared to other Beast Tamers, it was approximately twice their size.
This was not entirely the credit of the Origin of Life and Destruction.
There was also the contribution of the Silver Moss Flowers harvested from Wangyue Lake on Green Field Star.
The entire Pet Space completely shed its cool gray tone, transforming into a glorious silver world.
Nine of the twelve planes were already fully lit, with six of them flickering with the light and shadow of Lan Yue's six pets.
Why were Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower not there?
They were currently fighting for their lives.
And as the Pet Space reconstruction was completed, all the silver radiance converged towards the very center of the space.
The immense energy formed a silver vortex rotating counter-clockwise. freewebnovёl.ƈom
At the center of the vortex, a point of extreme, indescribably sharp and brilliant light was being nurtured.
"The Soul Key is about to awaken!"
Everyone was excited, their eyes fixed.
No one even paid attention to the increasingly fierce battle on the arena.
Gradually, the vortex subsided.
A long sword floated in the exact center of the Pet Space.
Its material was neither metal nor jade, but more like it was entirely composed of solidified silver radiance, with a warm and restrained glow flowing throughout its body.
The blade was long and straight, and the edge was so sharp it gleamed with a cold light.
Its hilt was not of traditional form, but was composed of countless tiny, constantly appearing and disappearing silver patterns, like star rings encircling a star, imbued with the power of rules.
The moment it appeared, the entire Pet Space emitted a joyous hum.
All the energy and all the pets within the space could establish a connection with this Key.
"Buzz buzz..."
The Sword Key vibrated gently, emitting a clear, dragon-like sword cry.
This sword cry was not a sound, but a declaration on a soul level, proclaiming its birth!
The moment the Sword Key was born, Mingxi's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
In the depths of her eyes, the phantom of the newly formed silver Pet Space and the Sword Key flashed and disappeared.
A far vaster, deeper, and undeniably majestic aura, emanating from her as its center, spread outwards.
It was as if a god who had slept for eons had awakened!
"Hiss—"
While many still couldn't comprehend the Sword Key, and were still bewildered and dazed by the appearance of this unique and mysterious existence, they were startled by the pressure she released in that instant, causing goosebumps to erupt all over their bodies.
The sound of gasps drowned out other noises.
"What?!"
"This is... Transcendent pressure?!"
"I want to know if other Beast Tamers' ninth Awakening is like this? It's terrifying, I felt like I saw my great-grandmother in that instant!"
"Good heavens! I actually felt the powerful pressure belonging to a Transcendent creature on a human, and the problem is there's still a protective barrier?! Wonderful?"
"This world is increasingly treating us as outsiders."
Mingxi, at this moment, was not aware of her 'abnormality.' She glanced at the Soul Key shining brightly within her Pet Space.
"Good, it's still a Sword Key." Seeing the Sword Key born, Mingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no other way; the short-lived one could only take the fast track now.
Putting away her Pet Space, Mingxi's eyes, which held the rotation of life and destruction and shimmered with silver starlight, refocused on the arena.
Just as pet evolution can nourish Beast Tamers, a Beast Tamer's Awakening can naturally irrigate and nourish pets.
Coupled with the replenishment from the Origin of Life and Destruction, although still at a disadvantage, Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower's situation was not too bad.
Pure energy continuously replenished their depletion.
Maintaining their stamina and energy consumption.
"Roar—!"
Feeling the increasingly solid bond with his Beast Tamer, Golden Yuanbao let out a clear, sharp cry.
The deep, bone-visible wounds on his body were wriggling and healing at a visible speed!
The weakness brought by burning blood was swept away, replaced by a deeper, more restrained, yet seemingly world-shaking power!
"You've worked hard," Mingxi's voice was calm and powerful. "Now, it's our turn to counterattack."
She did not dwell on her ninth Awakening.
She quickly observed the situation on the arena, judged the situation of both sides, and issued counter-orders immediately.
Her gaze was like lightning, "Golden Yuanbao, Torture Instruments, bind Os Weng Ruifu."
"Little Silver Flower, Space Compression, Silent Chains."
As the command was given, thunder responded.
Golden Yuanbao once again activated Killing Hell, and the boiling blood color transformed into countless blood-red torture instruments covered with spikes and wrapped with chains, entangling Os Weng Ruifu from all directions as if they had a life of their own.
The torture instruments of 【Edict: Killing Hell】 not only provided physical restraint but also directly scorched the soul.
Even Os Weng Ruifu, who was also Saint-level, could not break free.
Little Silver Flower spread her light wings, and space ripples and Silent Chains launched one after another.
The space around Qing Fuyou was first compressed layer by layer, and it was also severely disturbed.
And the Silent Chains directly wrapped around it, attempting to silence its time and its energy.
However, how could a God Rank existence be easily dealt with?
Before the Silent Chains could fully entangle it, Qing Fuyou's compound eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
God Rank skill, Time Fault!
The flow of time around its body instantly became chaotic, forming countless tiny time faults.
Little Silver Flower's Space Compression and Silent Chains, upon touching these faults, had their power dispersed and deflected layer by layer, like a punch hitting cotton. Although not completely ineffective, their effect was greatly diminished.
It broke free from the restraints, and the light band on its tail suddenly lit up.
Mingxi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Limitless Exile."
Undoubtedly, what Qing Fuyou released was another God Rank skill.
Epoch Light Shuttle.
A light shuttle, condensed from fragments of the river of time, ignored spatial distance and bypassed Little Silver Flower to attack Golden Yuanbao.
This strike contained terrifying power that could cause decay and bring an end to an era.
If Golden Yuanbao hadn't initiated Limitless Exile in time, he would have likely been finished!
Mingxi's brows furrowed, "No, this Qing Fuyou is very unusual. Even if it's currently God Rank, it's only a specialized evolution. How can it use so many God Rank skills so proficiently? Unless..."
A newly awakened pet, even Black Pearl, who was particularly sensitive to her own perceptions, would find it difficult to clearly perceive which skills she had awakened immediately after evolution, and then use them proficiently.
Mingxi / Guangguang said in unison: "This is not its first specialized evolution to God Rank!"
The human and the intelligent butler exchanged a telepathic glance across the boundaries of reality and the Time Realm.
Mingxi glanced at the opposing command platform; Xinglan Bei Yi had not awakened due to the fierce battle on the arena, nor due to her ninth Awakening.
He seemed to be in a deep, sweet sleep.
From his aura, no abnormality could be detected.
Mingxi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and doubt in her heart, and sensed the current condition of Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower.
She guided the battle process.
Waiting for the opportune moment.
Then—
"Golden Yuanbao, Primordial Taboo."
"Roar!"
Golden Yuanbao was already prepared. As Mingxi's voice fell, the energy around his body had already completed its transformation, and lightning began to be released from his magic horn to all eighteen tail chains.
But these subtle lightning bolts ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) were not golden lightning, not purple lightning, not dark lightning, and certainly not white lightning.
They were Void Lightning.
Primordial Taboo.
A doppelganger of the Cosmic Thunder Source.
It was also one of the God Rank skills Golden Yuanbao awakened after evolving to Venerable-level.
As a God Rank skill, bearing the name 'Primordial,' this skill was undoubtedly heaven-defying, but using it had a rather difficult prerequisite—it required using all of its lightning-type skills within a specific timeframe.
Golden Yuanbao possessed quite a few lightning-type skills, some of which had side effects or consumed a great deal of energy.
Therefore, completing this prerequisite in a short time was not easy.
The main reason was that Golden Yuanbao had just evolved to Venerable-level. Even if his energy reserves could withstand a round of consumption from all lightning-type skills, he would be completely drained after using Primordial Taboo.
This was also one of the reasons why Mingxi had Little Silver Flower cooperate with Golden Yuanbao.
Besides Angel's Kiss being able to combine with Fallen Sky to buff themselves, Little Silver Flower's auxiliary endurance was the strongest among all pets.
With Little Silver Flower's Holy Radiance Prayer and Sunbathing as support, Golden Yuanbao had a complete opportunity to indulge once, as a final trump card.
However, the ultimate move that previously had to be used with restraint, due to the secondary release of the Origin of Life and Destruction and Mingxi's ninth Awakening, Golden Yuanbao's consumed energy was fully replenished.
Only the prerequisite needed to be completed.
So, why not use it now?
"Sizzle sizzle..."
Void lightning flowed through space.
Invisible.
Shadowless.
It didn't even have an aura.
But that extreme sense of suppression made Qing Fuyou and Os Weng Ruifu on the arena feel as if they were in a thunder domain, where their eyes saw no lightning, yet everything was lightning!
A chilling silence enveloped the entire arena.
"Roar—!"
After a long cry from Golden Yuanbao.
Primordial Taboo completely erupted.
It was the background left after space was erased, the absolute stillness when time stopped, the final silhouette before all things returned to the void.
It could not be gazed upon, could not be touched, could not be perceived.
According to Guangguang, if the proficiency of Primordial Taboo could be trained to a divine ability, then it could erase any existence that attempted to gaze upon it, touch it, or perceive it!
Yes, any!
Including God Rank Transcendent creatures.
Of course, the proficiency of this skill, due to its outrageous prerequisite, might be even harder to train than Evil Shadow Devour.
The newly awakened Primordial Taboo naturally couldn't achieve such an effect, but it was enough to give Qing Fuyou and Os Weng Ruifu a hard time.
"Time Lapse!"
Even Qing Fuyou couldn't resist being 'erased' by Primordial Taboo; all four pairs of its wings were severed at the root!
Os Weng Ruifu was even worse off.
Half of his body was missing.
