The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 726 - 301: The Ultimate Fire Cannon_2

...

"Quack?"

Two life rainbows descended from the sky, one of them smashed onto a towering stone pillar, and the other sprinted downward, accurately hitting GuaGua.

GuaGua, floating in mid-air, had been in high spirits.

Suddenly attacked, the Ninth Layer Lotus Platform went out of control and crashed to the ground.

"Who hit me?"

GuaGua, rubbing its butt, groaned as it got up.

It tried to enlarge its eyes to look for the sneak attacker, looking so fiercely cute that it seemed determined not to stop until it found the culprit.

But just as it raised its head, it froze on the spot.

Surrounding it in the little space were babbling springs and clusters of vibrant flowers.

A little stream wound around its little feet, and plump flowers swayed their roots as if dancing for it.

"Is this a blessing?"

The clever GuaGua blinked, and the little annoyance it felt melted away.

All of a sudden, its eyes felt sore, its ears itchy, and everywhere felt uncomfortable.

Lowering its head, its body was actually glowing like a super-light bulb, even more dazzling than the sun.

"What’s this, it’s so itchy!"

GuaGua scratched the itchy spots, but with just a few random scrapes, the outer layer of skin actually peeled off, leaving behind a thin layer of molted skin.

This was its first official molting, and looking at its own brand-new white skin left the little one dumbstruck.

"Plop!"

A hard object hit the back of its head, and Little GuaGua jumped forward, holding its head, at a loss what to do.

It picked up the object that had attacked it, a white stone that was round and smooth, very small and exquisite.

Before it could take a closer look, the stone melted and burrowed into its body.

Then, GuaGua felt a coolness on its neck as a stone pendant gradually took shape.

"Eh, there seems to be a character on it?"

GuaGua couldn’t see clearly and could only fiddle with it using its little paws, turning it over and playing with it.

After a while, it discovered that a "Gua" character seemed to be carved on the stone, and it became ecstatic, its heart blossoming with joy.

"Yay, yay, yay! This is my name, Yay!!"

"The name Big Tadpole gave me, could it be that Tiandao has remembered it? That’s so awesome, I’m going to be famous for centuries!"

GuaGua, full of excitement, hugged a flower stem, joining in the chaotic dance of the flowers.

...

In the next room, Goose Immortal was staring with eyes as big as copper bells, motionless like a statue.

It watched as a peculiar beam of light charged toward it.

A wild smile was ready to break out, but before it could actually laugh, the beam of light took a turn and dove into the next room.

"This is outrageous!!"

"I don’t believe this, Tiandao, I’ll give you one more chance!"

The cursing Goose Immortal, with its iron wings tapping the ground, showed no sign of fear.

Although it could accept having or not having it,

If it had it, it would mean the recognition of the heavenly laws and principles, an ultimate honor in itself.

"Whoosh!"

A cluster of flames fell from the sky, and Goose Immortal’s complexion changed as it quickly folded its wings and dodged to the side.

But with limited space and its massive body, there was no way to completely avoid it.

A scream was heard as half of Goose Immortal’s wing caught fire, and at least three giant black feathers burned to ash.

"Alright, alright, it’s bad enough not to bestow blessings, but to even bring calamity!"

"Well done, Tiandao, to look down on an original member of the Feather Clan like me, I have decided, from now on I shall defy the heavens and will never follow fate!"

"Whoosh!"

Another cluster of flames smashed down, and Goose Immortal shut its beak, enduring the bone-piercing pain.

This time, its entire body was bathed in flame, and all its feathers were scorched off.

The ’Fierce Goose Fighter’, bereft of its indestructible iron feathers, turned into a bald and foolish-looking goose... How could it swallow such an indignity?

"Hmm?"

Goose Immortal, disbelieving and about to curse, opened its beak slightly amid its shabby appearance.

Something seemed off...

Though the feathers had burned off, the blood inside began to surge, the vital flame within it burned vigorously, seemingly brighter and more robust than just a moment ago.

"Could it be that I’ve wrongly accused them?" Goose Immortal’s anger eased slightly.

But when it saw itself bald without a single feather, the corners of its eyes still twitched, and its heart couldn’t find peace.

"Damn it, this doesn’t feel like an extraordinary blessing at all!"

"It’s like alms, giving just a little bit of grace, with extra suffering that comes with it... almost like a rebuke to me!"

Goose Immortal resumed its grumbling and, jumping up and down, railed at the sky.

But this time, nothing happened; heaven and earth seemed to have forgotten it, neither blessings nor disasters had anything to do with it anymore.

"Boom!"

"Whoo-hah!!"

Lightning, flames, hail, tornadoes, rainbows, destructive beams... various beams continued to sweep the Ghost Lamp Abyss.

Ancient tombs that had stood for ten thousands of years were consumed by ruthless fire, and foul-smelling rivers were leveled in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand, the number of mutated individuals among the recently born creatures increased by several folds.

If they grew up successfully, they would become the new species for the second epoch of the New Era.

In the future, some of the strong races will view these creatures as their forebears, continuing from generation to generation, until their extinction.

"Something’s wrong, why isn’t there any movement?"

Ye Hanjun, seated cross-legged, grew more solemn.

He had made all the preparations, anticipating the arrival of the calamity.

With a Passive Ability like ’Unexpected Disaster’, even if he took a destructive beam, it would be normal.
