Finally, after sustaining severe injuries and with the various components of the Life Goddess Potion coursing through him, Xiao Yefeng lost consciousness. In this state of unconsciousness, he entered a genetic awakening phase similar to that of Consort Mi. However, unlike Consort Mi, Xiao Yefeng's transformation into the Octagonal Dragon Fish Beast was far more wild.
Consort Mi's azure scales appeared rounder, giving off a gem-like luster, while the scales emerging on Xiao Yefeng's skin lacked this smoothness. Instead, they radiated a sense of wild power. Each scale took on a shield-like shape, with a protruding spike at its center. His ten fingers were as sharp as daggers, glinting with an unusual sheen in the dark green potion.
One thing that Virgo Palace Master did not lie about was the potion's recovery ability. The wounds inflicted by Zero's Spirit-Eating Insect were rapidly healing, and even Virgo Palace Master could not have anticipated that Xiao Yefeng, submerged in the potion and unconscious, would be sitting cross-legged within it.
The cracks in his Symbol Bone felt like a famished beast, crazily urging Xiao Yefeng's skin to absorb the potion. The large vat of potion was visibly diminishing, and the cracks in the Symbol Bone were gradually mending.
Meanwhile, while Xiao Yefeng was recovering inside, what situation had arisen outside that even the usually calm Virgo Palace Master had to address personally?
As soon as he stepped out of the laboratory door, Virgo Palace Master saw the Tiger Shark Team locked in a standoff with Chris. Upon seeing Virgo Palace Master emerge instead of Xiao Yefeng, the members of the Tiger Shark Team impulsively considered confronting him. Fortunately, Athena remained composed enough to restrain the agitated Sigaeo. The Tiger Shark Team could not stop Virgo Palace Master, nor could he bring himself to kill them.
Thus, under Virgo Palace Master's imposing presence, the Tiger Shark Team members could only bow their heads and be led away by Chris's people to face Pisces Palace Master. Virgo Palace Master paid them no mind and swiftly made his way to the surface. At that moment, on the vast plain above, dark clouds loomed overhead as flickering lightning heralded the dawn.
This area was currently in a dry season with little rainfall; such dense clouds were rare even during the rainy season. Observing the ominous sky, Virgo Palace Master frowned and said, "Why do you dare to cause trouble at this time? Do you truly believe my constellation will hesitate to eliminate your group?"
"Boom!"
Before he finished speaking, a series of thunderous sounds split the air. In an instant, the atmosphere changed dramatically as a streak of lightning shot down directly toward Virgo Palace Master standing at the entrance. Was it true that misdeeds attracted lightning?
"Boom!"
The lightning was absorbed by a suddenly risen lightning rod as thick as a wrist. However, in that moment, fragments of metal from Piltovel scattered like bullets across the ground around them, accompanied by a cacophony of clanging metal sounds echoing in succession.
With a swift motion, a shard about a foot long swept across the cheek of the Virgo Palace Master and struck the entrance door behind him, embedding itself five inches deep. At this moment, the fragments that had summoned lightning were finally exhausted, yet the Virgo Palace Master smiled and said, "Thunder Envoy Zoru, Wind Envoy Biaoqing, since you are here, there's no need to hide."
As he spoke, purple energy surged around the Virgo Palace Master. In an instant, his youthful face was covered with a layer of dense scales. His hands transformed from being thin and frail to displaying patches of vibrant colors. Upon closer inspection, even the skin beneath his white robe was adorned with these colorful scales. He had entered Beastification, and most notably, his eyes had completely changed; they bulged outward, allowing each eye to look in different directions.
At that moment, the Virgo Palace Master thrust his hands outward, releasing two waves of purple energy in opposite directions. The waves swept across the lawn, causing the grass leaves they touched to wither instantly, showcasing their potent toxicity. Just then, a crack of thunder shattered the toxic wave on the right side, while a whirlwind lifted the left wave into the air, ultimately dispersing it with a gentle breeze.
Soon after, two figures appeared before the Virgo Palace Master. Both were dressed in native attire—fur clothing and grass-woven headdresses. However, one figure had fur decorations fluttering around him while the other exhaled heavily with arcs of energy visibly leaking from him. Clearly, these two were the Thunder Envoy and Wind Envoy mentioned by the Virgo Palace Master. If Xiao Yefeng were present, he would notice that neither of them emitted any Qi; they were pure Elemental Power.
"You two old geezers have come here? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and seize whatever it is you protect for your people?" The Virgo Palace Master stood beneath the thunderclouds without a hint of fear. Perhaps it was true that skill breeds courage; he genuinely possessed that strength. However, at this moment, his appearance was vastly different from before—having activated his Rainbow Lizard Gene state made him resemble a Flower Toad, evoking a sense of disgust.
Especially when he spoke; his elongated tongue dripped saliva that burned upon contact with the ground, releasing toxic fumes—a sight that instilled fear throughout the African Savanna.
The Thunder Envoy and Wind Envoy were not young men; Wind Envoy appeared slightly younger but bore deep wrinkles that suggested he was at least seventy years old. The Thunder Envoy had white hair and seemed to be at least eighty. Each held a staff wrapped in fur. Despite their apparent age, Thunder Envoy's temper was notably fierce.
Gazing at the transformed Virgo Palace Master, Thunder Envoy declared, "Flower Toad! You have harmed our kin. Why do we old men come to find you? To be frank, we are here for a life-or-death battle." Though aged, Thunder Envoy's voice resonated powerfully like rolling thunder accompanied by crackling arcs of energy; under the thunderclouds above, he truly resembled a god of thunder.
Wind Envoy shook his head and added, "He’s right; today it’s either you die or we die!"
Meanwhile, Virgo Palace Master looked at the two old men with confusion. To be honest, he did not want to engage in battle with them at this moment. If circumstances were different, he would surely turn the tables; after all, he had been pursuing these two for years but had been thwarted multiple times by Wind Envoy each time he attempted to strike.
Now that they had come to challenge him directly, logically speaking, Virgo Palace Master should have been pleased. However, considering that together they might not even be his match on ordinary days—and given that Zero had just fallen in battle due to his carelessness—he could only muster about eighty percent of his strength now. Moreover, these two old men likely knew they were outmatched yet still dared to confront him; it was probable they had allied with other ancient beings. Facing them head-on could lead to an ambush.
Regrettably, this was also an excellent opportunity; if missed today, who knew how long it would take before he encountered these two again? After all, these old men led tribes that had obtained methods for cultivating elemental civilization—a preparation that constellations had been undertaking for quite some time.
With no other choice, he pressed the special communicator at his waist and called for the nearest Capricorn Master. After pressing the button, the Virgo Palace Master laughed heartily and said, "Since you have come to me, I won't hold back!" With that, he unexpectedly turned defense into offense, his figure flashing as he charged straight towards the Wind Envoy, who was positioned slightly ahead. There was no way to deny that in terms of combat ability, the Wind Envoy was significantly weaker than the Thunder Envoy. Given this opportunity, he naturally aimed to pick on the softer target first.
"Come on! Biaoqing, retreat!" With that command, Thunder Envoy Zoru threw a punch directly at the Wind Envoy. The punch showed no signs of retreat, as if it had been aimed at the Wind Envoy all along. Anyone unaware of the situation would surely think that the two were fighting among themselves. However, the truth was that the Virgo Palace Master was struck by the punch, and immediately afterward, thunderclouds flickered in the sky as three bolts of lightning twisted together like a braid and struck down upon the Virgo Palace Master.
Meanwhile, Biaoqing, who had originally been standing still, was now five meters behind Zoru. His fingers were intertwined in a tight knot. The main reason the Virgo Palace Master was hit by the lightning was due to those locked fingers.
In that brief moment, Biaoqing used wind elements to quickly dodge the poisonous claws of the Virgo Palace Master while simultaneously binding him with a wind element restraint for one second. Do not underestimate that one second; a lot happened within it. The Virgo Palace Master realized he had been tricked and attempted to flee but found himself restrained. After using brute force to break free from the wind's shackles, he was met with Zoru's punch without any chance to resist. The lightning surged into him, paralyzing his immediate reactions. Following that, with a series of coordinated attacks, the Wind and Thunder Envoys gained absolute initiative.
However, how could the Virgo Palace Master be so easily defeated? If the ancient Rainbow Lizard only granted him poison abilities, it would be an insult to its creator—the Virgo Palace Master. Three bolts of lightning struck down where the Wind Envoy had just stood, creating a large crater filled with colorful scales. At that moment, the Virgo Palace Master appeared on another part of the ground, his back adorned with a pair of fleshy wings.
It was thanks to these wings that he successfully escaped from beneath the three bolts of lightning—similar to a golden cicada shedding its shell. The Virgo Palace Master left behind nearly half of his scales to create a decoy for himself, tricking Zoru into following the lightning's guidance. It was hard to imagine that just moments ago, this same Virgo Palace Master had effortlessly defeated Xiao Yefeng but now found himself completely overwhelmed by both Thunder Envoy and Wind Envoy.
In truth, it wasn't that the Virgo Palace Master was incapable; rather, he had lost his greatest support—Zero's Spirit-Eating Insect. Both Virgo Palace Master and Zero possessed genes from the Rainbow Lizard.
Moreover, Zero served as a humanoid weapon for Virgo Palace Master; it was only with Zero that he could truly be called the Virgo Palace Master. The Spirit-Eating Insect could devour everything—even Thunder Envoy's lightning elements. This was how he had previously managed to take on two opponents at once; it was all thanks to Zero's Spirit-Eating Insect. However, after Xiao Yefeng burned away his Spirit-Eating Insect with a single flame, losing it meant that not only did Virgo Palace Master lose his best offensive means but also his best defensive means simultaneously. This is why he found himself suppressed in an instant; he only realized he had lost his Spirit-Eating Insect when he tried to charge out.
