chapter 177 Jade and Silver Moon (Part 2)
chapter 177 Jade and Silver Moon (Part 2)
Countless illusory moonlights appeared, manifesting mountain giants, winged divine birds, dragon packs, shamanistic tree people, and even figures of elves.
They were all beings created by Elucia and Silusalice. Now, responding to the call of moonlight, they reappeared in the surging river of moonlight.
Jade light and shadow surged, closely following the figure of the Goddess of Life. Verafia’s lotus feet splashed ripples on the moonlight.
Suddenly, the radiant divine sword in the young girl’s tender hand blazed with brilliant light, transforming back into a scepter. As she swung it down, life’s radiance enveloped everything, and countless tree vines and branches instantly straightened, shrouding the illusory moon spirits back in life.
However, Elucia did not intend to stop Verafia with this.
At the moment the divine light of life was obstructed, from the depths of the moonlight river, Elucia halted her steps, her dark silver pupils slightly raised. Her jade-carved slender hand held the moon scepter and drew a line.
Following the scepter’s trace, a silver mark was drawn across the night sky. Moonlight condensed into a cold sword edge. Frozen frost tore through the sky, hanging like siege weapons. Swords like icy meteors shot towards Verafia!
The divine light of life shattered the avatars of the moon spirits. As Verafia appeared, the crystal-clear long sword imbued with cold moonlight pierced the divine light of life, almost falling before her, forcing her to raise her staff of life to transform it into a giant tree to block.
The jade tree of life abruptly grew tall, its gentle radiance seeming to push back the darkness. However, the sword edges of the cold moon rained down, colliding with the barrier of life.
With just five collisions of the sword edges, the giant tree of life was already covered in cracks. The flames of life that burned were extinguished, covered in frost. Even Verafia’s laws could scarcely withstand the corrosion of moonlight, becoming shattered. With a loud roar, Verafia was heavily thrown back.
The biting moonlight froze everything it touched, tearing apart the shattered laws of life, cascading down like a galaxy, and striking the young girl at an unimaginable speed.
The moonlight condensed into sword edges rapidly magnified in Verafia’s eyes, even surpassing time. Verafia widened her eyes, gazing at the cold light on the long sword that made all life desolate. This was enough to severely wound a deity.
Suddenly, a figure blocked her path. “Terminus” was drawn, and the moonlight and long sword clashed violently!
The moment the cold moonlight collided with “Terminus,” it exploded into countless fragments. Within the moonlight fragments, the laws of the cold moon lingered, easily tearing space.
A cold glint flashed, and Igert’s arm was cut. The flowing blood instantly froze and perished, but he seemed unaware, extending his hand to block Verafia, who was still being blown away by the impact of the laws.
Igert and Verafia were both knocked to the ground by the immense impact of the laws. Verafia felt the young man placing his body beneath hers, her gold eyes involuntarily shimmering. She wanted to quickly turn her head.
However, she didn’t have time to speak. Clutching the staff of life hastily, the divine light of life surged again. The next moment, the cold tide of moonlight descended abruptly.
“No, Elucia… her power is still increasing.”
Verafia’s jade onion-like slender fingers gripped the scepter, trembling within the encroaching chill. She bit her silver teeth, struggling to lift her face. Her snow-like delicate face, with its messy golden strands of hair falling down, revealed a hint of strain.
Goddess Elucia had indeed just been reborn. However, this world was condensed from the laws of moonlight. Immersed in the moonlight, it was a divine realm belonging to the moonlight.
Within the divine realm of moonlight, not only would every attack from Elucia receive a great boost, but every second, she would continuously absorb the laws and the origin of moonlight, recovering her former power as the Silver Moon Goddess!
In just a brief moment, Verafia was already struggling to cope. She felt Igert behind her grip his sword and get up again. Her slender fingers tightened slightly on the scepter, and she abruptly exerted force and raised it.
Suddenly, waves of power surged. The light of life shattered in the moonlight. The divine maiden dodged to the side, and the moonlight condensed into a sharp arc blade that precisely cut in front of her, instantly dividing the world into two. The cold moonlight fell before her like a mirror, and a strand of her golden hair was severed in the biting cold.
Verafia shifted her body as the dark, cold moon flowed before her. She raised her staff of life, transforming it into a sword edge. Elucia appeared before her. The moon scepter condensed, surging throughout the entire river of condensed cold moonlight, suppressing Igert who had been drawn in. In her other hand, a dark moon sword edge flowed with cold darkness, slashing towards Verafia.
“Clink.”
The Tree of Life withered once again in the darkness. Between the two goddesses, the Jade Divine Sword and the dark silver sword edge rang out.
In a short instant, Verafia and Elucia had clashed over a thousand times. The biting cold of the moonlight had even corroded the life she represented. Even the tree vines and branches born in the divine light of life were withered, covered in a thin layer of frost.
Behind Elucia, infinite darkness flowed. It manifested above the moonlight, surging with a desolation colder than any color!
The river of moonlight surged, and the continuously flowing darkness permeated the space before Verafia. Faint frozen sounds appeared in Verafia’s ears, ringing crisply.
This was the sound of life freezing. Verafia shivered. Even as the Goddess of Life, under the river of dark moonlight, she couldn’t help but feel the biting cold, as if the flame of life was about to extinguish, freezing into silent frost.
“Elucia, why are you so certain that a world where light does not exist and life is extinguished?”
Threads of frost climbed her hair. Verafia could no longer bear it. Blocking the dark moon sword edge with her divine sword of life, she lifted her head and shouted, “Even if I’m not mistaken, Elucia, you actively allowed the dark moonlight to descend, to destroy the world you and Silusalice created, to destroy the life you created!”
The Silver Moon Goddess merely raised her dark silver pupils, her cold light shimmering. The dark moon sword again cleaved down.
“Ding.”
The moment they collided, jade and dark silver bloomed once more. However, the flames igniting on Verafia’s sword of life were weak. Frost spread across the verdant color of life, and she could not even melt it. She could only forcibly release her divine power, and in an instant, her divine radiance blazed, covering the frost. Vibrant life force surged through the sword edge, piercing the dark moon.
Verafia seized this opportunity to quickly lift her head:
“And, if I’m not mistaken, Elucia, the deep sea you speak of, the cold seawater that submerges this world, is all your moonlight—that requires the dissipation of your laws, your divine position, and even the condensation of your own will.”
“Elucia, why are you willing to pay such a price instead of waiting a little longer? Perhaps, we can find a better solution!”

There’s still a little bit left to write, but it should be finished in the next chapter.
