Chapter 451: Transformation Mid-Battle!?
...
This whole thing with Percival, Spiritflame, and Ayalah all started a few days ago, when they showed up on the Queen's doorstep, looking to trade some goods.
However, these 'goods' were really just some lingerie and panties that they stole from a nearby brothel in the Royal Capital.
But regardless of their silliness, Marina ultimately decided to buy their 'goods', as she saw no harm in keeping a friendly Peak Mahayana Realm Expert near her and her daughters.
It was unknown what exactly was going through the heads of Percival and his two 'stewards', but if Marina were being honest, she didn't really care

Meanwhile, back during the fights happening on the fighting rings,.
The original 500 people in the Top 500 had already been dwindled down to a mere 150!
And unfortunately, of those who were disqualified, a few of the women in Azmond's party lost their battles.
Although their injuries weren't too severe, the damage done to their pride and yearning for Azmond's attention hit them hard
Nonetheless, Azmond had promised to give them all some 'hand treatment' regardless of whether they won or lost, so they weren't utterly consumed by depression.
On the other hand, of the 150 participants who were left standing, there were all of 'Azmond's Main Wives' plus fifty women from the rest of his 'Main Party'.
Ten of those women were Monster Empresses, while the other forty were part of the previous 'collection girls', which Azmond now called 'The Two Hundred Ice Lilies Of The Cultivation World'
It was a name that he gave them on a whim, but in the end, they really seemed to like the group name, so that was what he stuck with.
Nevertheless, in spite of all this information, of the one hundred fifty still fighting on the rings, almost all of the contenders were of the Seventh Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendance Realm!
Which all went to say that Azmond needed to up his 'posturing'!
And that's exactly what he did
"Arghhh!!"
Azmond's anguished screams echoed throughout the Coliseum of Dacratas, as his average figure was nearly launched outside of the fighting ring.
"!!!!" "!!!!"
All of the members in the crowd nearly fell off their seats when they saw such a close call.
They waited with bated breath for the sickly man to keep on fighting! After all this time, they were practically wishing for a miracle to come true!
A miracle that would allow this underdog of the underdogs to come out of this thing on top!
And it was through this line of thinking that they knew what they needed to do
BING! BING! BING!
Quadrillions of gold coins, spiritual stones, and other currencies were chucked in Morningstar's direction!
"..."
Azmond turned his bloodied eyes around at all the money being sent to him as an imperceptible grin materialized on his face.
After which, he activated his storage space and pocketed every single thing worth anything!
WAAAA!
A mighty and splendiferous greenish-gold aura was unleashed from the sickly man, nearly reaching the top of the Coliseum of Dacratas!
HOOORAAH!!
The crowd went absolutely wild after seeing absurb amounts of their wealth get put 'to good use'.
And the one receiving the focus of their passionate screams was currently going through an extremely bright transformation!
OOOM!
A large cocoon of green and golden energies enveloped Azmond's decrepit figure.
A few nanoseconds passed, as everyone on the fighting rings was left utterly stunned!
Many of them were geniuses of the highest degree, and yet they had never seen anything so crazy in their entire lives!
This unknown and nameless 'Morningstar' had already climbed his way from struggling against Void Refining Cultivators all the way to having the strength of Seventh Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators!
No one in the crowd or in the competition itself understood how such a thing could be remotely possible!
However, a few members of a certain blue-haired and busty family had already deduced a few things.
Although Aqua was still unsure of the true identity of the sickly man, she was close to putting all the puzzle pieces together.
On the other hand, her mother and second-eldest sister wore seductive expressions as they stared down at Azmond playing everyone for fools!
Whereas the eldest sister of Aqua and Esra was gazing at the shimmering cocoon with a curious gleam in her dimly lit eyes.
This man is quite interesting His power boosts are one thing; however, the way my sisters and mother are looking at him makes me think that something is up
However, in spite of the thoughts of the females of the AquaRing family, it looked like a few other women were extremely intrigued by this corpse-like man, as all the ladies and princesses were staring at the dazzling cocoon with hearts in their eyes.
At this point, Azmond had completely entranced tens of thousands of women without even using his true appearance
God forbid he ever takes off his disguise and mask, lest he end up being forced to leave Asterion early
Meanwhile, in a certain shadowy corner of the Coliseum of Dacratas, a voluptuous woman with a figure unmatched by most was leaning up against a blue brick wall.
Margarete was staring at the giant cocoon that had planted itself in the middle of her Coliseum, as her interest had been piqued.
Furthermore, just like her daughter and granddaughters, there was something eerily familiar about the sickly man inside the cocoon.
She couldn't quite pinpoint what that something was. However, just like her granddaughter, if given enough time, she was sure that she would be able to figure it out.
After thinking about the inexplicable matter for a second, her unholy body vanished without a trace.
FWIP!
She reappeared outside the Coliseum of Dacratas, greeting a few representatives from foreign nations that decided to drop by.
At this point, everyone was beginning to swarm toward the Kingdom of AquaRing in droves.
In fact, nearly three thousand Mahayana Realm Experts were already lurking around the colossal Coliseum of Dacratas, awaiting the moment their seniors and overseers arrived.
Nonetheless, there was still some lotting to do, so unlike Marina, Azmond had no time to worry about the big fishies just yet.
However, he would make sure to give them some 'special attention' later
