Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 995: Absurd Power

"I’m sorry, Mistress. It... it was my mistake..."

Meeting Yumo’s crimson eyes, Yue said with deep regret.

In response, Yumo didn’t reply directly. Instead, she spread out her Shadow Power, slowly enveloping Yue within it.

"Don’t speak now. Rest well and recover."

As soon as the words left her mouth, with the surge of crimson Shadow Power, Yue’s body gradually transformed into a ball of red energy and merged into Yumo’s chest. Clearly, Yumo had taken Yue into her internal space.

Under normal circumstances, The internal space was where Yumo stored various resources. Living beings couldn’t survive in it, as the violent Shadow Power inside would uncontrollably erode the will and soul of any life form. Even fellow Abyssal Demons were no exception.

However, Yue wasn’t entirely a living being, and she had been placed inside Yumo’s body for years since her birth. Therefore, returning to Yumo’s internal space wouldn’t cause Yue any harm. On the contrary, it would help her recover from her injuries.

After taking Yue into her internal space, Yumo surrounded by blood butterflies, flashed to a ruined area a kilometer away, arriving at Mengxi’s side.

At this moment, Compared to Yue, Mengxi’s condition wasn’t any better. Her body was bathed in blood, with a particularly gruesome hole in her chest. Her holy energy and soul power were almost completely depleted, leaving Mengxi lying on the ground, breathing weakly. However, Mengxi seemed to be maintaining consciousness through sheer willpower.

Upon seeing Yumo arrive at her side, a faint smile appeared on the girl’s weak pale face.

-- "Y... Yumo..." --

Faintly, this familiar voice reached Yumo’s ears.

Seeing this, Yumo bit her lip hard.

Yue’s cracked body that had nearly shattered had already dealt a huge blow to Yumo’s heart. Now, seeing Mengxi’s weak face, Yumo felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Immediately, Yumo bent down and, without a word, took out a vial of ’Nature’s Tears’, pouring its entire contents into the bloody hole in Mengxi’s chest.

As expected of the sacred object treasured by the elves, Tears of Nature didn’t disappoint Yumo this time either. As the emerald light of life rippled, the wound on Mengxi’s chest began to heal at a visible speed. In no time, it was fully restored. Although Mengxi’s body was still weak based on her condition, at least her life force was no longer draining away.

This meant she was no longer in immediate danger.

Meeting Mengxi’s eyes full of worry and anxiety, Yumo understood what she wanted to express but couldn’t say.

So, Yumo slowly raised her hand, gently patting the silver-haired girl’s head:

"Don’t worry. From here on, leave it to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dozens of bloody butterflies gathered around Mengxi, carrying the silver-haired girl to the rear.

Meanwhile, Xiao, who had just been blown away by Asar’s energy field and had stabilized his condition to return, saw the silver-haired girl descending from the sky, surrounded by blood-colored butterflies.

"What’s this?"

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Just as Xiao was feeling puzzled, a familiar voice reached her ears.

-- "Take good care of her for me." --

Hearing this, Xiao stopped in his tracks and carefully received the silver-haired girl delivered by the bloody butterflies.

After casting a solemn glance at the Son of Destiny in the distance, Xiao nodded slightly with complex emotions.

"As you command, Lady Yumo."

Then Xiao quickly retreated to the rear with Mengxi.

Watching Xiao’s figure disappear, Yumo’s body gradually disintegrated into a swarm of bloody butterflies under the crimson light. These bloody butterflies quickly converged towards the direction of the Son of Destiny.

Soon after, As the bloody butterflies reassembled, Yumo suddenly appeared in front of Asar, just a few meters away.

Staring at this chosen one whose aura and demeanor were completely different, Yumo’s crimson eyes were filled with complex emotions.

-- This is truly... an unexpected development... --

Yumo could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from Asar, the divine power that her physical body could no longer suppress, continuously overflowing from within. Even the bloody butterflies, extensions of herself, began to grow restless after sensing the fluctuations in Asar’s aura.

Without a doubt, Asar had now reached the same level as herself - the Ninth Level.

Just a few days ago, this Son of Destiny had seemed like a timid coward to her, someone she could manipulate at will. Who would have thought she’d make such an unexpected move today? Directly seizing the inheritance from Mengxi’s body and digesting it so quickly?!

Was her previous cowardly behavior all an act?

The Son of Destiny, huh?

Indeed, not to be underestimated.

I had really misjudged her.

For a moment, Yumo regretted her decision not to kill Asar. Even if she didn’t kill her, she shouldn’t have given her the chance to cultivate and develop. If Asar hadn’t reached the peak of the Eighth level, she probably wouldn’t have been able to snatch the inheritance from Mengxi’s hands.

However, there was no use dwelling on these thoughts now.

There are no do-overs in life. Since it had happened, all Yumo could do was think about how to deal with the aftermath. Now, the most pressing question was:

What did Asar intend to do after obtaining the inheritance?!

Would she be like Xue Tianao before, wanting to possess Mengxi and destroy the Abyssal Demons?

If that was the case...

Thinking of this, Lady Yumo’s eyes narrowed slightly. A terrifying aura of Shadow Power continuously seeped out from her body, like a bloodthirsty beast lying in wait, ready to launch a fatal strike at its target at any moment.

"What is your intention?"

On the other side, Asar, under Yumo’s cold gaze, maintained a calm exterior, but her heart was filled with fear and unease.

Perhaps due to the psychological trauma from the past, when facing this Abyssal Lord, Asar’s heart would involuntarily start racing.

But soon, after taking a few deep breaths, Asar managed to suppress her uneasy emotions.

Stay calm, Times have changed. I’ve also entered the Ninth level. I’m no longer someone this woman can manipulate at will. There’s no need to panic like before.

"Huff..."

But to be honest, It’s really... quite overwhelming...

Staring at the black-haired girl’s face, feeling the Shadow Power seeping from her body, as well as the energy like a vast starry sky still suppressed within Yumo’s body, Asar couldn’t help but swallow.

In the past, due to her insufficient strength, she couldn’t even begin to fathom Yumo’s power. She only knew that the other had reached the Ninth level. Asar had no concrete idea of just how powerful Yumo was. But now, after reaching the Ninth level herself, with the terrifying insight and perception abilities of the Ninth level, she could finally glimpse the horrifying power within Yumo.

This energy level? Are you serious?

Asar’s heart couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. A drop of cold sweat involuntarily trickled down her forehead.

One of the important reasons for the vast difference between the Ninth and Eighth level was the disparity in internal energy. According to the calculations of her world,

Generally, a peak Eighth level powerhouse would have about 200,000 energy units. For reference, the seventh level usually had around 10,000 to 20,000...

And for those at the Ninth level?

Even at the early stages of the Ninth level, they would possess about 15 million energy units. This was why those at the Eighth level seemed so helpless before the Ninth.

Among Ninth level beings, due to individual and race differences, the energy levels within their bodies would also vary.

But most were around 20 million.

Her powerful ancestor, the Radiant Emperor, had combat power rivaling the Saintess. Therefore, she, who had inherited his power, had about 30 million energy units within her body. The demon goddess who had been sealed by the goddess earlier also possessed energy of about 28 million units.

Undoubtedly, even among the Ninth level powerhouses in the Origin Star universe, she and the demon goddess were already rare existences. However, even so, they couldn’t compare to the Abyssal Lord before her...

This one, Even without releasing her full power, she actually had about 50 million energy units?!!

Is this for real?!

Heh,

Hehe,

-- I suppose... as expected of the Abyssal Lord who merged with the Judgment Temple... truly scary... –
