Abyssal Chronicles
Chapter 1110 1110: The Ambush

Xuan Sheng and Xuan Wu—

Though the two brothers were newly advanced to Level 9, they had already made their mark throughout the vast Source Star Universe with their powerful combination techniques, earning fame across countless worlds.

You have to understand, their brotherly combination technique had even earned praise from the Holy Maiden herself. Thirty years ago, these two brothers had used this very technique to defeat three Sky Prison Beasts in one decisive strike while defending the borders.

Yet—

This combination attack, capable of destroying heaven and earth, hadn't managed to harm the Abyssal Lord even slightly?!

And Xuan Sheng and Xuan Wu, barely putting up any resistance, were directly blasted to pieces by that Abyssal girl?!!

This dreamlike scene left everyone stunned speechless, unable to comprehend what they were witnessing.

Earlier, when Vinova had her head severed, everyone thought it was due to a sneak attack by the Abyssal girl, assuming her actual strength probably wasn't that powerful. But now, with two Level 9 powerhouses easily annihilated in direct confrontation, everyone's composure crumbled instantly, and their most optimistic expectations vanished completely.

"This... this thing... is a monster... n no… A Demon..."

Almost simultaneously, everyone reached the same conclusion.

The Abyssal Lord before them was definitely not some inexperienced rookie.

The difficulty of subjugating her would likely be no less than the top-tier Abyssal Lords of the past—Lena, Luo, Ming, and their ilk.

They were facing a tough battle.

At this moment, even Heinotim, who desperately wanted revenge for his son, had to forcibly suppress the rage in his heart and stare gravely ahead.

...

However, not everyone was as tense and uneasy as Heinotim and the others.

In the distance from the venue, a hundred-meter-tall giant forest of trees stood towering.

A beautiful woman sat elegantly on the treetop of one of the giant trees. Her usually calm and detached eyes rarely flickered with a trace of excited radiance. While excited, she maintained a leisurely and carefree attitude. Her ice-blue long hair swayed gently in the breeze, like dancing ice crystals, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight.

Her lips curved upward slightly, revealing a sweet smile, as if she were appreciating a wonderful performance.

"Looks like you've made your decision~"

Lena stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

Her crystalline eyes were filled with anticipation and delight~

...

Of course, Lena wasn't the only one feeling delighted.

Inside the venue—

Gazing at the Abyssal girl ahead, surrounded by bloody butterflies and radiating murderous aura, Yaohuaba's seemingly grave expression concealed an imperceptible sinister smile.

Heh.

Hehe.

Hehehe!

Without a doubt, this Sword Spirit Clan Lord, upon witnessing the Abyssal Lord's power, felt not unease but growing excitement instead.

"Too easy. I never expected it to go so smoothly?!"

Yaohuaba thought with delight.

His goal from the very beginning had been to eliminate this Abyssal Lord—this inheritor of the Judgment Saint's legacy.

You see, though this Abyssal Lord hadn't yet fully mastered the Judgment Saint's power, once she gained control of that strength and obtained the previous Saint's memories from the inheritance, he—as someone who had conspired with the Abyssal Lord to murder the previous Saint—would surely die. Therefore, confronting Yumo directly had always been part of Yaohuaba's plan.

However, according to his original plan, before officially beginning the battle, he needed to deeply imprint the image of this Abyssal girl as cruel and bloodthirsty into the memories of all Alliance members. This way, he could righteously use the pretext of subjugating the Abyssal Lord to kill this new generation Judgment Saint!

Even if she truly awakened the Judgment Saint's power midway through, his plan could continue.

He would simply slander her as a beast who had stolen the Judgment Saint's divine authority.

At that point, the Alliance would still stand with him, helping him eliminate this Abyssal Lord!

Therefore, to provoke the Abyssal girl into mass slaughter, Yaohuaba had specifically used the Felder Family's privileges on Blue Star to capture Mina and her parents. Using them, he had lured the Abyssal girl to Sky Nation. After all, according to intelligence from Lena, this Abyssal girl greatly valued her family.

Originally, Yaohuaba had planned to use the deaths of her sister and parents, along with a series of manipulative tactics, to force the Abyssal girl into a killing spree in Sky Nation.

Unexpectedly, she was being so cooperative—

Not only did she not hide and act secretly, but she appeared openly on the ceremonial platform?! Not only that, she actually unleashed her Shadow power in front of all the guests and even killed two Level 9 experts?!!

Through the reporters' live broadcasts and the numerous video transmission devices Yaohuaba had already planted throughout the venue, this scene had undoubtedly been transmitted to the entire Alliance.

This Abyssal girl's cruelty and hostility toward the Alliance were now unmistakably clear.

His subsequent actions would have no more concerns!

Ha.

Haha. Hahahaha!!

Too... too smooth, right?!!

The heavens are truly helping me!

Yaohuaba didn't doubt why his plan was proceeding so smoothly, nor did he bother thinking about why the Abyssal girl was cooperating so perfectly with his scheme. After all, this Judgment Saint had never been particularly bright from the beginning... otherwise, she wouldn't have charged headfirst into their encirclement back then like some hothead.

I— Was I really racking my brains thinking about how to scheme against this guy before?

I was really being idle...

Covering his face with his hand, Yaohuaba smiled coldly.

After this intense internal monologue, Yaohuaba turned his attention to the black-haired girl ahead.

Since she had so cooperatively slapped the 'big villain' label on herself, then naturally, he should act as the righteous warrior to eliminate her.

Though Yaohuaba had learned about Yumo's power from Lena before starting the plan, her strength in directly annihilating the Xuan Sheng and Xuan Wu brothers still surprised him somewhat.

However, it was merely surprise.

Yaohuaba didn't care about those two brutes' deaths.

Two guys who loved acting on their own—so what if they died? Besides, their deaths might not even be a bad thing. Having personally witnessed the Abyssal girl's power, these unruly fellows would surely abandon their original unrealistic ideas of single combat.

As long as these Level 9 experts were willing to cooperate, eliminating this Abyssal girl wouldn't be a problem.

And indeed, things went exactly as Yaohuaba expected...

"Heinotim, Vinova, everyone... this Abyssal Lord is very strong. Trying to kill her alone to claim the honor isn't realistic. So abandon those impractical ideas of single combat—let's cooperate..."

Upon hearing these words, the several Level 9 experts present exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Slaying an Abyssal Lord was the highest honor in the Alliance, and they certainly wanted to obtain it.

But choosing total annihilation for this purpose was obviously inappropriate.

"I understand. I'll cooperate with you, Yaohuaba."

Among them, a bald, muscular man covered in tattoos—Baro of the Giant Clan—spoke first.

With this Giant Clan expert's agreement, everyone else nodded in unison.

"Very good."

Seeing this, Yaohuaba nodded with satisfaction.

Then, this strongest member of the Sword Spirit Clan, bearer of the Saint title, Yaohuaba, undid the seal on his waist sword and slowly drew the legendary blade that radiated deadly light—Black Moon.

Instantly, terrifying death energy and horrifying sword energy spread across heaven and earth.

The moment she saw this ominous blade, Yumo instinctively frowned slightly.

The next moment, raising Black Moon, Yaohuaba pointed it directly at Yumo's forehead.

"This is the end, demon... This is the central region of the World Tree, land blessed by sacred divine power. It's not your place to run wild here, monster!"

...

"Oh ho?"

Seeing this, Yumo, who had been watching the show for so long, slowly revealed a satisfied smile. She tilted her head with apparent delight.

"Looks like a very wise choice. If eight people attack together, you might last a bit longer~"

"Hmph..."

Hearing this, Yaohuaba couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Last a bit longer? You're truly arrogant. This arrogance will ultimately cost you your life. Also, eight people attacking together? Hehe..."

"Hmm? What's so funny about that?"

"Because we're not just eight people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yaohuaba suddenly swung his sword, sending black sword energy straight into the sky.

With the signal sent, the ground began to rumble violently.

Facing this Abyssal Lord who contained the Saint's power within her, Yaohuaba dared not be careless.

To deal with this Abyssal girl, Yaohuaba had made thorough preparations in the surrounding area early on.

Having witnessed the Judgment Saint's terrifying power, Yaohuaba had no intention of directly confronting this opponent from the start.

Using numerical advantage to exhaust her stamina was the optimal solution!

"BOOM!!"

Accompanied by earth-shaking roars, the dazzling light of transmission arrays suddenly flickered, illuminating heaven and earth.

"Oh? This is..."

Yumo looked around with some surprise.

As the magnificent arrays operated, under Yumo's slightly 'startled' and 'uneasy' gaze, countless armies surged like overwhelming tides, crossing the transmission arrays in mighty waves and converging toward her. From sky to ground, countless soldiers, warships, aircraft, magical summons, combat armor, heavy mechanical legions, and high-level mages formed a massive and powerful siege...
