Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 181 - 182: Child of Demon lord

In ’s estimation, her aura and Lady Yumo’s power of Shadow were energies that the girl of destiny could not absorb. If the power of the same origin was not replenished in time, the divine power backlash would cause immeasurable damage to her body.

It might even lead to her death.

If that were the case, she would definitely report to the Duke and quickly pop champagne, celebrating the occasion!

However,

Before Qiu Mingtong didn’t revel in her inner joy for long, under her astonished gaze, Yumo’s slender finger, imbued with the power of Shadow, slowly reached out toward the girl of destiny.

"lady Yumo, what is this?"

Shadow power, Holy magic, and divine power were undoubtedly repulsive to each other.

For someone like the girl of destiny to absorb Shadow power, what was the difference between that and seeking death?

Could it be that Lady Yumo had a change of heart and wanted to help the girl along her path to death?

Apparently,

Qiu Mingtong guessed wrong.

In the next moment,

Under Qiu Mingtong’s astonished gaze, Mengxi, who felt the strong Shadow power from Yumo’s fingertip, suddenly trembled slightly. She then instinctively raised her hand to grasp Yumo’s wrist and opened her pale lips, taking Yumo’s slender finger into her mouth!

"You! What are you doing?!"

Qiu Mingtong couldn’t believe that the unconscious girl would actually take Yumo’s finger into her mouth, doing something so enviable... ah, shoot! Why would she do something that could lead to her own destruction?!

However,

In The next moment,

Qiu mingtong was astonished to find that the girl of destiny not only did not die from the conflict between the Shadow power and Holy power within her body, but her breath even gradually stabilized?! The divine power backlash was also gradually suppressed, and her depleted soul power began to recover slowly...

"What... what’s going on? how can she absorb the Shadow power?"

Qiu Mingtong couldn’t help but doubt her life as she retreated,

In response to Qiu Mingtong’s confusion,

After being momentarily stunned for a few seconds by her finger suddenly being taken into Mengxi’s mouth, Yumo tilted her head somewhat helplessly,

"I’m not quite sure either. Anyway, this child can indeed absorb Shadow power."

Saying this,

Yumo’s gaze at Mengxi couldn’t help but carry a touch of relief and gratitude,

"Fortunately, she can absorb Shadow power. Otherwise, I really don’t know what would happen..."

Although Yumo estimated that even if she did nothing, Mengxi should be able to survive this wave of backlash,

The intense pain and resulting mental training were crucial for her growth.

As a final boss, she should leave her alone and let her overcome the pain caused by the backlash on her own.

However,

*Sigh...*

Yumo couldn’t help but sigh.

However, after seeing the girl’s painful cry, Yumo inexplicably felt a pang of heartache. She couldn’t bear to see such a gentle, pure, adorable, and beautiful being suffer like this. So, without thinking too much, Yumo gathered the power of Shadow to help her replenish her strength and resist the backlash.

"I really am..."

Yumo couldn’t help but smile wryly in her heart.

But as she gazed at the stunning silver-haired girl in her arms, who was sucking on her finger and continuously absorbing the Shadow power, Yumo couldn’t help but show a touch of relief and even a smile of enjoyment.

’Her expression while absorbing my energy is really cute~’

While feeling sentimental, Yumo slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the silver-haired girl’s head.

"Don’t worry, take your time, there’s plenty more..."

As Yumo’s Shadow power continued to flow into her, feeling the warmth from the black-haired girl’s palm, Mengxi’s pained expression gradually faded, and she became peaceful.

Seeing this,

Yumo’s long-held concern was finally put to rest.

’It’s fine, as long as she’s okay.’

What a worrying child.

...

...

Watching Yumo gently looking after the girl of destiny, Qiu Mingtong on the side fell into a brief silence, her pale golden eyes narrowing slightly.

lady Yumo,

Are you treating the girl of destiny as a child? Or is it something else...

However,

Just as Qiu Mingtong thoughtfully stared at the silver-haired girl lying on the ground...

The pink-haired girl’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at this moment.

’Wait?’

’Was it my imagination?’

’Did the corner of this girl’s mouth just curl up?!!’

However,

Before Qiu Mingtong could speak or carefully confirm,

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang and the terrifying release of black Shadow power, a series of black lights exploded in the distance once more! Following that, under Qiu mingtong’s puzzled gaze, a figure wrapped in black Shadow power suddenly soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant...

"lady Yumo, who was that?"

"..."

Feeling the eruption of that aura, Yumo also looked solemnly at the sky.

’Yuan’er?’

’What happened to that child?’

’And, the location where the Shadow power just erupted, wasn’t it where the Marquis of Xiumu was?’

’Could it be...’

’Damn it, didn’t I tell that child not to run around?!’

In an instant, a feeling of weariness emerged in Yumo’s heart...

--

Just as Yumo was feeling quite helpless and troubled,

At the same time,

In a valley somewhere within the Red Lotus Leaf Empire,

Accompanied by a wave of azure spatial fluctuations, a large, gloomy valley suddenly opened up an azure spatial gate.

And in The next moment,

A disheveled, panic-stricken green-haired man was abruptly teleported out from the spatial gate, comically landing in a puddle.

This green-haired man,

Was none other than Wilt, the leader of the Divine Punishment Sect, who had previously used a spatial bead to "escape" from Yumo’s grasp when she was dealing with other black-robed men.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

Clutching his chest tightly, blood kept spewing from his mouth.

At this moment, every cell in Wilt’s body was almost on the verge of being torn apart, and intense pain came from every part of his body, causing him to uncontrollably let out wails of agony. His dark green eyes were filled with hideous bloodshot lines.

Due to the massive power eruption,

The enhancement brought by the Blood Soul Pill had reached its limit.

What followed was the pill’s enormous side effects.

Already weak, even a Rank 8 cultivator like him would have difficulty resisting the backlash brought by the side effects. The blood in his body that had been corroded by the Shadow power gradually boiled, and Wilt’s dwindling life force was rapidly draining away...

Realizing his life was coming to an end, Wilt couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, his dark green eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

This operation had cost him more than half of the Divine Punishment Sect’s forces, which he had painstakingly built up, and he had even paid the price of his life by taking dozens of Blood Soul Pills.

But what was the result?

He still couldn’t kill the girl of destiny...

It was hard to accept,

’That damn bit@ch...’

Thinking back to the black-haired girl’s face, Wilt’s veins bulged with anger.

At the same time, a color of despair slowly emerged in the eyes of the Divine Punishment leader,

"Lord... Child of Demon lord... I’m sorry, I... I’ve disappointed you again, I couldn’t complete the mission... I’m truly sorry..."

Recalling the figure who had extended a helping hand to him in his despair, effortlessly slaughtering the church’s army, a strong feeling of guilt surged in his heart.

However,

Just as Wilt’s consciousness was about to fall into darkness, a strange voice, like machinery, devoid of emotion and gender, and filled with electronic sounds, suddenly sounded in Wilt’s ear,

"What happened to make you so disheveled?"

The moment he heard these words, Wilt, who had almost one foot in the door of the underworld, immediately pulled his consciousness back from the darkness, and with all his strength, shakily raised his head to look at the figure wearing a red and white robe, with an indiscernible face, who had appeared here unknowingly.

The instant he saw that familiar figure, Wilt couldn’t help but exclaim,

"Lord... Child of Demon lord?!"
