The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 885: Divine Realm Warning: The Coming of Original Sin

The sky shattered like shattered glass, and the alarm from the astral core ripped through the void. Yun Yao's fingertips had barely touched Liu Yan'er's dissipated soul when a chilling, bone-chilling aura suddenly surged from the depths of the demonic realm's abyss. Dark crimson demonic energy surged like a tide, coalescing in the air into a ferocious giant eye, its pupils gleaming with a terrifying crimson light.

"Warning! Divine-level energy fluctuations have been detected, and the erosion index of the Original Sin Divine Realm has risen sharply!" The usually calm mechanical voice of the system now trembled a little, and the sound exploded in Yun Yao's sea of consciousness.

Yun Yao clenched the Void Jade tightly in her hand, a gentle glow emanating from it, a stark contrast to the pervasive demonic energy. She glanced around warily, only to discover that the demonic energy within the abyss was condensing at a visible speed, gradually outlining the outline of a human figure. The figure was clad in a black robe, its face veiled in shadow, only a wicked smile curling at the corner of its mouth, revealing endless malice.

"Lord of the Star Realm? Nothing more than that." The black-robed man chuckled harshly, the sound like rusty gears grinding against each other, making one feel uneasy. "The origin of the Seven Deadly Sins will surely become the key to opening the gate to the divine realm."

Chu Mochen, like a flash of black lightning, instantly stood before Yun Yao. His Ni Lin Blood Sword was unsheathed, the shadow of the Candle Dragon looming above the blade, emanating a powerful pressure. "If you want to seize the origin from us, you must get past me first!" Chu Mochen's voice was deep and firm, a golden-red light flickering in his eyes, a sign of the Candle Dragon bloodline's complete awakening.

The black-robed figure scoffed contemptuously, raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, countless black chains shot out from the demonic energy, wrapping around the two men like serpents. Wherever the chains passed, ripples appeared in the air, as if ready to be torn apart at any moment. Yun Yao's eyes flashed, and the Void Spirit Jade in her hand shone brightly. A brilliant starlight descended from the sky, severing the chains completely.

However, at that moment, the black-robed figure suddenly vanished. The next second, he reappeared behind Yun Yao, a jet-black dagger in his hand, thrusting it straight into her back. Chu Mochen's pupils constricted, and he tried to turn back to rescue her, but it was too late. In the nick of time, Yun Yao's body surged with chaotic spiritual energy, forming a solid shield. The dagger pierced this shield, sending out dazzling sparks.

"Little trick." Yun Yao snorted coldly, flicking her fingertips, and a stream of chaotic sword energy whistled out. The black-robed man hurriedly dodged, but the sword energy still grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep wound that was visible to the bone. Surprisingly, no blood flowed from the wound. Instead, a large amount of black demonic energy surged out, instantly healing the wound.

"So that's how it is. You're nothing more than an energy vessel." Yun Yao's eyes darkened, instantly understanding the black-robed man's secret. These so-called Apostles of Original Sin were merely puppets used by the divine realm to collect essence. Their bodies had long been transformed by demonic energy, allowing them to quickly repair injuries.

Seeing his identity revealed, the black-robed figure no longer concealed his strength. He roared to the heavens, his demonic energy surging wildly, transforming into a massive demonic hand that reached out towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Seven rays of light, each of varying colors, flickered within the hand, the very power of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Chu Mochen shouted, and the Ni Lin Blood Sword swung out a massive flash of sword light, colliding with the demonic hand. A violent explosion echoed, and the entire Demonic Abyss trembled. Yun Yao seized the opportunity to summon the Star Realm Core. Countless starlight poured down from the void, intertwining with Chu Mochen's sword light, forming a powerful force that shattered the demonic hand.

The black-robed figure's expression drastically changed. He attempted to flee, only to discover that he was already surrounded by the Chaos Spirit Formation Yun Yao had cast. "You think you can trap me like this? You're so naive!" The black-robed figure laughed maniacally, his demonic energy surging uncontrollably. "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed figure's body began to rapidly expand, clearly intending to self-destruct. Yun Yao was startled, knowing full well that the power of such a self-destruction would be enough to destroy the entire Demonic Abyss, potentially even affecting the world of cultivation. She acted decisively, forming hand seals and muttering, "Chaos returns to the abyss, all things are silent!"

A powerful suction emanated from Yun Yao's palm, sucking all the energy generated by the black-robed man's self-explosion into the chaotic realm. Seeing this, Chu Mochen also fully unleashed the power of the Candle Dragon to help Yun Yao stabilize the situation. With their combined efforts, the crisis was finally resolved.

However, just when everyone thought everything was over, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the astral core, projecting a picture across the sky. In it, a mysterious divine realm loomed, and countless apostles of original sin swarmed into every corner of the cultivation world like locusts. They held various strange magical instruments in their hands, frantically collecting the origins of the seven deadly sins.

"This is... the invasion plan of the Realm of Original Sin!" System Lord's voice was filled with shock. "They have been preparing for too long. Once the origins of the seven deadly sins are gathered, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, each seeing a solemn expression in the other's eyes. They knew full well that an unprecedented crisis was about to strike. And this was only the beginning...

"Notify the Star Realm Council and convene an emergency meeting immediately." Yun Yao took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes, "At the same time, have all cultivators prepare for war. We can no longer sit and wait for death."

Chu Mochen nodded and put away the Nilin Blood Sword: "I will make arrangements right away. This time, no matter who the enemy is, we will not retreat."

Just as the two were about to leave the Demonic Abyss, Yun Yao suddenly sensed a strange vibration. She looked down at the Void Jade in her hand and discovered a mysterious rune had emerged from the jade. The rune shone with a strange light, as if conveying some kind of message.

"This is..." Yun Yao frowned, trying to decipher the runes. After a moment, her face suddenly turned pale. "Oh no! Something's wrong on Earth!"

It turns out that information transmitted by the Void Jade indicates that the Apostles of Original Sin have infiltrated modern Earth. They exploit human negativity, spreading rumors online and causing panic and chaos. All of this is done to gather the roots of "pride" and "prejudice."

"Let's go! Let's go back to Earth immediately!" Yun Yao said anxiously.

Chu Mochen didn't hesitate at all. He grasped Yun Yao's hand and unleashed his time-travel technique. The two of them vanished in the light, and the next second, they appeared above modern Earth. However, the scene before them startled them.

The city and the streets were filled with chaotic crowds. People argued and shoved, their eyes filled with anger and fear. In the sky, dark demonic energy loomed. The Apostles of Original Sin hid among the crowds, constantly absorbing the negative emotions, their power rapidly growing.

"I didn't expect their infiltration speed to be so fast." Chu Mochen said solemnly.

Yun Yao clenched her fists, a cold glint in her eyes. "It seems we must first resolve the crisis on Earth before we can focus on dealing with the threats from the divine realm. This time, I want to see just how capable these so-called Apostles of Original Sin are!"

As Yun Yao finished speaking, a battle spanning two realms officially began...
