The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 930 A New Mission

The bell ringing the end of the trial echoed through the Three Thousand God Realms Arbitration Hall, its lingering sound seeming to speak of the extraordinary nature of this ruling. Yun Yao, clad in a dazzling gown, the primordial purple qi emblem embroidered on her sleeves faintly visible beneath the hall's radiant light. Chu Mochen, clad in silver armor, his twelve pairs of battle wings slightly extended, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. Standing side by side, the two seemed like the most dazzling beings in the world.

Inside the hall, the Lord of Heaven and the Mother of Primordial Mist sat side by side on a high throne. Below them sat representatives from the Three Thousand Divine Realms, some standing and some sitting, their gazes fixed on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. A tense and subtle atmosphere hung in the air as everyone awaited the final verdict.

At that moment, the scales in the Arbitration Hall suddenly shone brightly, slowly tilting, and finally, firmly, pointing to "Pass." Instantly, the hall erupted in an uproar, with exclamations and discussions surging. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unconcealed joy. After overcoming countless hardships and dangers, they had finally received the divine realm's approval.

The Lord of Heaven slowly rose to his feet. Every movement seemed imbued with boundless majesty, and the entire Arbitration Hall trembled slightly at his presence. He descended the stairs, one step at a time, each one akin to stepping upon the hearts of the crowd. The surrounding chatter gradually faded, replaced by a profound silence.

"My son." The Lord of Heaven walked up to Yun Yao, his voice deep and magnetic. He handed her a 'Hongmeng Seal' engraved with mysterious runes and continued, "Now, the Three Thousand Divine Realms are facing 'Heavenly Dao Exhaustion'. Countless laws are on the verge of collapse, and all lives are in ruins. Only the Yunlan Realm you created can give birth to new laws and bring hope to the Divine Realm."

Yun Yao took the "Hongmeng Seal" with trembling hands. A warm and powerful force spread through her arms and throughout her body. She could feel the heavy responsibility contained in this seal. She was about to speak, but the Lord of Heaven raised his hand to stop her.

"Take Chu Mochen with you to travel through all realms. Remember - the strongest rule is never about control, but protection." The Lord of Heaven said earnestly, his eyes full of expectation and satisfaction.

Just as Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were about to pay their respects, something unexpected happened. A towering representative from the "Dark Abyss Divine Realm," shrouded in a black mist, suddenly attacked. He wielded a longsword radiating a faint blue light, entwined with strands of the Dark Abyss's power, and stabbed Yun Yao in the back.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen reacted quickly, roaring angrily. He swung his twelve pairs of wings fiercely, creating a powerful air barrier that blocked Yun Yao's path. The longsword collided with the air barrier with a piercing roar. The power of the Abyss and the air currents clashed, stirring a violent gust of wind within the Arbitration Hall.

Yun Yao's eyes glared. She hadn't imagined that someone would dare attack her in the Arbitration Hall, just as the ruling had concluded and she had been recognized. She channeled the Primordial Purple Qi within her body, instantly converging a purple light shield in her hands to resist the attack of the Abyss. At the same time, she activated "Reverse Cause and Effect," attempting to uncover the reason behind the representative's sudden attack.

Under the influence of her "Causal Reversal" ability, Yun Yao witnessed a startling scene. It turned out that within the Three Thousand Divine Realms, a mysterious force espoused an ancient and sinister "Way of Destruction," believing that only by completely destroying the existing Heavenly Way could a new life be ushered in. This representative of the "Dark Abyss Divine Realm" was a pawn planted within the Arbitration Hall by this force, intent on preventing Yun Yao from obtaining the "Hongmeng Seal" and jeopardizing the Yunlan Realm's potential for fostering new laws.

Yun Yao's heart surged with rage; she would not allow this evil force to succeed. She and Chu Mochen were in sync, and without needing to exchange words, they both launched their attacks simultaneously. Chu Mochen transformed into a stream of golden light, wielding the "Guardian's Oath" sword, and charged towards the representative. Yun Yao, in turn, activated the "Defying Heaven's Law." The purple power of the law swirled around her, forming a massive vortex that consumed the surrounding dark forces.

However, just as the battle reached its climax, the representative suddenly let out an eerie laugh. His body began to rapidly swell, and black mist surged wildly. "Since I can't kill you, let's die together!" he cried hysterically. It turned out that he had already prepared for self-destruction, intending to use his own life to destroy the Arbitration Hall and kill Yun Yao and Chu Mochen at the same time.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's expressions changed drastically. They knew full well that the force of this self-detonation was enough to destroy the entire Arbitration Hall, potentially even affecting the surrounding divine realms. At this critical moment, Grandmother Hongmeng suddenly intervened. With a gentle wave of her hand, a gentle beam of light emanated, enveloping the representative. Wherever the light passed, the black mist quickly dissipated, and the representative's body ceased expanding.

"Hmph, causing trouble in the Arbitration Hall? How unreasonable!" Grandmother Hongmeng's tone was icy, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. With a wave of her hand, the representative disappeared, evidently imprisoned by her.

The battle was over, and the Arbitration Hall was in ruins, but everyone's attention was once again focused on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. After this incident, they had a deeper understanding of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's strength, and were also full of anticipation for the mission Yun Yao was about to shoulder.

Yun Yao took a deep breath. She knew this was just the beginning; countless challenges awaited her and Chu Mochen. She turned to face the Lord of Heaven and the Mother of Hongmeng, bowed solemnly, and said, "Father, Mother, I will remember your teachings, travel through all realms, protect all living things, and let the new laws of the Yunlan Realm bring hope to the Three Thousand God Realms."

The Lord of Heaven and the Holy Mother of Hongmeng nodded in satisfaction. Then, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen left the Arbitration Hall amidst the mixed gazes of the crowd. They returned to the Yunlan Realm and shared the news with their friends, including Liu Yan'er and Xiao Cui.

"Sister, don't worry! We are guarding the Yunlan Realm, and nothing will go wrong!" Xiao Cui said with a firm look in her eyes. She is now the "Life Priest" of the Lan Realm, and her strength should not be underestimated.

Liu Yan'er snorted arrogantly: "Hmph, don't think that you are the only one who can protect the Yunlan Realm. I, the master of the 'Karma Palace', am no pushover! Be careful on the road. If you get into trouble, remember to come back and ask us for help." Although her tone was still a little awkward, Yun Yao could feel her concern.

After arranging matters in the Yunlan Realm, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen embarked on a journey through various realms. They first arrived at the "Spiritual Wood Divine Realm," a place filled with towering trees, shimmering with the power of spiritual wood, and a fresh, rich spiritual energy. However, upon entering, they noticed a tense atmosphere permeating the air.

After some inquiries, they learned that the Spirit Wood Divine Realm was facing a crisis. A mysterious "Soul Devouring Insect" was frantically devouring the spirit trees, draining their power and threatening the entire ecosystem. If not addressed promptly, the Spirit Wood Divine Realm would soon be completely destroyed.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, without hesitation, decided to help the Spirit Wood Divine Realm resolve this crisis. They journeyed deep into the Spirit Wood Forest, searching for the lair of the Soul Devouring Insect. Along the way, they encountered the guardians of the Spirit Wood Divine Realm. While these guardians were formidable, they were helpless against the Soul Devouring Insect.

"My lords, these 'Soul-Eating Insects' are so strange that our attacks have almost no effect on them." A guardian said with a frown.

Yun Yao pondered for a moment, then activated "Hongmeng Retracement" to explore the origins of the "Soul Devouring Insects." This investigation revealed the presence of that mysterious evil force. It turned out these "Soul Devouring Insects" were summoned from the ancient dark abyss by that force, intent on destabilizing the various divine realms and creating the conditions for their "Path of Destruction."

"It seems that our enemies are really everywhere." Chu Mochen said with cold eyes, and the "Guardian's Oath" sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if eager to fight.

Yun Yao nodded and began to circulate the primordial purple energy and the laws of will within her body, trying to find a way to restrain the Soul Devouring Insect. After some experimentation, she discovered that the Soul Devouring Insect feared pure life force and the powerful force of light. The laws of the Yunlan Realm she had created precisely contained these two powers.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, along with the guardians of the Spirit Wood Realm, developed a detailed battle plan. They exploited the terrain of the Spirit Wood Forest to lure the Soul Devouring Insect into a vast valley. Yun Yao then unleashed the power of the Yunlan Realm's laws, condensing a massive Life Light Array above the valley. Chu Mochen, sword in hand, led the guardians in setting up a defensive perimeter around the valley to prevent the Soul Devouring Insect from escaping.

Once all the Soul Devouring Insects had entered the valley, Yun Yao gave a command, and the Life Light Array erupted with dazzling light. Pure life force and light energy poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire valley. The Soul Devouring Insects screamed piercingly in the light, their bodies rapidly dissolving. Black blood flowed across the ground, emitting a sickening odor.

However, just when everyone thought the crisis was over, another unexpected event occurred. A gigantic "Soul-Eating Insect King" emerged from the insect swarm. Its body, as large as a small mountain, was covered in a hard shell covered in strange runes. The "Soul-Eating Insect King" opened its massive mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar. A wave of black energy shot out from its mouth, directly impacting the Light of Life Array.

The Life Light Array trembled violently under the impact of the energy wave, and its light dimmed. Yun Yao's face changed. She knew that if the Life Light Array was broken, the "Soul Devouring Insect" would lose control again, with disastrous consequences. She gritted her teeth and poured all her strength into the light array. At the same time, Chu Mochen also flew forward, brandishing his sword, and slashed at the "Soul Devouring Insect King."

"Guardian's Oath, Slay!" Chu Mochen roared, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his sword. A huge sword energy slashed directly at the "Soul Devouring Insect King". The "Soul Devouring Insect King" waved its huge front claws, colliding with the sword energy, and erupted with a strong energy wave.

Yun Yao, backstage, constantly adjusting the power of the light array, suddenly realized that the runes on the Soul Devouring Insect King bore a striking resemblance to the aura of that mysterious evil force. Perhaps she could use "Causal Reconstruction" to find its weakness. Focusing her attention, she activated "Causal Reconstruction" and, within the Soul Devouring Insect King's causal lines, discovered a weak spot hidden in its abdomen. That was the core of its power, unprotected by its hard shell.

Yun Yao immediately relayed this information to Chu Mochen. Chu Mochen understood, transforming into a stream of golden light, he bypassed the Soul Devouring Insect King's attack and lunged directly at its abdomen. As he neared its weak spot, Chu Mochen concentrated all his strength on his sword and thrust it down fiercely.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Soul Devouring Insect King let out a miserable howl, and its body began to rapidly collapse. With the death of the Soul Devouring Insect King, the remaining Soul Devouring Insects also lost control and were reduced to ashes under the influence of the Light of Life Formation.

The crisis in the Spirit Wood Realm was finally resolved, and the guardians and residents of the divine realm rejoiced. They regarded Yun Yao and Chu Mochen as their saviors and offered their most precious spiritual wood treasures to express their gratitude. However, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen politely declined, knowing that this was only the first stop in their journey through the various realms. More challenges and crises awaited them, and they would continue to protect the people and fulfill their new mission.
