This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 687 - 592: Visitor from the Abyss!_3
Just like when a man works hard all night long but faces no response from the other side, anyone would start to doubt their own strength after a while.
Although Shi Huo was in good spirits at the moment, Chen Hua and Grand Saint of Nine Spirits beside him frowned, noticing an unusual aura that differed from before.
The Cliff Sword Intent within Liang Yi's Sea of Consciousness began to tremble even more violently, a hundred times more intense than before.
Su Youyi sensed the surge in Abyssal Aura within the air in a short time. The Lovesick Sword in her hand was already drawn subconsciously, and her brows furrowed lightly, ready to act at any moment.
Yue Bai was also tense, with all seven tails fully revealed behind her, her hands forming Daoist Skill signs, and the Spirit Light gradually brightening.
"How has the Abyssal Aura suddenly increased so much!?"
Old Master Ju's face was a bit astonished, could it be that the Abyss had suddenly descended?
If the previous Abyssal Aura was like a smell leaking through a tightly closed door, then now this door had been flung open, causing the Abyssal Aura to surge tens to hundreds of times instantly!
There are many reasons for a sudden increase in Abyssal Aura, but even when an Abyss Cultivator breaks through a major Realm, the Abyssal Aura wouldn't surge this much.
According to Old Master Ju's past experience, such a situation could only occur when the Abyss Will descends!
Shi Huo also noticed something was amiss.
Although the sound of "crackling" fracturing was incessant in his ears, the black divine light's Abyssal Aura in front of him was climbing relentlessly, seeming endless!
If at first he hadn't noticed the Abyssal Aura emanating from the mysterious black light, after so many close encounters, even he, who was slow on the uptake, realized the origin of this mysterious black light.
It definitely came from the Abyss!
And for this reason, Shi Huo could not just stand by and watch this tough and black mysterious light escape right before his eyes. Instead, he directly held back and threw a big move at it.
After all, Xuanzhou Cultivators usually judge the strength of Abyss Cultivators based on the strength of their Abyssal Aura, and although this tough and black light was extremely hard, its Abyssal Aura was laughably weak.
Therefore, Shi Huo did not consider it to be a very powerful Abyss Cultivator, but simply thought it to be some kind of Abyss secret treasure.
When the crackling fracturing sounds finally ceased, the Abyssal Aura at the epicenter of the explosion became extremely dense, and a black storm formed by Abyss Demon Qi suddenly arose, flinging the unprepared Shi Huo out!
"Is that... a rune!?"
Initially, Liang Yi wanted to investigate the truth at the heart of the storm, but the moment his eyes landed on that sky-reaching storm, his pupils contracted, and he spoke out in surprise.
It turned out that besides being made up of a vast amount of Abyss Demon Qi, the storm was also wrapped around countless chains composed of bizarre, enigmatic, and complex runes!
The origin of the chains was the source of the crackling sound! The black spherical divine light that Shi Huo and the others had seen before was just a shell, and when the shell was shattered, the runes that formed it were revealed!
"These runes are actually used to conceal the Abyssal Aura!"
Su Youyi reacted the fastest, pointing at the runes and speaking in a low voice.
She now understood why the Abyssal Aura was so faint before but surged tens of times after just a punch!
"The Abyss has actually figured out how to suppress the Abyssal Aura? It seems they are relentless in their desire to sabotage from within the Mystical Mechanism Continent!"
Old Master Ju also realized, guessing the major function of the runes and spoke with some indignation.
Both Abyss and Mystical Mechanism Cultivators can't hide their unique auras, so infiltrating the other's stronghold requires using other means to cover their aura.
The Abyss's first move was the Demon Spirit Sect, later known as the Devouring Spirit Sect.
The Devouring Spirit Sect was a very successful arrangement. It had existed in the Mystical Mechanism Continent for many years without being exposed, gathering countless pieces of intelligence while continuously weakening the overall strength of the Continent, directly or indirectly!
Unfortunately, they were still a bit unlucky in the end, initially drawing the wrath of heaven and earth, leading to a united siege by the forces of Mystical Mechanism, and after hiding away and biding their time for many years, their millennial plans were abruptly ruined by the emergence of Liang Yi and the Abnormal People.
Afterward, they were relentlessly pursued across the Mystical Mechanism Continent, and had no choice but to blow their cover and escape back to the depths of the Abyss.
However, the Abyss was not foolish. If one path did not work, they would search for another. Since the beginning of the war, they had been studying other methods.
Unexpectedly, just as they had found a perfect method of infiltration, the Abyss had already developed an appropriate countermeasure!
"But what is that, a 'Yuan' character?"
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Yue Bai squinted her eyes, looking somewhat confused at the object that appeared at the center of the explosion.
