Trials of the Abyss-Chapter 937: Miracle Upon Miracle
Surprise flashed in Fu Ya's eyes.
She had long sensed the disturbances within this starry region, even in the midst of battle—from the extinguishing of the sun to the shifting of the moon and stars.
As a Sovereign, Fu Ya excelled in perceiving the broader picture, never overlooking the slightest anomaly. The tide of a battle could change in a breath. Even a minor deviation could tip the balance entirely.
This especially applied when there was a God King's skull hidden in the bizarre mist and the threat of a Sovereign emerging.
The supreme will of the bizarre mist would undoubtedly find its own way to interfere with their battle. Still, she had not expected Pang Jian's Immortal Divine Soul to dare leave the barrier of the Abyss and set foot into this desolate starry region.
Even more unthinkable was that Pang Jian could move the moon and the stars, setting celestial bodies in motion.
The slight shifts of the moon and the stars had not initially troubled her. She had judged it insignificant, assuming that it was merely Pang Jian overestimating the extent of his power, incapable of affecting her or the Hall of Gods.
However, when one dim star started accelerating straight toward the Hall of Gods, a looming sense of danger rose within her.
"Luo Hongyan, quickly," Fu Ya commanded. Two flames ignited in the depths of her eyes, locking tightly onto Pang Jian's Immortal Divine Soul. "This World God of the Abyss could actually bring us some trouble."
Flames surged violently, and Fu Ya's boundless soul essence stretched across the darkness, enveloping Pang Jian from afar.
Two colossal lamps flared into existence above Pang Jian, blazing with deep blue-green flames, within which were woven profound truths of the Dao of Wisdom.
"Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps!" Bai Zi cried out in alarm, her delicate features filled with dread as she watched from the Abyss. "Pang Jian! My master was exposed to those same soul lamps back in the Nether Abyss. It drove her into madness!"
The master she mentioned was none other than Pang Jian's mother!
The Duke of Thunder's expression twisted into one of anxious fury. "Fu Ya is erasing his wisdom, trying to sever his clarity!"
A stifling restlessness filled him. He yearned to break free from the Abyss and rush to Pang Jian's side to help him fend off those eerie Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps.
These mind-annihilating artifacts were Fu Ya's most feared weapons. Honed on the Dao of Wisdom, her Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps were renowned across both the starry skies and the bizarre mist and struck terror into the hearts of every God.
A dark bluish-green halo descended from the two lamps and encased Pang Jian like a dome of distorted light.
Tendrils from the River of Wisdom flowed within the halo. However, unlike its usual clarity, the waters of this River of Wisdom were murky, ominously littered with the drifting corpses of various races.
The influence of the Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps caused the star Pang Jian had sent hurtling toward the Hall of Gods to abruptly veer off course. His disrupted mind could no longer maintain precise control over the star's flight path. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Scraping past the Hall of Gods, the star raced through the darkness until it finally collided with another star, creating a cataclysmic impact that shook the starry region.
The crusts of both stars tore open. Debris was scattered across the surrounding area, throwing the region into violent turbulence. Even the darkness-tainted zones were left fractured and unstable.
Though the Hall of Gods remained unscathed, the Black Empyrean Phoenix's pitch-black domain became riddled with holes from the aftershock. Fu Ya's one move had turned the battle in her favor.
The Black Empyrean Phoenix's wings stilled within the darkness, cold eyes flashing as she glanced toward Pang Jian and the Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps above him.
She understood the Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps better than anyone. There were virtually none below a Sovereign capable of enduring their effects.
Even Pang Lin, back in her previous life as a Sovereign of the Fey Race, would have had her mind sealed for a time under the lamps' radiance.
Pang Lin briefly considered withdrawing some of its divine power to assist Pang Jian, but the thought vanished just as quickly as it came.
Instead, her sharp gaze became focused, and she poured even more profound truths of destruction, decay, corrosion, and toxin into her domain of darkness.
This was because she saw the crimson-clad Luo Hongyan had turned translucent, a sign that she would soon merge with the other five bodies.
Six bodies fused into one.
The Black Empyrean Phoenix could not afford to be distracted at this critical time.
He'll be fine... it assured itself.
Unable to put away the unease completely, she quietly reached out to the Soulstream in the Nether Abyss, intending to nudge it into helping Pang Jian.
Above its blue waters, she caught sight of the shadow of the leader of the Nether God, Long Di, alongside an unexpected being.
It was a Nether Abyss Spirit Bee, or to be precise, the Bee Sovereign!
A projection of a golden Nether Abyss Spirit Bee hovered above the Soulstream, its compound eyes brimming with intelligent light as it absorbed the Dao of Soul from the blue sea below.
The Dao of Soul visibly streamed into the Bee Sovereign's projection like fine threads, seemingly helping it construct a soul-form.
Long Di, on the other hand, received none of the Soulstream's generosity. He simply accompanied the Bee Sovereign, looking cautious and vigilant.
From the looks of it, Long Di was guarding the Bee Sovereign, ensuring nothing went wrong during its transformation.
The Bee Sovereign...could it be the embodiment of the will of the Soulstream?
At that moment, Pang Jian's Immortal Divine Soul, still trapped within the shroud of the Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps, suddenly burst into radiant, multicolored light.
The nine suns behind him also stirred, spinning like molten disks around his Immortal Divine Soul, unleashing a torrent of solar flames that could incinerate all things!
Extreme solar flames, fused with all forms of fire that existed between heaven and earth, ignited through the Blazing Sun Divine Fire, burning away the bluish-green shroud from the Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps.
The bluish-green halo exploded into a rain of light, yet the Blazing Sun Divine Fire, empowered by Nine Suns Strike the Heavens, did not cease. Transforming into fiery clouds, they soared upward into the two Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps, shattering Fu Ya's divine artifact.
The murky River of Wisdom was also obliterated in the blink of an eye.
"So much for that," Pang Jian muttered, nine blazing suns circling him as he headed toward the Hall of Gods.
His Immortal Divine Soul expanded into a towering figure spanning millions of zhang tall, no less imposing than even Fu Ya or Luo Hongyan.
He broke free from Fu Ya's Mind Annihilation Soul Lamps without interference from the Soulstream. It seems I was overly cautious, thought the Black Empyrean Phoenix.
