Trials of the Abyss-Chapter 957: Killing a Sovereign

Luan Ji spread his Dao of Oblivion throughout the Ruin Realm. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

It rolled through the Ruin Realm with rumbling force, wrapped in a vast tide of demonic souls and demonic energy.

His Dao of Oblivion linked with the laws of the Ruin Realm, and with He Motian, Fa Ji, Tian Wei, and Qi Ling driving the demonic energy, his aura soared.

Two churning vortexes formed in the deep ocean of Luan Ji's soul, causing something to stir within him.

At the same time, two greenish-black vortexes, capable of erasing one's memory, appeared alongside the illusory blazing suns in the eye sockets of the God King's skull.

These vortexes were the embodiment of Luan Ji's Dao of Oblivion.

Yan Hao's skull, buoyed by the nine blazing suns, shifted in the cradle of stars. Its eye sockets angled down toward Fu Ya and Tian Yu.

The vortexes in those eye sockets lit up, unleashing the truth of Luan Ji's Dao of Oblivion.

"Oblivion!" Luan Ji's towering figure seemed to hover within the greenish-black vortexes, aiming his Dao of Oblivion directly at Fu Ya and Tian Yu.

"Forget, forgotten—I..." Tian Yu's face twisted in confusion, as though he no longer knew who he was.

Fu Ya, deeply versed in the Dao of Wisdom, managed to withstand Luan Ji's Dao of Oblivion.

"You haven't even stepped into Sovereignhood," she said coldly. "Though your Dao of Oblivion is powerful, it cannot affect me."

The flames of wisdom in her eyes burned fiercely, within which appeared the projections of her worshipers.

"The Sovereign of Wisdom!"

"My soul!"

Worshipers from across the starry skies wailed in anguish as Fu Ya ignited their souls.

Their souls became fuel to sustain her battle. Their souls were sacrificed to withstand Luan Ji's Dao of Oblivion, allowing her to preserve the clarity of her divine soul.

Pang Jian smiled wryly. "That's enough."

The twelve divine artifacts rearranged themselves. The shield stood at the rear, the weapons pointed toward Fu Ya, and the bell and cauldron took their place at the center, forming an ancient array blazing with golden brilliance.

Stars, suns, and moons drifted around the array as Pang Jian's divine domain resonated with the divine artifacts. The blazing skull, buoyed by the nine suns, pressed downward once more.

The starry region twisted, and an overwhelming force crashed straight into Fu Ya.

Fu Ya let out a muffled grunt, hastily donning a dark-cyan armor with a rippling surface that looked like rivers.

Billions of souls powered this ancient armor. The River of Wisdom rushed ceaselessly within it, echoing with her many Temples of Wisdom across the starry skies.

It was useless.

The crushing pressure of the God King's skull ruthlessly shattered her armor into a shower of light.

At that moment, a colossal beehive with seven towering pillars around it emerged from the bizarre mist.

The beehive was as large as an entire world, and its emergence naturally drew the gazes of the Fey Gods, True Gods, and the inhabitants of the abysses.

"Nether Abyss Spirit Bees!"

"That's the Heaven Ascension Tribulation Array!"

Cries rang out from across the bizarre mist.

At the heart of the seven towering Heaven Ascension Tribulation Pillars lay a mass of stones.

It was the ruins of the Hall of Gods!

The beehive was settled atop this altar-like mound of stone. The golden bees darting in and out of the hive were in the middle of an astonishing transformation.

Each golden bee transformed into a strange divine being. A few emanated bone-chilling cold or were wreathed in flames. Some had chests branded with stars or curved demonic horns with demonic energy, while others were clad in tree bark.

The golden bees had become the Outer Gods previously seated within the Hall of Gods!

A Bee Sovereign resembling Pang Jian sat enthroned atop the beehive. His golden compound eyes gleamed murderously as they locked onto Fu Ya.

"Fu Ya..." the Bee Sovereign muttered in human tongue, the blue Soulstream surfacing in his golden eyes. "You still dream of stepping into the Nether Abyss and refining the Soulstream? Truly, a fool's delusion."

A wave of suppression spread out from the Heaven Ascension Tribulation Array and the beehive. It targeted only Fu Ya, keeping her many divine techniques in check.

Tian Yu, still lost in confusion, could not aid her, leaving Fu Ya to defend herself with all her might.

The Hall of Gods had been destroyed. Her Blade of Wisdom and ancient armor had likewise been shattered. All she had left to rely upon was her body, but even it was far less resilient than that of other Sovereigns.

The God King's skull, with a buoy of nine blazing suns and a cradle of stars and twelve divine artifacts, came crashing down hard upon Fu Ya.

A world-shattering shockwave erupted. Tens of thousands of spatial rifts were torn open. Streams of light pierced through these rifts and engulfed Tian Yu.

The dazed Tian Yu unexpectedly regained clarity during this terrifying turbulence.

"Fu Ya!" Tian Yu cried out in alarm.

The Sovereign of Wisdom was being snuffed out before him. Her towering body disintegrated into streams of light that poured along the spatial rifts toward the Temples of Wisdom.

"Go to the Temples of Wisdom and annihilate her remaining divine consciousness!" Great Demon God Luan Ji urged.

Both Pang Jians responded, "I expected this."

Multicolored light and golden radiance darted into the spatial rifts and pursued the streams of light.

***

A lavish temple stood in a foreign world in the starry skies.

Within this temple stood a towering wooden statue, tens of zhang high and carved in Fu Ya's likeness.

A gleam of light flared deep within its otherwise lifeless eyes.

"Pang Jian!" snarled a venomous voice, echoing from the statue.

Another voice rang out. "There's no need for you to summon me. I will come on my own."

A burst of golden radiance pierced through the statue's forehead, shattering it.

On the remote border of a different starry region stood a dilapidated temple, within which loomed a stone statue of Fu Ya. This statue was shrouded in dense vitality and filled with an enigmatic will.

The stone statue's arms creaked with movement, just beginning to gather Faith from its believers, when a prismatic light, sharp as a sword, came cleaving down from above.

"Ah!"

The stone statue was split into pieces, and the wisp of Fu Ya's divine consciousness within was erased.
