The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 766: Liu Yan'er's Transformation into the Demonic Abyss

Deep within the Demonic Abyss, the Sea of No Return surged with inky black waves. Yun Yao, clutching the Pure World Lotus tightly in her arms, stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Mochen on the shore. The sea breeze, carrying a nauseating stench of decay, lashed the sky with dark clouds. Scarlet lightning streaked across the heavens, illuminating this eerie place like a living hell.

At that moment, the air suddenly twisted, and twelve pairs of bone wings, gleaming with a cold, eerie glow, burst forth from the earth. With a sharp, piercing crack, Liu Yan'er slowly rose from the sea. Her appearance had undergone a profound transformation. Her skin had taken on a sickly bluish-gray hue, her eyes gleamed with a greedy, maddened bloodshot, and the upward curve of her mouth revealed an indescribable evil and cruelty. The once gentle and charming Liu Yan'er had vanished, replaced by a monster brimming with chaotic energy.

"Yun Yao, do you think you've won by rescuing him?" Liu Yan'er's voice was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it was mingled with demonic energy, hissing like a venomous snake. "The masters of the Chaos Demon Sect said that as long as we use your Heaven-Defying Fate Plate to refine his Candle Dragon bloodline, we can open the gate to the divine realm—and you are just a perfect vessel!"

Yun Yao's pupils constricted, and the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk in her arms grew slightly hot, emitting a wave of warnings. She hadn't expected that Liu Yan'er, after returning from the Demonic Abyss, would cultivate the fearsome Chaos Demonic Body, her strength having undergone a qualitative leap. Even more alarming was the discovery that each bone spur on Liu Yan'er's bony wings was embedded with her "Cause and Effect Fragments." These shimmering fragments were the precious items she had accidentally lost at a black market auction. Furthermore, Liu Yan'er clutched a torn page of a contract, bearing the traces of her and Chu Mochen's "Twin Contract."

"How dare you plot to this extent!" Yun Yao shouted coldly, spiritual power surging around her body, and she was ready to fight at any time.

Liu Yan'er laughed wildly, her laughter filled with mockery and pride. "Calculation? You're just reaping what you sow. From the moment you stepped into the black market, you fell into our trap. The so-called Hongmeng fragments were just bait to lure you in, and you foolishly thought you'd found a treasure."

Before she finished speaking, a magical arrow with the effect of "time stagnation" shot out from Liu Yan'er's fingertips. It was so fast that it instantly approached Chu Mochen's heart. Yun Yao's face changed drastically. She subconsciously tried to activate the Eye of Reversal of Time, but was horrified to find that her ability had failed! At this critical moment, Chu Mochen suddenly pushed Yun Yao away. The magical arrow flew past his shoulder, leaving a charred mark on his clothes and a hideous wound on his skin.

"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes filled with worry. She wanted to rush over to check on his injuries, but was stopped by Liu Yan'er's attack. Liu Yan'er waved her hands, and countless black chains shot out from the ground, wrapping around Yun Yao. The chains also exuded a suffocating aura of chaos. If touched, even the soul would be corroded.

Yun Yao hurriedly summoned the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. Its radiance shone brightly, forming a golden barrier that blocked out the black chains. However, Liu Yan'er seized the opportunity to launch an even more fierce attack. The bone wings on her back vibrated violently, sending countless bone spikes raining down upon Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Chu Mochen, enduring the excruciating pain in his shoulder, activated his Candle Dragon bloodline, causing golden dragon scales to emanate from his body. He swung his arms, exhaling streams of dragon breath that shattered the incoming bone spikes one by one.

Just as the two of them were desperately trying to fend off Liu Yan'er's attacks, Yun Yao suddenly realized that Liu Yan'er's attacks seemed to be intentionally leading them to retreat into the depths of the Sea of No Return. Alarm bells rang in her heart, realizing that there must be a greater conspiracy behind this.

"Be careful, she is leading us into a trap!" Yun Yao reminded Chu Mochen loudly.

Chu Mochen nodded, and the two of them changed direction in tacit understanding, trying to escape Liu Yan'er's attack range. However, how could Liu Yan'er let them go so easily? She shouted delicately, and her figure flashed, appearing in front of the two of them. In her hand, a dark magic sword appeared, the blade engraved with strange runes, exuding a captivating aura.

"Want to escape? Too late!" Liu Yan'er grinned, swinging her sword and releasing a stream of black energy. Wherever the sword energy passed, space seemed to be torn apart. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen each deployed their strongest defensive measures, but the powerful sword energy still shook them, causing their blood to surge and blood to flow from the corners of their mouths.

Just as Yun Yao felt despair, the Pure World Lotus in her arms suddenly burst into a dazzling light, dispelling the chaotic aura around her and causing Liu Yan'er's attack to pause slightly. Yun Yao's mind flickered, realizing that the Pure World Lotus might hold the key to resolving the current crisis. She concentrated her mind, channeling her spiritual energy into the Pure World Lotus, attempting to leverage its power to strike back.

However, Liu Yan'er seemed to sense Yun Yao's intentions. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she abandoned her attack. Instead, she formed hand seals and muttered something. As she moved, the waters of the Sea of No Return began to surge wildly, forming a massive black vortex on the surface. From within the vortex came faint, terrifying roars, as if some terrifying being was about to awaken.

"Oh no, she is summoning the chaos beast from the Demon Abyss!" Chu Mochen shouted with a pale face.

Yun Yao's heart sank. She knew that once the Chaos Beast was summoned, they would face an even greater crisis. But she refused to give up. She gritted her teeth and continued to activate the Pure World Lotus. Suddenly, the Pure World Lotus's heart reflected Liu Yan'er's true identity—it wasn't Liu Yan'er at all, but a "causal puppet" used by the Chaos Demon Sect to monitor her. Her true form was merely a cloud of demonic mist waiting to possess another body.

"So that's how it is!" A flash of understanding flashed in Yun Yao's eyes. She seized the opportunity, combining the power of the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk with the power of the Pure World Lotus. A brilliant light shot out from her hand, hurtling straight towards Liu Yan'er. Frightened, Liu Yan'er tried to dodge, but found her movements severely restricted. The moment the light struck her, her bony wings began to shatter, and her body became transparent.

"Impossible... You are obviously just a mortal time traveler!" Liu Yan'er roared unwillingly.

However, Yun Yao didn't give her a moment to breathe. She pressed on, launching another attack. At this moment, something unexpected happened. Liu Yan'er, who had been gradually fading, suddenly revealed a strange smile. A powerful surge of chaotic energy erupted from her body, emanating from her center and spreading outward, forming a vast chaotic realm. Within this realm, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's powers were greatly suppressed, while Liu Yan'er became even more frantic and powerful.

"Yun Yao, today is the day you die!" Liu Yan'er's voice echoed in the chaotic realm, full of murderous intent.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, their eyes showing no fear, but instead full of determination. They knew that they could not lose this battle, nor could they afford to lose.

"Yao'er, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Chu Mochen held Yun Yao's hand and said softly.

Yun Yao nodded. She felt the warmth of Chu Mochen's palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that as long as Chu Mochen was by her side, she would have the courage to face any difficulties.

At this critical moment, Yun Yao suddenly remembered the twin flames of their souls. With a stirring in her heart, she looked at Chu Mochen. With a connected mind, they simultaneously activated their twin flames. Suddenly, a dazzling golden flame ignited between them, imbued with a powerful force, a divine power that could only be awakened by a spirit that had experienced seventeen reincarnations.

Wherever the twin soul flames passed, cracks began to appear in Liu Yan'er's chaotic realm, and her bone wings completely shattered under the flames. Liu Yan'er was horrified to discover that her memories were being burned, and all the images of her framing Yun Yao were transformed by the soul flames into scenes of Yun Yao saving Chu Mochen. She tried to resist, but found that her power was so small in the face of the twin soul flames.

"No! This is impossible!" Liu Yan'er screamed in despair.

Yun Yao seized the opportunity to retrieve the Pure World Lotus, and the lotus's core reflected Liu Yan'er's true form. Without hesitation, she injected the Lotus's power into Liu Yan'er, attempting to completely eliminate this hidden danger. However, at this moment, support arrived from the Chaos Demon Sect. Several dark shadows flew in from afar, their auras powerful and sinister, clearly masters of the Chaos Demon Sect.

"Liu Yan'er, we are here to lend you a hand!" the leading black shadow laughed.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's faces were grim. They knew the upcoming battle would be even more difficult. But they didn't retreat, instead strengthening their resolve. They believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to defeat the enemy and protect their hard-earned happiness.

The situation became even more dire after the Chaos Demon Sect's masters joined the battle. With the support, Liu Yan'er's already weakened body regained strength. With a glint of madness in her eyes, she joined the Chaos Demon Sect's masters in launching an even more fierce attack on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, unleashing their respective skills with all their might. The power of the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate and the Candle Dragon bloodline intertwined, forming a solid defensive barrier around them. However, the Chaos Demon Sect's attacks continued like a tide, and cracks began to appear in the defensive barrier under the powerful offensive.

"This is not a solution. We must find their weaknesses and take the initiative!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, with determination and courage in her voice.

Chu Mochen nodded, a sharp glint in his eyes. "I'll hold them back, you look for an opportunity to deliver the fatal blow!" With that, Chu Mochen activated his Candle Dragon bloodline, transforming into a stream of golden light as he charged towards the Chaos Demon Sect's masters. His wings spread out, twelve pairs of wings burning with wicked flames traced brilliant paths through the air. Each flap unleashed a powerful hurricane, blowing away the chaotic aura around him.

When Liu Yan'er saw Chu Mochen rushing over, a trace of greed flashed in her eyes, "Candle Dragon bloodline, today I must devour you completely!" She waved the magic sword in her hand, and together with other Chaos Demon Sect masters, surrounded Chu Mochen and launched a crazy attack.

Chu Mochen, relying on his powerful strength and agile movements, moved freely through the enemy's siege. His dragon claws and tail continuously attacked the enemy, each attack causing considerable damage. However, the masters of the Chaos Demon Sect were no ordinary opponents. They coordinated tacitly, and their attacks were like a continuous storm. Chu Mochen's injuries gradually increased, and blood continued to flow.

Yun Yao closely watched the battle unfold, her gaze like a hawk, searching for the enemy's weaknesses. Suddenly, she noticed that Liu Yan'er's eyes would unconsciously look towards the center of the Chaos Realm while attacking. It seemed as if something important was hidden there. Yun Yao's mind fluttered, and she suspected that this might be the key to maintaining the Chaos Realm.

"Now!" Yun Yao whispered to herself. She concentrated all her spiritual energy, merging the power of the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk and the Purifying Lotus. A longsword formed from condensed light appeared in her hand. She flashed, rushing towards the center of the chaotic realm like a bolt of lightning.

Liu Yan'er's face darkened upon seeing Yun Yao's movements. "Oh no! She's discovered! Stop her!" She hastily abandoned her attack on Chu Mochen and turned to try to stop Yun Yao. However, Chu Mochen wouldn't let her do that. He roared, and his Candle Dragon bloodline erupted, illuminating the entire Chaos Realm with golden light. He unleashed his most powerful attack, wisps of dragon breath and shadowy halberds sweeping towards Liu Yan'er and the other Chaos Demon Sect masters, entangling them.

Yun Yao successfully reached the center of the Chaos Realm. She saw a massive black magic circle, a ball of inky black flame dancing within it. It was this flame that kept the Chaos Realm running. Without hesitation, Yun Yao raised her lightsaber and fiercely stabbed the black magic circle.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the black magic circle shook violently, and pitch-black flames erupted instantly. The powerful impact sent Yun Yao flying. Yun Yao adjusted her body in mid-air, steadying herself. She saw the chaotic realm begin to collapse on a large scale, and cracks spread like spider webs.

Liu Yan'er and the Chaos Demon Sect's masters sensed the changes in the Chaos Realm and were horrified. Liu Yan'er frantically shouted, "Stop her! We can't let the Chaos Realm collapse!" However, they were currently entangled in Chu Mochen's attacks, unable to escape. They could only watch helplessly as the Chaos Realm gradually dissipated.

As the Chaos Realm collapsed, Liu Yan'er's power was greatly weakened, and her body began to become unstable, sometimes transparent, sometimes visible. Yun Yao seized this opportunity and rushed towards Liu Yan'er again, the lightsaber in her hand blazing brightly. "Liu Yan'er, today is your end!"

Liu Yan'er tried to escape in terror, but found her movements severely restricted. Yun Yao's lightsaber instantly pierced her body, and Liu Yan'er let out a shrill scream as her body gradually dissipated, transforming into a black mist.

"No! I won't accept it!" Liu Yan'er's voice echoed in the air, full of unwillingness and resentment.

Yun Yao watched the disappearing Liu Yan'er, but she didn't feel relieved. She knew the Chaos Demon Sect's threat hadn't been completely eliminated; this battle was just the beginning. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Chu Mochen. By then, Chu Mochen had already dealt with the other Chaos Demon Sect masters. His body was covered in wounds, but his eyes remained firm.

"Let's go, it's not safe here anymore." Yun Yao walked to Chu Mochen and said softly.

Chu Mochen nodded, took Yun Yao's hand, and together they left the smoke-filled battlefield. Behind them, the Sea of No Return gradually returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. But Yun Yao knew their adventure continued, and more challenges awaited them. And she was ready. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, she would stand hand in hand with Chu Mochen and write their own legend together.
