Boom boom boom—!!!

The entire seabed was shaking.

The glowing coral trees supporting the City of Ethereal Light swayed violently, and the buildings within the City of Ethereal Light trembled.

Even the marine creatures that were originally sleeping in the deep sea were startled; they sensed the unusual commotion and began to flee frantically.

At this moment, the Purification Light Blast had already fallen.

Its momentum was so immense, As if it intended to thoroughly cleanse the entire Abyssal Silence Sea from the inside out!

However, just As the energy of the Purification Light Blast reached its peak—

From within the rift, a viscous, icy, gloomy aura, filled with ominous and negative mental fluctuations, seemingly capable of devouring all hope and light, was rapidly awakening.

“Boom!”

‘It’ met the Impact of the Purification Light Blast head-on.

“Hiss... sizzle... woo... &$$^ rumble... chomp chomp...”

Strange, chilling sounds that made one's sanity plummet emanated from the depths.

It wasn't a feeling.

Instead, it was a wave that directly infiltrated consciousness, a terrifying mental Impact.

“As...”

“Aman!”

The Merfolk felt a wave of dizziness, and distorted images appeared in their minds.

Tentacles belonging to no known creature, countless wriggling eyeballs, and a suffocating call.

The young Mermaid, Xi Ya, covered her ears and shook violently.

The elderly Elder Fish anxiously circled a wooden post.

The valiant warrior, Haige, gripped his trident, flicked his large tail, and an abnormal red light gleamed in his eyes... Besides these Merfolk who were acting strangely and disoriented, many more were vomiting or simply fainting.

“Aman!”

This is bad.

Saliya naturally heard those ‘gibberish,’ but her strength was evident, and her mental power was high enough that it didn't affect her much.

But her clansmen... She immediately released a skill to dispel it.

However, dispelling is only an Advanced Level skill, and its effect on mental damage is not strong, and the Merfolk Clan is not good at support to begin with.

“Angel's Kiss.”

“Life Leaf.”

Mingxi naturally also noticed the Merfolk's situation.

While maintaining the increasingly solid energy bridge between herself and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python, she released her mental power to cover the original altar location.

Yes, the altar was destroyed, but she and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python remained firmly on the ‘altar.’

But what they were standing on was a platform entirely laid out by her mental power!

Because the contract could not be broken!

Her and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python's energy bridge was the most important part of weakening the abyssal silence will!

Because the energy bridge contained the laws of heaven and earth, it was the true power of the world's will.

In other words, the energy bridge was a pesticide!

But this process required both of their mental powers to be fully maintained.

Fortunately, her mental sea was strong enough to sustain it.

However, she also had to keep an eye on all directions, constantly paying attention to changes around her to prevent accidents.

Therefore, she saw the Abyssal Mermaid being affected by the ‘gibberish,’ vomiting wildly, or fainting.

Only a few powerful Merfolk were still struggling to hold on.

However, the eight Golden Yuanbao showed little reaction, expressing confusion and doubt at the reactions of the surrounding fish.

This was raw strength.

The mental power of the eight of them was not only tempered through countless trials but also cultivated by Mingxi, who spared no effort in consuming a large amount of precious materials, literally eating their way to it with genuine ingredients, without any reliance on technology or tricks.

It was all real gold and silver.

So their situation was naturally different from the Merfolk.

However, the ‘gibberish’ of the abyssal silence will was indeed formidable, comparable to the strongest mental attack of a Venerable-level Pet.

And it was also highly polluting.

Those Merfolk truly couldn't defend against it.

Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green immediately took action to resolve the mental pollution for those Merfolk.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Mingxi's attention refocused on the abyss below the altar, that deep, cold, and ominous chasm.

That evil, unfortunate, and negative aura was flowing upstream along the trajectory of the Purification Light Blast.

It silently impacted the contract bridge between her and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python.

“Ugh!”

Mingxi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan; she felt As if her soul had been immersed in an eternal ice prison, and her thoughts were about to freeze.

This was not merely mental gibberish, but pollution approaching the level of rules.

It was coming for her.

This abyssal silence will, it had something!

Just As she was spitting blood—

A vast, warm mental power enveloped her, surging through the contract bridge, like the most solid dam, steadily blocking before her soul.

It was the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python!

It didn't even need Mingxi's help; the moment the abyssal silence will attacked, it had already used its own power to protect her.

The cooperation between this human and Transcendent creature was As if they had practiced countless times.

Mingxi was responsible for maintaining the contract, while the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python was responsible for resisting.

No words were needed.

No communication.

It was more like a resonance and complementarity originating from the soul level.

In reality, they had only just met, and the contract hadn't even been completed, yet it felt As if they had fought side by side for countless years.

“Trying to destroy the contract bridge?!”

A fierce light flashed in Mingxi's eyes, and her mental power began to boil!

In the eyes of the Abyssal Mermaid, Mingxi merely closed her eyes tightly, gripping the Sword Key, her body trembling slightly.

But on the mental plane, a silent storm was raging.

Her boundless mental power was no longer solely used to construct the invisible altar formed by pure mental energy; instead, countless strands were separated to weave a large net below the mental power altar.

I can't spare the energy to attack you right now, but I can still stop you from causing trouble.

“Hiss—!”

The Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python let out a low growl with a hint of surprise.

It could clearly feel the seemingly endless ocean of mental power surging from the Little Human opposite it.

It was ‘Her’ indeed.

Under such circumstances, she could even spare energy to weave a ‘protective net.’

What shocked it even more was that Mingxi, while supporting such a massive mental construct and resisting the erosion of the Abyssal Silence power, could still maintain the contract bridge with it.

No wonder the inherited prophecy told it to follow!

Such a thing was already evident.

The Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python once again opened its Eyes of Destiny, and the river of stars accelerated its flow.

This time, it wasn't to spy on Mingxi, but to fix its gaze entirely on the darkness below.

Countless threads of destiny were drawn from nothingness, coiling towards the abyssal silence will.

An chaotic existence born from trauma.

Countless flesh and blood lives perished because of it.

Forced into slumber in the abyss... The Little Human, who was about to become its Beast Tamers, was mistaken.

The abyssal silence will, though named 'will,' actually had no soul whatsoever.

Its essence was solely the desire to erode, destroy, and occupy the world.

It was the defilement itself, driven by desire.

Its attack on her wasn't personal; it instinctively perceived her As a threat.

However, this abyssal silence will was indeed a major problem.

If it couldn't be eliminated quickly, it would bring unimaginable disaster to humans and Transcendent creatures in the near future.

More importantly, the world wound would worsen!

In its premonition, the City of Ethereal Light did not feature the Little Human and her companions, so ‘She’ was indeed an existence outside of destiny.

The Abyssal Mermaid were originally destined to be completely wiped out by the abyssal silence will!

“Rumble... click click!”

The abyssal silence will emitted an unpleasant tremor; it sensed an unusual threat.

The deathly darkness surrounding it grew denser, instinctively resisting the prying eyes of destiny and the constant suppression and weakening from above.

“Nee... roo lee... la pi...”

Because of the pain, it once again uttered unintelligible gibberish, trying to alleviate it.

“Buzz—!”

Two supreme powers, using the mental altar and contract bridge constructed by Mingxi As a battlefield, engaged in a silent yet extremely perilous rule-level tug-of-war!

The surging energy caused the entire deep-sea space to exhibit an unstable, distorted sensation!

This scene completely shocked all onlookers.

The Abyssal Mermaid, ‘helped up’ and protected by Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green, had long collapsed on the ground, finding it difficult even to look up.

They could feel the boundless mighty power surging on that mental altar, a level they simply could not comprehend.

Even Saliya's lips trembled slightly.

“Is our Sovereign’s Beast Tamers’ mental power truly inexhaustible?”

How vast!

How solid!

How stable!

Simply terrifying!

At this moment, its initial resentment and dissatisfaction regarding the contract between the Sovereign and the human finally completely dissipated, replaced by an emotion called “recognition” and even “admiration.”

To be able to, As a mortal, simultaneously bear the Impact of the contract and the abyssal silence will's rules, and to construct such a stable invisible altar out of thin air with mental power.

Moreover, under these circumstances, the energy bridge of her contract with the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python not only showed no signs of collapse but actually became even more solid.

This human truly had the qualifications to become their Sovereign's Beast Tamers!

Mingxi didn't know that Saliya only truly recognized her now; at this moment, [N O V E L I G H T] the energy bridge between her and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python was coiling like a double helix.

“Buzz—!”

The Sword Key, which had been suspended in mid-air, flew up and directly merged into the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python's body.

Her Pet Space once again became ethereal.

A silhouette of the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python appeared on one of the blank walls.

Contract complete!

No choice!

Even if Mingxi and the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python tried their best to delay, they couldn't prolong the contract process indefinitely.

Once the energy bridge was constructed and the Soul Key entered the Pet's body, the contract had to be completed.

And this also meant that they had completely lost the power to weaken and purify the abyssal silence will.

And the abyssal silence will would truly awaken!

“Evacuate the City of Ethereal Light!”

Mingxi ordered in a deep voice.

“Aman.”

Please.

“As!”

Please!

The Merfolk, in hoarse, anxious, yet powerful and sincere voices, earnestly pleaded with Mingxi and the eight Golden Yuanbao—no, now nine.

Please!

The hope for their clan's freedom!

But they didn't wait for her response and quickly retreated towards the outside of the stronghold, following the clan elders.

Of all the Abyssal Mermaid, only Saliya remained.

Of course, not counting Black Pearl.

Saliya was, after all, a Venerable-level Transcendent creature, the combat ceiling of the entire Merfolk Clan; it might not be As strong As Golden Yuanbao overall.

But As an auxiliary combatant for the nine Golden Yuanbao, it was more than sufficient.

Of course, even if Mingxi wanted it to leave, it wouldn't agree.

Because arrangements had been made long ago, the Merfolk evacuated very quickly.

Soon, a group of fish disappeared from Mingxi's sight, and from within the rift, that viscous, icy, unsettling aura descended with an even more forceful presence.

But to the surprise of Mingxi and the Golden Yuanbao, what slowly rose from the rift was not the twisted, hideous, unspeakable terrifying monster they had imagined.

It was a... remarkably docile and adorable existence.

It was no more than half a human's height, shaped like a plump cicada carved from the finest black jade.

Its entire body was smooth and round, with flowing, perfect lines, devoid of any sharp edges.

A pair of enormous compound eyes, occupying half its body, were a pure, flawless pale purple, resembling two top-grade gems immersed in a clear spring, reflecting the lingering Purification Light Blast around them, sparkling with an innocent and harmless glow.

It also had two pairs of wings on its back, As thin As cicada wings, with a faint, flowing halo around their edges.

It floated there silently, its small, delicate body forming an absurdly extreme contrast with the terrifying aura it emitted, an aura capable of polluting the entire sea area.

It tilted its head slightly, its Colored Glaze purple eyes blinking curiously, As if observing this strange world and the tiny beings before it who were trying to harm it.

This extremely cute, harmless appearance was completely contrary to the fact that its essence was a ‘pathogen’ bred from a world wound, the frenzied abyssal silence will!

But such a fact, instead, formed the sharpest, most chilling contrast!

The abyssal silence will taking on a docile and adorable appearance was the greatest abnormality!

At this moment, Mingxi elevated the danger level of this ‘cicada’ to the highest degree.

How does that saying go? “The hunter often appears in the guise of the prey.”

This abyssal silence will clearly possessed the deceptiveness of an Advanced Level hunter!

If they hadn't seen it emerge from the rift with their own eyes, who would have thought this was the abyssal silence will?

If it were to leave the City of Ethereal Light, leave this Abyssal Silence Sea in this form... Danger! Danger! Danger!

A familiar song began to play in Mingxi's mind.

Mingxi held the Qianshan Path in her right hand and the star god scepter in her left, activating all her defensive items.

She was fully armed!

Get out the gear, let's do this!

The abyssal silence will indeed acted on instinct; it sensed Mingxi's killing intent!

It gently vibrated its cicada wings.

“Rumble...”

An even deeper and purer darkness and stillness than before, like invisible ink, began to quietly spread from its center.

“Attack!”

Mingxi commanded.

“Thunder!”

Golden Yuanbao was the first to charge.

It let out a sharp cry, its wings spreading like dark clouds.

The brewing Thunderstorm enveloped it.

“Boom—!”

At the same time, Lan Yue followed closely; it didn't directly attack the abyssal silence will but compressed the power of ice and fire to the extreme, transforming it into countless ice-fire dust particles As fine As ox hair.

Like scattered stardust, it silently sprinkled towards the abyssal silence will.

Ice-Fire Stardust.

A new skill initiated by Lan Yue.

A new skill whose God Rank was confirmed by Guangguang!
