This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 908 - 695: The Collapse of Morale

"How many strong cultivators of Mystical Mechanism has the Abyss truly corrupted?"

Liang Yi blocked a ferocious punch from a heavy-eyed body cultivator and found it difficult to comprehend.

At a glance, there were five or six peak cultivators at the Ninth Realm Great Perfection level, all of whom were once famous in past epochs.

Jiang Xia felt a heaviness in his heart. It's not that these cultivators were particularly hard to deal with; in terms of strength alone, they weren't much stronger than those at the peak of the Eighth Realm, completely within their ability to handle.

What really alarmed Liang Yi and the others was the implication behind this move: the Abyss had no regard for the lives of these people, simply using them as tools, and they had a considerable number of such tools.

Although their strength was average, no longer in their peak state, their overwhelming numbers, all at the Ninth Realm Great Perfection level, could not be ignored.

"Truly despicable..."

Liang Yi cursed silently, using Mystical Mechanism cultivators to fight against their own, and they were once cultivators who had fiercely resisted the Abyss. Such tactics were truly despicable.

As the thought passed, Liang Yi moved his steps, dodging the heavy-eyed body cultivator's punch that shattered the Void in front of him. Sensing a sword wind from behind, he twisted his wrist, and Yuan Zhou transformed into a full moon, blocking the sword edge behind him and the fist in front of him simultaneously.

"Disruption!"

The Domain unfolded instantly, enveloping the blade of Yuan Zhou with a layer of black mist—Cliff Sword Intent!

Seizing the moment of greatest suppression when the Domain unfolded, Liang Yi gently exerted force on his wrist, delivering two sword shadows like a mounted horn of an antelope, piercing the Sea of Consciousness of two cultivators nearby!

Two figures silently collapsed, and Liang Yi exhaled in relief, but before he could rest, a shiver swept through his entire body.

The moonlight in the sky transformed into complete darkness!

Liang Yi quickly lowered his head to see the previously stalemated battle between Mystical Mechanism and the Abyss suddenly pause, as if everyone had an ominous premonition rise in their hearts.

"What... is this!?"

An Abyss Cultivator caught a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye; tracing it back, the glow was actually emanating from his own chest.

The engaged Mystical Mechanism cultivators were also dumbfounded by this scene, unsure of what was happening. Only the players were undeterred, their resolve to complete tasks unshakeable.

At this moment, the battlefield was filled not only with living Abyss Cultivators but also with many dead ones. Wherever that mysterious Array Rune existed on their chests, they simultaneously emitted bright light.

"The Great Formation has been activated..."

He Zhiqing's voice carried unprecedented heaviness.

Although they had sent everyone to destroy the runes upon discovering the truth, they realized too late and due to the desperate obstruction from the Great Abyss Cultivators, they hadn't destroyed many runes in the short period.

A wafting breeze brushed by, and Liang Yi's bangs flew. A cold chill seeped through, making him shiver involuntarily.

"What is this..."

A shadow spanned the sky, and Liang Yi squinted to see a black river flowing through the heavens!

The appearance of this eerie river rendered the battlefield momentarily silent.

Even the Abyss Army was baffled by what precisely this phenomenon entailed or why some among them had their chest runes light up.

Glug glug—

As the rune's brilliance grew stronger on the battlefield, the upside-down river in the sky grew more tumultuous, with black bubbles rising and bursting.

"There are runes flickering from here all the way to the Mystical Mechanism Gate!"

He Zhiqing's sense of forewarning grew stronger.

[River of Oblivion]

Liang Yi glanced at the System prompt and felt a chill.

"Let me give it a try!"

Although he didn't know the purpose behind manifesting the River of Oblivion, he couldn't let it proceed unchallenged!

Clutching Yuan Zhou, Liang Yi ascended into the sky under everyone's gaze, enveloped in a towering sword intent. He swung a sword, and the Sword Qi transformed into a thousand-foot-long white silk, lashing fiercely at the black river's surface.

An astounding Sword Intent erupted, suppressing the entire river instantly, and the previously bubbling river turned immediately still.

"Did it work?"

Witnessing this scene, the players were momentarily taken aback, a bit surprised.

But whether it was Liang Yi being the closest to the River of Oblivion or those top Mystical Mechanism experts paying attention, the expressions remained serious.

"This thing... absorbed my sword intent?"

A flash of surprise crossed Liang Yi's eyes as he comprehended the result of his unleashed Sword Intent.

With the addition of Cliff Sword Intent, even against a Ninth Realm Abyss Cultivator, this strike could have slain them on the spot. However, the River of Oblivion absorbed it without any response.

The subsequent calmness wasn't due to his Sword Intent, but the Disruption Domain effect.

Yet after deploying the Disruption Domain, Liang Yi hesitated to take further action; he found the situation tricky.

Upon getting close to it, he had unfolded the Disruption Domain, resulting in the river being suppressed, but his intuition warned him that the danger hadn't disappeared and was actually getting closer.

"What's going on?" Liang Yi pondered in confusion, encountering such a situation for the first time, where within the Disruption Domain, it felt more dangerous than outside.

Liang Yi hesitated briefly, deciding to trust his intuition and withdrew the Disruption Domain.
