153: Battle against the Abyss Guardians

Fingers pointed like a sword, a Chaos sword light, fused with the emerald green of life and the gray decay of death, tore through the dark space, carrying an aura of world-ending destruction, and fiercely slashed towards the foremost Abyssal Guardian! Wherever the sword light passed, space was easily sliced open like fragile cloth!

Facing this terrifying attack that exceeded its own combat power by more than double, the Dark Blue Crystal on the Abyssal Guardian's chest burst forth with an unprecedented bright light! It abruptly crossed the massive Dark War Halberd in its hands over its chest!

Boom—!!!!

The sword light slammed heavily onto the crossed war halberd!

An indescribable, terrifying energy storm instantly erupted! Dark and Chaos energy violently collided and annihilated each other! The blinding light illuminated the entire underground space! Destructive shockwaves spread outwards like a tsunami, smashing fiercely against the rock walls and causing large sections to collapse!

The light dissipated.

The Abyssal Guardian that bore the brunt of the attack had two-thirds of the massive Dark War Halberd crossed over its chest severed! Its arms, covered in thick Bone Armor, were riddled with spiderweb-like cracks! The Dark Blue Crystal on its chest flickered violently and erratically! Its enormous body slid back several hundred meters, plowing two deep trenches into the ground!

However, it did not fall! Relying on the broken war halberd and thick Bone Armor, it withstood a blow from the 127 million feather Life and Death Sword Light. Although severely injured, it remained standing!

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted slightly! What powerful defense! The Abyssal Guardian's Bone Armor and energy defense far surpassed others of the same rank!

The instant he struck the first blow, the other two Abyssal Guardians had already launched their attacks!

One Guardian violently plunged its war halberd into the ground! Buzz! A massive, dark-energy ring-shaped shockwave skimmed the ground, slicing towards Lin Yuan like a razor! Wherever it passed, the ground was neatly shaved down by several meters!

The other Guardian leaped high into the air, gripping the war halberd with both hands, like a demon god splitting heaven and earth, and chopped down towards Lin Yuan's head! Before the halberd arrived, the terrifying pressure had completely locked and solidified the space around Lin Yuan!

Facing this fatal pincer attack, Lin Yuan's eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of cold ice.

"Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel!"

A profound gray vortex instantly unfolded below and in front of him!

The dark ring-shaped shockwave that was slicing along the ground slammed violently into the vortex!

The next instant!

Buzz—!

A Chaos-colored ring-shaped shockwave, doubled in power, more condensed, and faster, roared out from the reversed vortex. Not only did it neutralize the incoming attack, but it also counter-charged with greater ferocity towards the Abyssal Guardian that had plunged its war halberd to attack!

At the same time, above Lin Yuan's head, the Origin Dharma Body's massive palm held up the sky, and the chaos heavenly evolution robe burst forth with light!

"Block it!"

Boom—!!!!

The leaping Guardian's world-destroying halberd strike fiercely cleaved onto the massive palm of the Origin Dharma Body above Lin Yuan's head!

An indescribable, terrifying boom shook the core of the earth! The ground beneath Lin Yuan instantly collapsed and cracked like tofu! He himself was forcefully smashed several meters deep into the ground! The massive palm of the Origin Dharma Body fluctuated violently, its light dimming! The runes on the surface of the chaos heavenly evolution robe flickered wildly!

The immense counter-shock force caused Lin Yuan's blood and Qi to churn, and his throat felt sweet! But he stubbornly withstood it! He directly withstood the full-force cleave of a Sixth-Tier Abyssal Guardian!

And at this moment, the ring-shaped shockwave, doubled in power and reflected by the Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, also slammed violently into the Abyssal Guardian that had plunged its war halberd!

Rumble!

The Guardian's massive body was thrown backward as if struck by a high-speed Starship, smashing heavily against the distant rock wall! The incredibly sturdy Bone Armor emitted a grating sound of shattering, and even the Dark Blue Crystal on its chest showed cracks!

In a flash of lightning, Lin Yuan successfully resolved the pincer attack of the two Guardians and severely injured one of them, at the cost of using the Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel and directly withstanding one halberd strike!

A cold light burst from his eyes, locking onto the first Guardian, which was heavily injured by his Life and Death Sword Light and had just stabilized its posture!

"Die! Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel!"

Without the slightest pause, the second Life and Death Sword Light, containing 127 million feathers of destructive power, tore through the unrestrained energy turbulence, carrying Lin Yuan's chilling killing intent, and struck again at the Abyssal Guardian whose arms were cracked and whose war halberd was broken!

This time, the target was directed precisely at the violently flickering Dark Blue Crystal on its chest!

The Guardian attempted to raise the damaged war halberd to block, but it was a moment too slow!

Whoosh—!

The Life and Death Sword Light, condensed to the extreme, instantly pierced its broken defense like a hot knife through butter, hitting the massive Dark Blue Crystal with absolute precision!

Crack—!

The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the space!

The Dark Blue Crystal shattered instantly! Turning into crystal clear powder filling the air!

"Roar... Ugh..."

The Abyssal Guardian's massive body suddenly stiffened. Its faceless, bone-plated skull seemed to try and turn toward Lin Yuan, but finally, the dark light in its eyes completely extinguished. Its mountain-like body lost all support and crashed forward, slamming onto the ground and kicking up dust everywhere!

[Killed Sixth-Tier King-level Variant Beast: Abyssal Guardian x1, merit points +300,000!] The Wristband notification flashed.

One sword strike! Killed a Sixth-Tier Guardian!

However, the battle was far from over! The other two Guardians—one severely injured by the reflected shockwave, the other having just completed its cleave—had the Dark Blue Crystals on their chests simultaneously erupt with furious crimson light! The central Dark Heart Nest pulsed even more frantically, dark purple energy surged like a tide, and an even more terrifying Mental Pressure began to coalesce, as if something far more dreadful was about to awaken!

Lin Yuan wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes sharp as knives. Although the light of the Origin Dharma Body had dimmed slightly, his Battle Intent was even higher! The chaos heavenly extreme sword in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, its edge flowing with cold gray light, locking onto the remaining two Guardians and the pulsating Skeletal Heart.

The low, deep “dong... dong...” sound of the Skeletal Heart pulsing, mixed with the lingering sound of the Abyssal Guardian's Bone Armor shattering, echoed in this dark subterranean space. Lin Yuan stood holding his sword. The light of the Origin Dharma Body was slightly dimmed from continuous exertion, but the sharp aura of slaying powerful enemies became even more condensed. On his wrist, his merit points had surged by one hundred thousand due to the killing of a Sixth-Tier Abyssal Guardian.

Of the remaining two Abyssal Guardians, one was slammed into the rock wall by the shockwave reflected by the Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, its Bone Armor cracked, and the Dark Blue Crystal on its chest covered in spiderweb-like fissures; the other had just completed its world-destroying halberd cleave, and although Lin Yuan had withstood it, the crystal on its chest was violently flickering with furious crimson light! The central Dark Heart pulsed even more wildly, dark purple energy surged like a boiling tide, and a massive, suffocating Mental Pressure was rapidly condensing and compressing deep within the nest, as if a slumbering ancient Vicious Beast was about to open its cold eyes!
