The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3300 The Lord of the Abyss Has Descended?
Lin Chen walked into Mu Tianjun's office and saw Mu Tianjun leaning back in his chair, eyes closed, deep in thought.

Hearing footsteps, Mu Tianjun opened his eyes: "You're here. Have you all recovered?"

Lin Chen bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your concern, Palace Master. I have already recovered."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked with concern, "I noticed the Palace Master's brows were furrowed just now. Is something troubling you?"

"Don't stand, sit down."

Mu Tianjun pointed to the seat next to him, then sighed and said, "What else could it be but the war with the Abyss Demons?"

Lin Chen asked, "Didn't they say that the Five Saints attacked, destroyed the enemy's headquarters, severely injured Lords Mei Shi and Ao Jue, and caused heavy losses to the demons?"

Mu Tianjun said with a wry smile, "Yes, that is indeed the case, but after such a fierce battle, the five saints have all suffered injuries, and the overall damage is not small."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat: "The five saints are injured?"

Mu Tianjun glanced at Lin Chen and solemnly instructed, "You may know about this, but remember not to spread it around, lest it affect the morale of the army."

Lin Chen nodded: "I understand."

Mu Tianjun then recounted in detail: "According to the Emperor, the surprise attack was very successful. The demon lords really did not expect us to launch a counterattack. As soon as they met, the Enchantress Lord faced five saints alone. Although she managed to escape quickly, she was still hit hard and was injured on the spot."

"Lord Aojue was closest to this place and the fastest. He was the first to arrive, and unsurprisingly, he was attacked by the Five Saints and injured. However, the other demon lords arrived shortly afterward, and the battle became chaotic."

"Because two demon lords were seriously injured, the demon lords could not gain the upper hand, so the initiative on the battlefield was in the hands of the five saints. They guided the battle area and destroyed everything there. Countless demons were killed or wounded. Many of the demons who had stuck themselves into the ground were blown to pieces before they could even pull their bodies out."

Hearing this, Lin Chen was quite excited.

After all, he had personally witnessed the scene of countless demons "planted" in the ground. These demons were nothing to saints, but to ordinary immortals and to Lin Chen, they were terrifying beings that he could not afford to offend.

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Did they break the purple crystal pillar there?"

Mu Tianjun sighed: "If they hadn't broken the crystal pillar, it might have been a resounding victory, but things went wrong after the crystal pillar shattered..."

Lin Chen asked instinctively, "Has the demon sleeping inside the crystal pillar awakened?"

"no!"

Mu Tianjun's expression was solemn: "The Lord of the Abyss has appeared."

Lin Chen's expression suddenly changed drastically: "Lord of the Abyss, isn't he always in a black hole filled with purple light in the abyss, and only his voice ever comes out? How could he appear here?"

Mu Tianjun explained, "The Five Saints did not destroy the purple crystal pillar before; they were just chasing after the many demon lords. After all, they all knew that a powerful demon was sleeping inside the purple crystal pillar, and waking him up prematurely would not be a good thing."

"They severely injured two lords and forced the other lords to retreat. Only when they could no longer hold on did they break the purple crystal pillar. This was because they needed to verify whether the demon was conscious and uncontrollable, which was crucial to the entire battle." Lin Chen nodded in understanding. Over a hundred crystal pillars and over a hundred demons with saint-level strength—if they all awakened and were controllable, then this battle would be impossible to win.

However, if they awaken as monsters with formidable combat power, relying solely on their bloodthirsty nature to attack and fight, then perhaps there are other ways to deal with the abyss demons.

For example, let them fall into internal strife.

"and then?"

Mu Tianjun spoke slowly: "There was indeed a sleeping demon inside that crystal pillar, but after the pillar was broken, it just awoke, and a black hole filled with purple light suddenly appeared inside the pillar."

"The demon that had just awakened was sucked directly into the huge black hole and disappeared without a trace. After the demon was devoured, the huge black hole suddenly expanded, and the purple light inside shone even more intensely. Then the voice of the Lord of the Abyss appeared."

"No, it shouldn't be called a sound, but rather a projection of some kind of will, because it appears directly in the depths of every saint's mind."

"According to the Emperor, at that moment, he felt his soul trembling, as if it were out of control, instinctively filled with fear, and something invisible was gnawing at his soul."

"He clearly felt it, but he couldn't change the situation. At the same time, he felt an invisible gravitational pull from the purple black hole, as if it were trying to suck his soul away completely."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in horror.

Is it so scary?
The true nature of the Lord of the Abyss remains unknown. A black hole appeared, and the Immortal Emperor was struck hard, like a lamb trembling under terrifying pressure.
Mu Tianjun's voice was solemn: "Not only does the Emperor have this feeling, but everyone else has the same feeling. That will seems to be on a higher level than them. They have no ability to resist that will."

"Seeing things spiraling into an unreliable abyss, the Demon Emperor threw his magic weapon into the black hole, causing a massive explosion. Only then did the five saints get a moment to catch their breath and move away from the crystal pillar."

"As the distance increased, the terrifying influence weakened, and the feeling of being devoured gradually disappeared. But even so, everyone seemed to have gone through a near-death experience, with their souls and bodies severely injured."

"The Five Saints dared not linger any longer and fled as far as they could, eventually returning here. Now, all Five Saints are in seclusion to heal their injuries, and it is unknown how long it will take for them to recover."

"I'm really worried right now. What will we do if the demon lords launch another attack? After all, we can't possibly stop them on our own."

Lin Chen was equally heavy-hearted. How could such a big change suddenly occur when the raid was originally going smoothly?

The Lord of the Abyss has actually appeared?

Lin Chen suddenly remembered the information he had learned from the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. The Enchantress Lord revealed that if they devoured enough Immortal Realms and enough life force, they, as Demon Lords, might be able to evolve once again and successfully step into the realm of True Gods of the Universe.

The Enchantress Lord also said that although the Lord of the Abyss has never manifested, he created them and he can kill them at any time.

Based on these two pieces of information, could this Lord of the Abyss be the True God Realm that the Erosion Lord spoke of?
Without even a person appearing, merely the appearance of a black hole and the descent of a will were enough to severely injure five saints. This is definitely not something a saint could accomplish.

Are there beings even stronger than saints?

How is this fight going?
