Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Just as the three were struggling to hold off the attack and trying to find a way out, several powerful figures slowly appeared on the outskirts of the ambush.

The leader was dressed in a dark gold robe embroidered with black eye patterns. His face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, with only a sharp jawline and a pair of eyes that shimmered with a ghostly blue light visible. His aura was restrained and deep, completely different from the masked man they had encountered before.

He hovered silently atop a towering rock, a staff in his hand; clearly, he was the one in control of this ambush formation.

Behind him stood two other Black Abyss experts, also dressed in black robes and exuding a chilling aura. Although their strength was slightly inferior to the leader's, it far surpassed that of the three Black Abyss members who had been killed by Nalan Rongzhi and Lu Lingxi Yao in a joint attack.

Below and around them, more demons revealed themselves; a dark mass of Black Wind Wolf archers occupied advantageous positions and continuously fired poisoned arrows.

Dozens of massive Blood Bats hovered in the low sky, occasionally swooping down to unleash ear-piercing sonic attacks, disrupting the three's concentration. Meanwhile, some demons skilled in manipulating earth and stone lurked in the shadows, working in conjunction with the formation to continuously create trouble.

The overwhelming numerical disadvantage, the unfavorable terrain, and the limitations of the formation plunged the three into an unprecedented perilous situation.

“Hehe…” The Black Abyss Commander, who was suspended atop the rock, let out a low, hoarse laugh.

His gaze fell on Di Lin, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "The Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Compass, such a supreme treasure, how could you lowly beings possibly have the power to touch it? It is destined to belong to the great 'Eye of the Void,' and will become the key to opening a new era!"

“It’s the Eye of the Void again…” Lu Lingxi’s eyes were cold. The Black Abyss’s target was the Nine Luminaries Star Chart. They had set up an ambush here, obviously having already calculated their route.

"Enough with the nonsense." Nalan Rongzhi snorted coldly; he had no interest in listening to someone's long-winded rant.

"We must break this deadlock as soon as possible; we can't let them trap us here!" Lu Lingxi Yao quickly analyzed the situation. Her gaze swept rapidly across the surrounding environment, and her mental energy struggled to extend despite the interference of the formation, trying to find the weak point of the formation.

Lu Lingxi quickly made a judgment: "The key to the formation should be the rock under the commander's feet, but attacking him directly will inevitably attract the concentrated fire of all forces."

"Rong Zhi, Di Lin, cover me!" Lu Lingxi said.

"it is good!"

A demonic glint flashed in Nalan Rongzhi's eyes, "Demon's Descent - Ten Thousand Prisons!"

He suddenly raised his hand and clenched it towards the void. The space in front of him suddenly twisted and collapsed, forming a black vortex, from which countless shrill screams came out.

The energy arrows and magical beams that were shot at them were completely swallowed up and annihilated the moment they came into contact with the black vortex. Several Black Wind Wolf archers who were closest to them were also pulled into it by the terrifying suction force and instantly turned into nothingness.

Nalan Rongzhi forcefully broke through a corner of the encirclement, temporarily buying Lu Lingxi and Di Lin a moment to breathe. However, at the same time, he also felt that under the suppression of this formation, his control over space was indeed affected to some extent, and his energy consumption was greater than usual.

"Nine Heavens Spiritual Rhinoceros - Elemental Barrier!"

Nine different colored elemental lights flowed around Di Lin, quickly condensing into a huge nine-colored energy shield that firmly protected the three of them, resisting attacks from all directions.

At the same time, golden light flashed in his eyes, and the bloodline pressure of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox royal family spread out like invisible ripples, pressing down on the controlled Black Wind Wolf Clan and Blood Bat Clan.

"Woo..."

Some of the weaker demons trembled involuntarily when they felt this pressure emanating from the depths of their bloodline, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.

However, the effect was ultimately limited. These demons were controlled by Hei Yuan's evil magic. Although the pressure of their bloodline could have some effect on them, it could not completely free them from control. Instead, it aroused their more ferocious resistance.

"A mere trick!" The Black Abyss commander seemed to disdain Emperor Lin's bloodline pressure. He raised his staff, and the black crystal at the top of the staff suddenly lit up.

"Formation Arise - Annihilation Strike!" As his icy voice rang out, the entire ambush area instantly changed!

The ground, which was originally rugged and rocky, suddenly became muddy and restricted their movement.

The surrounding rocks and hills began to twist and deform, turning into menacing ghostly figures that emitted piercing screams as they lunged at the three.

The sky turned blood red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay. Streaks of black lightning carrying intense negative energy darted through the blood-red clouds, striking down intermittently.

To Lu Lingxi's alarm, she sensed an invisible force that was constantly weakening their senses, interfering with their spiritual energy, and even attempting to directly attack their souls.

"It's a soul attack, be careful!" Lu Lingxi Yao immediately warned, while simultaneously circulating her light-elemental spiritual power to create layers of protection within her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Buzz—" An invisible soul spike slammed into Lu Lingxi Yao's soul defense, causing a sharp pain in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Nalan Rongzhi's body surged with demonic energy, isolating most of the soul attacks, but his expression also darkened slightly.

Di Lin groaned, clearly affected as well. He quickly activated the Nine Heavens Spiritual Rhinoceros Technique to stabilize his mind.

Besides the soul attack, the Black Abyss Commander also seemed to possess some kind of energy locking ability. Lu Lingxi tried to use her speed advantage to dodge, but found that no matter where she moved, there were always several energy attacks following her like shadows, as if she were firmly locked in, forcing her to devote more energy to dealing with them.

The ground beneath your feet also harbors hidden dangers, sometimes suddenly collapsing to form quicksand traps; sometimes sharp spikes emerge; and sometimes corrosive venom is sprayed out.

Hei Yuan employed a variety of methods, which, combined with the power of the formation, pushed the three of them to the brink of despair.

While defending against the attacks, Lu Lingxi Yao quickly thought of a countermeasure. If she continued to passively take the beating, she would eventually be worn down and killed. She had to find a breakthrough.

Hei Yuan's tactical intentions were clear. He didn't just want to kill them. It seemed he wanted to trap them here, buy time, or even... capture them alive? Especially considering that he possessed fragments of divine power and spatial abilities, and Di Lin carried the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, perhaps they had other purposes?

How did Hei Yuan so accurately track their movements? Could it really be a tracking mark? Lu Lingxi quickly recalled every detail after leaving Rift Sky City, but it seemed she hadn't come into contact with anything suspicious. Could it be... the corrupted swamp spirit she encountered in the Bewitching Swamp? Or... something from even earlier?
