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

"I come!"

Nalan Rongzhi let out a low shout and stepped out of the flying boat. His demonic energy surged and raged, and the spiritual power of the ten elements gathered wildly in front of him, forming a huge elemental shield. At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and dark demonic patterns condensed in front of him, turning into a dark vortex, trying to resist the impact of the storm.

"Azure Dragon's Roar!" Lu Lingxi Yao did not hesitate. She drew her Azure Dragon Sword, and a loud dragon's roar resounded throughout the chaotic space. A huge azure dragon shadow roared out and met the destructive storm together with Nalan Rongzhi's attack.

Lan Yuan also unleashed his full demonic power, stirring up towering waves that transformed into layers of water walls in an attempt to weaken the storm's power.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

A deafening roar resounded. Although the three of them managed to withstand the first wave of the storm by working together, the airship was shaken violently, the protective shield dimmed, and the energy storm seemed endless, continuing to rage wildly.

Just then, a non-human roar suddenly came from within the storm. A huge, lizard-like creature with several pairs of tattered bat wings and twisted scales all over its body burst out of the storm. Its eyes were bloodshot and filled with a violent aura. It had obviously been lost here for too long and had long lost its mind.

"It's a Shadow Beast! Be careful of its spatial jumps and corrosive poison mist!" Lan Yuan exclaimed. This creature is occasionally recorded in the ancient books of the Illusion Sea Continent and is one of the most ferocious predators in the Lost Star Sea.

The Shadow Beast roared, its figure flashing through the storm before appearing mysteriously behind the airship, spewing out a large cloud of dark green poisonous mist.

A cold glint flashed in Nalan Rongzhi's eyes. He struck out with his palm, and the powerful demonic energy directly dispersed the poisonous mist. At the same time, his figure blurred, and he appeared above the Shadow Beast's head, delivering a heavy punch.

Lu Lingxi and Yao worked in perfect harmony. The Azure Dragon Sword transformed into thousands of sword shadows, blocking all of the Shadow Beast's escape routes. Lan Yuan manipulated the water flow, transforming it into countless sharp water blades that attacked its vitals from all directions.

After a fierce battle, the crazed Shadow Beast was no match for the three of them working together. Nalan Rongzhi smashed its head with a single punch, and its massive body fell helplessly into the spatial turbulence below, where it was instantly torn to shreds.

Having dealt with the Shadow Beast, they dared not linger for a moment. Taking advantage of a brief respite in the energy storm, they immediately propelled their flying boat out of the area with great difficulty.

"Phew..." Lu Lingxi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. The series of encounters just now were truly thrilling.

Just then, Nalan Rongzhi suddenly frowned slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping towards a certain direction behind him, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone is following us."

Lu Lingxi Yao felt a chill run down her spine. Her divine sense was extremely powerful, but in this chaotic environment, her perception range was greatly compressed, and she had not noticed it before. Upon hearing Nalan Rongzhi's words, she immediately focused her divine sense and probed in the direction Nalan Rongzhi indicated.

Sure enough, she vaguely detected a faint but extremely unsettling residual energy, which was cold and mysterious, carrying a familiar malice.

"Are they from Black Abyss?" Lu Lingxi's expression darkened.

“Most likely,” Nalan Rongzhi said coldly. “They are quite patient, managing to follow us all the way here. It seems they know more about this Lost Star Sea than we imagined. However, the environment of this Lost Star Sea is too complex, and they are well hidden. We cannot determine their exact location and number of people for the time being.”

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lan Yuan's eyes: "Master, should I..."

“No need.” Lu Lingxi shook her head. “Now is not the time to get entangled with them. The most urgent task is to find the Void Ferry. Since they have followed us, they will show themselves sooner or later. We just need to be more vigilant.”

She was secretly on guard. It seemed that the map the Demon Emperor had given her was also in the possession of Hei Yuan, and might even be more complete. Their purpose in following her was self-evident: to find the Void Ferry.

As the journey continued, under Lu Lingxi Yao's encouragement, the Nine Luminaries Star Chart's light became increasingly stable, and the direction it pointed to gradually became clearer.

They had been traversing the Lost Star Sea for an unknown amount of time, and the concept of time had long since become blurred. They encountered spatial traps, dodged one meteorite belt after another, and even met a group of ghosts that fed on starlight. These ghosts were formless and intangible, yet they could directly attack the soul. If Lu Lingxi Yao hadn't used her soul power in time to cooperate with the starlight protection of the Nine Luminaries Star Plate, she would probably have suffered a hidden loss.

The deeper one goes, the brighter the starlight paths on the Nine Luminaries Star Chart become, faintly pointing to a region deep within the Lost Star Sea. The spatial fluctuations there are more intense than anywhere else before, as if it were the source of the chaos in the entire Lost Star Sea.

"We should be there soon." Lu Lingxi stared at the Nine Luminaries Star Chart, where the light spot representing the "Starfall Abyss" was already within reach.

The spaceship passed through a dense area composed of shattered star debris, and before it appeared a vast, boundless dark void. This void was filled with violent energy, and countless huge spatial rifts crisscrossed the area like a spider web. Occasionally, huge fragments of stars would be thrown out of the rifts and then sucked into another rift. At the center of these rifts was an enormous abyss.

The abyss is bottomless, with faint traces of fallen stars and shattered star cores floating within, exuding an ancient aura that sends chills down your spine.

“Starfall Abyss…” Nalan Rongzhi muttered to himself, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. Even he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pressure in the face of such a terrifying sight.

Lan Yuan gasped, muttering, "Is this the place where extraterrestrial stars fell, as recorded in the ancient Dragon Clan texts? It truly lives up to its reputation; the energy here is more than ten times more violent than anywhere else!"

Lu Lingxi Yao controlled the flying boat to slowly approach. The light of the Nine Luminaries Star Disc had reached its peak, clearly pointing to a certain location in the abyss.

"The Demon Emperor's map and the Dragon Clan's 'Secret Record of the Illusory Sea Star Chart' both point to this place." Lu Lingxi took a deep breath. "The Void Ferry should be located deep within this Starfall Abyss."

They carefully avoided the constantly opening and closing spatial rifts, gradually approaching the edge of the Starfall Abyss. A deep, ancient aura, carrying a hint of death, emanated from the abyss, vaguely similar to the description of "endless void" they had seen in ancient texts of the demon realm.

"It seems we've found the right place." Lu Lingxi's gaze hardened. No matter how dangerous the abyss was, she had to venture out for her parents' sake.

Just as they were preparing to explore further and find a safe path into the abyss, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi sensed something almost simultaneously and turned around abruptly to look behind them.
