The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 760: The Twin Tribulations of Pure World Lotus Heart

The Sea of No Return, deep within the Demonic Abyss, surged with dark purple waves, each wave carrying a chaotic aura capable of corroding the soul. Yun Yao tightly grasped Chu Mochen's hand, the Destiny-Defying Disk vibrating violently against her chest. The patterns on the disk moved like a living thing, transforming the surrounding chaotic energy into spiritual energy for her to breathe.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Chu Mochen suddenly protected Yun Yao behind him. A pitch-black tentacle suddenly rose from the seawater and went straight for Yun Yao's back. The shadow of the halberd in Chu Mochen's hand emerged and chopped the tentacle into pieces, but more tentacles came like a tide.

Yun Yao took a deep breath, mobilizing the spiritual energy of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm within her. The Heaven-Defying Fate Disk transformed into a golden barrier, blocking all tentacles. "No time to waste! The Pure World Lotus is just ahead." She pointed to a patch of soft white light in the distance. There, a massive lotus flower floated, each petal aglow with a rainbow of colors.

As they approached the Pure World Lotus, a strange scene unfolded. Each petal reflected a different image, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's future unfolded within each. They watched as Chu Mochen shielded her from the Immortal Emperor's attack, while they clutched his cooling body, weeping beneath the starry sky. They also watched as she transcended the Rule Realm but lost all her memories, wandering alone in the eternal universe...

"These are all possible futures." Yun Yao's voice trembled, "But I will never let them become reality."

"Host, please note that the Pure World Lotus needs to be watered with the blood of twin souls, otherwise it will trigger 'Heaven's backlash'." The system's prompt sounded at the right time.

Chu Mochen cut his palm without hesitation, blood dripping onto the lotus heart. Yun Yao followed suit, but when her blood merged with Chu Mochen's, a strange transformation occurred. A golden dragon pattern emerged from her blood, a mark unique to the "Hongmeng Divine Body"!

The lotus suddenly blossomed, and in the pistil lay two "Destiny Star Jade Slips", one of which was engraved with Yun Yao's name, and the other... the three words "Chu Mochen" were crossed out and replaced with "Battle Halberd".

"This is..." Yun Yao was about to pick up the jade slip when the entire Sea of No Return suddenly shook violently. A massive black shadow rose from the seabed. It was a chaotic giant beast resembling an octopus. Each of its tentacles was inlaid with countless human faces, including Liu Yan'er's!

"Yun Yao, hand over the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk!" The beast's voice was like thunder, and Liu Yan'er's face was twisted and distorted by its tentacles. "You think you can save him by getting the Pure World Lotus? How naive!"

Chu Mochen gripped his halberd tightly, the Candle Dragon blood boiling within him, his entire body covered in dragon scales. "Yao'er, just take the lotus, I'll take care of this monster!" He leaped forward and charged at the beast.

Yun Yao knew she couldn't be distracted at this moment, so she concentrated and tried to pick up the Fate Star Jade Slip. However, the moment her hand touched the jade slip, a powerful suction force came over her, pulling her consciousness into a strange space.

It was pitch black here, with only Chu Mochen's voice echoing: "Yao'er, I'm sorry..."

"Chu Mochen! Where are you?" Yun Yao shouted loudly.

"In this life, I still failed to protect you..." His voice was full of pain and unwillingness.

Yun Yao felt an ominous premonition and frantically searched for Chu Mochen. Suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of her. She ran over and saw Chu Mochen lying on the ground covered in blood, and the Chaos Beast was about to give him the final blow!

"No!" Yun Yao tried to rush forward, but found herself unable to move. At this moment, the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate on her chest burst into a dazzling light, and a familiar power awakened within her—the "Prior Life Heavenly Saint Authority" she had gained at the Demonic Barrier!

Her hair instantly turned white, and a golden seal with the same pattern as the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate appeared between her brows. She raised her hand and a "time rewind" was triggered. However, this time rewind was unusual. Not only did she return to the moment when Chu Mochen was about to be attacked, she also witnessed a shocking truth—the Chaos Beast was actually sealing the soul of another Chu Mochen!

"What's going on?" Yun Yao looked at the sealed soul in shock.

"That is the original soul of the War Halberd God, and the true source of Chu Mochen's Candle Dragon bloodline." The system's voice was unusually serious. "In order to control Chu Mochen, the Chaos Demon Sect sealed his original soul within the body of a giant beast. Once he fully awakens, he will become a puppet of the Demon Sect."

Yun Yao felt her worldview completely overturned. Chu Mochen's fate was even more complicated than she had imagined. She clenched her fists, a determined glint in her eyes: "I won't let them succeed!"

She cast "Time Rewind" once again, this time aiming for the seal within the Chaos Beast. A powerful force struck the seal, and the beast roared in pain, its tentacles flailing wildly. Chu Mochen seized the opportunity, transforming the shadow of his halberd into a golden blade of light, slashing at the beast's head.

At this moment, Liu Yan'er's face separated from the giant beast's tentacles and turned into a black mist, rushing towards Yun Yao: "The Heaven-Defying Fate Plate is mine!"

Yun Yao dodged to the side, and the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk automatically protected its master. A causal light shield repelled the black mist. "Liu Yan'er, how long will you continue to be so stubborn?"

A sneer rang out from the black fog. "Stubborn? I'm just taking back what's mine! Do you really think you can change your fate? Let me tell you, from the moment you traveled through time, you've been caught up in a huge conspiracy!"

Yun Yao's heart trembled, but she didn't have time to ponder the implications of Liu Yan'er's words. She had to rescue Chu Mochen's original soul first. She took a deep breath, channeling all her spiritual energy into the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of her twin soul fires.

"Open it for me!" She cried out, and the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk transformed into a golden beam of light, charging straight into the seal within the Chaos Beast. The seal cracked under the powerful impact, and Chu Mochen's original soul slowly floated out.

However, just as its soul was about to escape from the beast, a black chain suddenly appeared, pulling it back in. "Want to leave? Not so easy!" a sinister voice rang out, and the leader of the Chaos Demon Sect appeared.

The sect leader looked at Yun Yao, a greedy glint in his eyes: "You are worthy of being the holder of the destiny disk that defies heaven. You can actually come this far. However, your journey should also end." He raised his hand and waved it. A black vortex appeared and sucked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen in.

When Yun Yao opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar space. It was filled with chains and runes. Chu Mochen was chained to a central stone pillar, unconscious. The leader of the Chaos Demon Sect stood nearby, holding a black sphere containing Chu Mochen's original soul.

"Welcome to the Chaos Cage, Yun Yao." The Sect Master said proudly, "Here, you will witness Chu Mochen's soul being completely devoured, and you will also become our sacrifice to resurrect the Ancient God of Chaos."

Yun Yao looked around, searching for a way to escape. She noticed a resemblance between the runes on the stone pillar and the patterns on the Destiny-Defying Disk, and an idea suddenly occurred to her. She secretly mobilized the power of the Destiny-Defying Disk, attempting to decipher the runes.

"You think you can escape like this? How naive." The Sect Master seemed to see through her thoughts. "These runes are carved with the essence of chaos. Unless you can master the power of the Rule Realm, there is no way to decipher them."

Yun Yao ignored him and continued to concentrate. She thought of the inheritance she had gained in the Hongmeng Secret Realm and the seventeen reincarnations she had experienced with Chu Mochen. A strong belief surged in her heart: no matter what, she would not give up!

At this moment, the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate on her chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the patterns on the plate resonated with the runes on the stone pillar. "This is..." The Sect Master's face changed drastically. "Impossible! How could you comprehend the power of the Rule Realm in such a short time!"

Yun Yao didn't answer, her eyes gleaming with the light of law. She raised her hand and waved it, a golden force of law striking the stone pillar, instantly shattering the runes. Chu Mochen's body fell from the stone pillar, and Yun Yao flew forward to catch him.

"Yao'er..." Chu Mochen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and emotion.

"Let's go home." Yun Yao said softly.

However, their escape wasn't so smooth. The Chaos Demon Sect's leader attacked again, and countless chaotic creatures emerged from the black vortex, surrounding them. Yun Yao protected Chu Mochen behind her, the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk in her hand radiating a brilliant light.

"Come on!" Her voice was full of majesty. "Today, I will put an end to your conspiracy here!"

A thrilling battle unfolds within the Chaos Cage. Can Yun Yao and Chu Mochen escape successfully and completely destroy the Chaos Demon Sect's conspiracy? And what exactly is the huge conspiracy that Liu Yan'er mentioned? All the answers will be revealed in the following adventure.
