Chapter 1869: She Won!
The explosion shook virtually the entire northernmost region, and everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to it.
The ones that were most heavily affected were the abyssal emperors and sovereigns present. They were experiencing a type of fear that was originating from the very core of their being!
Massive turmoil had arisen in the abyssal plane, and it was so severe that it had affected the foundation of the entire plane!
An instant ago, they hadn’t completely realized what was happening; all they felt was this sense of overwhelming horror. However, in the instant after the inky-black space exploded, a sense of foreboding immediately welled up in their hearts.
Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear had already begun to greedily devour the extremely rich abyssal energy in the air without requiring any prompting from him.
Due to the massive number of abyssal creatures that had just perished and the abyssal passageway’s temporary inability to recover abyssal energy, the entire abyssal plane was in a state of turmoil, and there was an enormous amount of abyssal energy permeating through the air.
Due to the sudden massive influx of abyssal energy, the Golden Dragon Spear had become scorching hot to the touch.
Right at this moment, a figure appeared in the distant sky.
The silver light shining from her body seemed to be a little dim, and as she fully emerged before everyone, her aura seemed to be a little frail as well. However, the spear in her grasp was plunged deep into a body that was slowly shriveling up, and bursts of energy were being injected into her body.
She won! Tang Wulin was ecstatic to see this. If it weren’t for the threat of Demon Sovereign, he would’ve already rushed over to her and swept her up in a tight embrace.
Gu Yuena turned to face him, and even though her face was slightly pale, she gave him a gentle smile, revealing two rows of pristine white teeth.
Tang Wulin also smiled as he raised his Golden Dragon Spear and gave her a thumbs-up.
There was no need for verbal communication between the two of them; just a look was enough. In the next instant, Tang Wulin’s aura erupted forth like a tsunami wave; nothing could invigorate him more than seeing Gu Yuena defeat and kill the Spirit Sovereign.
Following Gu Yuena’s victory, he wouldn’t have to worry about her battle any longer, and the cause behind the massive tremors from the abyssal plane also became clear.
The Spirit Sovereign had been slain by Gu Yuena, and the second level of the abyssal plane had collapsed as a result, thereby causing such a violent change.
The collapse of the second abyssal level affected the foundation of the entire abyssal plane! In the instant that all of the Abyssal Spirit Dragons perished, the tables were instantly turned on the battlefield.
It could be said that Gu Yuena had just completed a monumental feat by killing the Spirit Sovereign, and it seemed to be a harbinger of good fortunes for the human army.
Demon Sovereign’s brows were tightly furrowed as she looked on with a stunned expression.
Tang Wulin had already given her a huge shock, yet now, Gu Yuena had also performed a miracle on the battlefield. It appeared that Gu Yuena was extremely taxed or perhaps had even been severely wounded, but for some reason, Demon Sovereign was struck by an overwhelming sense of unease at the sight of her.
The Spirit Sovereign had clearly already released all of the power that he had been concealing, and he had even trapped her within that space of his. In that instant, Demon Sovereign could sense that the divine sense released by the Spirit Sovereign was superior even to her own. However, in such a short time, the Spirit Sovereign had already been slain.
How was this possible? What exactly had happened during the course of that battle?
The powerful beings of the human army weren’t aware of exactly which level the Spirit Sovereign came from, but she certainly did!
In the abyssal plane, he was second only to the Holy Lord, and he was known as the abyssal plane’s beacon of wisdom.
Furthermore, he was the true commander of the abyssal army during this invasion, and no matter how Demon Sovereign thought about it, she simply couldn’t understand how the Spirit Sovereign had fallen so quickly without even being able to get away.
Surely the collapse of the second abyssal level was a loss so heavy that even the Holy Lord would be struggling to handle the repercussions.
Most importantly, how had that human devoured him! She was going to devour him for herself!
In her eyes, all of the abyssal creatures were going to act as sustenance for the Divine Realm that she was going to create, so she was both stunned and furious that the Spirit Sovereign had been killed by Gu Yuena.
Just the Spirit Sovereign alone was equivalent to a third of the abyssal army!
She cast a cold gaze toward Tang Wulin, and the purplish-golden aura around her instantly began to surge violently as she let loose a long cry before flying toward Tang Wulin like a speeding arrow.
Tang Wulin swept his Sea God’s Trident through the air in an arc in retaliation.
Tang Wulin was the only one buoyed by Gu Yuena’s miraculous feat; all of the powerful beings of the Spirit Pagoda were also letting loose thunderous cheers.
They didn’t know who the Spirit Sovereign was, but it was apparent to everyone that he was the most important commander of the abyssal army.
Without the Spirit Sovereign and those Abyssal Spirit Dragons, the overall power of the abyssal army would take a massive hit. Even more importantly, the one who had killed the Spirit Sovereign was their newly appointed chairwoman!
The only one who wasn’t pleased with this turn of events was Qiangu Dongfeng. How could he have been willing to hand over the position of chairman to Gu Yuena? Furthermore, after she became chairwoman, her attitude toward him had completely changed, and his own grandson was still following her around every day like a hopelessly enamored puppy.
Upon witnessing the power that Gu Yuena had displayed, particularly her Divine Origin realm spiritual power, Qiangu Dongfeng was completely astonished, and at the same time, he knew that he would most likely never be able to recover his position as chairman.
In addition to that, she had just killed the Spirit Sovereign, making the most important contribution on this battlefield out of anyone by far, and her status was instantly raised to unprecedented heights in both the military and the Spirit Pagoda.
This was naturally fantastic for the Spirit Pagoda; Gu Yuena had won over everyone with her heroic display and fortified the Spirit Pagoda’s position on the continent. Even Shrek Academy would have to give up on trying to exact revenge on the Spirit Pagoda; the most it would be able to do would be to target the Qiangu Family.
However, this wasn’t good news for Qiangu Dongfeng! The more power that Gu Yuena displayed, the more useless he would look as the last chairman.
However, it wasn’t like there was anything he could do about this. Right now, all he could do was heave a forlorn internal sigh.
Gu Yuena had concealed her own abilities far too well. He had always been aware that she was developing very quickly and was clearly a brilliant prodigy, but never did he think that she would leave him in the dust so quickly.
With her Divine Origin realm spiritual power and quasigod level combat prowess, even his own father would most likely be no match for her.
Only after becoming the chairwoman of the Spirit Pagoda did she display her true power, so it was clear that she had been plotting this for a long time.
If the human race could survive this ordeal, then the entire Spirit Pagoda would most likely undergo a massive revolution once she returned.
Qiangu Dongfeng had thought that Gu Yuena would only be a puppet chairwoman that he could control, and that once they returned to the Spirit Pagoda, he would be able to assume control once again from the shadows. He didn’t even mind allowing her to continue as chairwoman; as long as she followed all of his instructions, what difference did it make?
However, all of this was nothing more than a distant dream now. It was clear that he had been far too optimistic.
Gu Yuena’s performance had already drawn all of the powerful beings of the Spirit Pagoda to her side, and it was clear that he had already been completely undermined.
