Abyssal Chronicles

For the past few hundred years, to ensure the trials proceeded smoothly, Yumo had been consistently limiting the combat abilities of the Abyssal demons. She restricted not only their numbers but also the battle strength of her own children.

After all, if the Abyssal demons were too powerful and devoured all living beings on the Ancita continent in one swoop, how would she train the chosen ones?

In earlier years, Youlan, Pierre, and Kalina directly absorbed her pure primordial energy to become Demon King-level Abyssals. Later, Limo, Liyu, and others received diluted primordial energy.

Although more stable with higher conversion success rates, their overall strength decreased considerably.

And now? Without trial restrictions, Yumo had no reason to limit her children's power anymore.

Simply by granting them higher concentrations of primordial blood—her own power—she could further enhance her children's strength.

Limo, Liyu, and the other children could easily reach the peak of Lv8 with the power of primordial blood.

As for Youlan and others who were already at the peak of Lv8 and exploring the Lv9 threshold, they could break through to that most formidable realm just by obtaining a portion of her primordial power.

Therefore, Yumo didn't hesitate to pierce her own chest, releasing her primordial blood.

The next moment, Yumo slowly raised her hand, extending her finger stained with primordial blood toward them.

"Here, children, don't waste it~"

Faced with Yumo's direct action, even Youlan couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.

But quickly, the children obediently gathered around.

For Abyssal demons, pursuing great power was their nature. Moreover, Yumo's aura had a powerful allure and attraction for Abyssals, especially her children.

The primordial blood containing rich Shadow power was even more enticing.

Because of this, the moment Yumo's primordial blood spilled, both Youlan and Kalina flushed and eagerly gathered around Yumo.

Fortunately, Yumo had temporarily sent away the nearby Abyssal demons. Otherwise, she would have been surrounded by countless demons.

...

Kalina, who had rushed to Yumo's side, guided by intense desire and no longer concerned with knightly etiquette, immediately took Yumo's finger into her mouth without hesitation.

She greedily sucked on it.

Meanwhile, little Youlan was even bolder. She hung directly on Yumo's neck, extending her tongue to lick and suck the primordial blood flowing from the wound.

In that moment, quite a sensual scene unfolded on the cold snowy ground.

Pipi, standing nearby, was stunned for a few seconds before his face reddened slightly. He then mustered his courage and approached. Although he constantly muttered about being independent, Pipi still hoped to be more intimate with his Mother when given the chance.

Unfortunately, her mom held grudges.

She still remembered Pipi's earlier threat to spank her.

Therefore, before Pierre could reach Yumo's side, an indescribable elongated object suddenly attacked!

With lightning speed, it inserted itself directly into Pipi's mouth, immediately stopping his next move.

This object was none other than the feather duster, which had transformed back from its sword form to its normal state!

"There's some on this too, don't waste it," Yumo said flatly.

"Mmmmph!!!!!!" (That's not fair!!!! I want to lick too!!!)

With his mouth stuffed, Pipi protested vigorously.

Not only him, but the feather duster was equally disgruntled...

Baka master, I was meant for spanking!

Not for... this!

...

However, after protesting for a short while, Pipi quieted down. As the terrifying power surged in, the power within Pipi's body began to churn, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Clearly, under the stimulation of Yumo's powerful blood, Pipi's physical body began to enter an evolutionary stage.

Just like when Yuan'er advanced, Pipi inevitably fell into slumber during his evolution.

Not only Pipi, but Youlan and Kalina were the same.

However, unlike Pipi who collapsed directly onto the snow, Youlan and Kalina fell straight into Yumo's embrace when overcome by drowsiness.

The difference in treatment was truly heaven and earth...

It was truly tearjerking...

Patting the heads of the two in her arms, Yumo softly said, "Do your best."

As soon as she spoke, rich crimson Shadow power rapidly spread from Yumo as the center, immediately enveloping the three children.

With the dancing of blood-colored butterflies and the rippling of Shadow power, the three children were soon encased in red crystalline cocoons, floating silently in mid-air.

Gazing at her sleeping son and daughters within the crystals, Yumo couldn't help but reveal a smile of satisfaction.

"As expected of my children, they adapt well to my power... This way, when they awaken, they should be able to reach that level."

Yumo's words carried a trace of excitement and pride.

However, before she could feel excited for long, Yumo felt a wave of dizziness, and her vision became blurry.

Clearly, to help her three children break through, Yumo had consumed too much primordial blood, making her body unprecedentedly weak.

Nevertheless, Yumo wasn't worried about her physical condition.

With her powerful recovery abilities, she could return to peak condition in just over a month. And her children would probably take two months to complete their transformation.

It was indeed time-consuming, but Yumo found it acceptable.

After all, this was the trial space, where time flowed much slower than the outside world.

Here, she had ample time to prepare.

"Heh, heh heh, heh heh heh~"

After letting out an eerie, sinister laugh, Yumo's consciousness disconnected from her body. Her delicate figure swayed in the cold wind a few times before suddenly falling backward.

But Yumo didn't fall onto the snow. Instead, she fell into the arms of a silver-haired girl.

"Rest well, Sister."

Holding the weakened Yumo in a princess carry, Mengxi sighed with both exasperation and affection:

"Geez, Sister is really... I told her to do them one by one, which would have been fine. But she insisted on doing all three at once, and now she's fainted like this? Sigh..."

Mengxi muttered to herself.

Her self-talk soon received a response from another man behind her.

"Although Lady Yumo's parents and sister are just bait, and the enemy won't harm them, having her loved ones in the hands of such a disgusting fellow is undoubtedly constantly aggravating Lady Yumo. I imagine Lady Yumo wants to end this farce as quickly as possible."

"That may be so, but she still needs to take care of her body... Depleting soul power and blood essence puts too much strain on the body."

"Indeed."

Xiao nodded in agreement.

At the same time, this Black Rose Duke couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze toward Mengxi.

"Why are you helping Lady Yumo? Your mother is the Holy Maiden. By your position, shouldn't you be helping the Alliance?"

"Well~"

Mengxi smiled slightly, tilting her head nonchalantly:

"Because I think this is better for Sister. Besides... it's more interesting this way~"

"You..."

Xiao's eyebrow twitched, momentarily at a loss for words.

But after a brief silence, Xiao asked another serious question:

"But according to you, the Sky Nation is at the World Tree's Heart. How will you take Lady Yumo to such a heavily guarded place? Even if Lady Yumo can hide her identity with the Deception Veil, what about Youlan and the others?"

"Oh, I have my ways~"

"What ways?"

"Hey, Xiao, aren't you forgetting something very serious?"

"What?"

"While Sister Yumo is so beautiful, so cute and soft, delicate and easy to push over... her true form... is actually a massive palace~"
