Chapter 591: The Abyss Sovereign's Astonishment

And at the same time as the Space Lockdown, the numerous accompanying Interstellar Media Interview Ships also fell into a state of bewilderment.

Although their Spaceships were not warships, they still had basic detection functions. The Spatial Coefficient being locked down meant that they also couldn't enter the Jump State.

These experienced Interstellar Media Journalists naturally knew this was a prelude to an ambush.

And Li Yu's subsequent Mental Fluctuation sweeping across the Starry Sky verified their guesses.

"Abyss Sovereign? Who is the Abyss Sovereign? So bold, to actually dare to ambush Li Yu?"

"I even thought it was the Benfir Civilization..."

"Idiot, how could the Benfir Civilization possibly have this courage and Strength."

The numerous interviewing journalists discussed animatedly. Although they were somewhat terrified at first, they still subconsciously had the cameramen start working.

Quantum Communication had already been intercepted. Only Shortwave, meaning broadcast channels, could be used.

However, as long as they didn't die, these news items would eventually see the light of day, and at that time, they would have immense value.

What these journalists feared the most wasn't death, but surviving while their Camera USB Drive was destroyed.

"Everyone, how about we retreat..." Someone suggested:

"No matter who it is, since they dare to ambush, they must be fully prepared. If a fight breaks out later, no one will care about us."

"Old Black's Universe Chat..." Someone retrieved the identity of the person speaking and found that the other party was from an Independent Media organization.

"So it's an Independent Media, no wonder you're so cowardly." Someone sneered, "Firsthand news is our life. Leaving now would be too foolish."

That person was choked back and immediately stopped talking, only their Spaceship gradually flying towards the periphery.

"I remember now, this Abyss Sovereign, could it be the Leader of the Abyss Institute?" Someone suddenly spoke up, sounding exceptionally excited:

"Last time, the Abyss Institute was directly beaten until they retreated from the interstellar stage. Could it be they're here for revenge this time?"

"Damn, the Leader of the Abyss Institute is a Tier A5 Lifeform. When was the last recorded battle at this level?"

"He's coming, he's coming!" A journalist reminded, and everyone focused their gaze on the suddenly appearing black-robed lifeform.

After that, the conversation between the two didn't use loudspeakers; their Mental Fluctuations could only be received by each other.

"It really is him! Six-Eyed Star Spirit. Our Chairman of the Board once mentioned in passing that an ordinary Star Spirit only has two eyes, but he possesses six eyes; he's a rare Variant Body!"

A rather deep voice suppressed its excitement. Everyone retrieved the audio source and found it was a Spaceship from the Voice of the Starry Universe. This was a famous Interstellar Media in the interstellar space, and everyone immediately trusted it a bit more.

"We indeed didn't come in vain this time!" The numerous journalists were very excited. Although it wasn't a live broadcast, they had already set up their stances.

For blockbuster news of this level, as long as they could get out alive, what awaited them would be extremely considerable profits.

"It's said that Li Yu also has a Tier A5 Mechanical Entity by his side. This battle will be recorded in the interstellar annals!" A journalist said categorically.

"They started!"

An exclamation came as the Abyss Sovereign launched his attack, and the numerous journalists also started recording.

"Everyone..."

"...Citizens..."

"...Behind us right now..."

Meanwhile, the professional writers' inspiration flowed like a burst bladder, typing out standard interstellar characters one by one on their Smart Terminals.

"Eh, why didn't Li Yu summon that advanced Mechanical Body?" Someone noticed something amiss.

However, before his words even fell, the initial clash between Li Yu and the Abyss Sovereign concluded.

The Silver-White Thunder was like a sharp blade slicing open the curtain of the Starry Universe. The trace of the light arc continuously reflected on everyone's retinas.

At this moment, the scene seemed to freeze. Everyone present, including the High Echelon of The Forerunners watching the live battle through remote equipment, were all stunned!

In the dead silent conference room, the projections of numerous High Echelon of The Forerunners were gathered here, yet they bizarrely fell into silence, staring fixedly at the screen before them.

"That... who was the one flying backwards?" A High Echelon member asked in disbelief.

"I didn't clearly see who flew out, I only know that the one standing in place is Li Yu..." Another person said silently.

The atmosphere once again descended into a bizarre silence.

The lights on the Interview Ships flickered erratically and shook violently. Even the communication signals became somewhat unstable. This was the effect of being caught in the Residual Energy of the battle.

If these journalists hadn't been relatively far away and only suffered minor Impacts, there would be a possibility of these Interview Ships exploding on the spot.

It was just that none of the journalists present had any intention of retreating.

Because they knew that a piece of news sufficient to shake the Interstellar Landscape was already in their hands.

They had even already thought of the news Headline--

"Changing the Interstellar Landscape: Li Yu instantly kills A5 Abyss Sovereign!"

Li Yu naturally wasn't naive enough to think he had instantly killed the Abyss Sovereign with a casual strike.

As the residual waves of Thunder and Gray Energy dissipated, the Abyss Sovereign's mutilated Corporeal Form drifted in the Starry Sky. However, accompanied by a burst of Distorted Ripples, his body quickly repaired itself, soon returning to its basic shape.

It was just that some injuries still remained on his body.

Like the Purple Energy Pit on his forehead that directly blasted away two of his eyes, and the Diagonal Arc Slash on his chest where Gray Energy tumbled within.

Even he couldn't completely recover these injuries. Severe pain and numbness transmitted from half of his body, making it difficult for him to think calmly.

But all physical pain could hardly compare to the shock in his heart.

"How could this guy's Strength reach this level!?" The remaining four eyes of the Abyss Sovereign revealed the same horrified emotion.

How long had it been since the battle for the Light-Shadow Dimension last time? How did this guy's Strength explosively increase to this extent?

"Moreover... he even has this terrifying ability..." The Abyss Sovereign's expression was grave. He had just influenced his own time, forcibly reverting to when he wasn't injured.

But what astonished him was that the injuries on his body didn't recover along with it. Only the other areas blown apart by the Residual Energy barely repaired themselves.

Severe pain still swept through his nerves, making it hard for him to understand.

The injuries Li Yu left behind could actually be exempt from the Influence of Time!?

One could even say this ability shocked him far more than the improvement in Li Yu's Strength.

His Superpower could influence time. Although not an unlimited influence, it still gave him super strong endurance, which was one of his advantages.

But this ability of Li Yu's completely rendered this advantage useless. One could even call it the nemesis of most advanced lifeforms.

After reaching this level, terrifying Recovery Ability was originally an advantage brought by the lifeform tier.

But Li Yu's ability completely obliterated this advantage. This meant that in the future, no one could fight a Protracted Battle against Li Yu.

This ability naturally originated from the [Power of Ash], a gift from a dead Super Titan, which would leave indelible wounds on the target.

"How did you do that?" The Abyss Sovereign's inner Apprehension was maxed out. He vigilantly stared at Li Yu in front of him, not daring to underestimate him anymore, completely treating him as an enemy of the same tier.

"Did what?" Li Yu asked back.

"Your Strength..." The Abyss Sovereign was delaying time, trying every means to secretly recover his injuries.

"Very simple..." Li Yu shrugged: "Just do a hundred push-ups every day and constantly break past your limits."

"Right, have you delayed enough time?" He suddenly smiled.

The Abyss Sovereign was horrified, and his body instantly vanished from where he was. The Space Lockdown was originally to prevent Li Yu from escaping or enemies from providing long-range support.

But now it also became an environmental factor restricting the Abyss Sovereign. Distorted Space, then launching attacks, was originally an important attack method of his.

But now he couldn't execute it. Li Yu's figure blurred and closely followed behind him. With the [Infinity Gauntlet] in hand, he locked onto the Abyss Sovereign's position at all times.

The Abyss Sovereign's face was ugly. Originally, he was supposed to stall the Mechanical Body named Death Star, and then wait for Istrala's arrival to secure the victory.

The result was that he was now being chased all over by Li Yu instead.

Wanting to crush me with this Strength, aren't you taking things too much for granted!

His remaining four eyes bloomed with a cold light. His figure suddenly stopped, and he turned around to clash!

The energy collision formed a massive vortex. The Electric Arcs blooming from the Weapon clash distorted the space, but it was forcibly corrected again.

The Abyss Sovereign wielded a peculiar Flowing Light Weapon, resembling a black curved hook. A large number of Chains coiled around his arm, connecting to the curved hook at the end, looking very bizarre.

However, Li Yu didn't underestimate it at all. A Weapon that the Abyss Sovereign could take out at this point was definitely not simple.

The Abyss Sovereign swung the curved hook, kicking up circles of visible Energy Shockwaves that swept across the Starry Universe, forcing those Interview Ships to retreat a very long distance once again.

Clang!

The black curved hook attacked with a special trajectory. Li Yu blocked it horizontally with his hand. The energy impact carried by the curved hook stimulated a large area of Electric Arcs on his [Symbiotic Bio-Armor], flickering continuously.

Li Yu's gaze grew deep. He clenched his fist and twisted. The energy light flashed, forcefully deflecting the curved hook.

However, the black curved hook suddenly vibrated and shook out phantoms. Aided by the Chains, it converted the deflected force into propulsive force. It had only been deflected halfway when it immediately stopped.

Changing direction, it slashed over again with an even faster speed, its power even stronger. The hook blade attacked the vital points of his body. This bizarre Weapon was very difficult to defend against.

The black curved hook carried terrifying energy, with black Electric Arcs highly compressed on the hook blade, flickering continuously.

As the curved hook spun, circles of black energy coiled around it, looking like a whirlpool of black water ripples.

Warning bells instantly rang in Li Yu's heart. The Abyss Sovereign's Combat Power Level was definitely higher than his. Just now, he only took advantage of the Abyss Sovereign's relaxed posture, coupled with various abilities, to catch the other party Caught off guard.

If he naively thought he possessed a crushing stance, then he wouldn't be far from death.

The Abyss Sovereign only gathered momentum for an instant. The next moment, his figure suddenly blurred, accelerating instantly.

The Chains thrust out, fast enough to blur, as if turning into a black light ray, quickly winding around Li Yu's body.

Li Yu blocked with the [Infinity Gauntlet], and the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] generated a dazzling golden sun Shield.

The Chains were like pythons, trying to tightly wrap around Li Yu, but were blocked outside by the sun Shield, bursting out a large amount of sparks under continuous contraction.

However, the black curved hook was like the head of a poisonous snake. The hook body violently blasted away the [Infinity Gauntlet], then rapidly contracted again, the hook blade aiming straight at Li Yu's head!

Bang!

Purple light flashed. Li Yu forcibly gripped the black hook body tightly, making it unable to advance an inch, stopping right in front of him.

However, the black energy compressed on the hook blade shot out violently. The Light Beam was small and wreathed in black Electric Arcs, but it emitted a terrifying Aura.

It came straight for his face. Li Yu's pupils shrank, and the Blazing Sun Bulwark activated.

In an instant, a dazzling golden Shield formed in front of him, its light as bright as a small sun.

Boom!

The powerful energy bombardment exploded before his eyes. The surrounding space completely collapsed, and bizarre, colorful hues emerged, causing everyone who saw it to feel a sense of dizziness.

Space Halo — one of the permanent traumas left behind by an energy collision exceeding the limits of what the Starry Sky could endure.

The two of them used this energy impact to pull apart. Li Yu clenched his fists, waves of heat coursing through his body. The Royal Blood Titan's Gene Chain had already begun to take effect, causing waves of fighting intent to surge within him.

The Abyss Sovereign, on the other hand, felt somewhat relieved. Judging from the head-on clash just now, although Li Yu's Strength had improved to an unimaginable degree, there was still a gap between him and himself.

He had been a Tier A5 Lifeform for a long time, and his Combat Power Level exceeded 200 million.

In other words, he wouldn't be defeated, at the very least.

This made him sigh in relief, yet at the same time feel a sense of humiliation.

One must know, he was the one who came to ambush!

………

Meanwhile, the secretly ambushing Forerunner members were completely bewildered. Various alarms rang out in the main Command Center.

The Space Blocking Devices were operating overloaded, and several had already broken down.

"An unexpected change occurred in the plan. The target's Strength has undergone an unimaginable improvement. The Abyss Sovereign will find it difficult to take him down in a short time."

"Has Istrala not arrived yet!?"

"..."

Numerous Staff Members were frantically asking questions at their consoles. The data analysis pages on the screens were already maxed out across the board.

They would never have thought, even if beaten to death, that the Abyss Sovereign they placed high hopes on would be injured by Li Yu right at the start, and now they were in a prolonged stalemate.

"Commander, Headquarters replied, telling us to hold on a bit longer. Istrala will arrive immediately!"

"It's just that, according to the analysis, the probability of the ambush plan failing has already reached 80%..."

"You f*cking..." The Commander cursed angrily, turning around and kicking the person who spoke, sending him flying far away. He shouted: "Who asked you to calculate the probability of failure!?"
