Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 221: The Abyssal Queen

The appearance of the middle-aged man on the battlefield instantly boosted the morale of the Changheng garrison.

“Reinforcements have arrived!”

The man was none other than Chu Hengtian, the younger brother of Chu Sitian, and a Level 75 SS-ranked Crimson Lotus Sword Saint. He was not only the second-in-command of the Chu family but also the supreme commander of the Changheng Military District.

Behind him stood a group of powerful Chu family elites, each a warrior of at least Level 60, individuals whose very presence radiated immense power. Their appearance on the battlefield was a testament to the Chu family’s terrifying foundation.

For three centuries, the Chu family had stood as the vanguard against the Abyss. Though they resided far from the imperial center, their status and influence had steadily grown, now ranking among the top three most powerful families in the Empire.

But their adversaries were no less formidable.

Behind Infernal Warlord Mygos, the Abyssal Rift split further, and more powerful Abyssal Lords emerged—each a towering nightmare staring down the Chu family’s strongest warriors.

The battlefield was now set, the tension like a drawn blade, moments from clashing.

Chu Hengtian’s expression darkened. The situation was worse than expected.

The Abyssal army was far stronger than previous incursions, but the worst part? Chu Sitian could not join the fight.

For years, his right arm had been tainted by Abyssal corruption, the result of an unknown force. Despite years of searching, the Chu family had yet to find a cure.

Very few people knew of this. The Empire’s major families had begun investigating, and if word got out, the consequences would be dire.

Political enemies would seize this opportunity, turning it into a major scandal—after all, if the leader of Changheng himself was infected, how could they trust his ability to command?

The threat within the Empire was sometimes greater than the threat of the Abyss itself.

Thus, Chu Sitian had remained in seclusion for years, fueling rumors and speculation. Even within Longxi Province, many had started questioning his whereabouts.

For now, Chu Hengtian had to lead the charge alone. But there was still one missing piece. The Abyssal Queen had yet to appear.

If she did, this battle could spiral into catastrophe. They could not allow the Abyss to break through Changheng!

Letting them pass would be a disaster—not just for the Empire, but for the Chu family itself. If they failed here, the imperial government wouldn’t even need to punish them—they would doom themselves.

But the question remained—why was Changheng’s power weakening? What was this mysterious force…?

Now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

The battle had begun.

The Abyssal Lords descended upon Changheng, their immense forms looming over the battlefield. Every attack unleashed explosions, each impact ripping apart the terrain and reducing entire battalions to smoldering craters.

Amidst the chaos, Infernal Warlord Mygos laughed, brandishing his infernal whip. With every swing, hellfire erupted, consuming everything in its path.

Chu Hengtian’s eyes turned sharp.

With a single step, Crimson Lotus Blooms materialized beneath him—each a manifestation of sword energy.

“Break!”

The lotus sword aura exploded, unleashing a storm of slashes that shredded through the Abyssal ranks, aiming directly for Mygos.

Yet, despite being ten levels lower, Mygos did not retreat.

Though only Level 65, his Abyssal bloodline granted him unparalleled resilience. Even if his body was destroyed, as long as a single Infernal Demon remained, he could be reborn.

He was virtually immortal.

“Hahaha!” Mygos roared, charging forward to meet Chu Hengtian head-on.

All around them, the strongest warriors of the Chu family clashed against the Abyssal Lords, their battles illuminating the night sky with devastating energy surges.

The sheer power unleashed by both sides tore through the battlefield, sending shockwaves that obliterated everything caught in between.

Soldiers—both human and demonic—were vaporized in the aftermath, leaving behind nothing but ashes and ruin.

“Where is the Abyssal Queen!?” Chu Hengtian demanded.

Mygos grinned, his voice filled with mockery, “Oh, you mean Her Majesty?”

His fiery eyes flickered with sadistic amusement.

“She already bypassed Changheng. By now, she should be at the Divine Revelation Trial.”

“What!?” Chu Hengtian’s expression changed instantly.

The Abyssal Queen had already crossed Changheng!? Impossible!

Changheng was designed to be inescapable, a complete blockade against the Abyss. There should have been no way to bypass it.

But if Mygos was telling the truth…

Then every young prodigy in the Divine Revelation Trial was in danger.

If the Abyssal Queen began hunting them down, the consequences would be beyond disastrous.

Meanwhile, at the Divine Revelation Trial

The battle at Changheng had not yet reached the Trial’s participants.

After all, the Trial was conducted in an isolated space, and none of the young prodigies had reason to worry.

To them, Changheng was an impenetrable fortress. For centuries, not a single Abyssal army had ever broken through.

Thus, they focused solely on the Trial, each striving to achieve the highest rankings possible.

And at the top stood one name—Qin Xian.

He had already completed the Trial. Not only that, but he had broken records, achieving a Seven-Star Rating—a feat unmatched in history.

The second-place contender was still stuck in the second phase, struggling through the Divine Battlefield.

By now, Qin Xian had reunited with his sister, Qin Li.

Meanwhile, Yin Yingxin, who had performed exceptionally well, ranked seventh—having forged several new puppets during the Trial.

But at that moment, Qin Xian’s expression suddenly changed. A chilling presence washed over him, causing his body to instinctively tense.

A power far beyond anything he had sensed before was approaching the Divine Revelation Trial.

His eyes narrowed.

“This presence… who the hell is coming?”
