Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 441 The Secret of the Core of Thick Earth and the Ancient Seal

Zhang Peng and his group, carrying the Soul of Green Wood, headed towards their next destination—the Thick Earth Mountains. As they approached, the air thickened with the earthy smell, and the surrounding landscape gradually became desolate, with massive, exposed rocks resembling the spine of the earth. The ground was rugged and uneven, each step fraught with difficulty; the sand and gravel beneath their feet scraped against the soles of their shoes, creating a faint sound that added to the tense atmosphere.

"The environment of this Thick Earth Mountain Range is so harsh, it seems that finding the Core of Thick Earth will not be easy." Murong Yu frowned as he looked at the scene before him. He gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand slightly, and the blade swayed gently with his movements, reflecting a cold light.

Zhang Peng channeled the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, forming a faint protective aura around himself, while simultaneously diverting his power to buff his companions. His gaze warily swept across the surroundings, not missing a single corner that might conceal danger. "Everyone be careful, the spiritual energy fluctuations here are very unstable; it seems a powerful force is dormant."

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, her nimble fingers slightly curved, ready to play a sonic attack to defend against enemies. A hint of tension flickered in her eyes, but more so, unwavering determination. "No matter what we encounter, we'll face it together."

As they stepped into the core area of ​​the Thick Earth Mountains, a colossal mountain peak loomed before them. Constructed entirely of thick rock, it exuded an ancient yet powerful aura. Halfway up the mountain, a massive cave lay, its entrance shrouded in a thick layer of earthen-yellow light, faintly revealing fluctuations of mysterious power.

“That cave might contain the core of the earth,” Zhang Peng said, pointing to the cave.

They cautiously approached the cave, and just as they reached the entrance, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and a gigantic rock beast emerged from the earth. Its body was made of hard rock, its limbs were thick and powerful, and every step it took made the earth tremble. Its huge red eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"This is the Thick Earth Rock Demon, its strength is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly cast "Law Prison," enveloping the three of them within it. The Thick Earth Rock Demon swung its enormous rock arms, smashing them towards the cage. Each strike carried immense force, and the cage shook violently under the impact, its light flickering erratically, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," its sword energy crisscrossing as he attempted to withstand the Thick Earth Rock Demon's attack. "This Rock Demon's power is too strong! Our cage can't hold on much longer!" he shouted, fine beads of sweat glistening in the sunlight on his forehead.

Liu Ruoli played a "Sonic Chaos Shield," the sound waves merging with the power of the cage to maintain its stability. Her fingers moved rapidly across the jade flute, producing quick and powerful notes, attempting to disrupt the Earth Demon's movements. "I'll try interfering with it using sound waves!"

Zhang Peng focused his mind, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the Earth Rock Demon. Under the detection of the Chaos Law, he discovered that the core of the Earth Rock Demon was in its abdomen, where there was an energy point emitting a faint light. "Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, attack its abdominal core!" he shouted.

The three immediately adjusted their attack direction. Zhang Peng unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," gathering the power of the chaotic laws into a giant chaotic sword, slashing towards the abdomen of the Thick Earth Rock Demon with a world-destroying momentum. Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Gentle Breeze Sword," "Gentle Breeze Chaotic Annihilation," with a sword aura containing boundless power following closely behind. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaotic Storm," and the sound waves transformed into powerful energy, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the Thick Earth Rock Demon.

Under the combined attack of the three, the core light in the abdomen of the Earth Demon flickered erratically. It let out a painful roar and its body began to sway. However, just when they thought they were about to win, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation of dark spiritual energy coming from afar.

"Oh no, the mysterious organization is here again!" As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-robed men surrounded him from all directions. The leader of the black-robed men exuded a terrifying aura of the early stage of the Integration Realm and held a magic wand that emitted a black light in his hand.

"Zhang Peng, your good luck has run out. Hand over the spiritual objects and the core of the thick earth that you have found, or you will all die!" the black-robed leader said coldly.

Zhang Peng sneered, "If you want the spiritual treasure, then take it with your own skill!" While fighting the Earth Rock Demon, he warily kept an eye on the black-robed man. At this moment, the black-robed man suddenly unleashed a strange spell, injecting a surge of dark spiritual power into the Earth Rock Demon's body. The Earth Rock Demon's power instantly increased, and its attacks became even more ferocious.

"Damn it, they're manipulating things again!" Murong Yu shouted angrily.

Zhang Peng focused his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to try to sever the connection between the black-robed man and the Earth Rock Demon. Under the influence of the Chaos Law, the black-robed man's spiritual energy fluctuations became briefly disordered, and the Earth Rock Demon's attack rhythm was also disrupted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," repelling one of the black-robed figures. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves struck the group of black-robed individuals, slowing their movements.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, an ancient and mysterious voice suddenly echoed from the cave, and a beam of earth-yellow light shot out from the cave, striking the Earth Rock Demon. Under the impact of the light, the Earth Rock Demon's body gradually calmed down, and the dark spiritual energy on its body was dispelled.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly emerged from the cave. It was a giant made of pure earth element, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"Why have you outsiders trespassed into my territory?" The giant's voice echoed through the valley like the rumble of the earth.

Zhang Peng quickly said, "Senior, we are here to find the core of the thick earth, to reseal a mysterious power, and to save the cultivation world. But these black-robed men have repeatedly obstructed us and even tried to steal the spiritual treasures."

The giant glanced at the man in black robes, then at Zhang Peng and the others, and slowly said, "I have also sensed that mysterious power. If it gets out of control, the entire cultivation world will face disaster. I can give you this core of thick earth, but you must promise me that you will successfully seal it."

After speaking, a crystal radiating a rich, earthy-yellow light appeared in the giant's hand; it was the Core of Thick Earth. Zhang Peng carefully took the Core of Thick Earth and sensed the powerful energy contained within it.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men's faces darkened: "Hmph, you think you've won just because you've obtained the Core of Thick Earth? This is only temporary, we'll be back!" With that, he led the black-robed men and quickly fled.

Zhang Peng and the others bowed in gratitude to the giant, then continued their journey to find the Chaos Crystal, carrying the Core of Thick Earth. They knew the mysterious organization would not give up easily, and the search for the Chaos Crystal might become even more difficult…
