Chapter 428 The Turbulent Times of Chaos Valley and the Undercurrents on the Eve of the Final Battle
After the Lingxiao Pavilion's intensive preparations, the sealing team set off towards Chaos Valley. Along the way, everyone's expressions were solemn, and the atmosphere was oppressive. Zhang Peng rode a flying demonic beast radiating spiritual light, his gaze fixed on the distance, the power of chaotic laws flowing quietly within his body, constantly alert to any anomalies in his surroundings. Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli followed closely behind. Murong Yu's hand rested on the hilt of his sword, the blade trembling slightly, as if sensing the impending danger; Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.
As they approached Chaos Valley, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to become chaotic, with howling winds and flying sand and stones. Dark clouds covered the sky above Chaos Valley, the thick clouds rolling and surging like ink, with streaks of purple lightning flashing within them, emitting deafening roars.
“The aura of this Chaos Valley is so strange; the power of the Shadow Demon God has probably already infiltrated here.” Zhang Peng said solemnly, turning to the crowd, “Everyone must be on high alert and not let our guard down.”
Everyone nodded, channeling their spiritual energy to prepare for any eventuality. The moment they stepped into the Chaos Valley, a powerful sense of oppression washed over them, as if an invisible giant hand was trying to crush them.
"Such immense pressure!" exclaimed a disciple from the Qingyun Sect, his body trembling slightly and fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Zhang Peng channeled the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, forming a protective barrier around everyone to resist the oppressive force. "Everyone, stay calm, this is just the beginning." His voice was calm and firm, bringing a sense of reassurance to the group.
Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the Chaos Valley. "You think you can seal me with just three keys? You're delusional!" With the voice, a huge black figure slowly rose from the bottom of the valley—the phantom of the Shadow Demon God.
The phantom of the Shadow Demon God exuded a dense aura of darkness, his eyes flashing with blood-red light, revealing boundless evil and madness. "Today is your end!" he roared, waving his black staff, and a beam of black light shot towards the crowd.
Zhang Peng swiftly unleashed the "Law Cage," enveloping everyone within it. The black light struck the cage, producing a deafening roar, and the cage's light flickered violently, almost shattering.
"The power of this Shadow Demon God is even greater than we imagined!" Murong Yu gripped his longsword tightly, his expression tense.
Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Shield," the sound waves merging with the power of the cage to barely maintain its stability. "We can't be intimidated by his aura, we must hold on!" Her voice was soft, yet full of strength.
Zhang Peng focused his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the Shadow Demon God. He discovered that although the Shadow Demon God's phantom was powerful, it was not a physical entity; its power mainly came from the dark power leaking out after the seal loosened.
"Listen up, everyone! This is just a phantom of the Shadow Demon God. We need to find a way to weaken its power and then look for an opportunity to seal it away," Zhang Peng shouted.
Everyone nodded in agreement, unleashing powerful spells to attack the phantom of the Shadow Demon God. For a moment, magical light flashed, and shouts of battle shook the heavens. However, the Shadow Demon God's phantom was far too powerful; the attacks from the group caused negligible damage.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation of dark spiritual energy emanating from the depths of Chaos Valley. He was startled, realizing that it was likely the arrival of the mysterious organization.
"Oh no! The mysterious organization is here! They definitely want to sabotage us while we're fighting the Shadow Demon!" Zhang Peng shouted.
Sure enough, a moment later, a group of black-robed figures surrounded the Chaos Valley from all directions. The leader of the black-robed figures exuded a terrifying aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, and held a magic wand that emitted a black light in his hand.
"Zhang Peng, today is your death day!" the leader of the black-robed men said coldly. He waved his magic wand, and a black flame shot towards Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng swiftly unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Forms Break," the power of the chaotic laws coalescing into a gigantic chaotic sword that extinguished the black flames. "You evil bastards, none of you will escape today!" he roared.
Upon seeing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately unleashed their strongest techniques, attacking the group of men in black robes. Elites from other major sects also joined the battle, engaging in fierce combat with the men in black robes.
During the battle, Zhang Peng discovered that there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the black-robed man and the phantom of the Shadow Demon God. The black-robed man deliberately drew their attention, while the phantom of the Shadow Demon God seized the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.
"They're working together against us, we have to find a way to break this deadlock!" Zhang Peng shouted.
He concentrated his mind, using the power of the Chaos Laws to try and disrupt the connection between the black-robed man and the Shadow Demon God. Under the influence of the Chaos Laws, the black-robed man's attack rhythm was briefly disrupted, and the Shadow Demon God's phantom also paused slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," repelling a man in black robes. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves struck the phantom of the Shadow Demon God, causing his dark aura to dim slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed "Chaos Overlord's Sanction," a five-colored light descending from the sky, enveloping the phantom of the Shadow Demon God and some of the black-robed figures. Under the impact of the light, the phantom of the Shadow Demon God roared in pain, and the black-robed figures collapsed to the ground, incapacitated.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men's expression changed drastically. He knew that if this continued, their entire army would be wiped out. So, he waved his wand, creating a powerful barrier of darkness to block Zhang Peng and the others' attacks, and then led the remaining black-robed men to flee quickly.
Under Zhang Peng's attack, the phantom of the Shadow Demon God also became illusory. He let out an angry roar: "You wait, when I am truly free, I will destroy you all!" After saying that, the phantom gradually disappeared.
Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Although they had repelled the black-robed man and the phantom of the Shadow Demon God after this fierce battle, they had also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.
"We...successfully." Murong Yu said wearily, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Peng slowly stood up, looking into the depths of Chaos Valley, his heart filled with worry. "This is only a temporary victory. The seal on the Shadow Demon God could be completely broken at any time. We must complete the seal as soon as possible."
The group nodded and began searching for the sealing array's core within the Chaos Valley. They knew that the real challenge had only just begun…
