Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 379 Crisis and Hope in the Sealed Land

As the fog dissipated, a deep, dark passage appeared before them, its walls shimmering with strange light, seemingly telling ancient stories. Zhang Peng and the others proceeded cautiously, each step filled with vigilance. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, the oppressive atmosphere causing their hearts to pound involuntarily.

"Zhang Peng, this place feels increasingly unsettling," Murong Yu said in a low voice, gripping his longsword tightly, ready to respond to any unexpected situation. His eyes scanned the passageway, not missing any corner that might be hiding danger.

Zhang Peng nodded slightly, the power of the Chaos Laws continuously circulating within his body, ready to deal with unknown dangers at any moment. "Everyone must be careful, every corner here may hold hidden dangers." His voice was calm and firm, bringing a sense of reassurance to his companions.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, playing soft sound waves in an attempt to probe the situation ahead. The sound waves echoed through the passage, but the information they brought back made her expression turn serious. "There seem to be several powerful auras surging ahead, and... some of these auras are very strange, unlike ordinary magical beasts."

Pan Liwei and Cao Long also sensed the unusual atmosphere around them. They unleashed their dark spiritual power, creating an extra layer of protection around them. "No matter what it is, we will not back down," Pan Liwei said resolutely, while Cao Long nodded silently, his eyes showing determination.

The group continued onward, and soon a huge cave appeared ahead. A dense aura of darkness permeated the cave, and in its center was a massive black vortex, surging with immense power, seemingly threatening to devour everything.

"Is this the core of the sealed land?" Murong Yu stared at the black vortex, a hint of doubt and wariness in his eyes.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully observed the black vortex. He discovered that not only was there powerful dark energy within the vortex, but also some mysterious runes flashing. These runes were similar to those on the stone tablet, but were more complex and mysterious.

“The runes in this vortex seem to be the key to reinforcing the seal,” Zhang Peng said. “But we must find a way to get close to it in order to decipher these runes.”

However, just as they were about to approach the vortex, a large number of dark creatures suddenly surged out of the cave. These creatures varied in shape; some were enormous, towering like mountains; others were small and agile, moving with incredible speed. Their eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, filled with madness and a bloodthirsty desire.

"Everyone be careful! These dark creatures are very powerful!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to create a sturdy protective barrier around them. The dark creatures frantically rammed against the barrier, producing dull thuds, each impact causing it to shake violently.

Murong Yu unleashed his signature technique, "Gentle Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword," sending streaks of sword energy slashing towards the dark creatures. Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, her sonic magic transforming into sharp blades that weaved through the horde of dark creatures, attempting to disrupt their attack rhythm. Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their ultimate moves of dark spiritual power, engaging the dark creatures in close combat.

The battle was extremely fierce, with numerous and powerful dark creatures. Zhang Peng and the others gradually began to feel the strain, and cracks began to appear on the protective barrier.

"This won't do; we must find a way to break through their encirclement." Zhang Peng concentrated, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the dark creatures. Suddenly, he discovered that the dark creatures' power seemed to be affected by the black vortex; whenever the runes within the vortex flickered, the dark creatures' power would increase.

"Listen up, everyone. The power of these dark creatures is related to the runes in the black vortex. Let's concentrate our efforts on attacking the runes to weaken the power of the dark creatures," Zhang Peng quickly made a tactical arrangement.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Murong Yu unleashed the strongest move of his "Clear Wind Breaking Clouds Sword," attacking the runes within the vortex. Liu Ruoli played her strongest sonic wave, which transformed into an invisible blade, following closely behind the sword energy, attacking the runes. Pan Liwei and Cao Long also unleashed their ultimate moves of dark spiritual power; their combined strength formed a powerful dark torrent that surged towards the runes.

Zhang Peng then unleashed the strongest strike of the Chaos Law Sword Technique, "Chaos Myriad Phenomena Collapse," with five-colored sword energy sweeping towards the runes like a blooming lotus flower.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the runes in the vortex began to flicker erratically, and the power of the dark creatures weakened accordingly. "Now! Increase the attack power!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to its fullest extent, and the power of the Chaos Law Sword Technique also reached its peak.

As the runic light dimmed, the dark creatures' attacks slowed. Their bodies began to tremble, and the blood-red light in their eyes gradually diminished.

"Give it your all, we're almost there!" Murong Yu shouted, brandishing his longsword and unleashing all his might in a final attack on the dark creature.

Finally, thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, the dark creatures fell one by one, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"We...successfully," Liu Ruoli said wearily, a relieved smile on her face.

Zhang Peng slowly stood up, looking at the black vortex, but his heart was not at ease. He knew that this was only the first step in reinforcing the seal, and there were more arduous tasks waiting for them.

"Everyone, take a break. We still have to keep going," Zhang Peng said, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.

After resting for a while, the group headed towards the black vortex again. As they approached the vortex, they discovered that although the runes within it were dimming, they still radiated a powerful energy.

Zhang Peng concentrated his mind, using the power of the Chaos Law to decipher the runes. Guided by the Chaos Law, he gradually understood the meaning of the runes. It turned out that these runes were an ancient sealing technique; only by arranging the runes in a specific order could the seal be strengthened again.

“I already know how to reinforce the seal, but it requires our joint efforts,” Zhang Peng said. “Murong Yu, you’re in charge of activating the runes on the left; Liu Ruoli, you’re in charge of activating the runes on the right; Pan Liwei and Cao Long, you’re in charge of activating the runes at the bottom. I’ll activate the runes at the top and guide the power of the Chaos Law to ensure the runes are arranged in the correct order.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and took their designated positions, ready to activate the runes.

"Everyone, listen to my command and activate the runes together!" Zhang Peng shouted. At his command, everyone simultaneously unleashed their spiritual power, activating the runes they were responsible for.

The runes shone brightly, and a powerful force surged from them. Zhang Peng concentrated his mind, guiding the power of the Chaos Laws to gather the power of the runes together. Under the influence of the Chaos Laws, the runes began to arrange themselves in a specific order, gradually forming a complete sealing array.

As the sealing array formed, the dark power within the black vortex was gradually sealed away. The vortex's rotation slowed down, and its power weakened.

"Success!" Murong Yu shouted excitedly, "The seal will be reinforced soon!"

However, just as the seal was about to be completed, a bolt of black lightning suddenly shot out from the black vortex, striking towards Zhang Peng and the others...
