Chapter 138 Prelude to the Final Battle Against Ancient Evil Spirits
The malevolent force surging forth from behind the stone gate, like an ancient beast breaking free of its cage, instantly shrouded the entire passage in darkness. Black mist billowed and surged, carrying a pungent, putrid stench, from which the faint wails of countless vengeful spirits could be heard, sending chills down one's spine.
"What is this thing?" Li Ming cried out in terror, his longsword trembling slightly in the darkness. Although he had experienced countless battles, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he faced this unknown and terrifying power.
Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He mobilized the power of the four divine artifacts with all his might, attempting to resist the invasion of this evil force. Multicolored light shone in the darkness, resisting the black mist and forming a clear boundary. "Everyone be careful. This power is extremely strong. It is very likely the ancient evil that the mysterious organization is trying to awaken, as Miss Shen mentioned."
Lin Wan'er gripped Zhang Peng's hand tightly, her palms sweating, but her eyes were unusually firm: "Zhang Peng, whatever this is, we'll face it together." Su Yao and Liu Ruyan also quickly moved closer, their spiritual energy gathering at their fingertips, ready to provide support at any time.
As the evil power surged forth, a colossal figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The figure was as tall as a mountain, its entire body covered in black scales, each scale shimmering with an eerie light. Its head was raised high, its blood-red vertical pupils radiating boundless killing intent, and black flames continuously spewed from its mouth, incinerating everything in their path.
"This...this is the legendary ancient evil spirit!" Shen Yue covered her mouth in horror, her voice trembling. "It is said that it once ravaged the cultivation world in ancient times and was sealed away by countless powerful figures. I never expected that the mysterious organization would actually awaken it!"
Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat; he knew all too well how terrifying this ancient evil spirit was. But at this moment, he had no intention of backing down; instead, his fighting spirit was ignited within him. "Since it has been sealed once, then we will seal it once more!" he roared, pushing the power of the four divine artifacts to their limits.
The five elements' spiritual power transformed into five giant dragons, circling around him; the Thunder Pearl released countless bolts of lightning, like sharp swords piercing the evil spirits; the power of the hourglass disrupted the flow of time around him, interfering with the evil spirits' actions; and the Fountain of Life continuously provided everyone with vitality and strength, healing their injuries.
Li Ming launched the first attack, unleashing all his skills as his longsword, imbued with a sharp sword aura, stabbed towards the evil spirit's leg. However, the evil spirit's scales were incredibly hard, and his attack only left a shallow mark on them.
"Damn it, this defense is too strong!" Li Ming gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment.
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er and Su Yao immediately used their magic to support the evil spirit. Lin Wan'er's vines, like strong ropes, tried to entangle the evil spirit's limbs; Su Yao concentrated the power of her ice magic into a single point, forming a giant ice sword, which she shot towards the evil spirit's eyes.
Enraged by the attack, the evil spirit let out a deafening roar, wielding its enormous claws and overturning everything around it. Lin Wan'er and Su Yao were unable to dodge in time and were blasted away by the shockwaves generated by the claws.
"Lin Wan'er! Su Yao!" Zhang Peng's heart tightened. He quickly mobilized the power of the Fountain of Life to heal their injuries. At the same time, he unleashed his full power, transforming the multicolored light into a barrier to resist the evil spirits' attacks.
Liu Ruyan then unleashed her unique swordsmanship, her purple sword energy flashing like lightning through the darkness. She targeted the evil spirit's weakness, launching a series of attacks. However, the evil spirit's power was too great, and her attacks could only temporarily restrain it.
Just when everyone was in trouble, Zhang Peng suddenly felt an unprecedented resonance between the four divine artifacts. A thought struck him, and he realized that this might be the key to defeating the evil spirits.
Zhang Peng concentrated his mind, guiding the power of the four divine artifacts to merge together. In an instant, he felt himself become one with the power of the artifacts, as if he had become the master of this power.
"Die!" Zhang Peng roared, gathering the power of the fused divine artifacts into a dazzling beam of light, which shot towards the evil spirit. The light contained boundless vitality and destructive power, as if it wanted to completely annihilate the evil spirit.
The evil spirit seemed to sense the immense threat; it struggled frantically, trying to evade the fatal blow. However, the light followed closely, striking it instantly.
With a deafening roar, the evil spirit's body trembled violently. Its black scales fell off one by one, and the black mist quickly dissipated. The evil spirit let out a painful roar, and its massive body slowly collapsed.
