Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 174 Breakthrough in Desperate Situation, Awakening of Inheritance

Zhang Peng clenched his fists tightly. Li Ming's sacrifice filled him with grief and anger, emotions surging within him like a raging tide. The dark beast opposite him roared once more, its black flames blazing fiercely, seemingly proclaiming its absolute dominance.

Lin Wan'er stood beside Zhang Peng, her face still streaked with tears, but her eyes revealed determination. "Zhang Peng, let's avenge Li Ming together!" Her voice trembled slightly, yet was full of strength.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the grief in his heart, and mobilized the power of the Dragon Ball within him. Golden light shone around him, forming a stark contrast with the black flames of the Dark Beast. He knew that to defeat this powerful beast, he had to break through his own limits.

Zhang Peng closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to explore the deeper power within his body. Deep within his consciousness, the power of the Dragon Ball was like a vast ocean of stars, containing endless mysteries. He continued to explore deeper, and suddenly, he felt a strange yet powerful force slowly awakening.

This power seemed to originate from ancient times, carrying an aura of mystery. As this power awakened, Zhang Peng's body began to change; his skin became more resilient, and his meridians continued to widen, as if preparing for the powerful force to come.

The dark beast seemed to sense Zhang Peng's change. The blood-red light in its eyes intensified, and it once again swung its massive claws, lunging towards Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er quickly cast a wood-based spell, and countless vines surged from the ground, attempting to block the beast's attack. However, the dark beast's power was too great, and the vines snapped under its onslaught.

Zhang Peng opened his eyes, which were now flashing with a strange light—a manifestation of his newly awakened power. He unleashed this power, and a five-colored beam of light shot from his hand, colliding with the black flames of the dark beast.

With a deafening boom, the entire space trembled violently. The dark beast was forced back several steps by this force, and for the first time, a hint of fear appeared in its eyes.

"What... what kind of power is this?" Lin Wan'er looked at Zhang Peng in surprise, her eyes filled with shock.

Zhang Peng was also quite surprised; he hadn't expected this newly awakened power to be so strong. He realized that this might be an ancient inheritance hidden within the Dragon Balls, only to be activated in life-or-death situations.

Zhang Peng had no time to think too much. He pressed his advantage, unleashing his newly awakened power and launching continuous attacks on the dark beast. Multicolored light, like bolts of lightning, struck the dark beast relentlessly. Wounds began to appear on the dark beast's body, and black blood flowed out, dripping into the void with a sizzling sound.

The dark beast roared furiously, unleashing another powerful burst of black flames with all its might. This flame was even more ferocious than before, carrying an aura of annihilation.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately fused his newly awakened power with the power of the Dragon Ball and the five elements, forming a huge five-colored shield that protected him and Lin Wan'er. Black flames struck the shield, emitting a dazzling light, and the shield trembled violently, but it remained unbroken.

In the fierce battle, Zhang Peng gradually mastered how to use this newly awakened power. He discovered that this power was not only strong, but also possessed a special ability—the ability to perceive the enemy's weaknesses.

Zhang Peng concentrated his mind and used this power to carefully observe the dark beast's body. Finally, he discovered a tiny flaw in the dark beast's heart area, where the defenses were relatively weak.

"Lin Wan'er, attack its heart!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er immediately unleashed her full power, condensing her wood-elemental spiritual energy into a sharp wooden spike and shooting it towards the heart of the dark beast. Zhang Peng also simultaneously unleashed his strongest attack, a multicolored light piercing the dark beast's heart like a sharp sword.

The dark beast seemed to sense the danger and struggled desperately to dodge the attacks. However, Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er's attacks were too fast for it to avoid.

"Pfft!" The multicolored light and the wooden spike struck the dark beast's heart simultaneously. The dark beast let out a miserable cry, and its body began to rapidly dissipate.

As the dark beast vanished, the entire space began to change. The previously empty space gradually brightened, and familiar scenes appeared around them. Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er were surprised to find that they had returned to the secret chamber of the ruins.

Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy. They knew that this arduous battle was finally over. But they also understood that this was just a small episode on their path to immortality, and many more challenges awaited them in the future.

Zhang Peng walked to the spot where Li Ming had disappeared and stood silently for a while. He secretly vowed to carry Li Ming's hope and continue on the path of cultivation, to become stronger, to protect those around him, and to explore the true meaning of cultivation.
