Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 236 Breaking the Forbidden Barrier to Seize Treasure: Another Crisis Looms

Zhang Peng and his team members took their positions, their faces etched with focus and tension, the air itself seeming to freeze in the heavy atmosphere. At Zhang Peng's command, they all attacked simultaneously, beams of spiritual energy shooting like lightning towards the rune nodes on the light screen. In an instant, the runes on the screen shone brightly, illuminating the entire mountaintop in a kaleidoscope of colors, a mysterious power emanating from them, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Stay calm, don't panic! Continue the attack according to plan!" Zhang Peng shouted, his voice firm and powerful despite the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. The team members gritted their teeth, maintaining their spiritual energy output with all their might, sweat rolling down their foreheads, but their eyes showed no sign of retreat.

Just when everyone thought the barrier was about to be broken, the light screen suddenly underwent a drastic change. The previously orderly flashing runes began to jump wildly, and a powerful backlash surged towards everyone like a raging tide. "Not good, everyone, defend quickly!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used the defensive move of the Chaos Spirit Technique to form a five-colored spiritual energy shield in front of everyone.

The backlash slammed heavily against the shield, producing a deafening roar. Ripples spread across the shield's surface, threatening to shatter at any moment. The team members were forced back by the force, and some of the weaker disciples coughed up blood.

"The backlash from this restriction is even stronger than we imagined. Could it be that our method of breaking it is wrong?" a team member shouted anxiously.

Zhang Peng frowned, quickly considering a solution. He carefully observed the changes in the runes on the light screen and suddenly noticed a hidden rune sequence appearing intermittently between the frantic fluctuations of the runes. "Everyone, stop! I've found a crucial clue," Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped attacking and focused their attention on the light screen. Zhang Peng pointed to the hidden rune sequence and said, "We overlooked this hidden rune sequence before; it might be the key to breaking the restriction. We need to readjust our attack order and incorporate this sequence into it."

The team members quickly adjusted their state and, following Zhang Peng's instructions, regrouped their spiritual energy. This time, their attacks were more precise, with beams of spiritual energy accurately striking the rune nodes on the light screen, echoing their previous attacks.

As the attack continued, the runes on the light screen gradually stabilized and stopped pulsating wildly. The powerful backlash also gradually weakened, and the ripples on the multicolored spiritual energy shield slowly disappeared. Finally, through everyone's tireless efforts, the runes on the light screen extinguished one by one, and the restriction was successfully broken.

"We did it!" the team members cheered excitedly, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

Zhang Peng let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Everyone has worked hard. Let's hurry up the mountain and find the Heart of the Spirit Crystal."

The group quickly made their way to the summit. When they arrived at an ancient stone temple at the top, a powerful surge of spiritual energy washed over them. The temple's doors were tightly shut, covered with mysterious patterns, exuding an ancient and enigmatic aura.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and gently pushed open the door of the stone hall. The stone hall was filled with rich spiritual energy. In the center of the stone hall, there was a huge stone platform. On the platform, a spirit crystal that emitted a dazzling light floated in the air. It was the spirit crystal heart that they had been searching for.

"Finally found it!" Zhang Peng's eyes were filled with joy. He quickly stepped forward, ready to take the Spirit Crystal Heart. However, the moment his hand touched the Spirit Crystal Heart, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from inside the stone hall.

"Hahaha, Zhang Peng, do you think you can get the Spirit Crystal Heart so easily?" A familiar voice came from the shadows of the stone hall.

Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He quickly turned around and saw a group of men in black slowly emerge from the shadows. The leader was a mysterious man he had never seen before. The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a black mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that exuded endless chill.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Zhang Peng stared coldly at the mysterious man, gripping his weapon tightly, spiritual energy flowing around him, ready to fight at any moment.

The mysterious man sneered, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that the Spirit Crystal Heart belongs to me today. You foolish cultivators have no idea what you are doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious man waved his hand sharply, and the men in black instantly scattered, surrounding Zhang Peng and his companions. They unleashed various dark spells—black flames, poisonous mist, and sharp blades—assailing Zhang Peng and his group relentlessly.
