Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 429 Exploring the Sealing Array Core and the Obstacles of Mysterious Power

After repelling the black-robed man and the phantom of the Shadow Demon God, Zhang Peng and the others rested briefly before beginning their search for the sealing array's core within the Chaos Valley. The valley was shrouded in thick fog, containing chaotic spiritual energy, making every step extremely difficult. Zhang Peng channeled his mid-stage Nascent Soul stage Chaos Law power, creating a spiritual energy channel in front of him to dispel the fog, only to discover that the fog seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly filling the areas that had been dispersed.

"This fog is too eerie; it seems to be hindering our progress." Murong Yu frowned, his long sword poised to face any potential danger. His eyes scanned the surroundings warily, not missing a single corner that might conceal danger.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, playing soft sound waves in an attempt to probe her surroundings. The sound waves echoed through the mist, but received no response, as if sinking into the sea. "My sonic detection seems to be completely ineffective here. The secrets hidden in this Chaos Valley are far beyond our imagination." Her voice carried a hint of anxiety, a rare expression of emotion when facing unknown dangers.

Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to sense the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations. Under the detection of the Chaos Law, he discovered that countless tiny spiritual energy vortices were hidden in the mist. These vortices intertwined and formed a huge spiritual energy labyrinth, trapping them inside.

"Everyone be careful, we've fallen into a spiritual energy maze. These spiritual energy vortexes are extremely dangerous; once you're caught in them, you'll be torn to pieces by the endless spiritual energy," Zhang Peng shouted a warning. His voice echoed through the mist, bringing a sense of urgency to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone channeled their spiritual power, forming protective barriers around themselves. Zhang Peng continued to use the power of the Chaos Laws to explore the patterns of the maze, attempting to find a way to break through. After some effort, he finally discovered that the operation of these spiritual energy vortexes was not random; they seemed to be operating according to some ancient formation.

"I've found the solution! This spiritual energy maze is set up according to the principles of an ancient chaotic maze. As long as we pass through these spiritual energy vortexes in a specific order, we can find the exit," Zhang Peng said excitedly. His eyes gleamed with the joy of finding hope in a predicament.

Following Zhang Peng's instructions, the group cautiously traversed the vortex of spiritual energy. Each crossing was fraught with immense risk; a single misstep could result in being swallowed by the vortex. Murong Yu gripped his longsword tightly, its blade shimmering with the light of chaotic laws, providing him with extra protection. Liu Ruoli, meanwhile, focused intently on playing her jade flute, the sound waves merging with spiritual energy to stabilize everyone's minds.

After navigating countless vortexes of spiritual energy, the group finally found the exit of the maze. At the exit, an ancient stone platform loomed in the distance, covered with mysterious runes and radiating powerful spiritual energy.

"This stone platform is probably the core of the sealing array," Zhang Peng said excitedly. He quickly stepped forward, circulating his mid-stage Nascent Soul spiritual power, attempting to decipher the runes on the stone platform. However, the power of the runes was too great; the moment his spiritual sense made contact, it was repelled by a powerful force.

“This rune has a very strong defensive mechanism; we must find a way to break it,” Zhang Peng said, frowning. He concentrated again, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to its fullest extent, trying to find a way to break the rune.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the Chaos Valley. "You think you can find the sealing array eye so easily? You're too naive!" With the voice, a huge black figure slowly emerged from the mist, the second phantom of the Shadow Demon God.

The second phantom of the Shadow Demon God was more solid than the first, and the dark aura emanating from him was even more intense. In his hand he held a black scythe, which gleamed with an eerie light, as if it could reap all life.

"This time, none of you will leave here alive!" the Shadow Demon God roared, swinging his scythe and unleashing a beam of black light towards the crowd. Wherever the light touched, the air was torn apart, leaving a long black crack.

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, cracks appearing on its surface.

"The power of this Shadow Demon God has increased again!" Murong Yu exclaimed. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat, clearly feeling immense pressure.

Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Shield," the sound waves merging with the power of the cage to barely maintain its stability. "Hold on, everyone! We'll definitely find a way to break this!" Her voice was firm, but trembled slightly.

Zhang Peng knew that simple defense wouldn't solve the problem; he had to take the initiative. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to try and find the Shadow Demon God's weakness. Under the perception of the Chaos Law, he discovered that although the Shadow Demon God's phantom was powerful, a faint light flickered at its core, which seemed to be its weakness.

"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, listen to my command! Murong Yu, unleash the strongest attack of the 'Chaos Breeze Sword' to attract the attention of the Shadow Demon God; Liu Ruoli, use sound waves to disrupt his actions; I will take the opportunity to attack his weaknesses!" Zhang Peng quickly formulated a battle plan.

Everyone nodded and acted according to Zhang Peng's instructions. Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Chaotic Breeze Annihilation," a sword aura containing boundless power, carrying the momentum to tear through space, slashing towards the Shadow Demon God. The Shadow Demon God sensed the threat and swung his scythe to meet the sword aura head-on.

Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Storm," and the sound waves transformed into a powerful force, forming a massive vortex that swept towards the Shadow Demon God. The Shadow Demon God swayed and its movements became sluggish under the impact of the sound waves.

Zhang Peng seized the opportunity and unleashed "Chaos Overlord's Sanction," a five-colored beam of light descending from the sky and shooting towards the core of the Shadow Demon God. The Shadow Demon God sensed the danger and struggled desperately, trying to dodge this fatal blow.

However, Zhang Peng's attack was extremely fast, and the Shadow Demon God had no way to dodge it. The multicolored light struck its core, and the Shadow Demon God let out a painful roar as its body began to become illusory.

"No! This is impossible!" the Shadow Demon God roared. With his roar, his body gradually dissipated and finally disappeared into the mist.

Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. After this fierce battle, although they had once again repelled the phantom of the Shadow Demon God, they had also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.

"We... succeeded again," Murong Yu said wearily, a relieved smile on his face.

Zhang Peng slowly stood up, looking at the runes on the stone platform, his heart filled with unwavering conviction. "No matter how many difficulties we encounter, we must complete the seal."

Everyone nodded, turning their gaze back to the runes on the stone platform, preparing to face a new challenge...
