Chapter 529 Altar Crisis and the Awakening of Mysterious Power

A powerful surge of dark energy erupted from the altar, roaring and charging towards Zhang Peng and his companions like an enraged beast. Within the darkness, the crimson light of the runes flickered wildly, enveloping everything in an eerie shimmering light. Zhang Peng reacted swiftly, instantly fusing the power of Starlight and the Heart of the Stars to form an impenetrable defensive barrier before him. The multicolored starlight collided violently with the dark energy, unleashing a deafening roar and illuminating the entire passage to the forbidden land.

"Everyone be careful! This power is stronger than anything we've encountered before!" Zhang Peng shouted as he desperately tried to fend off the impact of the dark power, attempting to keep his companions alert. His face was covered in sweat, but his eyes were unwavering. The power of the stars was surging wildly within him, and each clash with the dark power fueled his desire to explore the secrets of this forbidden land.

Murong Yu wielded the Chaos Breeze Sword, unleashing the "Chaotic Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind," attempting to tear through the dark forces' defenses with his fierce sword energy. The chaotic sword energy crisscrossed in the darkness, emitting a sharp whistling sound; however, the dark forces, like an endless abyss, swiftly swallowed the sword energy without causing a ripple. Murong Yu's arm trembled slightly from the exertion. He gritted his teeth, a surge of unwillingness rising within him: "Hmph, I refuse to believe I can't break through this barrier of darkness!"

Liu Ruoli's jade flute trembled slightly as she played "Sonic Chaos Impact," attempting to disrupt the flow of dark power with sound waves. The stirring flute music echoed through the passage, the sound waves piercing the dark power like sharp blades. However, the dark power seemed to possess a life of its own, quickly adapting to the sound wave attack and reflecting it back. Liu Ruoli swayed, almost falling. She steadied herself, a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "This dark power is too strange; it seems to have neutralized all our attacks."

Concealed in the darkness, Su Yi unleashed the ultimate form of the forbidden dark technique, "Dark Devouring." A powerful devouring force, mixed with black light, attempted to absorb the dark power surging from the altar. However, the altar's dark power was too overwhelming. Su Yi's forbidden dark technique not only failed to devour the power but was instead suppressed by it. His face turned ashen, and his body began to tremble slightly. "This... how can this power be so strong..." His voice was filled with shock and fear.

Lan Bing brandished her staff, unleashing the most powerful ice magic technique, "Icy Wonderland." In an instant, the entire passage was covered in ice and snow, the temperature plummeting as she attempted to freeze the dark power with extreme cold. The ice rapidly spread, enveloping the dark power within. However, the dark power only paused briefly before easily breaking free of the ice's restraints and continuing its surge towards the group. A hint of despair flashed in Lan Bing's eyes: "Our power seems utterly powerless before this darkness."

At this critical moment, Zhang Peng suddenly felt a mysterious power awakening within him. This power was different from the power of the Starry Sky and the power of the Star Heart; it was more ancient and mysterious, as if it came from the depths of the universe. A thought struck Zhang Peng, and he concentrated his mind to guide this power. With his guidance, this mysterious power gradually merged with the power of the Starry Sky and the power of the Star Heart, and an unprecedented light erupted around Zhang Peng's body.

“This is…” Zhang Peng looked at his hands in surprise, feeling the surging power within his body.

Murong Yu and the others were also drawn to the changes in Zhang Peng and temporarily stopped their attack. "Zhang Peng, what's wrong?" Murong Yu asked with concern.

Zhang Peng didn't answer. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and gathered the fused power in his palm. He could feel that this power contained endless mysteries and immense energy, perhaps the key to resolving the current crisis.

Zhang Peng suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute light flashing within them. He unleashed the power he had fused, blasting it towards the dark force surging from the altar. This strike contained the vastness of the stars, the mystery of chaos, the agility of sound waves, the profundity of darkness, the purity of ice power, and the ancient and powerful nature of that mysterious force. The light, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the darkness and collided with the dark power.

With a deafening roar, the entire forbidden land trembled violently. The dark power dissipated rapidly under this powerful attack, and the runes on the altar dimmed considerably.

"We did it!" Murong Yu shouted excitedly.

Liu Ruoli and Su Yi also showed relieved smiles, while Lan Bing breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing signs of exhaustion.

However, before they could even celebrate, the runes on the altar shone brightly once more, and an even more powerful dark force surged forth from the altar…
