Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 538 Mysterious Reinforcements and Remnants of Dark Forces

Footsteps echoed in the empty space, each one striking heavily on everyone's hearts. Zhang Peng and the others immediately became alert, gathering the power of Starry Sky, the power of the Chaos Breeze Sword, sonic spells, forbidden dark arts, and ice magic in their hands once more, ready to deal with any new crisis.

"Who could it be? Does the dark forces have a backup plan?" Murong Yu asked in a low voice, the Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand trembling slightly, emitting a low buzzing sound, as if responding to its master's tension and vigilance.

Zhang Peng's expression was solemn as he used his Star Power to sense the aura of the newcomer. However, to his surprise, the newcomer's aura lacked the intense evil of dark forces; instead, it carried a familiar yet mysterious feel. "The aura is somewhat strange, unlike that of dark forces, but I cannot let my guard down."

As the footsteps drew closer, a beam of light flashed in the distance. Everyone looked closely and saw an elderly man in a white robe slowly approaching. His hair and beard were silver, and his eyes revealed profound wisdom and a gentle power. Behind him followed a group of cultivators dressed in various attire; their auras were steady and powerful, each radiating unique spiritual energy.

"Who are you...?" Zhang Peng asked in confusion, the star power in his hand still not dissipating.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Young friend, there's no need to be nervous. We are reinforcements from the Star Alliance. Sensing the unusual activity in the forbidden area, we came to help."

The Star Alliance was a legendary, mysterious organization that supposedly protected the power of the stars and the balance of the world. Zhang Peng and the others had heard of its existence but had never had any dealings with it. The Star Alliance's appearance now surprised them, yet also brought them a sense of relief.

"So you are seniors from the Star Alliance. Thank you for coming." Zhang Peng withdrew his Star Power and said respectfully. Murong Yu and the others also withdrew their spells and bowed to the old man.

The old man nodded, his gaze falling on the stabilized core seal: "It seems you have temporarily stabilized the seal, well done. However, the remnants of the dark forces are still lurking in the shadows, and they will never give up easily."

As they were talking, a violent tremor suddenly came from the depths of the cave. Immediately afterwards, a group of people dressed in black robes rushed out of the darkness—the remnants of the dark forces. Their eyes gleamed with madness, and the magical artifacts in their hands emitted black mist, clearly indicating that they were making a final stand.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to dare show your faces." Murong Yu sneered, and the Chaos Breeze Sword shone brightly. "Then I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

The remnants of the dark forces let out a sinister laugh. The leader, a man in black robes, brandished his magical weapon and shouted, "So what if the seal is temporarily stable? What we can't have, you can't have either! Today, we'll destroy you and this forbidden land together!"

At his shout, the remnants of the dark forces unleashed their dark magic, and black light surged like a raging tide towards Zhang Peng and the Star Alliance cultivators. Zhang Peng immediately activated his Star Shield, protecting everyone within it. The Star Shield collided with the dark magic, producing crackling sounds and sending countless sparks flying.

The cultivators of the Star Alliance also sprang into action. Each of them unleashed unique spells; some manipulated the power of the stars to form dazzling starlight blades that shot towards the dark forces; others used the power of nature to summon gales, torrential rains, and lightning to counter the dark magic.

Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate technique of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breeze Shattering Demon Whirlwind," sending several sword energies shooting towards the dark forces like lightning. The sword energies crisscrossed, tearing open the dark magic. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," the sound waves transforming into sharp blades, piercing the vitals of the dark forces. Su Yi unleashed a forbidden dark technique, black light intertwining with the dark forces' magic, attempting to devour their power. Lan Bing waved her staff, unleashing the strongest ice magic move, "Ice and Snow," instantly covering the entire space with ice and snow, severely restricting the dark forces' movements.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that the remnants of the dark forces seemed to be attempting to detonate the remaining dark power around the core seal. If they succeeded, the core seal would once again be in crisis, and might even collapse completely.

"Everyone be careful! The dark forces are trying to detonate the remaining dark power and break the seal! We must stop them!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Star Alliance's expression changed: "We absolutely cannot let them succeed!" He formed hand seals and unleashed the Star Alliance's ultimate technique, "Star Guardian Barrier." A dazzling starlight barrier enveloped the core seal, preventing the dark forces from approaching.

Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately rushed towards the dark forces, attempting to disrupt their plans. Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breath-Splitting Slash," several sword energies slicing through the dark forces' spells like sharp blades. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Interference," the sound waves reverberating within the dark forces, interfering with their spellcasting.

Su Yi unleashed a mutated form of the forbidden dark technique, "Dark Devouring Vortex," where black light formed a massive vortex that devoured the magical power of the dark forces. Lan Bing then used the auxiliary ice-based spell "Ice Imprisonment," where ice rapidly spread, freezing some members of the dark forces.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the remnants of the dark forces gradually fell into a predicament. Their spells were broken one by one, and members fell one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the black-robed men tried to escape. How could Zhang Peng let him succeed? He used "Stellar Space-Time Reversal", and the power of stars formed a huge vortex, trapping the black-robed man.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Zhang Peng roared, unleashing his "Star Shattering Fist," his fist, imbued with the power of stars, slamming fiercely into the black-robed man. The black-robed man let out a scream, his body gradually dissipating under the impact of the star power…
