Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 457 The Battle to Break the Stalemate and the Call of Shadow Peak

The battlefield outside Lingxiao Pavilion was a scene of utter devastation. The clash of spiritual energies stirred up clouds of dust, and the shouts of battle and the roar of spells mingled together, like a chaotic symphony. In the midst of the fierce fighting, Zhang Peng continuously guided the laws of chaos to resonate with the shadow laws within the black-robed man's spells, attempting to find a way to break the deadlock.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, but his eyes remained resolute, fixed on the black-robed leader. "Chaos Laws, merge!" Zhang Peng uttered a low shout, the power of the Chaos Laws within his body surging like a tidal wave, deeply merging with the Shadow Laws within the black-robed leader's spell. In an instant, the black-robed leader's spell flickered erratically, his once powerful dark energy becoming chaotic and disordered.

"Now!" Murong Yu seized the opportunity and unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breaking the Sky with Breeze Slash." A sword aura, imbued with the power of chaos, surged towards the group of black-robed figures with overwhelming force. Wherever the sword aura passed, the black-robed men scattered and were thrown into chaos.

Not to be outdone, Liu Ruoli unleashed an enhanced version of her "Sonic Chaos Storm," the "Sonic Chaos Annihilation Song." The stirring flute music materialized into tangible sonic blades, slicing through the black-robed crowd. The sonic waves and sword energy resonated, tearing a gaping hole in the black-robed figures' encirclement.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men's faces darkened. He waved his wand, casting an even more bizarre spell. The black gem at the tip of the wand shone brightly, and black threads shot out from the gem, wrapping around Zhang Peng and the others. These threads were incredibly tough, containing powerful shadow energy; once caught, they would be corroded by the shadow energy.

"Watch out for those black lines!" Zhang Peng warned, simultaneously unleashing a variant of "Law Cage," "Chaotic Prison." Multicolored light intertwined with dark purple chaotic power, forming a sturdy cage that kept the black lines at bay. However, the black lines continued to pound against the cage, emitting a hissing sound, and the cage's light flickered incessantly, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

Just as Zhang Peng and the others were in trouble, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from inside the Lingxiao Pavilion. The bell's sound was crisp and pleasant, yet it contained a powerful force, as if it could dispel all darkness. As the bell rang, the black-robed man's magical power was weakened, and the black threads became dull and lifeless.

"This is... the sound of the Pure Heart Bell, the treasure of Lingxiao Pavilion!" Elder Xuan Chenzi exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that while everyone was fighting, several elders of Lingxiao Pavilion worked together to activate the Pure Heart Bell, using its power to support the battle.

Zhang Peng was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed man's magic was weakened, he unleashed the ultimate form of "Chaos Dominator's Sanction," "Chaos Annihilation Storm." He compressed the power of the laws of chaos, darkness, and thunder to their extreme, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy that swept towards the black-robed man.

Within the vortex of spiritual energy, the power of chaos roared like a giant dragon, the laws of darkness lurked like venomous snakes, and the laws of thunder roared like lightning. These three forces intertwined, unleashing a devastating force. The black-robed figures collapsed to the ground under the impact of this power, losing their ability to fight.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the leader of the black-robed men's eyes flashed with resentment. He waved his magic wand, transformed into a black shadow, and swiftly fled. Zhang Peng wanted to give chase, but considering the safety of everyone in the Lingxiao Pavilion, he decided against it.

"Phew... We've finally managed to temporarily repel them." Murong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his Chaos Breeze Sword. His clothes were torn and he had several scratches on his body, but his eyes revealed the relief of surviving a disaster.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute and put it away: "Although we won this time, the mysterious organization will definitely not let it go. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

Zhang Peng nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the "Shadow Laws Manual," and an idea formed in his mind: "It seems we need to head to Shadow Peak as soon as possible. This ancient book may hold the key to completely defeating the mysterious organization."

The group returned to Lingxiao Pavilion and, after discussion, decided that Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli would go to Shadow Peak to investigate the truth. They were well aware of the dangers of this mission, but for the peace of the cultivation world, they were determined to go.

A few days later, the three embarked on their journey to Shadow Peak. Along the way, they traversed dense forests and crossed treacherous mountain peaks, finally arriving at the foot of Shadow Peak.

The Shadow Peak before them was shrouded in a thick layer of shadow power, its towering peaks reaching into the clouds, yet devoid of any sunlight. At the foot of the mountain, an eerie mist permeated the air, from which faint, sinister whispers could be heard, sending chills down one's spine.

"This Shadow Peak is indeed filled with a dangerous aura." Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly, looking around warily.

Zhang Peng activated his late-stage Nascent Soul realm spiritual sense, attempting to penetrate the shadow power and explore the interior of the mountain. However, the moment his spiritual sense touched the shadow power, it was repelled by a powerful force, his face instantly turning pale, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Zhang Peng, how are you?" Liu Ruoli quickly helped him up and asked with concern.

Zhang Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "This shadow power is too strong; my spiritual sense can't penetrate it at all. It seems we can only proceed cautiously and venture deeper into Shadow Peak step by step."

The three cautiously stepped into the area of ​​Shadow Peak. The moment they entered, the temperature plummeted, and a biting wind swept across them like knives. On the ground, black vines twisted like snakes, trying to entangle their feet.

Zhang Peng unleashed a "Chaotic Law Shield," protecting the three of them from the erosion of the shadow power. Murong Yu wielded the Chaotic Breeze Sword, severing the black vines. Liu Ruoli played a "Sonic Chaotic Shield," simultaneously using sound waves to dispel the surrounding mist.

As he struggled forward, Zhang Peng discovered that the shadow power within Shadow Peak was intricately connected to the records in the "Secret Codex of Shadow Laws." He continued forward, comparing his findings with the ancient text, attempting to find a way to counteract the shadow power.

Suddenly, a massive stone gate appeared ahead, its surface covered in mysterious runes that emanated a powerful shadowy aura. Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the runes, discovering that they bore a striking resemblance to an ancient formation described in ancient texts.

“Perhaps we can enter the interior of Shadow Peak through this formation,” Zhang Peng said. Following the records in the ancient book, he circulated the chaotic law power of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm to begin deciphering the runes on the stone gate.

As the power of the laws of chaos was infused, the runes on the stone door flickered and slowly lit up. However, just as the stone door was about to open, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the surroundings…
