Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 349 The Mysterious Space and the Ancient Curse

After defeating the shadowy figure, Zhang Peng and the others did not slacken their efforts. Guided by the powerful energy fluctuations, they ventured deeper into the valley. The surrounding fog grew increasingly thick, almost imperceptible, making every step fraught with unknown danger. Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the Chaos Law, creating a faint path of light ahead to guide them.

"This fog is too strange. It not only obstructs our vision, but it also seems to interfere with our spiritual energy perception." Murong Yu frowned and cautiously observed his surroundings.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute and said warily, "I have a feeling that there are more dangers lurking in this fog. Everyone must be careful."

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a biting chill seeped through their clothes, penetrating to their very bones. Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed through the mist, the sound elusive, seemingly coming from all directions.

"Who?" Zhang Peng shouted, gripping his longsword tightly, the power of the Chaos Law flowing through his body, ready to respond to any attack.

The laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a low roar. Then, several dark figures emerged from the mist. These figures were similar to the monsters encountered before, but there were more of them, and they moved much more nimbly.

"Everyone, stand back to back and don't panic!" Zhang Peng quickly commanded. He took the lead, unleashing a Chaos Law sword technique, his five-colored sword energy crisscrossing and instantly repelling the several dark figures.

Murong Yu brandished his longsword, unleashing the ultimate technique, "Wind-Piercing Cloud Sword," his sword energy sweeping like a whirlwind as he fiercely clashed with the shadowy figures. Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, the sound waves transforming into sharp blades that weaved through the shadowy group, attempting to disrupt their attack rhythm. Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power, attacking the shadowy figures from both sides. Their masterful use of dark power caught some of the figures off guard.

However, the number of shadowy figures was too great, and they kept pouring out of the fog, increasing the pressure on everyone. Zhang Peng realized that this couldn't go on; they had to find the source of these shadowy figures to completely resolve the crisis.

He concentrated, using the power of the Chaos Laws to sense the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations. Finally, he discovered a spiritual energy node hidden deep within the mist; these dark figures seemed to have been summoned from there.

"Follow me, everyone! Let's destroy that spiritual energy node!" Zhang Peng shouted, charging towards it. The others followed closely, fighting their way through the encirclement of shadowy figures.

As they approached the spiritual energy node, they discovered it was a massive black stone pillar, covered in strange runes that emitted an eerie glow. As the runes flickered, shadowy figures continuously emerged from it.

"This is what's causing the trouble!" Zhang Peng said. He unleashed the ultimate power of the Chaos Law, and a five-colored light carrying boundless power shot towards the stone pillar.

However, just as the light was about to strike the stone pillar, the pillar suddenly emitted a black light, deflecting Zhang Peng's attack. Zhang Peng was forced back several steps by the powerful recoil, a look of surprise on his face.

"The defense of this stone pillar is incredibly strong!" Murong Yu exclaimed.

Zhang Peng frowned, carefully examining the runes on the stone pillar, trying to find a way to break the spell. He discovered that these runes were somewhat similar to those he had seen in the sealed land, but with subtle differences.

“These runes seem to contain the power of an ancient curse; we must be careful,” Zhang Peng said.

Just then, the runes on the stone pillar shone brightly, and a powerful curse surged towards the group. Wherever the curse reached, the surrounding space distorted and deformed, and the group's bodies were also affected by the curse, their power gradually weakening.

"Oh no, this curse is too powerful!" Liu Ruoli exclaimed.

Zhang Peng immediately unleashed the power of the Chaos Laws, forming a protective barrier around everyone to resist the erosion of the curse's power. However, the curse's power continued to assault the barrier, causing its light to dim further and further, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Everyone, let's work together to strengthen the protective barrier!" Zhang Peng shouted. Everyone circulated their spiritual energy, pouring their power into the barrier. With everyone's combined efforts, the protective barrier temporarily stabilized.

Zhang Peng knew this was only a temporary measure; he needed to find a way to break the curse. He concentrated, recalling his experiences in the sealed land and his understanding of the laws of chaos. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and a possible solution came to mind.

“The laws of chaos contain the power of creation and destruction; perhaps we can use them to purify this cursed power,” Zhang Peng said.

He unleashed the power of the Chaos Laws, transforming it into a pure force that he channeled into the protective barrier. As the power of the Chaos Laws was infused, the barrier's light returned to its former brightness, and the corrosive influence of the curse gradually diminished.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng was overjoyed. He increased the output of the Chaos Law power, focusing all his efforts on purifying the curse. Under the influence of the Chaos Law power, the curse gradually dissipated, and the light of the runes on the stone pillar dimmed.

"Now!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the strongest strike of his Chaos Law Sword Technique. A five-colored light, carrying earth-shattering power, shot towards the stone pillar.

"Boom!" The multicolored light struck the stone pillar, causing it to tremble violently before slowly collapsing. As the pillar collapsed, the dark figures vanished, and the surrounding mist began to dissipate.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. "It's finally over..." Cao Long said wearily.

Zhang Peng stood up, looking at the scene before him, but his heart remained uneasy. He knew this was only the first step in unraveling the mystery; an even greater crisis might lie ahead.

As the fog dissipated, they discovered a massive stone gate ahead, its surface covered with mysterious patterns and characters. These patterns and characters exuded an ancient and enigmatic aura, seemingly telling a forgotten story.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the patterns and inscriptions on the stone gate. After some research, he discovered that these patterns and inscriptions were related to the legend of that mysterious space. The stone gate stated that one could enter that mysterious space by passing through it, but those who entered must face countless trials and dangers, and once inside, it was very difficult to come out.

"It seems this is the entrance to the mysterious space," Zhang Peng said.

Murong Yu looked at the stone gate, his eyes flashing with determination: "No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we must go in, to find the missing disciple and to uncover the truth behind all of this."

Liu Ruoli, Pan Liwei, and Cao Long nodded in agreement. Zhang Peng took a deep breath, channeled the power of the Chaos Law, and attempted to open the stone door. As the power of the Chaos Law was injected, the stone door slowly swayed, emitting a muffled sound, and slowly opened.

An ancient and mysterious aura wafted over them. Behind the stone door was a long passage, filled with a faint light. Zhang Peng stepped into the passage first, with the others following closely behind him.

The passage was silent, save for the echoing sound of their footsteps. Suddenly, a light appeared ahead, and something seemed to be shimmering within it. Zhang Peng and the others quickened their pace, and as they approached the light, they discovered it was a giant crystal ball, within which images were displayed.

In the scene, they saw the missing disciples, imprisoned in a dark space, their faces filled with pain and fear. The scene shifted, and a mysterious figure appeared, shrouded in darkness, its face obscured, yet radiating a powerful and evil aura.

"This is the mastermind?" Liu Ruoli asked in surprise.

Zhang Peng's face turned extremely ugly: "No matter who he is, we will not let him succeed."

Just then, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a bright light, and a line of text appeared within the light: "If you want to save your people, prepare to meet the challenge!"

Zhang Peng looked at the crystal ball, his eyes shining with determination: "We will definitely save them, and we will definitely expose your true colors!"

After saying that, Zhang Peng and the others continued along the passage, knowing that an even more difficult challenge awaited them...
