Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 505 The Abyss and the Struggle for the Shadow Crystal

The group proceeded in the direction Su Yi indicated, but the dense darkness acted like an invisible wall, blocking their path. Zhang Peng unleashed the power of Starlight Radiance, attempting to dispel the darkness; however, the darkness was too intense, and the starlight could only barely illuminate a small area. Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a low buzzing sound, seemingly resisting the encroachment of the darkness. Liu Ruoli placed her jade flute to her lips and played "Sonic Chaos Impact," attempting to tear a gap in the darkness with the power of sound waves, but the sound waves quickly dissipated in the darkness, yielding little effect.

As they drew closer, a powerful and malevolent aura swept over them, sending chills down their spines. Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed from the darkness, and a colossal figure slowly emerged. This figure, formed from dark power, was as tall as a mountain, with a massive skull as its head. Eerie green flames flickered in its empty eye sockets, and six thick arms wielded black blades, radiating a terrifying aura.

"What kind of monster is this?" Murong Yu exclaimed, the Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand trembling slightly.

"This is the guardian of the Dark Abyss—the Shadow Demon Corpse." Su Yi's voice carried a hint of fear. He had seen records of the Shadow Demon Corpse in the ancient books of the dark forces and knew that it was an extremely powerful being.

The Shadow Demon Corpse let out a deafening roar, its voice containing immense dark power, and surged towards Zhang Peng and the others like a tangible shockwave. Zhang Peng immediately activated "Star Shield," protecting everyone within it. The shockwave struck the Star Shield with a deafening roar, causing the Star Shield to shake violently, its light flickering erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment.

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, shooting towards the Shadow Demon Corpse. The sword aura struck the Shadow Demon Corpse's body, splashing up a cloud of black sparks, but failed to cause it any substantial damage.

Liu Ruoli played the strongest form of "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a massive vortex that enveloped the Shadow Demon Corpse. Under the impact of the sound waves, the Shadow Demon Corpse trembled slightly, but it quickly adapted to the attack and continued to approach the group.

Su Yi unleashed an upgraded version of the forbidden dark technique. The black light contained an even more concentrated dark power, surging towards the Shadow Demon's remains. The forbidden dark technique collided with the Shadow Demon's dark power, producing booming sounds, and flashes of dark light illuminated the surrounding darkness.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that although the Shadow Demon's power was immense, its movements were rather slow, and it would make noticeable movements before each attack. A thought struck him, and he devised a countermeasure.

"Listen up, everyone! The Shadow Demon is slow-moving. We'll exploit its weakness and use guerrilla tactics to wear it down!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately changed their attack strategy. Murong Yu circled around to the left side of the Shadow Demon Corpse and unleashed the killing move "Clear Wind Sky-Splitting Slash" from the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," sending several sword energies like sharp blades piercing towards the Shadow Demon Corpse's side. Liu Ruoli, on the other hand, moved to the right side of the Shadow Demon Corpse and played "Sonic Chaos Interference," the sound waves vibrating in the air to interfere with the Shadow Demon Corpse's vision and hearing.

Zhang Peng unleashed "Stellar Spacetime Reversal," manipulating the power of the stars to reverse the power of the Shadow Demon's body, reflecting its attack back. Simultaneously, he unleashed an enhanced version of "Stellar Shattering Fist," his fist, imbued with the power of the stars, slamming into the Shadow Demon's leg.

Under the combined attack of the three, cracks appeared on the Shadow Demon's body, and its power gradually weakened. However, the Shadow Demon was not easily defeated. It let out a roar, and the dark power around it surged instantly. It broke free from Zhang Peng's stellar power restraints and pounced towards the three.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately unleashed the strongest form of "Star Shield," tightly protecting the three of them within it. The Shadow Demon's attack crashed heavily against the Star Shield, causing it to flicker violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

At this critical moment, Zhang Peng suddenly discovered a weakness in the core of the Shadow Demon's remains, where the dark power was relatively weak. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Stars Shining World to perceive the location of the weakness.

"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, let's attack its core weakness together!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli nodded in understanding, and they unleashed their strongest attacks. Murong Yu used the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," while Liu Ruoli played the strongest form of the "Sonic Chaos Impact."

Zhang Peng unleashed "Starry Sky Dominator's Sanction," his strongest move to date. A beam of multicolored light descended from the sky, enveloping the Shadow Demon's core weakness. Under the impact of the light, the Shadow Demon let out a shrill scream as its body began to gradually dissipate.

"No... I'm not reconciled..." As the voice of the Shadow Demon gradually faded away, it was finally completely destroyed.

Having dealt with the Shadow Demon's remains, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Peng continued to use the power of the stars to dispel the darkness ahead. Finally, they saw a stone platform, on which rested a black crystal emitting a ghostly light—the Shadow Demon Crystal.

Just as they were about to pick up the Shadow Crystal, an even more powerful dark force suddenly surged from the Dark Abyss, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness...
