Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 402 The Illusory Moon's Desperate Situation and the Power of Redemption from Chaos

In the sky, a colossal crack, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, was continuously widened and expanded by the darkness. Dark power, like a surging black tsunami, poured forth from the crack, spreading swiftly and irresistibly throughout the entire Illusionary Moon Realm. The once tranquil and peaceful realm was instantly shrouded in endless darkness, and the mysterious and gentle azure moonlight was mercilessly swallowed by the darkness. A deathly silence descended, broken only by the low, guttural roar of the surging dark power, like the howl of a demon, echoing in this cursed space.

"How could this dark power suddenly erupt? Could it be the work of the man in black robes?" Murong Yu's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. He gripped his sword tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. His voice trembled slightly, barely concealed. He had never felt such a powerful and despairing aura of darkness before; it seemed to freeze his very soul.

Zhang Peng frowned, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, observing everything with a solemn expression. The power of the Chaos Law surged within him like magma, frantically searching for the source of this dark force and a way to break it. "Regardless of whether it was the work of the black-robed man, this dark force is hostile. We must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the entire Illusionary Moon Secret Realm will be destroyed, reduced to nothingness." His voice was deep and firm, echoing like a resounding bell in the deathly silent space.

Liu Ruoli frowned, extending her slender white fingers to gently stroke the jade flute, playing a stirring melody in an attempt to dispel the inky darkness. However, the sound waves vanished as soon as they spread, swallowed by the darkness without a ripple, as if they had never existed. "This dark power is too strong; my sound waves are no match for it," she said anxiously, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat that shimmered faintly in the darkness.

Pan Liwei and Cao Long exchanged a glance, simultaneously unleashing their dark spiritual power, attempting to find a familiar aura within this dark force and thus gain control of the situation. However, their dark spiritual power was like ants before a dragon, insignificant and minuscule. Not only was it ineffective, but they also faced the danger of being assimilated by the dark power. They could clearly feel the dark spiritual power within their bodies surging wildly, trying to break free from their control.

"No, our dark spiritual power is completely suppressed here, and we can't resist it at all." Pan Liwei gasped for breath, a painful expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the dark spiritual power in his body to prevent it from being devoured by the dark power. Every muscle tension revealed his struggle.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath. He knew that at this moment, he had to rely on the power of the Chaos Law and the mysterious bead he had just obtained. He gripped the bead tightly in his hand, as if holding onto his last hope. The power of the Chaos Law and the power of the bead merged, emitting a dazzling five-colored light, like a sun in the darkness, illuminating a small patch of space. Guided by the Chaos Law, he tried to use the power of the bead to resist the invasion of the dark forces. The light, like a nimble sprite, leaped and flickered in the darkness.

"Everyone, concentrate and channel your spiritual power into my body. Together, we will use the power of the bead to fight against the darkness!" Zhang Peng shouted, his voice filled with determination and encouragement, like a horn sounding in the darkness.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others immediately circulated their spiritual energy, continuously pouring their power into Zhang Peng's body. Zhang Peng felt the power within his body constantly increasing, the power surging like a tidal wave through his meridians. His eyes became even more resolute, as if burning with an inextinguishable flame.

"The power of chaos merges with heaven and earth; the mysterious bead dispels the darkness!" Zhang Peng roared, his voice echoing across the land. He raised the bead high in his hand, its multicolored light shining like a blazing sun, shooting towards the dark forces. That light, carrying boundless hope and power, pierced through the darkness like a sharp sword, attempting to sever this endless darkness.

The light and darkness collided violently, producing a deafening roar that seemed to make the entire world tremble in that instant. The dark power paused briefly under the impact of the light; in that moment of stillness, time itself seemed to freeze. But soon, the dark power surged forth again, attempting to break through the light's barrier, like an enraged beast, launching an even more frenzied counterattack.

"Everyone, give it your all! We can't lose to this dark power!" Zhang Peng shouted, channeling the power of the Chaos Laws to his fullest extent, continuously strengthening the bead. His body trembled slightly, every muscle straining, every cell burning, as if he were releasing all his power.

Murong Yu unleashed the strongest move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," pouring his spiritual power into Zhang Peng without reservation. His eyes shone with determination, as if his very life had been merged into this power. Liu Ruoli played the strongest sound wave of "Chaotic Spiritual Sound Break," the sound wave transforming into a powerful force that merged with the multicolored light. That sound wave was like an invisible torrent, carrying boundless power, crashing against the darkness. Pan Liwei and Cao Long also unleashed their strongest attacks of dark spiritual power. Their spiritual power converged, merging with the power of the chaotic laws to jointly resist the dark forces. Their figures appeared so small in the darkness, yet their power was so immense.

With everyone working together, the multicolored light gradually gained the upper hand, and the dark power began to slowly retreat. However, the counterattack of the dark power became increasingly fierce, and the dark power surging from the cracks grew stronger and stronger, seemingly endless, like a dark abyss that could never be filled.

“This can’t go on. We must find the source of the dark power and sever it completely,” Zhang Peng said, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense its source. Under the unique perception of the Chaos Law, he discovered that the source of the dark power was a mysterious magic circle deep within the rift. This magic circle seemed to have some intricate connection to the dark power the black-robed man had tried to awaken in the border cave. The magic circle flickered with an eerie light in the darkness, as if summoning destruction.

"I've found the source of the dark power—a magic array deep within the rift. We must find a way to get close to it and destroy it!" Zhang Peng shouted, his voice filled with a mixture of excitement and tension.

The group nodded and, led by Zhang Peng, flew deeper into the rift. Along the way, the dark forces launched relentless attacks; black tentacles reached out from all directions, like a horde of crazed demons, attempting to halt their advance. Zhang Peng wielded his divine sword, each swing severing a tentacle. Multicolored sword energy flashed in the darkness like shooting stars, carving a bloody path through the darkness. The sword energy whistled through the darkness, as if declaring their defiance to the very fabric of the chasm.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the magic circle. A massive black magic circle floated in the air, surging with endless dark power. The runes flickered with eerie light, as if telling an ancient curse. The magic circle was like a giant vortex, devouring all the light around it.

"This is the magic array; we must destroy it as soon as possible!" Zhang Peng said. He wielded his divine sword, unleashing a unique sword technique that combined the laws of chaos with the divine artifact. A five-colored sword aura containing boundless power shot towards the magic array. The sword aura carried a world-destroying momentum as it rushed towards the magic array, as if it wanted to completely destroy the source of this darkness.

The sword energy struck the magic array, triggering a violent energy fluctuation. The array shone brightly, its black runes flashing wildly, seemingly resisting Zhang Peng's attack. However, Zhang Peng's attack was too powerful; cracks began to appear on the array's runes, spreading across it like a broken spiderweb.

Just as Zhang Peng was preparing to launch another attack, the dark power suddenly changed. The black tentacles that had been attacking them quickly retracted, converging around the magic circle to form a sturdy black shield, protecting it. The shield was like an indestructible black wall, radiating a chilling aura.

"This dark power can actually defend itself!" Murong Yu exclaimed in surprise, his face full of shock and confusion.

Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He knew this was the dark forces' last struggle. He concentrated, mobilizing all the power within him, preparing to launch a final attack. His eyes shone with determination and resolve, as if declaring to the darkness: You cannot escape.

"Everyone, give me your strength!" Zhang Peng shouted. Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others, upon hearing this, poured their spiritual energy into Zhang Peng's body. As Zhang Peng felt the power within him steadily increasing, his eyes became even more resolute, as if burning with an inextinguishable flame.

"Chaos returns to one, divine artifact destroys the world, bead dispels evil!" Zhang Peng roared, fusing the power of the chaotic laws, the power of the divine artifact, the power of the mysterious bead, and the spiritual power of everyone together. A sword aura, infused with endless light and power, shot towards the magic array with a world-destroying momentum. The sword aura was like a giant dragon with boundless light, roaring as it charged towards the magic array, and wherever it went, darkness dissipated.

The light struck the black shield, shattering it instantly. The powerful force continued its charge towards the core of the magic circle. Under the impact of this force, the magic circle finally crumbled, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air. The sound of shattering seemed like a dark lament, announcing its defeat.

As the magic circle shattered, the dark power rapidly dissipated, and the cracks in the sky gradually healed. The Illusionary Moon Realm returned to tranquility, and the deep blue moonlight once again bathed the earth, illuminating this place that had once been shrouded in darkness. That moonlight was like a gentle hand, caressing this land that had endured so much suffering.

Zhang Peng and the others collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with the joy of surviving a close call. "We... succeeded," Liu Ruoli said wearily, a relieved smile spreading across her face, a smile as warm and radiant as the spring sun.

Zhang Peng slowly stood up, gazing at the mysterious bead and divine sword in his hands, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that the victory in this battle had not only saved the Illusionary Moon Realm but also brought a glimmer of hope to the cultivation world. The bead and sword shimmered in the moonlight, as if telling their legendary tales.

“Let’s take the treasure back to the cultivation world and tell everyone the news. Let them know that as long as we are united, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome,” Zhang Peng said, his voice full of hope and encouragement.

The group nodded and, led by Zhang Peng, left the Illusionary Moon Secret Realm. Their figures, bathed in moonlight, appeared exceptionally resolute. They knew that the future of the cultivation world might present various challenges, but as long as they possessed the power of the Chaos Laws and their united faith, they would surely overcome all difficulties and protect this land they loved…
