Chapter 132 Self-destruction
Chapter 132 Self-destruction
Zhuang Yu's gaze, like a sharp blade tempered with ice, pierced directly at the dark blue creatures floating around the treasure.
Their bodies resembled jellyfish magnified countless times, their transparent forms shimmering with an eerie light. They floated in rows in the air, silently radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
The air seemed to freeze, and each breath became incredibly heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on one's chest.
He took a deep breath, the cold air rushing into his lungs. He could clearly feel every inch of his skin tense up, an instinctive reaction to unknown danger.
His knuckles turned slightly white from the force he exerted, and his clenched fists were like two hard rocks, containing a power powerful enough to shake mountains.
He knew that these creatures before him were by no means benevolent.
The next moment, those dark blue creatures moved.
Without warning or a roar, they shot towards Zhuang Yu like arrows released from a bow, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.
The air was instantly torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek, as if countless sharp blades were slicing through the calm surface of a lake.
Zhuang Yu was prepared; his body swayed like a ghost, narrowly dodging the first wave of attacks.
His figure moved nimbly through the narrow space surrounding the treasure, like a lithe cheetah searching for its prey's weakness in a dangerous jungle.
The attacks from the azure creature came one after another like a storm, each attack carrying astonishing power and leaving behind a series of azure afterimages in the air.
In the brief moments between his dodges, he also attempted to counterattack, gathering spiritual energy at his fingertips, transforming it into sharp sword energy, and fiercely slashing at those creatures.
However, when the sword energy struck their bodies, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, only causing a ripple and no real damage.
The battle gradually intensified, and the entire cave was thrown into chaos by the fluctuations of their fighting spiritual energy.
The wind howled, dust flew everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning.
Zhuang Yu's clothes were torn by the strong wind, and several small wounds appeared on his skin. Bright red blood slowly seeped out, mixing with the dust, making it look particularly shocking.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
He paused, skillfully dodging an oncoming attack, his sharp eyes locking onto a direction that seemed to be the weak point of these eerie blue creatures.
He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within his body began to surge wildly like boiling magma.
He let out a low shout, his voice like a bell from the deepest hell, causing the entire cave to tremble slightly.
His aura reached its peak in that instant.
Zhuang Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He formed a hand seal and shouted, "Thunderbolt Break!" In an instant, arcs of electricity crackled around him, making him appear as if a thunder god had descended upon the world.
A bolt of golden lightning, as thick as a bucket, carrying a world-destroying force, headed straight for the center of the dark blue creature.
Wherever the golden lightning passed, the air distorted, space trembled, and a sharp, piercing shriek was emitted.
The pale blue creature seemed to sense a great threat, letting out a shrill cry. Its transparent body trembled violently as it tried to escape, but it was too late.
With a deafening roar, golden lightning slammed into the center of the dark blue creature, unleashing a dazzling light, like a small sun suddenly rising in the cave.
A powerful shockwave swept outwards, cracking the surrounding stone walls and sending debris flying everywhere.
The azure creature was struck by the golden lightning, letting out a shrill scream. Its transparent body was instantly shattered, and azure liquid splattered everywhere, falling like a torrential rain.
Its massive body convulsed violently a few times, the light quickly dimmed, and it finally fell helplessly to the ground, motionless.
Inside the cave, smoke filled the air, dust swirled, and a burnt smell permeated the atmosphere.
Zhuang Yu stood proudly, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking as majestic as a war god.
He exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look him in the eye.
Wang Yao watched nervously from the side, her heart pounding in her chest.
Seeing that Zhuang Yu was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuang Yu turned to look at Wang Yao, gave her a reassuring look, and smiled confidently.
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu's gaze sharpened, and his expression turned serious.
He grabbed Wang Yao's hand and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"
Zhuang Yu's gaze was sharp, fixed on the dark blue creatures that had been shattered by the lightning.
He didn't relax at all; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant because he knew that these creatures would not be so easily eliminated.
Sure enough, even more bizarre energy fluctuations began to surge within those shattered remains of the bodies.
"Yao'er, be careful, they're about to self-destruct!" Zhuang Yu shouted in a low voice. At the same time, he retreated swiftly like a cheetah, protecting Wang Yao behind him.
The next moment, the wreckage exploded like bombs, producing a series of earth-shattering sounds.
A pale blue energy splashed everywhere, shattering the surrounding stone walls and causing the entire cave to shake violently.
Zhuang Yu channeled his spiritual energy, creating solid barriers in front of him to block the shockwaves from the explosion.
After the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, the cave was a scene of utter devastation.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Zhuang Yu's tall and imposing figure was revealed. He was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, his brilliance so striking that no one dared to look directly at him.
Those dark blue creatures were completely reduced to dust, posing no threat whatsoever.
He turned around, his face beaming with the joy of victory, a confident smile playing on his lips.
His gaze fell upon the treasure, a treasure he had reached after overcoming numerous hardships, containing unimaginable power.
Zhuang Yu strode towards the treasure, each step filled with determination and confidence.
His figure appeared exceptionally tall in the cave, like a king about to ascend the throne, receiving worship from all directions.
The surrounding space seemed to sense his joy, and the air was filled with a jubilant atmosphere, as if celebrating his victory.
He reached out and gently touched the treasure that radiated a soft light.
A powerful force surged into his body instantly, like a rushing river, impacting every inch of his meridians.
His body began to tremble slightly, and his skin began to emit a faint golden light, a sign that power was flowing into his body.
Zhuang Yu slowly closed his eyes, feeling the power within his body continuously rising.
He could clearly feel that his strength was improving rapidly.
The barrier of the early Nascent Soul stage was as thin as paper in his eyes, easily broken with a gentle poke.
The spiritual energy within him surged wildly, like a runaway horse, as if it would burst his body apart.
This feeling filled him with immense excitement.
This is not only a major achievement in his exploration of the mysterious space, but also a crucial moment in his improvement of strength.
This is the cornerstone of his path to greater strength, and an important step in his transcendence of himself.
He believed that with this power, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and eventually stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
Just as he was about to fully absorb the treasure's power, Zhuang Yu felt as if he heard a voice in his ear, like an ancient incantation, or a whispered murmur...
He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who is speaking?"
The power within Zhuang Yu's body surged like a volcano, every inch of his flesh and blood filled with explosive energy.
He clearly felt that the bottleneck of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm had been broken through, and that invisible barrier was now as fragile as paper.
He could even hear the roar of the surging spiritual energy within his body, deafening and as if it were about to tear his body apart.
This powerful sense of strength prompted him to let out a deep, exhilarating roar.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a strange light deep within the cave.
It was a vortex-like portal of light, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
Mysterious runes flickered along the edge of the portal, flowing slowly like living things, as if beckoning him.
A sudden thought struck him, and a strong sense of longing welled up within him, compelling him to explore the secrets behind the portal.
"Yao'er, look!" Zhuang Yu pointed at the gate of light, his tone filled with excitement.
Wang Yao looked in the direction Zhuang Yu pointed and was also shocked by the mysterious gate of light before her.
She could sense the powerful force emanating from the portal of light, as well as the unknown dangers it contained.
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively grabbed Zhuang Yu's arm.
"Zhuang Yu, is it dangerous there?" Wang Yao's voice trembled slightly. It wasn't that she was timid, but rather that she was concerned about Zhuang Yu.
"Danger and opportunity coexist, Yao'er." Zhuang Yu's eyes gleamed with excitement, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a confident smile. "Now that we're here, we should at least go and see for ourselves."
He gently stroked Wang Yao's hand, his eyes firm, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Looking at Zhuang Yu's confident smile, Wang Yao's worries eased slightly. She nodded silently and followed closely behind Zhuang Yu.
The two walked side by side toward the portal, each step landing on the hard rock with a crisp sound.
The light emanating from the portal grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to devour them.
Zhuang Yu's breathing became rapid. He could feel the power within his body surging wildly, as if responding to the call of the portal.
He held Wang Yao's hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look.
The two took a deep breath and stepped into the mysterious gate of light at the same time.
The moment their figures disappeared through the portal, the entire cave fell silent, leaving only a faint glow in the air.
