Chapter 565 Dark Self-Destruction and the Crisis of Sealing Mysterious Power

The power generated by the explosion of the Dark Self-Destruct Bead was like a surging black tsunami, instantly engulfing a large area of ​​the surrounding seawater. The powerful impact shattered Zhang Peng's Star Shield, and he was also sent flying by the force, crashing heavily into the wall of the deep-sea ruins, a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, Su Yi, and Lan Bing were also affected by this force. Murong Yu wielded the Chaos Breeze Sword, attempting to resist the impact of the dark power, but the Chaos Sword Qi proved so fragile before this dark force. He was swept up by the dark power, his body tumbling uncontrollably. Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, but the sound waves were instantly submerged in the darkness, and her body was also forced back by the impact of the dark power. Su Yi's forbidden dark technique was backfired by the power of the dark self-destruction; he groaned in pain in the darkness, black cracks appearing on his body. Lan Bing unleashed the strongest defensive move of ice magic, "Absolute Zero Ice Shield," but the ice shield melted rapidly under the impact of the dark power, and she was also shaken, her blood churning.

"Cough cough... How could the power of this Dark Self-Destruct Bead be so strong!" Murong Yu struggled to stand up, his face full of shock and anger.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the dark power, the man in black robes charged towards the fallen staff. His eyes gleamed with madness as he muttered, "This staff is mine, and the mystical power will be mine too! No one can stop me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Peng was extremely anxious. Ignoring his injuries, he frantically circulated the power of Starry Sky and the power of the Heart of the Stars within his body, attempting to gather strength again to stop the man in black robes. However, the residual power of the Dark Self-Destruction Bead still lingered, and the surrounding dark forces continuously interfered with his Starry Sky power.

"We can't let him get the staff!" Liu Ruoli, enduring her physical discomfort, played "Sonic Chaos Interference" to try and disrupt the black-robed man's movements. The sound wave struggled through the darkness and finally struck the black-robed man. His body stiffened slightly, but he only paused briefly before continuing his charge towards the staff.

Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," the "Breath-Splitting Slash," sending several sword energies imbued with chaotic power towards the black-robed man. Sensing the threat of the sword energies, the black-robed man dodged to the side, but one of the sword energies still grazed his arm, leaving a deep wound. The black-robed man let out a scream, but he didn't stop; instead, he quickened his pace.

Su Yi gathered power in the darkness and unleashed the hidden killing move of the forbidden dark art, "Dark Soul Impact." An invisible dark force surged into the depths of the black-robed man's soul. The man's body trembled violently, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. But he gritted his teeth and, relying on his powerful willpower, broke free from the effects of the soul impact.

Lan Bing brandished her staff, and the ice spell "Ice Cage" formed in front of the black-robed man. Huge blocks of ice rapidly solidified, attempting to trap him. The black-robed man waved his hands, and dark power shattered the ice, continuing its advance towards the staff.

Just as the black-robed man was about to touch the staff, Zhang Peng finally gathered enough stellar power. He unleashed the ultimate enhanced version of the "Star Shattering Fist," the stellar power condensing into a dazzling ball of light on his fist, carrying boundless power and radiance, and blasting towards the black-robed man.

The moment the orb of light struck the man in black, it erupted with dazzling light. The man in black let out a desperate scream as his body was engulfed by the light and he was blasted away. He crashed heavily onto the seabed, motionless, clearly unconscious.

Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They slowly walked to the black-robed man's side, confirming that he was no longer a threat. Then, Zhang Peng carefully picked up the staff and used his stellar power to sense the secrets within it. He discovered that the staff not only contained runes for controlling dark power, but also hid crucial information about the sealing of a mysterious power.

"This staff is closely connected to a seal of mysterious power. We must find the location of the seal as soon as possible and break it to completely eliminate the hidden danger," Zhang Peng told his companions.

The group nodded, knowing that although they had temporarily defeated the man in black, the real challenge had only just begun. They packed their belongings and, guided by the information hidden within the staff, set off towards the location where the mysterious power was sealed…
