Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 481 The Final Battle at the Peak and the Choice of Fate

As the light faded, the figure of the black-robed leader loomed in and out of view amidst the smoke. His black robes were tattered, revealing his wounded body beneath, from which blood gushed and dripped onto the ancient altar, creating an eerie scene against the backdrop of the runes radiating a mysterious light.

"No...this is impossible..." The black-robed leader's voice was filled with resentment and despair. He knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, trying to stand up, but he swayed precariously due to his severe injuries. However, a mad flame still burned in his eyes, a burning obsession and greed for power.

Zhang Peng and his two companions were also in dire straits, utterly exhausted after the fierce battle. Zhang Peng's clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, clinging tightly to his body. His face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was rapid and heavy. Yet, his gaze remained unwavering, fixed on the black-robed leader. The magical artifact in his hand trembled slightly, yet still radiated a powerful spiritual energy.

Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly, its blade bearing several cracks—marks left from his fierce battle with the black-robed man. His arm trembled slightly, and beads of sweat covered his forehead, large drops sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground. Yet, his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, constantly watching the black-robed leader's every move.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, which was stained with traces of blood—blood left during the battle to protect herself and her comrades. Her hair was disheveled, her face slightly pale, but her eyes shone with resilience and unyielding spirit. She breathed slightly, placing the jade flute to her lips once more, ready to unleash a powerful sonic spell at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to the black-robed leader.

"You think this is the end?" The black-robed leader suddenly let out a sinister laugh, which echoed in the silent night sky, sending chills down everyone's spine. With his laughter, the surrounding dark spiritual energy began to surge wildly, as if drawn by an invisible force, converging towards his body.

"Not good, he's absorbing dark spiritual energy, preparing for a final struggle!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He knew that once the black-robed leader absorbed enough dark spiritual energy, he would become even more dangerous. He immediately cast "Chaos Law Cage" in an attempt to trap the black-robed leader and stop him from absorbing the dark spiritual energy.

However, the black-robed leader seemed to have anticipated this. A black sphere suddenly appeared in his hand, its surface shimmering with eerie runes. He squeezed the sphere tightly, causing it to explode instantly. A powerful surge of dark energy spread outwards, blasting a gap in Zhang Peng's Chaos Law Cage. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the black-robed leader broke free from the cage's restraints and continued to frantically absorb dark spiritual energy.

"Damn it!" Zhang Peng shouted angrily. He once again used the "Chaos Law Shield" to protect the three of them. At the same time, he used the "Chaos Myriad Phenomena Break" to gather the power of the Chaos Law into a huge Chaos Sword and slashed at the black-robed leader.

Sensing the threat, the black-robed leader swiftly turned and conjured a black defensive barrier, blocking the Chaos Sword. The Chaos Sword collided with the barrier, producing a deafening roar, flashing light, and overflowing spiritual energy.

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 black-robed leader. Liu Ruoli played the strongest form of "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the black-robed leader.

Under the combined attack of the three, the black-robed leader's defenses were gradually weakened. Cracks appeared in his black defensive barrier, and its light dimmed. However, he continued to frantically absorb dark spiritual energy, attempting to increase his strength.

Suddenly, the black-robed leader roared, and a huge black vortex appeared around his body, flashing with countless black lightning bolts. He charged towards Zhang Peng and his companions, a black blade materializing in his hand, which he thrust towards Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng swiftly dodged, simultaneously unleashing "Chaos Sovereign's Sanction," compressing the laws of chaos, the power of the contract, and his own spiritual energy to their limits, forming a beam of multicolored light that shot towards the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader brandished his black blade, attempting to block the beam's attack.

Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly noticed a flicker of hesitation and struggle in the black-robed leader's eyes. A thought struck him, realizing that the black-robed leader might not be completely controlled by the dark forces, and that a sliver of reason might still exist deep within him.

"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, stop for now!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli, though puzzled, immediately ceased their attack.

Zhang Peng looked at the black-robed leader and said loudly, "You were not born evil, so why are you being controlled by dark forces? Do you really want to destroy the entire cultivation world for this illusory power?"

The black-robed leader paused, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "I... I just want power. I don't want to be looked down upon anymore..." His voice was tinged with pain and helplessness.

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Peng said, "Power is not for satisfying personal desires, but for protecting. As long as you let go of your obsessions, we can work together to protect the cultivation world and restore it to peace and tranquility."

The black-robed leader fell into deep thought, his eyes flickering with struggle and hesitation. The surrounding dark spiritual energy gradually ceased its surging, as if awaiting his decision…
