Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 453 Exploring Ruins and the Allure of Mysterious Power

The Frost Abyss Python's tail, like a thick black steel whip, lashed out with tremendous force, accompanied by a whistling wind, striking the "Cage of Laws" with overwhelming power. In an instant, the cage's light flickered violently, emitting a sharp hissing sound, as if it could not withstand the weight and would shatter at any moment. Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly with both hands, the blade trembling slightly. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead, shimmering faintly in the dim light, yet his eyes revealed unwavering determination. "Zhang Peng, this python's power is beyond imagination. We must not let our guard down!" His voice trembled slightly with tension, but the resolve within it was clearly audible.

Zhang Peng's expression was cold and stern, his body surging with the chaotic law power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, focusing all his efforts on strengthening the cage's defenses. His gaze, like two sharp blades, was fixed on the Frost Abyss Demon Python, not missing a single subtle movement, trying to find a weakness. "Everyone, stay calm. This demon python is powerful, but we are no ordinary people either." His voice was deep and powerful, injecting a boost of confidence into the tense atmosphere. At the same time, he concentrated his mind, circulating the power of the chaotic law to sense the power fluctuations of the demon python, his focused expression suggesting that everything around him was irrelevant.

Liu Ruoli gently placed the jade flute to her lips and played the "Sonic Chaos Shield." The melodious flute music echoed through the pervasive mist, the sound waves transforming into an invisible yet resilient force that mingled with the power of the cage, barely maintaining its stability. Her fingers danced nimbly across the jade flute like agile sprites, yet beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, clearly indicating that maintaining this powerful defense had taken a toll on her. "I will do everything in my power to maintain the shield. You find an opportunity to attack it!" Her voice, though weary, carried an unwavering determination.

Under the keen detection of the Chaos Law, Zhang Peng discovered that the Seven Necks Point of the Frost Abyss Python was its weakest point. However, the python moved with ghostly agility, making it extremely difficult to attack its Seven Necks Point. "Murong Yu, I'll use the Chaos Law to restrain the python, you seize the opportunity to attack its Seven Necks Point!" Zhang Peng shouted loudly, his voice carrying far through the mist.

Having said that, he unleashed the "Control of Chaos Laws," attempting to disrupt the demonic python's rhythm. Under the influence of the mysterious power of the Chaos Laws, the demonic python's movements indeed slowed briefly, its previously swift attack rhythm disrupted. Seeing this, Murong Yu immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, unleashing the killing move of the "Chaos Breeze Sword," "Breathless Breeze Demon-Slaying Slash." A sharp sword aura, imbued with the power of the Chaos Laws, streaked across the night sky like lightning, piercing towards the demonic python's vital point.

Sensing a deadly threat, the demonic python twisted its body violently with incredible speed, attempting to evade the fierce attack. The sword energy grazed the python's scales, leaving only a shallow mark. "Damn it, it dodged!" Murong Yu gritted his teeth in frustration, his face filled with resentment.

"Don't be discouraged, keep looking for opportunities!" Zhang Peng quickly encouraged him, his voice filled with trust and expectation. Immediately afterward, he unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Forms Break" again, the power of chaotic laws rapidly coalescing into a gigantic chaotic sword, carrying a world-destroying, overwhelming momentum as it slashed fiercely at the demonic python. The demonic python, not to be outdone, opened its blood-red maw, spewing out a torrent of icy air, which clashed violently with the chaotic sword.

The powerful impact, like a hurricane, dispersed much of the surrounding mist, gradually revealing the outline of the ruins ahead. Liu Ruoli's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Look, the ruins are just ahead! Let's rush over there!"

Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly said, "Deal with this demonic python first, then go to the ruins." At this moment, he keenly noticed that after the demonic python attacked, its defenses would momentarily falter at its seven-inch mark. "Murong Yu, watch out for that momentary opening after the demonic python's attack!" he reminded him again.

The demonic python seemed enraged and launched another attack, spewing out a column of icy air that seemed to freeze the air wherever it touched. Zhang Peng used a variant of "Law Prison" to firmly block the column of icy air, while simultaneously using the power of the Chaos Law to interfere with the python's movements. After the python finished its attack, its defenses at its seven-inch mark indeed showed a brief opening.

Murong Yu seized the opportunity and unleashed the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Chaotic Breeze Annihilation." A sword aura containing boundless power tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and accurately pierced the demonic python's vital spot. The demonic python let out a painful roar, the sound echoing through the valley, its body shaking violently, and scales began to fall off one by one.

Seeing this, Liu Ruoli immediately played "Sonic Chaos Impact." The sound waves transformed into tangible blades, like flying knives, slicing through the demonic python's wounds. Under the combined attack of the three, the demonic python's strength gradually weakened, and it finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, turning into a pool of blood that dissipated into the air.

Having defeated the Frost Abyss Serpent, the three headed towards the ruins. As they drew closer, they discovered the ruins' gate was tightly shut, covered in strange runes that emanated a mysterious aura, as if telling ancient stories. Zhang Peng circulated his late-stage Nascent Soul spiritual power, attempting to decipher the runes' meaning. With the aid of the Chaos Laws, he gradually realized that these runes were an ancient restriction, and only by finding a specific key could the gate be opened.

"It seems we need to find the key first," Zhang Peng said, his voice filled with anticipation and curiosity.

They searched meticulously around the ruins, leaving no corner unchecked. Finally, in a hidden cave, they found a key emitting a faint glow. Zhang Peng carefully picked up the key, as if holding a priceless treasure, and returned to the gate of the ruins. The moment he inserted the key into the lock, the runes shone brightly, almost blindingly so. The gate slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura wafted out, as if traversing a thousand years of time.

The three cautiously entered the ruins. The interior was dark and damp, filled with a putrid smell, causing them to frown. Suddenly, a massive stone gate appeared ahead, with a huge rune pattern carved on it, radiating powerful spiritual energy, as if warning the intruders.

Murong Yu stepped forward and tried to push open the stone door with both hands, but found that the door wouldn't budge. "This stone door is sealed by a powerful restriction. How can we open it?" he asked, his face full of confusion.

Zhang Peng carefully observed the runes on the stone gate and discovered that they were intricately connected to the runes he had previously deciphered. He concentrated his mind, used the power of the Chaos Law, and slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the stone gate according to the patterns of the runes.

As spiritual energy was infused, the runes on the stone door gradually lit up, and the door trembled slowly, emitting a muffled sound, as if a colossal beast that had slumbered for millennia was about to awaken. Just as the stone door was about to open, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from within the ruins, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Want to break the seal? Not so easy!" A phantom figure slowly emerged, exuding a chilling aura, holding a scythe that emitted blue light, like a messenger from hell.

"Another guardian spirit!" Liu Ruoli exclaimed, her voice tinged with fear.

Zhang Peng's expression was grave. He knew a new battle was about to begin, and behind this stone door might lie the key to unraveling the mysterious organization's conspiracy, or it might conceal an even greater danger...
