Chapter 399 The Perilous Realm of the Illusory Moon and its Mysterious Guardians
Stepping into the Illusory Moon Realm, a mysterious and ancient aura immediately enveloped them. A huge crescent moon hung high in the sky, emitting a ghostly blue light that bathed the entire realm in a hazy moonlight. On the ground, strange plants emitted a faint glow, their shapes varied, some like lively elves, others like twisted monsters. An eerie silence reigned all around, broken only by the soft sound of their footsteps echoing across this mystical land.
"This Illusionary Moon Realm is even more bizarre than we imagined," Murong Yu said in a low voice, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword tightly as he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings, not missing a single corner that might harbor danger. Moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his solemn expression.
Zhang Peng nodded slightly, the power of the Chaos Law flowing quietly within his body, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. His gaze was deep and sharp, attempting to pierce through this veil of mystery and perceive everything within the secret realm. "Everyone must be careful; every corner here may conceal deadly dangers."
Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, playing soft sound waves in an attempt to probe her surroundings. However, the sound waves were immediately swallowed up by an invisible force and vanished without a trace. "Strange, this secret realm seems to have an extremely strong repulsive force against sound waves; my detection spell has completely failed." She frowned, a hint of unease in her eyes.
Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power, attempting to find a trace of familiarity in this mysterious environment. However, their dark spiritual power was inexplicably interfered with in this secret realm, becoming extremely unstable. "This place is too strange; it seems our spiritual power is being suppressed by something," Pan Liwei said gravely, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
The group proceeded cautiously, and soon a vast stone forest appeared ahead. The stones in the forest were of various shapes, some towering into the clouds, others low like hills, and each stone was covered with strange symbols and patterns, similar to those they had previously found in the border caves.
“These symbols on the stones might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the secret realm,” Zhang Peng said. He stepped forward and carefully examined the symbols on a stone, using the power of the Chaos Law to decipher their meaning. Guided by the Chaos Law, he gradually understood the meaning of some of the symbols; these symbols seemed to be guiding them deeper into the secret realm.
“Follow me, let’s follow these symbols,” Zhang Peng said, and the group followed closely behind him as they entered the stone forest.
In the stone forest, the group's view was obstructed by the intricate network of rocks, and every step was filled with unknown fear. Suddenly, Liu Ruoli felt a chilling aura coming from behind her, and she instinctively cast a sonic spell for defense. With a "bang," the sonic wave struck an invisible object, producing a dull thud.
"There's something behind us!" Liu Ruoli shouted in terror.
Zhang Peng immediately turned around and unleashed the Chaos Law Sword Technique, sending a five-colored sword aura slashing backward. The sword aura sliced through the air but failed to strike any substantial object; only a sharp whistling sound was heard, as if something was fleeing rapidly.
"Everyone be careful, this thing is extremely fast and adept at hiding its presence," Zhang Peng shouted, a hint of seriousness in his eyes. "It might be a guardian spirit of the secret realm, and we must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."
The group continued onward, the mysterious aura remaining a constant companion, launching attacks from various directions. Each attack pushed their nerves to the limit, constantly draining their physical and spiritual energy.
"This won't do. We must find a way to break through the guardian spirit's attack, otherwise we won't be able to penetrate deeper into the secret realm," Murong Yu said, panting heavily. His face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes still showed determination.
Zhang Peng pondered for a moment, realizing that the guardian spirit's attack seemed to be related to some kind of power fluctuation within the stone forest. He concentrated, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense this power fluctuation, trying to find the guardian spirit's weakness. Finally, through the unique perception of the Chaos Law, he discovered that the guardian spirit's power originated from a special stone in the stone forest.
"I've found the Guardian Spirit's weakness! This stone is its source of power. If we destroy it, we can break the Guardian Spirit's attack," Zhang Peng shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone unleashed their spells, attacking the peculiar stone. Zhang Peng wielded his divine sword, employing a unique sword technique that combined the laws of chaos with the artifact, unleashing a five-colored sword aura imbued with boundless power towards the stone. Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," Liu Ruoli played the "Chaotic Spiritual Sound Break," and Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed the "Chaotic Darkness Guardian" attack. Their combined power surged towards the stone.
With everyone's combined attack, a crack finally appeared in the stone. As the crack widened, the guardian spirit's attacks slowed down, and its form gradually became visible. The guardian spirit was ghostly, emanating a cold aura, its eyes flashing red, filled with anger and resentment.
"Now! Give it the final blow!" Zhang Peng shouted. He unleashed the strongest strike of the Chaos Law Sword Technique, "Chaos Myriad Phenomena Collapse," and the five-colored sword energy, like a blooming lotus flower, swept towards the guardian spirit.
The guardian spirit let out a piercing scream before vanishing into nothingness. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, their clothes soaked with sweat.
"We...successfully," Liu Ruoli said wearily, a relieved smile on her face.
Zhang Peng slowly stood up, gazing into the depths of the stone forest, but his heart remained uneasy. He knew this was merely a minor crisis within the Illusionary Moon Secret Realm; the real challenge lay ahead.
After a short rest, the group continued following the symbols. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived before a massive palace. The palace gates were tightly shut, covered with various mysterious patterns and runes, radiating a powerful restrictive force.
“This palace might hold the mysterious treasure we’re looking for,” Zhang Peng said. He stepped forward and carefully examined the runes on the gate, trying to find a way to break the seal.
Just then, a deep roar suddenly echoed from within the palace, filled with threat. "Be careful, there's a powerful creature inside the palace!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to create a protective barrier around everyone.
The palace gates slowly opened, and a colossal guardian beast emerged. The beast was as large as a mountain, its entire body covered in golden scales, each scale shimmering with dazzling light. Its eyes gleamed with golden light, filled with majesty and fury.
"This guardian beast is very strong, everyone attack together!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the Chaos Law Sword Technique, a five-colored sword aura shot towards the guardian beast.
Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," Liu Ruoli played the jade flute, and Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power. Everyone then used their own spells to attack the guardian beast.
The guardian beast roared, swinging its massive claws as it slammed them towards the protective barrier. "Bang!" The barrier shook violently, and Zhang Peng and the others were thrown back several steps.
"Everyone stay calm and don't panic!" Zhang Peng shouted as he carefully observed the guardian beast's attack patterns, searching for its weaknesses.
During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng noticed that the guardian beast's scales would briefly gap open when it attacked. "Everyone, pay attention, attack the gaps in its scales!" Zhang Peng shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack methods. Zhang Peng unleashed the strongest strike of his Chaos Law Sword Technique, a five-colored sword aura containing boundless power shooting towards the gaps in the guardian beast's scales. Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others also unleashed their own special skills, attacking the gaps in the guardian beast's scales.
With everyone's combined attack, the guardian beast's defenses were finally breached. It let out a painful roar, swayed a few times, and collapsed to the ground.
As the guardian beast fell, the palace gates slowly opened. An ancient and mysterious aura wafted out. Zhang Peng and the others cautiously entered the palace, knowing that the mysterious treasure might lie within...
