Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 356 Shadowy Clash and the Emergence of Mysterious Clues

Zhang Peng and the others stared intently at the dark figure rapidly approaching within the vortex of spiritual energy, their spiritual energy circulating around them as they prepared for battle. As the figure drew closer, they gradually came to see clearly that it was a mysterious person dressed in a black robe, his face hidden beneath a hood. He exuded a cold and eerie aura that resonated with the chaotic spiritual energy around him, as if he were the source of this abnormal spiritual energy.

"Who goes there? Why are you on the border of the cultivation world, disrupting the order of spiritual energy?" Zhang Peng stepped forward and shouted, his long sword trembling slightly, the power of chaotic laws flowing on the blade, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The mysterious man did not respond, but only let out a low, cold laugh. Suddenly, he rapidly formed hand seals, and the surrounding spiritual energy vortex instantly became even more violent. Beams of black spiritual energy shot out from the vortex like sharp blades, attacking Zhang Peng and the others.

"Watch out!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the power of the Chaos Law to form a five-colored protective barrier around everyone. The black spiritual energy beams struck the barrier, producing booming sounds and sparks, causing the barrier to shake violently as if it would shatter at any moment.

Murong Yu brandished his longsword and charged toward the mysterious man: "How dare you launch a sneak attack! I'll take you down!" He unleashed the ultimate technique of the "Gentle Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword," "Gentle Breeze Chasing the Moon," a sharp sword aura accompanied by a whistling wind, slashing toward the mysterious man.

The mysterious figure deftly sidestepped, easily dodging Murong Yu's attack. He extended a hand, a ball of black spiritual energy condensing in his palm, and hurled it towards Murong Yu. Murong Yu quickly swung his sword to block, the black spiritual energy colliding with the sword energy, unleashing a powerful impact that sent Murong Yu staggering back several steps.

Seeing this, Liu Ruoli immediately began to play her jade flute. The melodious flute music instantly transformed into sonic spells, like an invisible force, rushing towards the mysterious man. The sonic waves swirled around him, attempting to disrupt his movements.

The mysterious man remained unmoved. He formed another hand seal, and a powerful dark force surged from his body, dispelling all the sonic spells. "You think you can stop me?" The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and cold, filled with endless mockery.

Pan Liwei and Cao Long exchanged a glance, then unleashed their dark spiritual power to attack the mysterious man from both sides. They were highly skilled in using dark power, attempting to exploit this to find a weakness in the mysterious man.

The mysterious man sensed their intentions, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Dark spiritual power is nothing but child's play in front of me." He waved his hands, and an even more powerful dark force enveloped Pan Liwei and Cao Long. The two of them immediately felt their bodies tighten, and their spiritual power was blocked.

"Oh no, this mysterious person is too strong!" Cao Long shouted.

Seeing his companion in trouble, Zhang Peng was anxious. He concentrated his mind and fully activated the power of the Chaos Law, trying to find the mysterious man's weakness. Under the perception of the Chaos Law, he discovered that although the mysterious man's power was strong, he seemed to have some special connection with the surrounding spiritual energy vortex. Whenever the power of the spiritual energy vortex increased, the mysterious man's strength would also increase.

A thought struck Zhang Peng, and he decided to sever the connection between the mysterious figure and the spiritual energy vortex. He unleashed the powerful force of the Chaos Law, shooting it towards the center of the vortex. A beam of multicolored light pierced through the vortex, attempting to disrupt the order of the spiritual energy within.

As Zhang Peng attacked, the spiritual energy vortex began to fluctuate, and the mysterious man's power weakened accordingly. "Hmph, you've got some skill." The mysterious man sneered, rapidly changing hand seals as he tried to regain control of the spiritual energy vortex.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed a Chaos Law sword technique, a five-colored sword aura carrying world-destroying power, slashing towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man hurriedly defended himself, unleashing dark spiritual power to form a black shield.

"Boom!" The five-colored sword energy collided with the black shield, producing a deafening roar. The powerful energy impact dispersed the surrounding spiritual energy vortex, and cracks appeared on the mysterious man's shield.

Seeing the situation was dire, the mysterious man abandoned the fight and turned to flee. Zhang Peng, however, wouldn't let him escape so easily. He unleashed the "Chaotic Sky-Splitting Step," instantly appearing before the mysterious man. "Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Zhang Peng roared, once again unleashing his Chaotic Law Sword Technique.

The mysterious man was forced to defend himself again, his power gradually depleted under Zhang Peng's continuous attacks. Finally, his black shield shattered, and he was struck by the multicolored sword energy, flying backward.

The mysterious man collapsed to the ground, his breath faint. Zhang Peng and the others quickly surrounded him. "Speak, who are you? Why are you disturbing the spiritual energy at the border of the cultivation world?" Zhang Peng asked coldly.

The mysterious man raised his head, revealing a pale face with a strange smile on his lips: "You think you can stop everything by capturing me? How naive..." After saying that, his body suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Damn it! He got away!" Murong Yu said angrily.

Zhang Peng frowned, carefully observing the spot where the mysterious man had disappeared, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, he noticed a black token on the ground, engraved with a mysterious symbol and emitting a faint aura of darkness.

"What is this?" Liu Ruoli picked up the token and asked in confusion.

Zhang Peng took the token and carefully examined the symbols on it: "I have never seen this symbol before, but the dark aura on this token is very similar to the power of the mysterious person. This may be the key clue to solving this crisis."

They continued their search along the border, hoping to find more clues about the mysterious figure. In a valley ravaged by a vortex of spiritual energy, they discovered some strange traces. These traces resembled the remains of some kind of magic circle, and the surrounding spiritual energy exhibited a peculiar flow.

Zhang Peng crouched down and carefully examined the marks: "This should be a teleportation array, but it's different from the arrays we usually see. It seems to be used to open a passage to some mysterious space."

Murong Yu looked around: "Could it be that the mysterious person came to the border of the cultivation world through this magic array? And what kind of mysterious space does he want to open?"

Zhang Peng pondered for a moment: "No matter what that mysterious space is, the mysterious person's purpose is definitely not simple. We must find out everything as soon as possible, otherwise the cultivation world will face a huge crisis."

Following the traces of the magic array, they continued their search for clues. Deep in the valley, they discovered a tattered ancient book. The writing on the book was extremely ancient and difficult to decipher, but Zhang Peng, relying on his knowledge of ancient texts and his perception of the power of the Chaos Laws, managed to barely decipher a portion of its contents.

Ancient texts record a legend about the Chaos Abyss. In this legend, the Chaos Abyss is a mysterious and dangerous place, containing endless dark power. In ancient times, a powerful force attempted to open a passage to the Chaos Abyss, unleash its dark power, and rule the world. However, their plan was thwarted by a group of powerful cultivators; the passage was sealed, and their force was destroyed.

"Could it be that the mysterious person wants to open the passage to the Chaos Abyss?" Liu Ruoli said in surprise.

Zhang Peng nodded: "Very likely. If the passage to the Chaos Abyss is opened and dark forces flood into the cultivation world, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must find a way to stop the mysterious man as soon as possible."

Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy coming from afar. This surge was unlike any other spiritual energy he had encountered before; it was far more violent, as if a great catastrophe was about to befall them…
