Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 115 First Search for the Divine Artifact: Four Perils

Zhang Peng and his companions left the library, determined to find the three divine artifacts and stop the mysterious organization, and began their intensive preparations. Elder Xuanfeng and Qingfengzi provided them with ample elixirs and magical treasures, repeatedly urging them to proceed with extreme caution.

Following the vague directions conveyed by the Five Elements Spirit Pearls, they first embarked on a journey to find the Thunder Pearl. Legend has it that the Thunder Pearl contains endless thunderous power, was born from the chaotic thunder tribulation at the beginning of the world, and possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth; wherever it is, thunder will inevitably rage.

As they stepped into a vast wilderness, the sky suddenly became overcast with thick, inky clouds. Streaks of lightning flashed through the clouds, occasionally striking the earth and creating charred craters. The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.

"It seems we've found the right place." Zhang Peng looked up at the sky, his expression solemn, clutching the Five Elements Spirit Pearl tightly in his hand, trying to use its power to sense the exact location of the Thunder Pearl.

"Everyone be careful, the power of this lightning should not be underestimated," Li Ming warned, while using his spiritual power to erect a shield above everyone's heads to prevent them from being struck by lightning.

Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck straight towards them. Zhang Peng reacted quickly, immediately mobilizing his five elements of spiritual power and combining it with Li Ming's shield to form an even stronger defense. The lightning struck the shield, producing a deafening roar, and a powerful current spread along the shield, causing everyone's bodies to feel slightly numb.

"This can't go on. We must find the Thunder Pearl as soon as possible and leave this place," Lin Wan'er said anxiously.

Zhang Peng concentrated his mind and activated the Five Elements Spirit Pearl with all his might. Suddenly, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl shone brightly, and a five-colored beam of light shot towards the northwest of the wasteland. "It's over there!" Zhang Peng shouted, leading the way in the direction indicated by the light.

The group weaved through the gaps in the lightning, making their way forward with difficulty. As they drew closer, they discovered a towering mountain ahead, shrouded in a dense layer of lightning, with faint rumbling sounds emanating from it, as if warning them not to approach.

“There must be something inside that mountain,” Su Yao said, pointing to the mountain.

As they approached the mountain peak, an immense pressure washed over them, making it difficult for them to move. Moreover, the lightning around the peak suddenly became violent, with bolts of lightning raining down on them.

"Everyone scatter and take cover!" Zhang Peng shouted. The crowd quickly dispersed, each using their movement techniques to dodge the lightning attacks. However, the lightning strikes were too dense, and they gradually found themselves in a predicament.

Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly noticed that the lightning on the mountain peak seemed to form some kind of array, and the lightning attacks were all carried out according to the rules of the array. He carefully observed the trajectory of the lightning, trying to find a flaw in the array.

With the help of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls, Zhang Peng finally discovered the weakness of the formation. He concentrated his mind and poured the five elements spiritual power into it, and in an instant, the lightning on the mountain peak became slightly disordered.

"Now!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing his full power as he charged towards the mountain peak. Seeing this, Li Ming and the others followed suit.

Taking advantage of a lull in the lightning's chaotic flashes, they finally broke into the mountain peak. Inside was a massive cavern, filled with dense lightning energy. In the center of the cavern, a dazzling bead floated in the air—the very Thunder Bead they had been searching for.

"Found it!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed excitedly.

However, before they could even get close to the Thunder Pearl, a group of thunder beasts suddenly surged out of the cave. These thunder beasts were enormous, their bodies covered in scales that shimmered with lightning, and they spewed bolts of lightning from their mouths, attacking the group.

“These thunder beasts are guarding the Thunder Pearl,” Zhang Peng said. “Everyone be careful not to get hit by their attacks.”

The group quickly assumed fighting stances and engaged in fierce combat with the Thunder Beast. Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the Five Elements and the ancient artifact to counter the Thunder Beast's thunderous power; Li Ming wielded his longsword, searching for the Thunder Beast's weaknesses; Lin Wan'er and Su Yao provided magical support from the rear, offering cover for their companions.

The battle reached its climax. The Thunder Beasts were incredibly powerful and tireless, launching relentless attacks. The group's spiritual energy was gradually depleted in the fierce fighting, and they all suffered burns of varying degrees.

"This won't do; we must find a way to deal with these thunder beasts as soon as possible," Zhang Peng shouted. While fending off the thunder beasts' attacks, he observed his surroundings, trying to find a way to defeat them.

Suddenly, he noticed some mysterious runes on the cave walls, runes that seemed to have some connection to the power of the Thunder Beast. A thought struck him: could these runes be the key to breaking the Thunder Beast's attack?

Zhang Peng concentrated, carefully studying the mysteries of the runes. With the help of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls, he gradually understood the meaning of the runes. It turned out that these runes were an ancient sealing rune; activating them would weaken the power of the Thunder Beast.

"I've found a way to break it!" Zhang Peng shouted. "Everyone, help me hold off the Thunder Beast, I'm going to activate the runes!"
