Chapter 255 The Truth Behind the Mist: Mysterious Inheritance
The flying beast flapped its wings again, stirring up a gust of wind, and pounced towards Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, and five-colored spiritual energy flowed around his body, forming an indestructible shield that blocked the beast's fierce attack.
A fierce battle erupted between the man and the beast in this tranquil place. Each attack from the flying monster carried immense power, its sharp claws tearing through the air with a piercing sound. Zhang Peng, relying on the exquisite "Phantom Steps" technique, searched for the monster's weaknesses during the gaps in its attacks.
During a lull in the battle, the familiar aura grew stronger. Zhang Peng suddenly had a thought, recalling the murals he'd seen in the ruins. Beside the cultivators fighting the dark forces in the murals, there seemed to be a similar aura. He realized that this demonic beast might be intricately connected to that ancient war.
While dealing with the demonic beast, Zhang Peng activated his "Spiritual Eye" to try and find out its origin. As his perception deepened, he discovered that the demonic beast's soul seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, and this force had similar fluctuations to the mysterious force he had previously fought against in Lingyuan Valley.
"I see. Your methods are truly endless." Zhang Peng snorted coldly, having already made up his mind. He decided to subdue this monster first, and then explore the secrets behind it.
Zhang Peng unleashed his full power, pushing the Chaos Spirit Technique to its limit. He concentrated his spiritual energy, forming a five-colored spiritual energy longsword in his hand, and unleashed the "Chaos Sky-Splitting Sword," slashing towards the flying demon beasts. This sword strike contained immense power, its light dazzling, making even the flying demon beasts feel a deadly threat.
The demonic beast let out a shrill cry, trying to dodge the fierce attack. But Zhang Peng's attack was relentless, and his spiritual energy sword struck the demonic beast's wing with pinpoint accuracy. With a "thud," a deep wound was torn in the beast's wing, blood splattered, and its body lost its balance, plummeting towards the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng rushed forward, channeling his spiritual power to imprison the flying beast. He began to delve deeper into the secrets of the beast's soul, and under the traces of mysterious power, he discovered a sealed memory.
As his memories were unlocked, an ancient story surfaced in his mind. It turned out that this misty forest was once the territory of a powerful cultivation sect. This sect possessed a mysterious inherited power that could manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, protecting the peace of the cultivation world.
However, a mysterious force coveted this inherited power and launched a brutal war. The powerful members of the sect fought back valiantly, but ultimately could not withstand the machinations of the mysterious force. The sect was destroyed, and the inherited power was sealed away, leaving only scattered clues and manipulated guardian beasts, like the avian monster before them.
Zhang Peng was deeply shocked. He realized that he might have found the key to uncovering the true purpose of the mysterious force. If he could find and unseal this mysterious inheritance, he could not only enhance his strength but also potentially defeat the mysterious force completely.
He continued to delve deeper into the memories of the demonic beasts and finally found a clue about the sealed place of the mysterious inheritance. It was a mysterious valley hidden deep in the misty forest, protected by a powerful restriction, and only those with specific bloodlines and spiritual energy fluctuations could enter.
Zhang Peng released the beast from its restraints. The beast seemed to regain some of its self-awareness; it glanced at Zhang Peng, then spread its wings and flew away. Gazing in the direction the beast had gone, Zhang Peng secretly resolved to find that mysterious valley and unlock the secret inheritance.
He packed his bags and, following the clues in his memory, ventured deeper into the Misty Forest. Along the way, he encountered various hardships and dangers, including treacherous terrain and powerful demonic beasts. But Zhang Peng, with his unwavering faith and formidable strength, overcame these difficulties one by one.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding fog thickened, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy became increasingly chaotic. Zhang Peng activated his "Spiritual Eye," carefully discerning his direction. Finally, at the edge of the fog, he saw a valley shrouded in multicolored light, exactly as the scene in the demon beast's memory had depicted.
