Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 257 Initial Comprehension of the Spiritual Scripture, Crisis Approaches Again

Zhang Peng's hands trembled slightly as he slowly opened the "Chao Qi Ling Dian" (Chao Qi Spirit Codex). The ancient pages emanated faint spiritual energy fluctuations, and each character seemed to come alive, leaping and flashing before his eyes. The opening chapter explained the power of chaos, a primordial force that transcended the five elements of heaven and earth; mastering it allowed one to break free from the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth.

Zhang Peng immersed himself in the world of the Spiritual Codex, eagerly absorbing its knowledge. Following the records in the Codex, he circulated his spiritual power, attempting to sense the existence of chaotic power. As he worked, the surrounding spiritual power began to stir, and vortexes of spiritual power continuously emerged in the once calm valley, as if responding to his call.

Just as he was beginning to grasp the mysteries of the spiritual scripture, a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the valley. Zhang Peng snapped back to reality and looked warily toward the valley entrance. He saw a black light streak across the sky like lightning, hurtling toward the valley.

"Oh no, it's a mysterious force!" Zhang Peng thought to himself, realizing the danger. He quickly put the "Chaos Spirit Scripture" and the jade box into his pocket, activated the Chaos Spirit Technique, and prepared for battle.

In the blink of an eye, the black light arrived above the valley. As the light dissipated, a group of black-robed figures were revealed. The leader, his gaze icy, stared at Zhang Peng and said coldly, "Boy, I didn't expect you to find this place. Hand over what you obtained, and I'll spare your life!"

Zhang Peng sneered, "You want something? You're not qualified!" With that, he unleashed the "Chaos Sky-Shattering Fist," blasting it towards the black-robed man. Multicolored light, carrying immense power, hurtled towards him like a cannonball.

Seeing this, the man in black robes calmly waved his hand, and a black light barrier instantly rose up, blocking Zhang Peng's attack. "Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The man in black robes sneered, his hands quickly forming hand seals while he chanted incantations.

As the black-robed man moved, countless black blades suddenly appeared in the sky, raining down on Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng used his "Phantom Steps" to weave and dodge among the blades. He knew that these black-robed men were not to be underestimated, and a direct confrontation would likely be difficult to win.

While dodging attacks, Zhang Peng searched for the black-robed man's weaknesses. He activated his "Spiritual Eye" to try and discern his opponent's vulnerabilities. Under the perception of his "Spiritual Eye," he discovered that although the black-robed man's spiritual energy fluctuations were powerful, there were some subtle inconsistencies.

A thought struck Zhang Peng. He gathered his spiritual energy, forming a five-colored spiritual energy longsword in his hand. He unleashed the "Chaos Sky-Splitting Sword," thrusting it towards the point where the black-robed man's spiritual energy fluctuations were inconsistent. Sensing the danger, the black-robed man hurriedly strengthened his defenses. But Zhang Peng's attack was relentless, and the spiritual energy longsword instantly pierced through the black light barrier.

"Pfft!" The man in black robes groaned, staggering back a few steps, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, the other men in black robes swarmed around Zhang Peng, surrounding him completely.

"Attack him together! Kill him!" the black-robed man roared. The black-robed men unleashed their respective spells—black flames, poisonous mist, and ice spikes—rushing madly towards Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng was locked in a fierce battle, constantly unleashing various techniques of the Chaos Spiritual Art to defend against the attacks of the black-robed men. However, there were simply too many black-robed men, and his spiritual energy was being depleted more and more rapidly, with wounds gradually appearing on his body.

Just as Zhang Peng was feeling somewhat powerless, he suddenly remembered the "Chao Qi Ling Dian" (Chao Qi Spirit Scripture) in his possession. A thought struck him, and he decided to take the risk. He circulated his spiritual energy, attempting to draw upon the power of the scripture.

As he moved, the Chaos Codex emitted a dazzling light, within which chaotic power surged into his body like a raging tide. Zhang Peng felt a powerful force coursing through his body, and his strength instantly increased dramatically.

"Since that's the case, then let me show you the true power of Chaos!" Zhang Peng roared, unleashing the ultimate move of the Chaos Spiritual Technique. His body was enveloped in chaotic power, forming a massive sphere of chaotic spiritual energy. He pushed the sphere towards the black-robed man, and wherever the chaotic power reached, everything was devoured.
