Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 350 The Mysterious Space: Perilous Encounters and Ancient Legacy

Zhang Peng and the others proceeded steadily along the dimly lit passage, the tense atmosphere like an invisible net enveloping them. Each step was taken cautiously, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, not missing a single corner that might conceal danger. As they ventured deeper, strange murals began to appear on the walls on either side of the passage. The murals depicted various mysterious creatures and ancient rituals, seemingly telling the long and hidden history of this mysterious space.

“The scenes in these murals are so strange. Look at this creature, its body is twisted and surrounded by an eerie light. I have never seen such a peculiar being before.” Murong Yu pointed to a mural, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of doubt.

Liu Ruoli leaned closer to observe carefully, then gently shook her head: "Not only that, these rituals also exude a mysterious aura, seemingly related to some powerful force."

Zhang Peng silently gazed at the murals, a vague premonition rising within him that these murals might hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of this mysterious space. He reached out and touched the wall, attempting to glean more information from these ancient patterns. The instant his fingertips touched the mural, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from the wall, enveloping his body.

"Zhang Peng!" everyone exclaimed, trying to rush forward to help, but found themselves blocked by an invisible force, unable to get close.

Zhang Peng was at the center of the spiritual energy fluctuations, but his consciousness gradually sank into chaos. He seemed to be in a phantom world, surrounded by intertwined light and shadow, and countless blurry images flashed rapidly before his eyes. He saw the fierce battles between ancient cultivators and mysterious forces, the birth and changes of this mysterious space, and a huge conspiracy concerning the life and death of the entire cultivation world.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Peng slowly opened his eyes, a complex light flickering within them. From the mysterious fluctuations of spiritual energy, he had obtained an ancient inherited memory, containing many secrets about the mysterious space, as well as a special technique capable of suppressing the evil forces within it.

"Zhang Peng, how are you?" Murong Yu asked anxiously.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "I'm fine. I just obtained an ancient inherited memory, which contains important information that we need."

Zhang Peng then recounted the contents of his inherited memories to everyone in detail. It turned out that this mysterious space was created by a powerful cultivator in ancient times to seal away an evil force. As time passed, the seal weakened, and the evil force began to stir, which was the root cause of a series of strange events in the cultivation world. Those missing disciples were likely sacrificed by the evil force to enhance their own strength and break the seal.

"I never imagined that such a huge conspiracy was hidden behind this." Liu Ruoli's expression was solemn, her eyes filled with worry.

Pan Liwei clenched his fist: "We absolutely cannot let this evil force succeed. We must rescue those disciples and reinforce the seal again."

The group continued forward, and at the end of the passage appeared a huge cave. A thick, malevolent aura permeated the cave, sending chills down their spines. In the center of the cave stood a massive black altar, its surface shimmering with an eerie light, within which the tormented faces of the missing disciples faintly appeared.

"This is it. Those missing disciples should be near the altar," Zhang Peng said, his voice deep and firm. The longsword in his hand trembled slightly, and the power of the chaotic laws surged within his body.

Just as they were about to approach the altar, countless black shadows suddenly surged out of the cave. These shadows moved swiftly and elusively, instantly surrounding the group. The shadows lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws, each attack carrying a chilling aura and powerful dark energy.

"Be careful, these demonic shadows are not to be underestimated!" Zhang Peng shouted, taking the lead in unleashing his Chaos Law sword technique. Multicolored sword energy crisscrossed, like countless sharp blades, slicing through the approaching demonic shadows. However, the number of demonic shadows was too great, wave after wave, seemingly endless.

Murong Yu unleashed his ultimate move, the "Gentle Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword," his sword energy sweeping through like a storm, attempting to tear apart the encirclement of the demonic shadows. Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, her sonic magic transforming into sharp attacks, weaving through the demonic shadows and disrupting their movements. Pan Liwei and Cao Long, on the other hand, used their dark spiritual power to engage the demonic shadows in close combat, temporarily holding off their attacks by utilizing their familiarity with dark forces.

But the shadowy figures' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the group gradually found themselves in a predicament. Zhang Peng realized that this couldn't continue; they had to find the shadowy figures' weakness to defeat them completely. He concentrated his mind, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the shadowy figures.

Suddenly, he noticed that the power of the demonic figures seemed to resonate with the evil aura in the cave; whenever the evil aura intensified, the power of the demonic figures would also increase. A thought struck Zhang Peng; he remembered a special technique from his inherited memories. Perhaps he could use this technique to purify the evil aura in the cave, thereby weakening the power of the demonic figures.

Zhang Peng immediately activated his special technique, and a pure power surged from his body, spreading outwards. As this power spread, the evil aura in the cave gradually dissipated, and the power of the demonic figures also noticeably weakened.

"Everyone, give it your all! Their strength is weakening!" Zhang Peng shouted. Hearing this, the crowd's morale soared, and they unleashed even stronger attacks.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the demonic shadows finally succumbed and dissipated. With the disappearance of the last demonic shadow, the cave temporarily returned to peace.

Without taking a break, the group rushed toward the black altar. As they approached, they discovered that the altar was covered with various mysterious runes, which emitted a powerful dark energy, attempting to prevent them from getting closer.

Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the Chaos Laws to confront the dark forces on the altar. His body trembled slightly, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he gritted his teeth and refused to back down. Under the impact of the Chaos Laws, the runes on the altar gradually dimmed.

Just then, the altar suddenly trembled violently, and a powerful dark force surged out from it, attacking Zhang Peng and the others. Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly unleashed the ultimate power of the Chaos Law, forming a solid protective barrier.

"Boom!" The dark power crashed into the protective barrier, creating a deafening roar. The barrier shook violently, and cracks appeared everywhere.

"Everyone, let's work together to strengthen the protective barrier!" Zhang Peng shouted. Everyone circulated their spiritual energy, pouring their power into the barrier. With everyone's combined efforts, the protective barrier barely withstood the attack of the dark power.

Zhang Peng knew that this couldn't continue indefinitely; he had to destroy the altar as soon as possible to rescue his missing disciple and stop the evil forces' plot. He concentrated, recalling the contents of his inherited memories, searching for a way to break the altar.

Suddenly, he noticed that the runes on the altar seemed to form a special array. If he could find the key node of the array, he could break the altar. Zhang Peng carefully observed the arrangement of the runes and finally found the key node.

"Listen up, everyone, let's attack this node together!" Zhang Peng said, pointing to a rune on the altar.

Everyone unleashed their strongest spells, attacking the crucial node. Under their combined assault, the runes on the crucial node flickered erratically before finally shattering.

As the key nodes shattered, the runes on the altar lost their power, and the dark energy gradually dissipated. The missing disciples slowly emerged from the light; their bodies were extremely weak, but they were still alive.

"We've finally found you!" Liu Ruoli said excitedly. Everyone rushed forward, helped the missing disciples up, and channeled their spiritual energy to heal their injuries.

However, just when they thought the crisis was over, a sinister laugh suddenly came from deep within the cave...
