Chapter 477 The Journey to the Mysterious Mountain and the Crisis Along the Way

After defeating the black-robed man, Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli immediately embarked on their journey to the mysterious mountain. Following the vague descriptions in the ancient texts, they traversed a vast wasteland where howling winds raged, sand and stones flew, and the world was shrouded in a hazy yellow light. Zhang Peng activated the chaotic law power of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, forming an invisible barrier before him to resist the sandstorm and simultaneously clear a path for his companions.

"The environment of this wasteland is even harsher than I imagined." Murong Yu squinted as he struggled forward, the Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand trembling slightly, its blade covered in sand and dust.

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, holding it tightly to her chest to protect it from the wind and sand. Her hair was disheveled by the gale, but her face showed determination: "No matter how difficult it is, we must reach the mysterious peak as soon as possible."

The three trudged through the wasteland with great difficulty when suddenly, a massive chasm appeared ahead. The chasm was bottomless, filled with a black mist, from which faint, eerie roars could be heard.

"This rift is very strange, everyone be careful." Zhang Peng stopped and said with a solemn expression. He used his spiritual sense, which was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, to try to detect the depth of the rift and the situation at the bottom. However, as soon as his spiritual sense touched the black mist, it was bounced back by a powerful force. His face turned pale instantly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

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

Zhang Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "There are powerful restrictions and unknown dangers hidden in this fog. We can't go down rashly."

The three searched along the edge of the rift for a way across, but after a long time, they found no bridge or passage. Just as they were about to despair, Liu Ruoli suddenly discovered an ancient stone bridge on one side of the rift. The bridge's railings were incomplete, and the bridge itself was covered in moss, looking like it was about to collapse.

“Look, there’s a stone bridge over there,” Liu Ruoli said, pointing to the stone bridge.

Zhang Peng and Murong Yu looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw the stone bridge. "This stone bridge looks very unstable; we must be careful," Zhang Peng said.

The three cautiously stepped onto the stone bridge, but after only a few steps, the bridge began to shake violently. Suddenly, a stone slab broke, and Liu Ruoli slipped, nearly falling into the chasm. Zhang Peng reacted quickly, using his "Chaotic Law Cage" to trap Liu Ruoli inside, while simultaneously reaching out and grabbing her arm.

"Watch out!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Murong Yu quickly unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," channeling sword energy into the stone bridge in an attempt to stabilize its structure. With the combined efforts of the three, the stone bridge temporarily stopped shaking.

They continued onward, and when they reached the middle of the stone bridge, black mist suddenly surged out from the rift, enveloping them. From within the mist, countless black tentacles reached out towards them, their surfaces covered in sharp spikes and emitting a nauseating stench.

"Where did these tentacles come from?" Murong Yu exclaimed in horror.

Zhang Peng unleashed a "Chaotic Law Shield," protecting the three within it. Simultaneously, he used "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," converging the power of the Chaotic Law into a gigantic Chaotic Sword, which slashed towards the tentacle. The tentacle was severed by the Chaotic Sword, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades that shot towards the tentacles. With the combined attack of the three, the tentacles' offensive was temporarily suppressed.

However, before they could even catch their breath, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared from the mist. This figure was serpentine in shape, but had three heads, each with a gaping maw, lunging at them.

"This is a three-headed shadow serpent, its strength is at the late stage of the Fusion Realm!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He did not expect to encounter such a powerful monster in this rift valley.

The three-headed shadow serpent roared, its three heads simultaneously spewing black flames as it attacked the three. Zhang Peng unleashed the "Chaotic Law Cage," trapping the three within and protecting them from the black flames. Murong Yu used the ultimate technique of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind," creating a vortex of sword energy centered on himself, which surged towards the three-headed shadow serpent. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a massive vortex that enveloped the three-headed shadow serpent.

Under the combined attack of the three, the three-headed shadow serpent gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught. Its body was covered in wounds, and its strength waned. Finally, the three-headed shadow serpent let out a desperate roar, crashed to the ground, and vanished in a puff of black smoke.

As the three-headed shadow serpent vanished, the black mist gradually dissipated. The three continued on their way and finally crossed the stone bridge safely. Standing on the other side of the rift, they gazed at the road ahead, their hearts filled with hope. They knew that as long as they crossed the forest ahead, they would reach the mysterious peak.

The three continued their journey and soon reached the edge of the forest. An eerie atmosphere permeated the forest; the trees were strangely twisted and contorted, as if warped by some evil force. Zhang Peng activated the chaotic law power of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, sensing the forest's atmosphere. He discovered that many powerful demonic beasts and unknown dangers lurked within.

“This forest is full of dangers, we must proceed with caution,” Zhang Peng said.

The three cautiously entered the forest, and as soon as they did, they heard a low roar. The sound echoed through the forest, sending chills down their spines. Zhang Peng and the others immediately became alert, gripping their magical artifacts tightly, preparing to face the impending challenge…
