Chapter 499 Exploring the Ruins and the Crisis of the Chaos Spirit Orb
The gate to the ruins slowly opened, releasing an ancient and powerful aura of chaos, as if a long-dormant beast had been awakened. Zhang Peng and the others instinctively took a step back, warily watching the activity within the gate. Only after their breathing had calmed down slightly did they cautiously step into the ruins.
The moment they stepped into the ruins, the sight before them left them in awe. Enormous stone pillars stood tall, inscribed with strange runes and ancient patterns, radiating a mysterious, chaotic light. The ground was paved with massive stone slabs, also engraved with intricate patterns that intertwined to form a vast magic circle. At the center of this circle stood a stone platform, upon which rested a bead emitting a soft glow—the Chaos Spirit Orb.
"That's it, the Chaos Spirit Orb!" Murong Yu exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Zhang Peng remained vigilant, carefully observing his surroundings, sensing a lurking danger. "Everyone be careful. There seems to be some secret hidden in these ruins. We can't let our guard down."
Just as they approached the stone platform, the surrounding runes suddenly lit up, and a powerful chaotic force enveloped them. Immediately afterward, a deep roar echoed from the ruins, and a colossal chaotic guardian beast slowly emerged from the darkness. This guardian beast was even larger than the chaotic beasts they had encountered before, its entire body covered in thick scales, each scale shimmering with chaotic light. Its eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, filled with aggression.
"It seems that to obtain the Chaos Spirit Orb, we must first defeat this guardian beast," Zhang Peng said solemnly. He first activated the "Star Shield," protecting everyone within it, and at the same time unleashed the "Star Shattering Fist," blasting towards the Chaos Guardian Beast. The fist whistled, carrying the immense power of stars, as if countless stars appeared in the air, crashing towards the Chaos Guardian Beast.
The Chaos Guardian Beast roared and swung its massive claws to meet Zhang Peng's attack. The claws collided with the power of the stars, producing a deafening roar. The power of the stars was instantly deflected, and Zhang Peng was also forced back several steps by the powerful force.
Seeing this, Murong Yu immediately unleashed the ultimate technique of the "Chaos Breeze Sword," "Breeze Demon-Slaying Spin," sending a sharp sword aura towards the Chaos Guardian Beast. The sword aura sparked as it grazed the scales of the Chaos Guardian Beast, but failed to cause it any real damage.
Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades, shooting towards the eyes of the Chaos Guardian Beast. Sensing the threat, the Chaos Guardian Beast abruptly closed its eyes, and the sonic blades struck its eyelids but were bounced back.
Su Yi unleashed a forbidden dark technique, enveloping the Chaos Guardian Beast in black light in an attempt to weaken its power. However, the Chaos Guardian Beast's power was too great, and the forbidden dark technique had little effect.
During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that although the Chaos Guardian Beast possessed immense power, its attack methods were relatively simple, relying primarily on its overwhelming strength for direct assaults. Moreover, its movements seemed to be restricted by some force within the ruins, preventing it from moving freely.
"Listen up, everyone! This Chaos Guardian's movements are restricted. Let's exploit its weakness and attack from the side!" Zhang Peng shouted.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately changed their attack strategy. Murong Yu circled around to the left side of the Chaos Guardian Beast and unleashed the killing move of the "Chaos Breeze Sword," "Breath-Splitting Slash," a sharp sword aura piercing towards the side of the Chaos Guardian Beast. Liu Ruoli, on the other hand, moved to the right side of the Chaos Guardian Beast and played "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the right side of the Chaos Guardian Beast.
Zhang Peng unleashed "Stellar Spacetime Reversal," manipulating the power of the stars to reverse the Chaos Guardian's power and deflect its attack. Simultaneously, he unleashed an enhanced version of "Stellar Shattering Fist," his fist, imbued with the power of the stars, slamming into the Chaos Guardian's side.
Under the combined attack of the three, the Chaos Guardian Beast sustained numerous wounds, and its power gradually weakened. However, the Chaos Guardian Beast was not easily defeated. It let out a roar, and the chaotic power around it surged instantly. It broke free from Zhang Peng's stellar power restraints and pounced towards the three.
Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately unleashed the strongest form of his "Star Shield," tightly protecting the three of them. The Chaos Guardian Beast's attack slammed heavily into the Star Shield, causing it to flicker violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
At this critical moment, Zhang Peng suddenly discovered that the magic array in the ruins seemed to have some connection with the Chaos Guardian Beast. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Starry Sky to sense the power fluctuations of the magic array. He discovered that as long as the core of the magic array was destroyed, the power of the Chaos Guardian Beast could be weakened.
"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, let's hold off the Chaos Guardian Beast's attack for now. I'll go destroy the core of the magic array!" Zhang Peng shouted.
Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli nodded in understanding, and they unleashed their strongest defensive spells to resist the Chaos Guardian Beast's attacks. Zhang Peng, meanwhile, focused his mind, using the power of the stars to charge towards the core of the magic array…
