Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 574 The Call of the Mysterious Ruins and the Unknown Challenge

Having bid farewell to the peaceful town, Zhang Peng and his companions continued their journey, guided by a mysterious force. They traversed mountains and rivers, crossed deserts and wastelands, and along the way, the light of the mysterious force illuminated their path like a beacon. As time passed, the force pulling them along grew stronger, as if urging them to quicken their pace.

Finally, deep within an ancient and mysterious mountain range, they discovered a ruin hidden in the clouds. This ruin exuded an ancient and weathered aura; its massive stone gate was covered with strange symbols and patterns, seemingly telling a story sealed away by time. The stone gate was tightly closed, and a mysterious energy emanated from it, unlike any energy they had encountered before.

"Is this the place the mysterious force led us to?" Murong Yu looked up at the stone gate, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. The Chaos Breeze Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if it too could sense the secrets hidden in the ruins.

Using the power of the stars and mysterious forces, Zhang Peng carefully sensed the runes on the stone door and the surrounding energy fluctuations. He discovered that these runes contained an ancient and powerful sealing force, and behind the stone door seemed to lie a secret closely related to the forces of darkness. "That's right, there must be important clues hidden here," Zhang Peng said solemnly. "But the sealing force on this stone door is very strong; we need to be careful."

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, playing a soft melody. The sound waves echoed around the stone gate, attempting to explore the secrets of the seal. "The arrangement of these runes is very peculiar, seemingly following a specific pattern." She frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with thoughtful light.

Concealed in the darkness, Su Yi used his forbidden dark arts perception to quietly explore the stone door's weaknesses. "I sense a weak point on the right side of the stone door, but to open it, I need to find the key to breaking the seal," his voice came from the darkness, deep and mysterious.

Lan Bing waved her staff, and ice magic formed a layer of crystalline ice around the stone gate, attempting to stabilize the surrounding energy fluctuations through the low temperature and create conditions for everyone's exploration. "Everyone be careful, the energy in these ruins is very unstable, and the slightest carelessness could lead to danger." Her eyes revealed vigilance and worry.

Just as everyone was pondering how to break the seal, the runes on the stone gate suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force surged out from the stone gate, enveloping everyone. Zhang Peng and the others only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and then they were teleported into the interior of the ruins.

The ruins were vast, their interior spaces adorned with shimmering gems that illuminated the entire area. In the center stood a massive stone platform, upon which rested an ancient book radiating a mysterious light. The book's cover was covered in strange symbols, bearing a resemblance to the runes on the stone gate.

Zhang Peng and the others cautiously approached the stone platform. When they were just a few steps away from the ancient book, a low roar suddenly echoed from the ruins. Immediately afterward, a group of enormous guardian beasts surged out from all directions, their bodies engulfed in flames and radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

"Be careful, these guardian beasts are tough to deal with!" Zhang Peng shouted, his star power instantly condensing around him, forming a sturdy shield. Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate technique of the "Chaos Breeze Sword," "Breeze Demon-Slaying Spin," sending several sword energies towards the guardian beasts. The sword energies streaked through the air, leaving white trails, but the guardian beasts' fiery shields were extremely strong, and the sword energies only forced them to retreat a few steps.

Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves transformed into sharp blades, piercing the guardian beast's vitals. The sound waves vibrated in the air, creating a powerful impact, but the guardian beast seemed to have some resistance to the sound waves. It only let out a few angry roars before continuing to pounce on the group.

Su Yi unleashed a forbidden dark technique, and black light surged like a tidal wave, enveloping the guardian beast. However, the flames on the guardian beast's body had a powerful restraining effect on the forbidden dark technique, and the dark light was dispelled the moment it came into contact with the flames.

Lan Bing brandished her staff, unleashing the most powerful ice magic move, "Ice and Snow," instantly covering the entire ruins in ice and snow, causing the temperature to plummet. The guardian beasts' movements were somewhat hindered in this extreme cold, but they quickly adapted to the cold, their flames melting the ice as they continued their attack on the group.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that the guardian beast's power seemed to be connected to the ancient text on the stone platform. He focused his mind and used the power of the stars and mysterious forces to try to sever the connection between them.

"Listen up, everyone! The power of these guardian beasts comes from the ancient books on the stone platform. We need to find a way to interfere with the power of the ancient books!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately changed their attack strategy. Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breath-Splitting Slash," with several sword energies cutting through the power fluctuations around the ancient book like sharp blades. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Interference," causing sound waves to reverberate around the ancient book, disrupting its connection with the guardian beast.

Zhang Peng unleashed "Stellar Space-Time Reversal," manipulating the power of the stars to reverse the guardian beast's power and reflect it back. Simultaneously, he unleashed an enhanced version of "Stellar Shattering Fist," his fist, imbued with the power of the stars, slamming fiercely into the ancient book.

Under the combined attack of the three, the power fluctuations around the ancient book began to become unstable, and the power of the guardian beasts was gradually weakened. Their movements became sluggish, and the power of their attacks was greatly reduced.

However, just as the guardian beast's power was about to be completely weakened, the ancient book suddenly shone brightly, and a mysterious beam of light shot out from it, striking the guardian beast. Illuminated by the mysterious light, the guardian beast's power instantly returned, and it became even stronger…
