Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 427 Escape from the Abyss and the Prelude to the Final Battle

Zhang Peng used his "Cage of Laws" to protect everyone as they struggled to break free of the violently shaking cave. Boulders rained down from the cave ceiling, striking the cage with dull thuds. Each impact caused the cage's light to flicker, as if it might shatter at any moment. Murong Yu gripped his longsword tightly, the blade trembling slightly with tension, his eyes fixed on the falling rocks, ready to face any potential danger. Liu Ruoli clung closely to Zhang Peng, her jade flute clutched tightly in her hand. Despite the perilous situation, her gaze remained resolute, ready to unleash sonic waves to aid in their defense.

"Zhang Peng, this cave is collapsing too fast, we need to speed things up!" Murong Yu shouted, his voice sounding weak amidst the roar.

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead. He pushed the cage forward with all his might, the power of the chaotic laws surging wildly within him. "Everyone, hold on! We'll definitely get out of here!" His voice, filled with unwavering determination, gave everyone a much-needed boost of confidence.

Just as they were about to rush out of the cave, a huge rock fell from the cave ceiling, crashing straight into the cage. The rock was as big as a house and carried immense force; if it hit, the cage would surely be unable to withstand it.

"Oh no!" Liu Ruoli exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Peng's eyes narrowed, and he abruptly increased his spiritual power output, unleashing the power of the Chaos Laws like a surging tide towards the cage. At the same time, he unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Forms Break," attempting to shatter the boulder. The blades formed from the Chaos Laws slashed at the boulder, but it was too hard, only managing to crack a few times before crashing down with tremendous force.

At this critical moment, Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate defensive move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," the "Breeze Guardian Wall." A transparent wall composed of sword energy instantly appeared above the cage, colliding with the boulder. With a deafening roar, the sword energy wall trembled violently, Murong Yu coughed up blood, and his body swayed precariously, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Murong Yu!" Zhang Peng and Liu Ruoli shouted at the same time.

"Don't worry about me, let's go!" Murong Yu roared.

Without further hesitation, Zhang Peng seized the opportunity, pushed the cage with all his might, and led everyone out from beside the boulder. As soon as they left the cave, a deafening roar came from behind, and the entire cave collapsed, kicking up clouds of dust.

The three of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, overwhelmed with the joy of surviving a close call. "We...we escaped successfully," Liu Ruoli said wearily, a relieved smile on her face.

Zhang Peng slowly stood up, looking at the collapsed cave, his heart filled with emotion. "We were able to escape this time thanks to everyone's efforts." He turned to Murong Yu and asked with concern, "Murong Yu, how are you?"

Murong Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just need to rest for a bit."

Zhang Peng took out a healing pill from his storage ring and handed it to Murong Yu: "Take this quickly, this pill can help you recover from your injuries."

Murong Yu took the pill, swallowed it, and began to heal his injuries with his eyes closed. Zhang Peng and Liu Ruoli stood guard by his side, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

After a period of rest, Murong Yu's injuries had improved. He stood up and stretched his body: "Much better, let's hurry back to Lingxiao Pavilion."

Zhang Peng nodded: "Okay, the third key has been found. We must get back as soon as possible to discuss the plan to seal the Shadow Demon God."

So the three of them embarked on their journey home. Along the way, they proceeded with extreme caution, constantly on guard against attacks from the mysterious organization. However, unexpectedly, the journey was very smooth; they encountered no obstacles and returned safely to Lingxiao Pavilion.

Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi were already waiting at the entrance of Lingxiao Pavilion. Upon seeing their return, they immediately went to greet them. "Zhang Peng, you're finally back! Did you find the third key?" Xuan Chenzi asked anxiously.

Zhang Peng smiled slightly and took out three keys from his storage ring: "Found them, all three keys are here."

Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi looked at the three keys, their eyes filled with tears of excitement: "Great! We've finally found them! With these three keys, we have hope of sealing the Shadow Demon God."

The group arrived at the council hall of Lingxiao Pavilion to discuss their plan to seal the Shadow Demon God. Zhang Peng recounted in detail his experiences in the Spirit Illusion Abyss, including the dangers they encountered, the mysterious forbidden power, and the process of finally finding the key.

“Although we have found these three keys, sealing the Shadow Demon God will not be an easy task.” Chisongzi said solemnly, “The Shadow Demon God has been sealed for thousands of years, and his power must be extremely strong. We must be fully prepared.”

Xuan Chenzi nodded slightly: "That's right. We need to gather the elites from all the major sects in the cultivation world to discuss the sealing plan together. At the same time, we also need to strengthen the defense of Lingxiao Pavilion to prevent the minions of the Shadow Demon God from causing trouble during the sealing process."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Peng said, "I think we still need to find a suitable sealing location. This location must be sturdy enough to withstand the powerful energy fluctuations during the sealing process."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After some discussion, they decided to issue an emergency summons to all the major sects in the cultivation world, inviting their leaders and elders to Lingxiao Pavilion to discuss important matters.

Over the next few days, elites from various sects arrived at Lingxiao Pavilion one after another. The pavilion was bustling with activity, the atmosphere tense yet lively. They sat together, discussing their plan to seal the Shadow Demon God.

After repeated discussions and research, they finally devised a detailed sealing plan. The plan was to seal the demon in a place called "Chaos Valley," an ancient battlefield with treacherous terrain and surrounded by powerful restrictions, making it an ideal location to seal the Shadow Demon God.

Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and elites from various sects will form the sealing team, responsible for inserting the three keys into the sealing array's core in Chaos Valley to activate the sealing ritual. Elders such as Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi will be responsible for setting up defensive arrays around the area to prevent interference from the mysterious organization.

With everything prepared, Zhang Peng and his companions were about to embark on their journey to seal the Shadow Demon God. They knew this would be the final battle, determining the fate of the cultivation world; victory or defeat hinged on this single act…
