Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 261 Breaking Through the Trap on the Eve of the Decisive Battle

As the black stone embedded itself into the groove, the entire altar trembled violently, and dark power surged wildly like a raging tide. The runes shone brightly, weaving together into a massive net of light that enveloped Zhang Peng. He immediately felt a powerful binding force surging from all directions, attempting to trap him completely.

Zhang Peng circulated the Chaos Spirit Technique and the power of chaos, causing the five-colored light and chaotic energy to intertwine and form an indestructible shield around him, resisting the binding force. He gritted his teeth and struggled fiercely, each exertion causing ripples to spread across the surrounding light net.

"Hmph, trying to trap me? Not so easy!" Zhang Peng roared, unleashing the "Chaotic Sky-Shattering Fist," his fist, imbued with chaotic power, slamming heavily into the light net. With a deafening boom, a crack appeared in the light net, and its binding force weakened. Taking advantage of the momentum, Zhang Peng unleashed several more punches, until the light net finally succumbed to the pressure and shattered.

However, before he could even catch his breath, countless black tentacles suddenly appeared around him, emerging from the ground and stone walls, and frantically coiling towards him. These tentacles were incredibly tough and corrosive; wherever they touched, the air hissed and crackled.

Zhang Peng flashed forward, using the "Phantom Step" to nimbly weave through the tentacles. He concentrated his spiritual energy in his right hand, forming a five-colored spiritual energy longsword, and fiercely slashed at the tentacles. Each swing severed several tentacles, but there were too many; as soon as one batch was cut, a new batch surged forward.

"This can't go on!" Zhang Peng thought to himself. While dodging the tentacles' attacks, he activated his "Spiritual Eye" to find their weaknesses. Through his "Spiritual Eye," he discovered that the roots of the tentacles were connected to a dark spirit array hidden underground. Destroying this spirit array would completely eliminate the tentacles.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and channeled the power of chaos into his spiritual sword. The sword shone brightly, enveloped in chaotic energy, radiating a powerful aura. He unleashed the "Chaos Annihilation Slash," a five-colored beam of light containing world-destroying power shooting towards the dark spiritual array beneath the ground.

The light struck the spirit array, triggering a violent explosion. The earth shook violently, the dark spirit array was instantly destroyed, and the black tentacles vanished. Zhang Peng breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had successfully broken through the first trap set by the mysterious force.

But he knew this was just the beginning. He continued his journey through the abyss, each step filled with caution. Along the way, he encountered various traps and attacks from dark creatures: poisonous fog traps hidden in the darkness, from which one could easily be corroded; and nimble dark bats that attacked in swarms, trying to disrupt his movements.

But Zhang Peng, with his formidable strength and unwavering will, resolved these crises one by one. During a battle with a swarm of dark bats, he discovered a new breakthrough in his control over the power of chaos. He was able to more freely integrate the power of chaos into his spells, significantly enhancing their power.

After a difficult trek, Zhang Peng finally arrived at the core area of ​​the mysterious force. The area was heavily guarded, with dozens of black-robed figures patrolling the perimeter, and a thick, dark aura permeating the air. Zhang Peng hid in the shadows, observing the enemy's movements. He discovered that the mysterious force was making final preparations, continuously moving various rare spiritual objects and magical treasures around the altar in preparation for the ritual on the night of the full moon.

"We must stop them as soon as possible!" Zhang Peng made up his mind. He knew that the night of the full moon was approaching, and he didn't have much time left. He began to formulate a battle plan, preparing to launch a surprise attack and destroy the mysterious forces' plan before they could activate the altar.

Zhang Peng carefully observed the enemy's patrol routes and defensive weaknesses, searching for the best opportunity to attack. He knew this would be a difficult battle; the mysterious force's strength was not to be underestimated, but he was fearless. He thought of his family and the safety of the entire cultivation world, and these thoughts became his driving force.

Finally, Zhang Peng found an opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed men changed shifts, he flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the core area of ​​the mysterious force. He unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, its multicolored light shimmering in the darkness, instantly attracting the attention of the black-robed men.
