Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 508 Forbidden Artifact Crisis and Mysterious Aid

The black light, upon landing in the black-robed man's hand, instantly unleashed a blinding, malevolent glow. A thick, putrid stench spread with the light, causing plants and trees to wither rapidly, and black cracks to appear in the ground, as if corrupted by some evil force. The black-robed man gripped the item, known as the Dark Artifact, tightly in his hands, chanting incantations. The runes on the Dark Artifact flickered and danced, growing ever brighter.

Zhang Peng inwardly cried out in alarm. He knew the power of the forbidden artifact; once activated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Without hesitation, he unleashed "Stellar Space-Time Reversal," attempting to disrupt the black-robed man's spell before the artifact could be activated. The power of the stars formed a five-colored vortex, sweeping towards the black-robed man. The surrounding space distorted under the influence of this power, and the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Seeing this, Murong Yu unleashed the strongest move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," the "Chaotic Breeze Annihilation Technique." A sword aura containing boundless chaotic power, like a divine sword that split the heavens and earth, slashed towards the black-robed man with an aura of world destruction. Wherever the sword aura passed, space was torn open with a long rift, and black mist surged out from the crack, intertwining with the power of stars and colliding to create dazzling light.

Not to be outdone, Liu Ruoli placed her jade flute to her lips and played the ultimate form of "Sonic Chaos Storm." The flute's melody was high-pitched and stirring, and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades that shot towards the black-robed man at incredible speed. These blades weaved through the air, emitting sharp whistling sounds, and wherever they touched, the black-robed man's defensive spells shattered.

Su Yi then unleashed a mutated form of the forbidden dark technique, black light interspersed with eerie runes, enveloping the black-robed man from all directions. He knew the terrifying power of forbidden dark artifacts, and thus wanted to use his dark magic to disrupt the black-robed man's mind, preventing him from successfully activating the artifact.

However, the black-robed man's strength was beyond imagination. Facing the attacks of the crowd, he not only did not retreat in the slightest, but instead laughed loudly. "You think you can stop me like this? How naive!" His voice echoed across the battlefield, filled with madness and confidence.

As the black-robed man finished speaking, the light on the dark artifact reached its peak. A black beam of light shot out from the artifact, sweeping towards Zhang Peng and the others. The beam of light contained boundless dark power, seemingly intent on devouring everything.

Zhang Peng and the others' expressions changed drastically. They quickly gathered their power together, forming a powerful defensive barrier. The power of stars, chaos, sound waves, and darkness intertwined, forming a multicolored shield. The black beam of light struck the shield, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire battlefield.

The shield trembled violently under the impact of the black beam of light, its glow flickering erratically, threatening to shatter at any moment. Zhang Peng and the others gritted their teeth, doing their utmost to maintain the shield's stability. They could feel the power of the forbidden artifact relentlessly eroding their defenses, enduring immense pressure every second.

Just as the shield was about to shatter, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky. Within the light, an elderly man in a golden robe slowly descended. The old man's face was kind, but his eyes revealed a sense of majesty. In his hand he held a golden staff, the top of which was inlaid with a large gem, radiating a soft yet powerful light.

"Hmph, a forbidden dark artifact, yet you dare to be so insolent before me!" The old man sneered, waving his staff. A golden light shot out from the staff, colliding with the black pillar of light. The golden light, like a surging tide, quickly engulfed the black pillar of light. The black-robed man let out a scream, and the forbidden dark artifact in his hand shattered, turning into countless black fragments scattered all over the ground.

Zhang Peng and the others looked at the old man in surprise, their hearts filled with doubt and gratitude. "Thank you for your help, senior. May I ask who you are?" Zhang Peng asked respectfully.

The old man nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I am one of the guardians of the Heavenly Realm. I came to help when I learned that the cultivation world was in trouble."

Murong Yu asked curiously, "Guardians of the Heavenly Realm? Senior, just how many powerful beings like you are there in the Heavenly Realm?"

The old man gazed into the distance and slowly said, "The Heavenly Domain is filled with powerful figures, and I am just one of them. However, the actions of the dark forces this time have already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Domain. They are attempting to disrupt the balance of heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Domain will not stand idly by."

Liu Ruoli said worriedly, "But the forces of darkness are so cunning, how can we defeat them completely?"

The old man looked at Zhang Peng, a hint of expectation in his eyes: "The power of the Starry Sky, plus the three divine artifacts, is your greatest reliance in fighting against the forces of darkness. But to truly defeat them, you still need to find the source of the forces of darkness and destroy it completely."

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and said firmly, "Senior, rest assured, we will definitely find the source of the dark forces, completely eliminate them, and safeguard the peace of the cultivation world!"

The old man nodded slightly: "Alright, I trust you. I will keep an eye on your actions in secret, and I will lend a hand again if needed." After saying that, the old man transformed into a golden ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Zhang Peng and the others gazed in the direction where the old man had disappeared, their hearts filled with strength. They knew that although the road ahead was fraught with difficulties, as long as they united, they would surely defeat the forces of darkness and protect the cultivation world…
