Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 408 Forbidden Technique Breakthrough and the Prelude to the Final Battle

Inside the secret chamber of Lingxiao Pavilion, the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Zhang Peng and the elites from various sects gathered around a makeshift altar. On the altar were placed the Ice Soul Crystal from the Thousand-Year Cold Pool, the Blood of the Dead from the Ancient Battlefield, and the Chaos Spirit Herb from a Mysterious Land. The three materials emitted different kinds of light, intertwining and reflecting on the solemn faces of the group.

"Listen up, everyone. Next, we will attempt to fuse these materials with the power of the Chaos Laws and the mysterious bead. There can be no room for error in the process." Zhang Peng's voice was deep and firm as his gaze swept over everyone present. The crowd nodded, their eyes revealing focus and determination.

Zhang Peng first channeled the power of the Chaos Law, slowly infusing it into the mysterious bead. The bead shone brightly, its multicolored radiance illuminating the entire secret chamber. Then, he carefully picked up the Ice Soul Crystal and, enveloped in the Chaos Law, brought it close to the mysterious bead. The instant the Ice Soul Crystal touched the bead, a powerful chill swept over him, colliding with the bead's warm spiritual energy and producing a hissing sound.

"Stay calm, don't panic," Zhang Peng said softly, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He concentrated, using the laws of chaos to reconcile the conflict between the two forces. With his efforts, the chilling aura of the Ice Soul Crystal was gradually assimilated by the spiritual power of the bead, and the two began to slowly merge.

Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli assisted from the side. Murong Yu used the spiritual power of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword" to provide stable energy support for the fusion process; Liu Ruoli played the jade flute to soothe the power fluctuations generated during the fusion with sound waves, making it more stable.

Next, it was time to integrate the blood of the dead from the ancient battlefield. Zhang Peng opened the jade bottle containing the blood of the dead. The black blood, imbued with intense resentment, swirled at the bottle's opening, seemingly resisting fusion. Zhang Peng took a deep breath, increased the output of the Chaos Law, and slowly introduced the blood of the dead into the fusion. In an instant, mournful cries echoed through the secret chamber. The resentment within the blood of the dead frantically attacked the fusion power, attempting to tear it apart.

"Oh no, this resentment is too powerful!" Pan Liwei's face turned pale as he felt the resentment eroding his dark spiritual power.

"Everyone, let's use our spiritual power to suppress this resentment!" Zhang Peng shouted. Everyone circulated their spiritual power, forming a protective barrier to resist the impact of the resentment. Zhang Peng then unleashed the full power of the Chaos Law, attempting to purify the resentment within the blood of the deceased. Under the purifying power of the Chaos Law, the resentment in the blood of the deceased gradually dissipated, merging with the power of the Ice Soul Crystal and the Mysterious Bead.

Finally, Zhang Peng picked up the Chaos Spirit Grass. The grass emitted a soft, multicolored light, creating a wondrous resonance with the power of the fused entity. Zhang Peng gently placed the grass into the fused entity, and it quickly merged into it. The three materials, along with the power of the Chaos Law and the mysterious bead, finally fused perfectly, forming a powerful and pure counterforce.

"We succeeded!" Murong Yu shouted excitedly, and everyone's faces showed relieved smiles.

Zhang Peng carefully sealed the fused power into a specially made jade box. This power would be the key to breaking the black-robed man's forbidden technique. However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the Lingxiao Pavilion, and the entire pavilion shook.

"Oh no, the man in black robes is here!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically; he sensed a powerful dark force approaching. The group quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the secret chamber.

Outside Lingxiao Pavilion, the sky was dyed black by dark power, and countless black-robed figures floated in the air. The leader was the mastermind behind the black-robed figures. He exuded an even more powerful aura than before, and held a magical artifact that emitted a black light in his hand, which was the key item used to cast forbidden techniques.

"Zhang Peng, you think you can break my forbidden technique? You're too naive!" The black-robed mastermind laughed wildly, his voice echoing through the air.

Zhang Peng sneered, "Your conspiracy will not succeed! Today is your doomsday!" With that, he unleashed his strongest sword technique, a combination of the laws of chaos and divine artifacts, and a five-colored sword aura containing boundless power slashed towards the black-robed master.

The black-robed man brandished his magical weapon, unleashing a beam of black light that collided with the five-colored sword energy. The powerful impact distorted the surrounding air, creating deep cracks in the ground.

Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others unleashed their strongest spells, attacking the group of men in black robes. In an instant, magical light flashed, and shouts of battle shook the heavens.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that the magical artifact wielded by the black-robed man seemed to resonate with the dark power within him, continuously enhancing his strength. He had to find a way to destroy this artifact in order to weaken the black-robed man's power.

"Listen up, everyone! Concentrate your attacks on the black-robed man's magical artifact!" Zhang Peng shouted. Hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack direction, focusing their spells on the black-robed man's artifact.

The black-robed leader sensed the group's intentions and frantically swung his magical artifacts, unleashing powerful defensive spells in an attempt to withstand their attacks. However, Zhang Peng and the others' attacks were too fierce; the light on their artifacts began to flicker, and cracks appeared.

Just then, Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the fusion of the Chaos Law and the mysterious bead, injecting it into the divine sword. "Chaos Bead God-Destroying Slash!" he roared, and a sword aura, fused with endless light and power, slashed towards the magical weapon wielded by the black-robed man with a world-destroying momentum.

The sword energy struck the magical artifact, producing a deafening roar. The artifact shattered instantly, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air. The black-robed master also suffered a backlash from the shattered artifact, spitting out blood and swaying precariously.

"Now! Give them the final blow!" Zhang Peng shouted. The crowd launched another attack, a powerful force surging towards the black-robed leader and his men. The black-robed figures were unable to withstand the onslaught and began to flee in all directions.

The black-robed leader watched his subordinates being defeated, his eyes filled with resentment and rage. "Zhang Peng, you wait, I won't let you get away with this!" With that, he cast a mysterious spell, transforming into a black ray of light and disappearing.

Zhang Peng stared intently in the direction where the black-robed leader had disappeared, his brow furrowed. He knew the black-robed leader wouldn't give up easily; the battle wasn't over yet. But for now, he had to clear the battlefield and prepare for the next fight.

"Everyone, let's clean up the battlefield and strengthen the defenses of Lingxiao Pavilion. Although the mastermind in black robes has escaped, he will definitely come back," Zhang Peng said. Everyone nodded and began cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the defensive facilities of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Zhang Peng returned to the secret chamber and began studying the mysterious spells used by the black-robed mastermind during his escape. He knew that only by understanding the enemy's strength could he achieve victory in the next battle. An even more intense final battle might be imminent…
