Chapter 177 Seizing the Inheritance
Beneath the seal, a cold and evil aura surged, like a lurking beast, ready to devour its prey.
Zhuang Yu frowned, keenly noticing this unsettling fluctuation.
He dared not let his guard down; the evil of this force far exceeded his imagination.
As he continued to break the seal, he cautiously sent a wisp of his divine sense toward the source of the evil aura.
The surrounding runes flickered faster and faster, their light intertwining like bolts of lightning slicing through the night sky, illuminating the entire space with flickering light and shadow, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.
"Om-"
The runes on the seal emitted a deep hum, the light suddenly receded, and the complex patterns rapidly reorganized like flowing water, eventually converging into an ancient pattern.
Zhuang Yu felt a powerful suction force coming from the center of the pattern, as if it wanted to swallow him up.
He gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and sped up the process of breaking the seal.
The power within the mysterious space continuously flowed into his body, providing him with strong support.
He rapidly formed hand seals, and mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, merging into the seal.
"Click——"
A crisp sound broke the silence, and a small crack appeared in the pattern on the seal.
The moment the gap appeared, an even more powerful evil aura surged out, carrying a nauseating stench, and rushed straight to Zhuang Yu's face.
Zhuang Yu was prepared. He suddenly activated his spiritual power, forming a solid barrier in front of him.
The evil aura struck the barrier, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound, and ripples spread across the barrier's surface.
"Break!" Zhuang Yu roared, pouring all his spiritual power into the seal without reservation.
"boom--"
The seal finally broke, and a dazzling light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire ruins.
Within the light, a powerful force surged into Zhuang Yu's body. He felt as if his body was being injected with boundless energy, and every cell was cheering with joy.
At the same time, beneath the seal, a dark figure slowly emerged...
"It's done!" Zhuang Yu was overjoyed. He felt an unprecedentedly powerful force flowing through his body, a feeling that intoxicated him.
However, just as he was immersed in joy, a cold voice rang in his ear, "The inheritance...is mine..."
The shadow gradually solidified, revealing Xuanjizi's face, twisted with jealousy.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Zhuang Yu, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
"The legacy...is mine..." he growled through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.
Xuanjizi could not accept the reality before him.
He boasted of his exceptional talent and devoted himself to studying the secrets for many years, yet he was still unable to break the final seal.
Zhuang Yu, a nobody in his eyes, actually beat him to the punch and obtained the inheritance he had always dreamed of!
How could he be willing to do this?
Jealousy burned fiercely in his heart, and reason was completely consumed.
He rushed towards Zhuang Yu without regard for anything else, his hands flashing with magic seals, and a sharp sword aura pierced straight into Zhuang Yu's chest.
He wants to seize the inheritance, even at any cost!
Zhuang Yu looked at him coldly, a disdainful smile curving her lips.
The power of inheritance surged within him, making him feel stronger than ever before.
He gently raised his right hand, and an invisible force gathered in his palm, forming a transparent barrier.
"Overestimating yourself." Zhuang Yu's voice was as cold as frost.
Xuanjizi's sword energy crashed fiercely against the barrier, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without causing a ripple.
The barrier remained unmoved and was unbreakable.
The next moment, Zhuang Yu waved his hand back, and a vast power surged towards Xuanjizi like a tidal wave.
Xuanjizi felt an irresistible force strike him, and he tumbled through the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"puff--"
Xuanjizi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.
He struggled to stand up, but found that all his bones felt as if they were shattered, and the excruciating pain made it difficult for him to move.
He looked up, staring at Zhuang Yu in horror.
Zhuang Yu slowly walked up to him, looking down at him as if he were an ant.
"You think you can seize the inheritance?" His voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "How laughable."
He raised his foot and slowly stepped on Xuanjizi's chest, a powerful pressure enveloping him.
Xuanjizi felt short of breath, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, making him unable to move.
"Stop!" a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Bing stumbled over and stood in front of Xuanjizi, his face pale and his whole body trembling.
"Oh?" Zhuang Yu stopped and looked at him with interest. "You want to plead for him?"
Xiao Bing swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "Young Master Zhuang... please forgive us when you can. Senior Brother Xuanji was just confused for a moment..."
Zhuang Yu ignored him and turned his gaze to the broken seal.
There, an even more powerful aura is slowly awakening...
"It's too late," Zhuang Yu said calmly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Deep within the ruins, dust swirled and pebbles scattered.
After the seal shattered, an ancient and evil aura spread out, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
The guardian spirit of the ruins, a colossal figure formed from pure energy, let out a deafening roar.
It was completely transparent, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, like a messenger from hell.
The breaking of the seal meant the failure of its mission to protect it, which enraged it.
"You lowly ants, how dare you desecrate the sacred seal!" The guardian spirit's voice echoed like thunder through the ruins.
Its massive body suddenly moved, stirring up a gust of wind, and rushed towards Zhuang Yu with destructive power.
Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened; he knew this battle was inevitable.
He took a deep breath and mobilized the surging power of his inheritance to form a golden shield.
"boom!"
The guardian spirit's attack came like a landslide, crashing heavily into Zhuang Yu's shield.
The shield trembled violently, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Zhuang Yu groaned as a powerful impact forced him back several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the surging blood within him, and fixed his gaze firmly on his guardian spirit.
He knew he couldn't back down; Wang Yao was still waiting for him outside the ruins, and he had to stop the spread of this evil force.
"For Wang Yao's sake, I must not fall!" Zhuang Yu shouted in his heart, and a powerful force of conviction surged from his body, strengthening his shield.
The golden shield shone brightly, firmly blocking the guardian spirit's attack.
The guardian spirit's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Zhuang Yu's wounds multiplied, with blood seeping out and staining his clothes red.
But he remained steadfast, as firm as a rock.
"Ah!" Zhuang Yu roared, unleashing all the remaining power of his inheritance, transforming it into a golden pillar of light that shot straight toward the guardian spirit.
The guardian spirit let out a painful roar, its massive body trembled violently, and the eerie blue light gradually dimmed.
Just then, Zhuang Yu felt a pang of fear. He turned around abruptly and looked at the place where the seal had broken.
"Not good..." he murmured.
Where the seal broke, a thick black mist billowed out, carrying a nauseating stench, as if it came from the deepest hell.
Through the mist, a hideous face could be vaguely seen, emitting a silent roar that sent chills down one's spine.
This evil force was more powerful than any enemy Zhuang Yu had ever encountered before, as if it wanted to devour all light and hope.
Zhuang Yu's heart sank. He took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.
Golden runes danced at his fingertips, flying towards the black mist like fireflies.
The moment the rune came into contact with the mist, it made a sizzling sound, like oil being poured on a raging fire, and burst out with dazzling light.
"In my name, I hereby decree—Seal!" Zhuang Yu roared, his voice like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the entire ruins.
The golden runes surged instantly, transforming into golden chains that tightly bound the black mist.
The fog churned violently, emitting a mournful howl, as if trying to break free of its restraints.
But the golden chains were unbreakable, and no matter how the mist struggled, it could not budge them in the slightest.
Zhuang Yu's face was pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Sealing this evil force was far more difficult than he had imagined.
He felt his strength rapidly draining away, as if he were being squeezed dry.
But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
As time passed, the struggles of the black mist grew weaker and weaker until it finally fell silent, firmly bound by golden chains and unable to move any further.
Zhuang Yu let out a long sigh and slowly lowered his hands.
He felt weak all over, as if he had collapsed.
But he was filled with joy because he had succeeded; he had stopped the spread of evil forces and protected the world.
The dazzling light gradually faded, and Zhuang Yu's figure reappeared in the ruins.
He emanated a faint golden light, like a god descending to earth, making people dare not look directly at him.
The surrounding air became fresher, as if it had been purified.
Zhuang Yu walked out of the ruins step by step and came to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao smiled with joy when she saw him return safely.
She was about to speak when Zhuang Yu stopped her with a look.
Zhuang Yu gazed into the distance, knowing that new challenges awaited him; this battle was merely the beginning…
He slowly reached out and grasped Wang Yao's hand. A warm current flowed from his palm into Wang Yao's body.
“Next…” Zhuang Yu paused, his tone low, “it might be even more dangerous.”
