Chapter 144 Spatial Anomalies
The light suddenly receded, and Zhuang Yu was thrown away by a tremendous force, crashing heavily onto the hard ground.
He groaned and struggled to get up, feeling his blood surging inside him.
The originally gentle spatial power was now raging violently, charging around like a wild horse, causing his meridians to ache slightly.
"Young Master!" Wang Yao exclaimed, rushing to his side and supporting his swaying body. "Are you alright?"
Zhuang Yu waved his hand, suppressing his discomfort, and looked up.
The familiar spatial scene had vanished, replaced by a hazy, chaotic landscape, resembling the scene at the beginning of time.
The spatial power surged like boiling water, emitting deep, rumbling sounds that sent shivers down one's spine.
"What's going on?" he muttered to himself, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
He had explored this mysterious space for many years and had never encountered such an anomaly.
Wang Yao gripped his arm tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, her eyes filled with worry: "Young Master, this place is so scary..."
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his unease, and gently stroked the back of her hand to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He tried to manipulate the power of space, but found that the power that was once as easy to control had become unfamiliar and restless, as if it would backfire at any moment.
The anomaly in this space seemed to have severed their connection with the outside world.
"We... seem to be lost." Wang Yao's voice trembled slightly as she looked around at the hazy space. She felt as if she were in an endless fog, unable to find her way out.
Zhuang Yu looked around, his expression gradually darkening.
This isn't just getting lost; it's clearly falling into a new spatial maze!
The walls of the maze emitted a chilling light, like a monstrous beast ready to devour its prey, sending shivers down one's spine.
"We have to find a way out," Zhuang Yu said in a deep voice, gripping Wang Yao's hand tightly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.
The complexity of this maze far exceeded his previous understanding; it was like a giant cage, trapping them inside.
"Mmm." Wang Yao nodded gently, trying to suppress her fear, and held Zhuang Yu's hand in return, giving him silent support.
Zhuang Yu focused his mind and tried to sense the pulse of the space, searching for a chance to escape.
However, the spatial power remained violent and chaotic, darting around like a headless fly, making it impossible for him to capture any useful information.
Time ticked by, and the maze walls seemed to be slowly closing in, the sense of oppression growing stronger and stronger...
“Young Master, look…” Wang Yao suddenly pointed ahead, her voice trembling slightly, “What is that?”
The sense of oppression in the space grew stronger and stronger, and the walls of the maze seemed to slowly shrink as if they were alive, emitting a teeth-grinding friction sound.
The cold light grew increasingly dazzling, making Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao appear exceptionally pale.
The air became thin, and breathing became difficult, as if an invisible hand was choking them.
“Young Master…” Wang Yao’s face was pale, her chest heaved violently, and her breathing became rapid.
She gripped Zhuang Yu's hand tightly, her fingertips icy cold.
Zhuang Yu sensed Wang Yao's unease, so he gripped her hand tightly, giving her a bit of strength.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes sharp as he scanned the ever-approaching walls around him.
The maze was far more oppressive than he had imagined, and conventional methods of solving it seemed to be completely ineffective.
The power of space remained violent and chaotic, binding him like invisible ropes, leaving him powerless.
"Damn it!" Zhuang Yu cursed under his breath, a surge of annoyance rising in his heart.
He thought he could easily solve the maze with his control over spatial power, but reality gave him a rude awakening.
This sudden turn of events caught him somewhat off guard.
Sweat trickled down his forehead and dripped onto the cold ground.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
In situations like these, it's crucial to remain calm and collected.
He had to find a new way, or he and Wang Yao would be trapped here to die.
He tried to mobilize a trace of spatial power within his body and cautiously probed into the surrounding turbulent spatial currents.
However, this force was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly swallowed up without causing a ripple.
"No, this can't go on." Zhuang Yu opened his eyes. He had to find another way and a breakthrough.
"Young Master..." Wang Yao's voice trembled slightly. She felt her body growing weaker and weaker, and her breathing becoming increasingly difficult. "I...I'm a little..."
Zhuang Yu felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Wang Yao's pale face.
He knew he had to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise Wang Yao might not be able to hold on.
Just then, he suddenly remembered...
"Wait!" Zhuang Yu suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "I think..."
Zhuang Yu suddenly recalled the epiphany he had in that life-or-death moment during his bloody battle with the demonic cultivators!
He briefly touched the source of spatial power and felt an unprecedented sense of control.
Is it...
He closed his eyes, cleared his mind of distractions, focused his spirit into his dantian, and mobilized a trace of true energy.
This wisp of true essence was different from before; it was no longer violent and restless, but rather carried a strange rhythm, slowly merging into the chaotic spatial power around it.
Like the sun breaking through the clouds, the previously chaotic spatial power gradually became clear before him.
He "saw" the spatial network, intricately interwoven like a spider web, and that they were currently trapped in a massive node.
A sudden realization dawned on Zhuang Yu, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
"I see..." He opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
"Young master, have you thought of a way?" Seeing the change in his expression, Wang Yao felt a glimmer of hope, and a blush appeared on her pale face.
Zhuang Yu nodded gently and patted the back of her hand tenderly. "I've found the key to the maze. As long as we can get there, we can break through this maze." His voice was steady and powerful, carrying a reassuring strength.
Wang Yao looked up at him, her eyes filled with admiration and love.
In this perilous labyrinthine space, Zhuang Yu's composure and wisdom were like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating her fears and making her rely on him even more.
Feeling Wang Yao's gaze, Zhuang Yu felt a warmth in his heart.
He held her hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, and a warm current flowed from their fingertips to their hearts, dispelling the surrounding chill.
In this moment of life and death, the feelings between the two deepened, and a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
"Come with me." Zhuang Yu took Wang Yao's hand and walked deeper into the maze.
His steps were firm and powerful, as if he had everything in his grasp.
Wang Yao followed closely behind him, feeling the warmth from his palms, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.
She believed that as long as Zhuang Yu was there, they would definitely be able to escape alive.
Deep within the chilling labyrinth, something seemed to be waiting for them...
“Wait,” Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped, staring ahead, his voice low, “I feel…” Zhuang Yu took Wang Yao’s hand and followed the spatial patterns toward the key node of the maze.
Along the way, the walls of the maze still emitted a cold, eerie light, flickering like a ghost.
Occasionally, spatial rifts would appear out of nowhere, spewing out violent spatial turbulence and emitting sharp whistling sounds.
But for Zhuang Yu, who had already grasped the essence of space, all of this was like child's play.
With a casual wave of his hand, he could transform the spatial turbulence into gentle spatial power, and even use it to accelerate, allowing him to move freely through the maze with Wang Yao.
Wang Yao followed closely behind Zhuang Yu, feeling his composure and confidence, and her fear gradually dissipated.
She watched as Zhuang Yu effortlessly navigated the various traps in the maze, her eyes filled with admiration and love.
She knew that as long as Zhuang Yu was there, any difficulty could be overcome.
Along the way, they also encountered some strange spatial creatures.
These creatures come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble floating ghosts, others winged giant snakes, and still others shimmering crystals.
They seemed to have been drawn by the spatial anomalies and were full of hostility towards Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao.
However, these creatures were not strong. In the face of Zhuang Yu's powerful spatial force, they were as weak as ants and easily defeated.
As they get closer to the critical point, the surrounding space begins to undergo wondrous changes.
The originally cold and gloomy maze walls gradually became transparent, revealing the hazy space outside.
The power of space also became gentler, no longer raging and violent.
Finally, they reached the crucial point.
This is a massive spatial vortex, radiating dazzling light, as mysterious and magnificent as the center of the universe.
The surrounding spatial forces swirled around the vortex, forming beautiful spiral-shaped bands of light.
"This is it." Zhuang Yu looked at the spatial vortex before him.
He took Wang Yao's hand and stepped into the vortex.
The surrounding space instantly twisted and deformed, as if they were in a giant kaleidoscope, where colorful lights intertwined, dazzling and mesmerizing.
When the light faded, they found themselves in a completely new passage.
The passageway was spacious and bright, with ancient runes carved on the walls, radiating a soft glow.
Compared to the previous eerie and terrifying maze, this place was like paradise.
"We did it!" Wang Yao cheered excitedly, hugging Zhuang Yu tightly, her eyes glistening with tears of joy.
Zhuang Yu gently stroked her hair, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Just then, a sinister aura emanated from the depths of the passage, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
Zhuang Yu's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Wait..."
