Chapter 138 Spatial Disruption
Chapter 138 Spatial Disruption
Space was like an enraged beast, emitting deep roars.
The ground undulated violently, like waves on the sea, making it difficult to stand firm.
The light on the wall flickered, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.
Zhuang Yu held Wang Yao tightly, feeling her body trembling slightly.
His eyes were sharp as he scanned his surroundings, trying to find the source of this strange change.
A crisp cracking sound broke the silence of the space.
Suddenly, dark cracks appeared on the once smooth wall, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
A chilling aura of darkness surged from the crack, as if something terrifying was about to break free.
Zhuang Yu's nerves were on edge, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
He could sense that within that darkness lay a powerful force capable of threatening his life.
A deep roar came from the crack, shaking the entire space.
Several shadow beasts, entirely black and ghostly in appearance, darted out from the crack.
They exuded a suffocating dark aura, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, and they lunged at Zhuang Yu with bared fangs and claws.
Zhuang Yu's expression darkened, and he immediately shielded Wang Yao behind him, rapidly forming hand seals.
Barriers formed by spiritual energy rapidly unfolded in front of him, blocking the attacks of the Shadow Beast.
The Shadow Beast's sharp claws slammed into the spiritual energy barrier, producing muffled "bangs" and splashing bursts of light.
Zhuang Yu could clearly feel that the power of the Shadow Beast was constantly impacting his defenses, and the rate at which his spiritual energy was being consumed was also accelerating.
The Shadow Beasts were not willing to give up. They roared incessantly and launched wave after wave of attacks, using their claws and teeth to bite and tear at everything in their path, constantly testing the limits of Zhuang Yu's defense.
Zhuang Yu felt increasingly pressured, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of backing down.
He knew that once the defenses were breached, both he and Wang Yao would be in danger.
Wang Yao clenched her fists nervously, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She looked at Zhuang Yu ahead with worry, her heart filled with unease.
"Brother Yu..." Wang Yao called softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhuang Yu did not respond. His gaze was fixed on the shadow beasts, and at the same time, he silently communicated with the mysterious space in his mind.
He sensed that a powerful force was slowly awakening deep within that space.
He tensed up, but then he heard Wang Yao's somewhat puzzled voice beside him: "Brother Yu, don't you feel that the atmosphere here... seems a little different?"
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth, his spiritual power surging like a rushing river.
With a thought, he successfully awakened the dormant power in the mysterious space.
A warm and powerful energy surged into his meridians, instantly restoring his previously depleted spiritual power and making it even purer and stronger.
Zhuang Yu felt as if he had been reborn, and his strength had increased several times over.
He formed hand seals again, this time creating an even more indestructible spiritual barrier, like a massive wall of bronze and iron, firmly blocking the shadow beast.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light, like two swords piercing straight towards the Shadow Beast.
"Roar—" The Shadow Beast's roar rang out again, but this time there was a hint of fear in its roar.
They instinctively sensed that the power of the human before them seemed to have become even more terrifying.
Zhuang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. He swung his right hand sharply, and an even more solid spiritual energy blade condensed in his palm.
The light blade emitted a dazzling light, carrying the power to tear through space, and slashed fiercely at a shadow beast.
With a muffled "thud," the light blade struck the shadow beast accurately.
The Shadow Beast let out a shrill scream as its body was cleaved in two by the light blade, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
"Brother Yu, you're amazing!" Wang Yao excitedly waved her little fist, cheering Zhuang Yu on.
Her voice was clear and melodious, full of trust and admiration, like a clear spring nourishing Zhuang Yu's heart.
Upon hearing Wang Yao's voice, Zhuang Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his strength seemed to increase even further.
He felt that Wang Yao was not only his follower, but also his driving force and the softest spot in his heart.
He turned his head, gave Wang Yao a faint smile, and then turned his gaze back to the remaining Shadow Beasts.
He moved his hands rapidly, and a series of spiritual energy blades flew out, accurately striking the shadow beasts.
Under Zhuang Yu's relentless onslaught, the Shadow Beast let out a series of miserable screams, its body turning into black smoke and dissipating completely.
When the last Shadow Beast was defeated, the entire space returned to a brief period of calm.
Zhuang Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the spiritual energy within his body gradually calmed down.
He turned to look at Wang Yao, about to say something, when he suddenly heard Wang Yao speak again: "Brother Yu, the atmosphere here... seems really different, and... it seems to be getting stronger and stronger..."
Before Wang Yao could finish speaking, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently again.
The frequency of the spatial vibrations became increasingly rapid, each tremor like a giant hammer slamming into the ground, sending chills down one's spine.
Zhuang Yu held Wang Yao tightly, feeling the trembling of her body in his arms, and his heart was burning with anxiety.
The surrounding space began to distort, like a giant meat grinder, constantly contracting inward and squeezing the space they were in.
The air became incredibly thick, like being in a quagmire, making it difficult to breathe.
Zhuang Yu felt an invisible pressure coming from all directions, making it hard for him to breathe, and it felt as if his bones were about to be crushed.
He could clearly feel Wang Yao's petite body trembling slightly, and her face turning pale.
He knew that if things continued like this, both he and Wang Yao would face great danger.
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort in his body, and tried his best to circulate the spiritual energy in his body to resist the powerful squeezing force.
His eyes gleamed as he scanned his surroundings, trying to find a way to escape.
However, the surrounding space seemed to be bound by an invisible force, making it impossible to break free.
Just when Zhuang Yu was at his wit's end, he suddenly realized that the Shadow Beast's attacks did not seem to be completely random.
Each attack followed a certain rhythm, and this rhythm was precisely his opportunity to counterattack.
He stopped playing defensively and started taking the initiative.
Every time the space trembled, he could predict the movement trajectory of the Shadow Beast in advance, seize the opportunity, and release a fierce spiritual attack.
"Bang bang bang!"
A barrage of spiritual energy blades rained down on the Shadow Beast, creating deafening explosions.
Under Zhuang Yu's relentless attacks, the Shadow Beast was forced to retreat, its body riddled with charred holes, emitting mournful howls.
The bloodlust in their eyes gradually dimmed, replaced by deep fear.
Finally, under Zhuang Yu's powerful attack once again, the last Shadow Beast also turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
The surrounding pressure suddenly lessened, and Zhuang Yu felt a sense of relief.
A slight smile of victory appeared on his lips.
He knew he had overcome the crisis once again.
Wang Yao looked at Zhuang Yu
"Brother Yu, you're really amazing!" Wang Yao said excitedly, her clear voice like a melodious bell, warming Zhuang Yu's heart.
Zhuang Yu was about to respond when he felt the tremors beneath his feet growing stronger. He frowned and looked around.
"Brother Yu, this place... looks like it's going to collapse!" Wang Yao said anxiously, her voice trembling slightly.
Zhuang Yu noticed that the vibration of the space was approaching a critical point, the cracks in the surrounding ground were increasing, and the space seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. A suffocating sense of oppression came again, as if the entire space was about to collapse in the next second.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath. He keenly sensed that a strange fluctuation seemed to be emanating from the depths of space.
He grabbed Wang Yao's hand and looked firmly in one direction: "Come on, let's go take a look over there!"
Zhuang Yu pulled Wang Yao along, running against the flow of people towards the direction from which the strange fluctuation came.
The sense of distortion and compression in the space grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to crush them into dust.
Wang Yao held Zhuang Yu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength in his palm, which brought her some peace of mind.
Although she didn't understand why Zhuang Yu chose this seemingly more dangerous path, she chose to trust him unconditionally.
The air was thick with the smell of dust and gravel, making one's throat itch.
The deafening roar continued, and the ground shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Zhuang Yu walked with a steady gait and sharp eyes. He took each step with extreme care, avoiding the ground and falling rocks that could collapse at any moment.
Wang Yao followed closely behind him, not daring to relax for a moment.
As they went deeper, the vibrations in the space miraculously diminished.
The surrounding roar gradually faded away, replaced by an eerie silence.
This silence was more unsettling than the previous clamor.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to a new passage.
A faint, eerie blue light flickered at the entrance to the passage, like will-o'-the-wisps, sending chills down one's spine.
The passage was pitch black and bottomless, like an entrance to hell.
“Brother Yu, this…” Wang Yao hesitated, instinctively sensing that this passage was full of danger.
Zhuang Yu didn't speak, but held Wang Yao's hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the passage first.
Wang Yao bit her lip and resolutely followed.
It was pitch black in the passage, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Wang Yao clung tightly to Zhuang Yu, feeling the warmth emanating from him, which brought her some peace of mind.
She could feel that the air in the passage was unusually damp and cold, as if something was watching them from the shadows.
They walked along the passage for a long time, but it was still pitch black all around, as if there was no end in sight.
Just as Wang Yao was about to lose patience, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared ahead.
As they drew closer, the light grew brighter and brighter, until finally they reached the end of the passage.
What appeared before them was a massive restriction.
The barrier emitted a dazzling light, like a giant light curtain, completely sealing off the end of the passage.
The barrier shimmered with light and runes, radiating a powerful aura that inspired awe.
"This..." Wang Yao gasped as she looked at the enormous restriction in front of her.
Zhuang Yu didn't speak. He slowly reached out his hand, probing towards the direction of the restriction...
