Chapter 470 The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb and the Mysterious Guardian
The gate slowly opened, releasing an ancient and eerie aura that seemed to awaken a thousand-year-old secret. Zhang Peng and the others gripped their magical artifacts tightly and cautiously stepped into the ancient tomb. A faint mist permeated the tomb passage, and gems emitting a ghostly green light were embedded in the walls, illuminating the path ahead.
"Be careful, this ancient tomb likely holds hidden dangers," Zhang Peng whispered a warning, while simultaneously circulating the chaotic law power of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, sensing the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations. Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly, its blade trembling slightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers. Liu Ruoli placed her jade flute to her lips and played "Sonic Chaos Shield," the melodious flute music echoing through the tomb passage, constructing an invisible defensive barrier for them.
They walked along the tomb passage, their footsteps echoing clearly in the silent ancient tomb. Suddenly, a low roar came from ahead, reverberating through the passage and sending chills down their spines. "What is that?" Murong Yu stopped alertly, his eyes fixed on what was ahead.
As the roar grew closer, a colossal figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a behemoth, the size of an ox, its entire body covered in black scales, each scale gleaming with a cold light. Its eyes flashed with a blood-red light, and the icy breath it exhaled instantly froze the surrounding air.
"This is the Frost Abyss Demon Bull, its strength is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He quickly cast "Law Cage," enveloping the three of them within it to defend against the Frost Abyss Demon Bull's attack. The Frost Abyss Demon Bull roared angrily, swinging its massive horns and charging towards the cage. The powerful impact caused the cage to shake violently, its light flickering erratically.
Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate technique of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breathless Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind," creating a vortex of sword energy centered on himself that surged towards the Frost Abyss Demon Bull. The sword energy sliced through the Frost Abyss Demon Bull's scales like sharp blades, sending sparks flying. Enraged, the Frost Abyss Demon Bull thrashed wildly, trying to escape the sword energy's attack.
Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades that shot towards the Frost Abyss Demon Bull. The sonic blades struck the Frost Abyss Demon Bull, making "bang" sounds, and tiny cracks appeared on the Frost Abyss Demon Bull's body.
Concentrating his mind within the cage, Zhang Peng used the power of the Chaos Laws to sense the power fluctuations of the Frost Abyss Demon Bull. He discovered that although the Frost Abyss Demon Bull was powerful, its attack methods were relatively simple. "Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, this Frost Abyss Demon Bull's attacks are mainly concentrated on the front. Let's attack from both sides and find its weakness!" Zhang Peng shouted.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately changed their attack strategy. Murong Yu circled around to the left side of the Frost Abyss Demon Bull and unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Breath-Splitting Slash," a sharp sword aura stabbing towards the Frost Abyss Demon Bull's side. Liu Ruoli, on the other hand, moved to the right side of the Frost Abyss Demon Bull and played "Sonic Chaos Storm," the sound waves transforming into powerful energy, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the right side of the Frost Abyss Demon Bull.
Under the combined attack of the three, the Frost Abyss Demon Bull gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught. Its body was covered in wounds, and its scales kept falling off. Finally, the Frost Abyss Demon Bull let out a desperate roar, collapsed to the ground, and turned into a pool of blood.
Having defeated the Frost Abyss Demon Bull, the three continued their journey. At the end of the tomb passage was a massive burial chamber, inside which lay a huge stone coffin. The coffin was covered with mysterious runes and emanated powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.
Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the runes on the stone coffin. He discovered that these runes were somehow connected to clues about the first key recorded in ancient texts. "This stone coffin might just contain the first key we're looking for," Zhang Peng said.
He channeled the power of the Chaos Laws, a power he possessed at the late Nascent Soul stage, attempting to decipher the meaning of the runes. As the power of the Chaos Laws was infused, the runes flickered and gradually changed. Some previously blurry patterns became clearer, seemingly guiding them on how to open the stone coffin.
“Following the guidance of these runes, we need to inject three different types of spiritual energy into the stone coffin in a specific order,” Zhang Peng said.
Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli nodded in understanding. Murong Yu unleashed the power of the Chaos Law, while Liu Ruoli unleashed the power of sound waves, coordinating with Zhang Peng's power of the Chaos Law. Following the guidance of the runes, they channeled their spiritual energy into the stone coffin.
As spiritual energy was infused, the runes on the stone coffin shone brighter and brighter. Suddenly, the stone coffin emitted a muffled sound and slowly opened. A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the coffin, shaking everyone's minds.
Inside the stone coffin lay a key radiating golden light, its surface covered in mysterious runes that echoed those on the coffin itself. "This is the first key!" Zhang Peng exclaimed excitedly, reaching out to pick it up.
The moment he picked up the key, a sinister laugh echoed through the tomb. "Trying to take the key? Not so easy!" A phantom figure slowly appeared, emanating a chilling aura, holding a scythe that glowed blue.
"Another guardian spirit!" Liu Ruoli exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Peng's expression turned solemn; he knew a new battle was about to begin. He gripped the key tightly, activating the "Chaos Law Shield," preparing to meet the guardian spirit's attack...
