Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 384 The Appearance of Divine Artifacts and the Final Showdown

A burst of light erupted from the opened box, so bright that everyone had to squint. As the light subsided, they could see the artifact clearly: it was an ancient-looking longsword, its blade crystal clear and shimmering with mysterious runes. A gemstone emitting a soft glow was inlaid at the hilt, seemingly containing boundless power.

Zhang Peng slowly reached out and grasped the sword hilt. In an instant, a powerful force surged through his arm into his body, resonating strongly with the chaotic laws within him. Ancient images resurfaced in his mind, but this time they were much clearer. He saw how ancient cultivators used this divine weapon to fight powerful enemies, and he witnessed the countless conflicts and protections it sparked in different eras.

"This sword... its power is beyond imagination," Zhang Peng murmured to himself, his voice filled with a hint of shock.

Murong Yu stepped forward, his eyes filled with curiosity and admiration: "Zhang Peng, is this the ancient artifact? It looks extraordinary."

Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute, her eyes sparkling with a lively light: "The power of this divine artifact seems to complement the laws of chaos. Zhang Peng, can you sense its deeper mysteries?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the temple, as if some powerful force was approaching. Zhang Peng's expression changed slightly, he put away the divine artifact, and led everyone out of the temple quickly.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and a massive black vortex slowly formed. From within the vortex, a figure shrouded in black mist emerged—the leader of the black-robed men who had escaped earlier. At this moment, he emanated an even more powerful aura than before, clearly receiving some kind of secret enhancement.

"Hand over the divine artifact, or the entire cultivation world will perish for your stubbornness!" The black-robed leader's voice was cold and threatening, echoing through the valley.

Zhang Peng snorted coldly, gripped the divine artifact in his hand, and the power of the chaotic laws around him merged with the power of the artifact, radiating a powerful aura: "If you want the divine artifact, then take it with your own ability!"

The leader of the black-robed figures rapidly formed hand seals, and black mist surged from his hands, transforming into countless black blades that shot towards Zhang Peng and the others. Zhang Peng unleashed the defensive power of the Chaos Law, combining it with the power of the divine artifact to form an indestructible shield, protecting everyone within it. The black blades struck the shield, producing a series of crisp sounds, but they could not penetrate the shield even slightly.

Murong Yu unleashed the strongest move of the "Gentle Breeze Breaking Clouds Sword," "Gentle Breeze Chasing the Moon," a blazing sword aura carrying dazzling light shot towards the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader waved his sleeve, and black mist instantly enveloped the sword aura, causing it to vanish without a trace.

Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, unleashing a newly mastered sonic defense technique that created an invisible protective barrier around everyone. Simultaneously, she played offensive sonic waves, attempting to disrupt the black-robed leader's magic. However, the black-robed leader seemed to be on guard against sonic magic; he unleashed a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy, completely blocking Liu Ruoli's sonic spells.

Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed the ultimate move of their dark spiritual power, "Dark Annihilation." Their combined spiritual power formed a massive black energy sphere, which charged towards the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader's expression changed slightly. He quickly mobilized the surrounding black mist, forming a sturdy defensive barrier. The black energy sphere struck the barrier, triggering a violent energy fluctuation that caused the entire valley to tremble.

Taking advantage of a gap in the black-robed leader's defense, Zhang Peng unleashed a unique sword technique combining the laws of chaos with a divine artifact. He swung the artifact, and a five-colored light, carrying boundless power, slashed towards the black-robed leader. Within the light, the power of the laws of chaos and the power of the divine artifact intertwined, creating an immense sense of oppression.

The leader of the black-robed men felt an unprecedented threat, and a look of fear appeared on his face. He exerted all his strength to gather all the black mist in front of him, forming a black shield.

"Boom!" The multicolored light collided violently with the black shield, producing a deafening roar. The powerful energy shock caused the surrounding mountains to collapse, and thick dust filled the valley.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw that the black shield of the black-robed leader had been shattered, his body was swaying precariously, and a trace of blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"No...this is impossible..." the leader of the black-robed men cried out in despair.

Zhang Peng stepped forward, the divine weapon in his hand radiating a dazzling light: "It's all over." He waved the weapon, a flash of light appeared, and the figure of the black-robed leader slowly disappeared, leaving only emptiness.

As the leader of the black-robed men disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth once more. Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief; this thrilling battle had finally come to an end.

"We succeeded..." Liu Ruoli said wearily, a relieved smile on her face.

Looking at the divine artifact in his hand, Zhang Peng was filled with emotion. He knew that while the artifact had resolved the immediate crisis, it also brought new responsibilities. He decided to take the artifact back to Lingxiao Pavilion and discuss with the various sects how to properly safeguard it to ensure peace and tranquility in the cultivation world.

On the way back to Lingxiao Pavilion, everyone felt exceptionally relaxed. They reflected on every detail of the battle, appreciating each other's growth and sacrifices. Zhang Peng also silently pondered that the future of the cultivation world might face various challenges, but as long as they united and utilized the power of the Chaos Laws and divine artifacts, they would surely be able to protect this land they loved…
