Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 196 Mysterious Inheritance Deep Within the Ruins

Zhang Peng and the others hurried through the passage, their footsteps echoing in the empty space, each step rapid and tense. A golden-winged roc circled overhead, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings warily, ready to respond to any potential danger. Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan followed closely behind Zhang Peng. Although their spiritual energy was greatly depleted, their will to survive kept them going despite their exhaustion, daring not to slacken their efforts in the slightest.

"Zhang Peng, can we really find a way out of here?" Xia Lijuan asked breathlessly, her voice filled with exhaustion and worry.

Zhang Peng didn't turn around and said firmly, "We definitely can. Since this ruin hides the conspiracy of dark forces, there must be a way to break it. Let's continue searching."

As they ventured deeper into the passage, the surrounding temperature gradually decreased, and a thin layer of frost began to condense on the walls. Suddenly, a massive stone gate appeared ahead, its surface covered with intricate runes that shimmered with a faint blue light and exuded a mysterious aura.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and carefully examined the runes, trying to find a way to open the stone gate. Just then, some information he had seen in ancient books suddenly surfaced in his mind; these runes seemed to be related to an ancient tradition.

"I think I've found some clues," Zhang Peng said in a low voice. He concentrated his mind and slowly poured his spiritual power into the runes.

As spiritual energy was infused into the runes, their light gradually intensified, and the stone door slowly trembled, emitting a muffled sound. With the opening of the stone door, a powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed out, invigorating everyone.

Behind the door was a massive stone chamber, in the center of which floated a ball of light radiating multicolored energy, seemingly containing boundless power. Around the ball of light were various ancient magical artifacts and secret manuals, each exuding an alluring aura.

"Could this be the core of the ruins?" Lin Wan'er asked in surprise, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Zhang Peng slowly walked into the stone chamber. He could feel the powerful energy contained within the ball of light, an energy that seemed to be calling to him. As he approached the ball of light, it suddenly emitted a beam of light that merged into his body.

Instantly, a flood of information rushed into Zhang Peng's mind. This information concerned an ancient cultivation technique and a method for manipulating the power of ancient ruins. This technique was called the "Chaos Spiritual Technique." When cultivated to its peak, it could control the power of chaos, possessing earth-shattering strength.

"Zhang Peng, what's wrong?" Lin Wan'er asked anxiously when she saw Zhang Peng's unusual behavior.

Zhang Peng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "I have obtained a mysterious inheritance, a powerful cultivation technique. Perhaps we can use it to completely stop the dark forces' conspiracy."

Just as they were basking in their joy, hurried footsteps echoed through the passage. Pan Liwei and his men from the dark forces caught up, their eyes gleaming with greed as they saw the scene in the stone chamber.

"Zhang Peng, hand over the inheritance!" Pan Liwei said viciously, his staff flashing with black light, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Zhang Peng snorted coldly: "Pan Liwei, don't even think about it! This inheritance is meant to stop your conspiracy, and it will never fall into your hands."

Pan Liwei's face darkened. He waved his staff, and the dark forces immediately surrounded Zhang Peng and his companions. Dark magic surged forth like a black tide, sweeping towards Zhang Peng and his group.

Zhang Peng unleashed the initial power of the "Chaotic Spirit Technique," and a multicolored light shot from his hand, colliding with the dark magic. The light and darkness intertwined, bursting forth with intense brilliance that illuminated the entire stone chamber.

Lin Wan'er and Xia Lijuan quickly joined the battle, unleashing their respective spells and engaging in fierce combat with the dark forces. The Golden-Winged Roc circled in the air, constantly emitting sharp cries as it attacked the dark forces.

However, the dark forces were numerous and, under Pan Liwei's command, worked together seamlessly. Although Zhang Peng and his group were not weak, they gradually found themselves in a difficult battle.

"This can't go on; we have to find a way to break through." Zhang Peng thought anxiously as he parried the attacks while pondering a solution.

Suddenly, he remembered the magical artifacts and secret manuals in the stone chamber. Perhaps there was something among them that could help them. He unleashed his spiritual power and flew towards the surrounding artifacts and manuals.

Among these magical artifacts and secret manuals, he discovered an ancient bronze mirror, its surface covered in mysterious runes and emitting a faint glow. As he picked up the mirror, information about it flooded his mind.

This bronze mirror is called the "Mirror of Deception," capable of dispelling all illusions in the world and also unleashing powerful attacks. Zhang Peng was overjoyed and immediately used his spiritual power to activate the Mirror of Deception.

The Mirror of Truth shone brightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from it, heading towards the members of the dark forces. Wherever the light touched, the dark forces' spells dissipated, and their bodies were struck by the light, emitting painful screams.

"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Pan Liwei looked at the Mirror of Truth in horror, feeling a powerful threat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed his full power, pushing the strength of the "Chaotic Spirit Technique" to its limit. Multicolored light raged through the stone chamber, and the members of the dark forces collapsed, incapacitated.

Seeing the situation was dire, Pan Liwei tried to escape. But Zhang Peng wouldn't let him go. He unleashed the power of the Mirror of Truth, sending a beam of light towards Pan Liwei, blocking his escape route.

"Pan Liwei, your end is near!" Zhang Peng shouted and charged towards Pan Liwei.
