PFC Chapter 224 Stepping into the Spirit Realm
Chapter 224 Stepping into the Spirit Realm
Zhuang Yu sensed the mysterious aura emanating from the Gate to the Spirit Realm. The aura was profound and unfathomable, like a giant beast lurking in the abyss, its breath carrying a chilling pressure.
Although this aura was eerie, it also contained an irresistible allure, like a jewel shimmering in the darkness, attracting the attention of all explorers.
He knew that the spirit world was fraught with danger, but also with immense opportunities.
Thinking of the legendary rare treasures and the powerful cultivation techniques that could help him reach even greater heights, his eyes became even more determined, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Yu resolutely stepped into the gate to the spirit world.
The surrounding space shimmered with a strange light, rippling out like water and enveloping him.
The light flickered and changed unpredictably, like a passage to another world.
Zhuang Yu felt a sudden dizziness as the scene before him changed rapidly, like a revolving lantern, making it difficult for him to adapt.
But he was filled with curiosity and excitement, and looked forward to this unknown spirit world.
As soon as he stepped into the spirit realm, a powerful and mysterious force rushed towards him, impacting his body like a tidal wave.
This force was incredibly domineering, seemingly trying to force him out of the spirit world and stop him from moving forward.
Zhuang Yu groaned, his body involuntarily taking a step back, staggering a few steps and almost falling to the ground.
He gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and dared not be careless in the slightest.
He knew that this was only the first test from the spirit world, and if he couldn't even withstand this, then he was not qualified to continue exploring.
Zhuang Yu circulated all his spiritual energy, mobilizing the immense power within his dantian, which surged like a rushing river to his limbs and bones.
His body radiated a dazzling light, like a burning fireball, exuding a scorching aura.
He thrust his palms forward, colliding head-on with that mysterious force.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the two forces collided, unleashing a tremendous energy surge.
The surrounding space was shaking violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Zhuang Yu felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
His body trembled slightly, as if he might be torn apart by this force at any moment.
But he gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to back down even a step.
"Break it for me!"
Zhuang Yu roared and unleashed all the spiritual power within his body.
His aura suddenly surged, like a lion awakening, majestic and awe-inspiring.
He finally managed to withstand that mysterious power, and it began to slowly fade away.
Just then, Zhuang Yu suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went black, and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
He vaguely heard a voice in his ear...
"You...you actually..." In the moment of his blurred consciousness, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Zhuang Yu's mind.
That was a peculiar technique he had accidentally learned in a mysterious space, called "Spirit Devouring Technique".
This technique is not an ordinary attack method, but rather a very special way of converting external energy into one's own power.
With a try-it-out mentality, he quickly activated the Spirit Devouring Technique.
The spiritual energy within the dantian surged like a rushing tide, flowing through the meridians along a mysterious trajectory.
A faint golden light gradually appeared on Zhuang Yu's body surface, like a golden cocoon about to break out of its shell, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
As the cultivation technique circulated, the mysterious power that had been oppressing him began to slowly dissipate, no longer as domineering and tyrannical as before.
Zhuang Yu felt the spiritual energy within his body growing stronger, like rain after a long drought.
The mysterious force that initially put him under immense pressure instead became nourishment for his growth.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
The smile was filled with the joy of victory, and also carried a hint of anticipation for unknown challenges.
However, just as Zhuang Yu's confidence was growing, a strong, fishy wind suddenly came from his side and back, and he felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up instantly.
He instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding an attack from a sharp claw.
With a muffled thud, the ground was slammed into a deep crater by the monster's claws, sending rubble flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Zhuang Yu looked closely and saw that it was a huge demonic beast from the spirit world.
The beast was covered in hard black scales that emitted a dark luster, and its two huge fangs gleamed like scimitars.
Its blood-red eyes, like the depths of hell, were filled with a bloodthirsty desire.
Unlike the spirit realm beasts encountered before, this beast was clearly much stronger. The aura emanating from it seemed to distort the surrounding space, indicating that it was definitely at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Zhuang Yu dared not be careless. He quickly mobilized all his spiritual power, gathered it in his palm, and unleashed a sharp beam of spiritual power at the demonic beast.
The monster let out a low roar, seemingly mocking Zhuang Yu's overestimation of his abilities.
It swayed its body, easily dodging the beam of spiritual energy, and then pounced on Zhuang Yu again, its movements as fast as lightning, carrying an aura of world destruction.
Zhuang Yu knew that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy.
Just as the monster's claws were about to tear his body apart, he suddenly stopped moving, as if all his spiritual power had dissipated, revealing a huge opening.
Seeing this, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in the beast's crimson eyes, and it pounced on Zhuang Yu even more frantically...
The monster's claws tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Zhuang Yu's heart.
At this critical moment, Zhuang Yu smiled mysteriously, and his figure suddenly dispersed, drifting away like wisps of smoke.
The monster missed its target, and its massive body, propelled by inertia, crashed headfirst into the swirling vortex of spiritual energy in front of it.
This vortex of spiritual energy was not formed naturally, but was a trap secretly set by Zhuang Yu after he entered the Spirit Realm.
He knew that the spirit world was a complex and ever-changing environment, fraught with danger, so he prepared countermeasures well in advance.
This vortex appears calm, but it actually contains a powerful suction force. Even a powerful expert in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm would find it difficult to escape once trapped inside.
The monster let out a deafening roar, its massive body struggling wildly in the vortex. Its black scales and surging spiritual energy rubbed together, creating dazzling sparks that twinkled like stars in the night sky.
It tried to break free from the vortex's grip, only to find that the more it struggled, the stronger the force pulling it in became.
Zhuang Yu stood outside the vortex, his expression cold and stern, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
He did not rush to make a move, but quietly observed the monster's movements, waiting for the best opportunity.
"The time has come!"
Zhuang Yu thought to himself, quickly forming hand seals and chanting incantations.
The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn towards him, frantically converging and forming a dazzling ball of light in his palm.
The sphere of light emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.
"go with!"
Zhuang Yu let out a low shout and hurled the ball of light in his hand fiercely towards the demonic beast at the center of the vortex.
The ball of light tore through space with a sharp whistling sound, striking the monster instantly like a shooting star.
"Ow—"
The monster let out a shrill scream, its massive body trembled violently, and its black scales peeled off piece by piece, revealing a bloody and mangled body.
The energy of the light orb raged within the monster's body, destroying its meridians, bones, and internal organs.
The monster's struggles grew weaker and weaker until it finally let out a resentful roar. Its massive body gradually dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that merged into the surging vortex of spiritual energy.
Zhuang Yu watched the dissipating magical beast, let out a soft breath, and finally relaxed his tense nerves.
However, just as he was about to turn and leave, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Kid, not bad..."
Zhuang Yu composed himself and cautiously looked around, but found nothing unusual.
That chilling voice seemed to be merely an echo from the depths of the spirit world, fleeting in an instant.
He frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.
The victory he had just achieved greatly boosted his confidence, and the various crises in the spirit world no longer seemed to be obstacles to his progress.
He looked up and saw a place not far away radiating powerful spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy fluctuations rippled through the air like waves, clearly reaching Zhuang Yu's senses.
A thought suddenly struck him: there was a high chance that precious treasures or profound martial arts techniques were hidden there.
This journey to the spirit realm was precisely to seek out these rare opportunities, so Zhuang Yu naturally wouldn't miss it.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, and moved swiftly toward that place.
The surrounding scenery gradually became strange, with a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, soft grass underfoot, and occasional clear birdsong.
He felt as if he had entered a vibrant secret realm, where every step was filled with unknown allure.
As he drew closer, the fluctuations in spiritual energy grew stronger.
Zhuang Yu frowned slightly. He felt a series of slight vibrations, as if some powerful force was stirring in that area.
His adventurous spirit was fully ignited, and he quickened his pace, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
Finally, Zhuang Yu arrived at that mysterious place.
The scene before him shocked him: the area was filled with complex restrictions, and various strange runes floated in the air, forming invisible barriers.
These restrictions are so powerful that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find them difficult to break.
Outside the barrier, the air was filled with rich spiritual energy, and the surrounding vegetation was exceptionally lush and full of life.
Zhuang Yu felt a surge of energy, realizing that there must be a great secret hidden behind these restrictions.
He secretly resolved that he must find a way to break these restrictions and obtain the hidden treasure, no matter what.
Zhuang Yu stood outside the barrier, his gaze deep, pondering a countermeasure.
He knew it would be a tough challenge, but his spirit of exploration was never shaken by any difficulties.
He took a deep breath, preparing to break the restrictions. The story ends abruptly here, foreshadowing the plot development of the next chapter.
