Chapter 159 We're about to succeed!
Zhuang Yu glanced coldly at the various forces embroiled in the chaos, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips.
He was like a hunter lurking in the shadows, quietly waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Screams, roars, and the clash of weapons mingled together, creating a brutal symphony of war, but none of it concerned him.
He had only one goal—the spiritual vein.
"Brother Zhuang Yu, what should we do next?" Wang Yao asked softly, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes were full of determination and trust.
She held Zhuang Yu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart filled with both nervousness and excitement.
Zhuang Yu did not answer. He looked up in the direction of the spiritual vein, his eyes firm and fervent.
The spiritual vein, like a giant heart, constantly emits a faint light, attracting the attention of every cultivator.
The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by his determination, converging towards the spiritual vein as if in response to his call.
"Yao'er, hold my hand tightly..." Zhuang Yu said softly. He turned and walked towards the spiritual vein, each step unusually firm.
The surrounding cultivators were too preoccupied with the battle to pay attention to anything else, which made his actions even more secretive.
The defensive mechanism of the spiritual veins is full of mysteries, but Zhuang Yu had already thoroughly studied it in his mind.
Instead of resorting to brute force to break through, he began to look for weaknesses in the defenses based on his previous research.
This action surprised the guardian of the spiritual veins.
It originally thought that Zhuang Yu would attack blindly like other cultivators, but it did not expect him to be so calm.
Zhuang Yu closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body flowed along a specific path, as if he were communicating with the spiritual veins in some special way.
His fingers gently touched the surrounding rocks, sensing every subtle change.
His sense of touch told him that the rocks here were harder than elsewhere, but the spiritual energy contained within them seemed weaker.
"This is it," Zhuang Yu murmured to himself. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The guardian of the spiritual vein sensed Zhuang Yu's intention and issued a low warning.
But it didn't act immediately, seemingly observing Zhuang Yu's next move.
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Yao'er, are you ready? We're about to succeed."
Wang Yao nodded, holding Zhuang Yu's hand tightly, as if his hand was her only support.
Zhuang Yu stared intently at the spiritual vein, a cold smile playing on his lips. He slowly extended his right hand, his fingertips gently touching that weak spot.
The moment Zhuang Yu's fingertip touched the weak point, he had a sudden thought and took out a seemingly ordinary jade pendant from the mysterious space.
The jade pendant felt warm and smooth to the touch, emitting a faint glow. Its surface was engraved with complex runes, as if it contained endless energy.
This is the special magical artifact he obtained in the mysterious space—the Boundary-Breaking Pendant.
As Zhuang Yu infused his spiritual power, the Boundary-Breaking Pendant shone brightly, and the runes on the pendant seemed to come alive, dancing and swirling.
A powerful force surged from the jade pendant, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that struck the weakest point of the spiritual vein.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the spiritual vein's defenses were easily torn apart as if they were made of paper.
The surrounding spiritual energy instantly became chaotic, forming a powerful shockwave that swept across the area.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, and even the grass and trees seemed like soldiers. The cultivators in the midst of the battle were all forced back by this force, staring at the scene in horror.
The guardian of the spiritual veins let out an angry roar, its massive body radiating a dazzling light.
Its enormous hand slammed down on Zhuang Yu, the wind howling with devastating force.
Zhuang Yu was prepared and easily dodged the attack with a swift movement.
His footwork was mysterious, darting through the air like a ghost, sometimes appearing on the spirit's left, sometimes on its right. Each attack he made perfectly avoided the spirit's attacks, and he would seize the opportunity to counterattack.
He waved his hands continuously, and sharp sword energies roared out, like silver snakes dancing wildly, drawing beautiful arcs in the air and cutting through the surrounding space.
The sword energy and the spirit's attack collided, bursting into sparks and producing a deafening roar.
Wang Yao stood aside, watching the thrilling battle with bated breath.
Her hands were clasped tightly together, her palms sweaty.
She could feel the intense fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy, as well as the suffocating sense of oppression.
The battle between Zhuang Yu and Ling grew increasingly intense, as if the surrounding space itself was about to be torn apart.
After the spiritual vein's defenses were breached, the surrounding spiritual energy became even denser, continuously surging into Zhuang Yu's body to replenish his depleted spiritual power.
“This…how is this possible?” Ling roared in disbelief.
It discovered that no matter how it attacked, it could not hit Zhuang Yu, while Zhuang Yu's attacks became more and more fierce, seemingly endless.
Zhuang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. However, he gradually discovered that the spiritual vein's defensive mechanism seemed to possess a peculiar adaptability. As his attack intensity increased, its defensive power also continuously strengthened.
The cracks that were easily torn at first are now slowly healing, radiating an even more dazzling light, like an insurmountable chasm.
He felt the spiritual power within his body pouring out like a flood, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to shake the spiritual veins in the slightest.
Sweat soaked his clothes, the heavy pressure weighed on his body, and his breathing became rapid.
His expression gradually turned serious, and his brows furrowed.
"Damn it! This defense mechanism can actually repair itself!" Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
He felt that his body was nearing its limit and his spiritual energy was almost depleted.
Wang Yao stood aside, anxiously watching Zhuang Yu. She could clearly sense Zhuang Yu's predicament.
She gritted her teeth.
A warm energy surged into Zhuang Yu's body, like sweet rain nourishing parched land.
He suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Wang Yao. He saw that her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly, which was obviously due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy.
“Yao’er, you…” A warm feeling welled up in Zhuang Yu’s heart. He hadn’t expected Wang Yao to help him so selflessly.
Wang Yao forced a smile and said weakly, "Brother Zhuang Yu..."
Zhuang Yu quickly helped Wang Yao up and gently placed her on the ground.
Looking at Wang Yao's pale face, he was filled with self-reproach and gratitude.
He held Wang Yao's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, and secretly vowed to protect her.
He took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy that had been replenished within his body. He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on the spiritual vein. A powerful aura erupted from him, as if it would tear the heavens and the earth apart.
"Yao'er, I will never let you down!" Zhuang Yu murmured to himself, his voice filled with determination and confidence.
"wait for me……"
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, and Wang Yao's spiritual power flowed through his body, warm and powerful, perfectly merging with his own spiritual power and unleashing unprecedented power.
He felt an unprecedented power, as if he could control everything.
He stretched out his hand again, his fingertips gleaming like a miniature sun, illuminating the entire space.
"break!"
With a low growl, Zhuang Yu poured all his power into his fingertips and fiercely stabbed at the weak point of the spiritual vein.
A dazzling light erupted once more, accompanied by a deafening roar.
The spiritual vein's defense mechanism trembled violently, like a leaf in a storm, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Cracks spread out like a spider web, making a teeth-grinding cracking sound.
The power of the spiritual veins began to fluctuate uncontrollably, and powerful streams of spiritual energy surged out like a tide, sweeping across the surroundings.
All the forces involved in the chaotic battle were stunned by this power and stopped fighting, staring in horror at the scene.
Tian Yuanzi's face turned pale. He originally thought he could control everything, but he did not expect Zhuang Yu to be so powerful that he easily broke through the spiritual vein's defense.
Elder Feng's expression turned solemn, and he was secretly amazed.
He originally thought Zhuang Yu was just a lucky kid, but he never expected that his strength was so unfathomable.
The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were terrified; they had never seen such a powerful force before, one that seemed capable of destroying everything.
The guardian of the spiritual vein let out a shrill roar, its massive body trembling violently. It tried its best to stabilize the spiritual vein, but found that its strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it was completely unable to stop Zhuang Yu's attack.
Zhuang Yu felt the surging power within him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He walked step by step toward the core of the spiritual vein, each step feeling like a weight on everyone's hearts, making them feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
Just when everyone thought Zhuang Yu was about to completely control the spiritual vein, the core of the spiritual vein suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and an even more powerful force surged out, knocking Zhuang Yu back several steps.
Zhuang Yu steadied himself and looked up at the core of the spiritual vein. He discovered that there was an even more powerful defensive mechanism at the core of the spiritual vein.
This defensive mechanism exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it came from ancient times and contains boundless power.
"It seems the real challenge has only just begun..." Zhuang Yu muttered to himself.
"Boy, do you think you can control the spiritual veins like this?" An ancient and majestic voice rang in Zhuang Yu's ears.
