Chapter 219 An unexpected gain
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked cautiously along the passage in the mysterious ruins that was emitting a faint blue light. The strange runes flashing on the wall from time to time seemed to be spying on their every move, which made Yun Yao feel cold. Chu Mochen remained highly alert. He held the long sword tightly in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if echoing the ancient atmosphere in this mysterious ruins.
Finally, they arrived at the core area of the ruins. The space here was extremely vast, with a dome towering into the clouds, and a layer of light mist filled the air, casting a mysterious veil over everything. On the central stone platform, there was a treasure chest emitting a faint blue light. The light was like a dream, as if calling them.
Yun Yao's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a strong premonition came to her mind. She slowly approached the treasure chest, and every step seemed extremely cautious, as if the ground under her feet could trigger a deadly mechanism at any time. When she stood in front of the treasure chest, she could clearly feel the powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the treasure chest, and this fluctuation seemed to have produced some subtle resonance with the spiritual power in her body.
She took a deep breath, stretched out her trembling hand, and gently placed it on the lid of the treasure chest. Just as she was about to open the treasure chest, Chu Mochen suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "Yun Yao, be careful of fraud." Yun Yao nodded slightly. She naturally understood the danger, but her inner curiosity and desire for treasures drove her to continue.
"I know, but we've come this far, so we have to take a look anyway." Yun Yao responded softly, with determination in her eyes.
After making sure that there was no danger around, Yun Yao slowly pushed open the lid of the treasure chest. In an instant, a dazzling blue light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire core area. Yun Yao subconsciously closed her eyes, and only opened them slowly after the light faded.
Inside the treasure chest, a crystal clear spirit bead was quietly suspended in the air. It was like a miniature star, emitting pure and powerful spiritual light. Inside the spirit bead, there seemed to be strands of light swimming around, as if it contained a mysterious little world. Under the spirit bead, there was an ancient secret book lying flat. The cover of the secret book was made of unknown animal skin, and there were some strange symbols engraved on it. These symbols exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and people could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
Yun Yao was overjoyed. She could feel the importance of this spiritual pearl and secret book to herself. At this time, the system's prompt sounded in her mind: "Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Lingxu Holy Pearl. This pearl contains extremely pure and powerful spiritual power between heaven and earth, which can help you quickly break through the bottleneck of cultivation and improve your cultivation realm. At the same time, the secret book is the long-lost "Spiritual Fantasy Heavenly Scripture", which records a unique cultivation method. If you can comprehend it, your strength will surely increase greatly."
Yun Yao couldn't wait to reach out and grasp the spirit pearl. Just when her fingers were about to touch the spirit pearl, suddenly, an evil aura surged from all directions like a tide. This aura was icy cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, and Yun Yao's body froze instantly.
Chu Mochen's face changed, and he quickly protected Yun Yao behind him, holding his sword across his chest, and looked around vigilantly. "Who is it? How dare you hide here!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty ruins, but only a sinister sneer came from the evil aura.
"Little girl, hand over the spirit pearl and the secret book, or you will die today." A man in a black robe slowly walked out from the shadows. His face was hidden under the black robe, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but from the strong evil aura emanating from him, it could be judged that he was no ordinary person. Behind the man in the black robe, there was a group of men in black clothes, all of them had cold eyes and held various weapons emitting dark light in their hands.
Yun Yao was startled, but soon calmed down. She clenched her fists tightly to cover up the smell of the spirit pearl and the secret book, and responded fearlessly: "Don't even think about it. This is what we have obtained through hardships. Don't have any wishful thinking."
Chu Mochen slightly turned sideways and whispered to Yun Yao: "These people are not easy to deal with. I will hold them back for a while, and you find a chance to take the treasure and leave."
Yun Yao shook her head and said, "No, we will face it together. I will not abandon you and escape alone."
When the man in black heard Yun Yao's words, he sneered again: "Hmph, you are asking for your own death. Don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the men behind him pounced on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like wolves.
Chu Mochen was the first to meet the enemy. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he rushed into the enemy group in an instant. The long sword was swung, and the sword wind whistled. Each sword carried a powerful spiritual power, forcing the approaching enemies to retreat. But the strength of these men in black should not be underestimated. They cooperated with each other, some cast dark spells to attack, and some took the opportunity to sneak attack.
Yun Yao did not dare to neglect it. She quickly cast a spell shield, and a layer of light blue light enveloped her. At the same time, she began to mobilize her spiritual power to prepare for the enemy's attack. She knew that this battle was extremely difficult, but in order to protect the spirit beads and secret books, for their future, she had to go all out.
As the battle continued, Yun Yao discovered that the attacks of these men in black seemed to have some kind of pattern. They kept changing their attack methods, trying to find the flaws of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao's mind moved, and she began to carefully observe the enemy's attack rhythm, trying to find a way to break through.
During a gap in the enemy's attack, Yun Yao suddenly cast an ice spell, and ice spikes shot towards the enemy like arrows. This sudden attack threw the enemy into disarray, and several men in black were hit by the ice spikes, screaming in pain.
However, the black-robed man snorted when he saw this, and he formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently, and countless black vines emerged from the ground, wrapping around Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like poisonous snakes.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen quickly swung his sword to cut off the approaching vines, but the vines continued to grow, as if endless. Yun Yao cast a fire spell, trying to burn the vines, but these vines seemed to have a strong resistance to fire. The fire could only burn on the surface of the vines and could not completely destroy them.
At this critical moment, Yun Yao suddenly remembered a spiritual power fusion technique that the system had mentioned. She decided to take a risk. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and felt the spiritual power of different attributes in her body. The agility of water, the coldness of ice, the heat of fire, and the vitality of wood, the four spiritual powers slowly flowed in her body.
Yun Yao tried to fuse them together. At first, the spiritual powers repelled each other, causing her meridians to feel a sharp pain. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, constantly adjusting the proportion and trajectory of the spiritual powers. With the secret help of the system, she gradually found a way to fuse them together.
Yun Yao slowly raised her hands, and a swirling spiritual power vortex appeared between her palms. In the vortex, four colors of light intertwined with each other, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. With a light shout from Yun Yao, she pushed the spiritual power vortex towards the enemy.
Wherever the light shone, the black vines were instantly destroyed and turned into powder. The men in black were also knocked to the ground by the powerful energy, and many of them were seriously injured.
The black-robed man's face turned extremely ugly when he saw this scene. He didn't expect Yun Yao to be able to cast such a powerful spell. "Humph, you have some skills. But this is far from enough." The black-robed man roared, and his body suddenly exuded a strong dark aura, which spread like ink and enveloped the entire space.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen suddenly felt a huge pressure coming at them, and their movements became slow. "This is the dark realm. In this realm, my strength will be greatly improved. You just have to accept death." The black-robed man laughed triumphantly.
Yun Yao's heart sank. She knew that she had to break this dark realm as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in dire straits. She exchanged a glance with Chu Mochen and saw a firm determination in his eyes.
"Let's attack his core together. Only by breaking his domain can we survive." Yun Yao said loudly.
Chu Mochen nodded, and he mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and the long sword shone brightly. Yun Yao also concentrated all the remaining spiritual power and prepared to launch the final attack.
In the dark realm, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen approached the black-robed man with difficulty. Every step forward was under tremendous pressure. But they did not give up, and with their tenacious will and deep tacit understanding, they finally arrived in front of the black-robed man.
The two launched attacks at the same time. Chu Mochen's sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea, piercing the black-robed man's chest. Yun Yao then cast a powerful light spell, the light was as dazzling as the sun, and merged with the sword's energy to form an indestructible force.
The black-robed man didn't expect that they could survive in the dark realm and launch such a powerful attack. He widened his eyes in horror. But it was too late to dodge and he could only take the blow head-on.
With a loud bang, the dark realm was instantly shattered, and the black-robed man was pushed back several steps by the powerful force, spurting blood from his mouth. His subordinates saw that their master was injured, and they all gathered around to protect him.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took the opportunity to take a breath. They knew that the battle was far from over. But they also understood that as long as they supported each other and never left each other, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and protect their treasures and future.
