Chapter 188: Breaking the Ban, Peak of Glory
Chapter 188: Breaking the Ban, Peak of Glory
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood in front of the monster's core energy source. The barrier with flashing complex runes was like a natural barrier, blocking their way.
The forbidden light flickered, reflecting on the serious faces of the two men and also on their tightly grasped weapons.
The air around seemed to freeze, the oppressive feeling was suffocating, and the monster's roar and heavy footsteps echoed in the space like a death-prompting drumbeat.
The runes on the ban twisted like tadpoles, flashing with a faint blue light and emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
Bi Yao narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the arrangement and changing patterns of the runes, trying to find a way to crack them.
She stretched out her finger and gently touched the restriction. She felt an icy cold sensation at her fingertips, as if she had touched ten thousand years of ice.
Li Yuan paced back and forth, sometimes looking up at the restriction, sometimes looking down in thought. His slender fingers kept tapping the jade pendant on his waist, making crisp sounds, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
As time passed, the monster's attacks became more and more fierce. The deafening roars and the sound of sharp claws cutting through the air were intertwined, which was terrifying.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan had to devote some of their energy to avoiding the monsters' attacks, which made it more difficult for them to break the ban.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, their breathing became rapid, and their physical fatigue gradually increased, but they did not give up, and there was still a determined light in their eyes.
The light around was getting dimmer and dimmer, as if darkness was about to swallow everything.
The monster's shadow looked particularly hideous under the flickering forbidden light, like a demon from hell.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, each of them able to feel the tension emanating from the other.
"We can't go on like this," Li Yuan's low voice broke the silence, "We must find a way to break the ban as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, Bi Yao suddenly grabbed his arm, staring intently at a rune on the restriction, and whispered, "Wait, I think I thought of something..."
Bi Yao's "Li Yuan, look at the arrangement of these runes. Does it look like some kind of energy circuit? If we can change the flow of energy..."
Li Yuan frowned and shook his head, saying, "Yao'er, this is an ancient restriction. How can you break it with your mortal tricks? We should look for more orthodox immortal methods, such as..." He began to talk incessantly about various ancient methods of breaking the restriction, from the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams to the Qimen Dunjia, which made Bi Yao feel overwhelmed.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Bi Yao interrupted him, "What time is it now? You are still showing off your knowledge! We have tried those methods, are they useful?" The roar of the monster was getting closer and closer, shaking the ground slightly, as if it would break through the obstacles and tear them into pieces in the next second.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
Li Yuan wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Bi Yao: "Believe me, I have a way!" Her tone was firm and confident, which made Li Yuan calm down involuntarily.
The light around was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the forbidden light was becoming flickering, as if it would go out at any time.
The monster's roar, Li Yuan's rapid breathing, and Bi Yao's heartbeat intertwined into a chaotic symphony.
Suddenly, Bi Yao had a flash of inspiration and a bold idea came to his mind.
What if we combine the energy conversion principles of modern science with the formations of the fairy world?
"Li Yuan," she said eagerly, "I've got it! We can input spiritual energy into the restriction at a specific frequency and change the direction of energy flow, just like..." She quickly drew a complex pattern in the air with her fingers, "Like this!"
Li Yuan was stunned at first, and then the air around him seemed to change slightly because of this new idea. A faint light shone through the restriction, like the dawn of hope.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other, excitement glittering in their eyes.
Li Yuan grabbed Bi Yao's hand and said excitedly, "Yao'er, let's try it!"
Bi Yao took a deep breath and injected spiritual power into the restriction at the frequency she had imagined.
Li Yuan followed closely behind, and the two cooperated with each other tacitly. Their spiritual powers were like two swimming dragons, intertwining and entwining, outlining a mysterious trajectory on the restriction.
The runes on the ban began to vibrate violently, the light flickered, and a buzzing sound was emitted, as if it would collapse at any time.
The monster sensed the change and roared even more crazily, attacking even more fiercely.
But Bi Yao and Li Yuan were already immersed in the process of breaking the ban and turned a deaf ear to the interference from the outside world.
Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the deadlock, and the runes on the ban shattered into pieces like broken mirrors, emitting dazzling light.
The ban disappeared!
Bi Yao and Li Yuan had no time to celebrate. They immediately concentrated all their spiritual power on their weapons and launched a fatal attack on the monster's core energy source.
A golden light and a blue light intertwined, like two giant dragons, slamming fiercely into the monster's core energy source.
The monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body collapsed, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.
Silence. After a moment of silence, deafening cheers resounded through the world.
The immortal cultivators rushed forward and surrounded Bi Yao and Li Yuan. Bi Yao and Li Yuan smiled at each other, and an indescribable joy surged in their hearts.
In the following days, the names of Bi Yao and Li Yuan spread throughout the world of immortal heroes.
They became legends and heroes.
Countless invitations came in, inviting them to share their experiences and insights.
They stand at the top of the world, receiving everyone's admiration and enjoying unprecedented glory and gifts.
The magnificent palace, the feast of delicacies, the exquisite and gorgeous clothes, all of these made them feel a little unreal, yet extremely satisfied.
Just as they were immersed in this glory, a mysterious messenger in a black cloak appeared silently before them.
The messenger handed over a gilded letter and spoke in a deep voice as if from the depths of hell: "My two masters, my king invites you to the Abyss of the Netherworld."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan took the letter, unfolded it, and saw only four words written on it: Abyss of the Netherworld.
The two looked at each other, feeling a sense of inexplicable unease.
The Abyss of the Netherworld is a mysterious realm that no one has ever set foot on and is full of unknown dangers.
"When do we leave?" Li Yuan asked.
The messenger slowly raised his head, revealing his pale face hidden under his cloak, and said in a hoarse voice: "Depart immediately."
