Chapter 132: Dark Truth Finally Revealed, Climax Begins
Thick darkness rolled like ink in the depths of the Nether Valley, swallowing up all light.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan held hands and stepped cautiously into this unknown area.
Li Yuan habitually wanted to say something, but Bi Yao gently pinched his hand, signaling him to be silent.
The air was filled with a suffocating feeling of oppression. Bi Yao keenly felt that the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around her were abnormally chaotic, as if suppressed by an invisible force. Even the circulation of the spiritual energy in her body became sluggish.
"Something... isn't right here." Bi Yao whispered, his voice sounding a little vague in the thick fog.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to distort and change. The originally straight road turned into a maze-like intricate passage, extending into endless darkness.
Li Yuan took a breath of cold air. This sudden change made him feel uneasy.
"Be careful!" Bi Yao grabbed Li Yuan and narrowly avoided the trap that suddenly appeared under his feet.
The trap was bottomless and emitted a disgusting stench.
"It seems we have mistakenly entered the dark maze." Bi Yao's face was solemn. She tried to mobilize her spiritual power, but found that the suppression here was far stronger than she had imagined. Even simple flying was difficult to achieve.
"The rules here are different from the outside world."
Li Yuan also tried to mobilize his spiritual power, and the result was the same as Bi Yao's.
His brows were furrowed. Although he was always optimistic, he felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.
"We have to find a way out. This is not a solution."
They moved cautiously along the passages of the maze, each step being like walking on thin ice.
The maze is full of mechanisms and traps that are hard to guard against.
Sometimes it is a sudden hidden arrow, sometimes it is the sudden collapse of the ground under their feet, and sometimes it is an illusion that appears out of nowhere, luring them into a dead end.
Li Yuan was nearly caught several times, but was saved thanks to Bi Yao's quick reaction.
However, as time went on, the two of them consumed more and more spiritual energy, and even simple walking began to become difficult.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Bi Yao's forehead and his breathing became rapid.
Just then, she noticed some strange patterns on the walls of the maze...
"Li Yuan," Bi Yao pointed at the patterns on the wall, a hint of subtle excitement in her tone, "Look..."
Li Yuan took a closer look and found that the patterns on the wall were not random but some ancient characters that emitted a faint fluorescence.
Bi Yao carefully read the words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
"I know!" she shouted excitedly. "These words record the operating rules of the maze! As long as we follow the instructions, we can find the exit!"
Bi Yao relied on modern logical thinking and the ability to interpret ancient texts to quickly crack the secret of the maze.
She pulled Li Yuan and followed the instructions in the text to navigate through the maze.
The originally complicated passage became clear under Bi Yao's guidance.
They cleverly avoided all the traps and mechanisms, and their speed increased.
Finally, after turning the last corner, they saw the exit - a stone door that was shining with a faint blue light.
When they pushed open the stone door, dazzling light instantly shone in, and they subconsciously covered their eyes.
After they adjusted to the light, the sight before them made them gasp.
In front of them was a huge empty hall. In the center of the hall was a huge black crystal suspended, emitting a heart-pounding dark energy.
The surface of the crystal was covered with strange runes, as if countless eyes were watching them.
There is no doubt that this is the core of the dark power!
Just as they were observing the dark crystal, the crystal suddenly burst out with strong light, and a black shield instantly covered the entire hall.
At the same time, countless dark puppets emerged from the ground, emitting sharp roars and rushing towards them.
"Be careful!" Bi Yao pushed Li Yuan away and avoided the oncoming attack.
The dark puppet has a hideous face, moves swiftly, and emits a disgusting stench.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, each using their magic weapon to engage in a fierce battle with the dark puppet.
Bi Yao's swordsmanship was light and graceful. In a flash of sword light, he chopped several puppets into pieces.
Li Yuan held a long spear in his hand, and his spear movements were powerful and heavy, and each strike was as powerful as thunder.
They cooperated well and covered each other, like two whirlwinds, shuttling through the group of puppets.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the number of dark puppets seemed endless.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan's spiritual energy was greatly consumed, and their movements began to become slow.
A puppet took advantage of Li Yuan's unpreparedness and attacked him with its sharp claws...
"Li Yuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed, and flew towards Li Yuan...
Bi Yao desperately stood in front of Li Yuan, and the sharp claws scratched a deep wound on her arm that was visible to the bone.
The intense pain made Bi Yao groan, but she did not retreat at all. Instead, she gripped the sword in her hand even more firmly.
"Yaoyao!" Li Yuan's eyes were bloodshot. He waved his spear, knocked away the puppet that attacked Bi Yao, and then quickly protected her behind him.
"Are you okay?" he asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly.
Bi Yao shook her head, trying to endure the pain and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
Li Yuan looked at the wound on Bi Yao's arm with heartache, his eyes full of self-blame.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."
"Don't be silly," Bi Yao interrupted him, "We are in this together, and we have to face this together."
Seeing Bi Yao's determined eyes, Li Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He held Bi Yao's hand tightly and said, "Yaoyao, I will definitely protect you!"
Bi Yao looked at Li Yuan, her eyes full of emotion and love.
She suddenly remembered the magic weapon she got from the treasure - the magic-breaking mirror.
It is said that this mirror can reflect all dark forces and may be used to break the dark shield!
"Li Yuan, I have an idea!" Bi Yao said excitedly, "Let's use the Magic Mirror!"
The two of them quickly took out the Demon-Breaking Mirror and worked together to inject spiritual power into it.
The Demon-Breaking Mirror emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful energy beam shot towards the Dark Shield.
The shield vibrated violently and finally shattered!
The Dark Crystal lost the protection of its shield and was exposed to them.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination.
"Now!" Bi Yao shouted.
The two of them cast their strongest spells at the same time. The two rays of light intertwined together and turned into a huge beam of light, which hit the dark crystal hard.
The dark crystal let out a shrill wail, then exploded, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the air.
The dark power dissipated instantly, and the entire hall was restored to light.
Outside the Nether Valley, all the immortal cultivators felt a powerful fluctuation of power. They all looked up in the direction of the Nether Valley, their eyes filled with expectation and hope.
When the light shines on the earth again, cheers resound through the sky.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood side by side in the center of the hall, bathed in the light, like gods descending from heaven.
"We... did it..." Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao, his voice a little hoarse.
Bi Yao smiled and nodded, and suddenly felt a strong spiritual power surge from all directions...
She looked up at the sky and murmured, "What... is going on..."
Powerful spiritual energy surged into Bi Yao and Li Yuan's bodies like a tide, cleansing their meridians and elevating their realm.
The two people who were already gifted were now like butterflies emerging from their cocoons, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Bi Yao felt that his body was filled with unprecedented power, and he could even feel the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Li Yuan also benefited greatly. He felt as if he had become one with the whole world, and his words were as powerful as the law.
The rulers of the fairy world gathered together and held a grand celebration banquet for Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
They were awarded the title of "Guardian", which is the highest honor in the world of immortals and heroes, symbolizing supreme status and power.
They were surrounded by flowers and applause, and words of praise and admiration were heard everywhere.
Bi Yao remained calm, while Li Yuan excitedly held Bi Yao's hand and talked incessantly about his feelings, as if he had endless words to say.
After the celebration banquet, Bi Yao and Li Yuan strolled under the starry night sky.
"Yaoyao," Li Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Bi Yao affectionately, "We finally did it."
Bi Yao nodded gently, with a happy light in her eyes.
"Yeah, we did it together."
"From now on, we can be together forever." Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his tone full of determination.
Bi Yao snuggled in Li Yuan's arms, feeling his warmth and love.
At this moment, she felt extremely satisfied and happy.
However, beneath the calm surface, a sense of uneasiness spread in Bi Yao's heart.
She knew that although peace had temporarily returned to the world of immortals, the crisis had not been truly resolved.
Although the source of the dark power has been destroyed, who can guarantee that new dark forces will not rise?
"Li Yuan," Bi Yao raised her head and looked at Li Yuan with a firm gaze, "We cannot let our guard down. We must continue to improve our strength and prepare for future challenges."
Li Yuan also put away his smile and nodded solemnly.
"You're right, Yaoyao. We can't take this lightly."
In the following days, Bi Yao and Li Yuan began to practice diligently and explore new ways to improve their strength.
They traveled to famous mountains and rivers, searching for legendary secrets and treasures, constantly challenging their limits.
One day, they discovered a mysterious stone tablet in an ancient ruin.
The stone tablet is engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
"What is this?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
Bi Yao carefully observed the runes on the stone tablet with a frown.
"These runes... I seem to have seen them somewhere..."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Bi Yao's mind.
She raised her head sharply, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"I understand! These runes... are records of ancient divine writings! They record a shocking secret..."
Bi Yao's voice suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Li Yuan, her expression becoming extremely solemn.
"Li Yuan, we might be in big trouble..."
