Chapter 296
In an instant, a dazzling light bloomed in the secret room. The light contained powerful spiritual energy fluctuations and spread out in all directions.
The walls of the secret room began to crack under the impact of this wave, and stones began to fall.
The Spirit Bird was blown away by the force and crashed heavily into the wall, letting out a mournful cry. The Spiritual Resonance Stone also shook and crumbled, its light flickering.
Lan Yunyan was in the center of the light, her body suspended in the air, her hair moving without wind.
Her face was full of pain and determination. She muttered to herself and kept adjusting the power of the spiritual power vortex, trying to break through the blockade of the spiritual power.
At this moment, she was locked in a stalemate battle with the spiritual power. The powers of both sides pulled and collided with each other in her body. Every collision caused her body to suffer great pain, but she never gave up.
Outside Lingxu Valley, clouds began to gather in the sky, and the originally clear sky became gloomy.
The spiritual plants and beasts in the valley felt the powerful force coming from the secret room. They huddled in their nests or habitats, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
Some weak spiritual plants even began to wither, as if their vitality had been drained away.
Lan Yunyan's battle in the secret room continued. She knew that she had reached her limit, but she still persisted.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping to find a glimmer of hope, a chance to completely defeat the backlash of the spiritual source.
In the fierce collision of light and power, Lan Yunyan felt as if her mind was placed at the center of a storm.
Her consciousness swung back and forth between pain and determination, and every breath felt like pulling at a lifeline that was about to break.
The power of the spiritual source was like an enraged prehistoric beast. It continuously released surging waves of dark energy, impacting Lan Yunyan's spiritual power vortex.
Inside Lan Yunyan's body, the meridians seemed to be pierced by countless red-hot iron bars, and every inch of flesh and blood groaned in pain under the crushing force.
Her lips had been bitten, and blood mixed with sweat slid down her chin and dripped into the pool of blood at her feet. The originally smooth ground was now stained bright red.
Despite this, Lan Yunyan's eyes grew more resolute. She kept recalling every detail of her past cultivation, and the hardships and obstacles she had overcome became the source of her current strength.
She poured all her love for Lingxu Valley and her determination to protect this land into the gradually shrinking vortex of spiritual power.
The spiritual energy fluctuations in the secret room had reached an extremely terrifying level. The surrounding walls began to collapse on a large scale, and rocks fell like raindrops.
The Spirit Bird struggled in the corner, trying to fly again, but was repeatedly suppressed by the powerful aftermath of the spiritual energy. The light of the Spirit Stone also began to flicker, as if it would go out at any moment.
Outside Lingxu Valley, the dark clouds in the sky grew denser and denser, like a black mountain about to collapse.
The imbalance of spiritual power in the valley triggered a series of chain reactions. Some ancient spiritual trees began to shake violently, and their branches and leaves fell off one after another, as if lamenting for Lan Yunyan's fate.
The water in the Spirit Lake also caused huge waves. The originally calm lake surface now looked like a pot of boiling water. The water splashed onto the shore and submerged a large area of spiritual grass.
Lan Yunyan knew she couldn't continue in this stalemate. She had to make a bold decision.
During a break in the attack of spiritual power, she resolutely separated a strand of her soul power and injected it into the vortex of spiritual power.
This was an extremely dangerous practice. Once her soul power was damaged, she might be doomed. But at this moment, she had no other choice.
As the soul power was injected, the spiritual power vortex instantly erupted with a powerful suction force. It began to frantically devour the spiritual power, like a bottomless black hole.
The spiritual power sensed the danger and began to struggle desperately. It rushed around in Lan Yunyan's body, trying to break free from the suction.
Lan Yunyan's body suddenly felt like it was hit by countless shells. Her bones made crisp sounds and seemed like they would break at any time.
However, Lan Yunyan held on with her tenacious perseverance. Her soul seemed to be burning in a raging fire, and every pain made her more aware of her mission.
Under her control, the vortex of spiritual power gradually compressed and swallowed the spiritual power bit by bit.
At this critical moment, a melodious bell sound suddenly rang out from the depths of Lingxu Valley. This bell sound seemed to contain some mysterious power, penetrating the walls of the secret room and reaching Lan Yunyan's ears.
Lan Yunyan's heart stirred. She felt as if the bell's sound was giving her some kind of support. She quickly adjusted the fluctuations of her spiritual power to match the frequency of the bell.
Under the blessing of the bell, the power of the spiritual energy vortex suddenly increased. It devoured all the remaining spiritual energy with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the spiritual power storm in Lan Yunyan's body subsided, and her body slowly fell from the air.
At this moment, her body was covered with scars and blood, but her eyes were filled with joy and relief.
She successfully survived this life-and-death crisis, and during this ordeal, her spiritual power was sublimated to an unprecedented level.
The bird flapped its wings and flew to her side, rubbing her cheek affectionately.
The Lingxi Stone also regained its bright luster and floated quietly beside her. Lan Yunyan gently stroked the feathers of the Lingque, a tired but happy smile on her face.
She knew that her fate with Lingxu Valley was far from over. This crisis was just a test on her path of cultivation, and there were more challenges waiting for her in the future.
She stood up and looked at the mess after the collapse of the secret room. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must restore Lingxu Valley to its original state and make herself stronger to protect this land she loved and all the living things here.
In the following days, Lan Yunyan began to retreat to heal her injuries.
