Chapter 180 What the Hell
Zhuang Yu felt a strong tremor. This mysterious fluctuation did not come from the outside world, but from the restless inherited power within his body.
He knew he could not delay any longer and had to stabilize this force as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and concentrated all his mind on his body. The surrounding noise seemed to disappear instantly, and the world became silent in his eyes.
Wang Yao stood anxiously to the side, but she knew that any disturbance at this moment could bring danger, so she could only silently protect Zhuang Yu.
Xuanjizi and Xiaobing watched from afar, and when they saw Zhuang Yu suddenly enter a meditative state, they both showed puzzled expressions.
"What's this guy up to?" Xiao Bing muttered. "Entering meditation at this time is practically suicide." Xuanjizi narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them. "Perhaps he has other plans..."
Instead of suppressing or channeling this force in the conventional way, Zhuang Yu tried a completely different approach—communication.
He closed his eyes and probed his consciousness into his body, as if diving into the deep sea to touch that violent energy.
The power of inheritance surged within him like a raging dragon trying to break free of its restraints.
Zhuang Yu did not resist, but followed its trajectory, using his consciousness to feel its pulse and understand its essence.
This peculiar behavior further puzzled Xuanjizi and the others.
"What is he doing? Does he want to be devoured by this power?" Xiao Bing's voice was tinged with fear.
Xuanjizi frowned. He couldn't understand Zhuang Yu's behavior either, but his intuition told him that Zhuang Yu was by no means a reckless person.
As Zhuang Yu's consciousness deepened, he sensed that the power of inheritance was not purely destructive, but contained an ancient will, a will that yearned to be understood and guided.
He tentatively extended a hint of goodwill, as if communicating with a wild beast, cautiously approaching it, not wanting to provoke it, but trying to establish a connection with it.
Suddenly, a strong sense of rejection washed over him, and Zhuang Yu let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
But he did not give up; instead, he continued to try with even greater determination.
Just then, an aged yet authoritative voice resounded in his mind: "Who... are you?"
In Zhuang Yu's spiritual world, facing this majestic voice, he calmly replied, "I am Zhuang Yu, the inheritor of the legacy." As his words fell, the originally violent power of the legacy gradually calmed down, as if it had found its home, and gently surrounded him.
Zhuang Yu felt an unprecedented power surge into his body. His spiritual energy instantly became orderly, like rushing rivers that eventually converged into a vast ocean.
He slowly opened his eyes, and golden light burst forth from his body, illuminating the entire space.
Wang Yao covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with delight.
This golden light signifies that Zhuang Yu has completely mastered the power of inheritance!
Seeing this scene from afar, Xuanjizi's face instantly turned ashen.
"Impossible! How could he have stabilized the inheritance so quickly?" He couldn't accept this fact. The inheritance he had been searching for had been taken by an unknown kid.
Jealousy and resentment burned fiercely in his heart. He turned sharply to look at Xiao Bing, who was trembling beside him, and said sternly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and activate the formation!"
Startled, Xiao Bing nodded hurriedly and walked shakily toward the array control panel.
Xuanjizi took a deep breath, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and he chanted incantations. A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body.
At the same time, the guardian spirit of the ruins also sensed the threat. It let out a deafening roar, and its massive body exuded a suffocating pressure that distorted the space itself.
"So what if you've obtained the inheritance? Today, you won't leave here alive!" Xuanjizi roared, and a dazzling light shot out from his hand, heading straight for Zhuang Yu.
The guardian spirit of the ruins followed closely behind, brandishing its enormous claws and charging towards Zhuang Yu with a world-destroying aura.
Xiao Bing hid in the distance, watching this earth-shattering battle, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled with fear.
Faced with this devastating attack, Zhuang Yu simply smiled.
"A mere trifle." He slowly raised his hand, golden light gathering at his fingertips...
Golden light condensed into a lightsaber at Zhuang Yu's fingertips, the blade radiating a chilling aura.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a golden sword aura ripped through the space, instantly shattering Xuanjizi's attack.
The sword energy continued its relentless advance, heading straight for Xuanjizi.
Xuanjizi's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly summoned his defensive magic weapon, but it was as fragile as paper and easily torn apart by the sword energy.
He screamed in agony as he was blasted away by the sword energy, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
At the same time, the guardian spirit of the ruins roared and charged towards Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and with a swift motion, a golden sword aura slashed towards the guardian spirit like a bolt of lightning.
The guardian spirit's massive body was cleaved in two by this sword strike, letting out a shrill scream before dissipating into starlight.
Seeing this from a distance, Xiao Bing was terrified and collapsed to the ground, trembling with fear.
He never imagined that the incredibly powerful guardian spirit of the ruins would be so easily killed by Zhuang Yu.
Xuanjizi struggled to get up from the ground, his face as pale as paper. "Impossible...this is impossible..." he muttered to himself, unable to believe that he had been defeated so completely.
Zhuang Yu slowly walked up to Xuanjizi, looking down at him without a trace of pity in his eyes.
"You've lost." His voice was as cold as frost, like the pronouncement of death.
Xuanjizi trembled all over. He wanted to resist, but found that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
He could only watch helplessly as Zhuang Yu...
Zhuang Yu ignored Xuanjizi and turned to walk towards Wang Yao.
At this moment, his spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and his body was swaying precariously.
Seeing this, Wang Yao quickly stepped forward to support him, "Zhuang Yu, are you alright?"
Zhuang Yu forced a smile. "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Wang Yao helped Zhuang Yu, and the two slowly walked deeper into the ruins.
Zhuang Yu looked at Wang Yao, his eyes filled with gratitude and love...
“Yao’er,” he said softly, “we…”
Zhuang Yu looked at Wang Yao, his eyes filled with gratitude and love.
After the danger passed, an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere permeated the two of them.
He gently took Wang Yao's hand in his, its surface soft and delicate to the touch, like the finest mutton fat jade.
A blush rose to Wang Yao's cheeks, and her heart pounded like a deer's.
She secretly glanced at Zhuang Yu, and their eyes met. A jolt of electricity instantly ran through her body.
"Yao'er," Zhuang Yu said softly, "thank you for always being by my side."
Wang Yao nodded gently, her eyes slightly reddening.
She knew that without Wang Yao, he might have already perished here.
"From now on, I will never put you in danger again." Zhuang Yu's tone was firm and powerful, as if he were making a promise.
A sweet smile appeared on Wang Yao's lips. She gripped Zhuang Yu's hand tightly, as if she wanted to hold onto this warmth forever.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
After stabilizing the power of inheritance, Zhuang Yu felt an unprecedented surge of strength.
His body was filled with abundant spiritual energy, as if he possessed inexhaustible power.
He began to think about his next target—the Spirit Crystal Mine.
He knew that the spirit crystal vein contained a large amount of spirit crystals, which was the key to improving his cultivation.
"Yao'er, let's go to the spirit crystal mine," Zhuang Yu said, his tone tinged with excitement.
Wang Yao nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.
She knew that with the spirit crystal, Zhuang Yu's cultivation would reach a higher level, and they would be one step closer to their ultimate goal.
Zhuang Yu led Wang Yao, following the signs within the ruins, towards the spirit crystal mine.
They proceeded cautiously, remaining vigilant about everything around them.
The ruins are fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a huge stone gate.
The stone gate is carved with intricate runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Zhuang Yu knew that behind this stone door was the entrance to the spirit crystal mine.
He took a deep breath, placed his hand on the stone door, and slowly infused it with spiritual energy.
The runes on the stone gate began to glow, and a powerful force surged out from the stone gate, as if to devour them.
"Are you ready?" Zhuang Yu turned to look at Wang Yao, his eyes filled with a hint of seriousness.
Wang Yao nodded and held Zhuang Yu's hand tightly.
Zhuang Yu exerted force, and the stone door slowly opened, releasing a blast of bone-chilling cold air...
