Chapter 125 You've Encountered a Little Trouble
Zhuang Yu stood before the massive barrier, his gaze piercing as if he wanted to see through this seemingly indestructible curtain of light.
He reached out and lightly touched the barrier with his fingertips. A powerful energy surge instantly flowed into his body, making his arm slightly numb.
The barrier's surface was as smooth as a mirror, radiating a soft yet oppressive light, as if mocking all his efforts.
Standing behind Zhuang Yu, Wang Yao looked at his furrowed brows and felt a deep sense of worry.
She knew that this barrier was probably the most crucial secret of the entire space, and also the final test of whether they could truly control this space.
She looked around, trying to find any clues that could help Zhuang Yu, but all she could see was emptiness; there was nothing there except for the barrier.
A heavy atmosphere filled the air, making even breathing difficult.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and gradually calmed the surging spiritual energy within his body.
Instead of making reckless attempts, he focused his attention on the texture of the barrier.
The intersecting rays of light, seemingly random, subtly reveal a certain pattern.
He observed them carefully, trying to find the connection between them, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a breakthrough.
Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat began to appear on Zhuang Yu's forehead. He could feel the depletion of his spiritual energy and an increasingly intense sense of anxiety.
He tried to attack the barrier with his spiritual power, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea—completely ineffective.
He tried to break through it using various techniques, but all his efforts were in vain, and the barrier remained unbreakable.
He even tried to force his way through with brute force, but the powerful recoil nearly injured him.
"Is there really no way out?" Zhuang Yu murmured, a hint of resentment in his voice.
He felt he was only one step away from unlocking the secrets of space, but that last step became an insurmountable chasm.
His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
There seemed to be an invisible struggle between him and this barrier, filling his heart with a sense of urgency.
Just when Zhuang Yu was feeling desperate, a clear laugh suddenly rang in his ears.
He looked up abruptly and saw a familiar figure standing not far away, smiling at him with a mischievous glint in his bright eyes.
"It seems you've run into a little trouble," the figure said, her voice clear and melodious.
Zhuang Yu looked up and saw the spatial intelligence sprite wink playfully.
She floated lightly to the barrier, her slender fingers tracing a faint glow on the smooth surface.
“You’re just too impatient,” the elf’s voice was as melodious as a clear spring. “This barrier cannot be broken by brute force, but requires specific incantations and spiritual resonance.”
Zhuang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this, and a burning flame of hope ignited in his eyes.
"Please enlighten me, elf!" he said, bowing respectfully.
The elf smiled sweetly, extended her jade finger, and pointed to an inconspicuous pattern on the barrier.
"See this? This is the 'Celestial Pivot,' the hub of the entire barrier. You and your companions need to infuse your spiritual power into it and guide it with the 'Yin-Yang Unity' incantation to open the barrier."
Zhuang Yu turned to look at Wang Yao, who understood his meaning and nodded solemnly.
The two stood side by side, and following the elf's instructions, placed their palms on the Heavenly Pivot.
Zhuang Yu felt the warmth of Wang Yao's palm, and a gentle spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body, merging with his violent spiritual energy.
The two completely different spiritual energies, Yin and Yang, collided and merged within their bodies, creating a wondrous resonance.
The surrounding space began to shimmer with multicolored light, and a peculiar energy fluctuation permeated the air.
However, just as they were about to succeed, a powerful repulsive force suddenly appeared, forcefully repelling their spiritual power.
"What happened?" Zhuang Yu groaned, his face pale.
"It seems your spiritual energy fusion is not perfect yet." The elf's voice carried a hint of worry. "The unity of Yin and Yang requires balance and harmony. The slightest deviation will lead to failure."
Wang Yao took a deep breath, her eyes resolute. "Again!"
Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
They placed their palms on the Tian Shu point again, this time being more careful and cautious, controlling the output of spiritual energy and trying to find the balance between Yin and Yang.
The surrounding space flickered even more violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat kept sliding down their foreheads.
"Stay calm!" Zhuang Yu roared, his spiritual energy surging wildly within him as he struggled to maintain his balance.
Wang Yao gritted her teeth and continuously poured the spiritual energy within her body into Tian Shu.
The two seemed to merge into one, working together to resist the powerful repulsive force.
"Just a little bit more..." the elf's voice was filled with tension, "Hold on!"
Suddenly, Wang Yao let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Wang Yao!" Zhuang Yu exclaimed.
Wang Yao smiled weakly, "I'm fine... Continue..."
The elf's expression turned grave. "This is bad! Her spiritual energy is about to run out!"
"I'll do it!" Zhuang Yu suddenly unleashed all the spiritual power within his body, and a powerful energy surge erupted instantly...
"boom!"
Zhuang Yu's spiritual power surged out like a burst dam, carrying overwhelming force, and crashed fiercely against the barrier.
With a crisp cracking sound, a tiny crack finally appeared on the barrier, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
Zhuang Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He sensed that the barrier's defense was rapidly weakening, and he knew he couldn't miss this opportunity!
He roared and increased his spiritual power output once again.
The violent energy pounded against the barrier, and the cracks, like ripped wounds, rapidly expanded, weaving into a shocking pattern.
With a loud "bang!", as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the barrier finally gave way and shattered completely.
The shattered light, like thousands of sharp arrows, scattered and illuminated the entire space.
Zhuang Yu felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, and an indescribable powerful force rushed towards him, causing his robes to flutter and his long hair to dance wildly.
He succeeded!
He finally broke through this seemingly indestructible barrier!
An overwhelming joy welled up inside him; he felt his soul trembling, his blood boiling, and his ambition soaring to the heavens.
Looking at everything before her, Wang Yao smiled with relief, a trace of blood still clinging to the corner of her eye, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.
She looked at Zhuang Yu quietly, her eyes filled with pride and joy, and she was incredibly proud of his achievements.
She knew that he would go further and further down this path and eventually become a true powerhouse.
After the barrier shattered, a completely new world unfolded before Zhuang Yu.
It was no longer an empty void, but a galaxy composed of countless points of light, its dazzling brilliance like a dream, mesmerizing and enchanting.
At the center of the galaxy, a huge ball of light was radiating a dazzling light. That powerful and pure energy was the energy source of space. It beat rhythmically like a giant heart, emitting deep rumbling sounds that shook the soul.
The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance, as if one were in a fairyland.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath. The pure spiritual energy permeating the air made him feel every pore on his body open up, and the spiritual energy within his body began to pulsate excitedly.
He walked slowly toward the source of power, each step firm and powerful, as if walking on a road leading to the summit.
The surrounding lights seemed to be drawn by his steps, swirling and dancing around him as if cheering for him.
Wang Yao stared at Zhuang Yu's back. Zhuang Yu seemed to sense something as well, his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. He stopped in front of the source of power, stretched out his hands, and slowly closed his eyes.
“Finally…” he murmured to himself, his voice filled with an undisguised anticipation.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and slowly channeled the energy from the source of power into his body.
A pure and powerful energy surged into his meridians like a tidal wave, rampaging through his body.
He felt as if his body was about to be burst by this powerful energy, and his meridians were being torn apart by waves of pain.
He gritted his teeth, struggling to control the raging energy and guide it along a specific path.
As time went by, the energy within Zhuang Yu's body gradually stabilized and began to merge with his own spiritual power.
He felt his strength increasing at an astonishing rate: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul...
The barriers between different realms were like paper in front of him, crumbling at the slightest touch.
His body was enveloped in a dazzling light, which grew brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire space.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the light emanating from Zhuang Yu suddenly receded, and he slowly opened his eyes, which shone with a sharp light.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
He succeeded!
He absorbed the energy from the power source, and his strength was enhanced like never before!
Just as Zhuang Yu was immersed in joy, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the depths of space.
The fluctuation was very faint, but it clearly reached his senses.
A thought struck him, and he looked in the direction from which the fluctuations came. He saw a tiny crack appear at the edge of space, and on the other side of the crack, it seemed to connect to another world.
Zhuang Yu wondered what this mysterious space was.
Why did it come into contact with the outside world?
He reached out and gently touched the crack with his fingertips, and a strange sensation instantly spread throughout his body.
He felt a strange connection between himself and the outside world, as if he could cross the rift and return to his original world at any time if he wanted to.
"This is..." Zhuang Yu murmured to himself. He felt a powerful force coming from the other side of the crack. This force was so familiar, yet so strange.
He had a vague premonition that the appearance of this crack would completely change his fate.
"Someone is calling me..."
