Chapter 135: Danger of the Rune Array

The light of the Rune Array was like the cold gaze of the god of death, scanning Ji Chen and Ceng Yue back and forth.

It was a suffocating sense of pressure, as if countless invisible hands were strangling their throats.

Ji Chen took a deep breath; the air became viscous, every breath like swallowing gravel. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning an unnatural pale white.

"This thing, a bit interesting." Ji Chen muttered to himself, his steady tone revealing a hint of unprecedented gravity.

He stared fixedly at the Rune Array; those constantly changing lines and symbols were like dancing devils, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, wanting to swallow him.

Ceng Yue stood beside him, as cold as ever, but a hint of worry that was hard to detect flashed in her deep eyes.

Ji Chen cautiously released a wisp of Supernatural Ability, trying to touch those flickering runes.

However, the moment the Supernatural Ability made contact, the Rune Array erupted with a dazzling light, followed by an energy shockwave like a roaring giant beast, slamming fiercely into Ji Chen's chest.

Ji Chen grunted, his body involuntarily retreating a few steps, a sharp pain in his chest.

"Damn, this thing even has a rebound?" Ji Chen's lips twitched, feeling the surging blood within him.

Beads of fine sweat began to seep from his forehead; every attempt was like dancing on the tip of a knife. A slight carelessness would invite the ruthless counterattack of the Rune Array.

He tried different methods, trying to find the pattern of the Rune Array's operation. However, those runes seemed to have come alive, constantly changing their arrangement, making people dazzled.

He felt his brain was like a ball of tangled hemp; every wrong attempt would invite even more fierce attacks.

The repressive feeling in the air became increasingly intense, and Ji Chen's sense of frustration gradually increased.

He felt he was like prey trapped on a spiderweb; the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

He gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up just like that; he had more important things to do, and he absolutely could not fall here.

Just then, Ceng Yue suddenly spoke, her voice still cold, but carrying a hint of unquestionable firmness: "Let me try." Her gaze was fixed tightly on the Rune Array.

Ji Chen was stunned, just about to say something, but saw Ceng Yue had already taken steps. Her actions made Ji Chen's heart tighten.

Ceng Yue's slender figure disappeared into the light of the Rune Array, and Ji Chen's heart sank.

He wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Only to see Ceng Yue forming seals with both hands, chanting under her breath, a strange energy fluctuation radiating from her body, echoing with the light of the Rune Array.

"Damn, this woman really has two tricks." Ji Chen muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on Ceng Yue's movements without blinking.

Ceng Yue's energy fluctuation gradually increased, and the light of the Rune Array also became more dazzling, like a supernova about to explode.

Suddenly, Ceng Yue grunted, her face instantly turning pale, her body trembling slightly, as if bearing immense pressure.

Ji Chen's heart tightened, just about to rush up, but saw Ceng Yue open her eyes wide. At the same time, the light of the Rune Array suddenly contracted, finally condensing into a light ball the size of a fist, floating in Ceng Yue's palm.

"It's done?" Ji Chen widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Ceng Yue nodded slightly, handing the light ball in her hand to Ji Chen: "This thing should be the key to controlling the Rune Array."

Ji Chen took the light ball; a warm feeling came from where he touched it, and a strange energy surged into his body along his palm, making him feel his entire body filled with power.

He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the flow of this energy, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

"I understand!" Ji Chen opened his eyes wide, excitement flickering in them. "So that's how it is, the operation pattern of this Rune Array is actually like this!"

He took a deep breath, mobilizing all the Supernatural Ability energy within him, and the light ball in his hand also radiated dazzling light.

He formed seals rapidly with both hands, chanting under his breath, a powerful energy fluctuation radiating from him, echoing with the light of the Rune Array.

The surrounding light became increasingly intense, as if the entire space had become an ocean of light.

Ji Chen felt as if he were in a massive energy vortex, his body constantly absorbing the surrounding energy, and his power constantly increasing.

"Cool!" Ji Chen couldn't help but shout, feeling he had never been so powerful before.

However, just then, the light of the Rune Array suddenly became violent, and a powerful energy shockwave, like a broken dam, swept toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Oh no!" Ji Chen's expression changed, hurriedly releasing all the Supernatural Ability energy within him, forming a protective shield, protecting himself and Ceng Yue within it.

With a loud noise, the energy shockwave slammed fiercely into the protective shield, the protective shield trembling violently, emitting an unbearable creaking sound.

"Hold on!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Ceng Yue also released her Supernatural Ability energy, merging with Ji Chen's energy, jointly resisting the attack of the energy shockwave.

The surrounding space began to distort, emitting bursts of piercing screams.

Just when the Rune Array's most powerful attack was about to arrive, Ji Chen suddenly...

A strange smile appeared on his lips.

Just when the Rune Array's most powerful attack was about to arrive, and the protective shield was about to shatter at the critical moment, Ji Chen suddenly revealed a strange smile on his lips.

He didn't continue to resist, but instead withdrew all his Supernatural Ability, letting the protective shield collapse.

"Damn! What is Old Ji doing? Is he crazy?!" The onlookers watching the battle from afar were all stunned.

Ceng Yue, however, just watched Ji Chen quietly, no panic in her eyes, only full trust.

She knew this guy must be brewing some ultimate move again.

A hint of strange warmth permeated the air, making those guys waiting to watch the show completely confused.

After Ji Chen withdrew his Supernatural Ability, he didn't sit and wait for death, but instead injected his Supernatural Ability energy into the Rune Array continuously.

This operation was simply too slick; everyone was stunned, and the Rune Array also seemed to have crashed, briefly stopping its operation.

"Damn, what kind of slick operation is this kid playing?"

"Is this sending his head? Or does he have some hidden skill?"

"Could this be the legendary... using their own way to treat them?"

Everyone discussed, guessing what medicine Ji Chen was selling in his gourd.

Just then, Ji Chen's Supernatural Ability energy resonated with the Rune Array's energy, and the originally violent Rune Array actually began to calm down slowly, like a wild beast being smoothed, gradually becoming docile.

"It's done!" Ji Chen felt joy in his heart; he had bet right!

The light of the Rune Array gradually converged, and finally, all the energy gathered into a pillar of light, injecting into Ji Chen's body.

Ji Chen felt his body was about to explode, an unprecedented powerful force surging within him.

"Cool! This feeling is simply too awesome!" Ji Chen couldn't help but roar to the sky, the sound shaking the wilderness.

The surrounding Ability Users were all stunned.

They had never seen such powerful strength, one after another kneeling on the ground like elementary school students seeing the principal, shouting: "Greetings, Great God!"

Ji Chen felt the surging power within him, his heart filled with heroic ambition.

He felt he had already stood at the peak of the Ability World, overlooking all living things, looking down on the world!

Just then, a massive crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a portal radiating a mysterious aura slowly opened, as if leading to another world.

Ji Chen looked at the portal in the sky, his lips curling slightly: "A new journey, has begun..." ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
