Chapter 147: Breaking Through the Darkness

The darkness was like a giant beast waiting to devour people, opening its gaping maw to swallow Ji Chen and Ceng Yue whole.

The two stood back-to-back, feeling each other's body temperature; this life-and-death moment actually brought their hearts closer together.

"Want to swallow us? Not a chance!" Ji Chen roared, his eyes igniting with fierce fighting spirit; his internal Supernatural Ability ran crazily, and waves of powerful force surged through his whole body.

Although Ceng Yue did not speak, icy energy began to surge around her body, as if she wanted to freeze this darkness.

"Boom—" The Dark Power attacked again, like thousands of sharp blades, slashing hard toward the two.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue dared not take it head-on, only able to dodge constantly, every dodge being thrillingly dangerous.

The space was torn to pieces by the Dark Power, everything around them distorted and deformed, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The Dark Power's offensive became more and more violent, every attack carrying the power to destroy the heavens and earth, as if wanting to grind the two into dust.

"Is this Dark Power cheating? So fierce?" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, bearing the immense pressure, his body swaying slightly.

Ceng Yue's situation was not optimistic either; her cold and beautiful face also showed a hint of solemnity, but her eyes were even firmer, and the icy energy in her hands became increasingly strong.

The Dark Power was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, chasing relentlessly, constantly devouring the surrounding light, the entire space completely plunged into pitch-black darkness, unable to see one's own fingers, causing a suffocating pressure.

The massive black tentacle twisted like a python, lashing out toward the two again.

"Damn, is this thing on steroids? It's endless!" Ji Chen dodged the tentacle's lash and couldn't help but curse.

"Less talk, focus!" Ceng Yue reminded coldly; she could feel that this Dark Power seemed to have become even more powerful, and they could no longer deal with it as easily as before.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging energy in his body.

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt a familiar force stirring in his body; it was the power of the Rune!

"Old partner, it seems it's your turn to play." He muttered to himself in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ceng Yue's cold eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and she was about to ask, but saw Ji Chen close his eyes, his aura changing.

Ji Chen's eyes opened suddenly, golden Runes moving around his body like living things, radiating dazzling light.

At the same time, Ceng Yue also felt a powerful force pouring into her body; her originally icy energy became purer and more powerful.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Finally here! My Golden Finger!" Ji Chen shouted excitedly, feeling the surging power in his body, an unprecedented sense of achievement welling up.

"Let this broken darkness see how powerful your grandpa is!"

The golden Rune light shone everywhere; wherever it went, the Dark Power melted like ice and snow, making sizzling sounds.

The Dark Power seemed to sense the threat and began to counterattack crazily, but everything was in vain.

"Ceng Yue, let's go together!" Ji Chen shouted, charging first toward the center of the Dark Power.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind; the two were like two bolts of lightning, piercing through the darkness and heading straight for the core of the Dark Power.

Their attacks poured down like a storm, the sound of "bang bang bang" energy collisions ringing out endlessly.

The surrounding energy fluctuations were as surging as a tsunami, the entire space shaking violently.

Under their fierce attack, the Dark Power retreated steadily, letting out miserable hisses, as if making a final struggle.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue had no mercy; they knew that only by completely eliminating this Dark Power could they protect everything they wanted to protect.

"Is that all you've got? Daring to come out and embarrass yourself!" Ji Chen mocked, his attacks becoming even fiercer.

"End it!" Ceng Yue said coldly; the icy energy in her hand turned into a massive ice sword, stabbing hard toward the core of the Dark Power...

"Wait... don't kill me, I can surrender!" The voice from the Dark Core carried a hint of trembling, no longer having the arrogant and domineering appearance from before.

"Yo, this guy actually wants to surrender? What were you doing earlier?" Ji Chen raised an eyebrow, but his offensive did not diminish at all.

He turned to look at Ceng Yue; their eyes met, and without needing words, they already understood each other.

This tacit understanding was even better than an old married couple, the "dog food" almost overflowing.

The corners of Ceng Yue's mouth lifted slightly, the coldness in her eyes melting a bit; the ice sword in her hand condensed again, radiating a chilling light that made one's heart tremble.

She nodded slightly at Ji Chen, and both exerted force at the same time.

"The magic of love spins around! No, it's the explosion of the power of love!" Ji Chen laughed, the golden Runes on his body like living little elves, crazily surging toward the Dark Power.

Ceng Yue's ice sword followed, carrying extreme chill, stabbing hard into the Dark Core.

"Boom—" A deafening loud noise, the entire space shaking violently.

Under their joint attack, the Dark Power completely collapsed, turning into nothingness.

Dazzling light surged in like a tide, dispelling all the darkness and illuminating the world once again.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood in the center of the light, like gods descending, radiating a powerful aura that commanded awe.

Everything around them quieted down, as if submitting to their power.

Ji Chen looked up, feeling the surging power in his body, his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of achievement.

"This feeling is absolutely exhilarating!" He couldn't help but shout.

Ceng Yue walked to Ji Chen's side, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth; although this smile was very light, it made Ji Chen feel a warmth in his heart.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with love and trust; this feeling was more powerful than any force.

Just as the two were enjoying the joy of victory, Ji Chen suddenly felt something strange in the sky.

He looked up and saw a massive portal appearing in the sky, from which a strange black aura radiated, somewhat similar to the Dark Power that had just been eliminated, but even more unsettling.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at the mysterious portal in the sky, the joy in their hearts instantly replaced by curiosity and vigilance. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
