Chapter 156: Breaking the Supernatural Ability

Black light surged like a tide, the surrounding space twisting like a world in a funhouse mirror, buildings deforming like melting candles.

A powerful pressure struck; Ji Chen felt his chest pressed by a massive rock, breathing becoming difficult.

This old man really has some tricks!

"What the hell is this? Space Supernatural Ability?" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, trying hard to steady his body.

This strange distortion made him very uncomfortable, like motion sickness wanting to vomit, but unable to.

"A bit like it, but not quite," Ceng Yue's voice was still cold, but Ji Chen heard a hint of solemnity. "This energy... is very strange."

Strange is right!

Ji Chen complained in his heart; this old man had been acting weird since he appeared.

He endured the discomfort, carefully observing the changes in the surrounding space, attempting to find a pattern.

In the twisted space, energy flowed unpredictably, like a ball of tangled yarn, dazzling to look at.

"Kid, seen my power now? This is my unique skill—Universe Shift!" The old man laughed proudly, his voice echoing in the twisted space, sounding exceptionally harsh.

"Universe Shift? Sounds very awesome," Ji Chen sneered. "However, with just these small tricks, you want to trap me?"

Saying this, he took a deep breath, his internal Supernatural Ability running crazily.

Since he couldn't see through the pattern of this thing, he would just charge straight in!

He clenched his fists, punching out hard, the powerful energy fluctuation instantly tearing a crack in the surrounding twisted space.

"What?!" The smile on the old man's face froze; he hadn't expected Ji Chen to be able to break his Universe Shift.

"Small tricks, not worth a single blow!" Ji Chen pursued the victory, punching out again, tearing the twisted space further.

Seeing this, the surrounding people of the new force instantly boiled over.

"Boss is mighty!"

"Take him down!"

The cheers were deafening, sweeping over like a mountain and sea.

The old man's face was gloomy.

"Damn, this old man still has a backup plan?" Ji Chen cursed in his heart; this old guy really doesn't shed tears until he sees the coffin.

"Careful!" Ceng Yue's voice sounded again, carrying a hint of anxiety.

Before Ji Chen could react, he felt a powerful force enveloping him, his body being pulled uncontrollably, as if about to be torn into pieces.

Intense pain struck; he felt his bones about to break.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue exclaimed.

"Heh..." Ji Chen gritted his teeth, squeezing one word out from between his teeth. "Not... over... yet..."

Intense pain like an electric current surged through his whole body; Ji Chen felt as if he were being kneaded hard by an invisible giant hand.

His bones made groans of unbearable strain, his muscle fibers seeming about to be torn apart.

Damn, this old guy is playing for real!

At the life-and-death moment, an unprecedented force erupted from deep within his body, violent like a volcanic eruption!

This force domineeringly devoured the chaotic Supernatural Ability energy around, converting it into pure power, integrating into his limbs and bones.

Ji Chen felt his body expanding, his power surging, as if a prehistoric beast were dormant in his body, now opening its gaping maw, greedily devouring everything.

His body, originally suppressed by the old man, now miraculously steadied its stance, even faintly showing a trend of counter-suppression.

He raised his head suddenly, essence light shooting from his eyes like two sharp swords, stabbing straight into the old man's heart.

"Old thing, your performance ends here!" Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful, carrying a domineering aura that looked down on the world.

He clenched his fists, his whole body's muscles tense, like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to strike.

"Boom!"

With a punch thrown out, the air exploded, and powerful energy fluctuations spread out like ripples, instantly tearing the surrounding distorted space to shreds.

The old man's face changed greatly, his eyes full of horror; he never imagined that this young man, originally played in the palm of his hand, would erupt with such terrifying power in an instant.

At the same time, Ceng Yue also moved.

Her figure was like lightning, appearing behind the old man like a ghost, a sharp dagger appearing in her hand at some point, cold light flashing, pointing straight at the old man's heart.

She had been watching coldly from the sidelines, not out of indifference, but to find the old man's weak point.

This old guy's Universe Shift was strange, but not flawless; as long as the core of energy operation was found, it could be broken in one fell swoop.

"Pfft!"

The sound of the dagger entering flesh was clearly audible, the old man's body stiffening suddenly.

"You..." He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Ceng Yue behind him, his eyes full of resentment.

"It's over." Ceng Yue's voice was still cold, without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

Two forces erupted at the same time, like two bolts of thunder, slamming hard into the old man.

The old man's body trembled violently, the light in his eyes fading rapidly. "Im... possible..." He muttered to himself, his body falling down powerlessly.

The originally tense expressions of the new force people were instantly replaced by wild joy, cheers resounding through the clouds.

"Won! We won!"

"Boss is awesome!"

"Goddess is mighty!"

Dazzling Supernatural Ability light illuminated the surroundings, like broad daylight.

Ji Chen stood up slowly; he bathed in the light, like a god descending, majestic and awe-inspiring.

He turned to look at Ceng Yue, his gaze...

"Next..."

Ji Chen turned to look at Ceng Yue, his gaze filled with tenderness.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the dust settled, the world seeming to quiet down at this moment, leaving only each other's heartbeats.

He opened his arms, and Ceng Yue also leaned into his embrace.

No excessive words, only the warmth of a tight embrace.

They felt each other's heartbeats, felt the joy of victory, felt this hard-won peace.

The surrounding new force members were also very sensible and did not come forward to disturb them, simply silently guarding them.

This sudden warmth did not last long; Ji Chen gently pushed Ceng Yue away, his gaze becoming firm and deep.

"Next, it's time for us to establish a new order." His voice was low and powerful, carrying a trace of unquestionable majesty.

Ceng Yue nodded; she and Ji Chen stood side-by-side on high ground, looking down at the cheering crowd below.

"From today on, this city will be guarded by us!" Ji Chen's voice echoed through the entire city like a great bell, carrying a domineering aura that looked down on the world.

The new force members knelt on one knee one after another, shouting in unison: "See the Boss! See the Goddess!" Their voices were like a mountain and sea, deafening, resounding through the clouds.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's gazes met, both seeing firmness and determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that this was merely a beginning; the road ahead was still long, and more challenges were waiting for them.

But they were fearless, because they had each other, had this loyal team, and had the determination to guard this city.

Sunlight sprinkled on them, as if plated with a layer of gold, appearing exceptionally holy and majestic.

They were like gods descending, ruling the world, looking down on this territory that belonged to them.

However, just as they were enjoying the joy of victory, Ji Chen suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation coming from afar.

This energy fluctuation was extremely faint, but it made him feel a trace of inexplicable unease.

He turned his head suddenly, looking in the direction the energy fluctuation came from. "What is that..."

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze like a torch, looking toward the surging energy in the distance.

It was like a ball of unpredictable colorful smoke, appearing and disappearing between high-rise buildings, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting, radiating a heart-trembling aura.

"Quite interesting, what the hell is this?" He muttered low, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and curiosity.

Ceng Yue beside him also sensed this abnormal energy fluctuation.

Her brows furrowed slightly, a trace of solemnity appearing on her cold face, her cold voice sounding: "Go see."

"Let's go!" Ji Chen hooked the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and the two flashed, turning into two streams of light, galloping toward the direction of the mysterious power.

The surrounding new force members saw this and held their breath, nervously watching their backs.

The air was filled with a solemn atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.

As the two constantly approached, that mysterious power gradually became clear.

It was like a massive vortex, slowly rotating, radiating five-colored light, beautiful and magnificent, yet filled with a dangerous aura.

"Be careful, this thing doesn't look easy to mess with." Ji Chen reminded, the Supernatural Ability energy in his body beginning to surge, ready to deal with sudden situations at any time.

Ceng Yue did not speak, simply nodding silently, a ball of ice-blue energy also condensing in her hand, radiating piercing chill.

When they were about a hundred meters away from that mysterious power, a powerful repulsive force suddenly appeared, like an invisible wall, blocking them outside.

"Damn! What the hell!" Ji Chen was caught off guard, his body pushed back several steps, a powerful pressure making him almost unable to breathe.

The surrounding space began to distort violently, ripples appearing, as if about to collapse at any moment.

"A bit tricky..." Ji Chen took a deep breath, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, muttering: "Looks like I have to bring out some real skills..."

Ji Chen took a deep breath, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Come on, little master will let you see what real power is today!" He roared low, his arms suddenly opening, the Supernatural Ability energy in his body spraying out like a volcanic eruption.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, a powerful suction force spreading rapidly with him as the center, crazily devouring the surrounding energy, including the repulsive force of that mysterious power.

"Absorb! Convert! Explode!" Ji Chen thought to himself, his special Supernatural Ability beginning to function, rapidly converting the absorbed energy into his own power.

His body began to radiate dazzling light, golden energy churning around him, like golden dragons roaring.

"Boom!" A loud noise, the repulsive force shattering like glass, Ji Chen's body turning into golden light, instantly penetrating that invisible wall.

"Awesome! This feeling is so damn cool!" Ji Chen couldn't help but let out an excited shout, an unprecedented sense of power filling his whole body, making him feel as if he could control everything.

He even had an illusion that he was the center of this world, and everything had to submit at his feet.

However, before he could enjoy the pleasure brought by this power, an ice-blue figure suddenly flashed past him, moving with astonishing speed.

"Damn! This woman..." Ji Chen was stunned, only then discovering that Ceng Yue hadn't waited for his protection, but had rushed toward that mysterious power first.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Ji Chen shouted helplessly; this woman really didn't let people worry.

However, he also secretly admired Ceng Yue's courage and decisiveness in his heart.

He saw Ceng Yue's figure weaving through the five-colored light, ice-blue energy forming a protective shield around her, resisting the erosion of the mysterious power.

Her expression remained cold, without a trace of fear, as if everything before her could not shake her heart.

The surrounding space fluctuations became more violent, the degree of distortion becoming more and more serious, as if about to collapse at any moment.

"Damn, this girl is playing for real..." Ji Chen's heart tightened, a bad premonition welling up.

He was just about to chase after her when suddenly, an eye-piercing white light erupted from the center of that mysterious power, followed by an even more powerful energy fluctuation sweeping over, swallowing everything around into it...

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen exclaimed, suddenly extending his hand, but only grabbing a piece of nothingness...

The moment the white light swallowed everything, Ji Chen's heart shrank, a strong sense of fear instantly sweeping through his whole body.

"Ceng Yue!" He roared, diving headlong into that eye-piercing white light without thinking.

The surrounding space twisted even more violently, as if wanting to tear him into pieces.

But he didn't care at all, his eyes only holding worry and anxiety for Ceng Yue, as if the whole world only held him and her.

Passing through the white light, Ji Chen felt as if he had fallen into an interdimensional space.

The surrounding scene became bizarre, five-colored light lines intertwining to form a strange picture.

His body seemed to have lost weight, floating in the air, a strange sense of weightlessness making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Ceng Yue! Where are you?" Ji Chen shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty space, but getting no response.

Just when he was anxious, a massive spherical energy source appeared in his field of vision.

It radiated soft white light, surrounded by mysterious Runes, like ancient spells, filled with a mysterious aura.

"Damn! What the hell is this?" Ji Chen couldn't help but exclaim; this thing looked even more awesome than the mysterious power just now!

He approached the energy source cautiously, carefully observing the surrounding Runes.

These Runes he had never seen before, but they gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"Quite interesting..." He reached out wanting to touch those Runes, and a strange energy fluctuation instantly spread through his whole body, making him feel a burst of numbness.

Just then, Ceng Yue's figure appeared beside him.

"Are you okay?" Ji Chen asked with concern, seeing her safe and sound, his hanging heart finally letting go.

Ceng Yue shook her head, her gaze fixed on the energy source. "This energy... so pure..." She said in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of disbelief.

The two looked at each other, both seeing shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

The purity of this energy source far exceeded their imagination; if they could absorb it, their strength would be greatly improved!

Just when they wanted to further study the energy source, the surrounding Runes suddenly began to flicker, radiating dazzling light.

Space began to shake violently, a powerful energy fluctuation sweeping over, as if wanting to swallow them.

"Not good!" Ji Chen's face changed, a sense of ominous premonition rising in his heart.

"Retreat quickly!" He grabbed Ceng Yue's hand, wanting to pull her away.

However, it was already too late.

The Rune light shone brightly, beams of energy shooting out from the Runes, striking toward them...

"Hehe..." A low voice suddenly sounded in the space. "Looks like new prey has been delivered to the door..." ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
