Chapter 158: Conquering the Energy Source

The faint blue light burst suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, the violent energy shockwave blowing Ji Chen and Ceng Yue away.

They fell hard to the ground, their internal organs seeming to have shifted, a fishy sweetness surging in their mouths.

"Cough cough..." Ji Chen struggled to climb up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking up at that Rune stone.

He saw the light on the Rune stone becoming even more dazzling, radiating a heart-trembling energy fluctuation.

"This thing, did it eat stimulants? It simply can't stop!" Ji Chen complained, but there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, instead burning with even more scorching fighting spirit.

Ceng Yue also stood up, her face pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.

She did not speak, simply standing silently by Ji Chen's side, her determination to fight side-by-side with him self-evident.

The energy fluctuation of the Rune stone became increasingly intense, the surrounding space beginning to distort, as if about to collapse at any moment.

The violent energy turned into countless beams of light, pouring down like a storm, enveloping Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Come on! Let me see just how powerful you are!" Ji Chen roared, his whole body's Supernatural Ability surging crazily, forming an indestructible energy shield, blocking those beams of light.

Ceng Yue was not to be outdone; she formed seals with both hands, chanting, and a powerful mental force spread out, stabilizing the surrounding space and preventing the collapse of space.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Rune attacks became more and more violent, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue bearing immense pressure, their bodies trembling constantly, as if about to collapse at any moment.

But their eyes were even firmer, without the slightest intention of retreating.

"Not over yet!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, driving his

Ceng Yue also took a deep breath.

"Are you ready?" She turned her head to look at Ji Chen, her voice low and powerful.

"Of course!" Ji Chen grinned, his eyes flashing with excitement.

The two reached out their hands at the same time and clasped them tightly together...

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's hands were tightly locked, and a powerful supernatural ability surged from within their bodies, converging into a dazzling light that illuminated the entire space.

Although the light on the rune stone was still blinding, it had begun to show a trace of instability.

"Come on, Ceng Yue, let's do this together!" Ji Chen's voice carried determination, and his eyes flashed with a scorching light.

Ceng Yue nodded; without any extra words, there was simply a bit more resolve in her eyes.

Both of them closed their eyes at the same time, devoting themselves entirely to the fusion of their supernatural abilities.

Ji Chen's supernatural ability was like a surging river, and Ceng Yue's supernatural ability swirled and intertwined within it, ultimately forming an invincible power.

This power was like a sharp blade, thrusting directly into the core of the rune stone.

"Crack!" A faint sound of cracking came from inside the rune stone, and immediately after, the rune stone began to vibrate violently. The light gradually became unstable, and for a moment, violent energy scattered in all directions, pouring down like a rainstorm.

"Steady!" Ji Chen shouted, his energy shield exerting force once again to block the rampaging energy outside.

Ceng Yue's mental power also reached its peak at this moment; her hands formed seals faster and faster, and her mental power fluctuations were like a giant net, firmly locking the surrounding space.

"Boom!" The rune stone finally could not withstand it, and a massive explosion echoed throughout the entire space.

A strong light erupted from the rune stone, pushing Ji Chen and Ceng Yue backward.

But they did not stop; instead, they took advantage of the momentum to rush forward, injecting the final trace of energy into the rune stone.

The light of the rune stone dimmed instantly, finally turning into nothingness.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other; the surrounding supernatural ability fluctuations swept in like a tsunami, and the onlookers were all amazed, some even kneeling on the ground, shouting their names.

"You did it." Ceng Yue's voice was low and powerful, and a trace of tenderness was hidden in her eyes.

"We did it together." Ji Chen smiled slightly and squeezed Ceng Yue's hand.

Just then, the residual energy of the rune stone suddenly fluctuated violently, and a condensed ball of light slowly emerged from the void, flying toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

The two narrowed their eyes, a sense of alertness rising in their hearts.

The deep blue energy light ball hovered in mid-air, emitting a soft glow, pulsing slowly like the heart of a newborn baby.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other; besides vigilance, there was a bit more of an indescribable sentiment in each other's eyes.

"This thing... it wouldn't be the 'treasure' dropped after defeating the Boss, would it?" Ji Chen's mouth curled up slightly, though a trace of gravity flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Be careful." Ceng Yue remained as sparing with her words as ever, but her tone carried a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

With a thought, their supernatural abilities intertwined once again, forming an indestructible barrier.

Their breathing was intertwined, and the air was filled with a sweet yet tense atmosphere, like a gorgeous flower of love blooming on the battlefield.

This power was not just the superposition of supernatural abilities, but also proof of two hearts clinging tightly together.

"Come on, let me see what medicine you're selling in your gourd!" Ji Chen shouted, the energy in his body erupting like a volcano. He injected this powerful energy into the barrier without reservation, perfectly fusing it with Ceng Yue's mental power.

"Boom!" The fused energy was like a meteorite hitting the ground, emitting a deafening roar as it charged directly at the hovering light ball.

The light ball began to vibrate violently upon contact, as if it were about to explode.

However, unexpectedly, the light ball did not explode; instead, it began to absorb the energy of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue. The light grew more and more intense, and finally, it turned into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, illuminating the entire city!

At this moment, everyone clearly felt the power of this force, and some even knelt on the ground, worshiping piously.

"Damn, this move is simply 666!" Ji Chen couldn't help but curse; he felt the power within his body surging like a tide, stronger than ever before.

Although Ceng Yue did not speak, the coldness in her eyes began to melt slowly, replaced by a rare trace of tenderness.

As if surrendering to this power, all the surrounding supernatural energy calmed down, and even the air was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

They stood side by side like gods, overlooking this world.

Just as Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were immersed in the joy of victory, a shrill alarm suddenly exploded in Ji Chen's mind!

"Beep—! Warning! Unknown energy fluctuation intrusion!"

Ji Chen's smile stiffened instantly, and he turned his head abruptly to look into the distance.
