Chapter 161

The white light was like an endless torrent, instantly sweeping the entire plaza into it.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were enveloped by the sudden intense light, and everything around them became blurred.

The pressure in the air seemed to have reached its peak, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"Ceng Yue, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ji Chen held Ceng Yue's hand tightly, his tone firm and powerful.

Hidden within the intense light seemed to be some kind of dangerous information, attempting to interfere with their thoughts.

Ji Chen felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if something was trying to invade his consciousness.

He furrowed his brows, his inner anger erupting like a volcano.

"Damn it, you want to interfere with me? No way!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, a strong fighting spirit surging in his heart.

He felt Ceng Yue's hand trembling slightly, but her gaze revealed determination.

"We cannot stop." Ceng Yue's voice was low but filled with resolve.

She tightened her grip on Ji Chen's hand, and the two took a step forward side by side.

The pressure within the intense light grew greater, and the surrounding air seemed to have solidified into heavy stones, pressing down on them.

Ji Chen felt his muscles trembling, but his gaze became increasingly determined.

He took a deep breath, mobilized all his supernatural ability, and prepared to resist this invisible interference.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice sounded somewhat weak in the intense light, but her eyes revealed endless trust.

"Don't worry, I will protect you." Ji Chen's voice was firm and powerful, like a beam of light in the darkness.

He exerted force, and his supernatural ability surged through his body like a tide, repelling the invisible interference one by one.

Just then, a low and mysterious voice suddenly came from within the intense light, echoing in their ears like an ancient incantation.

"Awakened, prepare to face the true test..."

Ji Chen's gaze sharpened, he held Ceng Yue's hand tightly, and the fighting spirit in his heart was completely ignited.

He took a deep breath, preparing to face the upcoming challenge.

The pain in his brain, like ten thousand steel needles, gradually subsided, and Ji Chen's breathing slowly stabilized.

He steadied his mind, a warm current surged in his dantian, and his supernatural ability circulated through his body like a rushing river, finally gathering in his palms.

A powerful aura radiated from him, like a waking lion, looking down upon the world.

The surrounding intense light seemed to have sensed this pressure, and the light dimmed slightly.

A sense of pride welled up, and Ji Chen's mouth curled slightly: Is this it?

A piece of cake!

Ceng Yue, standing to the side, also gradually adapted to the interference of the intense light, her cool, clear eyes flashing with a determined light.

The two looked at each other, everything understood without words.

Within the intense light, an ancient image vaguely emerged; it was a mysterious totem, radiating an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue held their breath, carefully observing this image.

As the totem rotated, a passage of ancient text gradually appeared, echoing in their ears like whispers from the distant past.

"We are the Watchers, and it is our duty to protect the world's balance. However, you ability users are growing stronger by the day, threatening the world's balance. We shall descend divine punishment to purge the supernatural world..."

The mysterious text gradually dissipated, and the intense light weakened along with it.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue finally understood that this so-called "mysterious warning" was actually a challenge from an ancient faction to their ruling position!

A nameless fire burned in Ji Chen's chest; he held Ceng Yue's hand tightly, his gaze like a torch: "It seems someone wants to stir up trouble!"

Ceng Yue's mouth curled slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Then let them see what true power is!"

The surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the intense light: "Heh, quite a big mouth! Do you think you two can challenge the authority of the Watchers?"

A black shadow slowly walked out from the intense light, tall and imposing, radiating a suffocating pressure...

The black shadow gradually became clear, and a figure wearing a black robe with their face hidden under a hood appeared before everyone.

They were surrounded by black mist, radiating a pressure that made one's heart palpitate.

"Watchers?" Ji Chen sneered. "Quite a big mouth, I'd like to see what skills you have!" Ceng Yue stood beside Ji Chen, cold air permeating her body, like a blooming ice lotus, radiating a bone-chilling coldness.

"Arrogant!" the black-robed person shouted angrily, and a powerful pressure swept over, causing the surrounding space to begin to twist and deform.

The ground cracked, buildings were on the verge of collapse, and the watching ability users retreated one after another, looking at this scene in terror.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were fearless, their gazes firm, their supernatural abilities fully unleashed.

Golden light flared on Ji Chen, as dazzling and eye-catching as a small sun.

The cold air around Ceng Yue condensed into ice crystals, dancing in the air and emitting crisp sounds.

"Come on, let me see the strength of you old antiques!" Ji Chen shouted, his figure flashing like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward the black-robed person.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind, the ice crystals in her hand transforming into sharp blades, slicing through the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The black-robed person snorted coldly, the black mist rolling and transforming into a giant black palm, slapping toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

Ji Chen didn't dodge or evade, throwing a punch that exploded with golden light, colliding with the black palm.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, energy fluctuations swept out, and the surrounding buildings instantly collapsed, turning into ruins.

The watching ability users exclaimed; this level of power was simply unheard of!

"Is that all the skill you have?" Ji Chen steadied his figure, a look of disdain on his face.

The supernatural ability within his dantian operated crazily, absorbing the surrounding energy to replenish his own consumption.

Ceng Yue's figure was elusive, like a nimble butterfly, wandering around the black-robed person, the ice blades in her hand attacking continuously, searching for the opponent's flaws.

The black-robed person was attacked by the two working together, gradually falling into a disadvantage.

"It's time to end this!" A sharp light flashed in Ji Chen's eyes. He exchanged glances with Ceng Yue, and the two understood each other, simultaneously unleashing their strongest attack.

Golden light and ice crystals shone together, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

The black-robed person let out a scream, swallowed by the pillar of light and turning into ashes.

The intense light dissipated, and everything around them returned to calm.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, bathed in the light of victory.

The watching ability users erupted into thunderous applause and cheers; they had witnessed the birth of a new legend!

Just as everyone was cheering, Ji Chen looked up at the sky, only to see a strange crack appear in the sky at some unknown time, radiating a weird aura.

"What is that..."
