Chapter 180: Rescuing from the Vortex Crisis

Ji Chen looked at the golden vortex in the sky, his brows locked tight, the expression on his face so grave it could wring out water.

"Holy crap, I messed up!" He cursed inwardly; this Golden Finger upgrade was exciting, but the aftereffects were a bit too much!

He could clearly feel that the vortex contained a power capable of destroying the world, like an ancient giant beast that had been angered, ready to devour people at any moment.

The surrounding Ability Users were also dumbfounded, one by one pale-faced, their legs trembling; who wouldn't want to shout "Mommy save me" when seeing this scene?

The suction force of the vortex was like a bottomless pit, beginning to crazily swallow everything around it.

The rubble on the ground, and even the cars parked on the side of the road, were like being cast with magic, uncontrollably flying into the air, then being sucked into the golden vortex, disappearing without a trace.

The wind howled like countless vengeful ghosts roaring, blowing so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, their clothes flapping loudly, as if they were about to be torn into pieces in the next second.

"Can't wait any longer!" Ji Chen roared, his feet kicking the ground violently, his whole body like an arrow off the string, rushing toward the vortex.

He condensed powerful energy in both hands, and beams of dazzling light shot out from his palms, bombarding the golden vortex, attempting to stop its swallowing.

However, those beams of light, which were enough to destroy steel, hit the vortex but were like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to cause the slightest ripple, and were instead easily resolved by the vortex, the energy directly absorbed clean.

Ji Chen's heart sank; the energy of this vortex could simply be described as "terrifying"!

Seeing the surrounding environment becoming increasingly dangerous, Ji Chen knew he couldn't fight alone anymore.

He shouted to the surrounding Ability Users: "What are you waiting for? All of you, get on it! Let's deal with it together!"

Hearing Ji Chen's shout, those Ability Users who had been scared out of their wits finally reacted, one after another taking out their signature moves. Various Supernatural Ability lights intertwined in the air, converging into a powerful torrent, rushing toward the golden vortex; the scene was as spectacular as a Hollywood blockbuster.

However, facing such a powerful energy impact, the vortex remained as steady as Mount Tai, like a bottomless pit, swallowing all energy, and the suction force was constantly increasing.

Just at this moment, Ceng Yue's figure flashed and appeared by Ji Chen's side. Her expression was cold, her eyes carried a trace of anxiety, but her tone was still that consistent coldness, "Do you think..."

He stared tightly at the approaching monster, a strong fighting intent surging in his heart.

He discovered that the energy of the golden vortex was not released uniformly, but existed with periodic fluctuations, like tides, with both high and low tides.

"I understand!" A flash of sharp light crossed Ji Chen's eyes, a confident smile hooking on his lips, "This thing has a rhythm!" He was no longer in a hurry to attack violently, but waited patiently, feeling the changes in the vortex's energy.

The moment the suction force of the vortex weakened slightly, Ji Chen seized the opportunity, concentrating all the Supernatural Ability energy in his body between his palms. A powerful force, unprecedented, surged within his body, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

His hands seemed to have turned into two dazzling suns, emitting a dazzling light that made people unable to open their eyes.

"Shatter for me!" Ji Chen roared, his palms pushing out violently, and a beam of light capable of splitting mountains and cracking rocks slammed heavily into the golden vortex.

"Boom!" With a heaven-shaking loud noise, the golden vortex, which had originally been indestructible, actually showed a trace of a crack.

The violent energy splashed everywhere like a wild horse that had broken its reins, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

Ji Chen felt a sense of emptiness within his body, but looking at the weakened vortex, his heart was filled with a sense of achievement, as if he had won an epic Boss Battle, it was simply great!

"Awesome! Brother Chen is amazing!" The surrounding Ability Users also cheered excitedly, their voices deafening, as if they wanted to flip this world upside down.

However, good times didn't last long.

The golden vortex seemed to have been angered; the cracks instantly disappeared, the suction force increased again, and it erupted with even more terrifying energy than before.

Bolts of golden lightning sprayed out from the vortex, like giant nets, covering Ji Chen and the others.

"Damn it, playing dirty!" Ji Chen cursed inwardly, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.

He was hit head-on by a bolt of golden lightning, his body flying backward like a broken kite, spraying a mouthful of blood with a "pfft" sound, and falling heavily to the ground.

Intense pain instantly spread through his whole body, his internal organs feeling as if they had shifted, and Ji Chen felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

He struggled to get up, but found that his body wouldn't listen to him at all, and he could only lie weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.

The golden vortex in the sky seemed to be mocking his overestimation of his own capabilities, emitting bursts of heart-palpitating roars.

This feeling was like going through all kinds of hardships, only to be rubbed on the ground, it was simply too humiliating!

Ceng Yue saw Ji Chen get injured, and on her face, which was always cold as ice, a trace of panic finally appeared. She couldn't care about anything else and was about to rush toward Ji Chen...

"Don't come over! It's dangerous!" Ji Chen roared with a hoarse voice, his voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling.

He didn't want Ceng Yue to fall into danger as well; this woman, in his heart, was more important than anything else.

Ceng Yue's footsteps paused, a trace of worry flashing in her cold eyes, but she didn't continue to move forward.

She understood Ji Chen; this man seemed playful and uninhibited, but in reality, his heart was incomparably firm. Once he decided on something, even nine cows couldn't pull him back.

All she could do was guard silently from the side, waiting for the opportunity.

With danger ahead, no words were needed between the two; one look was better than a thousand words.

That intense love, at the critical moment of life and death, was instead even more scorching, burning like a raging fire.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, enduring the intense pain in his body, and concentrated his energy again.

He knew he couldn't drag this out anymore; he had to solve this damn vortex as soon as possible!

He closed his eyes, feeling the energy fluctuations of the surrounding Ability Users, and connected his own Supernatural Ability with them, forming a giant energy network.

At this moment, he was the core, the commander, the gathering point of all power!

"Brothers, let's go together! Give it the final blow!" Ji Chen suddenly opened his eyes, sharp light shooting from them like two sharp swords, piercing the sky.

The surrounding Ability Users were infected by his powerful aura and responded one after another, injecting their respective Supernatural Abilities into the energy network without reservation.

For a time, colorful energy lights shone together, converging into a torrent capable of destroying the world, sweeping toward the golden vortex.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Continuous explosions resounded through heaven and earth, and the golden vortex, under the combined attack of the crowd, finally began to shrink, like a deflated balloon, its light gradually dimming.

"It worked!" Seeing this, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled, a sudden change occurred!

The golden vortex suddenly shook violently, and a black ray of light, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, shot out from the center of the vortex with lightning speed, heading straight for Ji Chen.

"Brother Chen, watch out!"

Someone exclaimed, but it was already too late.

The black ray of light instantly hit Ji Chen, his body shaking violently...

"Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice stopped abruptly. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
