Chapter 242: Investigating the Crack

The black crack was like the maw of an abyss, greedily swallowing the surrounding light and energy.

The originally noisy crowd instantly fell silent, everyone's gaze focused on this sudden anomaly in the sky.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue held hands tightly, both able to feel the sweat on the other's palms.

"This thing... is a bit sinister." Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

Ceng Yue did not speak, just nodded slightly, a rare trace of solemnity appearing on her cold face.

This crack appeared too strangely, as if it had torn space out of thin air, and the aura it emitted was heart-palpitating.

The surrounding energy fluctuations became more and more violent, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air, as if some terrifying existence were about to break the seal.

"Let's go take a look." Ji Chen said in a deep voice.

Although his heart was also full of vigilance, as a man standing at the peak of the Supernatural World, he had to investigate the secrets behind this crack.

Ceng Yue did not object, just silently gripped Ji Chen's hand tighter.

The two soared into the air, flying toward the crack in the sky.

As the distance closed, the suction force became stronger, as if it wanted to swallow them in.

Ji Chen mobilized his Supernatural Ability, golden light flickering around his body, resisting this powerful suction.

"Hold on to me!" Ji Chen shouted, shielding Ceng Yue tightly behind him.

The space at the edge of the crack distorted and deformed, rotating like a vortex.

The powerful suction force dragged surrounding buildings, trees, and vehicles into it, instantly turning them into powder.

"This thing... is even more powerful than I imagined!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, feeling the suction that almost wanted to tear him apart.

Ceng Yue's face was pale, gripping Ji Chen's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ji Chen gave her a firm look.

Suddenly, an even more powerful suction force came, and Ji Chen could no longer resist, his body uncontrollably being sucked toward the crack.

"Chen!" Ceng Yue exclaimed, watching helplessly as Ji Chen was sucked into the deep darkness.

"Damn it... what kind of crappy setting is this!" This was Ji Chen's last thought before being sucked into the crack.

Ceng Yue bit her lip.

"Chen, wait for me!" She leaped, jumping into that unknown abyss...

After Ji Chen was sucked into the crack, his body kept falling in the darkness.

He quickly calmed down, mobilizing his special ability, and began to absorb the chaotic Supernatural Ability energy around him and convert it into his own power.

In an instant, his body glowed with a soft light; this light was like a lighthouse of hope, gradually resisting the crazy suction of the crack.

His eyes were firm and full of confidence, like a peerless war god.

The crowd below saw this scene and let out bursts of exclamation, admiring his ability.

However, the calm did not last long.

Suddenly, a group of mysterious creatures flew out of the crack; they were strange in appearance, neither bird nor beast, their bodies emitting a cold, ghostly light.

As soon as these creatures appeared, they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, launching an attack on Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

Ji Chen did not hesitate to shield Ceng Yue behind him, facing this group of aggressive mysterious creatures alone.

His posture was flexible, like a nimble ghost, weaving back and forth between the attacks, cleverly dodging them.

Every counterattack carried powerful force; after being hit, those mysterious creatures let out painful hisses, suffering heavy damage.

Ceng Yue on the side watched the battle nervously, her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

The surrounding buildings were teetering under the impact of the battle, stones constantly falling, kicking up bursts of dust.

Ji Chen, however, gradually discovered that although his attacks could hurt these mysterious creatures, the effect was not ideal.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly changed his strategy, his whole person rushing toward the densest area of the mysterious creatures like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing this, Ceng Yue widened her eyes and couldn't help but shout: "Ji Chen, are you crazy!" Ji Chen, however, only left her with a resolute back.

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Ji Chen's mouth, and he thought silently: "Little things, can't I handle you?" He suddenly opened his arms, his body emitting a strange attraction, and the ghostly light on those originally aggressive mysterious creatures actually began to gather toward him uncontrollably.

"Holy crap! What kind of move is this?" The onlookers exclaimed, their jaws almost dropping; was this still the Ji Chen they knew?

This Star-Absorbing Technique was simply blinding their 24k titanium alloy dog eyes!

The mysterious creatures panicked, letting out bursts of sharp hisses, trying to break free from this strange attraction, but Ji Chen's Golden Finger was simply too powerful; the energy on their bodies poured into Ji Chen's body like a floodgate opening, and he felt a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones—it felt so good he was about to fly!

As he absorbed more and more energy, the aura around Ji Chen became more and more powerful; he suddenly opened his eyes, and brilliant light shot out, as if two bolts of lightning had torn through the sky.

"Let you taste the power of your grandpa!" Ji Chen roared, releasing all the energy he had absorbed without reservation.

"Boom!"

A terrifying shockwave spread outward with Ji Chen as the center, and those mysterious creatures were instantly destroyed like autumn leaves in the wind, turning into dots of light in the sky and dissipating into the air.

The surrounding buildings vibrated violently under the effect of the shockwave, making "creaking" sounds, as if they could collapse at any moment.

Ji Chen stood proudly in mid-air, his clothes fluttering, like a god descending to earth; the powerful aura he emitted made everyone around him hold their breath involuntarily.

"Too awesome! As expected of Brother Chen!" A deafening cheer erupted from the crowd; they cheered for Ji Chen's powerful strength and were excited that he had saved them.

The corners of Ji Chen's mouth lifted slightly, enjoying the admiration of the crowd; this feeling was simply too satisfying!

However, before he could be happy for long, he felt an even more powerful aura coming from the crack; this aura was so powerful it made his heart palpitate, as if an ancient giant beast were awakening.

Ji Chen's heart tightened, his brows furrowed.

He felt an unprecedented pressure, and even breathing became somewhat difficult.

Ceng Yue also felt this powerful aura; she stared fixedly at the crack, her face pale. ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
