Chapter 249: The Mystery of the Dark World

Darkness, bottomless darkness.

Ji Chen stood in the darkness, unable to see his fingers in front of his face; he narrowed his eyes, trying hard to find a glimmer of light in the darkness, but could see nothing.

Ceng Yue's hand gripped his hand tightly, her palm slightly sweaty; cold and detached as she was, she actually showed a bit of nervousness.

"Little Yueyue, don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Chen said softly, his voice steady and powerful, like a reassurance pill.

Ceng Yue nodded; although she couldn't see, she could feel Ji Chen's firmness and calmness.

Ji Chen closed his eyes, beginning to perceive the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His Supernatural Ability seemed to become sharper in the darkness, and bursts of subtle energy fluctuations gradually became clear in his perception.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a force pulling them, their bodies swaying involuntarily, as if being pushed forward by the tide of darkness.

"This force... is very strong." Ji Chen furrowed his brows, his voice carrying a trace of solemnity.

Ceng Yue also felt huge pressure, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid, her body leaning forward slightly, as if resisting some invisible resistance.

"Where are we now?" Ceng Yue's voice, though still cold, was clearly accompanied by a trace of trembling.

Ji Chen did not answer, his attention completely focused on perceiving the changes around him.

The force in the darkness became stronger and stronger, as if a giant vortex were slowly rotating, gradually sucking them into it.

"We have to be careful, this force doesn't look like ordinary darkness." Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful; he gripped Ceng Yue's hand tightly, fearing she would be dragged away by the power of darkness.

Suddenly, a more intense pulling sensation struck, and the two's bodies were yanked forward violently.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, immediately using his Supernatural Ability under his feet, and a powerful energy erupted beneath his feet, stabilizing their figures.

However, the power of darkness seemed to become even crazier, the surrounding air seeming to be squeezed by invisible giant hands, making "creaking" sounds.

"Little Yueyue, get ready, I'm going to launch my Supernatural Ability." Ji Chen's voice carried a trace of resolution, his eyes flickering with firm light.

Brilliant light flashed in Ji Chen's eyes, and a confident arc curled at the corner of his mouth, like a glimmer of starlight in the darkness, instantly igniting the silence around him.

"Open!" he shouted in a low voice, and a majestic energy erupted from his body, blooming with dazzling light like a sun.

Wherever the light passed, the darkness retreated, receding rapidly like a tide, revealing a small area that had been illuminated.

Ceng Yue felt the pressure on her body suddenly lighten, and her originally tense nerves also relaxed.

Although she still had no expression, the slightly lifted corners of her mouth revealed her relaxed mood at this moment.

This guy Ji Chen is actually quite reliable at critical moments.

Borrowing this rare light, the two began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

The darkness still followed like a shadow, like a dormant giant beast, ready to swallow everything again at any time.

They discovered that at the end of this illuminated area, there was a black vortex, slowly rotating.

Deep in the vortex, it seemed to hide something terrifying, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

"That is the source of darkness." Ji Chen pointed to the vortex, his tone firm, his eyes burning with raging fighting spirit.

Ceng Yue nodded; she also felt the powerful power contained in the vortex.

She could clearly perceive that there was an invisible Barrier separating them from the vortex.

This Barrier was like an indestructible restraint, blocking the path they were moving forward.

"Let me try." Ji Chen said in a deep voice; he slowly raised his right hand, energy surging in his palm, and a dazzling light condensed in his palm.

He slammed the condensed energy toward the restraint; the energy was like a laser, accurately hitting the restraint.

However, unexpectedly, the restraint remained motionless, instead bouncing all of Ji Chen's energy back, like a powerful shield.

A huge counter-shock force instantly impacted Ji Chen's body; he groaned, his body involuntarily taking a few steps back.

Ji Chen's face changed slightly; this power was actually so powerful; he still underestimated the power of this dark source.

A strong fighting spirit burned in his chest, his blood boiling, as if clamoring to destroy this restraint completely.

He didn't believe in evil; he wanted to beat this restraint into a pulp!

Ji Chen took a deep breath, and his Supernatural Ability surged again; this time, he didn't just condense energy in his palm, but mobilized all the Supernatural Ability of his whole body; his body was surrounded by dazzling light, like a sun god, emitting powerful power.

Just as he was about to launch an attack again, he stopped his footsteps.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his eyes becoming deep.

Ji Chen did not choose to attack head-on again, but slowly closed his eyes; he wanted to change a way to "communicate" with this restraint.

He reached out his hand and touched the restraint lightly.

This time, his Supernatural Ability did not erupt with a strong impact as before, but slowly permeated in, like a gentle stream, flowing slowly.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen's actions and furrowed her brows slightly, but she didn't speak; she knew Ji Chen's decision must have his reasons.

Pitch-black, dead silent, everything returned to calm.

This move of Ji Chen's showed off to Ceng Yue.

Her beautiful eyes opened slightly; what kind of medicine is this kid selling in his gourd?

Forced breakthrough didn't work, now changing to a gentle route?

The surrounding darkness also seemed to be startled by Ji Chen's actions, actually becoming strangely quiet, like a group of melon-eating masses, waiting to watch a good show.

Ji Chen's Supernatural Ability was like a trickling stream, slowly seeping into the restraint.

This feeling was like chatting with a cold girl; you have to be careful, cater to her preferences, to win her heart.

He could even feel the complex energy flow inside the restraint, like a heartbeat, sometimes rapid, sometimes soothing.

Suddenly, the restraint shone brightly, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

A crack appeared in the center of the restraint, slowly extending to both sides, forming a path leading to the unknown.

Succeeded!

Ji Chen lifted the corners of his mouth slightly; as expected of me!

This move, 666!

Ceng Yue, although still calm on the surface, was already surging with waves in her heart.

This restraint, even she was helpless, Ji Chen actually solved it so easily?

Sure enough, this kid is hiding his strength!

"Let's go, Little Yueyue, take you to see something more exciting." Ji Chen grabbed Ceng Yue's hand and stepped into the passage with her.

Inside the passage, darkness still shrouded, but Ji Chen's Supernatural Ability was like a bright lamp, illuminating the path ahead.

The two walked side-by-side, and the surrounding darkness seemed to feel their courage, not daring to get close in the slightest.

After walking for about ten minutes, a huge black sphere appeared at the end of the passage.

This sphere floated in the air, emitting a heart-palpitating aura, as if it were the devil's heart from hell, making people shudder.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stopped their footsteps, their gazes fixed tightly on the sphere before them.

The air seemed to have frozen, and everything around was dead silent.

"What is this thing?" Ceng Yue's voice carried a trace of trembling; even she felt the huge oppression brought by this sphere.

Ji Chen did not answer; he slowly reached out his hand, wanting to touch this dark sphere... ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
