Chapter 259: Change

The dazzling light gradually faded, Ji Chen staggered, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

A heart-piercing pain came from deep within his body, as if countless steel needles were scurrying through his blood vessels, making him unable to help but bend over in pain.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue's heart tightened, she shouted anxiously, but didn't dare to approach rashly.

The powerful energy fluctuation just now made her have lingering fears, fearing that if she were not careful, she would be swept into it.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down his forehead; he felt his body was like a balloon about to explode, ready to be burst at any moment.

The surrounding space seemed to have sensed this change, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, like the silence before a storm.

"Damn... what is this thing..." Ji Chen squeezed out a few words with difficulty; he felt his supernatural energy was being crazily absorbed, as if a huge vortex were raging within his body, devouring the power he had painstakingly accumulated.

Ceng Yue was anxious on the side; she wanted to help Ji Chen but didn't know how to start.

She reached out her hand, but stopped in mid-air, not daring to touch Ji Chen's body, which seemed to be burning with fire.

The surrounding air became heavier and heavier, making it hard to breathe.

Ji Chen's face became paler and paler, his power was rapidly draining, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged in his heart.

He felt like a drowning person, helplessly being dragged into a bottomless abyss.

His lips trembled.

"Am... am I going to..." Ji Chen's voice became weaker and weaker, and he felt his consciousness gradually blurring.

Ceng Yue clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms; she watched helplessly as Ji Chen struggled in pain, but was powerless.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, suffocatingly oppressive.

Suddenly, Ji Chen's body trembled violently...

"Wait..." Ceng Yue widened her eyes, looking at everything happening before her in disbelief.

Ji Chen's body trembled violently, and his originally pale face actually began to show a hint of ruddiness, like withered wood meeting sweet rain, regaining its vitality.

The vortex raging crazily within his body actually began to rotate in reverse, like a tamed beast, crazily devouring that foreign energy.

"Damn!" Ji Chen couldn't help but curse; he felt his body had been injected with a stimulant, every inch of muscle filled with explosive power.

The originally withered supernatural energy was like it had been injected with chicken blood, instantly boiling, galloping endlessly in his meridians.

The originally oppressive and dull air also began to become active, as if welcoming the arrival of a new king.

The surrounding energy factors were like dancing elves, happily rotating around Ji Chen, making bursts of humming sounds.

Ceng Yue widened her eyes, as if she had seen something incredible.

Her originally cold face also rarely showed a look of surprise, like ice melting, revealing the deep lake and mountain scenery hidden within.

Ji Chen felt the power constantly rising within his body, and a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He clenched his fists violently, and a powerful aura instantly erupted, forming an invisible energy shield around him like a substance.

He felt as if he had transformed into a human nuclear bomb, ready to erupt with world-destroying power at any time.

"Let's try it!" Ji Chen roared, his muscles tensed, and he punched into the air violently.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a harsh explosion sound.

Wherever his fist passed, a visible crack appeared in space, like a canvas cut by an invisible sharp blade.

Within the crack, a trace of deep darkness was vaguely visible, like an entrance to another world.

"This... how is this possible?" Ceng Yue muttered to herself, the surprise in her eyes turning into fanatical worship.

She couldn't believe everything she saw; this man actually possessed such powerful strength.

She felt the blood in her body begin to boil, as if infected by Ji Chen's powerful strength.

Ji Chen slowly lowered his fist, feeling the power within his body that was still constantly increasing, the corners of his mouth slightly raised; he raised his head, looked at the shocked Ceng Yue, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his tone slightly excited as he said: "This thing... is a bit interesting!"

Ji Chen felt the surging power within his body, like he had eaten endless chewing gum, and it simply couldn't stop.

With a thought, the originally just muscle strength enhancement instantly extended to a deeper level—space!

That's right, he could actually manipulate space!

Not only that, he even felt he could have a wonderful resonance with the surrounding machinery, as if he had become the will of the machinery.

He was like a god descending to earth, every gesture carrying world-destroying power.

Under his control, the surrounding space began to twist and deform like soft plasticine.

"Is... is this still human?" Ceng Yue muttered to herself; her expression at this moment was like seeing the male lead in an idol drama break through the dimensional wall and run to her to propose, shocked and carrying a trace of fanaticism.

Ji Chen looked at the spatial change he had caused single-handedly, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

He opened his arms violently and hugged Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue also hugged him back tightly, the two cheering and jumping for joy because of this sudden powerful strength.

With a thought from Ji Chen, the power of space surged again, and the originally distorted space was like being wiped by an eraser, instantly returning to its original state, and even becoming more solid.

The entire space seemed to have been branded with their unique mark, becoming their little world.

The surrounding energy factors jumped crazily, shining with the light of victory, as if cheering for their strength.

Just when the two were immersed in joy, Ji Chen's brow suddenly wrinkled.

A mysterious signal suddenly broke into his mind, like a call from another unknown space.

The signal was intermittent, yet full of temptation, as if revealing a brand new world to him.

Ji Chen's eyes condensed, the originally excited expression instantly disappeared, replaced by a trace of doubt and vigilance.

He gently let go of Ceng Yue, his eyes flashing with complex light.

"Interesting..." Ji Chen muttered to himself, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he turned and walked toward the direction from which the signal came. ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
