Chapter 271: Energy Ball

Ghostly blue light jumped in the darkness, the energy ball pulsing like a heart, every pulsation making ripples in the surrounding space.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue walked with difficulty, the closer they got to the energy ball, the heavier the invisible pressure became, as if a mountain were pressing on their bodies.

The air was filled with a strange energy fluctuation, stimulating their senses.

"Something's here, this thing." Ji Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but excitement flashed in his eyes.

He had already prepared for battle, clenched his fists, his knuckles making crackling sounds.

Ceng Yue was taciturn, but her eyes also revealed rare heaviness.

She subconsciously gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, cold air all over her body, ready to deal with sudden danger at any time.

The surrounding space distorted like a funhouse mirror, and the light also became strange, the entire scene full of oppression and tension.

Suddenly, the energy ball shook violently, dazzling light erupted, and a powerful energy shockwave swept over with the momentum of overturning rivers and seas.

"Damn!" Ji Chen only had time to burst out a curse before being smashed away by this force, his back smashing heavily against the wall, his internal organs as if displaced.

"Chen!" Ceng Yue exclaimed, also being overturned to the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The surrounding space was even more chaotic, energy turbulence raging, as if wanting to tear everything apart.

Ji Chen struggled to climb up, his vision blurred, the intense pain making him almost unable to breathe.

"Damn..." He gritted his teeth, a strong sense of unwillingness surging in his heart.

"Hold on..." Ceng Yue's voice was weak and firm, she tried hard to stand up, but found her body unable to move.

Just at this moment, the energy ball flickered again, an even more powerful energy fluctuation brewing...

"Not over yet..." Ji Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Ji Chen

The special ability within his body was fully activated, crazily absorbing the energy released by the energy ball.

At first, this energy was violent and difficult to control, battering his meridians and causing him unbearable pain.

But soon, he adapted to this feeling, guiding the energy flow throughout his entire body and repairing his damaged physique.

A golden protective barrier emerged around him, like an indestructible shield, blocking all of the energy ball's attacks.

Ji Chen felt filled with power, as if he had been reborn, looking down at this chaotic space like a god.

"That's it? Are you tickling me?" A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The energy ball seemed to sense a threat; its light suddenly contracted, then violently expanded, transforming into a giant energy monster.

It possessed a ferocious face and a massive body, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Oh? You can even transform?" Ji Chen raised an eyebrow. Instead of retreating, he advanced, scooped up Ceng Yue, and moved like a ghost, dodging the energy monster's attacks.

Every attack from the energy monster carried destructive power; the surrounding space was shattered, as if the end of the world had arrived.

But Ji Chen was at ease, weaving through the shattered space with Ceng Yue. Every dodge was incredibly precise, as if he had already predicted the energy monster's attack trajectory.

"Watch my Kirin Arm!" Seizing the moment, Ji Chen threw a punch. The golden energy, like a roaring dragon, slammed fiercely into the energy monster's body.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the energy monster's body flickered violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Again!" Ji Chen pressed his advantage, using both fists and feet to attack the energy monster like a storm.

The entire Relic was trembling; space was shattering and energy turbulence was raging, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The battle entered a white-hot stage; victory or defeat would be decided in an instant.

Ji Chen suddenly stopped his attack, looking at the violently trembling energy monster, a mysterious smile appearing on his lips. "This is just the beginning... the real battle starts now..."

Ji Chen took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He did not choose to meet force with force, but instead converted the absorbed energy into a strange fluctuation, silently invading the energy monster's body.

This fluctuation was like a virus, rapidly infecting the energy monster's energy core and disrupting its energy circulation.

"What the hell?" The energy monster let out a roar; its massive body began to become unstable, and its energy fluctuations became chaotic.

"This guy... he's got something!" It realized the situation was wrong, but it was already too late to turn things around.

In the lull of the battle, Ceng Yue gently wiped the sweat from Ji Chen's forehead, a trace of tenderness appearing in her eyes.

The surrounding energy turbulence seemed to sense this tranquility and calmed down slightly.

Ji Chen felt her concern, a warm current surging in his heart; he gripped her hand tightly and gave her a firm look.

"Wait for me." His tone was gentle yet firm.

"Mm." Ceng Yue nodded slightly, a rare smile appearing on her cool, thin-lipped face.

Ji Chen focused his attention back on the energy monster.

He took a deep breath and mobilized all his strength; golden light flowed over his body, dazzling and eye-catching.

The surrounding space vibrated violently, and energy fluctuations rolled like ocean waves.

"It's time to end this!" Ji Chen shouted, gathering all his power into a single point, transforming it into a dazzling beam of light that struck the energy monster's energy core directly.

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar, the energy monster collapsed instantly, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air.

The intense light illuminated the entire Relic; Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were bathed in the radiance, as dazzling as gods.

They embraced, feeling the joy of victory. At this moment, they were the masters of this Relic, and their glory had reached its peak.

However, just then, Ji Chen suddenly felt a gaze from outside the Relic, like needles on his back, making him feel a sense of unease.

"Someone is watching us..." he whispered.
