Chapter 66: Eternal Legend

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, bathed in the admiring gazes of the crowd.

The remaining forces of the Ancient Families were defeated and fled in all directions like stray dogs.

The Supernatural World seemed to have returned to a long-lost peace.

But this peace was like the calm before a storm, stifling to the point of suffocation.

"Things... seem a bit wrong." Ceng Yue frowned slightly. She keenly sensed a lurking energy fluctuation, like a dormant giant beast, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Ji Chen took a deep breath. The air was filled with a strange, fishy sweetness, making him feel uneasy.

The surrounding cheers gradually faded away, replaced by a deathly silence.

Even the air seemed to have frozen.

"It's here!" Ji Chen shouted in a low voice, his muscles tense, ready to go.

A black shadow descended from the sky, as if tearing through space, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

The black shadow dissipated, revealing a strange face.

He wore a black cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, with only a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with chilling light.

"Hehe, what a wonderful performance." The Mysterious Person let out a cold laugh, the voice like it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.

"However, the game ends here."

A powerful energy fluctuation radiated from the Mysterious Person, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

The strength of this energy far exceeded any Peak Stage Ability User that Ji Chen and Ceng Yue had ever seen.

"Beyond Peak..." Ceng Yue's pupils shrank, and a sense of crisis she had never felt before surged in her heart.

Ji Chen clenched his fists, sweat seeping from his palms.

He knew that the real battle had only just begun.

"Scared?" The Mysterious Person looked at the two playfully, "Where is this even at?"

"Scared?" Ji Chen sneered, "This word doesn't exist in my dictionary!"

Ceng Yue didn't speak, just stood silently by Ji Chen's side, her eyes firm.

Even if there was a bottomless abyss ahead, she would jump down with him without hesitation.

A cruel arc curled the corners of the Mysterious Person's mouth, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his scarlet eyes.

"Since that's the case, then go to hell!"

He slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying energy condensed in his palm, and the surrounding space began to twist violently...

"Come on!" Ji Chen roared, and brilliant golden light erupted from his body...

The energy in the Mysterious Person's palm condensed to the extreme, like a black hole that would explode at any time, and the surrounding air was twisted out of shape.

"Go to hell!" He grinned and pushed the black hole out violently.

Wherever the black hole passed, space shattered inch by inch, emitting a teeth-aching explosion.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue hurriedly dodged, but were still affected by the energy at the edge of the black hole, and several scorched wounds instantly appeared on their bodies.

"Damn, this old schemer's attack has some substance!" Ji Chen spat, and the golden light on his body dimmed quite a bit.

Ceng Yue was also not having a good time. Although she tried her best to resist, her body was still pushed back repeatedly by the energy impact, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Darkness surged like a tide, swallowing the surrounding light, and even their breathing became difficult.

Physical strength was rapidly draining, and the severe pain tortured their nerves like maggots on bones.

"Is it... really going to be over?" Ji Chen felt a sense of despair. He felt as if he were in a huge millstone, being ruthlessly crushed.

Just then, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky, illuminating his confusion.

"So that's it... so that's how it is!"

Ji Chen raised his head abruptly, an unprecedented light bursting from his eyes.

He frantically operated the energy in his body, and the golden light that had already dimmed erupted with dazzling brilliance once again, as dazzling as the sun.

"This... what is this?" The Mysterious Person looked at Ji Chen in shock. He could clearly feel that Ji Chen's power was growing at an incredible speed, and in an instant, it had surpassed all the Peak Stage Ability Users he had ever seen.

Ji Chen was covered in golden light, dispelling the surrounding darkness completely.

His momentum was like an unsheathed sharp sword, sharp and intimidating.

"You're insidious, now it's my turn!" Ji Chen roared, his figure turning into a golden lightning bolt, rushing toward the Mysterious Person.

His fists were clenched, carrying unparalleled power, and he slammed them onto the Mysterious Person's chest.

"Pfft!"

The Mysterious Person spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

"This... this is impossible!" The Mysterious Person struggled to stand up, but found that his body felt as if it were being pressed by a huge mountain, and he couldn't move at all.

"There is nothing impossible!" Ji Chen walked slowly to the Mysterious Person, looking down at him, a cold sneer curling his lips.

"Did you think you were the only one who could hide tricks?"

The Mysterious Person's eyes were filled with terror, and a rattling sound came from his throat, "You... who exactly are you?"

Ji Chen didn't answer, just slowly raised his hand.

"No..." The Mysterious Person let out a desperate roar.

However, Ji Chen's hand did not fall in the end.

"Ji Chen, be careful!" Ceng Yue's voice suddenly rang out.

Ceng Yue shouted, her figure flashing and appearing beside Ji Chen.

She was surrounded by ice-blue light, like an Ice Goddess descending to the mortal world.

She condensed an Ice Crystal Long Sword in her hand, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

"You dare to touch my man?"

The two fought side by side, like two sharp swords, surrounding the Mysterious Person.

Ji Chen's attacks were powerful and heavy, like cannonballs, bombarding the Mysterious Person's defense; Ceng Yue's attacks were light and elegant, like an ice and snow storm, constantly eroding the Mysterious Person's energy.

"Damn, this cooperation is simply seamless!" The onlookers exclaimed, as if watching a wonderful duet performance.

The Mysterious Person was beaten back by the two's attacks, his black robe tattered, revealing his pale face.

"This is impossible! You... how could you..."

"Stop the nonsense, go to hell!" Ji Chen threw a punch, and the golden light surged out like a volcanic eruption, slamming heavily onto the Mysterious Person's face.

"Ah!" The Mysterious Person let out a scream, his body flying backward like a cannonball, falling heavily to the ground, stirring up a sky full of dust.

"That's it? I thought you were how powerful!" Ji Chen clapped his hands and said with disdain.

"Don't be careless, he's not dead yet!" Ceng Yue reminded.

Sure enough, the Mysterious Person struggled to climb up from the ground, his black robe completely shattered, revealing his withered body.

A crazy light flashed in his eyes, and he let out a roar like a wild beast.

"I want you to die!"

An even more powerful energy erupted from the Mysterious Person's body, and the surrounding space began to vibrate violently.

"Damn, this old guy is going to release a big move!" Ji Chen's expression changed, and he hurriedly protected Ceng Yue behind him.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!" Ceng Yue's eyes were firm, the light on the Ice Crystal Long Sword in her hand flourished, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

"Hold your hand, and grow old with you." Ji Chen said affectionately.

"Follow each other in life and death, never leave or abandon." Ceng Yue responded.

Their love was like a dazzling light, illuminating the entire battlefield and shocking the heart of the Mysterious Person.

"Love? Ridiculous!" The Mysterious Person roared, but couldn't hide a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just then, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue attacked at the same time.

The golden light and the ice-blue light intertwined, forming a huge energy vortex, swallowing the Mysterious Person into it.

"Ah!"

After a shrill scream, everything returned to peace.

The smoke dissipated, and the Mysterious Person had disappeared without a trace.

"We won!"

The Supernatural World erupted with deafening cheers, and people rushed up, lifting Ji Chen and Ceng Yue high.

"Ji Chen!"

"Ceng Yue!"

Their names resounded throughout the Supernatural World, becoming an eternal legend.

However, amidst the cheers, Ji Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He felt that something was quietly awakening... ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
