Chapter 87: Breaking Through Dangers and Barriers, Peak Glory

Ji Chen stood before the energy door like a general about to go on an expedition, taking a deep breath. The surrounding air seemed to have been inhaled into his lungs, solidifying like jelly.

He could feel the surging power within the energy door, like magma on the eve of a volcanic eruption, restless yet carrying a fatal attraction.

This feeling was like a save point before a BOSS room in a game, making one both excited and nervous.

He tentatively reached out his hand, and the moment he touched the energy door, a tingling sensation like an electric current instantly swept through his entire body.

This feeling was like being hit by a 100,000-volt high-voltage shock, so refreshing it almost made him jump into a breakdance on the spot.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, forcibly enduring this wave of energy impact.

His body felt as if it had been thrown into a meat grinder, his internal organs churning, so painful he wished he could die on the spot.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood sprayed from Ji Chen's mouth, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air and landing on the ground like blooming blood-colored roses.

His legs trembled slightly, forcibly enduring the intense pain in his body, staring fixedly at the energy door before him with his firm, steel-like eyes.

This feeling was like playing a game with ultra-high difficulty, where you were clearly low on health but still had to bite the bullet and go up.

Ceng Yue saw this, her heart tightening, wanting to step forward to help, but was stopped by Ji Chen with a wave of his hand.

He signaled Ceng Yue with his eyes not to act rashly; the strength and backlash of this energy door were definitely not something she, an Intermediate Ability User, could withstand.

Ji Chen tried to reach his hand toward the energy door again. This time he mobilized his entire supernatural ability, the energy within his body like a surging river, powerful and surging.

His muscles were tense, like a leopard ready to pounce, preparing to give the energy door a ruthless hit.

He let out a low roar, his eyes blood-red, as if about to burn, and slammed his hand onto the energy door.

However, just when he thought he was about to succeed, a more intense counter-shock force suddenly came from the energy door.

Ji Chen was hit as if by a heavy hammer, flying backward and falling heavily to the ground with a loud "bang."

"Cough, cough..." Ji Chen struggled to crawl up from the ground, bloodstains still remaining on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were even firmer.

He looked at the energy door that was still standing firm and muttered in a low voice: "A bit interesting..." The energy door seemed to have come alive, like a spoiled boss, beginning to conduct crazy resistance to Ji Chen's invasion.

Its surface flickered with bizarre light, occasionally releasing thin energy tentacles like poisonous snakes, attempting to drive Ji Chen away completely.

These tentacles were like an octopus's tentacles, fast and ruthless, making a "swish, swish" whistling sound when cutting through the air, making one's scalp tingle.

Ji Chen was like playing a dodgeball game, dodging left and right, his figure as agile as a loach.

Every contact was accompanied by intense energy impact and stinging pain, as if countless needles were pricking his skin.

He could feel his supernatural ability being constantly devoured by the energy door, like the blue bar crazily dropping in a game, simply maddening.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, and in his firm eyes, two balls of raging fire seemed to be ignited, the unyielding spirit completely stimulated.

The two were deadlocked, the atmosphere in the air tense to the extreme, as if it could explode at any moment.

The surrounding ground cracked into spiderweb-like fissures under the intense energy fluctuations, dust flying, making it impossible to see each other.

Suddenly, a realization from the previous battle flashed through Ji Chen's mind, like a sudden enlightenment, instantly opening up.

He no longer dispersed his supernatural ability blindly as before, but like a precision engineer, began to gather all the supernatural ability in his body onto his palm, forming a highly compressed energy point.

His palm began to emit dazzling light, like a small sun, making people afraid to look directly at it.

"Boom!" He let out a roar, like a lion's roar, and slammed his palm onto the energy door.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped, all sounds had disappeared, leaving only the harsh roar of energy collision.

That indestructible energy door finally began to crack under Ji Chen's powerful force, like a shattered piece of glass, finally shattering with a crash.

Ji Chen looked at the shattered energy door before him, his lips curling slightly, revealing a smile full of a sense of achievement.

At this moment, he felt as if he had reached the peak of his life, filled with the joy of victory.

The surrounding energy began to surge crazily, like the angry waves of the sea, crazily sweeping toward him, making one feel suffocated.

Just as he was preparing to welcome this powerful energy, a low voice rang out from behind the door.

"Who disturbed my beautiful dream?" The space behind the energy door twisted, smoke filling the air, looking exactly like the special effects before the start of a stage play.

A figure slowly emerged, tall and burly, exuding suffocating pressure, like a demon king crawling out from the depths of hell, eerie and terrifying.

"Who disturbed my beautiful dream?" That voice was low and hoarse, like two rusty iron sheets rubbing together, making one's teeth ache.

Ji Chen met the Demon King's gaze without fear, his lips curling into a look of disdain: "Your grandpa!" This was no ordinary provocation; this was a provocation carrying system rewards and the protagonist's halo!

The Demon King was clearly enraged, letting out a deafening roar like an angry beast, waving his huge fists and smashing toward Ji Chen with the momentum to destroy everything.

This fist was simply bigger than a sandbag; if hit, he would probably die on the spot.

Ji Chen flashed, dodging the attack like a ghost, his speed so fast he left only a residual shadow.

He wasn't a fool; head-on collision was the behavior of a reckless man, and he was a technical player.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, as intense as Mars hitting the Earth.

Every attack of the Demon King carried the momentum to destroy the world; the ground trembled, the air tore, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Ji Chen was like an agile monkey, wandering in the gaps of the Demon King's attacks, occasionally giving counterattacks, beating the Demon King until he howled.

"Go Brother Chen! Brother Chen must win!" Ceng Yue waved her small fists from the side, her voice small but full of power, like a strong buff added to Ji Chen.

The surrounding air was filled with the power of love, making Ji Chen feel full of power, his combat effectiveness instantly soaring.

The battle lasted for a long time. Ji Chen constantly broke through himself in the battle, and his originally heaven-defying energy absorption ability became even more powerful, like having a hack, absorbing the Demon King's energy and using it for himself.

The Demon King retreated step by step, finally letting out an unwilling roar and turning into a ball of black mist and dissipating.

Ji Chen stood at the peak of victory, bathed in golden light, like a god descending, majestic and awe-inspiring.

He obtained a huge supernatural ability improvement, directly breaking through to the Peak Stage, and also obtained a mysterious treasure, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

After enjoying the moment of glory, Ji Chen suddenly felt the surrounding space twist...

He narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "What's the situation?" ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
