Chapter 99: Victory Glory

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue crashed heavily to the ground, gravel flying and dust filling the air.

A metallic, fishy taste surged in their throats, and blood flowed down the corners of their mouths, staining their collars red.

They struggled to crawl up, every inch of their bodies screaming in pain. Their Supernatural Ability consumption had reached its limit, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness swept over them.

The smoke cleared, and the monster remained standing, like a demon god from hell, looking down at them with a mocking expression.

The massive wound on its abdomen was slowly healing, emitting a disgusting sizzling sound, as if mocking their overestimation of their own abilities.

"Is that it? Is that it? Your combat power isn't even enough to scratch this master's itch!" The monster let out a deafening roar, and the surrounding buildings trembled, as if they could collapse at any moment.

"Hiss... this guy is really difficult to deal with!" Ji Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and endured the intense pain in his body.

He felt a wave of dizziness, and the world before his eyes seemed to blur.

But he knew he couldn't fall; he had to protect Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue's face was as pale as paper; she bit her lip tightly, trying hard not to let out a painful groan.

Her Supernatural Ability was also almost exhausted, and every cell in her body was protesting.

She looked at the mountain-like monster before her, and for the first time, a feeling of despair arose in her heart.

"Can we... really win?" she murmured in a low voice, her voice carrying a hint of trembling.

Ji Chen turned to look at Ceng Yue. He knew he had to give her strength, give her hope.

He took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and revealed a confident smile.

"Of course we can win! We're barely getting started, aren't we? Back in the day..."

"Boom—" A loud bang interrupted Ji Chen's words.

The earth shook violently, as if something were surging from the depths of the ground.

Before Ji Chen could finish speaking, the shaking of the ground grew more intense, as if some behemoth were about to burst forth from the ground.

An unprecedented energy fluctuation came from the depths of the ground, making one feel a sense of palpitations.

"What the hell is that?" Ji Chen frowned, staring vigilantly at the ground.

He could feel that this energy fluctuation was completely different from the evil power the monster had exuded before; instead, it carried a hint of an ancient and mysterious aura.

Ceng Yue's face also became grave. Her originally pale cheeks flushed slightly, as if the residual Supernatural Ability within her body was stimulated by this energy fluctuation and began to become active.

Ji Chen looked at the unease in Ceng Yue's eyes, his mouth curling slightly, revealing a confident smile: "A mere big lizard, what's there to be afraid of? Back in the day, I..." He paused deliberately, then said loudly, "I am the one who will become the Ability King!"

Ceng Yue was amused by Ji Chen's tone, and her originally tense nerves relaxed a little.

She knew that Ji Chen always had a way to create miracles.

She took a deep breath, her gaze becoming firm, and reignited her fighting spirit: "I am the one who will become the Ability Queen! Then... let's go together!"

Ji Chen felt the fighting spirit reignited in Ceng Yue, and a powerful force surged in his heart.

He pushed his Supernatural Ability to the limit, and dazzling light began to radiate from around his body.

He could feel the energy within his body surging crazily, as if it were about to burst out.

He knew it was time to use that move!

"Ceng Yue, are you ready?" Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful, filled with determination.

"Yeah!" Ceng Yue didn't hesitate, releasing all her remaining Supernatural Ability and intertwining it with Ji Chen's power.

In an instant, the two powerful Supernatural Abilities converged, forming an unprecedented energy storm. The surrounding air trembled violently, emitting a piercing whistling sound.

"Combined Technique! Die, you bastard!" Ji Chen roared, and he and Ceng Yue joined forces to release an unprecedented energy beam, blasting toward the monster with the momentum of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

The monster didn't even have time to react before it was struck by this powerful force, instantly turning into ashes, not even leaving a trace of residue.

The air was filled with rich energy fluctuations, as if it were a victory horn, celebrating for them.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood in the center of the energy storm, looking at each other and smiling, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

However, just at this moment, a massive crack suddenly appeared in the sky above them.

The crack grew larger and larger, like a giant beast opening its bloody maw, intending to swallow the entire world.

Within the pitch-black crack, heart-palpitating energy surged, as if some terrifying existence were about to descend.

"Holy shit! What's going on?" Ji Chen couldn't help but curse. The joy of victory was instantly diluted, replaced by deep vigilance.

He subconsciously shielded Ceng Yue behind him, his gaze fixed on the crack, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Ceng Yue also felt this suffocating sense of oppression. She held Ji Chen's hand tightly, and the warm power from his palm made her feel much more at ease.

"Be careful, this feeling... is even more dangerous than that monster just now."

Ji Chen gave her a firm look: "Don't worry, I'm here." He could feel that this mysterious power far exceeded any enemy they had encountered before, but at this moment, he felt no fear, but rather an inexplicable excitement.

The Supernatural Ability within his body was restless, as if craving a hearty battle.

"Chen, I..." Ceng Yue leaned on Ji Chen's shoulder, her eyes filled with trust.

Ji Chen patted her hand gently and said softly: "Don't be afraid, we'll face it together."

The two stood side by side, gazing firmly at the crack, ready to face any challenge.

The surrounding air felt as if it had solidified, and the tense atmosphere was ready to explode at any moment.

However, just then, the energy surging from the crack suddenly stopped, rapidly receding like a tide.

"Huh? What's going on?" Ji Chen frowned, filled with doubt.

Could it be that they had sensed it wrong?

Before they could figure out the situation, the surrounding space suddenly began to twist, like a shattered mirror, presenting countless fragmented scenes.

"Holy shit! What kind of trick is this?" Ji Chen exclaimed, subconsciously pulling Ceng Yue into his arms.

The space twisted faster and faster, and the surrounding scenery became blurred, as if intending to swallow them up.

"Chen..." Ceng Yue held Ji Chen tightly, feeling the warmth from his body, her heart filled with unease.

"It's okay, don't be afraid..." Ji Chen's voice trembled slightly, but he still held Ceng Yue tightly, giving her strength and a sense of security.

Just then, a powerful suction came, pulling them into the twisted space.

"Hold on to me!" Ji Chen shouted... ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
