Chapter 290: The Rift Abyss and the Mysterious Legacy
Lín Jìn and Ling Yue, amid a fierce battle, were suddenly hit by an intensifying Dimensional Zigong spasm; a massive energy rift opened, its powerful suction like a demon's maw, trying to devour them. Lín Jìn, quick-eyed and swift-handed, seized a protruding energy vein nearby and simultaneously reached out to firmly grasp Ling Yue.
"Hold on!" Lín Jìn shouted loudly, as howling gale nearly drowned his voice. At that moment, the Observers were likewise affected by the rift's suction; many were swept directly into the rift and vanished.
Ling Yue's complexion turned pale; one hand was tightly clasped by Lín Jìn, the other gripped the sword hilt, using the blade's resistance as it pierced the energy vein to counter the suction. Yet the pull grew stronger, and their bodies began to slide uncontrollably toward the rift.
Just as the two were about to lose their footing, Lín Jìn suddenly sensed a disturbance within the Seed Core. Ao Li's lingering soul power surged, seemingly transmitting some information. Lín Jìn focused his mind, striving to decipher it, and an ancient method of wielding power instantly flashed in his thoughts.
Lín Jìn had no time to think further; following the lingering soul's transmission, he mobilized his internal power to form an energy shield around the two. The shield temporarily blocked the suction, allowing them to steady themselves.
"Lín Jìn, how did you do that?" Ling Yue asked in surprise, eyes full of amazement and curiosity.
"It was Ao Li's lingering soul power; it just transmitted a method to me," Lín Jìn explained briefly, his full attention on maintaining the energy shield, sweat beading across his forehead.
However, though the energy shield temporarily blocked the pull, the rift's suction was overwhelmingly strong, and the shield began to develop fine cracks. Lín Jìn knew this was not a lasting solution; they had to quickly find a way out of the predicament.
He looked around and noticed a certain pattern in the energy flow surrounding the rift. If they could guide the suction along the direction of the energy flow, perhaps a way out could be found.
"Ling Yue, listen to me. We'll try to guide the suction along the direction of the rift's energy flow; maybe we can find a way out," Lín Jìn said loudly, his voice firm and strong.
Ling Yue gave a slight nod, indicating understanding. The two focused their minds, using their own power, carefully guiding the suction. Through their effort, the direction of the pull gradually shifted, no longer dragging them straight into the rift.
Following the altered suction direction, Lín Jìn and Ling Yue discovered a relatively weak energy zone. They exchanged a glance, eyes filled with resolve. "Charge!" Lín Jìn shouted, and the two lowered their shield, sprinting with all their might toward the weak energy area.
Just as they were about to reach the weak energy zone, a horde of strange beings made of energy surged from the rift, lunging at them. These creatures resembled draconic serpents, encircled by lightning, baring fangs and claws, their aura fierce.
"Damn, these guys are causing trouble!" Ling Yue said angrily, the tangible sword formed from coagulated breast milk blazing brightly in her hand.
Lín Jìn gripped the Abyss Return Ruler, "Ignore them, charge!" The two, unafraid, surged toward the strange creature swarm. As the Abyss Return Ruler and Breast Milk Sword swung, flashes of light flickered, engaging the creatures in a deadly clash.
During the fierce battle, Lín Jìn and Ling Yue gradually closed in on the weak energy zone. Yet the strange creatures multiplied, continuously pouring from the rift, making their advance exceedingly difficult.
At that moment, Lín Jìn suddenly realized the strange creatures were highly sensitive to a specific energy Pinqü. He swiftly adjusted the Abyss Return Ruler's energy Pinqü, emitting a unique pulse. The creatures, as if stimulated, retreated en masse, creating a brief chaos.
"Now's the time!" Ling Yue shouted, and the two seized the chance to break through the creatures' blockade, successfully reaching the weak energy zone. The suction here was markedly weaker, and they escaped the rift's threat.
After escaping danger, Lín Jìn and Ling Yue found themselves in a relatively tranquil space. At its center stood an ancient stone platform, upon which rested a tome emitting a gentle glow.
Lín Jìn and Ling Yue approached the platform cautiously; the tome's light illuminated their faces, appearing mysterious and solemn. Lín Jìn gently opened the book, its pages covered with ancient script and enigmatic diagrams.
After some deciphering, they were astonished to discover that the tome contained further interpretation and application of the Hongjun Three-Body Algorithm Core, and also recorded a method for cultivating a mysterious power capable of completely destroying the Observer's conspiracy core.
"This may be the key to fully breaking the Observer's conspiracy," Lín Jìn said excitedly, hope flashing in his eyes.
Ling Yue nodded eagerly, "We must learn this power."
However, cultivating this mysterious power is no easy task; it requires enduring numerous trials. These trials challenge not only their strength but also forge their will.
Just as Lín Jìn and Ling Yue were about to begin cultivation, the space violently trembled. Powerful energy beams shot in from all directions, targeting them.
"Looks like the trial has begun," Lín Jìn said, gripping the Abyss Return Ruler tightly, his gaze steady on the incoming beams. Ling Yue also clenched the Breast Milk Sword, ready for battle.
A new challenge unfolds in this mysterious space; will Lín Jìn and Ling Yue successfully pass the trial, master the mysterious power, and fully thwart the Observer's conspiracy? Everything remains uncertain…
