Chapter 156: Defeat the Dark Abyss and Return with Glory
The dark barrier stood quietly in front of Bi Yao and Li Yuan like a giant beast that devoured everything.
The strange runes flowing on the surface of the barrier pulsated like blood vessels, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
Both of them could feel the dark aura surging behind the barrier, which was stronger and more heart-wrenching than ever before.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, and the sword in his hand shone brightly, and the sword body emitted bursts of dragon roars.
"Yaoyao, be careful!" He shouted softly, and the sword light struck the barrier like thunder.
However, the sword energy that was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks was like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing without a trace without even causing a ripple.
On the surface of the barrier, the runes flashed faster and faster, and a powerful recoil force pushed Li Yuan back several steps.
"Cough cough..." Li Yuan covered his chest, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
This barrier is not only indestructible, but also has a strange backlash force.
"Let me try." Bi Yao frowned, formed seals with her hands, and complex and mysterious runes flew out from her fingertips and crashed into the barrier like fireflies.
However, these runes, like Li Yuan's sword energy, were swallowed by the barrier and had no effect.
The backlash force hit again, Bi Yao groaned, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"We can't go on like this!" Li Yuan supported the shaky Bi Yao and said anxiously, "We must find another way!"
They tried various methods, including talismans, magic weapons, and even the technological weapons brought by Bi Yao from modern times, but nothing worked.
Every attempt would only increase the strength of the backlash, consume their spiritual power, and aggravate their injuries.
Bi Yao's clothes were stained with blood and her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes remained firm.
Li Yuan's condition was not much better. His breathing was disordered and there were wounds deep enough to see the bones on his body.
"Are... we really going to stop here?" There was a hint of despair in Li Yuan's voice.
Bi Yao gritted her teeth and scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, her eyes stopped at the storage bag at her waist, and her heart moved...
"and many more……"
A gleam of light flashed in Bi Yao's eyes, and she quickly took out a few beads emitting a dim light from her storage bag.
"These are... dark beads!" Li Yuan recognized these beads at a glance. They were the ones they had collected from the dark creatures before, and they contained rich dark power.
"That's right," Bi Yao said firmly, "Fighting poison with poison might work!" She injected her spiritual power into the bead, and the power of darkness surged wildly like an awakened beast.
Bi Yao guided this power and merged it with Li Yuan's sword energy.
Two completely different forces collided and merged with each other, forming an even more powerful energy fluctuation.
"Boom!" The fused force slammed heavily on the barrier, and this time, cracks finally appeared on the barrier.
Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly, and with a deafening roar, the barrier shattered.
Behind the barrier was a huge dark vortex. In the center of the vortex, a huge figure slowly emerged.
It was a dark demon god who was a hundred feet tall, shrouded in a thick dark aura, with a hideous face and bloodshot eyes, like a demon from hell.
The demon god let out an earth-shaking roar, and a destructive force swept over.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan dodged quickly, but the speed of the force was too fast. Even though they tried their best to dodge, they were still affected.
The two men spat out blood at the same time, and their bodies flew backwards like kites with broken strings.
"What a powerful force!" Li Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face solemn.
The demon roared again, and a huge ball of dark energy condensed in his hand, smashing towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Wherever the energy ball passed, the space began to distort and deform, as if it was about to be torn apart.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan didn't dare to take it head-on and could only dodge again.
The energy ball flew past their bodies and flattened the mountain behind them.
"We can't go on like this, we must find its weakness!" Bi Yao dodged the demon's attacks while thinking quickly about countermeasures.
The demon's attacks became more and more fierce, and Bi Yao and Li Yuan's situation became more and more dangerous.
At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly discovered that every time the demon god attacked, a faint light would flash across his chest...
"Li Yuan, look at its chest!" Bi Yao pointed at the demon's chest and said hurriedly.
Li Yuan followed Bi Yao's gaze and also noticed the faint light.
"That is..." His eyes narrowed, "Could it be..."
Li Yuan's eyes were also fixed on the flickering light, and he suddenly understood.
"It's its weakness! That's the hub where it absorbs the power of darkness!"
The two looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
Bi Yao quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A huge golden magic circle unfolded under her feet. The brilliant golden light dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the entire battlefield like daylight.
At the same time, Li Yuan also used all his strength to activate his spiritual power. The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and a golden dragon phantom hovered on the sword, making an earth-shaking dragon roar.
The demon god sensed the changes in the surrounding environment and let out an angry roar.
The dark aura on it began to fluctuate, and its power was significantly weakened.
Without the support of the dark environment, its power quickly dried up like a river with its source cut off.
"Now!" Bi Yao shouted, and the golden light magic circle expanded instantly, covering the demon god.
In the magic circle, countless golden runes were like flying butterflies, constantly attacking the demon's body and weakening its power.
Li Yuan seized the opportunity, and the long sword in his hand turned into a golden lightning, piercing the weak spot on the demon god's chest that was flashing with light.
"Roar!" The demon god let out a shrill scream, and his huge body began to tremble violently.
The dark aura on it was like boiling water, rolling violently and finally exploding.
The shock wave generated by the explosion swept across the entire battlefield. Bi Yao and Li Yuan quickly joined forces to erect a defensive barrier, barely able to withstand this destructive force.
When the dust settled, the demon's figure had disappeared, leaving only black fragments on the ground.
The dark forces were completely eliminated, and the world of immortals returned to its former tranquility and peace.
Cheers resounded throughout the world, and all the cultivators cheered for the victory of Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
The two of them stood side by side, accepting the admiration and praise of the crowd, as if they were a pair of gods descending to earth.
However, at this moment of celebration, Bi Yao suddenly felt something strange.
She looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky had become gloomy at some point, and a strange aura permeated the air.
She turned to look at Li Yuan, only to find that Li Yuan's expression had also become serious.
"Yaoyao, do you feel it?" Li Yuan said in a low voice.
Bi Yao nodded without saying anything, but just held Li Yuan's hand tightly.
An inexplicable feeling of unease welled up in her heart. She felt that although the world of immortal heroes had returned to peace, some subtle changes had also occurred because of this battle...
"What... is going on?" Bi Yao muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on a mountain that suddenly rose from the ground in the distance. The mountain was completely black and exuded a terrifying aura...
