Chapter 228 The Spirit Realm's First Arrival Brings Peril
As Zhuang Yu stepped into the Spirit Realm, the surrounding scenery immediately became hazy, with thick fog filling the air like a thin veil shrouding the entire world.
He could sense a peculiar spiritual energy fluctuation permeating the air, completely different from the outside world. This spiritual energy was purer and more violent, as if it contained endless energy.
He took a deep breath. The aura of the spirit world excited him, but at the same time, a strange sense of tension also arose.
He knew that this was a world full of opportunities and challenges, and that a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Zhuang Yu cautiously looked around. The thick fog obscured his vision, and he could only vaguely see some blurry outlines around him.
He channeled his spiritual energy to its limit and heightened his perception to the extreme, trying to detect any unusual movement.
Suddenly, a foul gust of wind swept over us, and a huge figure burst out from the thick fog, letting out a deafening roar.
It was a spirit beast resembling a giant wolf, its body covered in black scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen.
Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Zhuang Yu, and its sharp fangs were bared, radiating a chilling aura.
Zhuang Yu felt a chill run down his spine; danger!
He immediately circulated his spiritual energy, tensing all his muscles, ready for battle.
The air around them seemed to freeze because of the tense atmosphere, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
“Interesting…” Zhuang Yu’s lips curled up slightly.
A foul stench swept over them as a giant wolf-like monster opened its blood-red maw, its fangs gleaming coldly, and pounced on Zhuang Yu.
At the critical moment, Zhuang Yu's lips curled into a cold smile, and with a flick of his finger, a spiritual energy fluctuation that was barely perceptible to the naked eye spread out silently.
This is not an attack, but a subtle illusion that can briefly disrupt the enemy's perception.
The monster's massive body paused slightly in mid-air, a hint of confusion flashing in its crimson eyes.
This brief pause gave Zhuang Yu an excellent opportunity.
He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his figure drifting backward like a ghost, increasing the distance between himself and the monster.
In the thick fog, his figure appeared and disappeared, like a hunter toying with his prey, controlling the rhythm of the battle.
"Roar!" The monster quickly snapped out of its daze and, realizing its prey had escaped, let out an angry roar.
Its massive body suddenly shuddered, dispersing the surrounding thick fog and revealing its ferocious face.
The black scales reflected a cold, eerie light in the mist, like messengers from hell.
The monster pounced on Zhuang Yu again, faster and more ferocious than before.
Zhuang Yu dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
The monster's claws grazed his clothes, creating a sharp gust of wind that tore the rocks on the ground apart.
As he dodged the attack, Zhuang Yu struck out with his palm, sending a golden streak of spiritual energy shooting towards the demonic beast like an arrow.
The spiritual energy contained immense power, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it struck the demonic beast's chest.
With a deafening roar, golden spiritual energy exploded on the beast's chest, emitting a dazzling light.
However, surprisingly, the monster only swayed and did not suffer much damage.
Not even a scratch was left on its black scales, as if the powerful attack was just a tickle.
Zhuang Yu frowned slightly; the beast's defense was far beyond his expectations.
He originally thought this attack would be enough to severely injure his opponent, but it turned out to be just a test of his opponent's strength.
It seems that this battle is more difficult than he had anticipated.
His gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the magical beast, thinking to himself, "This is interesting..." Instead of continuing his attack, Zhuang Yu began circling the magical beast.
"Trying to escape?" the monster growled, and started spinning around with him.
Zhuang Yu's figure appeared and disappeared in the thick fog, moving around the giant wolf beast like a ghost.
The monster's crimson eyes were fixed on him, its massive body spinning clumsily, trying to keep up with Zhuang Yu's speed.
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering why Zhuang Yu wasn't facing him head-on, but instead seemed to be avoiding him.
Seeing this, Elder Baiyun sneered, "Hmph, nothing special, only good at playing petty tricks." Little Chen beside him chimed in, "Elder is right, this kid is just bluffing. He'll show his true colors as soon as he meets a real expert."
Only Wang Yao silently watched Zhuang Yu. She knew that Zhuang Yu would never speak without reason; he must be planning something in secret.
She could sense that Zhuang Yu exuded a powerful confidence, as if everything was under his control.
Zhuang Yu's speed increased, and the monster's vision gradually could not keep up with his movements.
It began to get agitated, letting out low growls, and each of its attacks missed, making it even more clumsy.
While dodging the monster's attacks, Zhuang Yu carefully observed its every move and every detail.
He was searching for the monster's weakness.
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu's gaze locked onto the area behind the monster's eyes.
There was a small scale there, its color slightly different, standing out from the surrounding black scales.
Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat; this might be the weakness of the magical beast!
He took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy to its maximum, a powerful force surging within him.
"Now!" Zhuang Yu condensed a dazzling golden light at his fingertips, and his spiritual power transformed into a sharp arrow, piercing the air as it shot straight behind the demonic beast's eyes.
"Roar!" The monster let out a miserable cry, its huge body suddenly staggering backward, a small crack appearing on its black scales.
Fresh blood gushed from the wound, staining the surrounding mist red.
Without pausing, Zhuang Yu gathered his spiritual power again, preparing to launch the next wave of attacks.
However, at that moment, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura coming from afar. He abruptly turned his head to look in the direction from which the aura came, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Who is it?"
The howls of the monsters gradually subsided, and the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the spirit realm.
Strange peaks and rocks stand tall, ancient trees reach for the sky, and exotic flowers and plants emit a shimmering light, making it completely different from anywhere Zhuang Yu had ever seen before.
The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy that was refreshing and invigorating.
Just then, Zhuang Yu's gaze was drawn to a point of light not far away.
It was a cave, the entrance of which was not large, but it was shrouded in a faint golden light, which flickered like breathing, making it seem mysterious and unpredictable.
Within the golden light, some strange runes could be vaguely seen flowing, emanating an ancient and powerful aura.
“Interesting…” Zhuang Yu strode towards the cave.
The ground beneath my feet was soft and springy, like stepping on thick moss, each step silent.
The surrounding air was fresh and moist, carrying a faint fragrance of grass and trees, which was refreshing and invigorating.
As Zhuang Yu approached, the golden light emanating from the cave grew stronger, and the runes flowed faster, as if foreshadowing something.
Zhuang Yu could sense a strange energy fluctuation coming from the cave, which made him feel both excited and uneasy.
He reached out, wanting to touch the golden light.
The moment his fingertips touched the golden light, a powerful force repelled him.
Zhuang Yu staggered back a few steps, regaining his balance. This force was not offensive, but rather a restriction, preventing anyone from entering the cave.
"A restriction?" Zhuang Yu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "It seems this cave is indeed not simple." He did not give up, but instead became even more excited.
He circled the cave, carefully observing the golden light and runes, trying to find a way to break the seal.
"Let me see just how powerful your restriction really is..." Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly. He took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power within his body, and prepared to forcibly break the restriction.
Just then, he suddenly felt an even more powerful force surging out of the cave, a force that was stronger and more mysterious than the previous restrictions.
Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He stopped moving, his gaze fixed on the cave, and said in a deep voice, "This..."
