Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 225 Breaking the Barrier

Within the valley, the spiritual barrier, seemingly tangible, finally cracked with a subtle "crack" thanks to the expedition team's tireless efforts. Then, like a giant mirror shattered by an invisible hand, the barrier crumbled, disintegrating into tiny specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the air. An unprecedented surge of spiritual energy erupted, like a flashing flash of water or a tsunami, shocking everyone present.

Yun Yi stood at the forefront. The moment he felt the surge of spiritual energy, his body trembled involuntarily. He looked up and saw the legendary Lingyun Pearl suspended in mid-air, more dazzling and pure than ever before. Its light seemed to penetrate time and space, illuminating the depths of Yun Yi's soul, leaving him with an unprecedented sense of shock and awe.

"We... really did it!" Yun Yi's voice trembled slightly, and he could hardly believe his eyes. Beside him, Arya was also shocked. She squeezed Yun Yi's hand tightly, as if to confirm the truth of all this. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Yes, we did it." Feng Wuhen slowly walked over to the two of them. His voice was calm and firm, but his eyes were filled with excitement. He looked up at the Lingyun Pearl, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "But this is not the end, it's just the beginning."

As soon as the words fell, a strange humming sound suddenly erupted, like the sound of an ancient bell echoing through the valley. Immediately afterwards, strange waves of spiritual energy began to surge through the valley, like the pulse of the earth, the breath of the sky. Everyone was startled and quickly turned to look. They saw creatures formed from pure spiritual energy slowly emerging around the Lingyun Pearl.

These spiritual beings took on diverse forms. Some resembled eagles, wings gleaming with silver light, ready to take flight; others resembled majestic lions, their manes bristling, emanating a menacing aura; and still others resembled ethereal, translucent ghosts, seemingly poised to vanish into thin air at any moment. The spiritual energy they emanated was powerful and dangerous, instilling a sense of dread.

"Are these... spiritual creatures?" Kevin's eyes widened. He had never seen such strange creatures before, and he felt both astonished and curious. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the spiritual weapon in his hand and watched these creatures warily.

"That's right," Feng Wuhen said in a deep voice, his eyes becoming serious. "They are the guardians of the spiritual barrier and also the guardians of the Lingyun Pearl. It seems that if we want to get close to the Lingyun Pearl, we have to get past them first."

As if sensing the threat from the expedition, the spiritual creatures let out low growls, sounds like the roars of wild beasts, or the whispers of the wind. Then, they suddenly rushed towards the expedition with astonishing speed. They released razor-sharp spiritual rays that sliced through the air like swords, or unleashed various strange abilities in an attempt to prevent the expedition from reaching the Lingyun Pearl.

Yun Yi reacted quickly, dodging the incoming spiritual energy beam with a single flash. Simultaneously, he summoned his spiritual weapon—a longsword gleaming with a cold light. He gripped the sword tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Everyone, be careful! These spiritual creatures are not simple!"

Arya wasn't to be outdone. With a wave of her hands, fiery crimson psychic flames instantly ignited, forming a blazing wall of fire. The flames within the wall leaped and tumbled, as if full of life. She stood behind the wall, coldly gazing at the psychic creatures that tried to approach. "Come! I'll show you the power of my flames!"

Kevin summoned a massive psychic shield, gleaming with a blue light, as if imbued with boundless power. Standing behind it, he shielded his teammates from attacks from all directions. Meanwhile, he constantly sought opportunities to strike back. If a psychic creature showed a flaw, he would swiftly attack and repel it.

Feng Wuhen was the backbone of the entire team. His figure was graceful, moving across the battlefield like a ghost. Whenever a powerful spiritual attack came, he would appear in time, using his unfathomable spiritual power to neutralize it. His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under his control.

However, the number of psychic creatures was simply too great, and they seemed to possess an infinite amount of spiritual power. New creatures constantly appeared and joined the battle. Although the expedition team was quite powerful, they seemed somewhat overwhelmed by such a large enemy group.

"This isn't a solution!" Yun Yi shouted, brandishing his sword. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his breathing became rapid. "We must find their weakness! Defeat them once and for all!"

"That's right!" Arya agreed. Although her flame power was formidable, she still felt a bit overwhelmed by the endless stream of psychic creatures. "Everyone, pay close attention! See if these psychic creatures have any common characteristics or weaknesses!"

At Yun Yi and Arya's reminder, the expedition team members began to observe these spiritual creatures more carefully. They found that although these creatures had different forms and abilities, their spiritual energy fluctuations seemed to originate from a common core - the Lingyun Pearl!
