Chapter 25 Ruins Crisis and Awakening of Power
Xuan Yuanche and Su Yao raced against time to set up the formation, sweat dripping from their foreheads onto the ancient ground. As the lines of the formation gradually became complete, the crystal ball began to flash intensely, as if resisting the impending constraints.
The rumbling outside grew closer, indicating that the mysterious force had clearly breached part of the outer defenses of the ruins. Xuan Yuanche was anxious. He knew that once the enemy broke in, they would be in a very passive position in this confined space, and if the power of the crystal ball went out of control, the entire ruins could collapse, burying everyone inside.
Su Yao placed the last few jade stones imbued with spiritual energy at the key nodes of the formation, chanted incantations, and activated the formation. In an instant, a golden light curtain rose from the ground, enveloping the crystal ball. Xuan Yuanche concentrated his energy, continuously channeling his inner strength into the formation, attempting to establish a connection with and tame the power within the crystal ball.
However, the power within the crystal ball was extremely violent, constantly impacting the array's light barrier. Each impact caused Xuan Yuanche a sharp pain in his chest. Seeing this, Su Yao hurriedly came to Xuan Yuanche's side and poured her own spiritual power into it, merging with Xuan Yuanche's inner force to jointly resist the crystal ball's resistance.
Just as they were struggling to hold on, the gate to the ruins was blasted open by a powerful impact, and a group of mysterious people dressed in black robes and wearing eerie masks rushed in. When they saw the crystal ball shrouded in an array, their eyes gleamed with greed.
"Hand over the crystal ball, or you will all die a horrible death!" the mysterious leader roared in a low voice. Xuan Yuanche gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't even think about it! This power must not fall into the hands of you evil bastards!"
The mysterious figure snorted coldly and led his men to charge towards Xuan Yuanche and his companions. Left with no other choice, Xuan Yuanche divided his attention between controlling the formation and drawing his sword to meet the attack. The warriors also raised their weapons and engaged the mysterious figure in a fierce battle.
Because Xuan Yuanche was distracted, the crystal ball's power broke through a corner of the formation, and a powerful energy wave spread outwards. Those on both sides who were close were blasted away by this energy wave, and many were seriously injured.
Su Yao knew that if she didn't tame the crystal ball quickly, the situation would spiral out of control. Ignoring the danger, she rushed into the formation, gripping the crystal ball tightly with both hands. The crystal ball's power instantly surged into her body, and she began to radiate a soft light, counteracting the crystal ball's violent brilliance.
Xuanyuan Che was shocked by Su Yao's actions, but he also understood that this might be the only chance to tame the crystal ball. He fought back the enemies around him and then rushed into the formation to fight alongside Su Yao.
Through their combined efforts, the power of the crystal ball was gradually tamed, beginning to merge with their spiritual and internal energy. A powerful energy shield formed around their bodies, not only resisting the mysterious man's attacks but also stabilizing the power within the crystal ball.
Seeing the situation was dire, the mysterious figures tried to escape the ruins. But Xuan Yuanche was not about to let them go so easily. He manipulated the fused power, unleashing beams of energy that knocked the mysterious figures down one by one.
With the fall of the last mysterious figure, tranquility temporarily returned to the ruins. Xuan Yuanche and Su Yao successfully tamed the power within the crystal ball, but they knew that the awakening of this power was only the beginning. They needed to bring this power back to their nation and use it wisely to deal with potential future crises.
Before leaving the ruins, they explored them and discovered some ancient records about this power. It turned out that this power was left behind by the ancient gods; it could be used to transform the world and save all living beings, but if used by evil, it could also plunge the world into endless darkness.
Carrying the crystal ball and these precious records, Xuanyuan Che and Su Yao embarked on their journey home. They knew that upon returning to their country, much remained to be done, including explaining everything to their subjects, cultivating talent capable of controlling this power, and guarding against the covetousness of other forces. Their love and responsibility would continue to be tested in these challenges, becoming the solid foundation upon which they would protect their nation and its people.
