"It's...life energy!" Ning Yu took a deep breath and shouted the words with almost all his strength. This familiar feeling was clearly from the same source as the life energy he possessed, only it was more ancient, more powerful, and more...violent.
Could it be that this rampant force actually originates from ancient life energy? And how did the person controlling it manage to do so?
A terrifying thought flashed through Ning Yu's mind, sending chills down his spine. If this was true, then behind this disaster might lie a horrific conspiracy capable of destroying the world!
Ning Yu knew he had to find a solution as soon as possible. Despite his serious injuries, he began to carefully search for every possible clue within the range of the mysterious power.
He clung to the rock face, each step feeling like walking on a knife's edge. The excruciating pain was constant, and his vision blurred intermittently, but he dared not stop, for he knew time was running out.
"There must be a way... there must be..." Ning Yu told himself over and over again. He observed his surroundings, trying to find any clues.
On the ground, the black runes still flickered with an eerie light, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench—the stench of life energy that had been distorted.
Suddenly, Ning Yu's gaze froze. Not far from him, a huge black sphere hovered in mid-air, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
That is... the core of a mysterious power!
Despite the excruciating pain in his body, Ning Yu walked step by step toward the black sphere. He reached out, attempting to use his special ability to sense its internal structure, but encountered fierce resistance.
Two powerful forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. Ning Yu groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
He gritted his teeth, pushed his superpowers to the limit, and frantically rushed towards the black sphere.
"Break!" Ning Yu roared, channeling all his power into the black sphere...
Ning Yu felt an immense force rebound back at him, as if an ancient behemoth had awakened from its slumber and launched a ferocious attack. His consciousness was instantly pulled into a state of chaos, and his ears were filled with a deafening roar.
"boom--"
A violent explosion erupted around the black sphere, like a miniature sun being born and then annihilated in an instant. The shockwave from the explosion swept across the entire space, instantly vaporizing the surrounding rocks and tearing huge cracks into the ground.
Ning Yu was thrown high into the air by this powerful force, tumbling like a fallen leaf being ravaged by a gale. He felt as if his body was being torn apart, his internal organs displaced, and the intense pain almost made him faint.
But one belief always sustained him: he couldn't fall, he couldn't fall! This disaster wasn't over yet, and countless lives were waiting for him to save!
He struggled to maintain his last shred of consciousness, controlling his body and trying to slow his descent. Finally, he crashed heavily into a pile of rubble, everything went black, and he lost consciousness completely.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Yu groggily woke up. He felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if countless ants were gnawing at him, and every cell was groaning in agony.
"Cough cough..." He coughed a few times, trying to spit out the blood stuck in his throat, but found that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.
"Ning Yu! Ning Yu! How are you?"
Hearing Mu Xue's anxious shouts, Ning Yu struggled to open his heavy eyelids. Through his blurred vision, he saw Mu Xue and the other team members' anxious faces.
"I...I'm still alive..." Ning Yu squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, using all his strength.
"That's great! You're finally awake!" Mu Xue cried tears of joy, tightly gripping Ning Yu's hand as if she had grasped a lifeline.
Ning Yu wanted to comfort her, but found he didn't even have the strength to speak. He struggled to stand up, but felt as if his body was falling apart and wouldn't obey his commands.
"Don't move, you're badly injured, don't speak yet." Mu Xue quickly supported him, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.
Ning Yu shook his head weakly. He knew this was not the time to rest. He endured the excruciating pain, trying to concentrate and sense his surroundings.
The energy source of the mysterious power still hovered in mid-air. Although its light was dimmer than before, it still emitted a chilling energy fluctuation.
“It must be… completely resolved…” Ning Yu uttered these words with difficulty, his eyes filled with determination.
Amidst the anxious shouts of his teammates, Ning Yu stood up again. He had devised a risky plan: to fuse his supernatural abilities with the energy source of the mysterious power, and then destroy it from within. Again, amidst the anxious cries of his teammates, Ning Yu shakily rose to his feet. He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with unwavering resolve. "Danger! No!" His teammates cried out in desperation, trying to stop him, but Ning Yu seemed not to hear them. He stared intently at the black sphere in mid-air, his mind already made up.
"I will merge my superpower with it, and then destroy it from the inside!" Ning Yu's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"No! This is too dangerous!" Mu Xue was the first to rush up and stop her, and the other team members also tried to persuade her, but Ning Yu was determined.
"There's no other way, trust me!" Ning Yu patted Mu Xue on the shoulder to reassure her, then resolutely walked towards the energy source.
A sharp pain, even more intense than before, instantly swept over Ning Yu's entire body. He gritted his teeth and persevered, mobilizing all the supernatural abilities within him, which surged wildly into the black energy source like a flood bursting its banks.
