Ning Yu took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the barrier, trying to find the pattern of the attack.
The speed of light is extremely fast and completely unpredictable, making it difficult to grasp.
He kept dodging, hovering on the edge of life and death.
After dodging several rounds of attacks, Ning Yu suddenly realized that the runes on the barrier were not always still.
Whenever the barrier is about to launch an attack, one of the runes will flash briefly.
Is this the key?
He had a bold idea: he wanted to use a stone to interfere with the rune the moment it flashed.
This idea was very risky because he didn't know what the consequences would be.
If they fail, how will they face the even more intense attacks that the barrier will launch next?
But now, he has no other choice.
The barrier began to gather energy again. Ning Yu held his breath, his gaze fixed on that particular rune.
The moment the rune flashed, he hurled the stone in his hand at it.
The stone struck the shimmering rune precisely, producing a crisp sound.
The anticipated attack did not occur; instead, the space fell into a deathly silence.
The light on the barrier gradually dimmed, and the complex runes stopped flashing, as if they had lost their power supply.
Ning Yu and Mu Xue were both stunned; they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Had they succeeded?
Just then, a crack slowly opened in the center of the barrier... From within, a deep voice said: "Come in..."
Ning Yu took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest.
One success doesn't guarantee future success. The barrier's reaction was so strange that he wasn't sure if his previous action was a lucky accident or if he had truly found a way to break it.
The stone in his palm was slightly warm, as if it could sense his tension.
What awaits them if they fail?
An even fiercer attack?
Or perhaps... utter annihilation?
He dared not think about it too much and could only force himself to calm down and focus his attention on the barrier.
"Are you ready?" Mu Xue's voice came from behind, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
Ning Yu turned to look at her. In the dim light, Mu Xue's face looked somewhat pale, but the determination in her eyes remained undiminished.
“Yes,” Ning Yu nodded, giving her a reassuring look, “Trust me.”
He knew that Mu Xue must be even more afraid than he was at that moment.
She was just an ordinary person, without any special abilities or system, but she accompanied him here without hesitation, and even got injured while searching for the stone.
He secretly vowed that he would protect her no matter what.
The runes on the barrier began to flash again, this time with a faster frequency and a brighter light.
Ning Yu sensed a powerful energy accumulating within the barrier, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.
He knew he only had one chance.
He activated his supernatural power and slowly channeled it into the stone in his hand. The stone emitted a faint glow, which shone brightly in contrast to the light of the barrier.
When the runes on the barrier flashed again, Ning Yu seized the opportunity and hurled the stone infused with supernatural power at the rune.
The moment the stone touched the rune, the barrier's attack paused. Then, an even more powerful energy wave spread out from the center of the barrier, forcing Ning Yu and Mu Xue to retreat.
"Watch out!" Ning Yu grabbed Mu Xue and pulled her behind him.
The crack... is widening... The voice coming from within is becoming clearer: "Come in..." There's a hint of... excitement in the voice?
