Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, staring intently into the depths of the "Forgotten City," clearly feeling the mysterious power surging like a tidal wave, growing ever stronger.
The fluctuations of that power were like the tides in the ocean, sometimes like gentle waves caressing the beach with a touch of warmth; at other times like a raging tsunami, whipping up towering waves that terrified people.
An uneasy look spread rapidly across Night Owl and Xuan Mingzi's faces, as if they were tightly shrouded in an invisible net of fear, sensing some kind of ominous premonition.
"Hehehe, it seems your good luck has run out!" Night Owl suppressed the unease churning within him and let out the villain's signature death proclamation.
His voice seemed to be twisted by an invisible demon, carrying a heavy gloom, buzzing in the air, sending chills down one's spine.
"Ha, despair? Those two words don't exist in my dictionary!" Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, a smile like the warm sun in winter, giving people warmth and strength.
His eyes shone with a resolute light, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the path ahead.
"It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, his palm slightly warm, as if trying to grasp the trace of that mysterious power.
With his [Time-Space Insight] activated, the scene deep within the "Forgotten City" slowly unfolded before his eyes like a giant scroll.
Countless points of light, like brilliant stars, converged together, shimmering with multicolored light, forming a giant vortex, as if the Milky Way had been poured in reverse.
At the center of the vortex, a colossal figure could be vaguely discerned, like a primordial beast that had been dormant for a long time, about to awaken and unleash a deafening roar.
"This power..." Lin Yi pondered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.
The nature of this power is completely different from what he possesses, yet it has a mysterious connection to him, like two seemingly parallel lines that intersect in some unknown place.
Just then, Su Qing's originally weak life force suddenly fluctuated, like a spark about to be extinguished suddenly bursting out with a faint light.
She slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, her gaze like clear lake water, falling on Lin Yi. A faint smile appeared on her lips, a smile as delicate and beautiful as a flower in spring.
"Lin Yi, I can feel... the source of that power." Su Qing's voice was weak but clear, each word slipping from her lips like pearls.
She seemed to have suddenly been reborn; a mysterious power surged within her like a rushing river, granting her a special ability.
Lin Yi's heart stirred.
He quickly turned his gaze to the crowd and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone! Su Qing can sense the source of that power. Let's follow her."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Whitebeard, having recovered from his injuries, returned to the battle. His steps were steady, his eyes sharp, and he fought alongside Lin Yi. His rich experience made him seem like a seasoned general. Aizen, with his arms crossed and eyes calm, silently analyzed the situation. His meticulous mind made him seem like a wise strategist, providing crucial support. Chu Yao, as an AI life form assistant, had a gleam in her eyes, remaining loyal and devoted to assisting Lin Yi, as if she were his most loyal partner. Ryu Wu had also regained his trust in the team. He clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a surge of energy. His impulsive and courageous nature made him a backbone of the team.
However, Night Owl and Xuanmingzi were not willing to accept defeat.
Night Owl moved his hands rapidly, manipulating the shield and launching a new attack on the group.
The shield lit up instantly, its light forming an invisible barrier, shimmering with a cold blue glow, forcing them back.
Xuanmingzi stood to the side, arms crossed, a mysterious smile on his face, as if waiting for a good show to begin.
"Their offensive is on!" Whitebeard shouted, his voice booming like a bell.
He swiftly dodged the impact of the shield, his movements as agile as a cheetah.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yi activated the [Time and Space Domination] ability.
In an instant, everything around seemed to be paused, and time stood still.
His figure moved with ghostly lightness, easily dodging the shield's attacks. At the same time, he used the power of spacetime distortion to form an invisible barrier, temporarily blocking the enemy's attack.
"Chu Yao, analyze the attack pattern!" Lin Yi quickly gave Chu Yao the order, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness.
The light in Chu Yao's eyes flashed rapidly, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky.
She quickly analyzed the shield's weaknesses and attack patterns.
"The shield's weakness is in the lower left corner. After three attacks, there will be a brief opening." Chu Yao's voice carried a sense of urgency, each word like a rapid drumbeat.
"Understood." Lin Yi nodded, quickly adjusted his position, and prepared to launch a counterattack.
Aizen formed hand seals and chanted incantations, using his abilities to disrupt Night Owl's commands.
Night Owl's body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic was revealed in his eyes.
Long Wu roared and charged forward like an angry bull.
His body radiated a golden light, and the power of the "True Dragon Bloodline" surged within him.
He leaped high into the air and slammed his fist into the shield.
The shield was attacked, its light flashed violently, and it emitted a buzzing vibration, as if it were groaning in pain.
"A vulnerability has appeared in the shield!" Chu Yao's voice rang out, like a battle horn.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi launched an attack. A spacetime rift, like a sharp sword, opened up at the shield's weak point, instantly tearing the shield apart.
The offensive of Night Owl and Xuanmingzi was also temporarily interrupted.
"Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but I will not give up!" Night Owl's voice carried a hint of madness, his hair flew in the wind, and his eyes revealed a resolute determination.
He quickly adjusted his tactics and attempted to launch another attack.
However, Su Qing's voice came again at this moment: "Quick, that power is just ahead, just a little further ahead."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and said firmly, "Everyone, follow me. We must find the source of this power!" He led the charge forward, and the crowd followed closely behind. The air was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere, as if every molecule was pulsating.
Just as everyone was about to approach the source of the mysterious power, Lin Yi suddenly stopped and looked down into the darkness ahead.
The darkness was like a giant black hole, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
He had a strong premonition that the source of this power was definitely not so simple.
He began to worry: would all his previous efforts be in vain, and could the safety of his team members be guaranteed?
"Brothers, the dawn is just around the corner!" Lin Yi shouted, his voice like a stirring battle song.
He was as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, full of fighting spirit, as if he could already see the goddess of victory beckoning to him, her light as dazzling as golden sunlight.
But just then, a strange fluctuation, like a bucket of icy cold water, was poured over their heads.
The chill instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Su Qing's originally clear guidance suddenly became intermittent, like an old radio that had lost its signal, with static echoing in the air, making people feel annoyed.
"Uh...I...I think...I can't feel anything anymore..." Su Qing's voice trembled, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.
Her body swayed precariously, as if she were about to faint at any moment.
At the same time, Lin Yi's [Space-Time Perception] was also interfered with. The world in front of him was blurred and indistinct, as if it had been pixelated, which drove him crazy.
His brows were furrowed, and a hint of anxiety was in his eyes.
His heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind, as oppressive as dark clouds obscuring the sun.
"What's going on? Could it be..." He suddenly turned his head and looked at Dark Blade, who was trapped in the independent space-time.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of Anren's mouth, a smile like the cold laugh of a devil.
He formed a strange hand seal, muttering incantations in a low, hoarse voice, like a shaman performing a ritual.
"Heh, you want to find the source of power? Dream on!" Dark Blade's voice was cold and piercing, with a hint of smugness, like a mouse that had stolen a chicken.
"Damn it! It was Dark Blade who did this!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth. "That old bastard, he still dares to play dirty tricks even when he's about to die!"
