Deep within the palace, a deafening roar, like the howl of a giant beast, shook the earth and sent dust flying.
Lin Yi felt an overwhelming pressure wash over him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The blue light from the runes on the wall intensified dramatically, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
The feeling was like 100,000 volts of high-voltage electricity crackling around you, making your scalp tingle.
"Wow, what is this thing? Is it about to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality?" Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim, his heart pounding like a drum.
"Lin Yi, these runes have formed a powerful sealing formation and are absorbing energy!" Chu Yao's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the chaos, tinged with anxiety. "We must defeat the guardian as soon as possible to break the seal!"
The guardian was a colossal creature, three meters tall, covered in black scales, wielding a massive battle axe, and glaring menacingly at Lin Yi and the others.
This guy is practically a humanoid Gundam; one swing of his axe and he could probably split a person in two.
"Understood!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, his gaze sharp, staring intently at the guardian.
This guy is big and strong, but he seems a bit clumsy.
After each attack, there is a brief pause, like an old computer loading a program, which will freeze for a moment.
"Now!" Lin Yi's heart stirred, and he found the guardian's weakness.
The guardian swung his giant axe again, cleaving towards Lin Yi with a whooshing sound.
Lin Yi neither dodged nor flinched, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Time-space teleportation!"
Lin Yi's figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the guardian.
"Space-Time Slash!"
A dazzling sword light ripped through the air and struck the guardian hard in the back.
"Roar!" The guardian let out a painful roar, and its massive body swayed.
"A good opportunity!" Upon seeing this, Long Wu immediately transformed into a golden dragon, opened his blood-red maw, and spewed out a scorching dragon breath.
"Roar!" The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and its breath was like a small sun, scorching the guardian's body.
"Sizzle sizzle..." The guardian's black scales were burning red, emitting puffs of white smoke.
Chu Yao wasn't idle either. She used her powerful artificial intelligence capabilities to analyze the Guardian's weaknesses and attack patterns in real time and transmit the data to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, attack its left shoulder, that's its weak point!" Chu Yao's voice clearly reached Lin Yi's ears.
"Received!" Lin Yi did not hesitate and used the space-time teleportation again, arriving above the guardian's left shoulder. The space-time blade in his hand turned into a stream of light and stabbed down fiercely.
"Pfft!"
The Blade of Time and Space pierced the Guardian's left shoulder as easily as cutting tofu.
"Roar!" The guardian let out a shrill scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
After the guardian fell, the surrounding runic light gradually dissipated, and the sealing formation was also released.
"Phew... finally done!" Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. This boss battle was really exciting.
"Lin Yi, are you alright?" Chu Yao asked with concern.
"It's nothing, no big deal!" Lin Yi waved his hand, although he had some scratches, it was nothing serious.
"Boss, awesome!" Long Wu returned to human form, gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, and looked at him with admiration.
Lin Yi smiled but didn't speak. Instead, he looked into the depths of the palace.
There, a treasure chest radiating a mysterious light quietly awaits their arrival...
"What could be inside this thing?" Lin Yi muttered to himself as he stepped forward.
"Wait, Lin Yi..." Chu Yao's voice suddenly rang out, with a hint of hesitation, "I...I feel a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the treasure chest..." Lin Yi yanked open the treasure chest, and the dazzling golden light almost blinded his titanium alloy eyes!
A long sword, its surface shimmering with light, lay quietly inside. On its blade, it seemed as if a galaxy was flowing; it was clearly no ordinary weapon.
"Holy crap, a legendary weapon? This is a steal!" Lin Yi couldn't help but curse. He gripped the hilt of the sword and felt a surge of power flow into his body, as if he were about to be elevated.
"This feeling is absolutely amazing!"
Besides the awesome longsword, the treasure chest also contained an ancient map with a location marked on it by strange symbols.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, examined them carefully, and was immediately overjoyed: "The Seven Keys of Creation? Looks like my lucky streak is still working!"
However, before Lin Yi could be happy for long, the entire palace suddenly began to shake violently, with dust falling from the ceiling as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"What's going on? An earthquake?" Long Wu was so frightened that his face changed color, and he instinctively hid behind Lin Yi.
"No, something feels off..." Chu Yao's voice carried a hint of seriousness, "It seems like something is about to awaken..." Lin Yi frowned, gripping his longsword tightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart... "Damn it, could it be another hidden boss...?"
