Nirvana Phoenix Song

Chapter 114 The Mysterious Guardian Underground

Feng Tangyue stood in the huge underground hall and looked around. The dark space was filled with the smell of decay and evil.

On the central altar, a black crystal full of cracks was suspended, as if it was about to collapse.

She knew that this was the core of the seal.

However, the moment she approached, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the dark crystal.

The black shadow hovered on the crystal like a giant beast, its eyes gleaming with a cold light as it stared at Feng Tangyue.

"You shouldn't come here." The dark shadow whispered, his voice hoarse and carrying an irresistible pressure.

Feng Tangyue was shocked, but she did not back down.

"I'm here to repair the seal and stop you from releasing the dark power!" Her voice was calm and firm.

The shadow sneered, "Repair the seal? Just you?"

Feng Tangyue didn't say much, the star core in her hand released blue and red light.

The light instantly enveloped her body, forming a powerful barrier.

The shadow was slightly startled, seemingly surprised by her strength.

"Interesting," the shadow said softly, "But you still can't stop me."

Before he finished his words, the black shadow suddenly moved and pounced towards Feng Tangyue like a gust of wind.

A cold light flashed in Feng Tangyue's eyes, and the core of the star was swung out suddenly. A blue-red beam of light slashed towards the black shadow like a sharp blade.

The black shadow moved extremely quickly, instantly transforming into countless black shadows and avoiding the attack of the light beam.

"It seems that you rely on more than just the power of the seal." The black shadow sneered, and there was a hint of caution in his voice.

Feng Tangyue did not answer. She knew that the enemy in front of her was extremely powerful and she had to fight with all her strength.

"Star Shine·Break!" She shouted softly, and the star core in her hand instantly burst out with an even brighter light.

Countless starlight gathered into a huge sword shadow, striking directly at the core of the black shadow.

The black shadow swung violently, and a dark crack suddenly appeared in the air, as if it could swallow everything.

The sword shadow collided with the crack, making a deafening roar, and the entire underground space was shaking violently.

Feng Tangyue took a few steps back, her face slightly pale.

Although her attack was powerful, she was obviously unable to completely suppress the black shadow.

The power of the black shadow is unfathomable, and it seems that it is not using its full strength.

"You are very good," the shadow said in a deep voice, "but this is far from enough."

Feng Tangyue tightly grasped the core of the star, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

At this moment, the runes in the passage flickered slightly, and she suddenly sensed that there was some kind of ancient power hidden around the altar.

That power was deep and mysterious, and seemed to form a certain balance with the dark sealing power.

"There is more than just dark forces here." Feng Tangyue's heart moved, and she immediately realized that she might have found a breakthrough.

She did not continue to fight with the black shadow, but quickly spread the power of the star core and sensed the surrounding aura.

As the light of the star core expanded, ancient runes suddenly lit up on the walls of the underground hall.

These runes were like sleeping dragons, activated by her power and gradually emitting a faint light.

The black shadow seemed to have noticed something strange and let out a low growl, then instantly approached Feng Tangyue.

"What do you want to do?!" There was a hint of panic in its voice.

Feng Tangyue did not answer. She concentrated all her attention on infusing the power of the star core into those runes.

The runes glowed brighter and brighter, and the entire hall began to be enveloped by the power of the stars.

"The power of the seal is not just defense, it also hides some unknown secret." Feng Tangyue gradually understood in her mind.

These ancient runes appear to be part of a seal, but they are more than that.

As the runes were activated, Feng Tangyue sensed that there seemed to be a more powerful force sleeping deep in the altar.

This power is completely opposite to darkness; it is pure and bright, as if it exists to fight against darkness.

The shadow's movements became more and more rapid, and it was obviously aware of the power of the rune.

"Stop! You don't know what you are doing!" it roared, with extreme fear in its voice.

Feng Tangyue still did not respond. Her hands were trembling slightly, but her eyes became more determined.

“Starlight, Guide the Light!” She shouted softly, and the core of the star burst out with brilliant light.

Countless rays of light connected to those runes like silk threads, lighting them all up in an instant.

In an instant, the entire underground hall was as bright as day, and the bright light completely dispelled the darkness.

The black shadow roared in pain in the light, and its body began to fade rapidly, as if it was being swallowed by the light.

"This is impossible! How could you activate the protective power within the seal!" the black shadow roared unwillingly, and his voice gradually disappeared in the light.

Feng Tangyue stood there panting, the light in front of her eyes gradually fading.

However, she knew it was far from over.

The black crystal in the center of the altar was still suspended in the air, and the cracks had become deeper.

Although the black shadow was temporarily repelled, the damage to the seal continued to increase.

"We must find a real solution." Feng Tangyue stared at the crystal and made up his mind secretly.

Her gaze once again turned to the bottom of the altar, where there was an even deeper passage.

"Perhaps, the answer lies deeper." Feng Tangyue took a deep breath, tightly grasped the star core, and walked towards the passage.

As she went deeper, a strange power began to fill the air.

On the walls of the passage, ancient murals began to become clearly visible.

Those murals seemed to record a great war in ancient times, in which the battle between light and darkness lasted throughout history.

"This is... an ancient war." Feng Tangyue's eyes were solemn. She saw that the messengers of light paid a huge price to seal the darkness.

In the mural, the final scene is a strong man sealing the darkness here at the cost of his own life.

"This is the origin of the seal." Feng Tangyue's heart was shocked. She finally understood that the seal here was not an ordinary restriction.

This was a sacrifice at the cost of life, and the power of that sacrifice might be the true core of the seal.

"I must find the power left by the ancestor." Feng Tangyue quickened his pace and continued to move forward.

Ahead, there was a faint light, which was completely different from the dark crystals, pure and warm.
