Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 273 We can't let it escape again.
However, the phantoms seemed unconcerned about the wind pressure and continued to move forward steadily.

Just when everyone was in trouble, the mysterious bead in Liu Sijun's hand suddenly trembled slightly and its light shone again.

The light from the bead seemed to have some effect on the phantoms, making them move more slowly.

Liu Sijun: "The light from this bead has an effect on them. Everyone, concentrate your spiritual power and use the power of the bead to attack them."

Upon hearing this, everyone mobilized their spiritual power, merging it with the light of the mysterious bead.

Liu Sijun combined the power of the Taixu Spirit Crystal with the light of the bead, forming a powerful beam of light that shot towards the phantoms.

The beam of light struck a phantom, which let out a scream and began to gradually dissipate.

Seeing this, the other phantoms increased their attack speed, trying to break through the group's defenses.

Gu Changzhou, Li Qing, Tong Lei, and Xu Hechen also cast spells, infusing their spiritual power into the light of the bead.

The light from the bead grew even stronger, forming a huge light curtain that kept the phantoms out.

However, the phantoms were numerous and kept attacking the light screen.

The light barrier began to crack under the attacks of the phantoms, and seemed about to shatter.

Just then, Liu Sijun suddenly remembered the scene he had seen on the stone platform earlier, in which the mysterious bead seemed to possess the power to manipulate time and space.

A thought struck her, and she tried to use her mind to guide the power of the beads, attempting to change the space-time in which the phantoms were located.

As she worked, the light from the mysterious bead began to flicker, and the surrounding space-time began to distort.

The phantoms seemed to sense the danger and began to struggle frantically.

"Success! Everyone, continue to increase your spiritual power output and completely eliminate these illusions."

Upon hearing this, everyone increased their spiritual energy output, making the light of the mysterious bead incredibly dazzling, and the distortion of space and time became increasingly intense.

Finally, with the power of the beads and the combined attack of everyone, the phantoms all vanished into thin air.

"Phew, finally got rid of these illusions."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, a tired smile appearing on her face.

Gu Changzhou sheathed the Molin Sword and nodded: "The power of this mysterious bead is indeed strong. We should make good use of it."

Xu Hechen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That's right, but we don't know how many dangers are in these ruins. We can't let our guard down."

Tong Lei looked at the mysterious bead, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I hope this bead can help us find the Key to Time and Space and completely eliminate the threat of the Demon God."

Liu Sijun gripped the mysterious bead in her hand tightly: "We must keep moving forward, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must not give up."

After packing their belongings, the group continued their journey through this mysterious space.

The spacetime force permeating the space grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding scenery became more distorted and illusory.

Suddenly, a huge spacetime vortex appeared ahead, shimmering with strange light, as if it contained endless mysteries.

Just then, a deep voice echoed from within the spacetime vortex: "To pass through here, you must answer my questions. If you answer incorrectly, you will be trapped in this spacetime vortex forever."

The group exchanged glances, knowing that another severe test was about to begin.

Xu Hechen: "What's the problem? Tell me quickly."

The deep voice rang out again: "What lies at the end of time and space?"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. The question was too profound; it seemed there was no definite answer.

Tong Lei: "At the end of time and space, there may be endless void, or there may be a new beginning."

Xu Hechen frowned: "No, the end of time and space should be a mysterious realm that transcends our understanding."

Gu Changzhou shook his head and expressed his opinion: "I think the end of time and space is a cycle, where the past, present and future are intertwined, and there is no end."

Liu Sijun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "The end of time and space may be the pursuit and longing in our hearts, our exploration and desire for the unknown world."

Everyone expressed their opinions, but they were still unable to determine a precise answer.

Li Qing asked anxiously, "Which answer is correct?"

Just then, the mysterious bead suddenly shone brightly, and a soft beam of light shot towards the spacetime vortex.

The light seemed to contain a mysterious power, making the light in the spacetime vortex even softer.

Liu Sijun: "This bead seems to be guiding us. Perhaps we should combine everyone's ideas to give a more comprehensive answer."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

They began to integrate their ideas, trying to find a more perfect answer.

"At the end of time and space lies endless emptiness, but also a new beginning; it is a mysterious realm beyond our comprehension, a cycle where the past, present, and future intertwine; and it is our inner exploration and yearning for the unknown world."

Liu Sijun loudly told the integrated answer to the spacetime vortex.

There was a moment of silence within the spacetime vortex, followed by a low laugh: "Your answers, though imperfect, contain a profound understanding of spacetime. Alright, I grant you passage."

As soon as the words were spoken, the power of the spacetime vortex began to weaken, forming a passage leading into the depths of space.

Xu Hechen: "We succeeded, let's go."

After passing through the passage formed by the spacetime vortex, Liu Sijun and the others found themselves in a strange space.

Countless fragments of spirit crystals, shimmering with a faint light, float here, like stars adorning the entire space. In the center of the space, the Demon God's heart emits an eerie dark red light.

Liu Sijun gripped the mysterious bead tightly: "This is it, everyone be careful."

The power of the Ink Scale Sword in Gu Changzhou's hand flowed, emitting a cold light: "This time, we must not let it escape again."

Li Qing controlled the Fire Phoenix, whose feathers shimmered with intense light under the burning Netherworld Purifying Fire, and it cried out, seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere of the impending battle.

Tong Lei's body surged with spiritual energy, and the phantom of the Golden Roc appeared and disappeared behind him, its sharp cry echoing through the space, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Xu Hechen's eyes were firm; he hoped that this time he could make up for his mistakes and seal them away completely.

"Watch out, it's about to attack!"

Sure enough, the black energy ripples instantly transformed into countless black spikes, shooting towards Liu Sijun and the others.

Gu Changzhou took the lead, wielding the Molin Sword, its blade gleaming with cold light, shattering the approaching spikes one by one.

The demon god's heart felt an unprecedented threat as everyone attacked relentlessly. It struggled frantically, spewing out black energy in an attempt to stop the attack.

However, the attacks from the crowd grew increasingly fierce, and the light from the mysterious bead grew stronger, gradually suppressing the resistance of the demon god's heart.

Just when everyone thought they were about to successfully seal the Demon God's heart, suddenly, a group of people in black robes appeared in the space.
