Chapter 255 The Final Battle
Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood before the dark blue spiritual energy barrier, which exuded a powerful pressure, like a towering mountain, inspiring awe.
Ye Shuli reached out and gently touched the barrier. A sharp pain shot through her fingertips, as if she had touched a high voltage.
"Hiss—this thing, is it for real?" She gasped, pulled her hand back, and her fingertips were faintly red.
Seeing this, Jiang Ye rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
"Let me do it! Behold the invincible divine fist of the Jiang family!" he shouted, mobilizing all his spiritual power and slamming his fist into the barrier.
However, the expected cracking sound did not occur. Jiang Ye's fist felt like it had hit cotton. A powerful rebound force sent him back several steps, and he staggered a few times before regaining his balance.
"Holy crap! Is this barrier made of rubber? It's so elastic!" He shook his numb hand, looking incredulous.
"Don't be silly, this is a spiritual energy barrier, not some kind of rubber." Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "It seems brute force won't work. We need to think of another way." She took a deep breath, her eyes sharp, carefully observing the patterns and energy flow of the barrier, trying to find a flaw.
The barrier's surface shimmered with iridescent light, like twinkling stars in the night sky—beautiful yet dangerous.
The air was filled with tension, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Ye Shuli knew that this was the final obstacle; as long as she broke through this barrier, she could obtain the inheritance of the spirit world.
But she also knew in her heart that this barrier was by no means easy to overcome, and the slightest carelessness would lead to utter ruin.
Just then, a sinister laugh broke the silence.
"Hahaha, you overconfident brats, you think you can break through this barrier? You're just dreaming!" The leader of the Spirit Realm Powerhouse Alliance appeared behind them at some point, a contemptuous smile on his face.
Ye Shuli ignored his sarcasm and focused intently on observing the barrier.
Jiang Ye stood beside her, watching the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance warily, ready to protect Ye Shuli at any moment.
"Li'er, don't worry about him, we'll definitely find a way!" Jiang Ye said in a low voice, his eyes shining with determination.
Ye Shuli nodded slightly, "Yes, it definitely can..." She took a deep breath, her gaze falling on an inconspicuous corner of the barrier, "Wait, look there..."
Ye Shuli pointed to a subtle ripple on the barrier that almost blended into the surrounding colors.
“Look there, the energy fluctuations there are different from the surrounding area.”
Jiang Ye squinted, trying hard to see.
"It seems... a little different? Wait, let me activate my titanium alloy dog eyes!" He rubbed his eyes mysteriously, then widened them and stared intently at the ripple.
"Wow! It really is! Li'er, you have such keen eyes! You even noticed that!"
Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Of course, don't you know who I am! I'm a modern person with higher education, I have that much observational ability." She took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and a powerful energy gathered in her palm, forming a dazzling ball of light.
"Watch me, the perfect combination of modern technology and fantasy!"
She slammed the ball of light into the ripple, and with a loud "boom," the barrier shook violently, and cracks spread out like a spider web.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance's expression changed drastically.
"How is this possible?! This girl actually..." He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Enraged, the alliance leader roared and mobilized all his spiritual power. A surge of black energy, like a raging wave, swept towards Ye Shuli.
"Little girl, don't be so arrogant!"
Ye Shuli was fearless. Her eyes were firm as she pushed her spiritual power to its limit to fight against the black energy.
"Bring it on! I'm not afraid of you!"
The two powerful energies collided, producing a deafening roar, and the surrounding space began to distort and deform.
Jiang Ye watched the battle nervously from the sidelines. Although his strength was limited, he still clenched his fists tightly and cheered for Ye Shuli.
"Li'er, keep it up! You're the best!"
The surrounding forbidden spirits also sensed the intensity of the battle, and they all let out clear chirps to cheer Ye Shuli on.
These voices came together to form a powerful spiritual force, providing Ye Shuli with intangible support.
Ye Shuli gritted her teeth; she felt her body was about to reach its limit.
But her gaze remained firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Just then, she felt a powerful force surging from within her body—it was…
The power of inheritance!
"Jiang Ye, block this for me!" Ye Shuli shouted, her hands quickly forming hand seals...
Jiang Ye understood immediately and stepped in front of Ye Shuli, using all his strength to barely withstand the alliance leader's attack.
"Li'er, go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll protect you!" He gritted his teeth and withstood the alliance leader's attack. He felt like his internal organs were about to shift, but he still stood firmly in front of Ye Shuli, like a majestic mountain, sheltering her from the wind and rain.
Ye Shuli's hands flew as she chanted incantations, ancient spells flowing from her lips as if carrying a mysterious power from ancient times.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly towards her, forming a huge vortex above her head, radiating dazzling light.
"Inherited Skill - Starfall!" Ye Shuli shouted, thrusting her hands forward with a fierce movement.
The enormous vortex of spiritual energy instantly transformed into countless glittering stars, cascading down like a meteor shower with earth-shattering force, crashing fiercely towards the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance.
"Boom boom boom!" A series of explosions resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, and the entire space shook violently.
The alliance leader was struck by this powerful skill and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood and turning pale.
The black energy on his body dissipated, and he looked listless and his strength was greatly reduced.
"Leader! Leader, are you alright?!" Upon seeing this, the Alliance's subordinates rushed over in a panic, hurriedly helping the Alliance leader to his feet.
They looked at Ye Shuli.
"Li'er, you're amazing!" Jiang Ye rushed excitedly to Ye Shuli's side, hugged her tightly, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Ye Shuli nestled in his arms, savoring this brief moment of victory.
The sounds of explosions and shouts around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats.
The air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood.
Ye Shuli gently pushed Jiang Ye away, her gaze fixed on the guardian of the inheritance in the distance, her eyes resolute: "Let's go, let's go receive the inheritance."
Ye Shuli took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions and walked firmly toward the guardian of the heritage.
The guardian was tall and mighty, radiating golden light, like a god descending to earth.
He looked at Ye Shuli and said, "You are very good. You have courage, wisdom and strength. You deserve to inherit this legacy."
The guardian slowly raised his hand, and a beam of golden light shot towards Ye Shuli.
Ye Shuli felt a warm and powerful force surge into her body, cleansing her meridians and enhancing her strength.
She closed her eyes and carefully felt this power, as if she were in a warm ocean, feeling indescribably comfortable and at ease.
The leader of the Spirit Realm Powerhouse Alliance turned ashen-faced upon seeing Ye Shuli acquire the inheritance.
He glared at Ye Shuli fiercely, then slunk away with his men, running away with their tails between their legs like stray dogs.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky! Don't let me run into you again!" The alliance leader threw down a harsh remark, then left without looking back.
Ye Shuli opened her eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy within her body. A confident smile appeared on her lips.
"Finally... I succeeded!" She clenched her fist, feeling an unprecedented surge of power, her heart filled with joy and pride.
"Li'er, you're amazing! You're practically my idol!" Jiang Ye excitedly circled around Ye Shuli.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key, it's basic stuff, basic stuff." Ye Shuli waved her hand modestly, but her eyes gleamed with pride.
Just as Ye Shuli was immersed in joy, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be some unknown information hidden in the power of inheritance, and a strange feeling surged into her heart.
"Wait... this feeling is..." she muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly.
"What's wrong, Li'er?" Jiang Ye noticed Ye Shuli's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
Ye Shuli didn't answer. She closed her eyes and carefully sensed this strange feeling, as if something was calling to her and guiding her to an unknown place...
"I think I heard something..."
