Star Journey: Destiny Returns

The night in the Spirit Valley remained dreamlike, the moonlight casting dappled shadows across the vegetation, flowing like water, as if absorbing every corner of this world. Yunxuan and Yaoyue stood before the ancient stone table. Fresh from the baptism of spiritual food, their spiritual energy had returned to an unprecedented state of balance. Yet, their gazes remained deep, as if awaiting a greater test.

"Although the power of spiritual food has allowed us to break through our cultivation level, the test behind it is far from over." Yun Xuan said in a low voice, his fingers gently stroking the hilt of the long sword, a hint of sharpness and alertness in his eyes.

Yaoyue's silver blade gleamed in the faint moonlight. She looked around, frowning slightly. "The aura of the Spirit Valley seems to be getting weirder. I can feel some unknown power quietly approaching."

As soon as she finished speaking, the air around them suddenly grew stagnant. The once tranquil Spirit Valley seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly chaotic, as if the energy between heaven and earth was forcibly distorted at this moment. Yunxuan and Yaoyue instantly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Something is coming." Yun Xuan reminded in a low voice, and the long sword was unsheathed in an instant. The sword tip flashed with cold light in the moonlight, reflecting his determined expression.

Yao Yue's expression became increasingly solemn, the silver blade gently turning at her fingertips, and the air around her seemed to flow with it, carrying a hint of invisible murderous intent, foreshadowing the upcoming battle.

At that moment, muffled footsteps echoed from the distant woods, as if from ancient times. Each step was like a hammer striking the heart of the earth, shaking the entire world. Then, a tall figure slowly emerged from the dense forest.

He was a giant clad in armor, towering like a mountain. His features, hidden beneath the armor, emanated a cold, metallic glow. In his hand, he wielded a massive battle axe, pulsing with intense spiritual energy, as if it were a divine artifact from heaven and earth. Every movement of the giant carried an immensely powerful aura, and the air around him seemed to be twisted and distorted by the pressure.

"Who is he?" Yaoyue's voice became inaudible at this moment, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Maybe he's the guardian of the Spirit Valley." Yun Xuan's tone was steady, his eyes fixed on the giant. "Whatever he is, we must remain vigilant."

As the giant approached, Yunxuan and Yaoyue felt an invisible pressure, as if they were being drawn into an endless vortex. They knew that the next moment would determine their fate.

"Why did you break in here?" The giant's low and majestic voice was like thunder, shaking every corner of the Spirit Valley.

"We are here to discover the secrets of the Spirit Valley." Yun Xuan raised his head, his eyes determined, and met the giant's gaze without fear. "If necessary, we are willing to accept the challenge."

Yao Yue silently supported them, a glimmer of hope igniting in her heart. Perhaps this giant was not only an enemy, but also the key to their exploration of the Spirit Valley.

"Your courage is commendable, but the secrets here are not easily obtained." The giant slowly raised his battle axe, spiritual energy surging on it, as if preparing to meet their challenge. "If you want to pass, you must first accept the test!"

Yunxuan and Yaoyue looked at each other, feeling both nervous and expectant. The adventurous journey began again, and they were ready to face the most severe test in Linggu.
