The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 87: Breakthrough on the Brink of Life and Death

The passage was dim and dark, with only the faint light emitted by the magic weapons in their hands, illuminating the way forward. The air was filled with an ancient and vicissitudes of life, as if one could smell the weight of history.

Yun Che followed closely within the group, his heart secretly on guard. He knew full well that ruins often concealed countless dangers and opportunities, and that a single misstep could lead to eternal damnation. But at the same time, he was filled with anticipation, hoping to find an opportunity here that would further his cultivation.

"Everyone, pay attention, there is movement ahead." Feng Wuhen suddenly stopped and reminded in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, tightly gripping the magic weapons in their hands and preparing to deal with emergencies.

A dark shadow flashed by ahead of him at an astonishing speed. Yun Che looked closely and saw that it was a gigantic demonic beast, covered in black scales, its eyes like torches, emitting a sinister light.

"This is... the Shadow Scaled Beast!" Feng Wuhen's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice.

The Shadow Scaled Beast, an extremely formidable demonic beast, possesses not only astonishing defense but also exceptional speed and a formidable attack power. In the world of cultivation, this demonic beast is notoriously difficult to tame.

"Everyone, be careful and don't underestimate the enemy." Feng Wuhen reminded again, and at the same time, he moved and took the lead in attacking the Shadow Scaled Beast.

Seeing this, the others also took action. The lights of various magic weapons intertwined in the passage and started a fierce battle with the Shadow Scaled Beast.

Yun Che showed no sign of weakness. He mobilized the spiritual energy within his body and swung his sword, sending a sharp blade of light slashing towards the Shadow Scaled Armored Beast. However, the Shadow Scaled Armored Beast seemed to be able to foresee his attack, and with a flash of its body, it easily dodged the blow.

"Hmph, quite interesting." Yun Che snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart. He knew that he had to give it his all to survive this battle.

The battle continued for a while, with both sides trading blows, the fight becoming increasingly difficult to determine. However, as time went on, Yun Che gradually began to feel his physical strength weaken. He was still young, after all, and while his cultivation was impressive, there was still a significant gap between him and these battle-hardened warriors.

“This won’t do. I must find a breakthrough.” Yun Che thought to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the Shadow Scaled Beast's attacks seemed to follow a certain pattern. Every time it launched an attack, there was a brief pause, as if it was gathering strength. Although this pause was extremely brief, it was enough to give him the opportunity to counterattack.

"Found it!" Yun Che's heart throbbed with joy, and he immediately adjusted his battle rhythm. He deliberately exposed a flaw, luring the Shadow Scaled Beast into attacking. Sure enough, the Shadow Scaled Beast saw this and immediately roared and pounced on him.

Just as it was about to pounce on Yun Che, Yun Che dodged the attack with a flash of his body. At the same time, he seized the opportunity to swing the longsword in his hand. A brilliant sword beam instantly pierced through space and slashed towards the neck of the Shadow Scaled Beast.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the huge body of the Shadow Scaled Beast was actually cut in half by the sword. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the entire passage red.

"Huh..." Yun Che let out a long breath, a tired yet relieved smile on his face. He knew that his success in killing the Shadow Scaled Beast just now was due not only to his strength, but also to his luck and wit.

“Yun Che, you did a great job.” Feng Wuhen walked up to Yun Che, patted his shoulder, and praised him.

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I was just lucky.”

"Luck is also a part of strength." Feng Wuhen smiled faintly and said, "However, you should not be too complacent. The road of cultivation is long and arduous. You must always remain vigilant and continuously improve your strength."

Yun Che's expression grew serious upon hearing this. He nodded and said, "Senior, I will always keep your teachings in mind."

The group continued to move forward, encountering many monsters and traps along the way. However, with their previous experience, they became more adept at dealing with them.

Finally, after a difficult journey, they arrived at the core area of ​​the ruins. They saw a huge altar in front of them, and on the altar was a treasure emitting a brilliant light.

“Is that the treasure we’re looking for?” Yun Che looked at the treasure with fervent eyes, his heart filled with desire.

Feng Wuhen nodded and said, "Yes, that is the treasure in the ruins. However, it is not easy to obtain it. Look at the area around the altar, it is full of powerful restrictions."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che carefully examined the restrictions surrounding the altar. He saw them shimmering with a strange light, as if imbued with boundless power. He secretly marveled at the power of these restrictions, believing them to be truly immense.

“Senior, what should we do?” Yun Che turned to look at Feng Wuhen and asked.

Feng Wuhen pondered for a moment and said, "These restrictions are very serious. We can't force our way in. We can only find a way to break them."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They then began searching the ruins, hoping to find a way to break the restriction.

However, time passed by minute by minute, and they still didn't find any clues. Yun Che couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that he couldn't wait like this forever.

“Senior, perhaps I can give it a try.” Yun Che suddenly said.

Feng Wuhen looked at him in surprise when he heard this and asked, "Are you sure?"

Yun Che shook his head and said, “I’m not completely sure, but it’s better than waiting forever.”

Feng Wuhen was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."

Yun Che walked to the altar, took a deep breath, and began to mobilize the spiritual energy within him. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Rays of spiritual energy flowed from his fingertips and surged towards the restrictions surrounding the altar.

However, as if those restrictions had sensed Yun Che's attack, their light instantly grew blazing, as if to devour him. Yun Che felt a tremendous pressure coming towards him, making it nearly impossible for him to breathe.

“Hmph, break it for me!” Yun Che gritted his teeth, mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, and launched an even more fierce attack.

However, those restrictions seemed indestructible. No matter how Yun Che attacked, he could not break them. On the contrary, as his attacks became more and more fierce, the light of those restrictions became more and more dazzling, as if they would burst out at any time and completely destroy him.

“Yun Che, stop it now!” Feng Wuhen was horrified upon seeing this and shouted hurriedly.

However, Yun Che had already fallen into a frenzy at this moment, and he simply wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. He only knew that he had to break these restrictions and obtain the treasure.

“Ah!” Yun Che suddenly roared, and the spiritual energy in his body seemed to boil over, rushing madly towards those restrictions.

At this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Yun Che's body, as if it was about to tear him apart. Yun Che felt a sharp pain and instantly lost consciousness, falling to the ground.

"Yun Che!" Feng Wuhen and the others were horrified upon seeing this and quickly rushed forward to check on him.

Yun Che's face was pale and covered in sweat, as if he had just experienced a life-or-death battle. They couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that Yun Che was only unconscious and hadn't suffered any serious injuries.

However, just as they were about to carry Yun Che away, suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from Yun Che's body. That aura contained endless majesty and power, as if it could suppress everything.

"This is... the breath of a breakthrough!" Feng Wuhen's face changed slightly and he said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, everyone revealed expressions of surprise. They had not expected that Yun Che would actually break through the bottleneck of his cultivation at this time.

Circles of light began to emerge around Yun Che's body. Those rays of light contained a rich spiritual energy, as if to fill the entire space. Yun Che's aura also grew stronger and stronger at this moment.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. Yun Che's body seemed to be stretched out by a powerful force, and his entire body expanded instantly. Then, a powerful spiritual energy wave erupted from his body, shaking the surrounding space slightly.

"This... this is..." Feng Wuhen and the others stared at this scene in amazement, their hearts filled with shock. They had not expected Yun Che's breakthrough to be so astonishing.

After a moment, Yun Che's body gradually returned to its normal size. His aura also became more steady and powerful. He slowly opened his eyes, gleaming with a brilliant light, as if able to see through everything.

“I… I broke through?” Yun Che looked at his hands in disbelief, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

"Indeed, you've achieved a breakthrough." Feng Wuhen walked over to Yun Che, patted his shoulder, and praised him. "Furthermore, your breakthrough was perfect, without any side effects."

Yun Che smiled brightly upon hearing this. He knew that this breakthrough had not only allowed his cultivation to achieve a qualitative leap, but had also given him a deeper understanding and insight into the path of cultivation.

“Seniors, thank you.” Yun Che looked at Feng Wuhen and the others and said gratefully, “If you hadn’t been by my side supporting me all this time, I probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.”

Feng Wuhen smiled slightly and said, "This is the result of your own hard work and persistence. We just gave you a little guidance."

Yun Che nodded, secretly feeling fortunate. He knew that his ability to reach this point today was inseparable from the support and help of the people around him.

"Alright, now that you've broken through the bottleneck of your cultivation, let's move on." Feng Wuhen said, "That treasure is still waiting for us to take it."

Yun Che's spirits perked up upon hearing this, and he immediately stood up, ready to move on.

However, at this moment, a sudden and violent tremor erupted from the depths of the ruins. Immediately afterwards, a brilliant light shot up from the depths of the ruins, illuminating the entire sky.
