Dapeng's Time Travel Life

The stone door slowly opened, revealing the mountain-like monster. Its body almost filled the entire cave, and the dark aura emanating from it surged like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping Zhang Peng and his companions, making them feel suffocated. The monster roared to the sky, the sound waves causing rocks to fall from the cave walls.

"This is a Dark Abyss Demon Ape, its strength is at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage, we must be careful!" Su Yao's face was pale, and her voice trembled slightly. The difference in strength between a late Foundation Establishment stage demon beast and a Qi Refining stage disciple who had just entered the cultivation world was too great.

Zhang Peng gripped his longsword tightly. Although a trace of fear welled up in his heart, he knew he could not back down now. "Miss Lin, Miss Su, if the three of us join forces and cooperate, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope." His gaze was firm as he quickly considered a solution in his mind.

The Dark Abyss Demon Ape launched the first attack, swinging its thick arm and creating a gust of black wind as it slammed towards Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng dodged quickly, simultaneously channeling his spiritual energy into his longsword and thrusting it backhand at the demon ape's arm. However, the demon ape's skin was as hard as iron, and the longsword only left a shallow mark on it.

"Attack its eyes and throat!" Lin Wan'er shouted, simultaneously casting a wood-based spell to summon countless vines that coiled around the demonic ape. Bound by the vines, the demonic ape's movements became sluggish. It roared angrily, struggling fiercely and breaking the vines one by one.

Su Yao was not to be outdone. She formed hand seals, and ice shards shot out from her hands, aiming at the demonic ape. The demonic ape swung its arms to block the ice shards, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Peng launched another attack. He mobilized the five elements of spiritual power within his body, merging them together to form a powerful force that stabbed towards the demonic ape's throat.

Sensing danger, the demonic ape abruptly turned its head and blocked Zhang Peng's attack with its arm. The powerful impact sent Zhang Peng flying, crashing heavily into the cave wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"General!" Lin Wan'er and Su Yao exclaimed and rushed to Zhang Peng's side.

"I'm fine." Zhang Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to stand up. "This demonic ape is too strong. We can't go on like this." He looked at the Five Elements Spirit Pearl in his hand and suddenly had an idea.

“Miss Lin, Miss Su, you two distract the demonic ape. I will try to use the power of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls to find its weakness,” Zhang Peng said.

The two nodded and charged at the demonic ape again. Lin Wan'er continuously used vines to disrupt the ape's movements, while Su Yao cast ice spells, attempting to freeze its limbs. The demonic ape became increasingly agitated by their attacks, its assault growing more ferocious, causing sand and stones to fly and creating chaos within the cave.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng concentrated his mind, merging the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls with his own spiritual power. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, sensing everything around him. With the help of the Five Elements spiritual power, he seemed to be able to see the flow of spiritual power within the demonic ape's body.

Suddenly, he noticed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy in the demonic ape's abdomen. It seemed to be the convergence point of the demonic ape's power, and also its weak point. "Found it!" Zhang Peng was overjoyed.

He opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and concentrated all his spiritual power into his longsword. "Miss Lin, Miss Su, step back!" he shouted, then charged towards the demonic ape like an arrow released from a bow.

Seeing Zhang Peng charging towards him, the demonic ape swung its arm to try and block him. Zhang Peng nimbly dodged the ape's attacks, steadily closing in on its abdomen. Finally, just as the ape's arm was about to strike him, he leaped up, his longsword glowing with multicolored light, and thrust it fiercely into the ape's belly.

"Agh!" The demonic ape let out a painful scream, its body trembling violently, and its dark aura began to become chaotic. Zhang Peng's sword had successfully struck its weak point.

The demonic ape struggled frantically, its power growing even more violent, causing rocks to fall continuously from the cave, threatening to collapse the entire cavern. Zhang Peng and his two companions rushed towards the cave entrance, managing to escape just before the cave completely collapsed.

The three collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, still shaken by the battle they had just fought. "We...we succeeded," Lin Wan'er said with a weary smile.

Looking at the dimmed Five Elements Spirit Pearl in his hand, Zhang Peng was filled with emotion. Although this trip to the ruins had been fraught with danger, they had not only obtained the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, but also successfully defeated the powerful Dark Abyss Demon Ape, and his strength had also improved in the battle.

“This is just the beginning.” Zhang Peng stood up and looked into the distance. “In this world of cultivation, there are many more challenges waiting for us. We must become stronger.”

The three composed themselves and returned to Qingfeng Sect, carrying their loot and valuable combat experience. Zhang Peng knew that upon returning to the sect, even more arduous training and unknown opportunities awaited him, and the power of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls might become the key to his continuous breakthroughs on his path of cultivation.
