From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

That mysterious black power, like a persistent, insidious infection, quickly merged with the energy barrier.

The cracks that were originally on the verge of collapse healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of this force.

Each fusion was accompanied by a teeth-grinding "squeak," as if death itself were whispering.

The black light intertwined with the barrier's original golden radiance, flickering erratically like a ghostly eye, sending chills down one's spine.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's faces were so gloomy they looked like they could drip water.

This suddenly emerging mysterious force is like a roadblock that has appeared out of nowhere on their path to freedom.

The two clenched their fists tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force.

"What the hell is this?!" Bi Yao spat, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind. Wasn't this just messing with her mentality?

"Trying to stop me? No way!" Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan were the same. He frowned, and the power around him was like boiling water, making a series of booming sounds.

Jiang Ruiyuan took the initiative, roaring as he pushed his power to its limit once again.

The surging energy, like a ferocious beast unleashed, crashed violently into the mysterious force that was repairing the barrier.

However, the black power seemed to have a life of its own, nimbly dodging his attacks and instead constantly eroding his energy.

"Damn it!" Jiang Ruiyuan roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

He felt his strength being gradually devoured, and that sense of powerlessness made him feel extremely frustrated.

The surrounding space was distorted by the violent collision of the two forces, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

The space seemed to have become a funhouse mirror, with everything constantly distorting.

He was unwilling to give up; he couldn't stop here!

Jiang Ruiyuan gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed to the extreme, and his eyes blazed with an indomitable fighting spirit.

He wanted to break free from these damned constraints; he wanted to take Bi Yao with him and leave this godforsaken place!

"Open for me!" he roared again, his power surging once more, the powerful shockwave causing the space to tremble.

However, just as he was about to exhaust himself, that mysterious power, like a leech, clung to him tightly and began to backfire...

Bi Yao suddenly felt a warmth in her palm. She turned to look at Jiang Ruiyuan, only to find him...

Bi Yao's palms were burning hot, and a strange energy surged wildly within her body, like magma before a volcanic eruption, scorching and full of destructive power.

A glint flashed in her eyes, and she unleashed that power without hesitation.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from her body, like the sun falling, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

This light contained a world-destroying power, as if it could tear apart all obstacles and destroy everything in its path.

That arrogant, mysterious black power, faced with this sudden surge of violent energy, instantly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Its originally solid form began to twist violently, emitting a shrill scream, as if it were enduring immense pain.

It tried to escape, but was suppressed by Bi Yao's energy. It was like a rag doll being thrown into a washing machine and churned around, being ravaged and its original arrogance vanished completely.

Jiang Ruiyuan stared in disbelief at all this, his shock coming in waves like a tidal wave.

He had never seen such domineering power before. Bi Yao was practically a mobile nuclear warhead!

His admiration for Bi Yao grew even stronger. She was indeed the woman he had his eye on; she was truly extraordinary.

"What are you still standing there for?" Bi Yao's voice was like heavenly music, pulling Jiang Ruiyuan back to reality from his shock.

Without hesitation, he once again poured his own power into Bi Yao's body. The two powers merged instantly, like oil being poured into a raging fire, unleashing an even more powerful energy.

A thick beam of light, like a laser cannon, burst forth from the two of them and slammed into the crumbling barrier.

"Crack!" A crisp sound of shattering, like the death knell, heralded the end of the barrier.

The massive energy surge caused the entire space to tremble. The once indestructible barrier, under the combined efforts of the two, finally shattered like a mirror, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

The countless points of light dancing in the sky, like sprites cheering for their victory, shone with dazzling brilliance.

The spatial barrier shattered completely, revealing a passage full of unknowns before the two. There seemed to be light at the other end of the passage, beckoning to them.

"Let's go!" Bi Yao's lips curled into a confident smile. She exchanged a glance with Jiang Ruiyuan.

"What's outside?" Jiang Ruiyuan asked.

The long-awaited sunshine, like a gentle lover, caressed Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

The warmth dispelled the lingering chill from their bodies.

They squinted, greedily savoring the long-lost warmth, as if they had returned to the human world.

The air was filled with a sense of freedom, which made them feel relaxed and happy.

Outside the space was a huge plaza, its surface paved with smooth, mirror-like white stone slabs that reflected a dazzling light under the sun.

Around the square stand enormous stone pillars, carved with ancient and mysterious runes.

To their even greater surprise, countless energy crystals radiating dazzling light floated in the center of the plaza, like stars falling from the sky, beautiful and dreamlike.

They emitted powerful energy fluctuations, making Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan feel the power within their bodies stirring restlessly, as if they couldn't wait to devour them.

"Wow, what's this? Is it a reward for us?" Bi Yao couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She felt as if her body had turned into a black hole, desperately wanting to absorb the energy of these crystals.

Jiang Ruiyuan was also overjoyed. He felt as if his power had broken free of some kind of shackles, becoming even stronger, and his blood was boiling.

The two smiled at each other, and all their fatigue vanished.

After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally managed to escape that horrible place.

At this moment, all the effort was worth it!

They opened their arms and embraced each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

The air around us seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance.

Their strength was greatly enhanced during this escape.

Bi Yao felt the special energy within her body becoming more active, as if it were ready to unleash a world-destroying power at any moment.

As for Jiang Ruiyuan, his power became even purer and stronger, and every move he made carried a chilling aura.

They have finally reached a higher starting point and possess greater power.

Just as they were basking in the joy of victory, a strange dark cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky. It looked like a huge monster opening its ferocious maw, approaching them.

The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, giving people a strange sense of oppression.

The dark clouds seemed to conceal some unknown danger, making people uneasy.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan gazed at the dark clouds in the distance, their expressions grave.
