Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 702: The Crisis of Entry: Xiao Bei's Choice

Xiao Bei looked at the warning light emanating from the portal. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "We've come this far. How can we give up? I'm determined to enter this portal and find out what's going on!"

After saying that, he stepped forward without hesitation and walked towards the portal that was emitting dazzling light.

Lingfeng, Beili and others looked at each other. Although they were filled with worry and fear, seeing Xiao Bei so determined, they no longer hesitated.

Lingfeng patted his chest and said loudly: "Xiao Bei, I will go with you!" Beili also held Xiao Bei's hand tightly and said softly: "No matter where you go, I will be with you." The ancient talisman master Mo Yuan and Tianjizi looked at each other and followed silently.

The five people passed through the dazzling light, as if they had crossed the boundaries of time and space and entered a completely unfamiliar world.

It was pitch black in front of me, I couldn't see my hand in front of me, and a cold air hit me in the face, making me shiver.

The thick darkness oppressed everyone's senses, as if they were in an endless abyss.

There were bursts of low buzzing sounds in my ears, like the whispers of ghosts, which was creepy.

"What is this place?" Ling Feng's voice trembled a little, and he subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand.

Xiao Bei frowned, and with a thought, a ball of dazzling golden spiritual power rose from his palm, illuminating the surrounding environment.

This space seems to be a huge cave, with the rock walls covered with strange patterns and emitting a strange atmosphere.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay.

Seeing the uneasiness on Xiao Bei's face, Bei Li held his hand tightly, giving him silent comfort.

Suddenly, the golden spiritual power in Xiao Bei's hand flickered, as if it was disturbed by something.

He felt a chill in his heart, and an ominous premonition came over him.

"Be careful!" Xiao Bei suddenly protected Bei Li behind him and looked around vigilantly.

"Xiao..." Beili's voice stopped abruptly, and a powerful dark force pulled her backwards.

Her eyes widened in horror, and her slender body drew an arc in the air and disappeared into the darkness.

"Beili!" Xiao Bei's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

He rushed towards the direction where Beili disappeared without hesitation, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Hahahaha..." A cold laugh echoed in the cave, making people feel creepy.

"Foolish mortal, how dare you trespass into my territory!"

In the darkness, a tall figure slowly emerged.

It has a burly figure, and its entire body is covered in a black cloak, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing, flashing with a chilling light.

"Who are you?" Xiao Bei asked vigilantly, condensing a ball of dazzling golden spiritual power in his hand.

"I am the Shadow Demon, the master of this darkness." The Shadow Demon's voice was low and hoarse, like a call from hell.

"You shouldn't be here. This is not a place for you mortals to set foot in."

The Shadow Demon did not attack immediately. Instead, he said in a bewitching tone, "I can give you everything you want: power, wealth, and even eternal life. As long as you submit to me, I can fulfill all your wishes."

Tianjizi frowned, "Everyone be careful, this shadow demon is good at bewitching people, don't be fooled by its sweet words!"

The Shadow Demon stared at Tianjizi with his scarlet eyes. "You old fellow, you do have some knowledge. But do you think you can stop me like this?"

Just then, a faint cry for help came from deep in the cave.

Xiao Bei's heart tightened, he knew it was Bei Li's voice.

"Beili!" Xiao Bei tried to break through the invisible barrier again, but it was still useless.

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Shadow Demon's mouth.

"Your little lover is my captive now. If you want to save her, you must obey my orders."

Xiao Bei clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, and blood flowed down through his fingers.

There was a raging fire in his eyes and his heart was filled with endless anger and regret.

"What do you want me to do?" Xiao Bei's voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

The shadow demon stretched out his dry fingers and pointed deep into the cave.

"Go and bring me the 'Heart of Dark Night'."

"The Heart of Dark Night..." Ancient Talisman Master Mo Yuan muttered to himself, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.

"That's the legendary evil creature, containing extremely powerful dark power..."

Xiao Bei stared at the Shadow Demon, his heart full of struggle.

He knew that if he agreed to the Shadow Demon's request, it would be tantamount to associating with evil, but he could not bear to see Beili fall into the devil's clutches.

"I……"

Xiao Bei clenched his teeth. Before he could make a decision, the Shadow Demon lost his patience.

Its scarlet eyes flashed with a fierce gleam, and it roared, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished! Since you are so ungrateful, then all of you should stay here!"

Before he finished speaking, the Shadow Demon flashed and turned into a black lightning, rushing straight towards Xiao Bei and others.

As it waved its dry claws, it tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and suddenly a strong wind blew in the cave, with sand and rocks flying everywhere.

"Be careful!" Mo Yuan shouted, and the talisman pen in his hand flew. Golden runes shot out like dragons, interweaving into a huge talisman net, trying to block the shadow demon's attack.

However, the Shadow Demon's dark magic was so powerful that the talisman network only lasted for a moment before being torn apart.

The moment the golden rune shattered, a dazzling light burst out, illuminating the hideous face of the Shadow Demon.

It let out a wild laugh and grabbed Xiao Bei with its sharp claws.

Xiao Bei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He protected Bei Li behind him and retreated rapidly, narrowly avoiding the Shadow Demon's attack.

A golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden sword condensed into it, slashing towards the shadow demon's attack.

"Dang!" The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the cave. The golden sword collided with the shadow demon's claws, splashing sparks.

Xiao Bei only felt a powerful force coming, his palm felt numb, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Lingfeng immediately joined the battle, brandishing his sword.

He was agile and moved around the Shadow Demon like a ghost, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Tianjizi also took out his magic weapon, and rays of light shot towards the Shadow Demon, trying to interfere with its actions.

However, the Shadow Demon's strength was far beyond their imagination.

Its body was erratic and its attacks were extremely swift. Although Xiao Bei and others fought hard, they were always at a disadvantage.

"Xiao Bei..." Bei Li hid behind Xiao Bei. She knew that Xiao Bei was fighting so hard to protect her, and she felt both touched and guilty.

Seeing Beili's trusting eyes, Xiao Bei felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Her trust gave him courage and made him fight even more determinedly.

He and Lingfeng cooperated more tacitly, one attacking and one defending, barely resisting the Shadow Demon's attack.

However, Mo Yuan's runes seemed to have little effect on the Shadow Demon, and the dangerous atmosphere rose sharply.

The Shadow Demon's attacks became more and more fierce, and Xiao Bei and others gradually felt powerless.

At this moment, Xiao Bei felt a strange power surge in his body...

He suddenly looked up at the Shadow Demon.

"Spiritual Wind! Cover me!"

Xiao Bei felt a strange power surging in his body. In his dantian, the golden spiritual power rolled like boiling magma, and an unprecedented powerful force filled his whole body.

He suddenly looked up at the Shadow Demon. Could it be...

Is this the legendary "Tiangang Divine Power"?

"Lingfeng! Cover me!" Xiao Bei shouted.

Lingfeng understood what he meant and danced the sword in his hand tightly, blocking all of the Shadow Demon's attacks.

Xiao Bei took this opportunity, clasped his hands together, and muttered something. Golden spiritual power gathered around him, forming a huge golden ball of light.

The ball of light grew brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire cave.

"Tiangang divine power - break!" Xiao Bei shouted loudly and pushed the golden ball of light in his hand towards the shadow demon.

The golden ball of light cut through the darkness like a meteor, and with destructive force, it slammed into the Shadow Demon.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the cave shook violently and gravel fell down.

The dazzling light made it impossible for people to open their eyes. A powerful shock wave swept over, pushing Xiao Bei and others back several steps.

When the light faded, everyone could see the scene clearly.

The Shadow Demon's originally tall body now became tattered, and its black cloak was blown to pieces, revealing its ugly true face.

Its body was covered with scars, its scarlet eyes had become dim, and it let out painful roars.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." The Shadow Demon looked at Xiao Bei in disbelief. It had never thought that a mortal could actually hurt it.

Xiao Bei stood proudly holding a golden sword, like a god descending to earth.

The golden spiritual power on his body shone brightly, like a golden-armored god of war.

"Evil cannot defeat good! Today is the day you die!" Xiao Bei's voice resounded through the cave like a huge bell.

"Kill!" Lingfeng and others also cheered up and attacked the Shadow Demon again.

The Shadow Fiend was losing ground and was about to be completely wiped out.

A hint of madness suddenly flashed in its scarlet eyes, and a sharp roar came out of its mouth.

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

The Shadow Demon's body began to swell, and black aura surged out of it, spreading rapidly like billowing smoke.

"Oh no! It's going to self-destruct!" Tianjizi exclaimed.

Xiao Bei's face suddenly changed. He knew that the power of the Shadow Demon's self-explosion was enormous, enough to raze the entire cave to the ground.

He must make a choice: to resist this destructive force alone, or to escape with everyone?

"Xiao Bei..." Bei Li held Xiao Bei's hand tightly.

Xiao Bei looked at the huge energy of the Shadow Demon's self-explosion with a determined look...
