From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 210 The Final Chapter of Exploring the Mystery: Xiao Yao's Fate

My hand trembled as I touched the symbol, and a strange energy instantly flowed through my body.

The walls seemed to melt away, revealing a deep passageway.

I took a deep breath and went inside.

At the end of the passage was a wide-open area, where a magnificent castle stood in the center, shimmering with a mysterious light.

Is this the core area of ​​the castle?

As soon as I took a step in, I felt a powerful restrictive force coming towards me, like an invisible wall blocking my way.

I tried to use my spiritual power to attack, but it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea—completely ineffective.

Anxiety is coiling around my heart like vines; how can I break free from this restraint?

The air around me seemed to freeze, and a dangerous atmosphere permeated the air, pressing down on my nerves.

Just as I was getting extremely anxious, Kuroba's figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

With a strange smile on his face, he slowly stretched out his hand, and black mist surged from his palm, merging with the restrictions surrounding the castle.

The light from the barrier grew increasingly dazzling, eventually coalescing into a massive black figure that exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

The figure slowly turned its head, its empty eyes staring at me as if from hell.

My heart sank. Is this the enemy I'm about to face?

“Xiao Yao,” Hei Yu’s voice rang out like a ghost, “you have finally come here. But do you think you can obtain the opportunities here? It’s all over…” As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure rushed towards me, the powerful force making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I gripped the sword tightly, forcing myself to calm down.

"You're still a long way from defeating me!" I roared and charged forward.

Damn it, this power...

Black Feather's attacks were like a storm, and I struggled to defend myself, but I felt my strength rapidly draining away.

Damn it, what kind of evil magic is this?

His power seemed inexhaustible, while I found myself increasingly powerless.

Sweat soaked my clothes, and my breathing became rapid.

Danger, unprecedented danger!

The surrounding environment began to distort and change, and illusions surged in like a tide.

I felt as if I were in a sea of ​​fire, the scorching flames licking my skin; the next moment, I fell into a cold abyss, the biting chill making me shiver.

All sorts of attacks came from all directions, and I was exhausted and anxious.

"Give up, Xiao Yao, you can't possibly be my match!" Hei Yu's voice was full of sarcasm, like a venomous snake burrowing into my ears.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to stay awake.

No, I can't give up!

I still have things I need to do; I can't fall here!

I brandished my sword, deflecting the attacks time and time again.

My body has reached its limit; every swing of the sword feels like it's exhausting all my strength.

The oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible for me to breathe; the shadow of death loomed over me.

Am I really going to die here?

Suddenly, I felt a strange power surging within me.

This power...

What is it?

My heart was moved. Could it be...

"It's not over yet!" I roared, a power I'd never felt before...

An unprecedented power surged from his dantian and flowed throughout his body!

I felt a warm current surging through my body, as if a sleeping dragon had finally awakened.

Is this the power I've been searching for?

I was overjoyed. Could it be that the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus had finally taken effect?

In a moment of inspiration, I merged the spiritual power within my body with this newborn force, and a strange energy fluctuation spread out from me.

The distorted illusion around me shattered instantly, and I returned to reality.

"How is this possible?!" Kuroba stared at me in horror, his eyes wide with disbelief.

I sneered, and the longsword in my hand shone brightly, its golden light as dazzling as the sun.

"Now, it's my turn!" I shouted, my sword flashing like a rainbow, piercing straight at Black Feather!

He frantically dodged, but was still injured by the sword energy, and black mist dissipated from his body.

I pressed my advantage, my swordplay flowing like clouds and water, each strike imbued with immense power.

Kuroba was forced to retreat in defeat, his face filled with terror and despair.

"No! This is impossible! I'm not reconciled!" Black Feather let out a shrill roar as his black figure gradually dissipated and finally vanished into nothingness.

With the disappearance of Black Feather, the restrictions surrounding the castle also collapsed.

I walked step by step toward the heart of the castle, where a powerful force emanated from its depths, drawing me forward.

I pushed open the castle gate, and a dazzling light illuminated the entire space.

At the heart of the castle, a giant crystal ball floats in the air, radiating a chilling power.

Is this the ultimate opportunity in the Immortal Realm?

I took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and touched the crystal ball.

A powerful surge of energy instantly flowed into my body, and I felt my strength rapidly increasing, as if I had broken through some kind of shackle and reached a completely new realm.

I slowly opened my eyes, a sharp glint in them.

I made it!

I have obtained the ultimate opportunity in the Immortal Realm!

Everything around me seemed to submit to my feet, and a feeling of complete control arose spontaneously.

I turned around and saw that Fairy Kongling, Ziyun, Daoist Qingfeng, and the others were staring at me in shock.

I smiled slightly, about to speak, when suddenly, I sensed an unusual aura...

“Wait,” I said, glancing into the distance, my eyes narrowing slightly, “it looks like something’s about to happen…”

A strong spatial fluctuation came from afar, and I felt a chill. Following the fluctuation, I saw Mo Yuan's figure appear in mid-air. His face was pale, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he looked extremely disheveled.

"What's going on?" the ethereal fairy exclaimed, clearly startled by the sudden turn of events.

Mo Yuan's body trembled violently, as if he were enduring immense pain.

He glared at me venomously and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yao, you...you just wait!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong black aura suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping him completely.

The black energy surged and churned, emitting piercing screams, as if something was about to burst forth.

My heart sank. What exactly did Mo Yuan do?

The next moment, the black mist suddenly dissipated, and Mo Yuan's figure also disappeared.

All that remained was a nauseating, fishy stench that permeated the air, as if it were the remnant of some evil force.

"What...what's wrong with him?" Ziyun asked, trembling, her face filled with fear.

I shook my head, still puzzled.

Mo Yuan's sudden disappearance made me feel uneasy.

Where did he go?

What consequences will this bring?

However, these are not issues I need to consider right now.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my doubts, turned to look at Fairy Kongling and the others, and said with a smile, "Everyone, our trip to the Immortal Realm has come to an end, and it's time for us to leave."

The ethereal fairy nodded, stepped forward, bowed deeply to me, and said, "Xiao Yao, thank you for saving the Immortal Realm. We will never forget your kindness."

I quickly helped her up and said with a smile, "Fairy, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Afterwards, our group left the Immortal Realm and returned to the world of cultivation.

The moment I stepped out of the Immortal Realm, I felt countless gazes fixed on me—curious, envious, jealous, and...

Killing intent?

I smiled slightly. It seems that my return is destined to stir up a bloody storm.

"Xiao Yao..." A familiar voice came. I turned my head and saw Wen Chen standing not far away, looking at me with a worried expression.

My heart warmed, and I quickly walked to his side, took his hand, and whispered, "I'm back."

Wen Chen held my hand tightly. He didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside me, like a solid mountain, sheltering me from the wind and rain.

I took a deep breath and looked up into the distance.

"In the world of cultivation, I, Xiao Yao, have returned!"

A powerful aura emanated from me, sweeping across the entire cultivation world.

"Wait..." I suddenly sensed something was off...
