Chapter 125: Chapter 125 The Passage Opens
On the towering, mysterious and unknown mountaintop, a thrilling battle has raged on for a long time, as if time itself had lost its original measure in this fierce confrontation. The wind howls like a ferocious demon, rampaging wildly and sweeping across the entire mountaintop with irresistible force. The whistling of the wind is shrill and ear-piercing, as if it were going to drag everything in the world into the endless abyss of darkness. Sand and stones are swirling in the air, and each grain of sand and stone has been imbued with great power by the wind, flying around like hidden weapons, blurring everyone's vision so that they can only barely make out the dim outlines of their surroundings.
The mysterious figure hovers in mid-air, exuding an extremely eerie black aura. That aura seems to be a living thing, constantly writhing and churning, like countless black vipers dancing wildly. This aura contains a terrifyingly evil force that launches fierce attacks wave after wave towards the people around. Every time it attacks, it is accompanied by a violent shock in the air, as if the space itself is being distorted and deformed under the impact of this force.
Lin Yu and his companions huddle closely together, and the trust and tacit understanding among them have formed an unbreakable defense line. In Lin Yu's eyes, there is a moving firmness and determination, which is his persistent longing to return home and his sense of responsibility towards his companions. His hands quickly form seals in front of his body, with smooth and skilled movements. Each change of the seal contains a powerful surge of spiritual power. Spiritual power gushes out continuously from his body like a surging tide, forming a faint white halo around him, which stands in sharp contrast to the mysterious person's black aura, just like the confrontation between light and darkness.
He knows full well that the outcome of this battle is related to whether they can open the time-space passage, and also to whether he and Li Qiang can return to their hometown that they have been yearning for day and night. Everything in their hometown, those familiar streets, the faces of their relatives, and the warm sunshine, are all like distant but bright lighthouses, guiding him forward in the darkness. "Come on, everyone! We can't let this mysterious person succeed!" Lin Yu shouted with all his might. His voice, despite the howling of the wind, is still clearly audible, resounding like a huge bell and shaking everyone's hearts. The power contained in that voice seems to have a magical charm, bringing endless courage and strength to his companions. Everyone gritted their teeth, with determined expressions on their faces, and tried their best to resist the mysterious person's attacks.
The mysterious person's attacks become even more ferocious, as if enraged by everyone's resistance. Streaks of black light flash across the sky like lightning, so fast that people hardly have time to react. Each streak of light contains the power to destroy everything, as if it were the power of destruction from the depths of hell. Where the black light strikes the ground, huge craters appear instantly. The edges of the craters are uneven, and the surrounding rocks are shattered into countless debris by the powerful force and fly around. Those debris, carried by the wind, turn into new weapons of attack and rush towards everyone.
Lin Yu and his companions are already covered in wounds. Sweat and blood are intertwined, flowing down their cheeks continuously. The pain from the wounds stings their nerves like sharp knives, but none of them flinch. While resisting the mysterious person's attacks, Lin Yu quickly analyzes the opponent's attack patterns and weaknesses in his mind. There is a calmness and wisdom in his eyes, and he doesn't miss any detail. He knows that only by finding the mysterious person's weakness can he completely suppress him and create conditions for opening the time-space passage.
After a fierce battle that seems to have no end, with the joint efforts of everyone, the mysterious
person's attacks are finally gradually suppressed. His originally overwhelming black aura also begins to dim a bit, like a flame about to go out, losing its former arrogance. The frequency and power of the attacks have significantly decreased, no longer having the overwhelming advantage as at the beginning. Lin Yu keenly senses this change, and a surge of excitement rises in his heart, but at the same time, he remains highly vigilant. He knows that the opportunity for a counterattack has quietly arrived.
Lin Yu takes a deep breath, adjusting his breathing and the flow of his spiritual power. In his body, the spiritual power is surging like a turbulent current, and every cell is cheering and releasing all its power. He gathers all his spiritual power in his hands. At this moment, his hands emit a dazzling white light, which is pure and powerful, as if the radiance of the sun has descended to the mortal world. "Hah!" Lin Yu shouts loudly, his voice full of power and determination. He suddenly pushes his hands forward, and a powerful wave of spiritual power rushes towards the mysterious person. Where the wave of spiritual power passes, the air seems to be torn apart, making a "sizzling" sound, as if the space is moaning in pain.
The mysterious person senses this powerful threat, and a trace of panic flashes in his eyes. He tries to dodge, twisting his body quickly in mid-air, attempting to avoid this fatal blow. However, it's all too late. The wave of spiritual power is like an enraged dragon, carrying boundless power and momentum, and hitting him heavily. The mysterious person's body is instantly sent flying several feet away, tracing a long arc in the air, and finally crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. The dust shrouds his figure, making it impossible to see his condition clearly for a while.
Lin Yu doesn't slack off for a moment. Taking this opportunity, he increases the output of his spiritual power and goes all out to stabilize the time-space passage. Under the previous attacks of the mysterious person, the time-space passage has become somewhat unstable. The light around the passage is flickering uncertainly, as if it might close at any moment. That flickering light is like a fragile heart, beating with difficulty. Lin Yu focuses his attention and carefully injects his spiritual power into the time-space passage like threads. His forehead is covered with fine beads of sweat, and every bit of spiritual power output requires his full concentration to control. A slight mistake could lead to the collapse of the time-space passage, and all their efforts would be in vain. However, Lin Yu doesn't flinch at all. There is an unparalleled firmness in his eyes, a kind of persistent pursuit of his goal, a determination to never give up until he achieves it.
As Lin Yu continuously injects his spiritual power, the time-space passage gradually stabilizes. The light around the passage also becomes brighter and brighter, like the rising sun, radiating warmth and powerful power. The light gradually spreads out, illuminating everything around, adding a bit of vitality and hope to the originally dark and oppressive mountaintop. "Hold on a little longer, everyone! The passage is about to open!" Lin Yu shouts loudly, his voice full of joy and anticipation. This voice is like a spring breeze blowing into the tired hearts of his companions, making them cheer up again.
When his companions hear Lin Yu's words, a surge of hopeful power rises in their hearts. Despite their injuries, they increase their attacks on the mysterious person again to prevent him from destroying the time-space passage at the last moment. There is firmness and determination in their eyes, as if they are declaring to the mysterious person: We won't let you succeed! Time seems to stand still at this moment, and every second passes extremely slowly. Everyone is nervously waiting for that moment to arrive.
Finally, with a deafening bang, the time-space passage is finally fully opened. A dazzling light shines out from it, so intense that it illuminates the entire mountaintop. The mountaintop that was originally shrouded in darkness is now as bright as day. In the light, there seems to be contained endless mysteries and unknowns, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Qiang is so excited that his face turns red, and tears of excitement are shining in his eyes. He spreads his arms and shouts loudly, "Lin Yu, the passage is open! We can go home!" His voice is full of joy and excitement, which is a deep yearning and longing for his hometown. All the hardships he has endured during these years of wandering in a foreign land have turned into tears of happiness at this moment.
Lin Yu looks at the time-space passage in front of him, and his heart is filled with mixed emotions. Over the years, he and Li Qiang have gone through countless hardships and dangers in this strange world, encountering all kinds of perils. They once struggled against hunger and thirst in the desolate desert, fought against fierce beasts in the deep forest, and solved ancient puzzles in mysterious ruins. They have been in desperate situations many times, thinking that their lives were about to come to an end each time, but with their mutual trust and indomitable will, they managed to turn the tide and survive. Now, they have finally waited for the day to go home.
He turns around and looks at Su Yao and his other friends, his heart filled with gratitude and reluctance. These friends have always been by his side, giving him help and support when he was in the most difficult times. They have fought side by side and spent countless unforgettable days together. Those pictures of them laughing, crying, and struggling together are constantly playing in his mind like a movie. "Everyone, thank you for your company and help over the years. Li Qiang and I are going home. Take care of yourselves!" Lin Yu's voice is a bit choked up, and he tries his best to hold back his reluctance as he says to everyone.
There are tears in Su Yao's eyes, and her heart is filled with reluctance for Lin Yu. After these years of getting along, she has already developed deep feelings for Lin Yu. This feeling goes beyond friendship, but at this moment of parting, it is indescribable. She slowly walks forward and hugs Lin Yu tightly, as if she wants to engrave his appearance deeply in her heart. Her body is trembling slightly, and tears keep flowing, wetting Lin Yu's shoulder. "Lin Yu, you must be safe. I will always remember you." Su Yao whispers softly, her voice full of attachment and worry.
Lin Yu gently pats Su Yao's back, trying to comfort her. However, his heart is also filled with sadness and reluctance. He knows that this separation might mean that they will never meet again. This world and their hometown seem to be two parallel universes, and once they leave, it will be very difficult for them to have any connection again. After letting go of Su Yao, Lin Yu says goodbye to his other friends one by one. Everyone's face is written with reluctance, but they all know that Lin Yu and Li Qiang have their own hometown and their own concerns.
Finally, Lin Yu and Li Qiang walk towards the time-space passage together. The light emanating from the passage shrouds their figures. Their steps are firm and powerful, carrying their longing for their hometown and their anticipation for the future. When they step into the time-space passage, the light instantly engulfs them. The people on the mountaintop look at the gradually disappearing light, and their hearts are filled with emotions. They know that the story of Lin Yu and Li Qiang will always remain in this world and become a legend.
And on the other side of the time-space passage, Lin Yu and Li Qiang are about to welcome their long-awaited hometown. They don't know what changes will have taken place in their hometown, and whether those familiar people and things are still the same as before. But their hearts are full of anticipation, looking forward to reuniting with their relatives and returning to that place full of warmth and memories. No matter what they will encounter in the future, they will face it hand in hand, because they are the best partners and will always be brothers.
