Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 249 Unexpected Crisis

Within the core, the previously calm spiritual energy suddenly surged like a surging tide, like a sleeping beast suddenly awakened. With boundless fury and frenzy, it recklessly assaulted the surrounding barriers. The members of the expedition team sat together, enthusiastically discussing how to rationally distribute this immense force to maximize the team's strength. However, at this critical moment, an unexpected incident interrupted their discussion.

Space seemed to be being kneaded by an invisible hand, twisting and deforming. The once solid ground became like a flowing liquid, undulating and fluctuating. Every step felt like stepping on empty space. A palpitating, oppressive feeling filled the air, as if something was about to burst forth, bringing devastating disaster.

"What's going on?!" Yun Yi bore the brunt of the attack. His figure swung, then, as light as willow catkins in the wind, he stood firmly in the twisting space. His gaze, like a torch, pierced through the layers of chaotic spiritual energy, trying to discern the truth behind it. His heart was filled with doubt and uneasiness, but even more so, a wariness of the unknown.

Arya's expression instantly grew solemn, her golden eyes gleaming with a wary light, as if able to see through all illusions. Her hands unconsciously formed a defensive spiritual shield, protecting herself and her teammates. "The core... the core seems unstable!" Her voice was calm, but the anxiety and worry in it were hard to conceal. She knew that if the core collapsed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Kevin snapped the ancient tome in his hands shut. His brow furrowed, his eyes gleaming with thought and confusion. "This...this is impossible! According to ancient texts, the source of spiritual power should be stable and long-lasting, unless..." He paused, his face turning pale as if he had thought of something horrible.

"Unless what?" Feng Wuhen's voice was as cold as a knife, seemingly slicing through the gloomy air. He moved like a ghost, approaching Kevin's side, his eyes filled with urgency and inquiry. He knew that every second of this moment was crucial.

Kevin took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart. "Unless there's some external force interfering, or... the core itself is incubating some kind of change we're unaware of." His voice was low and heavy, as if every word carried an immense pressure.

"Now isn't the time to discuss the reasons!" Yun Yi's voice echoed throughout the core, his gaze firm and resolute as he scanned each member. "We must act immediately to stabilize the core. Otherwise, if the core collapses, we will all perish!" His voice was filled with unquestionable firmness and determination.

Upon hearing this, the members of the expedition perked up, knowing that unity and cooperation were crucial at this moment. Arya took action first. With a wave of her hands, a golden spiritual barrier instantly enveloped the entire team, like an indestructible shield, resisting the invasion of the distorted space outside.

"Everyone, follow me and inject spiritual power into the core. Try to guide this violent energy!" Yun Yi shouted loudly. He also mobilized his spiritual power without hesitation, transforming into a stream of light, like lightning piercing the night sky, rushing towards the depths of the core. His figure loomed in the waves of spiritual power, as if merging with this power.

Feng Wuhen followed closely behind, his figure elusive and ghostly, each flicker leaving a trail of afterimages behind, like a spirit leaping through space. His spiritual power, like a sharp blade, precisely sliced through the chaotic flow of spiritual energy, attempting to find the point of stability that would calm the violent force.

Kevin, unwilling to be outdone, chanted an ancient incantation that seemed to carry a mysterious power. The ancient tome in his hands swirled without a breeze, and as he flipped through the pages, strings of ancient runes emerged from the air, striking a strange resonance with the spiritual energy within the core. These runes, as if alive, guided this energy back on track, restoring stability to the core.

The other members of the expedition team followed suit, either gathering spiritual energy balls or unleashing spiritual energy techniques, pouring their unreserved strength into the core. For a moment, spiritual energy surged within the core, shimmering with light, as if countless hands were invisibly intertwining, colliding, and fusing, weaving a stable net to firmly restrain this violent force.

However, despite their best efforts, the fluctuations in the core's spiritual energy seemed to grow more intense, and the space became increasingly distorted. Even tiny cracks began to appear, revealing the terrifying darkness and nothingness of the outside world. It was as if something was stirring within the cracks, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

"This won't work! We must find the root cause!" Yun Yi's voice resounded in everyone's ears. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if piercing through layers of fog and chaotic spiritual energy, seeing the core of the problem. His heart was filled with determination and courage. He knew that only by finding the root cause could the problem be completely resolved.

"Right! Only by finding the source of that disturbing force can we completely stabilize the core!" Arya realized this, her golden eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. She moved like a flash of golden lightning streaking through the night sky, ready to explore deeper into the core. She knew this was a race against time, and there was no room for hesitation.
