The Final Restoration

Chapter 13: The Final Restoration. After successfully uncovering and crushing the schemes of the Shadow Society and the other diehard factions, the Alliance was united once more. Mu Chen knew full well that time was running short; every minute and second of delay could plunge the Spirit Void Continent deeper into crisis. Without hesitation, he led his companions back into the work of restoring the spiritual energy balance, throwing themselves into it wholeheartedly as they made their final sprint toward victory. They raced tirelessly toward the remaining critical nodes. Each had its own unique terrain and spiritual energy properties, posing enormous challenges to setting up the formations. Some nodes lay beside the bottomless Spirit Abyss, where spiritual energy surged and roared like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, impossible to tame; a moment of carelessness could leave them swallowed by the torrent. Others lay within the Spirit Void Illusory Domain, where the fabric of space was exceedingly unstable. There, reality and illusion intertwined, and the formations' runes could be destroyed in an instant by distorted spatial power. As Mu Chen and the others approached the node beside the Spirit Abyss, they immediately felt the crushing pressure of its powerful spiritual energy. Fierce winds howled, and spiritual energy sliced past their cheeks like sharpened blades. Mu Chen drew a deep breath and stepped into the Spiritual Energy Storm first. He deployed the Star Perception Art, merging his spiritual energy with the surrounding energy in an attempt to uncover the patterns of its flow. Yet the spiritual energy of the Spirit Abyss was far too violent. The moment his perception touched it, it vanished like a clay ox sinking into the sea. "This spiritual energy is too powerful. Conventional methods probably won't work," Mu Chen said with a frown.
