My carefree life in space

Chapter 282 A Chance Encounter

Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping walked intently through the passage leading to the sealed land. The passage was pitch black, with only the faint light from their magical artifacts illuminating the path beneath their feet.

The surrounding walls were damp, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench, mixed with a strong demonic aura.

Lin Shushu held the Brahma Bowl in her hand, the golden runes on its surface shimmering slightly, as if alerting to potential dangers around her.

The three proceeded cautiously, each step taken with utmost care. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind them, exceptionally clear in the silent passage.

Lin Shushu and the other two immediately stopped, their nerves on edge. This commotion definitely wasn't caused by Venerable Lingyun and his group, so there was only one possibility.

The three exchanged a glance, understanding the gravity of the situation, and quickened their pace, rushing towards the end of the passage.

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord and a group of high-ranking demons had entered the passage and were rapidly heading in their direction. The Demon Lord wore a ruthless expression, plotting how to use the power of the Demon God to annihilate the human ants once they entered the sealed land.

"Wait, have you detected anything unusual?" A high-ranking demon sniffed and suddenly asked.

"What time is it? Why are you still concerned about auras?" another somewhat irritable demon high-ranking member replied impatiently.

Upon hearing their words, the Demon Lord collected his thoughts, calmed himself down, and his expression changed drastically.

"There is indeed something going on!" the Demon Lord concluded. Upon hearing this, the other demons also carefully sensed the difference in the air. Soon, they noticed the change in the atmosphere.

The Dark Abyss has always been inhabited only by demons, who know this place intimately and can easily detect the presence of outsiders.

The reason they didn't notice it immediately was because they had just left the battlefield, which was occupied by humans. The human aura was quite strong there, causing them to sense the same aura here, and they didn't react for a moment.

"Oh no, their target is the Demon God!" a high-ranking demon exclaimed anxiously.

The Demon Lord didn't answer, but instead quickened his pace. Upon sensing the presence of humans, he knew their purpose. Humans were indeed treacherous; besides launching a sneak attack, they had even secretly infiltrated their forbidden territory.

Sensing the commotion behind them drawing ever closer, Lin Shushu and her companions dared not pause for a moment. What awaited them ahead was unknown—perhaps an abyss—but they had no choice but to press on, for the pursuers behind them were hostile.

As Xiao Jingping advanced rapidly, he cast spells, setting up formations within the passage in an attempt to hinder the demons' pursuit.

However, the strength of the demon race should not be underestimated. The Demon Lord and the demon race's high-ranking members easily broke through the formation set up by Xiao Jingping, and their speed increased, gradually closing in on Lin Shushu and her companions.

The Demon Lord recognized the three figures ahead, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. He hadn't expected these humans to be so young. A ferocious smile spread across his face. "You ants, how dare you trespass into my clan's forbidden land! Today is your death day!"

At the Demon Lord's command, the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan unleashed their spells, and black demonic energy surged towards Lin Shushu and her companions like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, Lin Shushu immediately manipulated the Brahma Bowl, releasing a powerful golden light to block the demonic energy. However, the impact of the demonic energy was too great, and her body trembled slightly, clearly under immense pressure.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping did not back down at all. They stood on either side of Lin Shushu, fighting alongside her. Mo Ze wielded his spirit sword, constantly slashing at the approaching demonic energy. The blade collided with the demonic energy, producing bursts of booming sounds. Xiao Jingping continued to cast spells, trying to disrupt the rhythm of the demons' attacks.

When Lin Shushu activated the Brahma Bowl, a look of joy flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes. He never expected that the Brahma Bowl would come to him so unexpectedly.

"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck for my demon race!" The Demon Lord laughed loudly, his laughter echoing through the narrow passage, filled with arrogance and triumph.

He knew in his heart that the Brahma Bowl, as a divine artifact, possessed the powerful ability to resist evil forces and had always been a huge obstacle on the path of the demon god to break the seal.

Once the Brahma Bowl is destroyed, the Demon God will be able to break through the seal without any further obstacles. At that time, even if the righteous cultivators outside had the upper hand in the previous battle, what would it matter? In the face of the Demon God's earth-shattering power, everything would be reduced to nothing, and the fate of the continent would be completely controlled by the Demon Race.

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes, and the demonic energy around him surged wildly like a raging black tide as he continued to launch attacks with all his might.

He swung his hands violently, and streaks of black demonic light shot towards Lin Shushu like arrows. At the same time, he loudly commanded the demon high-ranking members beside him, "Attack with all your might! Destroy the Brahma Bowl!"

Upon receiving the order, the demon clan's high-ranking members unleashed their signature spells. A demon elder formed complex hand seals, and instantly, the ground of the passage began to tremble violently. Sharp black stone pillars burst forth from the ground, piercing towards Lin Shushu and the others.

Another demon general brandished a strange weapon that resembled a combination of an axe and a scythe, leaped up, and slashed down at Lin Shushu, his fierce aura seemingly capable of cleaving the air itself.

Lin Shushu felt unprecedented pressure. She gripped the Brahma Bowl tightly with both hands and channeled her spiritual power to the fullest extent, trying to resist the demons' frenzied attacks.

Golden light flickered across the surface of the Brahma Bowl, clashing with the black demonic energy to form a dazzling wall of light. However, the demons' attacks were too fierce, and cracks began to appear in the light wall, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping were also locked in a fierce battle. Mo Ze brandished his longsword, slashing repeatedly at the black stone pillars. As the sword flashed, black stone chips flew in all directions, but his spiritual energy was also being rapidly depleted.

While casting spells to reinforce Lin Shushu's defenses, Xiao Jingping also dodged attacks from the demon race's higher-ups. Soon, he was bleeding from his body.

Lin Shushu knew that this couldn't go on. She remembered that when she dealt with Hei Sa, she had used the power of the Brahma Bowl and the Star Mirror. Thinking of this, her tense mood relaxed a little.

She took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and fully activated the power of the Star Mirror. Under her control, the Star Mirror emitted a soft yet profound light, and the star patterns on its surface flickered, as if countless stars were flowing within it.

As Lin Shushu urged it on, the power of the Star Mirror flowed like a clear spring, continuously converging into the golden light wall formed by the Brahma Bowl.

In an instant, the golden light wall, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse and riddled with cracks, burst forth with dazzling light. The light spread outwards as if it were a tangible substance, forming an even more solid and powerful defensive barrier that tightly protected Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping behind them.

"Boom!" The demon's attack slammed into the reinforced light wall, producing a deafening sound. The black demonic light and the golden light collided and surged, unleashing a powerful energy fluctuation. The air inside the passage was violently stirred up, as if it were about to be torn apart.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Demon Lord and the other high-ranking demons froze on their faces, replaced by shock and anger.
