Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 239 Mysterious Helper

The thick, inky black evil aura, like an impenetrable net, swept over Li Zhao and his companions.

This evil aura brought with it a suffocating oppressive force, quickly enveloping them tightly.

Every breath became a painful torture for them, as if they were swallowing endless darkness with difficulty.

The heavy, evil breath continuously poured into their nasal cavities and mouths, spreading down their respiratory tract until it filled their entire lungs.

Their lungs were filled with this dull, oppressive feeling, making it almost impossible for them to breathe smoothly. Their chests ached and felt as if a heavy burden was weighing on them.

Despite the dangerous situation, their eyes were always fixed on the core of the world.

Once upon a time, the core of the world radiated a soft and warm light, like a shining pearl illuminating the world.

The light was no longer complete, but was ruthlessly cut into pieces of fragmented light spots by countless hideous cracks.

From these cracks, a strange aura continuously gushed out. That aura was eerie and cold, like the chilling wind from the Netherworld, bringing waves of chills to people's skin as it blew across them.

What's even more terrifying is that this breath seems to turn into an invisible big hand, silently reaching out to everyone's heart, and then suddenly squeezes hard!

In an instant, that creepy feeling spread throughout the body, making people tremble all over, and the heartbeat became rapid and disordered.

"This crack is getting bigger and bigger. Could it be that the core of the world is about to..."

At this moment, Su Mengyao's terrified voice suddenly rang out.

Her voice trembled unconsciously due to excessive fear, just like a weak candle flame blown by the biting cold wind in the cold night, appearing extremely fragile and seemed likely to be blown out at any time.

Before she finished her words, a violent earthquake as earth-shaking and overwhelming as a tidal wave suddenly struck!

The earth began to shake violently, cracks appeared in the ground, and bottomless ravines appeared. Mountains collapsed, huge rocks rolled down, and the whole world fell into chaos and destruction.

The strong shock instantly tore apart Su Mengyao's unfinished words, leaving only a heart-wrenching silence.

Along with this vibration, several black lightning bolts suddenly shot out from the cracks in the core of the world. They bared their fangs and claws, like ferocious giant pythons from the abyss, carrying a breath of destruction and rushing towards everyone.

Li Zhao reacted extremely quickly and swung the lightsaber in his hand in an instant. The blade cut through the air, bringing out a sharp light, trying to cut off the lightning with the sword.

But the black lightning was extremely cunning. It nimbly avoided the attack of the lightsaber and passed by the corner of his clothes, leaving only a pungent charred mark, as if it was the mockery of the devil.

"Be careful!" The Crown Princess's cry suddenly rang out in the cave. She quickly formed seals with her hands and summoned a blazing flame barrier.

The scorching flames surged, trying to block the invasion of black lightning.

These lightning bolts were like ghosts, piercing straight through the flames and continuing to rush towards the crowd with undiminished momentum.

Just when everyone was filled with despair and at a loss, a melodious bell sound came from the depths of the cave.

The sound of the bell is like a clear stream, flowing slowly in the thick darkness, carrying an indescribable mystery and tranquility.

As the bell rang, those arrogant black lightnings disappeared like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, as if they had never appeared.

Everyone looked in the direction of the bell in astonishment, and saw a figure in a white robe slowly walking towards them.

The robe fluttered gently in the wind, emitting a soft and warm light, gradually dispelling the darkness around it.

When the figure came closer, they could see clearly that it was an old man with white hair.

The old man's eyes revealed the wisdom and compassion accumulated over the years. In his hand, he held a small bronze bell. The bell was engraved with mysterious patterns, as if telling an ancient story.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Li Zhao asked vigilantly, holding a lightsaber, staring at the old man, not daring to relax at all.

The old man smiled slightly, that smile was like a spring breeze, his voice was gentle but with an irresistible power:

"I am one of the guardians of this continent. For a long time, I have been quietly watching the movements here. Now that the forces of darkness are rampant and the core of the world is in danger, I am forced to show up."

As he spoke, the old man looked up at the core of the world, and a layer of worry instantly covered his originally peaceful face:

"The changes at the core of this world are far more troublesome than I imagined. The infiltration of dark forces has disrupted the order within the core of the world. If we can't stop it in time, the entire world will be swallowed by endless darkness and plunged into eternal damnation."

After hearing this, Li Zhao and others felt heavy in their hearts, as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on them.

They knew very well that with their current strength, they were no match for such a powerful crisis.

The old man seemed to see through their thoughts. He raised his hand gently and waved it slowly. The bronze bell in his hand made a crisp sound again.

This time, the sound of the bell turned into bright rays of light, and like lively elves, merged into the bodies of Li Zhao and others.

"This is the power I bestow upon you. I hope it can help you."

The old man's voice echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of expectation.

Li Zhao and others instantly felt a new force surging in their bodies, and their originally tired bodies were also refreshed.

They took a deep breath, gathered their strength again, and stood ready to face the coming crisis.

The guardian of the dark will reappeared. Its figure was even more ethereal than before, surrounded by a thick layer of black mist. Strange runes flickered in the mist, and each rune seemed like an evil curse.

"You think you can stop me with this little bit of power? That's just wishful thinking!"

The Guardian of Dark Will sneered sharply, his voice full of disdain and ridicule.

As soon as the voice fell, it suddenly opened its arms, and a dark force so powerful that it was suffocating rushed towards everyone like a surging tide.

Li Zhao and others immediately mobilized their internal strength and resisted with all their might.

Under the impact of the dark power, their figures seemed so small and fragile. Their feet left deep marks on the ground and they gradually could not hold on.

Just when everyone was in dire straits, the scene he had seen in the core of the world before suddenly flashed through Li Zhao's mind.

Those ancient beings seemed to use a special method of power fusion in battle.

He suddenly had an idea and without thinking too much, he immediately told Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess about it.

The three of them looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

They quickly took their positions, closed their eyes, and concentrated their minds completely.

Li Zhao closed his eyes tightly, veins popping out on his forehead, and tried his best to guide the power of the crystal and the ancient book.

Su Mengyao danced with her hands quickly, and the ice-blue spiritual power surged and gathered around her like surging waves.

The two completely different forces gradually began to converge, forming a huge energy ball above their heads. Within the energy ball, light flickered and danced continuously, and various forces intertwined and collided with each other, making a sizzling sound.

Seeing this, the Guardian of Dark Will's eyes flashed with panic.

It realized the danger and immediately increased the output of dark power, trying to defeat everyone completely before the energy ball fusion was completed.

The dark force was like a black storm, madly attacking the defenses of Li Zhao and others.

Li Zhao and others gritted their teeth, their clothes soaked with sweat, but they still tried their best to promote the fusion method.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second seemed extremely long.

With everyone's unremitting efforts, the energy balls were successfully fused, bursting out with a dazzling light that illuminated the entire cave. The light even penetrated the black fog surrounding the Guardian of Dark Will.

In the light, the figures of Li Zhao and others were looming, and their power reached an unprecedented level.

Li Zhao shouted loudly and controlled the energy ball, shooting towards the guardian of the dark will like a meteor.

The energy ball, with its earth-shattering power, instantly hit the guardian of the dark will.

The guardian of the dark will let out a shrill scream, and his body began to slowly dissipate like smoke.

When everyone saw this, they felt a surge of joy in their hearts, thinking that victory was in sight.

Suddenly, even more terrifying changes occurred at the core of the world.

The crack expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a more powerful and more evil dark force surged out from it, like an awakened ancient beast, re-condensing the body of the guardian of the dark will.

"You think you can destroy me like this? How naive! I have awakened the dark power at the core of this world. It will become my endless source of power!"

The Guardian of Dark Will laughed wildly, his voice full of pride and arrogance.

Li Zhao and others watched this scene in horror. They never expected that the power of darkness would be so tenacious and so difficult to defeat.

The old man's expression also became extremely solemn, his brows furrowed tightly into the shape of the Chinese character "川":

“It seems that this dark force has become closely connected with the core of the world, forming a strange symbiotic relationship.

We must find a more powerful force to completely seal it, otherwise, everything will be destroyed."

Just when everyone was filled with despair and felt powerless to change the situation, the crystal in Li Zhao's hand suddenly emitted a strange light.

This light was completely different from the previous one. It carried a warm and peaceful atmosphere, like the warm sun in winter, forming a sharp contrast with the dark power.

In the crystal light, a vague figure was looming, and the figure seemed to be trying to convey some important information.

Li Zhao widened his eyes and tried to concentrate, trying to decipher this mysterious message.

A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly, "I understand! This crystal contains an ancient and powerful sealing power that may be used to fight against this terrifying dark force!"

After hearing this, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.

Before they could be happy, the dark forces in the core of the world launched another attack.

Countless black tentacles stretched out wildly from the darkness, twisting and rolling, like a group of hungry snakes, rushing towards the crowd.
