Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 245 Core Battle

Facing the dark power that was surging like a raging tsunami, Li Zhao's eyes flashed with determination, and he swung the lightsaber in his hand with all his strength without hesitation.

The muscles in his arms were tense, veins bulging, and the lightsaber was danced tightly in his hands, trying to forcibly hold up a safe place to live in this destructive force that could destroy the world.

The lightsaber slashed through the air at high speed, making a sharp whistling sound, like the cry of an angry hawk. However, the strength of the dark power was far beyond imagination. Every violent impact made his arms tremble violently, and waves of soreness and numbness quickly spread throughout his body. The base of his palm was even cracked, and blood flowed out, slowly sliding down the hilt and dripping onto the ground beneath his feet that was emitting a strange fluorescent light. It was instantly swallowed by the darkness, leaving no trace.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess stood side by side, working closely together. Su Mengyao's hands quickly formed seals in front of her, her movements smooth and flowing yet with a hint of urgency.

The ice-blue spiritual power gathered quickly in her palm like a lively elf, and in the blink of an eye it condensed into a huge ice shield.

The ice shield was crystal clear, its surface gleaming with cold light and emitting a biting chill. The Crown Princess ignited blazing flames with both palms, continuously injecting the power of the flames into the ice shield.

The flames and the ice shield blended with each other, and a strange scene suddenly bloomed in the darkness. A faint golden light appeared on the surface of the ice shield, and a slight sizzling sound was emitted as the cold and heat intertwined.

Faced with the endless power of darkness, their defense could only barely hold on. Under the continuous impact of the dark power, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the ice shield, as if it would shatter at any time.

The spirit user gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in her shoulder. Her face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, each a testament to her pain and exhaustion.

She waved her staff with difficulty, muttering something in a low voice, yet her voice was resolute. The gem on the top of the staff shone with a faint light, which seemed so small and fragile in the darkness, yet it stubbornly radiated power, trying to weaken the offensive of the dark forces with the help of ancient mysterious power.

But the power of darkness is like a surging tide, one wave after another, endlessly, as if to drown everything in the world in this endless darkness.

Just when everyone was gradually unable to hold on and their defense was about to collapse, the mysterious old man stepped forward steadily.

His expression was as calm as water, as if the dark force before him was but a mere breeze. He gently raised the bamboo flute in his hand, his movements graceful and deliberate, and then played a strange and melodious melody.

The flute's sound, like an invisible yet resilient force, swirled and reverberated through the air, colliding violently with the forces of darkness. Each note held a unique power, stirring up ripples in the clash with the forces of darkness.

Under the impact of the flute sound, the rapid forward speed of the dark torrent slowed down significantly. The dark force that was originally indomitable and unstoppable seemed to have hit an invisible high wall, and its forward steps were firmly blocked.

Upon seeing this, the Guardian of Dark Will let out a roar of extreme anger. The roar was deafening, as if it would shatter the entire space.

Its form constantly twisted and shifted in the darkness, sometimes transforming into an immense black shadow that almost took up half the space. The shadow's outline was blurry, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

Sometimes it splits into countless small black shadows, which float around like ghosts, rushing towards everyone at an extremely fast speed, trying to break through everyone's defenses.

It controlled the dark power and condensed it into sharp black spears. These spears flashed with cold light and carried the breath of death as they were thrown madly at the crowd.

Li Zhao and others were suddenly caught in a dangerous situation. They dodged left and right, constantly avoiding the attacks of the black spears.

A spear brushed past Su Mengyao's arm, and the sharp tip of the spear instantly tore her sleeve, leaving a deep bloody mark on her fair arm. Blood flowed out like a fountain, quickly dyeing her sleeve red, which looked particularly shocking in the darkness.

In order to protect the spirit messenger, the Crown Princess moved sideways to block another spear, which hit her shoulder directly. The huge impact force knocked her back several steps. She gritted her teeth, a look of pain on her face, but she endured the pain without making a groan, and continued to release the power of fire to protect her companions.

The old man's flute playing did not become disordered at all because of the tense situation. His eyes were focused and determined. While playing, he shouted to Li Zhao and others:

"The power of this dark core is closely connected to the dark laws of this space. We must find its weakness to break through this layer of dark power's defense!"

When Li Zhao heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

The runes he had seen before on the world core and the black barrier suddenly appeared in his mind, and the shapes and arrangements of those runes kept flashing in his memory.

He clearly remembered that there seemed to be some kind of intrinsic and subtle connection between these runes, but he had never fully understood it.

He tried hard to recall every detail of the rune, trying to find the key clue to crack the core defense of the origin of darkness.

During the fierce and tense battle, Li Zhao's eyes were always fixed on the core of the origin of darkness.

Suddenly, he keenly discovered that the dark power around the core of the dark origin had a brief and subtle fluctuation under the influence of the old man's flute.

The fluctuation was extremely weak and would be almost imperceptible if he had not been concentrating fully.

His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a strong intuition told him that the rhythm of this fluctuation was very similar to the rhythm of a certain set of runes he had seen before.

"Everyone listen!"

Li Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the chaotic and noisy space. "Let's follow the rune rhythm I saw earlier and release our power synchronously. Perhaps we can find a flaw in the core of the dark origin!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.

Under Li Zhao's command, they began to release their power in a specific rhythm.

Su Mengyao concentrated her mind and released her ice-blue spiritual power at a unique frequency. The spiritual power flickered with a faint blue light in the air, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

The Crown Princess adjusted the rhythm of the flame's output. The flame pulsed rhythmically with her breathing, emitting a blazing heat.

The spirit messenger waved his staff again, and the light on the staff echoed with the power of the crowd, forming a wonderful resonance.

The old man's flute music was like the baton of this powerful ensemble, guiding the strength of everyone, making them closely intertwined together to form a powerful combined force.

As they continued to release their power, the dark power around the core of the dark origin indeed showed more obvious fluctuations.

The guardian of the dark will seemed to have sensed an unprecedented crisis. It became increasingly crazy, frantically manipulating the dark forces in an attempt to stabilize the core's defenses.

It continuously injects dark power into the defense layer around the core, causing the dark power to roll and surge like boiling black magma.

The power of Li Zhao and others was like a tight and tough net, which gradually bound the dark forces. Although the dark forces struggled fiercely, they were still unable to break free from the suppression of this combined force.

Just when the dark forces were about to be broken through and the dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner, the guardian of the dark will suddenly made a surprising move.

It abandoned the frontal attack on everyone and gathered all the dark forces into the core of the origin of darkness in a crazy way.

In an instant, the dark power around the core became as thick as ink, as if forming an indestructible black barrier.

This barrier exudes an atmosphere of despair, as if announcing to everyone that their efforts are in vain.

The attacks of the crowd hit the black barrier, but they were like drop in the ocean, without causing a single ripple, and were instantly swallowed up by the darkness.

The guardian of the dark will laughed wildly and triumphantly. "Do you think you can defeat me like this? This dark core is the source of my power and the foundation of my control over this world. You will never be able to break through its defenses!"

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless and morale was low, the crystal in Li Zhao's hand suddenly emitted a strange light.

This light was completely different from the light that the crystal had previously emitted when it had guided the source of light. It carried a more mysterious, ancient, and profound aura, as if it came from the mysterious power at the beginning of the universe.

Li Zhao looked at the crystal in his hand in surprise, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.

There seemed to be a powerful force surging in the crystal, as if that force was trying to communicate with him, conveying some mysterious message.

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy, and tried to feel the message the crystal conveyed to him.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet, leaving only the subtle connection between him and the crystal.

Li Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise and determination flashing in his eyes: "I understand! The power hidden in this crystal is the key to communicating with the core of the origin of darkness!"

As he spoke, Li Zhao raised the crystal high, stretched out his arms, and injected his strength with all his strength.

The crystal shone brightly, and a mysterious and dazzling light shot towards the core of the origin of darkness.

When the light came into contact with the black barrier, it was not blocked, but slowly merged into it.

This scene surprised and delighted everyone, and rekindled the flame of hope in their hearts.

The guardian of the dark will let out a terrified scream, its voice filled with fear and unwillingness, as if it had sensed the impending crisis.

The crystal light continued to merge, and cracks began to appear in the dark power around the core of the dark origin. Those cracks spread rapidly like spider webs, as if this indestructible dark barrier was about to break.

Could it be that they really found a way to crack the core of the origin of darkness?

Will the guardian of the dark will be defeated?

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the core of the origin of darkness suddenly underwent an unexpected change. A more powerful and terrifying dark aura erupted from the depths of the core. This aura made the entire space tremble, as if the end of the world was approaching.
