Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 253 Awakening in Despair

The core of the origin of darkness seemed to be manipulated by an invisible giant hand, shaking violently, and every vibration seemed to shake the foundation of the entire world.

A terrifying aura that makes one's soul tremble, like a surging, overwhelming black tsunami, spreads madly in all directions with the core as the center.

Li Zhao and others were suddenly hit by this breath, and their bodies retreated uncontrollably. Every step felt like stepping on a thorny bush, which was extremely painful.

Their skin was under tremendous pressure, as if countless sharp knives were cutting it madly, and every inch of it was filled with piercing pain, as if it would be ruthlessly crushed by this terrible force at any time, turning into dust and floating away in this dark world.

"What kind of power is this? Why is it so terrifying!?"

Su Mengyao screamed in horror, her voice trembling with an unconcealable tremor, which was particularly harsh in this terrifying dark atmosphere.

Under the heavy pressure of this force, her body trembled involuntarily, like a fallen leaf in the wind, fragile and helpless.

The flame in her hand was originally her most powerful weapon, but in the face of this terrifying dark aura, it was like a candle in the wind, swaying weakly and could be extinguished at any time. That was her last bit of strength, but in the face of this overwhelming dark power, it seemed so small and insignificant.

The mysterious figure's face instantly became as heavy as lead, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. The beads slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet, which was emitting a strange smell, and disappeared in an instant.

He stared intently at the core of the dark origin, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to see through it. His voice was low and rapid, filled with anxiety and worry:

"This is the ultimate power of the dark will. He vainly attempts to completely destroy the balance of the world, allowing darkness to forever cover everything and drag all things into an endless abyss of darkness, from which there is no return!"

Li Zhao gritted his teeth, making a clattering sound, and his cheeks bulged out due to the force.

He endured the severe pain from his body and the trembling deep in his soul, and a determination to face death surged in his heart.

"We must not let him succeed! We must find a way to stop this!"

His voice was firm and powerful. Although it was a little hoarse from the impact of the dark aura, it echoed like a bell in this dark space. The determination in it seemed like cast iron, indestructible.

Su Mengyao held the ice blade tightly, and the ice-blue spiritual power flickered with a faint light in the endless darkness. The light was like a firefly struggling in the darkness. Although small and weak, it carried a trace of unyielding stubbornness, stubbornly resisting the erosion of darkness.

"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!"

Her eyes revealed a firm belief. Although her body was trembling slightly due to fear and exhaustion, like a weak willow in the cold wind, her will was like a rock, firmly rooted in the darkness, unwavering.

The spirit user leaned weakly on the staff. The gem on the top of the staff was dim, like a star that had lost its life.

She whispered an ancient spell, her voice as faint as a gossamer, barely audible in the darkness.

She tried to draw more power from the staff. The staff seemed to sense her call and flickered slightly. Although the light was still weak, it was a symbol of hope and the belief she held on to in the darkness.

"Light will not be swallowed by darkness. We will definitely find the power of light."

Although her voice was barely audible, it was filled with a firm belief. That belief was like a lighthouse, guiding everyone in the dark ocean and giving them the courage to continue fighting.

The core of the dark origin trembled more and more violently, like a time bomb about to explode, and every vibration was terrifying.

Black cracks spread rapidly across its surface like hideous scars, as if they were going to tear the core apart completely.

The dark power surging out from the cracks was like a flood bursting through a dam, continuously impacting the surrounding space.

Under the impact of this powerful force, the space was like a distorted canvas, constantly deforming and twisting, emitting painful groans, as if expressing its fear and helplessness towards this dark force.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure quickly formed seals with his hands. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, yet with a hint of nervousness and eagerness.

The power of balance was like a golden torrent, surging towards the core of the origin of darkness, trying to stabilize the core that was about to collapse.

The power of darkness was too strong, like a surging black beast, pouncing towards the power of balance with bared fangs and claws.

The power of balance seemed so fragile under the impact of the dark power. The golden light kept flickering, like a candle flame in the wind, which could be swallowed up by the dark wind at any time.

Li Zhao watched all this and felt extremely anxious, as if there were millions of ants crawling in his heart.

He instantly recalled the image he had seen deep in his consciousness before, the harmonious scene of balance between light and darkness.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, concentrate, and go deep into his consciousness again, looking for the secret of the ancient power of balance.

In the dark depths of his consciousness, Li Zhao seemed to be in a chaotic universe, surrounded by pitch black and frightening silence.

He saw the tiny light that had appeared before. The light emitted a soft and powerful light, which was particularly dazzling in this dark world. It was the source of the power of balance and the dawn of hope.

He tried hard to get closer to the light. Every step was full of difficulty, as if he was stuck in a swamp. Every inch of progress required tremendous effort.

At this moment, the mocking and crazy voice of the Dark Will rang out in his mind, like sharp nails scratching across glass, making him shudder:

"Do you think you can find the power of salvation? That's ridiculous! This world is destined to perish in darkness!" The voice kept echoing, trying to disturb Li Zhao's mind and make him fall into the abyss of despair.

Li Zhao remained unmoved. He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twisted with force, and continued to move closer to the light.

The light spot burst out with an intense light, which was like a sharp sword, instantly cutting through the dark night sky.

A powerful force emerged from the light and poured into Li Zhao's body like a surging tide.

Li Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light flashed in his eyes, which contained endless power and hope.

He felt his body filled with strength, a perfect fusion of the power of balance and his own strength, as if injecting new life into him.

"I found it! This is the power to fight against darkness!"

He shouted excitedly, his voice filled with joy and pride, echoing in the dark space and bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

He injected this power into the weapon in his hand. The weapon seemed to be given life, emitting a dazzling golden light. The light contained a powerful balancing force, as if to completely dispel the darkness.

He swung his weapon, and the golden light flashed like a flash of lightning, cutting through the dark sky and shooting towards the core of the origin of darkness.

The golden light and the dark power collided violently, making a deafening sound, and the sound seemed to shatter the entire world.

Under the impact of the golden light, the dark power actually began to slowly retreat, and the trembling of the core of the dark origin gradually weakened, as if the power of darkness began to be suppressed, and the dawn of hope was about to come.

When everyone saw this scene, the flame of hope rekindled in their eyes. The flame burned fiercely in the darkness, dispelling the fear in their hearts.

The mysterious figure immediately increased the output of balancing force, his hands dancing rapidly, sweat continuously oozing from his forehead and dripping onto the ground.

Su Mengyao and the spiritual envoy also injected their own strength into it. They gritted their teeth and tried their best to contribute their own strength to this battle.

Just as the dark forces were about to be suppressed, the core of the dark origin suddenly erupted again, and an even more powerful dark force surged out, like an awakened ancient demon, carrying endless rage and destructive power. This force was like an angry beast, baring its fangs and claws, instantly dispersing everyone's strength.

Li Zhao and others were knocked away by this force and fell heavily to the ground. Their bodies rubbed violently against the ground, leaving traces of blood.

Li Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood, which was particularly glaring in the darkness. His heart was filled with confusion and despair: "Why? Why is this dark force so powerful?"

The mysterious figure struggled to stand up, his face as pale as paper, bloodless, as if all his vitality had been drained away.

"The power of this dark will seems to resonate with the dark side of the world. As long as darkness exists in the world, his power will continue to flow!"

His voice was weak and tired, but it made the fear in everyone's hearts even stronger.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Li Zhao suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a strange light in the dark power surrounding the core of the dark origin.

He looked carefully. Although the light was dim, it brought a familiar feeling, as if someone who had been lost in the darkness for a long time saw the lights of home.

"Is that... a ray of hope?"

Li Zhao murmured to himself, with a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his voice.

He suddenly realized that darkness was not absolute, and that there were seeds of hope hidden in it, like seeds nurtured in the dark soil, waiting for the moment to break through the ground.

He concentrated his mind, mobilized the balance force in his body, and moved closer to the light.

When he touched the light, it suddenly burst out with powerful force, echoing with the balance force in his body, as if he had finally reunited with a long-lost relative.

"I understand! Darkness and light are not absolute opposites, but interdependent! We can use the light of hope in the darkness to completely break the power of the dark will!"

Li Zhao shouted excitedly, his voice full of joy and confidence, as if he had found the key to open the door to victory.

He told everyone about his discovery, and when they heard it, the flame of hope rekindled in their eyes.

They began to focus their strength, trying to guide the light of hope in the darkness and merge with the power of balance.

Everyone was concentrating and releasing their strength without reservation, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.

The voice of Dark Will rang out again, filled with fear and anger, like a beast whose reverse scales had been touched:

"You think you can find hope? This is just your fantasy! Darkness will always rule everything!"

The voice echoed in the darkness, trying to shake everyone's faith once again.

Li Zhao and others ignored the roar of the dark will and continued to work hard.

Thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts, the light of hope and the power of balance were successfully integrated to form a powerful force.

This power is like a golden sun, shining brightly and illuminating the entire dark space.

Under the illumination of this power, the dark forces quickly dissipated, like ice and snow melting in the sun, and the core of the dark origin gradually returned to calm, as if the dark storm was about to pass.

The figure exuded an aura even more terrifying than the dark will, as if it was a dark demon that had existed since the beginning of the universe.

"Who... who is this?"

Su Mengyao asked in horror, her voice full of fear and confusion, and her body trembled again, as if frightened by the aura of this mysterious figure.

The mysterious figure did not answer, but only let out a low laugh, which was filled with endless darkness and unknown fear, making people shudder.

This laughter was like a dark curse, echoing in the air and making people's souls tremble.
