Chapter 281 The Shadow Approaches
The news brought by the spiritual messenger was like a heavy hammer, hitting the already tense nerves of the three people.
Li Zhao's eyes instantly became sharp. He gripped the Blade of Reverse Time tightly, and the blade trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the aftermath of the previous battle or the tension of the impending crisis.
Su Mengyao bit her lower lip and clenched her hands unconsciously. An ice-blue light flickered at her fingertips. It was her subconscious defensive reaction.
"What exactly is this evil force? Why did it appear so coincidentally just when we had obtained the power of origin?"
Su Mengyao's gentle voice trembled slightly at this moment, mixed with fear and doubt that was difficult to conceal.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Zhao beside her, full of help and expectation, as if only he could solve this terrifying mystery.
Li Zhao's heart tightened when he saw this, but he knew very well that he must not lose his composure at this moment.
He tried his best to calm his inner turmoil and said calmly, "No matter what kind of terrifying existence this is, since it's clearly charging towards us, there is absolutely no room for us to retreat or escape!"
The spiritual messenger who had been silent all this time couldn't help but frown.
The eyes of reincarnation in his eyes began to shine with a strange and mysterious light, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to capture more valuable clues from the chaotic and unpredictable future scene.
After a moment, the Spirit Envoy slowly spoke, "This force is truly extraordinary. Not only is it powerful beyond imagination, but even more devastatingly... it seems to harbor an exceptionally strong desire for the legendary origin of the law of causality."
After saying this, his expression became more serious.
The three of them did not dare to delay for even a moment and left the temple as quickly as possible.
The moment they stepped out of the temple gate, an invisible pressure came upon them, making them hold their breath.
They stood quietly in the vast universe outside the temple, gazing at the endless deep darkness.
This darkness is like a huge mystery, hiding countless unknown dangers and secrets, which makes people feel fear and awe.
Everyone's heart was heavy, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air.
Li Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the sphere of power of origin in his hand.
He subconsciously lowered his head and saw that the originally quiet sphere began to tremble slightly, like an energy core about to explode.
The complex and mysterious causal formulas engraved on the surface of the sphere flashed with a brighter and stronger light than before, like lightning across the night sky, eye-catching and dazzling.
This sudden change made Li Zhao's heart beat faster, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He gripped the sphere tightly, trying to steady its trembling, but it seemed all was in vain.
Almost at the same moment, a startling scene appeared in the distant starry sky. The originally peaceful starry sky began to distort, as if a pair of invisible giant hands were wantonly kneading the universe.
Ink-black cracks suddenly spread across the starry sky like hideous wounds.
These cracks continued to expand and extend, as if they were about to tear the entire universe into pieces.
From those black cracks, powerful and evil forces continuously emerged.
This force was like a surging black torrent. Wherever it passed, the light of the stars was instantly swallowed up, leaving only a dead and silent darkness.
The space could not withstand the impact of this evil force, and it made a series of sharp cracking sounds and was ruthlessly torn apart.
"We can't just sit there and wait and do nothing. We must take the initiative to take action!"
Li Zhao said loudly with a determined look on his face. Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the powerful and evil force like an arrow.
Seeing this, Su Mengyao didn't hesitate at all. She twisted her body slightly and followed closely.
Her beautiful figure drew a graceful arc in the air, like a fairy dancing.
The spiritual messenger beside him did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly spread his wings and followed the two people in front closely.
During this rapid flight, Li Zhao closed his eyes and concentrated on trying to mobilize the close connection between his body and the power of origin.
He knew very well that only by fully mastering this power and skillfully utilizing its secrets would he have a chance to defeat the terrifying evil force before him.
Li Zhao allowed his mood to gradually calm down.
He focused all his attention on his body, carefully feeling the surging power flowing through his meridians.
Gradually, he seemed to have touched the core of this power, and began to carefully try to guide it so that it would converge on the Time-Reversal Blade held tightly in his hand according to his own wishes.
At this moment, an amazing scene happened.
The Time-Reverse Blade, which had originally emitted a faint glow, suddenly shone brightly, like a dazzling sun, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.
And around the shining blade, a mysterious halo of causality emerged.
This halo is as light and flowing as a veil, yet it contains endless mystery and power, making the entire Time-Reverse Blade look even more powerful.
As they approached the area eroded by black cracks, a strong sense of oppression came over them.
The evil power that surged out of the cracks condensed into various terrifying forms, some like huge demons with bared fangs and claws; some like twisted ghosts, erratic.
These evil creatures roared and pounced towards the three people.
Li Zhao brandished the blade of reverse time, and the blade light with the halo of causality cut through the darkness. Wherever it went, the evil creatures disappeared.
These creatures seemed endless, coming in wave after wave.
Su Mengyao controlled the power of ice, forming ice walls around her to block the attacks of some evil creatures.
But these creatures didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. They crashed into the ice wall, smashing it into pieces.
The spirit messenger used all his strength to cast the Eye of Samsara, releasing powerful mental fluctuations to interfere with the actions of the evil creatures.
But as the battle continued, she gradually felt exhausted, and the depletion of her mental strength made her face turn pale.
During the fierce battle, Li Zhao suddenly discovered that these evil creatures seemed to be revolving around a center.
He looked carefully and found that in the depths of the black crack, there was a huge black vortex. The vortex exuded a creepy aura, and all the evil creatures seemed to be summoned by something and kept rushing towards the vortex.
Li Zhao's heart moved, and he guessed that the vortex might be the source of this evil force.
"Su Mengyao, Spirit Envoy, we can't keep fighting here. That vortex is the key!"
Li Zhao shouted, rushing towards the vortex. Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy exchanged glances and followed closely behind Li Zhao. They broke through the evil creatures' obstruction and approached the vortex.
As they approached the vortex, the pressure grew greater and greater, and the sphere of power of origin in Li Zhao's hand vibrated more violently, as if resisting something.
When they were only a hundred meters away from the vortex, suddenly, a black beam of light shot out from the vortex and hit Li Zhao directly.
Li Zhao was knocked away by this powerful force, and the sphere of power of origin also broke away from his control and flew towards the vortex.
Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy were horrified and hurriedly flew towards the direction where Li Zhao fell. Li Zhao steadied himself in mid-air, watching the sphere of the power of origin about to be swallowed by the vortex, his heart filled with anxiety.
Just as the sphere was about to fall into the vortex, Li Zhao rushed over desperately, stretched out his hand and tried to grab the sphere.
The moment his hand touched the sphere, a powerful reaction force came and his arm became numb instantly, but he gritted his teeth and held the sphere tightly.
An angry roar came from the vortex, and more black beams shot towards Li Zhao.
Su Mengyao and the spirit messenger rushed over. Su Mengyao condensed a huge ice shield to block part of the beam for Li Zhao.
The spirit messenger used all his strength to cast the Eye of Samsara, trying to find the weakness of the vortex.
At this critical moment, Li Zhao suddenly felt a warm force coming from the sphere of power of origin in his hand. This force quickly spread throughout his body, giving him a brief boost in strength.
He took the opportunity to swing the blade of reverse time and slashed towards the vortex with the powerful force of causality.
This attack carried all of Li Zhao's strength. The knife flashed and the vortex actually stopped briefly.
Li Zhao and the other two took the opportunity to retreat, keeping a certain distance from the vortex. They panted heavily, looking at the vortex that still exuded a terrifying aura, their hearts filled with confusion. What exactly was this evil force?
Why are they so obsessed with the power of origin? And how can they defeat it once and for all?
Just as they were lost in thought, the spirit suddenly discovered that the black cracks around the vortex began to change.
The originally chaotic cracks gradually formed a large symbol, similar to the seal on the mysterious man's clothes, but more complex. The spirit master's mind moved, and she suspected that this symbol might be related to the seal of this evil force.
"Li Zhao, Su Mengyao, I think I know what to do."
The Spirit Envoy said, and she told the two of them what she had discovered. Li Zhao looked at the huge symbol, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes: "Whatever this is, we must give it a try."
The three of them approached the vortex again. This time, they no longer attacked blindly, but carefully observed the changes in the symbols.
When they approached to a certain distance, the sphere of power of origin in Li Zhao's hand suddenly emitted a ray of light, resonating with the huge symbol.
The symbols began to flicker, and the power of the vortex seemed to be affected, becoming unstable.
A black crystal suddenly flew out from the vortex, and the crystal was engraved with patterns identical to the symbol.
Li Zhao subconsciously reached out to grab the crystal. As soon as he held it, the crystal turned into a stream of black energy and poured into his body.
Li Zhao's body was instantly enveloped by black energy, and his eyes became somewhat confused. Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy saw this and hurried forward to check.
Li Zhao suddenly raised his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile: "Do you think you can stop me like this?"
Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy looked at Li Zhao in shock. They realized that Li Zhao might have been controlled by this evil force.
