Chapter 303 The Price of Breaking Through
In the suffocating quagmire of despair, Li Zhao was like a trapped beast on the verge of death but still struggling stubbornly. Although he was tightly wrapped in severe pain, he relied on his tenacious will and eyes like torches to stare at the purifying crystal that was gradually dimming and seemed about to be completely swallowed by the darkness.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness, as if he wanted to see through the crystal and dig out the last bit of power that could turn the world around.
But the light of the purifying crystal became increasingly faint, like a candle flickering in a storm, which could go out at any time.
The dark energy surrounding the evil figure was like a raging black flame from the depths of hell, shrouding the entire space in endless darkness and a terrifying atmosphere.
The roar it made was like thousands of thunders exploding deep in everyone's soul, shaking everyone's soul, as if it would be completely shattered by this roar at any time.
The mysterious old man witnessed the shaky, almost fading purification crystal, and knew deep down that this might be the only remaining ray of hope for them in this desperate situation, and he must not let it go out.
He gritted his teeth and used all his remaining strength to inject the power contained in the staff into the crystal without reservation.
At this critical moment, the cracked and weathered gem on top of the staff miraculously burst into a strong light, trying to inject new vitality into the purification crystal.
His hands were shaking violently from exerting too much force, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes, but his eyes were as firm as towering mountains, as if he wanted to use his iron will to support this world that was about to collapse and fall into eternal darkness.
The mysterious man dragged his scarred and battered body, each step was as heavy as if he was dragging a thousand-pound burden, and slowly grasped the golden sword that was full of gaps and had a dim light again.
He completely ignored the excruciating pain coming from the wound, and concentrated the last bit of spiritual power in his body on the sword like squeezing the last drop of water out of a sponge.
His eyes burned with a frenzied and fiery fighting spirit, a determination that blazed with the knowledge that the abyss ahead lay beyond redemption, yet he remained resolute and forged ahead without hesitation. He let out a deafening roar and charged towards the evil figure, each step leaving a pool of crimson blood on the ground. It was shocking, but it couldn't stop him.
The long sword in his hand was wrapped in an extremely sharp sword energy, like a golden lightning that cuts through the darkness, stabbing rapidly towards the chest of the evil figure, trying to tear a hole of hope in the endless dark barrier.
Su Mengyao gathered the little ice power left in her body and slowly gathered it into a crystal clear ice sword that exuded a biting chill in her palm.
Her body was shaking due to excessive blood loss, and every breath seemed extremely difficult, but her eyes were as firm as a rock, revealing the courage to face death.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and used all her remaining strength to stab the evil figure with the ice sword.
The moment the ice sword came into contact with the surging dark energy surrounding the evil figure, it was quickly covered with countless cracks, like fragile glass that could shatter at any time, but she held the hilt tightly as if she was holding on to the last glimmer of hope in her life, and tried to give the enemy a fatal blow with all her strength.
The spirit messenger was trapped in an abyss of extreme pain, as if countless sharp steel needles were stirring wildly in his mind, and his spiritual world was riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
But with her iron will, she used up her last bit of mental strength and transformed it into countless tiny but tough mental threads, which wrapped around the evil figure.
Her spiritual world was on the verge of complete collapse at this moment. Every bit of mental strength consumed seemed to be tearing her soul apart, but she still struggled to hold on, with determination and tenacity in her eyes.
She hoped that these spiritual threads could be like strong ropes to restrain the evil figure's actions. Even if it could only buy a brief second for her companions, she felt that all the efforts would be worth it.
The mysterious woman leaned over to pick up the scattered bow fragments, clutching them tightly in her trembling hands. Blood streamed down her arm, the crimson blood continuously dripping down her arm, gathering in a small puddle on the ground, yet she seemed oblivious, her eyes filled only with hatred and unyielding determination towards the evil figure.
She rushed towards the evil figure without hesitation, and swung the seemingly insignificant broken bow fragment in her hand towards it, trying to use this tiny but firm strength to leave her own traces of resistance in this battle where the outcome was already decided and seemed hopeless. Even if the trace was as small as dust, it could prove that she had fought for justice and hope until the last moment.
The attacks of the crowd were like a group of moths rushing towards the flame without hesitation. Although their strength seemed small and insignificant, they were full of an indomitable will to never give up.
Under the fierce attack of the crowd, the evil figure's huge body shook more and more violently, as if it would fall down at any time.
Its powerful dark energy was still like a surging and endless tide, impacting everyone's already tattered defense line wave after wave, trying to completely submerge everyone in this endless darkness.
At this critical moment when life and death are hanging by a thread, the purification crystal suddenly emits a strong light without any warning. The light seems to contain a mysterious and powerful power from ancient times.
Li Zhao's heart suddenly moved, and he keenly felt an obscure but significant message coming from the crystal. It was a revelation about power fusion and self-sacrifice.
It turns out that only by completely integrating everyone's power without reservation and paying an extremely huge price can this powerful and almost invincible evil figure be completely defeated.
Li Zhao did not hesitate at all. He knew very well that there was no way out at this moment. In order to save this world on the verge of destruction and for his companions who fought side by side with him, he had to make a decision.
He suppressed his inner grief and fear and struggled to convey this information to his companions through his mental power.
When everyone received this information, a deep fear surged in their hearts. After all, it meant that they might have to pay the price with their lives. However, a hint of determination flashed in their eyes at the same time.
They looked at each other and saw the same firm belief in each other's eyes.
They knew very well that there was no turning back now. For the justice in their hearts and for the friendship between each other, they were willing to give up everything, even their own lives.
The mysterious old man stepped forward first. He took a deep breath, with a hint of relief and joy in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes and released the power in his staff without reservation and continuously.
As the power surged out, his body began to become ethereal, as if gradually merging into the light of the purifying crystal.
There was a faint smile on his face, as if he was extremely proud that he could contribute all his strength to this battle that would determine the fate of the world at this final critical moment.
The mysterious man took the fateful step without hesitation.
He gripped the golden sword tightly in both hands and poured all the spiritual power in his body and the power of the sword into the light like a surging torrent.
The moment the power was injected, shocking cracks began to appear on his body, and blood oozed out from the cracks like a spring, staining his clothes red, but his eyes were extremely firm, as if he saw the dawn of victory right before his eyes.
He looked at the light, his heart filled with hope and faith, firmly believing that their efforts would eventually be rewarded with victory.
Su Mengyao endured the severe pain in her body and the fear in her heart, gathered all her ice power, and transformed her body into a ray of ice light emitting a faint blue light, slowly blending into it.
Her body gradually dissipated in the light, leaving only a faint smile, a smile filled with deep trust in her companions and an unwavering expectation of victory.
She believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to defeat the evil before them, even at the cost of their lives.
In extreme pain, the spirit messenger used up his last bit of strength and released all his mental power.
Her soul seemed to be burning at this moment, emitting a dazzling light, and also blending into the light of the purifying crystal.
Her spiritual world completely collapsed at this moment and fell into endless darkness, but she felt an unprecedented calmness and tranquility.
Because she knew that her sacrifice might bring about the final victory, save the world, and save her companions, which made her feel that all the pain and effort were worth it.
The mysterious woman injected the broken bow pieces in her hand and her remaining strength into the light, and her body began to gradually fade away.
She looked at the light, her eyes filled with hope and longing. She firmly believed that their efforts would not be in vain and their sacrifice would surely bring a better future.
With this belief, she smiled and merged into the light, contributing her last bit of strength to this battle.
Li Zhao felt the power of his companions pouring into the purification crystal like a surging tide, and his heart was filled with emotion and strength.
He gripped the purification crystal tightly and released all his power without reservation.
The light of the purifying crystal became extremely dazzling at this moment. That light contained the faith, courage and sacrifice of everyone. It was like a sacred light from heaven, illuminating this dark world.
The light was like a dazzling galaxy, carrying the power to destroy the world, roaring towards the evil figure.
The evil figure let out a desperate roar, and the voice was full of fear and unwillingness. It tried to mobilize the dark energy around it to resist this powerful and irresistible force, but its resistance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this light.
Under the illumination of the light, the body of the evil figure began to gradually dissipate, and the dark energy quickly disappeared like ice and snow melting under the scorching sun.
As the light gradually faded, everything returned to calm. A deathly silence fell over the palace, leaving only Li Zhao standing alone, clutching the purifying crystal, which had lost its radiance and become dim.
He looked at the ruins and broken walls around him, his eyes blurred with tears.
His companions sacrificed their lives for this victory without hesitation, and he became the only survivor.
Suddenly, the purification crystal in Li Zhao's hand trembled slightly, and then a faint light emanated from the crystal.
In the light, the phantoms of companions gradually emerged, with smiles on their faces and eyes full of encouragement and comfort for Li Zhao, as if whispering that their sacrifice was worth it and that the world was saved because of their efforts.
Li Zhao looked at these phantoms, and felt a surge of warmth and emotion in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
He keenly discovered that there seemed to be a strange dark aura hidden in the light of the purifying crystal.
