Chapter 308 Shadow of the Abyss
Li Zhao's palms were covered in sweat. The purification crystal emitted a faint light in his trembling hands, as if it was also afraid of the thick, ink-like, bottomless darkness ahead.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, the dead silence like an invisible curtain that tightly wrapped him.
His rapid and heavy breathing kept echoing in this vacuum-like environment, and every breath was like a dull thunder, roaring in his ears.
The remaining evil aura of the dark figure that had just been defeated was still lingering in the air, and it penetrated into his nostrils, making him feel nauseous.
Before he could recover from the aftermath of the battle, a stronger and more severe unknown fear completely submerged him like a surging tide.
The dark aura seemed to have tangible tentacles, gently touching the depths of his soul, making his hair stand on end and his body covered with goose bumps.
"Am I destined to be swallowed by this endless darkness, never able to break free?"
Li Zhao's voice sounded so weak in the darkness, but it carried an unshakable firmness.
He tried to calm himself down, trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.
Slowly, he lifted his foot and took a cautious step forward.
The ground beneath his feet felt strange, like stepping on thick black slime.
Every step he took was accompanied by a sickening "hissing" sound, as if the darkness was resisting his progress and wanted to trap him here forever.
In an instant, a low roar came from the depths of the darkness. The sound was like the roar of an ancient beast and the wailing of thousands of resentful spirits. It kept echoing in this closed space, making Li Zhao's ears buzz and his head dizzy.
Immediately afterwards, faint green lights flickered in the darkness like ghost fire.
These lights gradually converged, outlining the contours of a group of huge and ferocious creatures.
Their limbs were twisted, their sharp fangs flashed coldly in the dim light, their blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent, staring at Li Zhao as if he had become their meal.
Li Zhao activated the purification crystals in his body without hesitation. In an instant, a powerful force surged in his body like a raging torrent.
This power quickly gathered on his body surface, forming a dazzling golden shield, like a golden sun, emitting brilliant light and illuminating a small area around it.
With the help of this bright light, Li Zhao finally saw the true face of these mysterious creatures.
They are not physical entities, but are condensed from pure dark energy. Their bodies appear like a strange black slime, as if they have no fixed shape, and they are constantly wriggling, which is creepy.
What’s even more surprising is that these creatures seem to be able to split and recombine at will, making them difficult to guard against.
"Come on!" Li Zhao roared and rushed towards the creature closest to him without fear.
The purifying light in his hand instantly transformed into a sharp blade of light, flashing with sacred light and carrying endless power, as it slashed fiercely at the creature.
The creature obviously felt the threat from Li Zhao and let out a sharp and piercing cry, as if to alert its companions.
It quickly waved its thick black arms, trying to block Li Zhao's attack.
The purifying light and the dark power suddenly collided in mid-air, making a loud noise that shook the earth.
In an instant, the light became brighter, like a shooting star across the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
The surrounding space was also violently distorted under the impact of this powerful force, as if the whole world was about to be torn apart.
Li Zhao widened his eyes and stared at the creature.
He clearly saw a flash of fear in the creature's eyes under the light.
Although this trace of fear was fleeting, it was keenly captured by Li Zhao.
This greatly boosted his confidence. He knew that these seemingly terrifying dark creatures were not invincible.
Reality is often cruel.
Although Li Zhao successfully repelled a dark creature, he soon found himself in an extremely unfavorable situation.
There were a large number of these dark creatures, and they were extremely agile. Once one was repelled, another would immediately take its place, forming an impenetrable encirclement that trapped Li Zhao.
Under their violent attacks, cracks began to appear on Li Zhao's golden shield, as if it could break at any time.
His physical strength was also rapidly depleting. Every time he swung the purification crystal, he could feel his arms becoming heavier and heavier, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing on them.
Just when Li Zhao felt that he was about to run out of strength, suddenly, a gentle and ethereal voice came from the darkness: "Concentrate your mind and find the flaws in their power."
The voice seemed to come from the underworld, which startled Li Zhao.
He looked around hurriedly, trying to find the source of the sound, but there was no human figure around except endless darkness and those ferocious creatures.
"Who are you? Why do you always appear at critical moments?"
Li Zhao asked secretly in his heart. His voice echoed in the darkness, but received no response.
The gentle voice didn't seem to intend to answer his question, but urged again: "Don't be distracted, focus on the battle."
Li Zhao calmed himself down and decided to follow the advice of the mysterious voice.
He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his perception, feeling the flow of chaotic dark energy around him.
Amidst the chaotic fluctuations, Li Zhao gradually sensed a faint pattern.
He discovered that whenever these creatures were about to attack, the dark energy in their bodies would gather towards specific parts as if being pulled by some force.
Li Zhao's heart moved. Could this be the weakness of these creatures?
He did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately held his breath, quietly waiting for the best opportunity.
A creature leaped high, ready to deliver its fatal blow.
At this moment, Li Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and condensed the purifying light in his body into a slender but extremely powerful beam of light. Like a golden lightning, it shot straight towards the place where the dark energy gathered in the creature's body.
There was only a shrill scream, and the creature's body shattered in an instant, turning into a ball of black smoke and slowly dissipating into the darkness.
Li Zhao's morale was greatly boosted, and he eliminated several creatures in succession by grasping their flaws.
But just when he thought he was out of trouble, a low and strange chanting sounded in the darkness.
As the chanting went on, the destroyed creatures unexpectedly regrouped, becoming even more powerful and murderous.
Li Zhao's heart sank. At this moment, the purification crystal emitted a ray of light, and in the light emerged a blurry image of an ancient mysterious organization fighting fiercely with the forces of darkness.
Their weapons and spells radiate a light similar to that of purification crystals.
Questions arose in Li Zhao's mind: Is this the deep connection between the purification crystal and the dark power?
The image flashed by, and the purification crystal returned to calm.
Li Zhao was inspired and tried to mobilize the deeper power of the purifying crystal.
He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the crystal. Deep in the mysterious light, he felt a powerful ancient power. This power resonated with his soul and continuously injected strength into his body.
Li Zhao slowly opened his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his pupils.
He swung the purification crystal in his hand violently.
In an instant, the purifying light gushed out like a volcanic eruption, instantly becoming dazzling and bright, as if the whole world was shrouded in this light.
This purifying light carried an incomparable and powerful oppressive force, like a surging torrent, ruthlessly rushing towards the dark creatures.
The dark creatures seemed so fragile in the face of this powerful force that their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, and the originally stable dark energy became chaotic in an instant.
Li Zhao held the purification crystal tightly and poured the purifying light on the dark creatures without mercy.
Each ray of light was like a sharp sword, easily penetrating the bodies of dark creatures and completely dispelling the dark energy in their bodies.
The dark creatures let out shrill screams as their bodies gradually melted away under the burning of the purifying light, eventually turning into nothingness.
With the disappearance of the last dark creature, the entire dark space seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Zhao did not relax his vigilance because of this. His eyes were always fixed on the depths of the dark space, fearing that there were other dangers hidden there.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared in the dark space.
Although this ray of light is inconspicuous, it is particularly eye-catching in this dark environment.
Li Zhao's heart moved, and he dragged his exhausted body and slowly walked towards the light.
When he approached the light, he was surprised to find that it was a door.
The door looked very ancient, engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes and patterns.
There is a faint glow around the door, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
He pushed open the door, and behind it was a huge and mysterious cave, filled with light mist and flickering with strange light.
There is a stone platform in the center of the cave, on which lies an ancient book exuding a mysterious aura, with the cover engraved with runes.
Li Zhao approached the stone platform, picked up the ancient book and opened it, and a strong light enveloped him.
In the light, Li Zhao saw more information about the mysterious organization.
It turns out that this organization once possessed great power and sealed the source of dark power. Purifying crystals is the key to protecting the world.
But as time passed, dark forces eroded, and traitors appeared within the organization, destroying the seal and causing the revival of dark forces.
The purification crystal in his hand is the only key to unlock the final seal.
Li Zhao closed the ancient book, turned around and prepared to leave, but found that the door had disappeared, replaced by a huge black wall.
A huge eye appeared on the wall, flashing a strange and cold light.
Then, the wall cracked, and a huge figure wrapped in black flames slowly walked out, emitting a terrifying aura. The heat wave hit Li Zhao's face, stinging his skin.
"You think you can escape by killing a few minions?"
A deep, hoarse voice came from the figure's mouth, "This is the core of darkness, no one can leave alive.
Li Zhao gripped the purification crystal tightly, looked directly into the figure's eyes, and said firmly: "I will definitely break the dark seal and save the world."
The figure let out a deafening laugh: "Just you? That's just wishful thinking.
But I want to see how capable you are."
After saying that, the figure waved his arms burning with black flames, and rushed towards Li Zhaoxun with rolling heat waves.
Li Zhao tensed his muscles, ready for the decisive battle, but he couldn't help but wonder how many secrets this mysterious organization and the dark core before him were hiding.
