The genius who counterattacked the mainland

After repelling the black-robed men, Xu Tiancai and his teammates dared not slack off and continued to search for the Galaxy Key within the Galaxy Eye's temple. The energy fluctuations within the temple seemed to have become even more chaotic due to the previous battle, and every step forward was filled with unknown dangers.

Following the clues on the stone slabs, they navigated the maze-like passages of the temple. Mysterious lights flickered from time to time on the walls on both sides of the passage, as if telling ancient stories or warning intruders.

"Everyone, pay attention! The energy fluctuations here are a bit unusual. There might be a new mechanism," Xu Tiancai cautiously warned his teammates. As soon as he finished speaking, energy cracks suddenly appeared on the ground ahead, emitting black smoke, through which distorted figures could be vaguely seen.

"What is this?" a teammate asked in horror. The twisted figures gradually solidified into solid forms, resembling demons, and lunged at Xu Tiancai and his companions with bared fangs and claws. Xu Tiancai immediately unleashed Star Flame, sending golden flames blazing towards the demons. However, the demons seemed unfazed by the flames, passing through them and continuing to charge towards the group.

"These aren't ordinary monsters, everyone be careful!" Xu Tiancai shouted. His teammates unleashed their own skills, but the demons were numerous, and their bodies could change shape at will, making them difficult to hit.

During the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that the demons' movements seemed to be affected by the smoke. With a sudden inspiration, he unleashed a powerful whirlwind of star power to try to disperse the smoke. As the whirlwind passed, the smoke gradually thinned, and the demons' movements slowed.

"Now, attack!" Xu Tiancai seized the opportunity and led his teammates in a fierce attack. With their combined strength, the demons were eliminated one by one. But just as the battle ended, the surrounding walls began to shift, and the original passage changed. They seemed to be trapped in a new maze.

"Looks like we have to start looking for clues again," Lin said helplessly. They explored the new maze, searching for any clues that might lead to the Key to the Galaxy. Around a corner, they discovered a massive star map. The stars on the map shimmered faintly, and the positions of some stars were marked with unique symbols.

"This may be the key to finding the Key to the Galaxy." Xu Tiancai carefully observed the star map and found that the marked star positions seemed to have some correspondence with the energy structure within the Eye of the Galaxy.

Following the guidance of the star map, they searched for the corresponding energy structures within the Eye of the Galaxy. In the process, they encountered various bizarre energy phenomena, including talking energy balls that posed puzzles about the universe, and huge energy waterfalls that forced them to find the hidden passages beneath the impact of the waterfalls.

After a difficult exploration, they finally found a series of energy structures that matched the star map. When they approached the last structure, it emitted a dazzling light, and an illusory portal appeared in the light.

"This should be the portal to the Key to the Galaxy," Xu Tiancai said. They cautiously entered the portal and entered a mysterious space. This space was filled with the phantoms of various divine artifacts, emitting powerful energy fluctuations that were dazzling.

"The Galaxy Key should be among these phantoms. Everyone, look carefully for it," Xu Tiancai said. They began searching among the artifact phantoms, but these phantoms seemed to be deceptive. Whenever they approached a phantom that looked like the Galaxy Key, it would suddenly disappear or attack.

During the search, one of the team members accidentally touched a phantom, which transformed into a bolt of lightning and knocked the team member away. Xu Tiancai hurried over to check on his teammate's injuries and found that his teammate's soul had been damaged.

"These phantoms are very dangerous. We can't touch them blindly," Xu Tiancai said with a frown. They began to try other methods to find the Galaxy Key, such as analyzing the energy characteristics of the phantoms and looking for special energy fluctuations related to the dark power seal.

After a long analysis, they discovered that the phantom energy fluctuations in one area were similar to the scenes depicted in the temple murals, depicting the sealing of dark forces. They concentrated their efforts on searching this area and finally found a unique artifact among the numerous phantoms.

This artifact emanated a soft glow. It was shaped like a key, and the handle was inlaid with twelve dazzling gemstones, echoing the clues to the twelve stars they had discovered earlier. "This is the Key to the Galaxy!" Xu Tiancai said excitedly.

However, just as they were about to take the Galaxy Key, the entire space began to tremble violently, and all the artifact phantoms converged together to form a huge energy monster. This monster had countless tentacles and a huge mouth. It roared and pounced towards Xu Tiancai and his group.

"Oh no! We've triggered the protective mechanism," Xu Tiancai shouted. He cast a star shield, protecting his teammates. The monster's tentacles continuously attacked the shield, each attack causing it to flicker.

"We have to find a way to defeat it, otherwise we won't be able to take the Galaxy Key," Xu Tiancai said. His teammates unleashed their skills, attempting to attack the monster's weaknesses. However, the monster's body seemed to be able to change shape at will, making it difficult for them to find effective attack points.

During the battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that the monster's energy core was located on its forehead, where a node shone with light. "Attack its forehead!" Xu Tiancai shouted. His teammates concentrated their firepower and launched an attack on the monster's forehead. However, the monster seemed to sense their intentions and protected its forehead with its tentacles, making their attacks ineffective.

Xu Tiancai decided to take a chance. He put away his shield, harnessed the power of the stars and the source of the universe to boost his speed, and rushed towards the monster. Seeing this, the monster lashed out at him with its tentacles. Xu Tiancai nimbly dodged the tentacle attacks, weaving in and out of the monster's attacks, gradually approaching the monster's forehead.

Just as he was about to reach the monster's forehead, it suddenly unleashed a powerful energy blast, sending Xu Tiancai flying. His teammates quickly came over to catch him. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine. Let's continue."

They re-planned the attack plan. One part of the teammates was responsible for attracting the monster's attention to distract it from protecting its forehead, while the other part of the teammates, led by Xu Tiancai, looked for opportunities to attack the monster's forehead.

After a tough fight, they finally found a flaw. With the cooperation of his teammates, Xu Tiancai successfully approached the monster's forehead. He gathered the power of the stars and the power of the source of the universe in his hands and struck the energy core on the monster's forehead with all his strength.

With a loud bang, the monster let out a scream as its energy core was shattered. The monster's body began to disintegrate, transforming into streams of energy that dissipated into space. Xu Tiancai successfully obtained the Key to the Galaxy, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could rejoice, violent energy fluctuations were heard again outside the temple. They walked out of the portal and returned to the temple, only to find that the black-robed men had attacked again, and this time they had brought more helpers, including some cosmic creatures controlled by dark forces.

"They really don't give up." Xu Tiancai clenched the Galaxy Key in his hand. The black-robed man saw the Galaxy Key in Xu Tiancai's hand and showed greed in his eyes: "Hand over the Galaxy Key, and you still have a chance to survive."

"Don't even think about it. We won't let you use it to unleash the power of darkness," Xu Tiancai said. The black-robed men and their helpers began to attack, and an even more intense battle broke out in front of the temple.

Xu Tiancai handed the Galaxy Key to Lin for safekeeping, and led his teammates into a charge. This time, the black-robed men's attacks were even more ferocious. The cosmic creatures controlled by the dark forces were enormous, and their attacks were incredibly powerful. Xu Tiancai and his team gradually fell into trouble in the battle.

During the battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that although these cosmic creatures controlled by the dark forces were powerful, their movements were somewhat stiff, as if they were restricted by the dark forces. He came up with a solution and used the power of the stars to create a whirlwind, trying to disrupt the dark forces surrounding the cosmic creatures and influence their movements.

As the whirlwind swept through, the cosmic creatures' movements indeed slowed. The teammates seized the opportunity and launched an attack, causing some damage to the cosmic creatures. However, the black-robed men soon realized Xu Tiancai's plan and began to tighten their control over the cosmic creatures, causing them to attack even more frantically.

At the same time, the black-robed figure cast a dark magic circle that enveloped the entire battlefield, suppressing Xu Tiancai and his men. "We can't be trapped in this magic circle. We have to find a way to break it," Xu Tiancai shouted.

They began searching for the magic circle's weaknesses. After some observation, they discovered that its energy nodes were distributed in several corners of the battlefield. Xu Tiancai led several of his stronger teammates and rushed towards the energy nodes. Despite numerous enemy obstructions, they managed to approach the energy nodes with great difficulty.

Xu Tiancai unleashed the power of the stars and the source of the universe, attacking the energy nodes. Under his attack, one energy node was destroyed, and the magic circle began to loosen slightly. His teammates continued to attack other energy nodes, and with their concerted efforts, the magic circle was finally broken.

With the magic circle broken, Xu Tiancai and his men regained their strength. They launched another counterattack, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed man and the cosmic creatures. During the battle, Xu Tiancai constantly adjusted his tactics, using his strengths to defeat the enemy.

However, the black-robed leader seemed to have a trick up his sleeve. At the critical moment of the battle, he took out a dark crystal ball. The crystal ball contained a powerful dark force. When the crystal ball was activated, the surrounding space was shrouded in darkness.

"What is this?" Xu Tiancai felt a surge of unease. The dark crystal ball released a powerful suction force, swallowing everything around it, including the energy attacks from Xu Tiancai and his group.

"Everyone, be careful! Don't get sucked in!" Xu Tiancai shouted. They tried to move away from the dark crystal ball's suction, but the force grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly difficult to resist. In this critical moment, Xu Tiancai thought of the Galaxy Key. He wasn't sure if it could counteract the dark crystal ball, but he decided to give it a try.

He took the Galaxy Key back from Lin and infused it with his own stellar power and the power of the source of the universe. After the Galaxy Key was infused with power, it emitted a dazzling light, shooting towards the dark crystal ball. When the light and the dark crystal ball came into contact, a powerful energy collision was generated between the two, and the entire space trembled.

Xu Tiancai gripped the Key of the Galaxy tightly, maintaining the output of light with all his might. His teammates also transferred their own strength to Xu Tiancai, increasing the power of the light. With their efforts, the suction of the dark crystal ball gradually weakened, and the darkness began to dissipate.

Seeing this, the black-robed leader's face became very gloomy: "Don't think you can stop us like this. The power of darkness is invincible." After that, the black-robed man led the cosmic creatures to attack again. Their attack was more crazy, and it seemed that they were desperate.

Xu Tiancai knew that this was a battle of life and death, and they could not retreat. He led his teammates in a final desperate fight with the enemy. The Key of the Galaxy shone with the light of hope in his hand, and the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the universe...
