The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Only then can you gain the power to fight against darkness. Your soul will be tested. You will enter the realm of your deepest fears and desires. Only by conquering them can you master this power.

Xu Tiancai took a deep breath and looked at his teammates, "We have no way out, let's face it together." A Gang grinned, "Huh, I want to see what the fear in my heart can do to me!" Lin nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

With a flash of light, Xu Tiancai felt the scene before him shift, finding himself in a dark forest. The trees around him were twisted and grotesque, their branches like the fangs and claws of a demon. In the darkness, pairs of green eyes peered at him. He clenched his fists, the power of the stars coursing through his body, and walked forward cautiously.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in his ears, a laugh that seemed to pierce his soul and send chills down his spine. "You think you can save the universe? You're just an ant who overestimates your own abilities." A blurry figure emerged from the darkness, gradually becoming clearer. It was the scene of him as a child, being ridiculed for his inability to protect his family. The humiliation and self-blame of the past surged back like a tide, trying to drown his will.

"No, I will not be defeated by you!" Xu Tiancai roared, and the power of the stars erupted, illuminating the surrounding darkness. He rushed towards the figures who mocked him, each step brimming with conviction. When his power reached those figures, they dissipated in wisps of black smoke, but more figures emerged from the darkness.

Meanwhile, Agang found himself on a bloody battlefield. Corpses littered the ground, and his familiar comrades lay in pools of blood. His great axe was stained with blood, and his eyes were filled with rage and despair. "Why! Why couldn't I protect them!" Agang roared to the heavens, the power of thunder and lightning flashing wildly on his great axe.

A massive demon emerged from the darkness, its body radiating the aura of death. Every step it took shook the ground. "You, you killed them!" Agang roared, charging at the demon, his massive axe slashing down with devastating force. The demon easily blocked his blow with its claws and sent him flying. Agang fell heavily to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, but his eyes grew fiercer as he scrambled to his feet and charged at the demon once more.

Lin was trapped in an icy crystal palace. Everything around her was crystal-clear ice, beautiful yet bone-chillingly cold. She saw her loved ones frozen within, their eyes filled with pain and pleading with her. "Why? Why can't I save you?" Lin cried, tears streaming down her face. She cast ice spells, trying to break the ice, but it remained unmoved.

Suddenly, a woman in a gorgeous ice robe appeared before her. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful yet shone with a coldness. "You are a loser. Your power can never save anyone." The woman's voice pierced Lin's heart like an icicle. Lin's eyes grew firm. "I will not give up. I will break this curse!" She formed hand seals and, regardless of the drain on her own vitality, unleashed an even more powerful ice spell. The entire palace began to tremble at her power.

In the dark forest, Xu Tiancai battled his inner fears. His star power grew stronger, and those negative emotions and figures gradually lost sight of him. He closed his eyes and recalled his journey, the moments of overcoming difficulties, the moments of mutual support with his teammates. "My strength comes from my faith, from my desire for universal peace!" When he opened his eyes again, the star power shone brightly like the sun, and the dark forest began to crumble under his power.

Agang battled fiercely with the demon, his body scarred, but his fighting spirit undimmed. During one fierce clash, he noticed a tiny flaw in the demon's every attack. He seized the opportunity, deftly dodged the demon's next attack, and then, with all his might, swung his axe at the flaw. The axe dug deep into the demon's body. The demon roared in pain and tried to break free, but Agang held the axe tightly, channeling the force of lightning into the demon's body, completely destroying it. The blood and death on the battlefield gradually dissipated, and Agang stood there, panting, having conquered his inner fear.

Lin continued to cast spells within the Crystal Palace, her life force rapidly draining away, but her gaze remained steadfast. Her efforts began to crack the ice. Seeing this, the woman in the ice robe launched an even more powerful attack, attempting to stop Lin. Undeterred, Lin channeled her soul power into her spell, and a massive icicle shot from her hand, hurtling directly towards the woman. The icicle struck the woman, her body shattering, and the surrounding ice crumbled in its wake. Having successfully rescued her frozen loved ones, Lin's heart was filled with joy and strength.

After the three of them had overcome their inner fears, they returned to the ball of light in the world of light. The ball of light shone softly, as if cheering for their victory. "You have done well. Now, accept this power," the voice rang out again.

Xu Tiancai and the others reached out and touched the ball of light. A warm and powerful force surged into their bodies, and they felt their souls sublime. This force perfectly merged with their own strength, making them even more powerful.

At this moment, the world of light began to tremble violently. Black cracks appeared, and dark forces surged from the cracks, attempting to devour the force of light. "The dark forces have sensed the threat and are trying to stop us," Xu Tiancai shouted. They immediately prepared for battle, combining their newfound power with their own to fight against the dark forces.

A group of dark knights emerged from the black rift, riding black warhorses, clad in black armor, revealing only their eyes, blazing with black flames. Wielding black spears, the dark knights charged towards Xu Tiancai and his companions, the sound of their hooves echoing like thunder in the world of light.

Agang was the first to meet the enemy, brandishing his great axe and charging at the Dark Knight. The axe clashed with the Dark Knight's spear, sending up a shower of black sparks. Agang's strength was even greater than before, and he easily cut one of the Dark Knights off his horse. But as the Dark Knight fell, his body disintegrated into a puff of black smoke, recondensing not far away and continuing his attack on Agang.

Lin cast an ice spell, sending icy arrows hurling themselves at the Dark Knights. The arrows condensed a layer of frost on their armor, but the Dark Knights seemed unaffected, breaking free from the frost and continuing their charge. Xu Tiancai, merging the power of the stars, the Phoenix, the Galaxy Guardian Bracelet, and his newly acquired strength, fired a series of multicolored beams at the Dark Knights. The beams left burn marks on their armor, but failed to inflict fatal damage.

"These Dark Knights are tough to deal with. We need to find their weakness," Xu Tiancai said. During the battle, he discovered that the Dark Knights' black, flaming eyes were the source of their power. Whenever they attacked, the black flames in their eyes intensified. "Attack their eyes!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

His teammates heard his shout and immediately adjusted their tactics. Gang drew the Dark Knights' attention, nimbly weaving through their ranks and dodging their attacks with his speed and agility. Lin and the other teammates watched for an opportunity to strike the Dark Knights' eyes.

Xu Tiancai zeroed in on a Dark Knight's eye and unleashed a powerful beam of light. After the beam struck the Dark Knight's eye, the Dark Knight's body trembled, then froze, dissipating in a puff of black smoke. The rest of his teammates followed suit, attacking the Dark Knight's eyes. With their combined force, the Dark Knights were eliminated one by one.

However, the forces of darkness did not give up. More dark creatures emerged from the black cracks. There were giant dark worms, their bodies as massive as mountains and covered in sharp spines; there were also dark flying beasts shaped like bats, their wingspans tens of meters wide and their mouths were filled with sharp fangs.

The dark worm crawled towards Xu Tiancai and the others, devouring the surrounding light with each movement. The dark flying beast circled in the air and swooped down towards them at lightning speed.

Agang swung his massive axe, slashing at the approaching dark worm. The axe struck the worm's body, sending a shower of black slime flying. However, the worm was so massive that the axe's attack only left a shallow wound. The dark worm opened its massive mouth and spewed a stream of black venom at Agang. Agang quickly dodged, and the venom landed on the ground with a sizzling sound, corroding the ground into a large pit.

Lin cast an ice spell, attempting to freeze the Dark Worm's movements. She cast a large frost field spell, freezing the entire space around the Dark Worm. The Dark Worm's movements slowed, but its spines continued to fire, piercing Lin and the others. Xu Tiancai used the power of the stars and his newfound strength to create a light shield, blocking the attack.

The dark beasts swooped down towards them, their claws and fangs flashing with cold light. Xu Tiancai then unleashed beams of light at the dark beasts, igniting their wings and bodies. The beams struck the dark beasts, leaving burn marks on their wings and bodies, but the dark beasts continued their attack.

"We have to find a way to deal with these dark creatures simultaneously," Xu Tiancai said. He observed his surroundings and realized that the light in the luminous world could be channeled and utilized by them. "We use light to attack them, channeling its power!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Lin and Agang immediately understood what he meant. Lin cast a spell, gathering the surrounding light into a series of massive blades of light. Agang wielded his great axe, slashing the blades at the dark worms and flying beasts. The blades struck the dark creatures, splashing with light. The creatures' bodies burned, and they roared in pain.

Xu Tiancai connected his power with the core light of the radiant world and fired a massive beam of multicolored light at the dark creatures. The beam struck the dark creatures, triggering a massive explosion. The dark worms and flying dark beasts were severely damaged by the blast, their bodies beginning to crumble and their dark power weakened.

But just as they thought they had defeated the dark forces, a massive dark demon emerged from the dark rift. The dark demon's body stood a hundred feet tall, shrouded in black mist, revealing only a pair of enormous eyes burning with black flames. In its hand, it held a massive black sickle, stained with black blood, like a weapon of death reaping lives.

"You tiny human, do you think you can stop me? Your struggle is in vain." The Dark Devil's voice resounded like thunder in the world of light. It brandished its black sickle, slashing at Xu Tiancai and the others. Wherever the black sickle passed, the light of the world of light was cut off, and black cracks appeared in space.

Without hesitation, Agang charged at the Dark Devil. Unleashing the might of his great axe to its fullest, he slashed at the Dark Devil's scythe. The axe and scythe collided with a deafening roar. Agang felt as if he had struck a mountain, his body flung backward, blood gushing from his mouth.

Lin cast an ice spell, attempting to freeze the Dark Demon's movements. She unleashed a forbidden ice spell, consuming a significant portion of her own life force, transforming it into an extreme force of cold. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and frost began to form on the Dark Demon's body. However, the Dark Demon merely paused, then continued swinging his scythe.

Xu Tiancai combined all his strength and fired an incredibly powerful beam of light at the Dark Demon. The beam collided with the Dark Demon's scythe, triggering an energy storm. The world of light shook violently in the energy storm, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Amidst the energy storm, Xu Tiancai discovered a core within the Dark Demon's black mist. It was a sphere emitting a dark glow. "Attack its core!" Xu Tiancai shouted. He ignored the impact of the energy storm and rushed towards the Dark Demon's core.
