The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The strange light that shot forth from the depths of the extradimensional tunnel was like an arrow piercing spacetime, its speed so swift that Xu Tiancai and the others barely had time to react. The light carried an ancient and mysterious aura, and wherever it passed, space seemed to be scorched, sending distorted ripples through it.

Xu Tiancai bore the brunt of the attack. He suddenly increased the power of his artifact to its limit. With a wave of his hands, he wove a multicolored curtain of light before him, woven from the power of the stars, the power of the phoenix, and the power of the guardian pearl. The light from the curtain flowed like a brilliant galaxy, brilliant and resilient. The power of the artifact and his own magic fused together, causing the curtain of light to instantly become incredibly thick, like the strongest barrier in the universe.

Agang roared, his muscles bulging like steel. He plunged his battle axe into the ground. The runes on the axe instantly illuminated, releasing a powerful surge of power. This power spread across the ground, forming an earthen wall shimmering with runic light. The wall rapidly rose and thickened, forming a solid defense before the multicolored curtain of light. The runes on the wall's surface flickered, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura, as if speaking of ancient power and protection.

Lin quickly formed hand seals, muttered a mantra, and cast a massive elemental shield. She mobilized all the surrounding elements of wind, fire, water, and earth. These four elements converged in front of her, forming a vast, iridescent spherical shield. The wind element formed a swirling stream of air around the outer layer, like a sharp blade, slicing and shattering any approaching force. The fire element ignited within the airflow, creating a blazing flame that illuminated the entire shield a brilliant crimson, scorching the surrounding air. The water element, trailing the flames, transformed into a surging curtain of water, cooling the heat and protecting against powerful impacts. The earth element, the innermost layer, formed the shield's core, like an unyielding mountain, providing solid support. This elemental shield emanated powerful magical fluctuations, resonating with the multicolored light curtain and rune-shaped earth wall, forming a multi-layered defensive system.

The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess also sprang into action. The mysterious figure clasped his hands together and chanted an ancient, obscure spell, summoning a protective light from the darkness. Countless golden rays instantly appeared from the darkness, interweaving like silk threads to form a vast golden web above them. Mysterious runes shimmered within the web, each imbued with a powerful protective power capable of warding off evil and destructive forces. The Ice Princess then unleashed her ice magic, drastically lowering the surrounding temperature, causing the moisture in the air to condense into countless massive ice blocks. These blocks quickly accumulated around them, forming a massive iceberg. The iceberg emanated a biting chill, its surface covered in sharp icy spikes, resembling a giant hedgehog. These spikes pointed in the direction of the light, ready to ward off any incoming impact.

However, the power of that strange light far exceeded their imagination. The moment it came into contact with the multicolored light curtain, countless cracks appeared on the curtain, like fragile glass. The multicolored light flickered in the cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment. The impact of the light penetrated the light curtain and directly impacted the rune-shaped earth wall. The runes on the wall began to flicker and distort under the powerful impact, and some runes even collapsed, causing the wall to tremble violently.

The elemental shields were severely tested by the onslaught of light. The outer layer of wind air was easily pierced by the light, like a sharp blade encountering an indestructible artifact, instantly shredded. The fire elemental flames paled insignificantly before the light, extinguishing flames wherever it passed, leaving only wisps of black smoke. The water elemental's curtain rippled violently under the impact of the light. While temporarily resisting further erosion, the water curtain had become too thin and threatened to break at any moment. The earth elemental core, though solid, began to show tiny cracks under the constant pressure of the light.

The golden net and the iceberg were equally shaky under the impact of the light. The golden net's light began to dim, and some of the interwoven runes began to loosen, and holes appeared in the net. The ice spikes on the iceberg's surface quickly melted under the light, and cracks began to appear in the ice. The entire iceberg creaked and creaked, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Everyone, don't panic! Let's work together to block this light!" Xu Tiancai shouted, his voice clearly audible over the roar of light and the cracking of shields. He gritted his teeth and poured all his remaining strength into the multicolored light curtain, attempting to repair the cracks and strengthen its defenses.

Ah Gang also felt the immense pressure. He gripped the axe handle tightly, pouring his strength into the rune wall. As he poured in his strength, the runes on the wall's surface, which had been cracked, began to light up again. The wall's trembling gradually subsided, stabilizing once more and withstanding some of the impact of the light.

Lin concentrated her mind, fully committed to maintaining the elemental shield. She poured more magic power into the water curtain, attempting to repair the damage. Simultaneously, she mobilized the remaining wind, fire, and earth elements to strengthen the rest of the shield. Under her control, the wind element gathered again, forming a new airflow that filled the area damaged by the light. The fire element burned again, though not as vigorously as before, but it also added a layer of heat to the shield. The cracks in the earth element gradually healed under her magic, and the core of the shield became solid again.

The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess refused to give up. The mysterious figure chanted his incantation faster, summoning more golden rays to patch the holes in the web. The golden rays intertwined, reinforcing the runes, and the web's light shone brightly once again. The Ice Princess then unleashed her ice magic, condensing the surrounding water vapor into ice to fill the cracks on the iceberg's surface. She injected even more chill into the iceberg, solidifying it even more and sharpening its spikes once again.

With their combined efforts, the defense system temporarily stabilized the situation, but the impact of the light remained immensely powerful. The stalemate between the light and the defenses continuously generated energy fluctuations, which spread outward, exacerbating the distortions in the extradimensional space. It was as if the entire space was trembling with fear at the hands of this life-or-death struggle.

During this intense defense, Xu Tiancai carefully observed the strange light. He discovered that at its core lay a tiny sphere, shimmering with strange runes. This sphere emanated a powerful and ancient energy, seemingly the source of the light's energy.

"I found the core of the light! If we can attack that core sphere, maybe we can break the attack of this light!" Xu Tiancai shouted loudly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

When everyone heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, but they were currently busy maintaining defense and could not launch an attack immediately.

"We have to find a way to disperse the power of this light, and then look for an opportunity to attack the core!" Agang shouted, his battle axe trembling slightly in the earth wall, as if responding to his determination.

Lin thought for a moment, then said, "I can try to cast an elemental disruption spell, perhaps causing confusion in the elemental power of this light, thus dispersing its power."

The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess also nodded in agreement.

Lin took a deep breath and began to cast an elemental disruption spell. She dispersed her magical power into the surrounding elements. Through special incantations and hand gestures, she caused the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth to blend and collide in a chaotic manner. Under her control, the elements became violent, forming elemental storms. These elemental storms swept towards the strange light. Upon contact with the light, the elemental power within it was affected. The once stable and powerful light began to fluctuate and become disordered, and the impact of the light was weakened.

"Now! Let's attack!" Xu Tiancai seized this opportunity, merging the power of the stars, the phoenix, the guardian pearl, and the four divine artifacts once again, forming a dazzling, multicolored arrow of light. This arrow was more powerful than any he had unleashed before. The runes on it shimmered with a mysterious light, imbued with power enough to destroy stars. Concentrating his energy, he fired the arrow towards the sphere at the center of the light.

Agang also sprang into action, yanking his battle axe from the earthen wall and leaping high. He swung the axe through the air, unleashing his own strength and the power of the runes on it to its fullest potential, forming a massive axe blade. Like a roaring dragon, the axe blade rushed towards the core of the light. The runes on the axe shone in the blade, unleashing a formidable destructive force.

Lin cast a precise spell, concentrating her remaining elemental power to form a massive elemental leopard. Its body was composed of the four elements: wind, fire, water, and earth. Its fur shone like flames, and its eyes were as deep as blue gemstones. With its hooves surging, the elemental leopard streaked towards the core of light. Wherever it passed, space was ripped apart by the elemental force, leaving a trail of dazzling light.

The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess attacked simultaneously. The mysterious figure summoned arrows of destruction from the darkness. These black arrows gleamed with golden runes, each imbued with immense destructive power. Countless arrows of destruction rained down upon the core of light, piercing through the radiance and triggering a series of energy explosions. The Ice Princess, in turn, unleashed her ice magic, transforming the surrounding ice into countless piercing ice spears. Under her control, these spears shot towards the core of light. Their speed was immense, leaving shimmering trails in the light, like a meteor shower in the night sky.

Their attacks simultaneously struck the sphere at the core of the light. The sphere trembled violently under the powerful attack, and the runes on its surface began to flicker and distort. The light also became extremely unstable, and the impact force was drastically weakened.

"We succeeded! Keep attacking!" Xu Tiancai shouted, unleashing his power once more to form more arrows of light, which he fired at the sphere. The others also intensified their attacks, launching round after round of fierce attacks at the core of the light.

Under their continuous attack, the core sphere of light finally gave way and exploded violently. The energy waves generated by the explosion spread out in all directions, and their defense system was once again tested by the impact of the energy wave, but this time the impact was much smaller than before.

As the core of light exploded, the strange light gradually dissipated, and the distortion in the extradimensional space began to slowly return to normal. They breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the battle was not over yet.

"We have to quickly complete the seal and close the channel. We can't give the other dimension any chance to fight back." Xu Tiancai said. He looked at the sealing magic circle. At this time, the light of the magic circle was affected by the previous battle and became a little dim, but it was still running.

They returned to the magic circle and poured their remaining power into it. As they poured their power into it, the magic circle's light gradually grew brighter, and the seal's power slowly grew stronger. The extradimensional passageway contracted at a faster pace, and the dark forces surrounding it were steadily dispelled.

However, just as the seal was about to be completed, a strong energy fluctuation was heard from the depths of the extradimensional channel again. This energy fluctuation contained a sense of despair, as if the entire extradimensional space was making a final struggle for its own fate.

A massive black crack appeared within the passage, and from it gushed a torrent of black energy. This torrent surged like a black ocean, containing countless dark creatures and sinister forces. The dark creatures screamed shrilly, their forms varied: some resembled giant octopuses, others winged demons, and still others resembled skeletons blazing with black flames. These dark creatures pounced upon them, their eyes gleaming with madness and hatred.
