The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The man in black robe said viciously: "Don't be happy too soon. Even if I die, the power of darkness will not let you go." His voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying endless resentment. Every word echoed in this twisted extra-dimensional space, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, the rune tattoos on the black-robed figure suddenly shone with an eerie black light. The previously restrained dark forces, as if summoned by some kind of summons, began to surge wildly. The light chains that had originally surrounded his body, eroded by the dark forces, began to crack, as if they would completely collapse in the next second.

Seeing this, Xu Tiancai hurriedly increased the power of his artifact, attempting to stabilize the light chain. However, the dark energy emanating from the black-robed figure was too strong, and cracks in the light chain began to appear. Ah Gang swung his battle axe, striking the black-robed figure's head again. The runes on the axe shone brightly, and each blow unleashed a powerful surge of energy. However, the black-robed figure seemed to have no regard for his own safety. He concentrated all his dark energy and launched a lethal attack on Xu Tiancai and the others.

A black column of energy shot up from the black-robed figure, twisting and ripping space wherever it passed. Like a raging black beast, it swept toward Xu Tiancai and the others. Xu Tiancai and the others felt an unprecedented pressure, knowing that if they were struck by it, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

Lin cast a massive defensive spell, combining the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth in a unique ratio to form a multicolored elemental shield. As soon as the shield formed, it was struck by a column of black energy, emitting a deafening roar. The shield trembled violently under the impact of the energy column, and dense cracks appeared on its surface, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess each unleashed their strongest defensive magic to aid Lin in resisting this terrifying energy. The mysterious figure summoned a dark protective barrier, a black light interwoven into a massive spherical barrier that enveloped everyone. The Ice Princess then unleashed her ice magic, creating a thick layer of ice around the outer layer of the protective barrier. The ice spikes on this layer pointed in the direction of the energy column, attempting to disperse the impact.

Agang still didn't give up on the black-robed man. He roared, swinging his axe faster and more fiercely. Each of his attacks was filled with the momentum of a desperate struggle. The axe struck the black-robed man, splashing waves of black blood and energy. Although the black-robed man endured Agang's attacks, his attention remained focused on the black energy column, as if he was waiting for the moment when Xu Tiancai and his men's defenses would collapse.

Xu Tiancai took a deep breath and poured his magic power into the artifact without reservation. The artifact sensed Xu Tiancai's determination and shone brightly. A multicolored glow, like a blazing sun, illuminated the entire twisted, other-dimensional space. Xu Tiancai raised the artifact and fired a powerful arrow of light at the black energy column. Like a flaming meteor, the arrow pierced the darkness and flew towards the energy column.

The arrow of light collided with the black energy column, unleashing a dazzling burst of light. Like a gorgeous flower blooming in the darkness, the light stained the entire space in a vast expanse of white. Under the impact of the light, the momentum of the black energy column was slightly hindered, but it continued to slowly advance, its destructive power undiminished.

At this critical moment, Xu Tiancai suddenly noticed that after the black-robed man launched the energy column attack, a portion of the rune tattoo on his body dimmed. He had a sudden thought, suspecting this might be a flaw in the black-robed man. He shouted to A Gang, "Attack his rune tattoos! Those runes may be the key to his power!"

Upon hearing Xu Tiancai's words, Ah Gang immediately changed his attack. He no longer struck the black-robed man's head, but instead slashed at the dimly glowing rune tattoo on his body. The battle axe struck with powerful force, striking the tattoo with pinpoint accuracy. More cracks appeared on the tattoo under the attack, and the black-robed man roared in pain.

Lin, the mysterious figure, and the Ice Princess understood Xu Tiancai's intentions. While maintaining their defenses, they also began looking for opportunities to attack the black-robed man's rune tattoos. Lin cast a precise elemental spell, concentrating the fire element into a flaming sword, which she thrust at the black-robed man's rune tattoos. Wherever the flaming sword touched, the air distorted and burned.

The mysterious figure summoned the power of judgment from the darkness, sending black rays of light shooting like arrows at the black-robed figure's rune tattoos. These black arrows, gleaming with golden runes, dimmed the rune tattoos upon impact. The Ice Princess then unleashed her ice magic, creating sharp icy spikes around the black-robed figure. These spikes flew towards the rune tattoos, attempting to disrupt their structure.

Under their combined attack, the rune tattoo on the black-robed figure was severely damaged. As the rune tattoo was damaged, the power of the black energy column began to gradually weaken. Xu Tiancai and the others took the opportunity to increase their attack, knowing that this was the perfect opportunity to defeat the black-robed figure.

Xu Tiancai increased the power of the artifact to its maximum, firing multicolored rays of light at the black-robed man. These rays flew towards him like dazzling stars. After the rays struck the black-robed man, they left burn marks on his body, and he began to tremble violently.

Agang's battle axe swung more fiercely, each strike causing greater damage to the black-robed man's rune tattoo. Lin's flaming sword also repeatedly pierced the rune tattoo, causing more and more cracks on the rune tattoo. The mysterious figure and the Ice Princess' attacks became more and more precise, and the black-robed man's rune tattoo gradually lost its luster under their attacks.

Finally, the black-robed figure could no longer withstand their attacks, and the black energy column completely vanished. He collapsed weakly to the ground, the dark energy surrounding him rapidly dissipating. But his eyes remained filled with hatred. He stared at Xu Tiancai and the others and said weakly, "Do you think this will stop us? There are more dark forces waiting for you... This extradimensional core... its secrets you will never grasp..." With that, the black-robed figure disintegrated into a puff of black smoke and vanished into thin air.

Xu Tiancai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew the black-robed man's words were true. This extradimensional core must hold many secrets waiting to be explored, and the Dark Organization wouldn't give up easily. They turned to look at the extradimensional core. This fist-sized sphere still radiated a rainbow of light, its intricate patterns seeming to tell an ancient and mysterious story.

They approached the extradimensional core cautiously. This time, it didn't fire an electric current at them. Xu Tiancai reached out and gently touched the core's surface. As his hand touched the core, a powerful surge of information flooded into his mind. This information contained all sorts of knowledge about the extradimensional space, including the structure of the extradimensional channel, the laws governing the energy of the extradimensional space, and how to use this core to control the extradimensional space.

Xu Tiancai shared this information with everyone, and they began to study it carefully. During their research, they discovered that this extradimensional core seemed to be connected to multiple extradimensional spaces. Some of these extradimensional spaces were brimming with vitality and energy, while others were corroded by dark forces and left in ruins. The various dangers and challenges they had previously experienced were all related to these different states of extradimensional space.

According to the information, in order to completely eliminate the dark power in the core of the dimension, they need to find three special keys. These three keys are hidden in three different dimensions, each with unique dangers and puzzles waiting for them to solve.

They decided to search for the key in the first alternate dimension. Xu Tiancai cast a spell, using the alternate dimension core to open a passageway to the first alternate dimension. A soft light flickered in the passageway, like a mysterious path to an unknown world. They took a deep breath and stepped into the passageway.

When they emerged from the passage, they found themselves in a beautiful and mysterious forest. The trees here towered into the sky, their trunks intricately patterned with veins that emitted a faint fluorescent glow, illuminating a corner of the forest. The leaves were a dazzling array of colors, each a work of art, swaying gently in the breeze, creating a melodious rustling sound.

The forest was filled with a refreshing floral fragrance, a scent that made one feel relaxed and refreshed, as if all fatigue and worries had been swept away. The forest floor was covered with soft moss and a variety of exotic flowers. These flowers varied in shape, some resembled dancing butterflies, others like twinkling stars, their vibrant colors complementing the surrounding environment.

However, beneath this beautiful appearance, there is an inexplicable danger hidden. Xu Tiancai and others can feel that there is a mysterious force in the forest watching them. Although this force does not show obvious hostility, it makes them dare not take it lightly.

They walked along a winding path through the forest, seemingly endless. As they walked, they noticed some strange phenomena. Sometimes, they saw trees shift in position, as if they were alive and moving freely. Sometimes, they heard strange noises that sounded like the whispers of some living creature, but they couldn't tell where they came from.

Suddenly, a beautiful bird flew overhead. Its feathers were as brilliant as a rainbow, and its flight was graceful and light. It circled overhead and then flew deeper into the forest. Xu Tiancai and the others thought the bird might be a guide, so they decided to follow it.

After following the bird for a while, they arrived at a lake. The water was crystal clear, revealing glittering crystals and colorful fish swimming at the bottom. Beside the lake stood an ancient pavilion, its architecture unique, its pillars engraved with intricate designs and mysterious symbols. The bird perched on top of the pavilion, as if waiting for them.

They entered the pavilion and found a stone table in its center, upon which lay a chessboard. The pieces were carved from various precious gemstones, emitting a captivating light. On one side of the board lay a slip of paper with some words written on it. Lin approached, picked up the slip, and began to decipher the words.

The text on the note revealed that this was an ancient chess game. Only by solving this game could one obtain the key to the depths of another dimension. However, this game was extremely complex, and every move required careful consideration, otherwise it would trigger a trap.

Xu Tiancai and his companions gathered around the chessboard and began to study it. They discovered that the rules of this game differed from those they were familiar with. The pieces on the board had unique movement patterns and abilities. Furthermore, there appeared to be hidden mechanisms on the board that, if triggered, could bring unexpected dangers.

They began to try to make the first move. Xu Tiancai picked up a chess piece and carefully moved it to a position. The moment he put the piece down, the light on the chessboard flickered, and the air around them became tense. They knew they had begun this dangerous game.

Over the next few minutes, they cracked the chess game, step by step. With each move, the board would undergo a transformation: sometimes a flash of light, sometimes the automatic movement of a chess piece, sometimes a small energy shock. They needed to constantly reflect and react to these changes in order to move forward.

After a strenuous effort, they finally neared the end of the game. But at this moment, the danger on the chessboard reached its peak. Powerful energy fluctuations appeared on the chessboard, forming small energy storms that swept towards them.
