The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The Ice Princess's crystal ball revealed painful images of her lost loved ones. It was a brutal ice disaster. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were devoured by the forces of darkness in the icy world. Their figures gradually blurred amidst the howling snow and ice, leaving only their desperate cries to echo deep within her soul. Each image was like a sharp ice blade, piercing her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to burst.

Her body trembled slightly, and her wand felt unsteady in her hand. But she knew she couldn't let herself be overwhelmed by grief. She took a deep breath, recalling the warm smiles and encouraging words of her loved ones. Those beautiful memories were like a ray of light shining into the dark abyss. She told herself that her loved ones must want her to be strong, that she could use her power to fight the darkness and protect more lives. She gripped the wand tightly, merging the power of ice with her inner emotions, allowing that warm power to spread within the crystal ball. As her emotions gradually stabilized, the painful images within the crystal ball began to slowly dissipate, like ice and snow melting under the warm spring sun.

When all five people successfully faced and conquered their inner fears, desires, and secrets, the crystal ball shone even brighter, and these rays of light converged to form a huge light gate. Light flowed through the light gate, as if leading to an unknown and sacred world.

The old guardian of the Abyss of Light smiled and nodded. "You have done well. Your hearts are like polished gems, shining brighter. Now, pass through this gate of light, and you will face the final test."

Xu Tiancai and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination, and then walked towards the light gate without hesitation. The moment they passed through the light gate, the surrounding scene changed again.

They found themselves in a vast white world, a world without ups and downs, without boundaries, a universe made of pure light. Within this light, they saw themselves moving through different scenes, scenes that reflected their experiences along the way, yet each was slightly different.

Xu Tiancai saw that, facing the dark demon, he had momentarily retreated, placing his companions in even greater danger. His own cowardice startled him. How could he have made such a choice? But he quickly realized that this was a test from the Light Gate, a simulation of any wavering within him. He clenched his fists and charged toward the cowardly figure, determined to prove his courage with action. The moment he made contact with the figure, a flash of light flashed, and the cowardly figure vanished, his resolve reaffirming.

Ah Gang saw himself, completely blinded by desire when faced with the temptation of various treasures, abandoning his companions and pursuing illusory wealth alone. Guilt welled up in his heart. He knew this wasn't his true self, but the possibility terrified him. With a roar of rage, he raised his axe and struck down the lust-driven self. The flames on the axe burned even more fiercely, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to justice and friendship. As the axe fell, the figure shrouded in desire shattered, and he rediscovered his true self.

Lin saw herself casting elemental magic, her inner fear spiraling out of control once again, unleashing a powerful surge of magic towards innocent people. Her face paled, but she didn't flee. She closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and recalled her understanding and mastery of the elements. She began casting magic, this time imbued with a gentle and healing power that counteracted the uncontrolled magic. When the light returned to its calm state, she knew she had overcome this test.

The mysterious figure saw himself completely consumed by the forces of darkness, becoming its puppet, wreaking havoc on the world. His eyes grew cold and resolute, determined not to allow such a future to become reality. He unleashed the power of darkness, engaging in a fierce battle with his dark self. His dark power was fused with his yearning for light and his pursuit of justice. After a thrilling battle, he successfully annihilated his dark self, breaking free from the darkness. His black robes seemed to take on a tinge of light in the light.

The Ice Princess saw herself, consumed by the pain of losing her loved ones, allowing darkness to spread across the world, her icy powers becoming a tool of destruction. Her heart bled, but she knew she had to change everything. With her wand, she drew a magical circle of ice within this radiant world, casting a powerful ice-sealing spell. She sealed the pain and darkness within the circle, then shattered it with the power of ice. As the icy shards drifted away, she emerged from the haze of her heart.

When they all successfully passed these tests, the surrounding world of light began to shrink, eventually converging into a brilliant ball of light. This ball of light contained an incomparably powerful and pure force that brought them an unprecedented warmth and peace of mind.

"This is the core power of the Abyss of Light. You have passed all the tests and can absorb this power, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must use it to protect the world and purify the darkness." The old man's voice sounded in their ears.

Xu Tiancai reached out and touched the ball of light. Power trickled into his body like a gentle stream. He felt as if his soul had been cleansed. The divine weapon and sword, infused with this power, hummed joyfully, as if resonating with the force of light. A multicolored light shone around him, spreading behind him like wings. He felt his strength elevate to a whole new level.

As Agang felt the surge of power, his armor shone brighter, and the runes on his battle axe gleamed with golden light. His muscles bulged, and strength surged through his body, as if an infinite power awaited him. He roared to the heavens, his voice echoing throughout the radiant space, his fighting spirit rising higher than ever.

As Lin absorbed the power, her connection to the elements grew stronger. She could sense the air around her teeming with vibrant elements, as if the entire world were the source of her elemental magic. The gemstone on her helmet shimmered with brilliant light, and elemental light and shadows appeared around her body. Wind, fire, water, and earth danced joyfully around her.

As the mysterious figure absorbed the power, his body beneath his black robe trembled slightly. Dark and light forces intertwined within him, but the light gradually gained the upper hand. His dark power grew purer, free of any impurities, and his soul was redeemed. Illuminated by the light, his cloak exuded a mysterious and noble aura.

After the Ice Princess absorbed the power of light, the ice patterns on her wand became clearer, as if alive. Her boots became more connected to the earth, and the power of ice emanated from her body, forming beautiful ice flowers. These ice flowers shimmered with a rainbow of colors in the light, symbolizing the perfect fusion of her ice power and the power of light.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of their increased power, the Abyss of Light suddenly began to tremble violently. Black cracks appeared in the luminous space, and a large amount of dark power surged from the cracks. This dark power surged towards them like a black tide, attempting to devour the newly born light.

"Oh no, the dark forces have noticed that we have obtained the power of light and want to stop us!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

They quickly took up their positions, ready to meet the attack of the dark forces. Agang swung his battle axe, and the flames on it merged with the power of light, forming a golden flaming slash that rushed towards the dark forces. "Burn, darkness!" Agang roared, his attack like a flaming meteor, tearing a hole in the dark forces.

Lin cast elemental magic, this time infusing the power of light into the elements. The wind element, imbued with light, formed sharp blades of light, slicing through the forces of darkness. The fire element, combined with the power of light, transformed into balls of blazing flames, burning away the darkness. The water element became shimmering holy water, purifying the dark forces. The earth element, illuminated by the power of light, formed solid shields of light, blocking the onslaught of darkness.

The mysterious figure skillfully blended the forces of darkness and light, making his attacks even more bizarre and powerful. With a wave of his hands, the intertwined forces of darkness and light transformed into gigantic birds of light and darkness. These birds flew toward the forces of darkness, and with a flap of their wings, they released powerful energy, dispelling or devouring them.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, and the power of ice merged with the power of light, forming a vast ice castle of light. Its walls were composed of solid light ice, and its spires unleashed countless ice-light arrows, raining down upon the forces of darkness. Each arrow held a purifying power, freezing and dispersing the forces of darkness wherever it touched.

Xu Tiancai wielded his longsword and divine weapon. He infused them with the power of light, causing the sword's radiance to grow even more dazzling. He charged toward the densest concentration of dark forces, each strike shattering vast swathes of darkness. His figure weaved through the intertwining darkness and light, like a messenger of light, guarding this sacred space.

However, the dark forces seemed endless and growing stronger. As the battle progressed, they discovered that some powerful beings within the dark forces were gradually gathering. These beings exuded a terrifying aura, as if they were the core of the dark forces.

"Everyone be careful, there are more powerful enemies among the dark forces!" Xu Tiancai reminded.

They responded to the dark forces' attacks with increased vigilance, preparing to face the powerful enemy that was about to appear. Suddenly, several enormous figures emerged from the dark forces. These figures seemed to be composed of pure darkness, with ferocious faces and sharp claws. Their eyes flashed an eerie red light, and every glance could instill endless fear in people.

One of the dark figures lunged at Agang, so fast that he barely had time to raise his axe to block. The dark figure's claws collided with the axe, creating a sharp metallic sound. Agang felt a surge of force, sending him flying backward. But he steadied himself in mid-air and charged at the dark figure once more. "Come on, monster! I'm not afraid of you!" Agang roared, the flames on his axe burning even more fiercely.

Another dark figure rushed towards Lin, its maw gaping and a wave of black energy gushing out. Lin quickly cast an elemental shield, infusing it with the power of light. The shield collided with the black energy wave, emitting a dazzling burst of light. Lin's expression darkened. Knowing this enemy was formidable, she began to cast even more powerful elemental magic, preparing for a fierce battle with the dark figure.

The mysterious figure was besieged by two dark figures, his form moving swiftly beneath his black robe. He cleverly dodged the dark figures' attacks using his cloak's spatial traversal capabilities. Simultaneously, he fused the forces of darkness and light, unleashing powerful attacks in an attempt to repel the dark figures. However, the dark figures were cunning, coordinating with each other to give the mysterious figure no respite.

The Ice Princess was also targeted by a dark figure, who swung his massive claws and clawed at her. The Ice Princess waved her wand, creating a wall of icy light before her. The dark figure's claws clawed at the wall, cracking it. The Ice Princess quickly cast her ice repair magic to stabilize the wall while preparing to launch a counterattack.

Xu Tiancai faced the two most powerful dark figures alone, and the power of these two dark figures was even stronger than the others. They attacked Xu Tiancai from the left and the right. Xu Tiancai raised his sword and the artifact, and exerted the power of light to the extreme. A thick layer of light shield appeared around his body, and the shield was flashing with colorful light. The attack of the dark figure fell on the shield, and the shield trembled violently, but it still barely blocked the attack. Xu Tiancai took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. He stabbed one of the dark figures with a sword. This sword contained a powerful power of light and stabbed directly into the dark figure's eyes. The dark figure dodged hurriedly, but was still scratched on the face by the sword, and let out an angry roar.
