The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The white monsters' attacks grew increasingly ferocious, breaking through the ice wall and the light net, surging towards the crowd like a tide. They were trapped before the tower's light curtain, with no escape. Xu Tiancai swung his sword with impenetrable force, but each blow drained his stamina even further, and the light of the Heart of Light crystal flickered in the intense battle.

The flames on Agang's battle axe reignited, and he roared as he charged into the group of monsters, his axe bringing a rain of blood wherever it touched him. However, the white monsters were too numerous, and they pounced on Agang from all directions, their sharp claws leaving deep wounds on his body, and his clothes were soaked with blood.

Lin's wind magic had reached its limit, and the tornado, after a brief rage, gradually dissipated. She gasped, her face pale as paper, but she gritted her teeth and pressed on, forming hand seals to summon wind blades, attempting to stop the monsters from approaching. However, the blades proved powerless against the monsters' tough fur, leaving only shallow marks.

The mysterious figure's dark and light powers, consumed continuously, began to spiral out of control. The intertwined forces surged around him, nearly injuring his own men several times. Veins bulged on his forehead as he struggled to stabilize his strength, attempting to rebuild his defenses, but the white monster offered them no respite.

The Ice Princess's icy powers were beginning to falter under the onslaught of the monster, and the newly formed ice quickly shattered. Her lips had already turned purple from the cold, and her body was trembling slightly, but she still pointed her wand firmly at the enemy, continuously releasing icicles.

The man in white played the flute faster and faster, the sound becoming more rapid and sharp. Light butterflies fluttered around him, and he repeatedly exploded to block the monsters. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, his eyes remained firm, and the power of his flute music gradually weakened.

Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky. It fell like a meteor, transforming into a massive golden shield as it approached the ground, separating everyone from the white monsters. The monsters collided with the shield, being repelled by the powerful force and wailing.

Everyone stared in amazement at this sudden aid. As the light gradually faded, a knight in golden armor emerged. His armor was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a powerful, sacred aura. The knight wielded a lance, its tip gleaming with a brilliant light that seemed to pierce through all darkness.

"Who are you? Why are you being attacked by these monsters here?" The knight's voice was low and majestic, echoing in everyone's ears like a huge bell.

Xu Tiancai stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "We are warriors chosen by fate to prevent the destruction of the world. We are trying to enter this tower to seal away the evil forces. May I know who you are?"

The knight nodded slightly and said, "I am the leader of the Holy Knights guarding these ancient ruins. I sensed unusual energy fluctuations here and came to investigate. It seems you have a great mission."

At this moment, the white monsters attacked again, recklessly charging towards the golden shield. The knight sneered, swung his spear, and chanted an ancient spell. From the tip of his spear, golden rays shot out, piercing the monsters' bodies like sharp arrows, destroying them one by one. Faced with the knight's overwhelming power, the white monsters were powerless to fight back, and soon the ground was littered with their corpses.

As the last white monster fell, the knight sheathed his lance, and the golden shield vanished. He walked toward the crowd, scanning each of them. He said, "You seek to enter the tower, but the runes of this light curtain are not easily broken. These are ancient divine runes, imbued with a powerful seal."

The mysterious figure stepped forward and said, "We've found some clues that seem to be related to the wind element and the surrounding stone statues, but we haven't been able to fully decipher it yet."

The knight walked up to the light curtain, carefully examining the runes. He said, "Your direction is correct, but we're still missing a crucial link. These runes are also connected to specific star powers. Only when the star power and the power of the wind element resonate with each other can we find a way to break it."

Hope ignited in everyone's hearts when they heard this. Lin looked up at the sky and said, "Then how do we mobilize the power of the stars?"

The knight pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "That mountain is where the star power of this area converges. On the top of the mountain lies an ancient star stone. You need to bring the star stone here, place it in a specific direction, and cast wind elemental magic at the same time. Perhaps you can open the light curtain."

Ah Gang frowned and said, "That mountain looks very far away from here, and there might be other dangers around."

The knight nodded and said, "Indeed, this journey will not be easy. But this is the only way at the moment. I will go with you and protect you as you obtain the Star Stone."

Everyone was filled with gratitude. After getting ready, they followed the knight towards the mountain. Along the way, they passed through a dense forest. The trees were tall and ancient, their branches intertwined, and the sunlight could only filter through the layers of leaves, casting scattered spots of light. A mysterious atmosphere permeated the forest, and from time to time, strange cries could be heard, making people feel creepy.

Suddenly, a swarm of winged scorpions swooped down from the trees. Their tails flashed with a poisonous light, and their wings flapped with a buzzing sound. The knight shouted and swung his spear, forming a golden light curtain around the crowd. The scorpions collided with the light curtain, were deflected, and then quickly attacked again.

Lin cast wind magic, blowing the scorpions toppling. Agang wielded his battle axe, slicing each approaching scorpion to pieces. A mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light transformed into rays of light that pierced the scorpions' bodies. The Ice Princess waved her wand, freezing the scorpions in mid-air. A figure in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into birds of light, pecking at the scorpions.

With everyone's cooperation, the scorpion swarm was gradually eliminated. However, during the battle, A Gang was accidentally scratched by the tail of a scorpion. The wound quickly turned black and the poison began to spread. The Ice Princess hurriedly used her ice power to freeze A Gang's injured part, preventing the poison from spreading further.

The knight took out a bottle of potion from his arms, handed it to Agang, and said, "This is a holy medicine for detoxification. Drinking it can relieve the toxins." Agang took the potion and drank it all. After a while, the black color of the wound gradually faded, and his complexion recovered a little.

The group continued on their way, finally reaching the foot of the mountain. The peak towered into the clouds, its face steep and covered in sharp rocks. They struggled to climb the rugged path, each step filled with difficulty. As they climbed, huge rocks would occasionally roll down the mountain, forcing them to carefully avoid them.

As they approached the summit, a powerful pressure washed over them. Atop the mountain was a massive magic circle, with the Star Stone at its center. Lightning swirled around the circle, interweaving to form a powerful barrier.

The knight looked at the magic circle and said, "This is the last line of defense set up by the Star Guardian. If you want to get the Star Stone, you must pass through this lightning barrier."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, knowing this was a formidable challenge. Xu Tiancai stepped forward, saying, "I'll try first!" He infused his sword with the power of light and charged toward the lightning barrier. As he approached the barrier, lightning pounced on him like a serpent. Xu Tiancai swung his sword to block it, but the lightning was too powerful, and he was repelled, his entire body numb and his hair singed.

Lin walked over to Xu Tiancai and said, "Let's try it together. Perhaps the wind element can disrupt the lightning attack." Everyone nodded, each exerting their powers. Lin summoned a powerful wind element, which surrounded them, forming a wind shield. A mysterious figure imbued the shield with the power of darkness and light, while the Ice Princess condensed a layer of ice on the shield's surface, enhancing its defenses. A figure in white played a flute, and the sound of the flute transformed into elemental spirits that moved within the shield, stabilizing its power.

With everyone's concerted efforts, they advanced once more towards the lightning barrier. Lightning continuously bombarded the shield, causing it to shake violently. Everyone gritted their teeth and struggled forward, step by step. Agang bore most of the impact, his legs trembling slightly under the weight, but he remained steadfast.

After a difficult struggle, they finally passed through the lightning barrier and arrived before the Star Stone. The Star Stone emanated a soft glow, and was engraved with star patterns, as if containing the mysteries of the entire universe. Xu Tiancai reached out and took the Star Stone. Suddenly, a powerful stellar force surged into his body, and he felt his strength greatly increased.

The group quickly descended the mountain, carrying the Star Stone, toward the tower. When they returned to the tower's light curtain, they placed the Star Stone according to the knight's instructions. Then, Lin cast a wind elemental spell. As the power of the stars and the wind element resonated, the runes on the light curtain began to flicker violently, their light growing brighter and brighter.

With a resounding roar, the curtain of light slowly opened, revealing a mysterious passageway before everyone. A strange light flickered within, filled with an unknown aura. Everyone took a deep breath and, under the watchful gaze of the knight, stepped into the passageway. They had no idea what awaited them within, but their hearts were filled with unwavering faith. To save the world, they feared nothing.

As soon as they entered the passage, they felt a powerful suction that seemed to suck their souls away. Strange images flashed on the walls of the passage, scenes of world destruction and the tragic scenes of countless lives being destroyed. These images continuously shocked everyone's mind.

Xu Tiancai gripped the Star Stone tightly, unleashing its power to calm everyone's nerves. Ah Gang, gripping his battle axe, led the way. Lin cast wind magic, dispelling some of the approaching mist. The mysterious figure vigilantly observed their surroundings, prepared for any danger. The Ice Princess and the man in white followed behind, ready to provide support.

After walking for a while through the passage, they arrived at a vast hall. The ceiling was inlaid with countless dazzling gems, illuminating the entire space. In the center of the hall stood a large circular platform, upon which rested five crystals—the very creation crystals they were seeking.

However, a transparent energy shield surrounded the crystal, shimmering with complex runes. Just as everyone was preparing to figure out how to break the shield, a sinister laugh echoed through the hall. A dark figure slowly emerged from the corner, shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes, emitting a sinister aura.

"Do you think you can get the Creation Crystal easily? This is where you will die!" The shadow's voice sounded like it came from hell, making people shudder.

Everyone immediately took up combat stances, ready to face the new challenge. Xu Tiancai handed the Star Stone to Lin and said, "Find a chance to break the energy shield, and we'll hold him back!" Lin took the Star Stone, nodded, and stepped back to study the runes.

Agang rushed towards the shadow, his axe ablaze as he slashed at it. The shadow sneered and flicked his sleeve lightly, sending a surge of powerful dark energy surging out, knocking Agang back. The mysterious figure formed hand seals, interweaving the forces of darkness and light into a massive lightsaber, which stabbed at the shadow. The shadow dodged the lightsaber's attack with a flash of speed, then lunged at the mysterious figure with blinding speed.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, creating spikes of ice in the shadow's path. The shadow seemed unfazed, passing through them, its black robe only rippled slightly, unscathed. A figure in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into giant birds of light, flying towards the shadow. The shadow waved its hands, and the dark force formed a vast net, capturing each bird and crushing it.

Seeing the situation was dire, Xu Tiancai unleashed the full power of the Heart of Light Crystal, unleashing a massive blast of luminous sword energy at the shadowy figure. Feeling the force of the energy, the shadowy figure halted its attack, forming hand seals and a dark shield before it. The luminous sword energy and the dark shield collided with a deafening roar that shook the entire hall.

During this brief standoff, Lin discovered a flaw in the energy shield's runes. She fused the power of the stars with the power of the wind element and fired at a rune point on the energy shield. The rune flickered a few times, and a crack appeared in the energy shield. Lin, delighted, continued to increase her power output.

The shadowy figure noticed Lin's movements and tried to stop her, but was held back by Xu Tiancai and the others. Ah Gang rushed forward again, brandishing his battle axe, ignoring his injuries and attacking the shadowy figure with all his might. The mysterious figure and the man in white also continuously used their skills to disrupt the shadowy figure's movements. The Ice Princess, on the side, unleashed her icy powers, creating a favorable battle environment for everyone.

As Lin continued to attack, the cracks in the energy shield grew larger. Finally, with a crisp sound, the energy shield shattered. The light of the five creation crystals instantly illuminated the entire hall, and powerful elemental power surged out.

Seeing this, the black shadow roared angrily, "You won't succeed!" He desperately lunged at the Creation Crystals, intent on destroying them. Everyone rushed towards the black shadow, stopping him at the critical moment. Xu Tiancai infused his sword with the power of light and stabbed it at the black shadow. The sword pierced through his black robe, sending him screaming.

Agang seized the opportunity and swung his axe, striking the shadow. The shadow dodged the attack, but was struck by the mysterious figure's combined powers of darkness and light. The white-clad figure's flute music transformed into chains of light, binding the shadow. The Ice Princess waved her wand, freezing the shadow's feet to the ground.

Under the combined attack of the crowd, the shadow gradually lost its strength. His body began to dissipate, and the red light in his eyes dimmed. "You will not succeed... There will be even more powerful beings..." The shadow's voice gradually faded, and finally disappeared into thin air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to the Creation Crystal. The five crystals radiated different colors of light. The Wind Crystal was cyan, light as a breeze; the Fire Crystal was red, fiery as a flame; the Water Crystal was blue, deep as a lake; the Earth Crystal was yellow, thick as the earth; and the Ice Crystal was white, pure as ice and snow.

Xu Tiancai reached out to pick up the crystal, but at that moment, the hall suddenly shook violently, and the gems on the ceiling began to fall. "Oh no, this place is collapsing! We have to leave quickly!" Ah Gang shouted.

Everyone hurriedly grabbed the Genesis Crystal and ran out of the passage. Behind them, the hall continued to collapse, boulders rolled down, and smoke and dust filled the air. They ran towards the exit with all their might, with only one thought in their minds: to escape with the Genesis Crystal and complete their mission to save the world.

Finally, they rushed out of the passage and returned to the tower entrance. The sky outside had turned pitch black, covered in dark clouds, and thunder and lightning roared. It seemed as if the end of the world was approaching, and the Genesis Crystal in their hands was the only ray of hope.

They had no time to stop and rushed towards the place where the destructive force was sealed. They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, but their steps were firm and powerful because they were the last hope of this world.
