The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Finally, under the continuous attacks of the crowd, a huge crack appeared in the energy core of the guardian beast's abdomen. Colorful light gushed out from the crack like a bursting dam. The guardian beast let out a deafening roar, filled with pain and anger, as if it could shatter the entire world.

It suddenly raised its front hoof and stomped hard on the ground. Instantly, the ground trembled violently, and huge energy cracks spread out towards the crowd. From these cracks, energy beams of various colors shot out, pouncing towards them like ferocious venomous snakes.

A-Gang plunged his axe into the ground, steadying himself. He roared, his muscles bulging as a golden layer of fighting spirit flowed through his body, forming an indestructible armor. He swung his axe, slashing at the energy beams directed at him. Each axe stroke carried the force of splitting mountains and shattering rock, severing each energy beam. However, the energy beams continued to flow, and A-Gang gradually began to lose strength. Sweat covered his forehead, but his gaze remained resolute.

Lin unleashed her ultimate skill in wind magic. Her hands danced, her voice muttering to herself, and the surrounding air swirled rapidly, forming a massive vortex of wind. Like a gigantic meat grinder, the vortex sucked in the approaching energy beams. Wind blades whirled rapidly within the vortex, slicing through the energy beams. However, as the guardian beast's rage intensified, the energy beams grew in power, and the vortex began to show signs of instability.

The mysterious figure rapidly formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged in his palms, forming a massive energy shield. Mysterious black and white runes flickered across the shield, absorbing and dissolving the incoming energy beams as they flickered. His face was solemn, and veins bulged on his forehead as he concentrated on maintaining the shield's stability while closely monitoring the movements of the guardian beast.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, chanting an ancient, lengthy ice spell. As the spell rang out, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of ice quickly formed on the ground. The ice spread toward the energy cracks, attempting to seal them and prevent the energy beams from erupting. However, the guardian beast's power was too powerful, and the ice melted the instant it came into contact with the energy beams, transforming into clouds of white vapor.

The man in white played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into a dazzling array of birds of light and elemental spirits of various shapes and colors. Burning with flames, the birds charged toward the energy beams, shielding themselves with their bodies. The elemental spirits surrounded them, unleashing various elemental forces to form a dazzling, protective barrier of light. However, as the energy beams continued to pound, the number of birds and elemental spirits dwindled. The man in white, his face pale, persisted in playing.

Xu Tiancai held the Heart of Light Crystal aloft. It radiated a dazzling light, like the blazing sun. The light enveloped everyone, blending with the defensive power of the others to form a solid fortress. His gaze was sharp as he stared at the guardian beast, searching for another opportunity to strike at its energy core.

"Everyone hold on! We must take advantage of its weakness and give it a fatal blow!" Xu Tiancai shouted loudly, his voice still clearly audible amid the roar of the energy explosion.

Under the fierce resistance of the crowd, the guardian beast's energy impact gradually weakened. Its body began to shake due to the damage to its energy core, and the light in its eyes became dim, but its rage did not diminish in the slightest.

"This is our chance!" the mysterious figure shouted. He thrust his hands forward, transforming the shields of darkness and light into a wave of energy that rushed towards the guardian beast. This wave of energy, like a surging ocean wave, contained immense power. As it advanced, it continuously absorbed the surrounding free energy, becoming even more powerful.

Seeing this, Ah Gang roared and charged at the guardian beast. He leaped high, his axe ablaze with flames even hotter than before, a golden-red blaze like the core of the sun. With all his might, he struck again at the guardian beast's abdominal energy core, the axe slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Lin cast wind magic, summoning the strongest wind blades she could muster. These blades were no longer transparent, but a deep blue, each one seemingly composed of the purest essence of wind. They rained down upon the guardian beast's energy core, their speed so swift that they left streaks of blue light and shadow in the air.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and chanted the Ice Kingdom's most powerful forbidden spell. As the spell was completed, countless massive cones of ice suddenly descended from the sky. These cones, as massive as mountain peaks, each radiated a piercing cold. They smashed down on the guardian beast, aiming for its damaged energy core.

The white-clad figure's flute became more intense, and the sound transformed into an immense phoenix of light. Its body burned with multicolored flames, and it spread its massive wings, swooping down towards the guardian beast. Wherever the phoenix passed, space was scorched and distorted, its target also the guardian beast's energy core.

Xu Tiancai unleashed the power of the Heart of Light Crystal to its fullest, his entire being enveloped in a dazzling white light. He transformed into a meteor-like ray of light, charging towards the guardian beast. As he approached the beast, the longsword in his hand shone with a brilliant light, imbued with the power of endless hope. He thrust the sword into the guardian beast's energy core, a single strike seemingly gathering the world's light, intent on completely dispelling the darkness.

Under the combined force of their attacks, the guardian beast's energy core could no longer withstand the pressure. With a deafening explosion, its energy core shattered completely, dissolving into a rainbow of light that filled the sky. The guardian beast let out a final wail, its massive body slowly collapsing. The moment it touched the ground, it transformed into countless energy points that dissipated into the air.

Everyone stood there exhausted, panting heavily, their bodies more or less covered with scars, but their eyes were filled with the joy of victory.

"We did it..." Lin whispered, her voice a little weak, but full of pride.

"Yes, but we can't stay too long. There are more important tasks waiting for us." Xu Tiancai said. He looked at the shining mountain with determination in his eyes.

After a short rest, the group continued their journey towards the mountain. The road to the mountain was rugged and steep, and each step required a huge amount of physical strength, but they did not complain at all and climbed up step by step.

During their climb, they discovered that the mountain was covered in ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns exuded a mysterious aura, as if telling an ancient story. Xu Tiancai reached out and touched the runes, and he could feel the faint energy fluctuations emanating from them, which contained some vague information.

"These runes... seem to be guiding us to somewhere on the top of the mountain." Xu Tiancai said, frowning slightly as he tried to decipher the meaning of the runes.

The mysterious figure also came to the runes. He carefully observed them for a moment and said, "These runes refer to an ancient energy formation. I've seen similar records in some ancient books. If I'm not mistaken, there should be an important device related to energy node repair on the mountaintop, and these runes are the clues that will lead us to it."

After hearing the mysterious figure's words, everyone's spirits lifted and they quickened their pace. As they got closer to the top of the mountain, the rune's light grew brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuations grew stronger.

Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. Atop it lay a vast platform, and in its center stood a massive energy formation. This energy formation was composed of countless luminous crystals of varying colors, arranged according to a specific pattern, forming a complex and mysterious pattern. At its center, a suspended sphere of light seemed to hold the secrets of the entire world.

"Is this what we are looking for?" A Gang looked at the energy formation with an amazed look in his eyes.

"It should be, but we can't act rashly. This energy formation looks very complicated. If it is triggered incorrectly, it may cause danger." The mysterious figure reminded.

Everyone approached the energy formation cautiously, carefully observing the arrangement of the crystals and the fluctuations of the light ball. Xu Tiancai discovered that the fluctuation frequency of the light ball had some subtle connection with the energy node they had previously repaired, as if they were different parts of a whole.

"There must be some connection between this ball of light and the energy nodes. If we find a way to activate this formation, we may be able to find the key to repairing all the energy nodes." Xu Tiancai said.

At this moment, phantom figures suddenly appeared on the platform. These figures, dressed in ancient attire, had blurred features, but their movements and gestures suggested they were performing some kind of ritual. The phantom figures slowly moved around the energy formation, holding various strange props and muttering to themselves.

"Are these... powerful people from ancient times? What are they doing?" Lin asked curiously.

Everyone watched the illusory figure's ritual in silence, trying to find some clue. As the ritual progressed, the energy formation's light grew more dazzling, and the crystals' rays began to intertwine, forming brilliant rays. These rays weaved through the formation, outlining mysterious scenes.

The image depicts the origin of the world, where countless energies converged in chaos to form the first planets and life. Over time, the world prospered, but this also attracted some evil forces. These forces attempted to disrupt the world's balance, so ancient warriors united to create energy nodes and this mysterious formation to seal and counteract these evil forces.

"So that's how it is. This formation is the key to protecting the world." The Ice Princess said, her eyes full of awe.

However, the scene continued to change, revealing a horrific catastrophe. The Chaos Lord's power suddenly increased, breaking through some of its seals and beginning to erode energy nodes. To stop the Chaos Lord, the ancient warriors engaged in a brutal battle. Many warriors perished in the battle, and the energy nodes were severely damaged.

"It seems that our task is more difficult than we imagined." The mysterious figure said with a frown.

As the scene ended, the illusory figures gradually disappeared, but they left behind some information, which appeared in the form of runes around the energy formation.

Xu Tiancai and the others hurriedly deciphered the runes, discovering they described how to activate the formation. They needed to inject their own power into the crystals of the energy formation in a specific proportion and sequence, while maintaining resonance with the energy of the light ball.

"This sounds complicated, but we have no other choice." Xu Tiancai said, looking at everyone, "Are you all ready?"

Everyone nodded, and they each stood at a different position in the energy formation. Following the instructions of the runes, they began to inject their own power into the crystal.

Agang plunged his battle axe into the ground and continuously poured his fighting spirit into the red crystal in front of him. His fighting spirit was as hot as a flame, and after the red crystal absorbed his power, its light became even more intense, and the entire crystal seemed to be burning.

Lin cast wind magic, transforming the power of the wind into gentle streams of air, which she injected into the blue crystal. Under the infusion of wind power, the blue crystal began to spin, and the surrounding air followed suit, forming small vortexes of wind.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals and carefully separated the powers of darkness and light, injecting them into the black and white crystals respectively. After absorbing his power, the black and white crystals began to shimmer with a strange light. The powers of darkness and light intertwined and collided within the crystals, yet maintained a delicate balance.
