The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The crystal ball's resounding roar was like a hammer, hammering the entire dark castle. As the cracks widened, a surge of power erupted from within the crystal ball, like a prehistoric beast freed from its shackles, charging in all directions. This force, carrying a destructive aura, instantly shattered the surrounding walls, sending black stone raining down.

Xu Tiancai gripped the Sword of Creation tightly. Its rainbow-colored light flickered amidst the rain of rubble, creating a safe space for him. His gaze pierced the crumbling crystal ball, knowing that the battle had entered its most crucial moment. The trembling of each rubble hitting the ground was like the final struggle of the dark forces. He could not afford to let up even a little.

Agang swung his battle axe, his golden fighting spirit blazing like flames, shattering the approaching rubble one by one. His massive figure stood firm in the smoke and dust, like an unshakable statue of a god of war. Each swing of the axe unleashed a powerful gust of air, dispersing some of the dark mist and allowing everyone's vision to clear slightly.

Lin waved her hands, and the wind elements quickly gathered under her control, forming powerful wind walls. These walls surrounded everyone, blocking the impact of the rubble and the dark forces. Her long hair flew in the wind, and her eyes were focused and determined. Although fatigue was evident on her face, her strength still stubbornly resisted the invasion of darkness.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, muttering something to herself. As she chanted, a massive ice shield quickly formed above everyone's heads. The shield shimmered with a cold, blue light, reflecting back falling debris and dark energy. Her face paled slightly, but she held her wand steady, constantly infusing the shield with magical power, maintaining this crucial line of defense.

The mysterious figure quickly formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light intertwined and swirled in his palms, forming a massive energy vortex. He pushed this vortex toward the crystal ball. As it flew, the vortex continuously absorbed the surrounding free energy, sucking in the dark forces that attempted to counterattack, and then destroyed them both in a violent collision.

The man in white, his lips chapped, still gripped the flute tightly, playing a passionate note. The flute sound transformed into glittering birds, circling around the crowd, using their bodies and light to resist the encroaching forces of darkness. Before being swallowed by the darkness, each bird would burst forth with a powerful radiance, buying everyone a moment of respite.

The God of Light held high his scepter, the light emanating from its tip as dazzling as the sun. He chanted an ancient incantation, and rays of divine light emanated from the scepter, resonating with the power of the crowd. These rays of light, like silk threads, connected everyone's power, forming an indestructible network of power that resisted the destructive impact of the crystal ball's explosion.

As the crystal ball's collapse intensified, the dark castle began to shake violently. Huge cracks appeared in the castle walls, like the cracked lips of the earth, swallowing everything. Black chandeliers from the ceiling fell one after another, hitting the ground with a dull thud and sending up a shower of black sparks.

Suddenly, an even more powerful dark force surged from the wreckage of the crystal ball, coalescing into a massive black figure. The figure stood dozens of meters tall, humanoid in form, yet possessed enormous wings and sharp claws. Its body was composed of pure dark energy, its surface gleaming with strange runes. Each rune resembled a roaring demon's mouth, emanating an endless aura of evil.

"What kind of monster is this?" Ah Gang's eyes widened, a hint of shock in his voice. He gripped his battle axe tightly, his feet slightly apart, ready for battle. Although the enemy before him looked incredibly powerful, there was no fear in his eyes, only a passion for battle.

"Whatever it is, we must destroy it!" Xu Tiancai shouted, his voice clearly audible amidst the clamor. The Sword of Creation shone even brighter, and he continuously channeled his soul power into the sword, preparing to meet this new challenge.

The black figure let out an earth-shattering roar, the sound echoing like thunder in the dark castle. It flapped its massive wings, stirring up a gust of wind, streaked with black lightning, and swept towards the crowd.

Lin swiftly unleashed her advanced wind magic, gathering the surrounding wind power into a massive vortex. The vortex collided with the black lightning and raging wind, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The vortex began to warp under the powerful impact, but Lin gritted her teeth, desperately maintaining its stability, preventing the black figure's attack from breaking through her defenses.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning rows of massive ice spikes before the crowd. Like spears, they pointed toward the black figure. As the wind and lightning struck the ice spikes, they were quickly eroded by the dark force, but they also managed to weaken some of the attack's power.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged into a massive energy ball. He flung the ball toward the black figure. As it flew, it grew larger, and as it approached the black figure, it violently exploded with the dark energy it had released. The shockwave from the explosion dispersed the surrounding debris and dark mist, temporarily suppressing the black figure's attack.

The man in white played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into a swarm of gigantic light beasts. They charged at the black figure, their bodies gleaming brilliantly in the darkness. They attacked the figure with their sharp claws and teeth, colliding with the dark energy within it, sending bursts of brilliant sparks flying.

Ah Gang saw the perfect moment, roared, and charged at the black figure. His battle axe ignited with flames, golden fighting spirit entwined around it like a flame. He leaped high and slashed at the black figure's legs. The axe struck the black figure, sending up a cloud of black smoke, but the black figure merely swayed slightly, as if Ah Gang's attack had merely tickled it.

Seeing Agang's attack blocked, Xu Tiancai unleashed his soul power, flashing and appearing behind the black figure. He brandished the Sword of Creation and stabbed it in the back. The colorful light of the Sword of Creation intertwined with the dark power of the black figure, unleashing a powerful surge of energy. The black figure roared in pain, spun around, and clawed at Xu Tiancai with its massive claws.

Xu Tiancai quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the black figure's attack. He knew this enemy was stronger than any they had encountered before, and ordinary attacks would hardly cause any substantial damage to it.

"We must find its weakness!" The God of Light shouted loudly. His voice was like a beacon in the battle, guiding everyone.

Everyone dodged the black figure's attacks while searching for its weaknesses. During the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that whenever the black figure launched a powerful attack, a special light would flash from a part of its chest. That light was somewhat different from the surrounding dark power, and seemed to be hiding some key information.

"Everyone, pay attention to its chest!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Upon hearing Xu Tiancai's words, everyone immediately shifted their focus of attack to the black figure's chest. Lin cast a forbidden spell of wind magic, summoning a massive wind phoenix. The phoenix radiated a faint blue light, its feathers each like sharp blades of wind. The phoenix flew towards the black figure's chest, striking that spot with its powerful wind force.

Ah Gang swung his battle axe again, striking at the black figure's chest. This time, he unleashed his fighting spirit to its fullest, the golden flames on his battle axe becoming even more intense. His attack, combined with the Wind Phoenix's, landed simultaneously on the black figure's chest, splashing a brilliant light.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and chanted the Ice Kingdom's millennia-old ultimate ice spell. Instantly, countless massive cones of ice, as large as mountains, descended from the sky, each radiating an intense chill. They descended upon the black figure's chest, releasing a chilling aura upon impact, attempting to freeze the dark power within.

The mysterious figure rapidly formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged in his palms. He harnessed these two powers to their full potential, transforming them into a spiraling black and white energy column. He thrust the energy column toward the black figure's chest. As it flew, it continuously absorbed the surrounding free energy, growing thicker and thicker. When it, along with the other attacks, landed on the black figure's chest, it triggered a series of violent small explosions.

The white-clad figure played his flute at top speed, the sound transforming into enormous beasts of light. These beasts varied in form: a kirin ablaze with flames, a soaring dragon of light with wings spread, and a lightning-fast tiger of light. Carrying divine light, the beasts charged towards the black figure's chest, their strength countering the dark force of the black figure. The kirin's flames seared the darkness, the dragon's claws tore at it, and the tiger's speed allowed it to traverse the darkness with ease, repeatedly striking at the vital areas of the black figure's chest.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the black figure's chest began to flicker, and the dark power showed signs of disorder. The black figure seemed to sense danger, and it roared angrily and flapped its huge wings, trying to escape the attack.

"Let's try harder! We can't let it recover!" Xu Tiancai shouted, attacking the black figure's chest once more. The Sword of Creation shone like a ray of hope, piercing the core of darkness.

They also spared no effort to continue attacking the weak spot on the black figure's chest. Their attacks rained down on that spot, and each attack made the black figure tremble more violently, and the disorder of the dark power became more serious.

The black figure's counterattacks became increasingly frantic, its claws and wings constantly attacking everyone, black lightning raining down on them. While dodging the attacks, everyone persisted in attacking its weaknesses. Each of them was already covered in wounds, but their eyes were still filled with unwavering faith.

Under the constant attacks of the crowd, cracks finally appeared on the black figure's chest. These cracks spread rapidly through the dark force like a spider web. With a loud "boom," a powerful energy erupted from the black figure's chest, sending it flying backwards, its body gradually dissipating as it flew.

"We succeeded!" Lin shouted excitedly. Although she was exhausted, her eyes were shining with joy of victory.

However, before anyone could celebrate, the Dark Castle began to collapse at an even faster pace. The castle walls collapsed one after another, and huge cracks appeared in the ground. The entire castle seemed to be plunged into the end of the world.

"We have to leave here quickly!" shouted the God of Light.

Everyone flew towards the castle's exit, dodging falling rocks and various dangers along the way. During their escape, Xu Tiancai discovered that the castle's collapse didn't simply stem from the destruction of the black figure, but rather was driven by a deeper force. It was as if the entire dark castle was a giant trap, and they had just triggered the final destruction mechanism.

When they finally flew out of the dark castle, they discovered that the dark world outside was also undergoing drastic changes. The stars in the sky that had been shining with an eerie light began to go out one by one. The black liquid on the ground seemed to be boiling, emitting black bubbles, and the black rocks were constantly trembling and splitting.

"Is this world going to be destroyed?" asked the Ice Princess worriedly.

"It seems so, but we can't be trapped here." The God of Light frowned as he looked at the chaotic world around him, trying to find a way to leave.

At this moment, Xu Tiancai discovered that in the darkness in the distance, there was a faint light flickering. The light was incompatible with the surrounding darkness, as if it was the last ray of hope in the dark world.
