The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The mutated remnant of the demon god resembled a demonic mountain condensed from pure darkness, its bulk so vast it seemed to pierce the very firmament of this alien dimension. Endless evil and destructive aura seeped from every inch of its flesh, spreading through the air like ink, stained the surrounding space in a pitch-black, silent darkness. Its eyes, once pea-sized crimson, now swelled into two massive balls of blood-red flame, throbbing furiously, like two infernal demons from the depths of hell, intent on burning everything in the world to ash.

The demon god's remnant roared to the heavens, its roar like a surging black tsunami, sweeping across space with devastating force. Instantly, countless ghostly figures gushed forth from its body like a tidal wave, shrouded in a thick aura of darkness. They lunged at the crowd with bared fangs and claws. Wherever they passed, space was like fragile paper, easily ripped apart with hideous black cracks, like the bloody maw of a dark abyss gaping open, ready to devour everything.

Xu Tiancai's heart was filled with alarm. He knew this was a life-or-death situation, and he dared not slack off. He took a deep breath and fully mobilized the immense energy within him, a fusion of stellar power and mystical power. The Star Sword in his hand sensed his master's resolve and vibrated. The ancient runes engraved on the blade flashed with dazzling light, like a spirit awakened. That light was like a sacred blade of light, attempting to pierce the darkness that seemed like eternal night. "Everyone must remain calm, hold your formation, and work together to fight these demonic shadows!" Xu Tiancai's voice resounded like a bell, firm and powerful, like a shining beacon in the darkness, guiding everyone and bringing a glimmer of hope.

Agang's eyes widened, his teeth clenched, his muscles tensed like cast iron. The eternal Dou Qi within him surged and roared through his meridians like an enraged, peerless beast, threatening to burst forth. He gripped his battle axe tightly in both hands, raised it high, and swung it down fiercely. Each swing unleashed a golden storm of Dou Qi, like golden meteors, that hurled itself at the oncoming demonic figures, engaging them in a thrilling, ferocious clash. "Come on, you ugly creatures! I will rip you all to pieces!" Agang roared furiously, his eyes devoid of any fear, only an unending, unceasing fighting spirit burning like a raging fire. The battle axe clashed with the demonic figure, sending up a shower of black sparks. Though the demonic figure was temporarily dispersed by the Dou Qi storm, it instantly regrouped and continued its surge towards Agang like a leech clinging to its bones.

Concentrating on controlling the wind element, Lin swiftly constructed a rapidly rotating barrier of wind around them. This barrier resembled a transparent crystal shield, emitting a mysterious, dark blue glow. Within it, countless razor-sharp wind blades, like deadly weapons hidden in the darkness, whizzed and whistled, slicing through the approaching demonic figures, shredding them into black fragments that drifted down like black snowflakes. However, the demonic figures were so numerous, like a swarm of crucian carp swimming across a river. Under the relentless onslaught of the demonic figures, cracks gradually appeared in the barrier. Like a shattered spider web, the cracks spread rapidly, teetering on the verge of collapse. "I must not let this defense be breached. I must hold on!" Lin's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, glistening like pearls in the dark blue light. Her eyes were focused and determined, and she waved the staff in her hand faster and faster, like a whirlwind, constantly injecting new power into the wind wall, trying to repair the ever-widening crack.

The Ice Princess stood gracefully beside Xu Tiancai. A massive ice-blue crystal ball quickly formed from the tip of her ice wand. Runes shimmered within the crystal ball, and a chilling aura surged out like a surging tide. Wherever it passed, the surrounding air instantly froze into a white frost, as if time had stood still in the bitter cold. She waved her wand, and the ice ball instantly transformed into a massive ice dragon, charging towards the group of demonic figures with bared fangs and claws. From its mouth, the ice dragon spewed out streams of icy cold. Wherever the icy streams passed, the demonic figures were instantly frozen, then shattered into icy shards with a resounding sound. But the demonic spirit, seemingly sensing the ice dragon's immense threat, snorted coldly and extended a massive black hand, like a demonic claw from the dark abyss, clutching at the ice dragon fiercely. The ice dragon struggled briefly before the demonic spirit's overwhelming force, uttering a mournful roar and being crushed into countless fragments, dissipating into the air.

Su Yao sat upright in the back, her fingers dancing swiftly across the strings of the guqin, like nimble spirits leaping and playing upon them. The lingering sound of the guqin transformed into invisible sonic shields that enveloped the group. Like ripples on the surface of water, the sonic shields continuously expanded outward, shielding the frenzied attacks of the demonic shadows. Simultaneously, the healing power imbued by the guqin's music trickled down, quietly nourishing the wounded bodies and weary souls of the group, allowing them to barely persevere through the intense battle. However, as the demonic shadows' attacks intensified, the shields began to flicker, their light flickering, like a candle in the wind, threatened to go out at any moment.

As everyone fought tooth and nail against the demonic shadow, Xu Tiancai remained calm and focused. The power of his stars blended with the mysterious force emanating from the depths of his soul, sharpening his perception, as if he could discern the subtlest details of everything in the world. Suddenly, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He noticed that when the demon god's remnant directed the demonic shadow to attack, a faint energy fluctuation would quietly appear from its head. Though minute, like a drop in the ocean, it was like a ray of light in the endless darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

"I found its vital point! There is an energy fluctuation on its head, which is its fatal flaw!" Xu Tiancai shouted excitedly, his voice full of surprise and excitement. The sound was like a spring thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts and dispelling some of the haze.

Everyone's spirits lifted when they heard this. They knew this might be their only chance to turn the tide of the war, and they had to seize it firmly, otherwise they would be doomed.

Upon hearing Xu Tiancai's words, Ah Gang immediately increased the force of his axe attack. He unleashed a suite of incredibly powerful axe techniques, pouring his full strength and determination into each move. The axe traced golden arcs through the air, slamming down upon the horde of demonic figures like dazzling meteors. The aura was like that of a god descending from heaven, temporarily pinning the horde to its knees, creating the perfect opportunity for Xu Tiancai to strike.

Lin understood, manipulating the wind element to form a powerful current around Xu Tiancai. Like a pair of invisible hands, it propelled him like an arrow from a bow towards the remnant of the demon god. Simultaneously, the wind element also formed a series of disruptive whirlwinds around the remnant of the demon god, making it difficult for it to detect Xu Tiancai's movements, as if covering him with an invisible cloak.

The Ice Princess didn't dare delay even a moment. She compressed her ice magic to its limit, condensing it into a tiny ice cone that contained terrifying energy. With a light step, she handed the ice cone to Xu Tiancai. "Genius, use this ice cone to give it a fatal blow!"

Xu Tiancai took the ice cone and skillfully integrated it with the Star Sword. Instantly, the light from the Star Sword suddenly became even more dazzling, and the ice cone's cold aura blended with the power of the stars, forming an incomparably powerful force of ice and fire, a force that seemed to be able to create the world and destroy it.

Xu Tiancai, harnessing the powerful thrust of the wind element, pierced the dark sky like a bolt of lightning, instantly charging towards the remnant of the Demon God. As he approached, the Demon God's remnant seemed to sense the approaching danger. It roared angrily, attempting to command its demonic shadow to block Xu Tiancai's fatal attack. However, Agang, Lin, and the Ice Princess fought desperately against the demonic shadow, buying Xu Tiancai a precious moment.

Xu Tiancai leaped high, his figure nimble as a soaring eagle. The Star Sword, brimming with powerful energies of ice and fire, fiercely stabbed at the energy fluctuations in the Demon God's remnant's head. "Star Shattering, Judgment of Ice and Fire!" He roared, his voice resounding through the heavens, shaking the very air. With unwavering momentum, the Star Sword, like a peerless divine weapon, pierced the Demon God's vitals with pinpoint accuracy.

The demon's remnant roared in agony, a sound like the wail of a demon from the Nine Netherworlds. Its head was struck by the Star Sword, and black blood gushed out like a fountain, a black torrent that stained the surrounding space in pitch black. Its body began to tremble violently, as if a powerful earthquake had occurred. The demonic shadows around it instantly became chaotic and disordered, scurrying around like headless flies.

Seeing their attack was effective, everyone was overjoyed. Without hesitation, they increased their attack, hoping to take this opportunity to completely destroy the remaining demon and end this endless nightmare.

However, the demon's remnant was, after all, the remnant of an ancient demon god, its power beyond imagination. After a brief moment of confusion, it quickly recovered from the excruciating pain and launched a frantic counterattack. It swung its immense arm, a black pillar of heaven capable of sweeping away a thousand enemies, sweeping towards them. Wherever its arm passed, space was completely torn apart, forming dark vortexes, like gaping maws ready to devour anyone, emitting a chilling aura.

Unable to dodge, everyone was struck by the demon's powerful attack. Agang was flung outward like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the distant wall, instantly leaving a huge dent. Agang spitted blood, his face as pale as paper, and he was barely breathing. Lin's wind barrier was completely destroyed, and she was also injured by the powerful force. She fell to the ground, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and a hint of unwillingness in her eyes. The Ice Princess and Su Yao were also not spared, suffering varying degrees of damage. The Ice Princess's ice wand shattered, turning into countless ice shards that scattered across the ground. Su Yao's guqin also cracked, and the sound of the zither abruptly stopped, like an unfinished tragic song.

Although Xu Tiancai managed to dodge the demon god's fatal blow with his agility, he was also seriously injured. The light on his Star Sword dimmed, as if it had lost its former vitality. The strength in his body was like a dried-up river, completely depleted. His body was shaky, as if a breeze could blow him down.

"Are we really going to fail at the last moment?" Xu Tiancai looked at the remnant of the demon god, his heart filled with unwillingness and despair. His eyes were like the night sky without stars, dead silent.

Just as everyone was in dire straits, a mysterious light suddenly appeared, like a dazzling star, piercing the darkness from the distant horizon and hurtling towards them. Wherever the light passed, the darkness quickly dissipated like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, and the turbulence in space gradually subsided, as if the God of Light had descended upon the world, bringing peace and tranquility.

The remnant of the demon god seemed to feel the powerful threat of the light. It turned around and let out an earth-shaking roar in the direction of the light. The sound was like a devil's curse, full of anger and unwillingness.

As the light gradually drew closer, everyone finally saw a mysterious old man in a white robe. His face was kind, his eyes deep as the abyss, as if imbued with boundless wisdom and power. He exuded a powerful and peaceful aura, like an ancient deity, inspiring awe and reverence.

"Children, don't be afraid. I am here to lend you a hand." The mysterious old man's voice echoed in the space like a huge bell. Every word seemed to contain a mysterious power, making people feel safe and comforted.

The mysterious old man swung his staff, and a massive white shield of light descended upon the crowd like an impenetrable fortress. The shield radiated a gentle light, tightly shielding everyone within. The demon's remnant's attack struck the shield, creating only a faint ripple before being easily repelled, like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating its own strength.

"Thank you very much for your help, senior!" Xu Tiancai said with tears of gratitude. His eyes were full of confusion and curiosity. He didn't understand who this mysterious old man was and why he suddenly appeared here at this critical moment.

The mysterious old man smiled faintly, a smile as warm and kind as a spring breeze. "I admire your courage and determination. This demon's remnant must not be allowed to harm the world again. Today, I will join hands with you to completely eliminate it."

With that, the mysterious old man joined forces with the others and launched a final assault on the remnant of the demon god. Unleashing immensely powerful magic, he sent streaks of white light emanating from his staff like divine blades, piercing the remnant of the demon god. Xu Tiancai and the others also gathered their strength, pooling their remaining strength and coordinating with the mysterious old man to form a powerful combined force.

Under the concerted fierce attack of everyone, the remnant of the demon finally let out a desperate wail in the face of this overwhelming force, and then completely dissipated, turning into a cloud of black dust, drifting away with the wind, and disappearing into the air, as if it had never appeared.

As the demon's remnants vanished into thin air, the turbulence in space gradually ceased. As if awakening from a nightmare, the alien space's darkness receded like a tide, revealing its original azure blue. Sunlight streamed down, dispelling all the gloom.

Everyone looked at the mysterious old man, their hearts filled with gratitude and respect. "Senior, who are you? Why are you here?" Xu Tiancai asked respectfully, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The mysterious old man raised his head slightly, gazing at the distant sky, and spoke slowly, "I am a descendant of the ancient guardian of this continent. I have spent my life searching for someone who can reseal the evil power of this alien dimension. Your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope. Now that the evil power has been sealed, it is time for you to return to your own world."

With that, the mysterious old man waved his staff, opening a portal to the outside world. The portal emanated a soft light, like a passage to hope and the future, filled with infinite temptation.

They exchanged glances, then resolutely headed for the portal. They knew that while this thrilling adventure had finally come to an end, their mission, like a towering mountain, still loomed ahead, waiting to be climbed. Armed with the strength and valuable experience gained in this alien dimension, they would return to the Alliance camp and continue their tireless efforts to safeguard world peace and light, forging ahead courageously.

When they returned to the Alliance camp through the portal, they were pleasantly surprised by what they saw. It turned out that during their absence, the other Alliance members had not wasted their time. They had worked together to repair the camp and, through diligent training, had improved their strength. The camp was now completely renewed and full of vitality.

The return of Xu Tiancai and his companions made everyone in the alliance camp cheer and spread the news. They knew that Xu Tiancai and his companions must have gone through countless hardships and dangers to return safely. This tenacity and courage was worthy of everyone's admiration and learning.

In the days that followed, Xu Tiancai and his companions unreservedly shared with the other members of the alliance what they had seen and heard in the alien dimension, as well as the power and knowledge they had gained. Through their joint efforts, the alliance's strength was further enhanced and strengthened, and everyone's belief in safeguarding world peace and light became even stronger, like a seed taking root in their hearts, sprouting and growing vigorously.

However, Xu Tiancai knew that this was only the beginning, like the light before dawn, bringing hope, but the darkness had not yet completely dissipated. The Dark Pope still secretly watched the world, his schemes and tricks like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, ready to leap out at any moment and launch a fatal blow. In the days to come, they would undoubtedly face more challenges and difficulties, like surging waves, one after another. But Xu Tiancai firmly believed that as long as the alliance members were united as one, as strong as steel, nothing could stop them. They would use their own strength and wisdom to write their own glorious legend and protect the peace and light of this continent forever.
