Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Evil Force vs. Dawn

Darkness, endless darkness.

The cold tentacles wrapped around me tightly, as if to crush me.

Intense pain emanated from every inch of my body, as if countless needles were piercing my bone marrow.

I felt my consciousness being devoured bit by bit, and that cold voice echoed in my ears: "Give up... You can't escape..."

Do not!

I will never give up!

I am Wei Yao, and I will not surrender to any evil forces!

I gritted my teeth and mobilized all the strength in my body. Golden light burst out from me, fighting against the black tentacles that were wrapped around me.

The power of the system was fully activated at this moment, and a warm current surged throughout my body, repairing my damaged body and consciousness.

"Ah—" I roared, and the golden light became more dazzling, tearing cracks in the surrounding darkness.

A ray of light came in, like a fire of hope ignited in despair.

I felt the force binding me weakening, and the black tentacles began to tremble and let out a shrill roar.

I pressed on with my victory, incorporating my newfound, water-like strength into it.

This force has the property of purifying everything, piercing the heart of darkness like a sharp sword.

The black tentacles retreated step by step under my attack and let out painful howls.

The surrounding darkness began to collapse, and more light poured in, illuminating this hellish space.

"You...actually..." The cold voice sounded again, full of shock and fear.

I sneered: "This has just begun!" Golden light gathered in my hand, forming a shining sword.

I raised my sword high, aimed it at the center of the darkness, and slashed down fiercely...

"No..." A desperate roar came from the darkness, and then everything fell silent...

"Is it over?" An old voice suddenly sounded.

I turned around suddenly and saw a mysterious old man in a gray robe standing not far away, gazing at me with deep eyes...

The golden light faded and smoke and dust filled the air.

I gasped, and the long sword made of light in my hand dissipated.

The darkness around did not completely fade away. Instead, it rolled and surged like a wounded beast, making a low roar.

It seemed unwilling to accept defeat, and transformed into a hideous form, trying to devour me again.

The huge demon pounced at me with its fangs bared. I dodged to the side and a blade of light condensed in my hand, splitting the demon in two.

Before I could catch my breath, countless poisonous snakes rushed out from the darkness, hissing and spitting out their tongues.

I sneered, flicked my fingertips, and golden light shot out, turning the poisonous snakes into ashes one by one.

This endless attack made me realize that simply eliminating these illusions would not solve the fundamental problem.

I have to find its weakness!

While dodging and attacking again and again, I noticed that no matter how the darkness changed, there was always a ball of dense black energy in the center, beating like a heart.

Could that be its core—the source of darkness?

I had an idea in my mind and stopped entangled with these illusions. Instead, I concentrated all my strength, transformed into a golden light, and rushed straight to the source of darkness.

Just as I was about to touch it, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, trying to swallow me in.

I was prepared. The power of the system formed a thin golden shield around me to resist this terrible suction.

I gritted my teeth and rushed forward with all my might, finally breaking through the suction barrier and touching the source of darkness.

A bone-chilling energy instantly spread throughout my body, and I felt my strength being rapidly drained away.

It turns out that destroying the source of darkness requires a price, and it requires sacrificing a part of my own power.

I hesitated for a moment, and the image of Hao Yang's anxious face and Elder Lin's determined eyes emerged in my mind.

For them, and for the safety of the entire space rift, I have no choice.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and poured all the strength in my body into the source of darkness without reservation.

After a violent tremor, the source of darkness let out a shrill scream, then completely collapsed, turning into starlight and dissipating in the air.

The darkness around also faded away, and light came again.

I stumbled out of the Balance Core, my body weak and my vision blurry.

I heard someone calling my name, it was Hao Yang's voice!

I tried to open my eyes and saw him running towards me anxiously...

"Yao'er..."
