Legend of the Embroiderer

At the critical moment, Li Zhao's heart seemed to jump out of his throat, his breathing was rapid and heavy, and sweat soaked his clothes, sticking to his back.

He suddenly raised the crystal in his hand above his head. The crystal was dim at the moment, but it carried their last hope.

Li Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, let's inject the remaining power into the crystal and activate the source of light!" The voice echoed in the cave, trembling slightly, but full of determination.

Su Mengyao's originally beautiful face was now as pale as a piece of thin paper, without a trace of blood.

On her forehead, beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down, like beads that had broken off the string, one after another.

The sweat soaked her hair and clothes, but she was completely unaware.

Due to long-term overwork, her hands began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, like a candle swaying in the wind.

At this moment, Li Zhao's anxious cry came from a distance. This sound was like a thunder, exploding in Mengyao's ears.

Even though her body was exhausted to the extreme and every movement required great effort, Mengyao still clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from making any groan.

She desperately mobilized the meager spiritual power remaining in her body and struggled to gather it towards the crystal in her hand.

The spiritual messenger who had been silent all this time frowned tightly, and his eyes revealed a look of determination.

He raised the staff high in his hand, muttering something. As his incantation rang out, a mysterious and powerful force continuously gushed out from the top of the staff and quickly poured into the crystal that was shining with a strange light.

The light emitted by the crystal suddenly became extremely strong, and the dazzling light was like a scorching sun in the sky, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.

In this dazzling light, the mysterious figure that had been shrouded in fog began to gradually reveal its clear outline.

The mysterious figure nodded slightly, his lips parted, and he began to mutter something. His speech was astonishingly fast, a string of obscure syllables gushing out of his mouth at a rapid pace, like a torrential downpour.

These sounds seem to have traveled through a long tunnel of time and space, and have come from ancient times. Each note carries an indescribable mysterious rhythm, like the sound of nature but with a hint of chill.

Li Zhao, who was standing aside, had already widened his eyes, staring closely at the mysterious figure and the mysterious spells that kept coming out of his mouth.

He listened intently to those ancient and mysterious syllables, trying hard to keep up with the unique rhythm.

Because he knew very well that only in this way could he successfully guide the power of the people and establish a close connection with the source of light hidden deep in the core of the world.

A terrifying black energy column suddenly came roaring at lightning speed!

This black energy column was like a roaring black dragon, pouncing towards everyone with its fangs and claws bared.

It was surrounded by an endless aura of darkness and destruction. Wherever it passed, the originally solid and stable space was easily torn apart like fragile paper, emitting bursts of horrifying, teeth-grinding, and piercing tearing sounds.

It seemed as if the entire world was about to completely collapse and disintegrate in the face of this destructive force, heading towards an end from which there was no return.

The spirit messenger's face was as solemn as ice, her hands trembling slightly, but she waved her staff firmly, erecting a multi-layered energy shield in front of everyone.

Layers of blue light intertwined, like a mysterious light curtain in the deep sea, exuding a soft yet tenacious aura.

The impact of the black energy column was too terrifying, like a supernova explosion, carrying the power to destroy the world.

The shield began to shatter layer by layer like a candle in the wind, and each shattering was accompanied by a crisp sound, as if it was the countdown bell of fate.

"Hold on! We're almost there!"

The veins on Li Zhao's forehead bulged like winding little snakes, and sweat mixed with blood slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground under his feet.

His gaze was fixed on the crystal and the core of the world, his eyes bloodshot, trying to catch that vague connection, which was their only ray of hope in the darkness.

Just as the energy shield was about to break, the crystal light resonated with the faint light flickering deep in the core of the world.

The resonance was like a faint heartbeat at first, almost imperceptible, but it became stronger in an instant.

Li Zhao was delighted, and that joy was like a bonfire burning in the darkness, dispelling some despair. He shouted: "Found it! Follow this resonance and guide the power of light!" Upon hearing this, everyone forced themselves to cheer up and concentrate. Following Li Zhao's guidance, they injected their power into the core of the world along the direction of resonance.

Instantly, a warm and powerful force of light surged from the core of the world, like a newborn sun, its rays rapidly dispelling the darkness. This force of light carried a sacred aura, warm and gentle, as if it were the world's original pure power.

The guardian of the dark will let out an angry roar, which was deafening and filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

It twisted its body madly, like an enraged ancient beast, controlling its black tentacles to whip wildly, trying to cut off the power of light.

The tentacles were like black lightning, drawing arcs in the air and causing bursts of whistling.

Su Mengyao tried to hold on to her tired body, her legs trembling slightly and she could barely stand.

She formed seals with her hands, and every movement seemed extremely difficult, yet full of determination.

She summoned countless ice blades, which sparkled with colorful light under the reflection of the power of light, like dreamy ice crystals.

The ice blade shot out like a torrential rain, cutting off the approaching tentacles one after another. Every time a tentacle was cut off, black mist splashed out, as if it was dark blood.

The Crown Princess gathered the last of her fire power into a giant fire phoenix.

The fire phoenix was burning with golden flames all over its body, shining brightly. It let out a long cry that resounded throughout the entire cave and pounced towards the guardian of the dark will.

Under the dual attack of light and fire, the guardian's tentacles began to retreat step by step, and the black mist continued to dissipate, revealing its hideous outline.

The spiritual messenger also used all her strength, her forehead was covered with sweat and her face was pale.

The gem on the top of the staff shone brightly, and mysterious runes flew out from the staff. The runes flashed with strange light, carrying ancient power, blending into the power of light, enhancing the power of light.

Runes and the power of light are intertwined to form a wonderful pattern, as if it is the most mysterious code in the universe.

Seeing this, the Guardian of Dark Will suddenly abandoned his tentacles and turned into a thick black mist. Like a black torrent, it rushed towards the core of the world, attempting to merge with the source of darkness again and gain more powerful power.

It was moving at an extremely fast speed, and wherever it went, the air was compressed into black vortexes.

How could Li Zhao let it succeed? He controlled the power of light and formed a solid barrier in front of the core of the world.

The barrier of light emits a soft yet firm light, like a sacred barrier protecting the world.

The dark mist hit the barrier, making muffled sounds and splashing countless black sparks, as if it was a violent collision between darkness and light.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but the strength of Li Zhao and others was rapidly depleted. Fatigue came like a tide, and their bodies and minds had reached their limits.

At this moment, Su Mengyao, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up. There was still a hint of confusion in her eyes, but as she watched the fierce battle, her consciousness instantly cleared.

She clenched her teeth so hard that her lips bled, and regardless of her physical weakness, she gathered her spiritual power once again.

The fusion of her ice-blue spiritual power and the power of light produced miraculous changes. The power of light became more resilient and the barrier became more stable.

The ice-blue spiritual power is like a flexible silk thread, wrapping around the power of light and making it denser.

The guardian of the dark will seemed to sense the crisis, and suddenly countless tiny black needles shot out from its mist, shooting towards everyone like a rainstorm.

The needles flashed with a cold light, carrying the breath of death.

Li Zhao and others tried to resist in a hurry, but there were too many needles to defend against.

In order to protect everyone, the spiritual messenger used his staff to block most of the needles, but was also pierced in the shoulder by a needle.

The blood dyed her light blue robe red, like a blooming blood flower, shocking to the eye.

"Spirit Envoy!" Li Zhao and the others exclaimed. The Spirit Envoy, with a pale face, simply shook his head and said weakly, "Don't worry about me. Concentrate on sealing it!"

Everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled, their eyes revealed determination and resoluteness, and they increased their power output.

Just when the power of light was about to completely suppress the guardian of the dark will, the core of the world suddenly shook violently, and a dark force even more terrifying than before erupted from the depths of the core.

This dark force carries an ancient and evil aura, as if it is a dark curse from the beginning of the universe.

It instantly suppressed the power of light, and the power of light was like the sun covered by dark clouds, its light quickly dimming.

The Guardian of Dark Will took the opportunity to break free from its restraints. Its body grew even larger, surrounded by black lightning, and it let out a deafening roar: "Your struggle is meaningless. This world will be plunged into darkness forever!"

Black lightning flashed continuously, illuminating the entire cave and reflecting the desperate faces of everyone.

Li Zhao and others watched this scene in horror. Their strength was almost exhausted and their bodies were crumbling, while the power of darkness became stronger and stronger.

Is everything coming to an end? Just when everyone was in despair, the crystal in Li Zhao's hand suddenly emitted a strange wave, and the light gradually converged and merged into Li Zhao's body.

Li Zhao only felt a mysterious power surging in his body, and some ancient memories and mysterious runes emerged in his mind.

Those memories flashed through his mind like broken puzzle pieces, and the runes flashed with mysterious light, as if telling the ultimate secret of the universe.

Li Zhao suddenly looked up, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes: "There is still hope! This crystal hides the last trace of power, the key to the ancient seal. Let's try to seal it together again!"

Everyone looked at Li Zhao's determined eyes, and the last glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

But can this last force successfully seal the guardian of the dark will?
