Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 296: Breaking the deadlock

The mysterious figure, with an overwhelming force, released a black vortex energy that seemed to be able to devour everything, and headed straight for the passage.

Li Zhao and his group felt the air around them freeze instantly, their hearts seemed to be gripped by an invisible pair of iron pliers, their breathing became rapid and heavy, as if they were standing under a mountain that was about to collapse, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.

They knew clearly in their minds that if they could not break through this desperate situation, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Li Zhao tightly grasped the purification crystal. Under the fierce threat of black energy, the light of the crystal was like a candle in a strong wind, swaying and threatening to go out at any time, but his eyes were as firm as steel, with no intention of retreating.

The mysterious old man suppressed his fatigue, and his hands seemed to be filled with tremendous strength as he tightly grasped the ancient golden staff.

The gem on the top of the staff flickered faintly, and he tried his best to use the power of the staff again to strengthen the connection between everyone and the energy node and stabilize the precarious passage.

The energy released by the mysterious figure was too powerful. The light of the staff was as small as a drop in the ocean in front of the black vortex. Every energy fluctuation emitted outward was swallowed up in an instant, leaving no trace.

The mysterious man waved the golden sword and rushed towards the black vortex like a golden lightning.

He tried to use the sharp sword energy to tear open the shackles of black energy and carve out a bloody path for everyone.

His figure shuttled through the darkness like a ghost, and the golden sword light was like a sharp blade, cutting through the night sky, and every time he swung the sword, a dazzling light burst out.

But the power of the black vortex was like a raging tsunami, ruthlessly devouring his sword energy wave after wave. His strenuous attacks, in the face of this powerful dark energy, were like an ant trying to shake a tree, and had little effect.

Although Su Mengyao was seriously injured and the blood at the corner of her mouth had not dried yet, she still gritted her teeth and held on, trying her best to gather the power of ice.

Her hands danced rapidly, trying to build an indestructible ice barrier around the passage to resist the erosion of black energy.

Her ice power was as fragile as thin paper in front of this indestructible black energy.

As soon as the ice barrier took shape, it was instantly shattered by the black vortex. Countless ice fragments floated in the air like snowflakes and disappeared in a flash.

The spirit messenger closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on operating the Eye of Samsara, trying to find the weakness in this chaotic black energy.

Her spiritual power, like an invisible thread, struggled through the darkness, trying to uncover the flaw hidden deep within the black energy. However, the chaotic energy in the black vortex, like a ferocious beast, constantly attacked her spiritual power, making her exploration difficult.

Her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, her face became paler as paper, and her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

The mysterious woman's arrows never missed their targets. The silver arrows carried a biting cold and powerful force, like shooting stars, shooting towards the black vortex one after another.

The moment the arrow touched the black energy, it was twisted and crushed by the powerful energy, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating into nothingness.

There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, but the action of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow did not stop at all. She tried every second to buy a glimmer of hope for everyone.

Li Zhao felt a warm current in his heart as he watched his companions fighting hard regardless of their lives, but his anxiety also became stronger.

His passive resistance was not a long-term solution; he had to find a breakthrough.

He held his breath, concentrated his mind again, and guided the power of the purifying crystal, attempting to achieve a deeper integration with the energy inside the black hole.

Amidst the chaotic energy fluctuations, he keenly sensed a faint resonance between the purifying crystal and some ancient power deep within the black hole. Though this resonance was as weak as a gossamer thread, it was like a beacon, illuminating the way forward for Li Zhao in this desperate predicament.

Li Zhao was excited, as he knew that this discovery might be the key to turning the situation around.

He didn't dare to delay even a moment and hurriedly shouted to everyone at the top of his voice, "Everyone, listen up! I just discovered that the purification crystals in our hands are strangely resonating with some powerful force hidden deep within the black hole! Who knows, maybe we can use this power to fight against the mysterious figure that has been threatening us!"

Everyone seemed a little exhausted due to the long battle, but after hearing Li Zhao's words, their eyes immediately became bright as if a blazing fire of hope had been ignited.

Everyone stared closely at Li Zhao and the purification crystal in his hand that was emitting a strange light, as if they saw the dawn of victory right before their eyes.

Seeing this, the mysterious old man who had been standing behind and silently supporting everyone increased the energy output of the staff in his hand without hesitation.

A dazzling golden light gushed out from the top of the staff, interweaving and merging with the light emitted by the purifying crystal, forming a colorful sea of ​​light.

The two lights continued to blend together, and the resonance between them seemed to gradually increase, and the entire space began to tremble slightly.

The mysterious man also stopped his previous blind attack without any clue.

He flashed and came to Li Zhao's side as quickly as a ghost, concentrating on protecting him.

His sharp hawk-like eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and he remained highly alert at all times to prevent the mysterious figure from suddenly attacking.

Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy were also busy. Su Mengyao formed seals with her hands quickly, muttering something, and a bone-chilling coldness continuously flowed from her body.

The cold air quickly gathered together and condensed into a thick layer of ice, covering the surrounding space, trying its best to stabilize the violent energy fluctuations caused by resonance.

The spiritual messenger closed his eyes, concentrated all his mental strength, and established a close connection with Li Zhao through telepathy.

He continuously channeled his spiritual power to Li Zhao, helping him to better perceive and guide the powerful force in the purification crystal so that it could play its due role to the greatest extent.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the resonance between the purification crystal and the ancient power deep in the black hole became stronger and stronger.

Li Zhao felt as if he was closely connected to the core of the black hole and could clearly sense the subtle flow of every bit of energy inside the black hole.

His eyes suddenly flashed with panic and solemnity, and his whole body shook violently as if he was struck by an invisible electric current.

He was shocked to realize that the black energy released by the mysterious figure, which was as thick as ink and carried a creepy aura, was not an ordinary evil force.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the black energy contained an extremely complex and dangerous fluctuation. This fluctuation was like an invisible hand, wantonly pulling and destroying a certain delicate balance inside the black hole.

Black holes are one of the most mysterious and powerful entities in the universe. The balance within them is formed naturally over a long period of time, just like a precise yet fragile ancient clock, in which the rotation of every gear is closely related.

The black energy of this mysterious figure was like a crazy destroyer, forcibly inserting itself into the clock and wantonly disrupting the gears that were originally running in an orderly manner.

If this balance were to be completely disrupted, the consequences would be disastrous. Perhaps the entire universe would be plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe, time and space would be distorted, stars would fall, and countless lives would be wiped out in this catastrophe.

The mission they are currently shouldering is like saving a sinking ship in a storm.

They must use the power of purifying crystals to restore this precarious balance.

Purification Crystal is an extremely rare treasure in the universe. It is said to be condensed from the divine power of ancient gods and has the magical power to purify all evil and chaos.

It emits a soft and sacred light, like a bright lamp in the darkness, bringing hope and courage to people.

Li Zhao's eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. He held the purification crystal tightly with both hands, continuously injecting his spiritual power into it.

He could feel that after absorbing his spiritual power, the purification crystal began to tremble slightly, as if responding to his expectations.

He gritted his teeth and pushed the power of the purification crystal to its limit.

In an instant, the crystal shone brightly. The light was no longer as soft as before, but became extremely dazzling, like a new sun suddenly rising in the darkness.

An extremely dazzling ray of light was like an indestructible sword, instantly penetrating the black vortex with unstoppable force.

Under the impact of the light, the black vortex let out painful roars, as if it were a burning demon.

The light did not stop, shooting straight into the depths of the black hole. In its path, all darkness was dispelled, and the space and time distorted by the black energy gradually returned to normal.

The light is like a messenger of justice, carrying a mission and power, rushing into the depths of the black hole without hesitation to find the destroyed balance and to save this precarious universe.

With the appearance of this light, the energy inside the black hole instantly underwent a drastic change.

The originally raging black energy gradually calmed down, and the body of the mysterious figure began to tremble violently. It seemed to have sensed that a powerful force was gradually disintegrating its energy.

Just when everyone thought that victory was in sight, the mysterious figure suddenly let out an extremely shrill roar.

Its body shrank rapidly, and then turned into a black light and shadow, rushing towards Li Zhaoxun at lightning speed.

The black light and shadow moved so fast that it caught Li Zhao off guard and instantly reached him. Li Zhao wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, the mysterious man rushed forward like a golden lightning, and used the golden sword in his hand to block the black light and shadow.

The black light and shadow collided violently with the golden sword, making a deafening noise. The powerful impact force knocked the mysterious man away. His body hit a huge piece of star debris heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Li Zhao was heartbroken, his eyes filled with flames of anger as he stared at the mysterious figure, the purifying crystal in his hand shone brightly again.

He desperately released the power of the purifying crystal without reservation, completely merging it with the ancient power inside the black hole.

In an instant, the entire black hole was shrouded in an extremely powerful light. The black light of the mysterious figure gradually dissipated in front of this light, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

The gravitational field inside the black hole finally stabilized completely, and the light in the passage became bright and steady.

Li Zhao and the others saw this and hurried towards the passage. However, when they arrived at the entrance, they were shocked to find that there seemed to be a huge unknown danger hidden inside the passage.

The passage was filled with a layer of mysterious fog, with strange lights flickering in the fog, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Li Zhao hesitated for a moment, but decided to be the first to step into the passage. As soon as he stepped into the passage, a powerful force rushed towards him like a surging tide, as if to devour him alive.

He hurriedly mobilized the power of the purification crystal, resisting this force with all his might. Under the protection of the purification crystal, he slowly moved forward step by step.

The mysterious old man, the mysterious woman, Su Mengyao, and the spirit messenger then entered the passage. They moved forward cautiously, always alert to every move around them.

The scene inside the passage gradually became clearer. They were surprised to find that there was an ancient palace hidden in the passage. The walls of the palace were engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Just as they were about to approach the palace, the palace gate slowly opened, and a powerful energy surged out from the palace, enveloping them.
