Legend of the Embroiderer

Li Zhao had just stood up from the ground and had not yet recovered when the crystal ball began to vibrate more violently, and the entire cave began to tremble.

The strange crystals on the top of the cave collided with each other, making a crisp and heart-pounding sound, like the bell of doomsday.

The runes on the four walls of the cave shone brightly, but they were no longer as orderly as before. The flickering light revealed chaos and anxiety.

"Oh no! This crystal ball has triggered a chain reaction of energy within the ruins!"

The old man shouted anxiously, his voice sounding a little weak amid the roar of the cave.

Li Zhao tightly grasped the purification crystal, trying to use its power to stabilize the chaotic energy around him, but with little success.

The runes around the crystal ball suddenly broke away from the sphere and spun rapidly in the air, forming a huge rune vortex. A powerful suction force emanated from it, drawing the surrounding air into it.

Li Zhao and the old man had to resist the suction with all their strength, their bodies swaying in the strong wind.

"Senior, we have to find a way to stabilize the crystal ball, otherwise the entire ruins may collapse!"

Li Zhao said loudly, his eyes showing determination.

The old man nodded and handed the jade pendant to Li Zhao. "Try to fuse the jade pendant with the crystal ball. Perhaps it can calm this turmoil."

Li Zhao took the jade pendant and once again connected the power of the purification crystal, jade pendant and crystal ball.

The moment the three forces converged, a soft yet powerful light bloomed, trying to resist the suction of the rune vortex.

The power of the vortex was too strong. Although the light temporarily stabilized the situation, it could only barely maintain it.

Li Zhao's forehead was covered with sweat, and his arms were shaking slightly due to the exertion. He tried his best to inject strength into them continuously.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, revealing endless anger and unwillingness.

A huge black claw stretched out from the darkness and grabbed directly at the rune vortex.

Li Zhao took a closer look and found that it was the same species of dark monster that he had defeated before, but this monster was larger in size and emitted a stronger dark aura.

"How could there be another one!"

Li Zhao was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful dark creature lurking deep in the ruins.

The dark monster's claws touched the rune vortex, and the runes instantly burst out with strong light, burning the monster's claws. The monster roared in pain, but did not retreat. Instead, it attacked the rune vortex even more frantically.

"It seems to be preventing us from stabilizing the crystal ball!"

The old man shouted, "Could it be that it, like the leader of the men in black, wants to use the power of the crystal ball to release the power of the dark star?"

Li Zhao's heart trembled, and he realized that the situation had become more complicated.

To stabilize the crystal ball and prevent the ruins from collapsing,

He also had to fight against this powerful dark monster. Li Zhao gritted his teeth and decided to focus on solving the threat of the monster first.

He condensed the purifying light into a giant lightsaber and slashed at the monster's claws.

The purifying light collided with the dark power of the monster, emitting dazzling light and violent explosions. The monster's claws were cut, and it angrily retracted its claws and turned to attack Li Zhaohe and the old man with black flames spewing from its mouth.

Li Zhao quickly held up the shield of purifying light to block the attack of black flames.

The black flames continuously hit the shield, making a crackling sound, and the light on the shield was constantly flickering, and it could break at any time.

Li Zhao felt that his strength was being consumed rapidly. He looked at the old man and saw that the old man was also pale. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy in resisting the suction of the rune vortex and the attack of the black flames.

"Li Zhao, we can't continue to be in a stalemate like this. We have to find a way to defeat it in one fell swoop!" said the old man.

Li Zhao nodded, closed his eyes again, and deeply sensed the power of the purifying crystal.

Deep within the purifying crystal, that ancient power seemed to guide him, allowing him to discover a deeper connection between the crystal ball and the purifying crystal.

He discovered that the crystal ball not only contained the method to seal the dark star, but its own power could also be transformed into the purification crystal.

Li Zhao's heart stirred, and he decided to take a risk. He channeled all the power of the crystal ball into the purification crystal. The purification crystal instantly glowed brightly, and an extremely powerful purifying force surged from it.

Li Zhao waved the purification crystal, and a huge torrent of purifying light swept towards the dark monster.

The dark beast tried to resist, but in the face of this powerful purifying force, its dark power quickly dissipated like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

The monster let out a desperate roar, its body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared in the purifying light.

After defeating the dark monster, Li Zhao didn't have time to rest and immediately turned his attention back to the crystal ball.

The suction of the rune vortex became stronger and stronger, the vibration of the cave became more and more violent, and rocks began to fall from the top of the cave.

Li Zhao concentrated his mind and used the fusion power of the purification crystal, jade pendant and crystal ball to slowly approach the center of the rune vortex.

As he approached, he felt a strong repulsive force, but with his tenacious will and firm belief, he moved forward step by step.

He attached the purification crystal to the crystal ball, and the light of the jade pendant was also integrated into it.

In an instant, the power of the rune vortex began to weaken, and the chaotic energy around it gradually stabilized.

The shaking of the cave slowly stopped, the rocks on the top of the cave stopped falling, and everything returned to calm.

Li Zhao let out a long sigh and slumped down on the ground, still tightly holding the purification crystal, crystal ball and jade pendant in his hands.

The old man walked up to him with a pleased smile on his face, "Son, you did it."

Li Zhao looked at the three treasures in his hands, his heart filled with emotion.

When he looked at the crystal ball carefully, he found that something seemed to be flickering inside the crystal ball.

He brought the crystal ball close to his eyes, and through the light of the crystal ball, he saw a blurry picture.

In the picture, a mysterious figure stands in the darkness, holding a star emitting dark light in his hand, and behind this figure is a scene of countless lives being devastated.

Li Zhao was shocked. Before he could see the face of the mysterious figure clearly, the crystal ball suddenly vibrated slightly again and the picture disappeared.

Li Zhao told the old man what he saw. The old man's face became very solemn. "It seems that the dark forces we are facing are far more complicated than we imagined. This may just be the beginning."

Suddenly, a melodious bell sounded in the cave. The sound was ethereal and mysterious, as if it came from the distant sky.

As the bell rang, the crystal ball, purification crystal and jade pendant began to emit light. The three lights intertwined with each other to form a strange pattern.

The pattern flashed a few times in the air and then slowly disappeared.

Li Zhao and the old man looked at each other, and they both saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
