Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 347 Clash in Desperate Circumstances

Standing in the space-time tunnel, facing the surging dark power, Li Zhao and the others showed no sign of retreat.

Li Zhao gripped the Yin-Yang Sphere fragment that had absorbed the energy of the Heart of the Volcano tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, and shouted loudly:

"No matter what kind of dark forces you are, you won't stop us today!"

The dark forces, like a giant black wave, instantly surrounded them.

Li Zhao launched the first attack, unleashing the full power of the Yin-Yang Orb fragments. A dazzling light shot from his hand, like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the dark power.

Wherever the light touched, the dark power emitted a sizzling sound, as if it were being burned.

The dark power was so strong that the light only caused it to pause slightly before surging forward again.

Lingyue was not to be outdone; she concentrated and unleashed her unique abilities.

She moved her hands, and strange energy ripples spread through the surrounding space. These ripples, like waves, surged towards the dark power.

The ripples affected the actions of the dark forces, causing them to slow down significantly.

But the dark forces quickly adapted to the interference, letting out a low roar and intensifying their attack.

In the future, Li Zhao unleashed powerful close-combat abilities, his figure as swift as lightning as he charged directly into the core area of ​​the dark forces.

His fists carried a powerful impact, each swing shattering a patch of dark energy.

But the dark forces, like an invisible fog, constantly entangled him, trying to restrict his movements.

In the future, Li Zhao struggles desperately, but feels his power gradually being consumed in the entanglement with the dark forces.

The mysterious voice rang out again, filled with mockery: "You think you can fight me like this? It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Your efforts are all in vain, today is your doom!"

Hearing this voice, Li Zhao felt a surge of anger: "Don't be too smug, we won't be defeated so easily!"

As he spoke, he further fused the energy of the Heart of the Volcano with the power of the Yin-Yang Orb fragments, attempting to find the weakness of the dark forces.

During the fierce battle, Li Zhao discovered that the dark forces seemed to have an instinctive resistance to the power of light and heat.

He immediately told Lingyue and the future Li Zhao about this discovery, and the three of them decided to change their tactics.

Li Zhao adjusted the light of the Yin-Yang Sphere fragment to its most intense state, the light also containing the unique purple flame power of the Heart of the Volcano.

Lingyue then created an energy field filled with light and heat around the three of them, strengthening their defenses and interfering with the attacks of the dark forces.

In the future, Li Zhao takes advantage of the opportunity when the dark power is interfered with by the light and energy field to launch powerful attacks continuously.

With the close cooperation of the three, the offensive of the dark forces was finally temporarily suppressed.

But the dark forces did not give up. They began to condense black energy balls, which emitted a chilling aura and hurtled towards Li Zhao and his companions.

Li Zhao shouted, "Get out of the way!" Everyone scattered in all directions. The energy ball crashed to the ground, triggering a series of explosions. The spacetime tunnel shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Looking at the ever-surging dark power and those incredibly powerful energy spheres, Li Zhao knew that if this continued, they would eventually run out of power.

He suddenly had an adventurous plan, and he shouted to Lingyue and the future Li Zhao:

"Let's concentrate our power on the Yin-Yang Orb fragments, and then use the fragments' power to open a new passage, bypassing this dark force!"

Although Lingyue and the future Li Zhao felt that the plan was full of risks, they had no better choice at the moment and could only nod in agreement.

The three poured all their power into the Yin-Yang Sphere fragment, causing it to shine brightly, almost illuminating the entire spacetime tunnel.

Li Zhao gritted his teeth and pushed the fragment forward with all his might, tearing a gap in the dark power with a dazzling light.

Li Zhao shouted, "Quick, rush through here!" Without hesitation, they rushed towards the gap.

The dark forces wouldn't let them off so easily. Just as they were about to pass through the gap, the dark forces suddenly contracted, attempting to close the gap again.

Li Zhao felt an immense pressure coming from all directions. His body felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Lingyue and the future Li Zhao also face the same dilemma, their power rapidly dissipating under this immense pressure.

"Hold on! We can't give up!"

Li Zhao shouted loudly, using his last bit of strength to unleash the full power of the Yin-Yang Sphere fragments.

At this critical moment, the mysterious voice rang out again, but this time it carried a hint of surprise:

"I didn't expect you to have such methods. But do you think you can escape like this?"

The words, filled with disdain and mockery, seemed to enrage the dark forces, who intensified their pressure once more.

The already narrow gap, which made it hard to breathe, became even smaller, as if it would swallow Li Zhao and the others up completely at any moment.

A deep despair welled up in Li Zhao and the others; they had never imagined they would struggle in such a desperate situation.

Just when they were about to give up hope, a mysterious light suddenly shot out from the depths of the spacetime tunnel.

This light, like the first rays of dawn, carried a warm and powerful force, forming a stark contrast to the endless darkness.

Wherever the light reached, the dark forces dissipated like morning mist dispersed by the sunlight.

The force that had been pressing down on them vanished without a trace in an instant.

Li Zhao and the others stared wide-eyed at the light, completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

They couldn't understand who would suddenly lend a helping hand and help them out of their predicament at such a critical moment.

The light gradually converged, forming a figure.

Upon closer inspection, Li Zhao discovered that it was an elderly man dressed in a white robe.

The old man had a kind face, but his eyes revealed a profound wisdom.

He looked at Li Zhao and the others and nodded slightly: "Your courage and perseverance are admirable. I have been following your actions."

This dark force is far too powerful for you to contend with right now. I will help you get rid of it.

Li Zhao said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, senior. May I ask who you are and why you helped us?"

The old man's lips curled into a kind smile as he spoke softly:

"I am one of the guardians of time and space, bearing the heavy responsibility of maintaining the balance between different timelines. However, the leader of the men in black and the mysterious dark power behind him are like a violent storm, fiercely impacting this already fragile balance. How can I turn a blind eye to this?"

His gaze slowly swept over the crowd, as if he could see into the thoughts in everyone's heart.

The old man continued, “I have witnessed all the arduous efforts you have made to repair the spacetime core. Your courage and determination deeply impress me. Therefore, I have decided to lend a helping hand.”

Before he finished speaking, the old man waved his arm lightly, and as if by magic, instantly opened up a stable passage in that time-space tunnel.

This passage is like a bright ribbon of light, piercing through the mists of time and space, stretching straight into the distance.

“Follow this passage and you will reach the castle where the core of time and space is located.”

The old man pointed to the passageway and earnestly gave his advice:

"However, you must not let your guard down. The repair of the spacetime core is by no means easy, and that dark force will not give up easily. What awaits you ahead may be many difficulties and challenges. Therefore, you must be fully prepared to deal with all kinds of crises that may arise."

Li Zhao and the others quickly thanked him and then left through the passage.

When they returned to the castle, they found that the dark fog around it had thickened, and the light of the spacetime core had become increasingly faint, almost extinguished.

In the hazy light and shadow, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

His steps seemed hurried, as if something urgent was urging him on.

When he saw us, a look of relief appeared on his face, but at the same time, a deep sense of anxiety was also revealed.

He hurried forward, his voice tinged with urgency, and said:

"You're finally back! The situation is getting worse and worse. The spacetime core is in an extremely unstable state and could collapse at any moment. And that dark force is constantly accumulating energy, seemingly brewing an even more ferocious attack."

His words struck us like a hammer blow, sending a chill down our spines.

The already tense atmosphere became even more so, as if the whole world was shrouded in a thick layer of gloom.

Li Zhao looked at the core of spacetime, his eyes revealing determination: "We've obtained the energy of the Heart of the Volcano, which may come in handy."

He immediately walked to the core of spacetime, preparing to inject the energy of the heart of the volcano into it.

The moment he injected the energy, the spacetime core suddenly trembled violently, emitting a piercing sound.

Li Zhao and the others were surprised to find that the energy of the Volcano's Heart was in conflict with the chaotic energy within the Spacetime Core. The situation in the Spacetime Core not only did not improve, but became even more critical.

"How could this happen?" Li Zhao asked anxiously.

The mysterious figure frowned and analyzed, "It's probably the dark forces inside the spacetime core that are interfering; they don't want us to repair the spacetime core easily."

We must find a way to suppress this disruptive force in order for the energy of the Volcano's Core to function.

As they were considering their options, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the castle.

When Li Zhao and the others ran outside the castle, they saw a huge black vortex in the sky, from which countless dark creatures emerged.

These dark creatures came in various shapes and sizes, some like giant bats, others like twisted human figures. They rushed toward the castle with menacing force.

The mysterious voice rang out again: "This is the great gift I have prepared for you. Today, you will all die here, and the spacetime core will be completely destroyed!"

Facing the impending crisis, Li Zhao felt no fear whatsoever: "We will not let you succeed!"

He gripped the Yin-Yang Orb fragment tightly, and together with Lingyue, the future Li Zhao, and the mysterious figure, prepared to face this even more difficult battle.
