Chapter 233 Dark Cataclysm and Desperate Counterattack
As the terrifying dark power surged from the surface of the dark vortex, Huanmo felt as if an invisible hand was clenching his heart. That dark power, like tangible fear, pressed down on everyone with overwhelming force, distorting space into a jumbled mess and emitting a chilling hissing sound. The already crumbling cave walls crumbled in large chunks under the impact of this power, sending rubble raining down.
"This power...it's terrifying..." Ling'er's voice trembled violently, her face turned ashen with fear, and her body shook uncontrollably. Even so, she still clung tightly to Huanmo's clothes, her eyes revealing a resolute determination, as if being with Huanmo gave her the courage to face anything.
Huanmo felt a pang of heartache. He held Ling'er's hand tightly, trying to give her some strength. "Don't be afraid, Ling'er, we will definitely get through this." He tried to make his voice sound firm and strong, but deep down he knew that this crisis was more dangerous than ever before.
The mysterious man's face was as grave as the clouds before a storm. He watched the surging dark power and quickly considered how to deal with it. "This power seems to be the core force released by the dark vortex in its death throes. We must find its weakness, otherwise..." He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the meaning behind his unfinished words.
Wanru bit her lower lip so hard that it drew a trace of blood. The weapon in her hand trembled slightly, yet it remained firmly pointed at the dark vortex. "No matter how powerful it is, we cannot back down. At worst, we'll fight to the death!" Her eyes were filled with determination, a fearless courage cultivated through countless battles.
The woman in white gently stroked the broken zither, trying to find a melody that could turn the tide in this chaotic situation. Her fingers glided across the strings, and although the strings were badly damaged and the sound was distorted, she did not give up. "Perhaps, in the depths of this darkness, lies a melody that can decipher it..." she murmured to herself, a hint of determination in her eyes.
Huanmo took a deep breath, suppressing his fear and unease. He turned his gaze back to the shimmering rune on the ancient text, trying to find a way to deal with this dark power from its mysteries. The rune's light dimmed under the impact of the dark power, but it still shone stubbornly, as if conveying some kind of message to everyone.
"Listen to me, everyone," Huanmo said loudly. "This rune may be our last hope. We must concentrate and deeply integrate the power of our faith with the power of the rune. Perhaps we can find a weakness in the dark forces and deliver a fatal blow." His voice echoed in the cave, carrying an undeniable firmness.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew there was no turning back now; they had no choice but to fight to the death. So, they closed their eyes again, gathering all their beliefs, hopes, courage, and even their aspirations for the future together.
Huanmo recalled every moment he had shared with his companions—the joyful times they had spent together, the moments they had supported each other on the brink of life and death—all of which became the source of his conviction. He silently vowed that no matter what, he would protect his companions and defeat this dark force.
Wanru recalled her arduous cultivation journey, the countless days and nights of diligent practice, and the moments of constantly breaking through her limits in battle, all of which strengthened her resolve. She told herself that she must not fall here; she must defeat the darkness together with her companions.
The woman in white was immersed in her imagination of beautiful melodies. She longed to use those pure tunes to dispel the darkness before her and restore light and tranquility to the world. This longing made her belief grow stronger.
Ling'er hugged the book tightly, pouring all her trust in Brother Huanmo, her deep affection for her companions, and her longing for a better future into her beliefs.
With everyone's unwavering belief, the power of that belief flowed like an invisible torrent, continuously converging on Huanmo. Huanmo deeply fused this power of belief with the power of the runes on the ancient text, and the runes' light instantly shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave.
A beam of light shot into the sky, heading towards the terrifying dark power. The light collided with the dark power, unleashing a dazzling burst of light and a deafening roar. The powerful shockwave ignited the air within the cave, creating whirlwinds of fire.
Under the impact of the light, the dark power seemed to be somewhat restrained. The dark power surging from the cracks on the surface of the dark vortex was no longer as turbulent as before. However, the dark power did not give up; it began to twist and deform wildly, trying to break free from the shackles of the light.
"Hold on, everyone! We're almost there!" Huanmo shouted. He could feel the struggle of the dark forces and that they were getting closer and closer to victory.
However, at that moment, the dark vortex suddenly stopped struggling and became unusually calm. An ominous premonition welled up in Huanmo's heart.
"Be careful, it might be brewing an even more powerful attack!" Huanmo shouted a warning.
Everyone immediately became alert, their eyes fixed on the dark vortex. Just then, the vortex suddenly began to spin rapidly, its speed increasing several times over. A black beam of light shot out from the center of the vortex, hurtling towards the group.
This black beam of light contained world-destroying power; wherever it passed, space was ripped apart, forming countless black cracks. Could Huanmo and the others withstand this fatal blow? Could they find a final chance of survival in this desperate situation and completely defeat the forces of darkness? Everything remained uncertain. The atmosphere inside the cave was extremely tense, and everyone's fate was once again pushed into an unknown abyss…
