Li An struggled forward amidst the backlash, each step feeling like walking on a knife's edge. His face was pale, and a trickle of blood even escaped from the corner of his mouth. But he did not stop; his spirit was filled with unwavering determination and resilience.
Finally, he approached the source. It was a sphere emitting an eerie light, like a giant black hole, devouring everything around it. Li An took a deep breath, and with his powerful willpower, he suddenly exerted his strength, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, and plunged the sword into the sphere.
At that moment, the entire maze seemed to tremble. The backlash seemed to be temporarily suppressed by something, and the raging torrent gradually subsided. Li An's body also swayed precariously from the immense pressure.
Carlos and the others were stunned by what they saw. They hadn't expected Lian to possess such a powerful will, capable of temporarily suppressing the backlash from the Void Core. Reno also seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, his attacks raining down like a storm, catching Carlos and the others off guard.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lian turned around and, together with Renault, temporarily repelled the enemy. They stood back to back, warily watching their surroundings. They knew the danger was far from over, as the backlash from the Void Core could erupt again at any moment, and Carlos certainly wouldn't let it go.
Just then, a melodious flute tune drifted from afar. The sound was clear and pleasant, seemingly capable of cleansing the mind of all distractions. Both Lian and Renault were startled; they didn't know where the sound came from, nor what it meant. But the flute music seemed to contain some mysterious power, making them feel refreshed and invigorated.
The flute music grew closer, as if a mysterious figure was approaching. Lian and Renault gripped their weapons tightly, ready to fight. They knew that in this labyrinth filled with unknowns and dangers, the slightest disturbance could conceal a great crisis.
Just then, a woman in a long white dress appeared in their line of sight. She had long, flowing hair, delicate features, and held a jade flute of emerald green in her hand. Her appearance seemed to bring a touch of brightness to this dark labyrinth.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like heavenly music.
Lian and Renault exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond. They didn't know if this woman was friend or foe, nor did they know her origins or purpose. But her appearance undoubtedly brought a new variable to this tense situation.
Just then, Carlos's voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, so she's just a little brat who doesn't know her place. Get her!"
At Carlos's command, his dark forces launched another attack on Lian and his companions. The mysterious woman fearlessly met them head-on. Her figure moved nimbly across the battlefield, each swing of her jade flute accompanied by a clear, melodious sound. The dark forces members fell one after another under her attacks.
Chapter 476 Another Crisis Arrives
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lian and Renault launched a counterattack against Carlos. They knew this was a golden chance to defeat him. Lian wielded his sword, each attack imbued with a sharp, piercing aura. Renault, meanwhile, used his powerful abilities from another world to pose a significant threat to Carlos.
Carlos's face turned ashen upon seeing this. He hadn't expected the appearance of this mysterious woman to cause him so much trouble. He roared and brandished his scepter, unleashing an even more ferocious attack. But the three of them, including Lian, had already gained the upper hand.
After the battle had dragged on for some time, Carlos finally succumbed. He was struck in the shoulder by Lian's sword, blood splattering everywhere. He screamed and collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, the members of the Dark Eleven forces also fled in disarray.
Lian and his two companions had finally achieved victory. Looking at Carlos lying on the ground and the fleeing enemies, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that although the battle had been difficult, they had finally made it through.
However, at that moment, the core of the void suddenly stirred again. The backlash seemed to have been triggered by something, surging forth once more. Li An and the other two's expressions changed drastically; they knew a new crisis had arrived.
"What should we do? That force is too powerful; we can't resist it at all!" Guo Yao said anxiously.
Li An frowned, also pondering a solution. He knew that if they couldn't quickly devise a way to withstand the backlash, they would all perish here.
Just then, the mysterious woman suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps, I can give it a try."
Li An and the other two were stunned for a moment. They didn't know what method this woman had to resist the backlash. But at this point, they had no other choice but to try anything.
The woman slowly walked to the core of the void, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Then, she began to play the jade flute in her hand. The flute music was melodious and beautiful, seemingly able to penetrate the distracting thoughts in people's hearts. As the flute music began, the backlash force gradually subsided.
Li An and the other two were stunned by what they saw. They hadn't expected this woman to possess such miraculous power, capable of quelling the violent backlash.
After the flute music continued for a while, the backlash finally subsided completely. The Void Core also returned to calm, no longer emitting that eerie light.
The woman put away her jade flute and turned to look at Li An and the other two. A faint smile appeared on her face: "Alright, the crisis has been resolved. You can leave here safely now."
Looking at the woman, Li An and the other two were filled with gratitude. They knew that without her appearance, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave this place alive.
"Thank you, young lady. You saved our lives," Li An said gratefully.
The woman smiled slightly: "You're welcome. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
"Young lady, what is your name? How can we repay you?" Guo Yao asked.
The woman gently shook her head: "A name is just a label; you don't need to care about it. As for repaying me, I hope you can remember today's experience, cherish your lives, and not give up easily."
Chapter 477 Hurry up and go.
Li An and the other two nodded, remembering the woman's words. They knew that although the woman was mysterious, her words were full of wisdom and power.
Just then, a burst of light suddenly emanated from the center of the maze. The light was dazzling, seemingly illuminating the entire maze. Li An and the other two stared at the light with expressions of astonishment. They didn't know what the light meant, nor what it would bring them.
However, at that moment, the light suddenly vanished without a trace. And a huge void appeared in the center of the labyrinth. That void seemed to be a gateway to another world, radiating an alluring light.
"So, that's the true location of the Void Gate." Renault stared at the void, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Li An nodded: "That's right. After going through so many hardships, we've finally found the true location of the Void Gate. Now, all we need to do is pass through this portal to reach another world."
Guo Yao also showed an expectant expression: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over there quickly!"
The distant flute music was melodious and mysterious, as if carrying some unknown summons. Li An and the others followed the sound, each step filled with vigilance and anticipation. They knew that the source of the flute music was the very core of the void.
As they approached, the surrounding scenery began to change. The once empty void was now filled with strange runes and light, like an ancient and mysterious magic circle. A sense of oppression and tension permeated the air, inspiring awe.
Just then, a cold and resolute voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, you've finally arrived."
Li An and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw Carlos reappear with all his power. He was dressed in black armor, holding a huge longsword, and his eyes were filled with a thirst for the Void Core and ruthlessness.
"Carlos, how dare you show your face!" Lian roared, his eyes fixed on Carlos as if trying to see right through him.
Carlos sneered, "Hmph, Lian, you think you can stop me? I'm going to have the Void Core, and you'll have it too!"
As he spoke, Carlos suddenly swung his longsword, and a sharp sword light instantly attacked Li An and the others. Li An and the others quickly dodged, but the power of the sword light terrified them.
"Everyone be careful, Carlos's attack is even more ferocious than before!" Li An shouted a warning.
Just then, an innocent voice suddenly rang out: "...Hey, who are you? Why are you fighting here?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl in a white dress standing in front of them. She had long golden hair and clear, watery eyes, and was looking at them curiously.
“Lilith?” Lian exclaimed in surprise. He remembered that Lilith had appeared as an avatar of the Void Core during the previous trial.
Lilith nodded, a sweet smile spreading across her face. "Yes, it's me. Are you here for the Void Core?"
Li An nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Lilith. We are here to stop Carlos from seizing the Void Core. If he obtains the power of the Void Core, it will pose a huge threat to the entire world."
Upon hearing this, Lilith's face showed a worried expression: "Oh, I see. But the power of the Void Core isn't something you can just obtain casually. Only those who truly gain its approval can possess its power."
Chapter 478 Approval or Disapproval
Upon hearing this, Carlos's eyes flashed with disdain: "Hmph, what's with all this talk of approval or disapproval? Lilith, as long as you hand over the Void Core to me, I won't hurt you."
Lilith shook her head and said firmly, "No, Carlos. The power of the Void Core is not for satisfying personal desires. It must be used in the right way."
Upon hearing this, Carlos's face instantly darkened: "Hmph, since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite."
With that, Carlos swung his longsword again, attacking Lilith. Lian and the others rushed forward to stop him, and a fierce battle erupted instantly.
Carlos's attacks were fierce and ruthless; each swing of his sword seemed to cleave the void. Li An defended with 780 power, but each collision brought him immense pressure. The surrounding space began to distort, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.
Guo Yao watched the battle intently, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes filled with worry. Although she couldn't directly participate in the fight, she knew that her emotional support was crucial for Li An.
"Li An, you must be careful!" Guo Yao prayed silently in her heart.
Just then, a hearty voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, Carlos, you're too arrogant. Let me take you on!"
The crowd turned to look at the source of the sound and saw a burly man standing before them. He was clad in leather armor, wielding a massive battle axe, and his eyes were filled with a burning desire for battle.
"Renault?" Lian exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected Renault to appear at this moment.
Renault nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, it's me. Lian, let's fight side by side."
With that, Renault brandished his battle axe and charged at Carlos. Seeing this, Lian quickly joined the battle. He and Renault coordinated perfectly, one attacking and the other defending, gradually suppressing Carlos's offensive.
Seeing this, Carlos's eyes flashed with anger. He hadn't expected to be suppressed by two young men working together.
"Damn it!" Carlos roared, suddenly igniting his life force. A powerful aura erupted from his body, as if it would devour the entire void.
"Oh no, Carlos is about to use his ultimate move!" Lian exclaimed.
Sure enough, Carlos suddenly swung his longsword, and a massive sword beam instantly struck towards Lian and Renault. The power of that sword beam was so great that they both felt unprecedented pressure.
"Get out of the way!" Li An shouted, pulling Renault aside. However, the sword light was too fast, and they still couldn't completely avoid it.
With a deafening boom, the sword light struck the void in front of them, generating a massive energy surge. Both Li An and Renault were thrown backward by the force, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Li An struggled to get up from the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He knew he had just been seriously injured.
Renault also got up from the ground, his face equally pale. He looked at Carlos, his eyes filled with anger and resentment: "You bastard, how could you use such despicable means?"
Carlos sneered: "Hmph, as long as I can obtain the power of the Void Core, I don't care what means I use."
Just then, Li An suddenly felt a warm power emanating from the core of the void. A thought struck him, as if he understood something. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them.
Chapter 479 resonated.
His eyes shone brightly, as if two flames were burning within them. He felt the power emanating from the core of the void, which resonated with the power within his own body.
"Ah!" Li An suddenly shouted, and a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body. The strength of that aura shocked everyone present.
"Li An, what's wrong?" Guo Yao exclaimed in surprise. Looking at Li An's unpredictable demeanor, she was filled with worry and curiosity.
Lian didn't answer; he just stared intently at Carlos. His eyes were filled with determination and murderous intent, as if he wanted to completely destroy Carlos.
"Carlos, are you ready? I'll show you what true power is!" Lian shouted.
As he spoke, Lian suddenly charged towards Carlos, his speed as fast as lightning. Every move he made was aimed at Carlos's vital points, and every strike contained astonishing power.
Carlos was shocked. He hadn't expected Lian to suddenly become so powerful. He hurriedly swung his longsword to defend himself, but the power he felt was unprecedented.
"Bang bang bang..." The sounds of swords clashing with fists rang out continuously, each collision generating enormous energy fluctuations. The surrounding void seemed to be torn apart by this force.
Carlos's men, seeing this, wanted to step forward to help. However, they were intimidated by Lian's powerful aura and dared not approach.
"Damn it!" Carlos roared, burning his life force once more. However, this time it had no effect. Lian's power seemed inexhaustible; he was like a raging war god, relentlessly launching fierce attacks on Carlos.
