"Sophia?" Lian exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light to appear at this time.

Sophia nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Li An and Guo Yao: "I received a message from the Temple of Light, saying that you are searching for the Key of Light and the Key of Darkness."

I came to help, but I never expected to see this.

.....0 ...

Upon hearing this, Li An felt a surge of gratitude: "Sophia, thank you. With you here, our chances of winning have increased even more."

However, Sophia's expression suddenly turned serious: "But, Lian, I must tell you some bad news. There is a disagreement within the Temple of Light about whether to help you stop the Shadow of the Abyss. Some people believe that the Shadow of the Abyss is too powerful, and we should not risk challenging it."

Upon hearing this, Li An's heart sank. He hadn't expected such a disagreement to exist within the Temple of Light. He looked at Sophia, his eyes filled with anticipation: "So, what's your stance?"

Chapter 510 is exceptionally difficult.

Sophia looked deeply at Lian, then slowly said, "I believe in you, Lian. I believe you have the ability to stop the Shadow of the Abyss. However, I must also remind you that this is an unprecedented battle. We must be fully prepared."

Upon hearing this, Li An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that with Sophia's support, their chances of victory had increased. However, he also knew clearly that this battle would be exceptionally difficult.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, carrying whispers from afar. Li An and Guo Yao looked up at the same time, and saw something stirring in the darkness.

“It seems the Shadow of the Abyss is impatient.” Li An’s voice echoed in the night sky, carrying an undeniable resolve. “We must make a decision as soon as possible.”

Guo Yao held Li An's hand tightly, her eyes filled with determination and courage: "Whatever your decision is, I will support you. Li An, let's face this battle together."

Looking at Guo Yao, Li An felt an unprecedented surge of strength welling up inside him. He knew that as long as Guo Yao was by his side, he would have the courage to overcome any difficulty.

The three exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve. They knew the battle was imminent. They had to find the "Key of Light" and the "Key of Darkness" as quickly as possible to have any chance of stopping the Shadow of the Abyss from descending.

The night remained deep and silent. Yet, within this darkness, a force was quietly awakening. It was the determination and courage of Li An, Guo Yao, and Sophia; they would join hands to face this unprecedented challenge.

In the days that followed, Li An, Guo Yao, and Sophia split up and began searching for clues about the "Key of Light" and the "Key of Darkness," while also continuously improving their own strength.

Li An knew that the power of the Shadow of the Abyss was not to be underestimated. He had to become stronger to have a chance of winning this battle. So he began to train frantically, constantly pushing his limits.

Guo Yao, using her intelligence and beauty, inquired everywhere about the "Key of Light" and the "Key of Darkness." She knew that information was equally important in this battle...

Sophia returned to the Temple of Light, attempting to persuade the dissenting elders. She knew that only with the full support of the Temple of Light could they possibly defeat the Shadow of the Abyss.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as they had imagined. While they were busy running around, the minions of the Shadow of the Abyss began to appear frequently. They constantly harassed Lian and his companions, trying to hinder their actions.

Every battle was exceptionally difficult. Although Li An was powerful, the minions of the Shadow of the Abyss were numerous and extremely cunning. They always managed to find Li An and his companions' weaknesses and launch fatal attacks.

While Guo Yao and Sophia were not as strong as Li An, they possessed exceptional intelligence and courage. They constantly sought opportunities during the battle to provide Li An with crucial support.

And so, through constant battles and tireless travel, they gradually approached the location of the "Key of Light" and the "Key of Darkness." However, just as they were about to reach their destination, even more terrible news arrived.

Chapter 511 Approaching This World

"The Shadow of the Abyss has awakened, and it is approaching this world." This news struck them like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering all their hopes.

Li An, Guo Yao, and Sophia were all stunned. They hadn't expected the Shadow of the Abyss to awaken at this moment. This meant they had to face this battle prematurely, and they weren't fully prepared.

"What should we do?" Guo Yao's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Li An and Sophia, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Li An took a deep breath, looking at Guo Yao and Sophia with unwavering determination in his eyes: "We have no way out. We must fight to the very end!"

Sofia nodded, her eyes equally resolute: "That's right, we must not give up. Even if the hope is slim, we must fight with all our might!"

The night was as dark as ink, the stars hidden, and a cold wind howled through the ancient town. Li An and Guo Yao stood side-by-side before the magnificent gates of the Temple of Light, their eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. Sophia's news, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the fog in their hearts, guiding them to this legendary holy land to find the key to sealing the Shadow of the Abyss—the Key of Light.

However, the gates of the Temple of Light did not open as easily as they had expected. Rex, the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light, stood before them like a group of knights clad in silver armor, blocking their path like cold statues.

“Lian, the Temple of Light is not a place for you.” Rex’s voice was deep and powerful, each word as if carved from cold rock, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Li An narrowed his eyes slightly, looked Rex up and down, and smiled faintly: "Knight Commander, I have come here to seek help in the fight against our common enemy—the Shadow of the Abyss."

Rex frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "The Shadow of the Abyss? That's a legendary monster, and you, Lian, are the one who brings disaster. The Temple of Light will not welcome a visitor who may bring destruction."

Guo Yao stood beside Li An, her gaze firm yet gentle, as if it could pierce through any obstacle. "Knight Commander Rex, I believe in Li An. He has never let us down, and he won't this time either."

Rex snorted coldly, turning his gaze to Guo Yao, his tone tinged with contempt: "Women are always easily blinded by emotions. Li An, your past is full of bloodshed and violence, I can't trust you."

Lian's smile faded, and his eyes sharpened like knives: "Rex, I understand your concerns. But the threat of the Shadow of the Abyss far exceeds your imagination. If it is not sealed in time, the entire world will be plunged into darkness."

"Enough!" Rex abruptly waved his hand, interrupting Li An. "I will not let you set foot in the Temple of Light. Knights, prepare for battle!" Following Rex's command, the surrounding knights drew their swords, their tips gleaming coldly, pointing them at Li An and Guo Yao. The atmosphere instantly became tense, like a taut string about to snap.

Guo Yao gently grasped Li An's hand; her fingers were cool and soft, yet conveyed a firm strength. "Li An, what should we do?"

Li An took a deep breath, his gaze firm: "Guo Yao, trust me. No matter what we face, I will protect you."

Just then, Sophia rushed in from inside the temple, her face filled with anxiety and determination. "Knight Commander Rex, please stop! Lian and the others are not enemies; they have come to help us!"

Chapter 512 can crack it.

Rex frowned, his gaze shifting between Sophia and Lian. "Your Holiness, are you sure you want to vouch for them?"

Sophia nodded, her tone firm: "I'm certain. The power of the Abyss Shadow has begun to affect the space surrounding the Temple of Light, and we must unite all forces that can be united."

Upon hearing this, Rex hesitated for a moment. Just then, a violent tremor shook the earth, and the air around the Temple of Light began to distort. Dark rifts quietly appeared, from which crawled small, bizarre, and terrifying abyssal creatures.

"Look! This is the power of the Shadow of the Abyss!" Sophia pointed at the abyssal creatures, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and determination.

A ruthless glint flashed in Li An's eyes. He quickly assessed the surrounding situation and made a plan in his mind. He suddenly rushed forward, his figure like a ghost, and instantly appeared in front of an abyss creature. With a swing of his longsword, he precisely severed its head.

Guo Yao followed closely behind, her figure as light as the wind, her soft sword dancing like a serpent, each swing taking the life of an abyss creature.

As Rex watched Lian and Guo Yao display exceptional skill and seamless teamwork in battle, his doubts began to dissipate. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Knights, assist them in destroying these monsters!"

At Rex's command, the knights joined the battle, and the area in front of the Temple of Light descended into chaos and carnage. However, led by Li An and Guo Yao, they gradually gained the upper hand, slaying the abyssal creatures one by one, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground.

After the battle, Rex walked up to Lian, his eyes less hostile and more appreciative. "Lian, your strength exceeds my expectations. I'm willing to let you enter the Temple of Light, but you must find the Key of Light within the allotted time, or you will have to leave."

Li An nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "I will find it, for the sake of this world."

Inside the Temple of Light, grandeur and mystery reign. Soaring domes, dazzling murals, and ancient runes—everything exudes an aura of solemnity and holiness. Yet, beneath this grandeur lie endless dangers and traps.

Li An and Guo Yao cautiously moved through the temple's corridors, each step as if treading on thin ice. They knew that if they triggered any traps, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, fate seems to love playing tricks. As they passed through what appeared to be an ordinary room, they accidentally touched a hidden rune. Instantly, the entire room began to tremble, and countless beams of light flashed, transforming into sharp arrows that shot towards them.

"Heart!" Li An shouted, quickly shielding Guo Yao behind him while dodging the light arrows.

Guo Yao gripped Li An's hand tightly, her eyes filled with both fear and determination. "Li An, what should we do?"

Li An took a deep breath, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, searching for a flaw in the mechanism. "Guo Yao, don't be afraid. As long as we find the core of the mechanism, we can crack it."

As he spoke, Li An's figure flashed again. With his keen intuition and superb agility, he dodged the attacks of the light arrows while carefully observing the layout of the room and the arrangement of the runes.

Finally, he discovered a runic array hidden behind the mural. This runic array emitted a faint light, seemingly the core of the entire mechanism.

Chapter 513 Surrounded

"Guo Yao, cover me!" Li An shouted, and his figure suddenly accelerated as he rushed towards the rune array.

Upon hearing this, Guo Yao immediately wielded her soft sword, deflecting each of the incoming light arrows. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly in flight.

Li An rushed to the rune array, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he silently chanted an ancient incantation. As the incantation was completed, the rune array began to emit a dazzling light, and the light arrows seemed to lose their source of power, dissipating into the air.

"It's a success!" Li An was overjoyed. He turned to look at Guo Yao, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

However, at that moment, an even more violent tremor came. The entire Temple of Light seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and countless rays of light surged in from all directions, surrounding them completely.

"Oh no! This is the temple's self-destruct mechanism!" Li An's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Guo Yao back.

However, their retreat was blocked, and they seemed trapped in a dead end. Li An took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination and unyielding spirit. "Guo Yao, it seems we have no choice but to force our way through."

The core area of ​​the Temple of Light was dazzling and mysterious. However, beneath this light lay endless danger and death. Li An and Guo Yao clung tightly to each other, their eyes filled with both fear and determination.

"Li An, will we die?" Guo Yao's voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with trust and reliance on Li An.

Li An held Guo Yao's hand tightly, his eyes firm yet tender. "No, we won't die. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I will never give up."

With that, Li An launched another attack, his figure moving like a ghost through the light, each strike precise and deadly. However, the light seemed endless, repelling them time and again.

Guo Yao was not to be outdone. She wielded her soft sword, deflecting each incoming beam of light. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly dancing in the flames.

However, as time went by, their physical strength and magical power were gradually depleted. Looking at Guo Yao's tired face, Li An felt a deep sense of guilt and self-reproach. "Guo Yao, I'm sorry. I dragged you into this danger."

Guo Yao shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination. "Li An, don't say these things. I'm willing to face everything with you. As long as we're together, nothing can defeat us."

Upon hearing this, Li An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He took a deep breath and launched another attack. This time, he no longer swung his sword blindly, but carefully observed the trajectory and pattern of the light.

Finally, he discovered a flaw. At the intersection of the lights, a tiny point of light was flickering. A thought struck Li An; he suddenly exerted his strength and charged towards that point of light.

"Key of Light!" Li An shouted, and suddenly a key shining with brilliant light appeared in his hand.

With the appearance of the Key of Light, the lights seemed to lose their source of power and dissipated into the air. Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with victory and joy.

However, at that moment, an even more violent tremor struck. The entire Temple of Light seemed about to collapse, as countless boulders tumbled down from the ceiling, surrounding them completely.

"Hurry!" Li An grabbed Guo Yao's hand and ran towards the temple's exit. Behind them lay collapsed rubble and raging flames.

Chapter 514 A Series of Defeats

When Li An and Guo Yao finally emerged from the gates of the Temple of Light, they were exhausted and covered in wounds. Yet, their eyes shone with unwavering determination and resilience. They knew that despite countless hardships and dangers, they had finally found the Key to Light.

"Li An, we did it!" Guo Yao hugged Li An tightly, her voice choked with emotion.
