While dodging, Lian began to carefully observe Kane's attack patterns. He discovered that after each powerful attack, Kane would pause briefly. Although this pause was short, it was enough for Lian to be the key to his counterattack.
Li An took a deep breath, concentrating all his strength in his legs. He awaited Kane's next powerful attack, preparing to launch a counterattack in the brief moment of pause.
Chapter 522 Artifact
Finally, Kane launched another powerful attack. A black beam of light, like a giant dragon, lunged at Li An, who narrowly dodged the attack. In the instant Kane paused, Li An shot out like an arrow, kicking the artifact in Kane's hand hard.
"Bang!" The artifact drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally landed steadily in Li An's hand.
Kane's expression changed drastically. He charged at Lian in a rage, as if he wanted to devour him alive. However, Lian was no longer the passive defender he had been before. He wielded a divine weapon, his entire body radiating a dazzling light, like a god descended from the heavens.
"Kane, your end is nigh!" Lian roared, and the artifact in his hand instantly burst forth with powerful light, transforming into a golden beam that attacked Kane.
Kane hurriedly wielded his dark power, attempting to block the golden beam of light. However, the artifact seemed to come alive in Lian's hands; its light grew stronger and stronger, ultimately utterly shattering Kane's dark power.
Kane was struck by the golden beam of light; his body tumbled through the air several times before crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but ultimately collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Holding the divine weapon, Lian coldly stared at Kane lying on the ground. He was filled with the thrill of victory, but he also knew this was only the beginning of the battle. He had to reach the Abyss of Darkness as soon as possible, purify its dark aura, and completely seal the Shadow of the Abyss.
“Lian, you’ve won,” Kane said weakly, his voice filled with resentment and despair.
Ignoring Kane, Lian turned to look at the distant Abyss of Darkness. That was the lair of the Shadow of the Abyss, and his ultimate goal in this battle. He took a deep breath, concentrating all his power into the artifact, and then resolutely embarked on the path to the Abyss of Darkness.
The Abyss of Darkness lies in a desolate land, surrounded by withered trees and barren grasslands. The atmosphere here is oppressive and heavy, as if even the air itself has been corroded by darkness. Lian walked step by step towards the center of the Abyss of Darkness, his heart filled with vigilance and determination.
As he reached the edge of the Abyss of Darkness, a powerful aura of darkness rushed towards him. This aura seemed alive, constantly surging towards him, attempting to devour him. Li An gritted his teeth, concentrating all his power into the divine artifact, preparing to face this final battle.
The divine artifact gleamed brilliantly in Li An's hand, its light contrasting sharply with the dark aura. Li An took a deep breath, then swung the artifact sharply. A golden beam shot out from the artifact, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
However, this was only the beginning. An endless stream of dark energy surged from the Abyss of Darkness. Lian continuously brandished his divine weapon, unleashing beams of golden light at the dark energy. However, while these beams could dispel the dark energy, they could not completely annihilate it.
Li An understood that he had to find the source of the Abyss of Darkness to completely purify its dark aura. He began searching along the edge of the Abyss and finally discovered a massive black hole in a hidden corner. This black hole seemed to be the heart of the Abyss of Darkness, constantly radiating dark energy.
Chapter 523 Suction
Holding the divine artifact, Li An cautiously approached the black hole. His heart was filled with vigilance and tension, for he knew that the power of the Abyss Shadow lurked within it. He had to proceed with extreme caution to avoid being swallowed by the Abyss Shadow.
As he reached the edge of the black hole, a powerful suction suddenly came from within. This suction seemed to be pulling him entirely into the black hole. Li An gritted his teeth, concentrating all his strength in his feet, struggling against the suction.
However, the suction force grew stronger and stronger, and Li An gradually felt powerless. Just then, the divine artifact in his hand suddenly burst forth with a powerful light. This light acted like a shield in front of him, temporarily blocking the suction force of the black hole.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li An poured all his power into the Divine Artifact 763. The artifact seemed to activate in his hands, emitting a series of booming sounds. A golden beam of light shot out from the artifact, directly into the black hole.
The beam of light pierced the heart of the Abyss of Darkness like a sharp sword. It continuously traversed the black hole, dispelling the darkness one by one. As the beam penetrated deeper, the darkness within the Abyss began to gradually diminish.
However, at that moment, the Shadow of the Abyss suddenly let out a desperate roar. Its voice echoed through the abyss of darkness, as if it were tearing the entire space apart. Li An was startled; he understood that this was the Shadow of the Abyss making its death throes.
He had to seal the Shadow of the Abyss completely as soon as possible, otherwise, if it escaped, it would bring a great disaster to the entire world. Li An took a deep breath and concentrated all his power into the divine artifact. Then, he swung the artifact in his hand, and a golden beam of light shot out from it, directly hitting the Shadow of the Abyss.
The Shadow of the Abyss let out a shrill scream amidst the golden beam of light. Its form began to dissipate, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing into the Abyss of Darkness. At that moment, the divine artifact in Li An's hand emitted its last dazzling light before slowly fading away.
The battle was over. Li An stood there, watching the dark aura within the Abyss completely dissipate. His heart was filled with the exhilaration of victory and a profound sense of relief. He knew he had successfully purified the Abyss and completely sealed away the Shadow of the Abyss.
Just then, Guo Yao and the others arrived at the scene. Seeing that Li An had successfully sealed the Shadow of the Abyss, they all smiled with relief. Guo Yao excitedly rushed into Li An's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Li An, you did it! You successfully sealed the Shadow of the Abyss!" Guo Yao shouted excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes.
Li An smiled at Guo Yao and gently patted her back. He knew that all of this was inseparable from the support and help of Guo Yao and others. Without them, he could not have completed this arduous task alone.
“Yes, we did it,” Li An said, his voice tinged with weariness, but more so with determination and confidence.
The crowd cheered and jumped for joy, embracing each other in celebration of their hard-won victory. However, amidst the jubilation, a sense of unease crept into Li An's heart. He understood that although they had successfully sealed the Shadow of the Abyss, many unknown threats still lurked in this world. He had to continue his efforts to protect this world and those he loved.
Chapter 524 I Must Find You
"Everyone, we cannot let our guard down," Li An said, his eyes becoming serious. "Although we have sealed the Shadow of the Abyss, there are still many unknown enemies in this world. We must continue to cultivate diligently and improve our strength in order to meet the challenges of the future."
The night was as black as ink, the stars hidden, darkness shrouded the entire world, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. Li An stood at the edge of the Abyss of Darkness, gazing at the churning darkness below, his brow furrowed. He knew that to reseal the Shadow of the Abyss, he must find the "Key of Light" and the "Key of Darkness." However, these two keys seemed to have been hidden or moved, making the task exceptionally difficult.
"Alice, I must find you," Li An murmured to himself, then his figure flashed and he leaped into the Abyss of Darkness.
Within the Abyss of Darkness, a chilling wind howled, and a tangible aura of darkness permeated the air. Li An traversed the dark labyrinth, using his keen senses to search for Alice's presence. Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted ahead, and Li An's heart tightened; he immediately quickened his pace.
Rounding a bend, Li An's view suddenly opened up, revealing Alice being surrounded and attacked by a group of minions dressed in black robes. These minions wielded sharp blades, their attacks ruthless, clearly well-trained. Although Alice was the guardian of the Dark Key, she appeared to be struggling, already sustaining multiple injuries.
"Alice!" Lian shouted, his figure rushing towards the battlefield like a ghost. With a wave of his hands, his spiritual power surged and instantly sent several black-robed henchmen flying.
Alice's eyes lit up with surprise at the arrival of Lian, but then turned to worry. She knew that although Lian was powerful, he couldn't guarantee his safe return from so many enemies.
"Li An, run! There are too many of them, you can't beat them!" Alice shouted anxiously.
Li An seemed not to hear, his gaze sharp as he scanned the surrounding enemies. He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging within him, as if to illuminate the darkness.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" A black-robed henchman grinned as he charged toward Li An, the blade in his hand gleaming coldly.
Li An snorted coldly, his figure flashing like a ghost as he kicked an enemy beside him. The enemy felt a tremendous force, as if struck by a heavy blow, and was sent flying. Li An seized the opportunity to wield his longsword, each move incredibly sharp, and several enemies instantly fell to his blade.
However, the enemies seemed endless, constantly emerging from the darkness to attack Li An. Although Li An was powerful, he gradually felt his strength waning. Wounds began to appear on his body, and blood stained his clothes.
"Lian, watch out!" Alice suddenly shouted, as a black-robed henchman attacked Lian from behind.
Li An's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly retreated, simultaneously slashing his sword in two with his backhand. But this retreat left him surrounded by enemies.
"Looks like I'll have to use my real skills." Li An sneered, gripping his longsword tightly with both hands, his spiritual power surging within him as if he wanted to tear the darkness apart.
Suddenly, Li An sprang into action, like a tiger descending a mountain, instantly charging into the enemy ranks. His longsword danced like a dragon, each move incredibly sharp, and in an instant, a large number of enemies fell to his blade. The remaining enemies, intimidated by Li An's power, retreated hastily, daring not to advance further.
Chapter 525 Where is it?
Alice watched Li An fight, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude. She knew that if Li An hadn't arrived in time, she would likely be in grave danger.
Finally, when the last enemy fell, Lian was also panting heavily. He sheathed his longsword, looked at Alice, and asked, "Where is the Key of Darkness? Where is it?"
Alice's expression turned serious. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. I've always guarded the Key of Darkness, but recently I discovered it has disappeared. I suspect someone stole it."
Upon hearing this, Li An's heart sank. He knew that the disappearance of the Dark Key undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the mission. But he also understood that now was not the time to be discouraged; he had to find the Dark Key and the Light Key as soon as possible to reseal the Shadow of the Abyss.
“Alice, we must find the Key of Darkness as soon as possible. Do you have any clues?” Lian asked.
Alice thought for a moment and said, "I've heard that the Key of Darkness has some kind of mysterious connection with the Shadow of the Abyss. Perhaps we can start with clues from the Shadow of the Abyss."
Lian nodded in agreement. He looked at Alice and said, "You stay here to recover. I'll go to the Temple of Light to inquire about the Key of Light."
Alice nodded, looking at Lian with gratitude. She knew that Lian had already sacrificed too much to seal the Shadow of the Abyss. And she was willing to give everything for this world, for Lian.
Lian bid farewell to Alice, and with a flash, left the Abyss of Darkness. He traveled swiftly, soon arriving at the gates of the Temple of Light. He looked up at the majestic temple, a surge of inexplicable awe rising within him. He knew that the Temple of Light was the most sacred place in this world, and the key to finding the Key to Light.
Li An straightened his clothes and stepped into the temple. The temple was resplendent in gold, exuding a sacred aura. He walked through a long corridor and arrived at the main hall. There, he saw a group of temple knights dressed in white, longswords in hand, their eyes blazing, as if ready to fight for the light at any moment.
Lian walked to the center of the hall and said loudly, "I am Lian, and I want to see your Knight Commander Rex."
His voice echoed in the hall, but he was quickly surrounded by a group of conservative knights... They looked at Lian with hostility and wariness in their eyes.
"Li An? You're the culprit who caused this disaster?" a knight roared.
Lian frowned. He knew these conservative knights had always been hostile towards him. But he hadn't expected them to attack him so directly.
"I caused the disaster? Do you know that I came here precisely to seal the Shadow of the Abyss? And the Key of Light is something I must find," Li An explained calmly.
However, the conservative knights seemed not to hear, and they all drew their longswords, pointing them at Lian.
"Stop wasting your breath on him! He's a lackey of the Shadow of the Abyss! Kill him!" a knight shouted.
Li An 2.8 felt a chill run down his spine; he hadn't expected these conservative knights to be so radical. He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging within him, preparing for the impending battle.
Just then, a dignified voice rang out: "Stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Knight Commander Rex striding towards them. He wore silver armor, held a longsword, and his eyes were piercing, as if he could see into people's hearts.
Chapter 526: Triggering a Disaster?
“Li An, I heard you came. I didn’t expect you to be besieged by these people.” Rex looked at Li An, a complicated expression flashing in his eyes.
Li An bowed slightly and said, "Sir Knight, I have come here to find the Key of Light. I know that what happened before has caused you to misunderstand me, but please believe me, I came here to seal the Shadow of the Abyss."
Rex nodded, indicating he believed Lian's words. He looked at the conservative knights and said sternly, "Step back! Lian is our guest, not our enemy. Any further misbehavior will be punished according to military law!"
Although the conservative knights were unwilling, they dared not disobey the knight commander's orders and all sheathed their swords and retreated.
Lian looked at Rex with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Commander Knight."
Rex waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Lian, I know why you're here. But the Key of Light is a sacred object of our Temple of Light and cannot be easily given to outsiders. However, I can help you find its whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Li An was overjoyed. He knew that with Rex's help, the hope of finding the Key of Light would undoubtedly increase greatly.
"Thank you, Commander Knight. When shall we depart?" Lian asked.
Rex thought for a moment and said, "Let's not delay, let's set off now. But you have to come with me to see someone first."
Lian nodded in agreement. He followed Rex through a long corridor to a mysterious room. The room was simply furnished, containing only a large bed and a desk. On the desk sat a bright oil lamp.
Lian looked around the room curiously, wondering who Rex was taking him to meet. Just then, a gentle voice rang out: "Lian, you've arrived."
Li An looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in white stand up from beside the bed. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful face and intelligent eyes. Upon closer inspection, Li An realized that she was none other than Sophia, the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light!
“Sophia?” Lian exclaimed in surprise.
Sophia smiled at Lian and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? I'm actually Rex's sister. I've always heard about your deeds and have wanted to meet you. I never thought you'd come to me like this."
