Chapter 70 The Battle for the Holy Scriptures and Breaking Through the Desperate Situation
Xuanyuan Che gripped the Holy Scripture of Light tightly, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. He scanned the Shadow Cult members and sea demons before him and declared loudly, "You will never obtain the Holy Scripture of Light! It is the hope for saving the world, and I will never let it fall into your hands!"
The leader of the Shadow Cult sneered, "Xuanyuan Che, do you think you can escape unscathed with the Holy Scripture? Today is your death day!" With that, he brandished the Shadow Demon Scythe and charged towards Xuanyuan Che. The demon scythe tore through the void, leaving black cracks in its wake, and dark energy surged towards Xuanyuan Che like a raging tide.
Xuan Yuanche was not afraid at all. He handed the Holy Scripture of Light to Su Yao beside him and said, "Su Yao, take the Holy Scripture and find a chance to leave first. I will hold them off!" Su Yao took the Holy Scripture and glanced at Xuan Yuanche with worry. But she knew that there was no time to hesitate. So she led several cultivators to retreat and prepare to find an exit.
Xuanyuan Che unleashed "Xuanyuan Chaos Break," and the chaotic aura clashed violently with the dark energy of the Shadow Cult Leader, producing a deafening roar. The surrounding space was distorted and deformed by the powerful impact, and the light in the illusory realm flickered.
Seeing that Su Yao and the others were trying to escape, the sea demon shook the ground with its massive body, creating a powerful dark wave that swept towards them. The cultivators quickly cast spells to defend themselves, and one cultivator skilled in earth magic swiftly erected a thick earthen wall in front of them, but the dark wave instantly washed it away.
At this critical moment, Xuan Yuanche diverted a portion of his power, unleashing the power of the Azure Crystal to form an ice-blue shield, blocking Su Yao and the others and temporarily repelling the sea demon's attack. However, the Shadow Cult leader seized the opportunity to circle behind Xuan Yuanche, his demonic scythe aimed at Xuan Yuanche's back.
Xuanyuan Che sensed the attack from behind and dodged the fatal blow with a swift movement. He turned around and engaged in fierce close combat with the leader of the Shadow Cult once again. The two figures crisscrossed in the air at a speed that was dazzling to behold.
On the other side, Su Yao led the cultivators in a search for an exit within the illusory realm. They proceeded along a passage shimmering with strange light, only to encounter a trap set by the Shadow Cult. Suddenly, countless black spikes shot out from both sides of the passage, and the cultivators hurriedly dodged. One cultivator was unable to dodge in time and was slashed on the arm by a spike. The wound was instantly corroded by dark power, and he groaned in pain.
Seeing this, Su Yao quickly cast a healing spell while simultaneously directing the other cultivators to break the trap. A cultivator skilled in mechanical arts stepped forward to investigate and discovered that the spikes were driven by a special dark mechanism. He used his spiritual power to cut off the mechanism's energy source, and the spikes ceased their attack.
But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the sea demon caught up again. The sea demon opened its gaping maw and spewed out a cloud of black smoke, which contained a powerful corrosive force. The cultivators held their breath and cast wind spells in an attempt to disperse the smoke.
During the battle between Xuanyuan Che and the leader of the Shadow Cult, Xuanyuan Che gradually discovered that the leader's attacks seemed more frenzied and chaotic than before. He realized that the leader of the Shadow Cult was disregarding his own safety and desperately depleting his power in order to obtain the Holy Scripture of Light.
Xuanyuan Che decided to exploit this weakness. He deliberately created an opening to lure the Shadow Cult Leader into a full-scale attack. The Shadow Cult Leader fell for it, brandishing his demonic scythe and thrusting it fiercely at Xuanyuan Che's opening. Xuanyuan Che seized the opportunity, unleashing a powerful strike. His "Xuanyuan Ultimate Chaos Break" fused perfectly with the power of the azure crystal, and a dazzling light shot towards the Shadow Cult Leader.
The Shadow Cult leader stared in horror, trying to dodge but it was too late. The light struck him, severely injuring him, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xuanyuan Che broke free from the battle and flew towards Su Yao and the others. Reaching Su Yao's side, he saw the injured cultivators and the exhausted crowd, and a surge of rage welled up within him. He turned to face the Sea Demon and declared, "Sea Demon, today is your end!"
Xuanyuan Che engaged in a final battle with the Sea Demon. He combined the power of the Star Crystal, the power of the Heart of Chaos, and the power of the Azure Crystal into one, unleashing a completely new technique. His body was enveloped in light, like a dazzling star, as he charged towards the Sea Demon.
Sensing Xuan Yuanche's immense power, the sea demon unleashed its full might. It released its dark waves, corrosive smoke, and its own formidable strength to counter Xuan Yuanche's attack.
In the fierce clash, Xuanyuan Che's power gradually gained the upper hand. His light pierced through the sea demon's dark power and struck its body. The sea demon let out a painful roar, and its massive body began to crumble and disintegrate.
With the Sea Demon's fall, the Shadow Cult members, seeing that all was lost, fled in disarray. Xuan Yuanche and Su Yao, leading the Holy Scripture of Light and the surviving cultivators, finally found the exit of the Illusory Realm and successfully returned to the world.
But they knew this was only a temporary victory. The power of the Dark Star was still closing in, and they had to study the Holy Scripture of Light as quickly as possible to find a way to resist it and prepare for the impending final battle. The fate of the world remained precarious, and they would shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving it and continue their journey.
