Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 423 The Final Battle between Light and Darkness

Before the surprise on the face of the golden giant completely faded, a suffocating dark aura gushed out from the shadow, instantly sweeping across the entire altar. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stepped back vigilantly, and the power of the stars formed a protective energy shield around them.

"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen asked sternly, his tone full of determination.

The black figure slowly walked out from the shadows, revealing a bloodless pale face with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "I am the messenger of darkness, and I am here to stop you!"

Nan Li narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashed, "Stop us? Just you?"

“Hahaha…” The Dark Messenger laughed arrogantly, “Do you think that you can defeat darkness by obtaining the Tears of the Stars? Too naive! The power of the God of Darkness is beyond your imagination. I will use your blood to welcome the return of the God of Darkness!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark Messenger turned into a black shadow and attacked Gao Xingchen and Nanli at lightning speed. Gao Xingchen and Nanli were well prepared, and they cooperated tacitly. The power of the stars turned into two streams of light and fought with the Dark Messenger.

On the altar, the power of light and darkness collided fiercely, bursting out with dazzling light. Gao Xingchen held the Tears of the Stars in his hand, and the soft light emitted by the gem gathered into a shining long sword in his hand. Every swing of the sword carried the power of creating the world. Nan Li was light and moved through the darkness like a ghost, with the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, and every attack accurately landed on the weakness of the dark messenger.

The Dark Messenger obviously underestimated the power of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, especially the tacit cooperation between the two of them, and the huge energy generated by the perfect fusion of love and star power. For a moment, he was forced to retreat again and again by the two of them, unable to resist.

"Damn it!" The Dark Messenger roared, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Since you are stubborn and refuse to change, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he suddenly took out a black crystal from his arms. The crystal emitted a strange light, shrouding the entire altar in darkness... On the altar, darkness surged like a tide, swallowing Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The black crystal in the hands of the dark messenger emitted a frightening power, as if it was going to drag everything in the world into an endless abyss.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli's voice echoed in the darkness, but it seemed a little ethereal.

"I'm fine!" Gao Xingchen responded, his voice firm.

In the darkness, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood back to back, the power of the stars formed a faint light curtain around them, resisting the erosion of the endless darkness. They could not see each other, and could only sense each other's existence through each other's breath and heartbeat.

"Lier, hold my hand!" Gao Xingchen's voice came again.

Nan Li did not hesitate, and stretched out her hand without hesitation, tightly holding Gao Xingchen's warm and powerful palm. At that moment, a powerful force surged from their clasped hands, shining brightly, illuminating the entire altar!

It turns out that love is the purest power in the world, it can penetrate darkness and bring light and hope. With the power of love, the light of the Tears of Stars becomes more dazzling, and the Sword of Stars in Gao Xingchen's hand seems to have life, and every swing of the sword carries a devastating force, forcing the darkness back.

Feeling threatened, the Dark Messenger frantically urged the power of the black crystal to try to stop Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. However, under the dual effects of love and the power of the stars, his attack seemed weak.

"No! This is impossible!" The Dark Messenger roared in despair, "God of Darkness, please grant me strength!"

As he roared, the black crystal burst out with even more powerful dark power, shrouding the entire altar in a suffocating darkness. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li felt a strong pressure coming, and their bodies seemed to be torn apart by this force.

"Xingchen, we have to hold on!" Nan Li's voice sounded in Gao Xingchen's ears, firm and powerful.

Gao Xingchen didn't say anything, but just held Nan Li's hand even tighter. Their eyes met in the darkness, conveying their unwavering belief.

Just as the dark power was about to devour them, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li simultaneously injected the star power in their hands into the Star Tears. Dazzling light burst out from the Star Tears again, tearing a hole in the darkness...

A dazzling light burst out from the Tears of the Stars, tearing through the thick darkness above the altar in an instant. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were bathed in the holy light, as if gods had descended. That powerful force was not pure destruction, but full of purification and redemption.

The mysterious figure controlled by the power of darkness screamed in pain under the impact of this light. The dark aura on his body was like being burned by a raging fire, constantly twisting and dissipating, revealing the struggling figure underneath.

"Xingchen, he... he is resisting!" Nanli keenly noticed that the mysterious figure was not completely swallowed by the darkness, and there was still a glimmer of light deep in his heart.

Gao Xingchen's eyes were determined, and the star sword in his hand shone brighter: "Li'er, let's lend him a helping hand!"

The two simultaneously activated the power of the stars, injecting purer light power into the Tears of the Stars. Suddenly, a brilliant light illuminated the entire Nine Star Realm. The light seemed to have life, turning into countless strands of light, entwining around the mysterious figure, gently but firmly dispelling the dark power remaining in his body.

The mysterious figure's struggle became more and more intense, and his screams of pain gradually turned into suppressed sobs. Finally, the dark aura on him completely dissipated, revealing his true face.

He was a handsome man, but at this moment his face was full of fatigue and pain, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you controlled by the power of darkness?" Gao Xingchen put away the Star Sword and asked in a deep voice.

The man shook his head blankly, as if he had not yet recovered from the pain. He looked around and saw Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Who... are you?"

Nan Li took a step forward and said softly, "We are the guardians of the Heart of the Stars. You have been eroded by the power of darkness, and we saved you."

"The Heart of Stars... Guardian..." The man muttered to himself, his eyes gradually regained clarity, and memories slowly came to his mind. He held his head in pain and said painfully, "I... I remember... I am the guardian of the Star Tower, ordered to protect the Tears of Stars... But... the God of Darkness..."

At this point, he suddenly knelt on the ground in pain, his eyes filled with regret and self-blame: "It's all my fault! It was because of my momentary negligence that the God of Darkness took advantage of the opportunity and almost harmed the entire Nine Star Realm!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes. It seemed that this man knew a lot of secrets.

"Tell me slowly, what happened?" Gao Xingchen helped the man up and asked in a deep voice.

The man took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and slowly spoke...
