211: Chapter 211 The Final Battle of the Dark Crystal: The Resonance of Intense Light from the Thirteen Realms and the Destruction of the Mother Core

Thirteen Realms Assemble: Strong Light Crystal Equipment Upgrade

When the Alliance Mothership parked on the outskirts of the extraterritorial crystal core, ships from 115 star systems had formed a circle. Each ship was glowing with a "Strong Light Crystal Coating" — the Triangulum cruisers were tinged with Star Core Energy red + Strong Light, the Little Magellanic probes were wrapped in Erosion Energy dark silver + Strong Light, and Purple Moon's amethyst warships were pale purple + Strong Light, like a glowing colorful barrier, illuminating the pitch-black extraterritorial space.

Purple Moon squatted on the deck, clutching a piece of "Strong Light Crystal" with blinding white light encased inside: "This crystal can resist light absorption, ten times stronger than the previous anti-replication crystals — but your equipment must have this crystal embedded, otherwise the light consumption of the Dark Crystal Mother Core will turn the surroundings into a black hole, swallowing even the light of your Qi Energy techniques. If you go to fight the Mother Core in the dark, you're just asking to get beaten!"

Lu Yu held a wrench, embedding the crystal into the "Strong Light Navigator." As soon as it touched the interface, he shouted: "Ouch! This crystal is too bright! It's blinding me!" Purple Moon walked over, swiping her fingertips with Amethyst Qi Energy over the crystal, softening the white light slightly: "Don't fight it head-on! Strong Light Crystals require 'softening'; push it along the light patterns of the navigator. It's not the same method as repairing the anti-replication device!" Ling leaned over, poked the Strong Light Crystal, and squinted because of the glare: "Yo, this crystal is quite haughty. It's bright enough to be used as a sun. Don't blind our own people when we fight the Mother Core later!" Purple Moon rolled her eyes at him: "Better than you getting wrapped up like a zongzi by Dark Crystal sub-bodies in the dark. Last time we fought the Amethyst Lord, who almost tripped and fell?"

The equipment upgrade scene was like a "Strong Light Party." Purple Moon broke the Strong Light Crystal into small pieces, each wrapped in softening white light: "Embed them on the forehead of your spacesuit helmets, align them with your line of sight, and don't embed them backward — if you do, you'll blind yourself!" Xiao Juan's Nature Qi gloves had an extra layer of "Strong Light Sensing Membrane." Purple Moon wiped some crystal liquid onto the membrane, and the gloves immediately revealed the outline of the Dark Crystal Mother Core: "You can talk to the Source of Martial Tradition; this membrane will allow you to see the trajectory of the light consumption, and you can even find the Dark Crystal tentacles hidden in the darkness by the Mother Core."

Little Whale Spirit's Qi Energy chamber was placed next to the navigator. The little guy pushed the Thirteen Qi Energy + Star System Resonance Sphere next to the Strong Light Crystal. The sphere suddenly absorbed the white light from the crystal, turning into a "Thirteen Qi Energy + Star System + Strong Light Sphere," glowing with rainbow light wrapped in blinding white light. It even rubbed against the hands of Purple Moon, Xiao Juan, and Ling in turns — when it rubbed against Ling, the sphere deliberately turned up the brightness of the white light, making Ling cover his face, which made everyone laugh: "Little Whale Spirit is still holding a grudge!"

Chen Wu raised the fusion jade, on which the Thirteen Qi Energy was wrapped in star system light spots, amethyst light, and Strong Light, spinning rapidly: "Now it's the 'Thirteen Realms + All Star Systems + Strong Light Alliance.' This time, we must not only destroy the Dark Crystal Mother Core but also clear out the Dark Crystal remnants in the extraterritorial space so they don't drift to other star systems with crystal-based traditional martial arts!" News came from the Technical Department that the Source of Martial Tradition of all star systems were sending energy to the Mothership, and the Dark Crystal Mother Core was already showing signs of activity — the surrounding dark area was expanding, and even the starlight in the distance was swallowed into nothingness.

The global livestream barrage was exploding: "The Strong Light from all the star system ships is so spectacular! Like a Universe lantern!" "Little Whale Spirit's sphere is blinding Brother Ling! That's cuteness overload!" "Sister Purple Moon is so cool repairing the navigator! Brother Lu Yu got scolded again!" Lv Xi squatted next to Little Whale Spirit's chamber and poked the Strong Light Sphere: "This little guy can now control thirteen strands of Qi Energy + Strong Light, even brighter than the glowing plants at my place!"

Dark Crystal Passage: Light Consumption Trap and Strong Light Breakthrough

When the Alliance Mothership sailed into the "Dark Crystal Dark Passage," the window turned black instantly — not just ordinary black, but a "Light Consumption Zone." Even the Mothership's Strong Light coating was swallowed until only a faint light remained. The navigator's screen slowly turned black, and even Leo's Space-Time Energy was swallowed until it lost its light, and the immobilized Dark Crystal fragments instantly disappeared into the darkness.

"Damn it! This darkness is even more evil than the Alienated Nebula! It can even swallow light!" Leo clutched the Space-Time Crystal Core, sweat beading on his forehead. Purple Moon's Strong Light Crystal lit up, and the softening white light wrapped around the Mothership: "Don't panic! Strong Light can resist consumption!" The light from her fingertips drew a Strong Light arc outside the cabin, and the dark area was immediately pushed away, as if opening a "Path of Light" for the Mothership, and the navigator's screen slowly recovered its brightness.

But they hadn't gone far when a "Light Consumption Vortex" suddenly appeared in front — floating in the vortex were shipwrecks corroded by Dark Crystal and half a blackened "Dark Crystal fragment." The darkness at the center of the vortex was as thick as ink, swallowing all light around it. Even the Mothership's Strong Light was being pulled into the vortex. "It's a trap set by the Dark Crystal Mother Core! This vortex can swallow Strong Light and turn Dark Crystal fragments into 'Darkness Bombs.' The swallowed attacks will be turned into Darkness Bombs and fired back!" As soon as Purple Moon finished speaking, the vortex suddenly exerted force, dragging a Star Orbit warship from Andromeda inside. The warship's Strong Light coating instantly dimmed, and the Star Orbit engine began to stall!

"Karen! Use Storm Qi to pull the warship! Leo! Use Star Core Energy + Strong Light to burn the edge of the vortex!" Chen Wu shouted. Karen's Storm Qi spun, silver-gray wind wrapped in Strong Light, like a rope entangling the warship, but the vortex's consumption power was too strong, and the light of the wind was swallowed until it weakened; Leo's Star Core Energy condensed into a fireball, wrapped in Strong Light, and smashed toward the vortex. The fireball was swallowed into a "Darkness Fireball" as soon as it touched the darkness, and it was rebounded, almost hitting the Mothership's Strong Light coating, scaring Lu Yu so much he dropped his wrench.

"Careful! Attacks will be rebounded into Darkness Bombs!" Xiao Juan suddenly shouted, the Strong Light Sensing Membrane on her gloves glowing brightly, "There is a 'Dark Crystal Sub-body Mother' at the core of the vortex! It is absorbing Strong Light energy, and the more it absorbs, the stronger the consumption power becomes!" She drew the position of the Sub-body Mother on the screen, a group of black crystallized insects surrounding a piece of Dark Crystal. Every time it took a breath, the vortex's consumption power grew stronger, and the surrounding dark area became larger.

Little Whale Spirit suddenly rushed out of the chamber, the Thirteen Qi Energy + Strong Light Sphere growing larger in front of it, flying toward the vortex — as soon as the sphere touched the vortex, the swallowed Storm Qi light instantly recovered, and Leo's Darkness Fireball turned back into a Star Core Fireball + Strong Light, smashing toward the Sub-body Mother; the vortex's rotation speed slowed down, and the Star Orbit warship that had been sucked in finally started its engine, breaking free from the gravitational pull, and its Strong Light coating was re-lit by the sphere's light.

"Its sphere can resist light consumption!" Purple Moon shouted with surprise, "Little Whale Spirit! Throw another sphere into the core!" The little guy nodded and spat out another sphere — this time the sphere exploded in the center of the vortex, rainbow light wrapped in Strong Light, and the Sub-body Mother was instantly melted by the light, turning into harmless crystal powder, and the vortex slowly dissipated. The captain of the Andromeda warship sent a thank you: "Thanks to Little Whale Spirit! Otherwise, our ship would have been swallowed by the darkness!"

Ling leaned over, wanting to touch Little Whale Spirit's sphere, but the sphere burrowed into Purple Moon's hands and replicated a small Strong Light Crystal, gently shaking it, and again made Ling squint his eyes, making Ling mutter angrily: "This little guy learned to be bad from Purple Moon! It only knows how to bully me!" The global audience watched and was amused: "Little Whale Spirit is so cute! It even knows how to use Strong Light to blind Brother Ling!" "Sister Purple Moon and Little Whale Spirit are a great match! Like a glowing duo!"

Mother Core Outskirts Battle: Dark Crystal Lord and Team Confrontation

As soon as the Alliance Mothership stopped steadily, the "Dark Crystal Lord" next to the Dark Crystal Mother Core moved — its body was pitch-black crystallized energy wrapped in rock, its eyes were two clusters of dark red light, and as soon as it opened its mouth, it spat out a cluster of "Darkness Crystallization Blades," heading straight for the Mothership's Strong Light coating! "Quickly use Strong Light + Amethyst Qi Energy to block! This blade can swallow Strong Light and corrode the coating!" Purple Moon shouted, the pale purple + Strong Light around her body condensed into a barrier. When the blade touched the barrier, it made a "sizzling" sound and was slowly melted by the Strong Light.

Chen Wu immediately assigned tactics: "Purple Moon, Xiao Juan, protect the Strong Light barrier, use Amethyst Qi Energy + Nature Qi + Strong Light to resist consumption; Leo, Ze, pin down the Dark Crystal Lord, don't let it swallow light; Aiya, A-Yue, use Star Orbit Qi + Strong Light to entangle the Lord's Dark Crystal tentacles; Ling, Luna, clear the sub-bodies (using Qi Energy techniques + Strong Light); Leo, Xiao Kaya, use Star Core Energy + Erosion Energy + Strong Light to blast the Lord's crystallized body; Chen, Viya, Yuan, fill the gaps; the new generation, follow me to protect Little Whale Spirit!"

Purple Moon and Xiao Juan protecting the barrier was the most critical part — Purple Moon's Amethyst Qi Energy wrapped in Strong Light, inputting it into the coating, and the swallowed Strong Light was instantly replenished; Xiao Juan's Nature Qi drilled into the barrier, resonating with the surrounding light, making the Strong Light more stable; Little Whale Spirit's Strong Light Sphere spun next to the barrier, and when it touched the dark energy that leaked in, it shone them into crystal powder, like a small moving sun.

Aiya and A-Yue entangled the tentacles with perfect tacit understanding—Aiya's extraterrestrial Star Orbit Qi wrapped in intense light condensed into a rope, coiling around the Lord's dark crystal tentacles. As soon as the pale purple thread touched the tentacles, it drilled inward, the intense light causing the tentacles to emit black smoke; A-Yue's Star Orbit Qi followed the rope inside, disrupting the tentacles' crystallized energy, and cracks instantly appeared on them.

"Leo! Quickly blast the cracks!" A-Yue shouted. Leo's Star Core Energy fireball, wrapped in intense light, immediately smashed into them. As soon as the fireball touched the cracks, it exploded. The intense light illuminated the Lord's body, and Xiao Kaya's Erosion Energy poured in through the blast opening. Dark silver light enveloped the crystallized energy, and the Lord's body slowly dissipated into crystal dust.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the Dark Crystal Lord suddenly unleashed "Ultimate Light Devour"—the surrounding intense light was instantly swallowed, and the Alliance Mothership's plating dimmed significantly. The Lord also replicated three phantoms, each wrapped in dark energy, having respectively copied Ling's Stardust Energy, Leo's Star Core Energy, and Purple Moon's Amethyst Energy, hurling them toward the three.

"Careful! It can devour light and replicate Qi Energy techniques!" Ling was hit by his own Stardust Energy phantom, and a small dent was blasted into his armor: "This thing is too cheap! It's copying my energy to hit me again!"

Purple Moon immediately charged over, her Amethyst Energy wrapped in intense light, condensing into a great sword, and slashed toward the phantoms: "Lyon, Ze! Use Space-Time Energy + intense light to freeze the phantoms! I'll break the replication!"

Lyon and Ze's Space-Time Energy, wrapped in intense light, exerted force simultaneously. Pale golden light + intense light enveloped the three phantoms, and their movements instantly slowed down; Purple Moon's great sword slashed over, the intense light melting the phantoms, and the replicated Qi Energy techniques dissipated along with them.

"It worked! After freezing them, using intense light can break the replication!" Purple Moon shouted. Ling immediately leaned over: "Next time I'll freeze them! You help me slash, and watch me slash this Lord into crystal dust!"

Little Whale Spirit suddenly floated over and stuffed the intense light ball into Ling's hand, as if encouraging him. Ling's face instantly turned red, and he said stubbornly: "Who needs its help! I can slash it myself!" But his hand gripped the ball tightly, causing everyone to laugh—even the global live stream's barrage was filled with comments: "Brother Ling is confirmed to be stubborn but soft-hearted!" "Little Whale Spirit is so good at coaxing people!"

Section 4 Climax: Resonance of the Thirteen Realms' Intense Light Galaxy and the Destruction of the Mother Core.

"Purple Moon! Use the Intense Light Crystal to connect all the Alliance's intense light energy! Lyon, Ze! Freeze the Dark Crystal Mother Core!" Chen Wu shouted into the universal communicator. Purple Moon's Intense Light Crystal lit up, and the white light followed the signal, connecting to the Source of Martial Tradition in 115 galaxies—the Solar System's Stardust nodes erupted with blood pillars + intense light, Andromeda's Star Orbit lines connected into a net + intense light, the Triangulum's Star Core source shone blindingly + intense light, the Trans-Domain's Space-Time Energy, the Origin Heart's Ultimate Source Energy, Green Star's Nature Qi, Amethyst's Amethyst Energy... countless strands of energy wrapped in intense light, like a colorful, luminous giant dragon, converged into the Alliance Mothership!

Lyon and Ze's Space-Time Energy, wrapped in intense light, condensed into giant hands. Pale golden light + intense light enveloped the Dark Crystal Mother Core, and the Mother Core's light devouring instantly weakened, even the surrounding dark areas being pushed away by the intense light: "We can only freeze it for 20 seconds! Hurry and charge up!"

Leo, Xiao Kaya, Ling, Luna, Viya, Chen, A-Yue, Yuan, Xiao Juan, the new generation... everyone's Qi Energy was wrapped in intense light, pouring into Little Whale Spirit's intense light ball. The ball became larger and larger, shimmering with a rainbow-white light of Thirteen Energies + galaxy energy + Amethyst light + intense light, bright enough to pierce through the pitch-black of the extraterrestrial space, even restoring the swallowed starlight in the distance!

The Dark Crystal Mother Core saw the situation was bad and tried to break free from the Space-Time giant hands, but Little Whale Spirit's intense light ball suddenly stuck to the Mother Core. Thirteen streams of energy + intense light, like thirteen luminous swords, slowly drilled into the Mother Core's core—the pitch-black crystallized energy began to melt under the illumination of the intense light, revealing the "Dark Crystal Core" inside. It was a black crystal larger than a basketball, wrapped in the densest dark energy; every time it pulsed, the surrounding darkness grew one layer thicker!

"Attention, entire Alliance! Pour all energy + intense light into the ball! Unleash the Thirteen Realms Intense Light Galaxy Resonance Energy!" Chen Wu's voice was filled with excitement. Shouts from 115 galaxies came through the communicator, and countless strands of intense light energy surged three times over. The intense light ball instantly shone like a small Universe, the darkness around the Dark Crystal Mother Core was illuminated until it vanished, and the stars were revealed in the extraterrestrial sky once again!

"Fire!" Little Whale Spirit and Purple Moon exerted force simultaneously. The intense light ball, carrying the energy of the entire Universe, smashed toward the Dark Crystal Core like a rainbow luminous meteor! "Bang—!" With a loud noise, the entire extraterrestrial space shook. The Dark Crystal Core was smashed to pieces, the pitch-black crystallized energy instantly melted by the intense light, turning into harmless crystal dust. The Dark Crystal Mother Core's body dissipated into crystal dust, the surrounding Dark Crystal Lords and sub-bodies were purified along with it, and even the Dark Crystal remnants deep in the extraterrestrial space were swept clean by this burst of intense light energy!

After the Dark Crystal Mother Core was destroyed, the darkness in the extraterrestrial space completely vanished, revealing a brilliant starry sky—the previously swallowed starlight had all recovered, as if the extraterrestrial space had been inlaid with diamonds. A wisp of pale black energy floated on the remains of the Mother Core, and Xiao Juan's gloves immediately lit up: "It's the residual energy of the Dark Crystal! It's floating toward the 'Void Realm'!" Purple Moon leaned over and waved the Intense Light Crystal at the energy, and the energy instantly dissipated: "Fortunately, there isn't much residue, otherwise we'd have to chase it to the Void Realm!"

The global live stream's barrage exploded: "The Thirteen Realms Intense Light Resonance is so epic! I have goosebumps!" "Little Whale Spirit is the god forever! We couldn't have won without it!" "The Dark Crystal Mother Core is finally gone! The extraterrestrial starry sky is bright!" Purple Moon leaned against the Mothership's railing, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Thank you all... the Dark Crystal Mother Core has been cleared, and we no longer need to worry about it wreaking havoc on other galaxies."

Section 5 Ending: Destruction of the Mother Core and Foreshadowing of Void Realm Energy.

After the Dark Crystal Mother Core was completely destroyed, a "Universal Extraterrestrial Star Map" appeared on the Alliance Mothership's screen—the Sources of Martial Tradition of 115 galaxies were connected by lines of different colors, the location of the Dark Crystal Mother Core had turned into a pale white light, and even the areas previously swallowed by darkness had regained vitality. Chen Wu looked at the map, his voice firm: "We have cleared the Dark Crystal Mother Core, but our mission is not over yet—there is residual Dark Crystal energy in the Void Realm, and there are still many traditional martial artists in galaxies we haven't found. We must go and help them!"

Purple Moon took a fragment of an Intense Light Crystal from her bosom and handed it to Chen Wu: "This fragment can sense signals from the Void Realm. There is 'Void Realm Energy' fluctuating there, which is stranger than Dark Crystal energy; it can distort light and devour Qi Energy techniques. We must hurry and upgrade our anti-Void Realm equipment." Little Whale Spirit pressed the intense light ball against the fragment, and the fragment immediately lit up, projecting an image of the Void Realm—the area was a piece of twisted darkness, wrapped in pale black Void Realm energy, and a figure wrapped in Void Realm Energy was waving at the lens, clearly a new branch of traditional martial arts.

"That's a traditional martial artist from the Void Realm galaxy! Their Qi Energy techniques can resist Void Realm energy!" Xiao Juan's eyes lit up, and the intense light sensing film on her gloves lit up as well, "I can communicate with their Void Realm Energy; they said Void Realm energy is about to envelop the Source of Martial Tradition!" Ling leaned over and poked the image: "Yo, another new area? This time I'll definitely charge in first, and I won't let energy devour my Qi Energy techniques again!" Everyone laughed, the previous tension was all gone, leaving only anticipation for the future.

When the Alliance Mothership was preparing to leave, the crystal dust of the Dark Crystal Mother Core shot out a wisp of pale white light, coiling around the fusion jade—the Thirteen Energies on the jade, wrapped in galaxy energy, Amethyst light, and intense light, shone blindingly. Purple Moon touched the crystal dust and said softly: "Rest assured, we will go to the Void Realm, help them clear the Void Realm energy, and not let your efforts go to waste."

The final scene of the global live stream showed the Alliance Mothership following the pale white light, sailing toward the direction of the Void Realm, followed by ships from 115 galaxies, like a colorful, luminous long dragon, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the extraterrestrial starry sky. Chen Wu said to the camera: "No matter how far the Void Realm is, no matter how strong the Void Realm energy is, we are not afraid. Because we have traditional martial artists from the entire Universe as our backing, Thirteen Realms + galaxy + intense light energy as our weapons, and partners like Little Whale Spirit. As long as traditional martial arts still exist, our protection will never stop!"
