Chapter 737: This Gift Must Be Taken Back

"You..." Kain stared at Li An, his eyes full of disbelief.

Li An let out a cold laugh: "You think your power is very strong? In truth, it's nothing more than a gift the Shadow of the Abyss gave you. Now, this gift is being taken back."

Saying so, Li An launched his attack once more. This time, every strike was lethal, giving Kain no chance to catch his breath. Finally, under one fierce assault, Kain collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

Li An looked at Kain fallen on the ground, a complex glint flashing through his eyes. He hadn't expected to defeat him in this way. But no matter what, he had already—

The three of them, carrying the two keys, pressed on. At last, they arrived at the Eye of the Abyss. It was an enormous pit, and at its bottom flickered a dim, ghostly light — that was where the Shadow of the Abyss dwelled.

"Li An, are we really going down?" Guo Yao gazed into the bottomless pit, her heart brimming with fear.

Li An tightened his grip on Guo Yao's hand and said firmly: "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

With that, the three of them leapt into the Eye of the Abyss. During the descent, they felt an intense sensation of weightlessness, as if they were about to be sucked into an endless darkness.

At last, they landed at the bottom of the pit. It was pitch-black all around; only the dim glow emitted by the Shadow of the Abyss illuminated their surroundings.

"Li An, what should we do?" Sophia looked at the Shadow of the Abyss before her, a tremor in her voice.

Li An drew a deep breath, steadying the turmoil within. He looked at the two keys in his hand, a determined gleam in his eyes: "We will merge the power of the two keys, then find the Shadow of the Abyss's weakness and seal it away in one strike!"

Saying so, Li An brought the Key of Light and the Key of Darkness together. The two keys emitted a dazzling radiance, then fused into one, forming a divine artifact that shimmered with seven-colored light.

"Is this the key to sealing the Shadow of the Abyss?" Guo Yao gazed at the artifact before her, her eyes full of wonder.

Li An nodded: "That's right. This is the key to sealing the Shadow of the Abyss. Now, we need to find its weakness."

The three of them cautiously approached the Shadow of the Abyss. It looked like a colossal black hole, ceaselessly devouring the light and energy around it.

"Where is its weakness?" Sophia stared at the Shadow of the Abyss, her heart filled with doubt.

Li An observed the Shadow of the Abyss carefully and discovered that at the center of the black hole there was a tiny point of light. Though faint, this point of light was unusually steady, as if it were the very core of the Shadow of the Abyss.

"That's its weakness!" Li An pointed at the light and shouted.

The three of them immediately attacked the light. Their strikes came in an unrelenting storm, but the Shadow of the Abyss seemed utterly unbothered, still devouring the light and energy around it.

"How could this be?" Guo Yao stared at the Shadow of the Abyss, her heart overflowing with despair.

Li An did not give up; he kept attacking while searching for an opening. Finally, under one fierce assault, he spotted a flaw in the Shadow of the Abyss.

"Now!" Li An roared. He mobilized every ounce of strength in his body and hurled the artifact toward the light.

The artifact traced a brilliant arc through the air and struck the light dead-on. The light suddenly erupted with a dazzling radiance, then rapidly spread outward, completely enveloping the Shadow of the Abyss within it..
