I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Chapter 173 Whirlpool Crisis and Saint Crystal Dawn

Lin Yun and the others were pulled by the powerful suction of the spiritual power vortex, and were involuntarily flying rapidly towards the center of the vortex. The spiritual power storm raged around them, scraping across their bodies like countless sharp blades. Under the impact of this violent force, the spiritual power shield flickered and was almost broken.

Everyone only felt the whistling of wind in their ears and their heads felt dizzy. The powerful suction force seemed to be sucking the spiritual power out of their bodies. Their limbs also became heavier and heavier, and they were unable to break free from this terrible bondage.

"Everyone, don't panic. Try to circulate your spiritual energy and steady yourself. We'll find a solution together!" Lin Yun shouted loudly amid the howling wind. Although he himself was in an extremely dangerous situation, he still tried to calm everyone's mind. Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly forced themselves to be alert and tried their best to circulate their spiritual energy, trying to resist the suction. However, the power of the vortex was too strong. Their efforts seemed to be a drop in the bucket, and they continued to move closer to the center of the vortex.

Just when everyone felt that they were about to be crushed by the endless suction force, a dazzling light suddenly flashed before their eyes. Then, everyone felt their bodies lighten, and the violent spiritual power storm around them disappeared in an instant, replaced by a quiet and mysterious space.

They were in a vast circular space, its walls studded with countless softly glowing spirit crystals, illuminating the space as brightly as day. In the center of the space hovered a suspended stone platform, upon which rested a crystal emitting a strange brilliance. Pure spiritual energy lingered around the crystal, forming a stark contrast to the sinister aura surrounding it. It was the "Primordial Saint Crystal" they had so desperately sought.

However, there is a transparent spiritual barrier around the stone platform, with complex runes flashing on the barrier. It is obviously a powerful restriction to prevent others from easily approaching and obtaining the holy crystal.

"I didn't expect that I would be sucked in by accident and actually find the Holy Crystal directly. But this restriction looks difficult to deal with." Lin Yun said with a frown. Everyone also came back to their senses from the thrill just now. Looking at the scene in front of them, they were both happy and worried. They knew that if they wanted to get the Holy Crystal, they had to break through this spiritual barrier first.

Everyone approached the spiritual barrier cautiously, carefully examining the runes. These runes were different from any they had seen before, imbued with an ancient and mysterious aura. The spiritual energy between the runes flowed in a rhythmic pattern, as if forming a perfect cycle. Trying to break it by force would likely trigger an extremely powerful backlash.

With her keen perception of spiritual runes, Su Yao whispered, "This restriction seems to be related to spatial spiritual power. It uses the power of the surrounding spiritual crystals to maintain its stability. We may be able to start by cutting off its spiritual connection with the spiritual crystals and try to find a flaw."

Everyone heard this and thought it made sense, so they dispersed and began to examine the connection between the spiritual barrier and the surrounding walls. Lin Yun closed his eyes and sent out his spiritual power, feeling its flow, trying to find the key spiritual power vein hidden behind the runes, connecting the spiritual crystal to the barrier.

After a careful investigation, Lin Yun finally discovered that at the bottom of the barrier, there were several relatively obscure spiritual power veins. They continuously absorbed spiritual power from the surrounding spiritual crystals and transported it to the runes of the barrier, maintaining the operation of the restriction. This might be the key to the entire restriction and their hope of breaking through.

"I have found the possible key point. Everyone, gather your spiritual power to me first. I will try to cut off these spiritual power veins to see if I can break the restriction." Lin Yun said. Everyone nodded and sent their spiritual power to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun took a deep breath and swung his staff, transforming the gathered spiritual energy into a sharp spiritual blade, which he slashed at the spiritual veins at the bottom of the barrier. The spiritual blade accurately hit the target, and the spiritual veins flickered a few times under the attack of the spiritual blade, and a slight disturbance appeared.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, the entire space suddenly trembled violently, and the spiritual crystals on the walls shone brightly. Then, a group of spiritual puppets rushed out from all directions. These puppets exuded a cold metallic luster, their eyes flashed red, and they held various spiritual weapons in their hands and rushed towards everyone. It was obvious that the guardian power of this restriction sensed that someone was trying to destroy it, and automatically triggered the defense mechanism.

"Be careful, there is a puppet attack!" Lin Yun shouted, and everyone quickly came to their senses, cast spiritual power shields, and prepared to deal with the puppet's attack. They were originally focused on breaking the ban, but now they were caught in a fierce battle again.

The spiritual puppets were extremely fast. They brandished their weapons, bringing up sharp spiritual blades and slashing towards everyone. At the same time, they could flexibly change their formations and cooperate with each other to form a spiritual attack network that enveloped everyone. For a moment, the entire space was filled with spiritual light flashing and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Lin Yun used the spiritual power fusion technique in the "Hunyuan Spirit Method" to fuse spiritual powers of different attributes, turning them into powerful spiritual power beams, which blasted towards the group of puppets. Every time a light beam hit a puppet, a burst of spiritual power sparks would splash out, but the puppet's defense was extremely strong. It was only pushed back a few steps before continuing to attack; Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the spiritual power ripples transformed from the music spread towards the puppets, trying to interfere with their rhythm of movement, but these puppets seemed unaffected by the music and still approached the crowd in an orderly manner; Chen Yu hid his body, shuttled between the puppets, looking for their flaws, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack with his spiritual power dagger, but the puppets looked after each other, making it difficult for him to find a suitable opportunity; Zhao Gang stood in the front again, blocking most of the frontal attacks with his shield. Every time he resisted, his arms were numb and his body was injured in many places, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, never retreating a single step. The crowd and the puppets were caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle.

During the fierce battle, Lin Yun struggled to maintain his spiritual shield while carefully observing the puppets' movements, trying to identify their weaknesses. After some observation, he discovered that while the puppets had excellent overall coordination and formidable defenses, their spiritual energy seemed to come from the point where their soles met the ground. There, a small spiritual core continuously absorbed the spiritual energy within the space, providing the puppets with the energy to move and attack.

"Everyone, pay attention. The puppet's weakness is at the spiritual power core under its feet. Concentrate your strength on attacking there!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. Everyone was cheered up after hearing this. Although they were all exhausted at this moment and most of their spiritual power had been consumed, they still forced themselves to cheer up and wait for the right opportunity to come.

Finally, the puppets launched another attack. The moment they shifted their feet, revealing their spiritual cores, everyone unleashed their remaining spiritual energy at the puppets' feet. Suddenly, a cascade of spiritual energy intertwined, transforming into dazzling and powerful beams that fiercely slammed into the puppets' spiritual cores.

This time the attack was indeed effective. The spiritual power cores under the feet of the puppets that were hit flickered, and their movements became slow. Some puppets even stopped moving, fell to the ground with a bang, and turned into a pile of scrap metal, losing their combat effectiveness.

Seeing this method was effective, the group pressed on, continuing to exploit the puppets' weaknesses and launch attacks. With their concerted efforts, the remaining puppets gradually gave way and were knocked to the ground one after another. The puppet threat in the entire space was completely eliminated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone was exhausted, they knew that now was not the time to rest. They must seize this opportunity to once again break the spiritual barrier and obtain the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal."

So, regardless of their fatigue, everyone came to the spiritual barrier again. Lin Yun followed the method he had found before, carefully gathered the spiritual power into a blade, and slashed towards the spiritual power veins at the bottom of the barrier. This time, everyone was fully focused and ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

Under the continuous attacks of Lin Yun's spiritual blade, the spiritual veins at the bottom of the spiritual barrier finally couldn't bear it and began to break. With a series of "cracking" sounds, those key spiritual veins were completely disconnected, and the rune light on the barrier also dimmed. Cracks began to appear on the entire spiritual barrier. Finally, accompanied by a flash of dazzling light, the spiritual barrier shattered, turned into spots of light and dissipated in the air, and the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" finally appeared in front of everyone without any hindrance.

Lin Yun, filled with excitement, slowly stepped forward and took the "Hunyuan Saint Crystal" into his pocket. The moment he took possession of it, a pure and powerful spiritual energy flowed through his arm and throughout his body, making him feel comfortable and refreshed. His spiritual energy seemed to be nourished and enhanced. Everyone else's faces also showed expressions of relief and joy. After all, this was the second Saint Crystal they had found after so much hardship, and it brought them one step closer to destroying the "World-Destroying Heresy Book."

"Although we have obtained the Holy Crystal now, we cannot be careless. There are so many dangers in this valley. The mysterious evil forces may have noticed the movement here. We have to leave as soon as possible." Lin Yun said, and everyone nodded. They knew that they were still in danger at the moment and had to evacuate as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Holy Crystal and buy time for the subsequent search for other Holy Crystals.

At that moment, everyone prepared to leave this mysterious space and walked towards the exit according to the route they remembered. However, what they didn't know was that outside the valley, pairs of greedy eyes were staring at the entrance of the valley. They seemed to have noticed the changes in the valley and were waiting for them to come out. A new crisis was quietly brewing.

As they finally made their way through the spiritual vortex and reached the valley's exit, a depressing atmosphere overwhelmed them. Outside the valley, a group of black-robed figures had gathered. They were the minions of the mysterious evil force. Their faces wore ferocious grins, their eyes gleaming with greed and ferocity. They were clearly after the Primordial Saint Crystal.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you could actually find the Holy Crystal. But now, hand it over obediently, and maybe we can leave your bodies intact!" The black-robed man in the lead said viciously. After that, he waved his hand, and the black-robed men behind him took out their magic weapons and prepared for battle. A fierce battle was inevitable. Lin Yun and others had just experienced many hardships, and now they had to face this new threat. Can they escape danger again and keep the Holy Crystal?

Facing this group of black-robed men who were coming at them aggressively, although Lin Yun and the others were exhausted, there was no fear in their eyes. They quickly moved together, stood back to back, each holding the magic weapon tightly in their hands, and their spiritual power was secretly circulating in their bodies, preparing to face this life-and-death battle.

"If you want the Holy Crystal, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Lin Yun responded coldly, with a sense of determination in his voice. Everyone was in high spirits. How could they easily give up the Holy Crystal that they had obtained after going through countless hardships and dangers? Even if the other party was more numerous and powerful, they vowed to fight with all their strength to protect this hard-earned achievement. The battle was about to break out. Suddenly, spiritual light flashed outside the valley, and shouts of killing shook the sky. The final victory or defeat was still unknown, and the subsequent story would slowly unfold.
