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

A storm raged across the wilderness, and icy rain lashed us like sharp arrows, each drop carrying a powerful force, attempting to extinguish the fighting spirit within us. But we knew we couldn't retreat at this moment. Those crucial clues to the fate of the immortal world must be brought safely back to the Immortal Sect, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

I closed my eyes tightly and concentrated with all my might, trying to stabilize the flow of my spiritual energy despite the turbulent storm. Rain streamed down my cheeks, blurring my vision, but it couldn't dim the resolve within me. I quickly reviewed the various techniques from the inherited manual, searching for an attack method that would maximize its effectiveness in this harsh environment.

Lin Xiao also struggled tenaciously against the effects of the rain. He gripped his sword tightly in both hands. The rain soaked his clothes, but it only made the light in his eyes even sharper. He hunched his body slightly, like a lone wolf defending its territory in a storm. With his exquisite control of the sword and his powerful spiritual power, he was ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Su Yao tightly closed her lips, the sweat on her forehead mixed with the rain and flowed down her face. She was concentrating on sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her. Although the interference of the rain made this extremely difficult, she relied on her extraordinary perception talent to try to capture every movement of the enemy so that she could cast auxiliary spells in time to help everyone turn the tide of the battle.

While resisting the increasingly fierce attacks of the black shadows, the leading elder loudly encouraged everyone: "Hold on, everyone! Although the storm is fierce, the will of us in our immortal sect is stronger! Concentrate, find their flaws, and break through in one fell swoop!" His voice echoed in the wind and rain, like a bright lamp, guiding us in this dark predicament.

As we struggled to hold on, I suddenly noticed a subtle shift. As the black-robed figure continuously strengthened the shadows, I discovered that each time he cast a spell, the fluctuations of his spiritual energy would momentarily experience a tiny pause. This pause, though brief, might hold the key to our breakthrough.

"Everyone, pay attention!" I shouted, my voice resounding over the roar of the wind and rain. "Every time that black-robed fellow casts a spell to enhance the shadow's strength, the fluctuations of his spiritual energy stagnate for a moment. We can take advantage of this opportunity to attack him and perhaps break the deadlock!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in everyone's eyes. Although they were exhausted and severely affected by the rain, they quickly adjusted themselves and focused all their attention on the black-robed figure.

When the black-robed figure raised his hands again, muttering something and preparing to cast a spell to increase the shadow's strength, all of us held our breath and stared at him, waiting for that moment of stagnation to come.

Finally, while he was chanting the spell, the fluctuation of spiritual power paused briefly as I expected.

"Now!" I shouted, launching the attack. I unleashed the spiritual energy I'd long accumulated within me, using a special explosive attack technique from a secret manual. A brilliant golden beam of spiritual energy, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, shot through the rain, straight towards the black-robed figure. This beam, embodying all the power I could muster at the moment, instantly evaporated the rain wherever it passed, transforming into a white cloud of vapor.

Lin Xiao and Su Yao followed without hesitation. Lin Xiao shouted, charging towards the black-robed figure like lightning. As he ran, he raised his sword high, its spiritual energy radiating brilliantly as he unleashed his most powerful attack—"Sky Shattering Slash." A massive sword energy, seemingly capable of splitting the sky, erupted from the sword, whistling towards the black-robed figure along with my spiritual energy.

Su Yao quickly formed seals with her hands, let out a soft cry, and cast a powerful auxiliary spell. A silver light flew from her hand and instantly merged with Lin Xiao and I's attacks. This light not only enhanced the power of our attacks, but also enabled them to better penetrate the thick layer of evil aura surrounding the black-robed figure.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect also seized this opportunity and each cast their strongest attack spells. Countless colorful spiritual lights converged towards the black-robed figure like meteors, forming a powerful attack torrent.

The black-robed figure clearly hadn't anticipated our ability to seize this momentary weakness. A flicker of panic crossed his face as he sensed the approaching danger. But he was, after all, a prominent figure in the Shadow Cult, and his strength should not be underestimated. In that crucial moment, he forcibly interrupted his spell, quickly forming hand seals with his hands, attempting to erect a defensive barrier.

However, our attack came too fast, and the defensive barrier he hastily erected was simply unable to withstand this powerful combined force.

With a resounding "boom," our attacks struck the black-robed figure simultaneously like cannonballs. The immense force sent him flying backward, tumbling heavily to the ground. The surrounding shadows seemed to lose their backbone in an instant, their attacks becoming chaotic and disorganized.

"Good opportunity! Let's seize the opportunity and get rid of these shadows first, and then deal with him!" The leading elder shouted excitedly when he saw this.

Our morale was boosted, and we took advantage of the shadows' panic to cast various spells and techniques and launched a fierce counterattack against them.

I formed hand seals and cast several group attack spells. Streams of golden spiritual flames rained down from my palms, consuming the surrounding shadows. The flames burned fiercely despite the rain, causing the shadows to writhe in agony, black smoke billowing from them.

Lin Xiao once again charged into the group of shadows, brandishing his sword. Each swing unleashed a stream of incredibly sharp sword energy. Like razor-sharp blades, these sword energies precisely slashed at the approaching shadows, shattering them into fragments. This time, because the black-robed figure had been struck by us, the shadows' recovery abilities seemed to be affected. After being shattered, they didn't regroup as quickly as before.

Su Yao cast a binding spell from the back, and several spiritual ropes flew out of her hands, trying to bind some of the shadows together and restrict their movements. This time, due to the panic of the shadows, the spiritual ropes successfully bound many of them, temporarily losing their ability to attack.

With our concerted efforts, the number of shadows gradually decreased, and their attacks became weaker and weaker. After a hard fight, the last shadow was finally destroyed by our attacks.

The storm was still raging, but a glimmer of hope ignited in our hearts. The black-robed figure was still lying on the ground, but we knew he wouldn't give up and would definitely have another trick up his sleeve.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. The guy in black robe is not dead yet. We have to get rid of him quickly and then return to the Immortal Sect with the clues as soon as possible." I reminded them. As I spoke, I walked towards the black-robed figure, ready to give him the final blow.

When I approached the black-robed figure, he suddenly struggled to sit up. His face was still hidden beneath the black robe, but the evil aura emanating from him was even stronger than before, as if he had been enraged by our attack and released a deeper evil power within him.

"You... think you can defeat me like this? You are too naive..." The black-robed figure said coldly, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness.

With that, he plunged his hands into the ground, muttering something. As he chanted, the ground began to tremble violently. As if drawn by some force, the surrounding rainwater gathered toward him, forming a massive ball of water. Under his control, the ball spun continuously, emitting a powerful, oppressive feeling.

"Everyone be careful, he's going to attack again!" I shouted loudly, quickly taking a few steps back, and at the same time gathering the remaining spiritual power in my body into my palm again, preparing to meet his new round of attack.

Lin Xiao, Su Yao and the disciples of the Immortal Sect were also on high alert, ready to engage in the final life-and-death duel with the black-robed figure.

In this stormy wilderness, the fierce battle against the Shadow Cult is about to reach its final conclusion. Can we completely defeat this black-robed figure, return safely to the Immortal Sect with the key clues, and protect the hope of the immortal world? Everything depends on this one move.
