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

The elite team's arrival temporarily stabilized the fierce battle with the shadow army outside the Immortal Sect. However, the Shadow Cult's offensive remained fierce. The black vortex continuously churned out large numbers of shadow armies, rushing towards us like a tide, seemingly without end.

Lin Xiao, Su Yao, the Immortal Sect patrol disciples, and I worked closely with the elite squad to resist. While I cast spells to repel the approaching shadow army, I kept an eye on the Shadow Bone-Eroding Box. It still emanated a strong, evil aura from the bushes, its runes flickering constantly, as if mocking our powerlessness.

Lin Xiao moved freely among the shadow army, brandishing his sword with great vigor, each stroke of his sword energy precisely slicing through the enemy. However, fatigue gradually appeared on his face. After all, the continuous fighting had greatly consumed both his physical and spiritual energy.

Su Yao continued to cast auxiliary spells, providing spiritual power and defense enhancement for everyone. However, her forehead was also covered with sweat. Although her hand seals were still skillful, it was obvious that she was a little exhausted.

The Immortal Sect's patrolling disciples also gritted their teeth, unleashing every ounce of their might to engage the shadow army. Though slightly outmatched in strength, their tenacious will and tacit coordination made them an indispensable contribution to this battle.

The elite team's elders and disciples played a pivotal role. Unleashing a variety of powerful spells, the elders pushed back the shadow hordes, buying us precious breathing space. Not to be outdone, the elite disciples engaged in a fierce confrontation with the shadow hordes, either slashing enemies with fierce attacks or evading them with deft maneuvers.

But as time went on, we felt the growing severity of the situation. The shadow army's numbers didn't seem to diminish despite our resistance, but instead grew larger and larger. The black vortex was like a bottomless pit, constantly spewing out evil power.

"We can't go on like this. We must find a way to crack the 'Shadow Bone-Eroding Box' as soon as possible, otherwise the Immortal Sect will be breached sooner or later!" An elder shouted anxiously, his eyes fixed on the box emitting an evil aura, his eyes full of worry.

At this moment, the elders researching the clues relayed news via a magical communication device. They had discovered some records of similarly evil magical weapons within the ancient texts of the Immortal Sect's Scripture Library. While these records weren't specifically specific to the "Shadow Erosion Bone Box," some of the principles and methods of deciphering them might offer some insight.

"According to ancient records, the core of this magic weapon that can open a space channel and release evil forces is often a special evil spirit stone. As long as we find and destroy this evil spirit stone, the magic weapon will lose its effect." The voice of an elder who was researching clues came from the communication magic weapon.

"But the 'Shadow Erosion Bone Box' is surrounded by an evil aura. How easy is it to approach and find the evil spirit stone?" I said with a frown, knowing in my heart that this was another huge problem.

"It's okay. We can first try to use powerful spiritual power to dispel the evil aura around us, and then carefully look for the location of the evil spirit stone." Another elder suggested.

When everyone heard this, they thought this plan was feasible, and immediately decided to form an assault team consisting of several powerful elders and elite disciples to specifically try to crack the "Shadow Erosion Bone Box".

The assault team sprang into action, gathering all their spiritual energy and launching a fierce attack on the evil aura surrounding the Shadow Bone Box. Brilliant, colorful rays of spiritual energy shot towards the black evil aura like cannonballs, emitting a deafening roar.

Initially, the evil aura was extremely tenacious. Although it fluctuated slightly under the impact of spiritual power, it still tightly surrounded the "Shadow Erosion Bone Box" and refused to dissipate. However, the assault team did not give up. They constantly adjusted the output of spiritual power and the angle of attack, and continued to attack.

After much hard work, a fierce spiritual impact finally created a gap in the evil aura surrounding the Shadow Bone Box. The assault team seized this opportunity and rushed into the gap without hesitation.

By this time, they were very close to the Shadow Bone-Eroding Box, and could clearly see the shimmering runes and the evil aura emanating from it. But they dared not slack off, as time was running out. Every second, more shadow armies could emerge, threatening the safety of the Immortal Sect.

"Everyone, look carefully and see if you can find the location of the evil spirit stone!" An elder in the assault team whispered. Everyone nodded and began to search carefully around the box.

Their eyes roamed over every corner and every rune on the box, trying to locate the crucial evil spirit stone. Suddenly, an elite disciple's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a spot at the bottom of the box and said, "Elder, look here. The light here is different from the rest. Could this be where the evil spirit stone is?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused their attention on that area. After careful observation, they discovered that there was indeed a black stone there, engraved with strange runes, and emitting an even stronger evil aura than other places.

"It is very likely this! Everyone, get ready to attack this stone and make sure to destroy it!" said the elder solemnly.

The members of the assault team adjusted their states, gathered the remaining spiritual power in their bodies together again, and prepared to launch a final attack on the stone that was suspected to be an evil spirit stone.

Just as they were about to launch their attack, a powerful evil force suddenly emerged from the black vortex and rushed straight towards the assault team. This evil force was like a ferocious beast, tearing the air apart wherever it passed, emitting a piercing whistling sound.

"Oh no, everyone be careful!" the elder shouted loudly, and everyone quickly cast defensive spells to try to resist this sudden attack.

But this evil force was too powerful, and the assault team's defenses instantly collapsed under its impact. The team members were violently hit by this force, flying backwards and falling heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, are we going to fail at the last moment?" an elite disciple shouted angrily. He struggled to stand up, but found that he had been seriously injured.

However, just when everyone thought this cracking operation was about to fail, I suddenly remembered a special spell in the inherited secret manual. This spell can temporarily absorb the surrounding evil energy and transform it into one's own spiritual power. Although it is extremely risky, I have no choice but to take the risk and give it a try.

"Don't lose heart, I have a way!" I shouted loudly, and then quickly rushed towards the evil force.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao, Su Yao and other disciples of the Immortal Sect screamed, "Lin Yun, are you crazy?" But I ignored their shouts. I had only one thought in my mind, and that was to destroy the "Shadow Erosion Bone Box" and save the Immortal Sect.

When I rushed to the front of the evil force, I quickly cast the special spell according to the method in the inherited secret manual. My body began to emit a layer of golden light, which was like a large net, slowly enveloping the evil force.

As I cast the spell, the evil force began to be absorbed into my body. I felt a tremendous chill and evil aura surge through my body, as if it were freezing my soul. But I gritted my teeth and persevered, constantly practicing the spiritual power conversion method from the inherited secret manual, trying to transform this evil force into my own spiritual power.

With my efforts, I gradually absorbed the evil force, and my body was on the verge of collapse due to the huge pressure. But I knew that now was not the time to fall, I had to complete the final mission.

I endured the discomfort and rushed towards the Shadow Bone Box again. At this time, the members of the assault team also struggled to stand up. Seeing my bravery, they also rekindled their fighting spirit and followed me to rush towards the box.

When we reached the box again, we attacked the suspected evil spirit stone without hesitation. We gathered all the remaining spiritual energy in our bodies, transforming it into brilliant, colorful rays of spiritual light, and blasted it towards the stone.

This time, our attack finally worked. With a crisp cracking sound, the black stone shattered instantly under our combined attack, emitting a pungent black smoke.

As the evil spirit stone shattered, the rune light on the "Shadow Bone Box" instantly went out, the black vortex began to slowly shrink, and the surging shadow army became smaller and smaller, until it finally stopped completely.

"Success! We succeeded!" The disciples of the Immortal Sect shouted excitedly, their faces filled with joyful smiles, their eyes full of fatigue but hope.

At this moment, the fierce battle outside the Immortal Sect has finally seen a turning point. We have successfully cracked the threat of the "Shadow Bone-Eroding Box" and repelled the shadow army. However, we also know that this is only a temporary victory in the battle between good and evil in the Shadow Cult. More challenges await us in the future, and we must remain vigilant and continue to work hard to protect the Immortal Sect and the world of immortal cultivation.
