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

After successfully dealing with the statue's attack, Lin Yun stood before the massive statue and breathed a sigh of relief. However, his nerves remained tense, and his gaze scanned his surroundings with vigilance. While his recent battle with the statue had temporarily averted danger, he knew that every corner of this mysterious castle held hidden secrets, and he must remain vigilant.

The circular hall they were in was now illuminated by the softly glowing crystals in the dome. The light filtered down onto the transparent crystal floor, making the multicolored, shimmering liquid beneath even more visible. The liquid seemed to come alive, flowing slowly, as if telling the castle's ancient and mysterious story.

Lin Yun was secretly pondering how to explore the castle's secrets when he suddenly felt something strange in the air around him. A subtle chill washed over him from all directions, causing him to shiver. This chill wasn't just ordinary cold; it carried a chilling, soul-piercing feeling, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

"Su Yao, do you feel that the hall has suddenly become cold? And there is a very strange feeling, as if... as if something is approaching us quietly." Lin Yun lowered his voice and said to Su Yao beside him, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Su Yao also frowned. She closed her eyes and tried to feel the spiritual fluctuations around her. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said solemnly, "Lin Yun, I feel a very obscure spiritual fluctuation. It seems to be gradually forming a special field. This situation is not right. We have to be careful."

As the two spoke, the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy grew stronger, quickly forming a massive black halo around them. Like a devouring black hole, the halo spun continuously, emitting a thick, shadowy aura. Before Lin Yun and Su Yao could react, the halo suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping them both.

Lin Yun felt his vision go black, and then he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. All around him was a dark wilderness, and the sky was thick with dark clouds, pressing down heavily, as if to crush the entire world. A howling wind blew, picking up sand and rocks from the ground, hitting him painfully.

"Where... where is this? Su Yao, where are you?" Lin Yun shouted loudly, his heart filled with panic and confusion. He tried to circulate his spiritual power, but found that the spiritual power here seemed to be imprisoned by a mysterious force, becoming very slow and difficult to mobilize.

Just when he was extremely anxious, Su Yao's response came from not far away: "Lin Yun, I'm here! This seems to be an illusion. We have to find a way to get out."

Lin Yun ran in the direction of the sound and finally saw Su Yao. At this time, Su Yao's face was slightly pale, and she was obviously worried about this sudden change.

"This must be a trap set by the Shadow Cult, trying to trap us, or even... destroy us," Lin Yun said through gritted teeth, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He knew in his heart that they had to find a flaw in this illusion as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Well, let's look around first. Maybe we can find some clues or hints to figure out what this illusion is about." Su Yao said. She forced herself to remain calm and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Lin Yun and Su Yao moved forward cautiously in this dim wilderness illusion. The strong wind was still raging, making it almost impossible for them to stand steadily. The surrounding scenery seemed to be nothing special except for the barren sand and a few protruding boulders.

However, when they walked to a huge rock, they found a strange phenomenon. The rock was engraved with some strange symbols and patterns, which emitted a faint dark red light, which was particularly eye-catching in this dim environment.

"Lin Yun, look at these symbols and patterns. They seem a little special. Maybe they are related to this illusion." Su Yao said, pointing to the symbols on the boulder.

Lin Yun squatted down and carefully observed the symbols. He found that the shape and arrangement of the symbols seemed to imply a certain order, and the dark red light they emitted seemed to flicker regularly with the wind.

"Su Yao, I think these symbols may be the key to unlocking this illusion. We have to find a way to figure out their meaning." Lin Yun stood up and said solemnly.

Just as the two were about to study the symbols further, a low roar suddenly came from a distance. The sound was like a demon from hell, and it made people shudder.

"Oh no, something seems to be coming!" Lin Yun clenched his fists vigilantly. Although it was difficult to mobilize his spiritual power, he was ready to fight to the death.

Su Yao also became nervous. She stood beside Lin Yun, her eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from.

As the roar grew closer, a massive black monster appeared within their sight. The creature was massive, standing tens of feet tall, its entire body covered in black scales, each emitting a cold, shimmering luster. Its head resembled a ferocious dragon, its maw gaping, sharp fangs bared, and black smoke continuously belched from its mouth.

"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so powerful!" Lin Yun was shocked. He knew very well that with their current limited spiritual power, it would be extremely difficult to deal with such a monster.

When the monster saw Lin Yun and Su Yao, it didn't stop at all and pounced directly at them. It ran, and the ground trembled. Every step it took left a huge deep pit in the sand.

Seeing this, Lin Yun hurriedly pulled Su Yao to the side to dodge. But the monster was so fast that it adjusted its direction in an instant and rushed towards them again.

"Lin Yun, this is not a solution. We have to find its weakness!" Su Yao shouted loudly, her voice trembling a little in the strong wind.

Lin Yun dodged the monster's attacks while rapidly thinking of a countermeasure. He knew that now he could only rely on his combat experience and wisdom to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

Suddenly, he discovered that every time the monster spewed out black smoke, its movements would become slightly slower, and its eyes would become a little blurry at that moment, as if its vision was affected by the smoke.

"Su Yao, I seem to have found the weakness of this monster! After it spews out black smoke, its movements will slow down and its eyes will become blurred. Let's find an opportunity to attack it at that time!" Lin Yun shouted loudly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Su Yao was cheered up when she heard this, and immediately responded: "Okay, Lin Yun, I will cooperate with you to the best of my ability!"

In this wild fantasy world ravaged by strong winds, Lin Yun and Su Yao engaged in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the huge black monster.

Lin Yun saw the perfect moment. When the monster began to spew out black smoke again, its movements began to slow down, and its eyes became blurry, he shouted, "Now!"

Although it was difficult to mobilize his spiritual power, Lin Yun relied on his strong physical fitness to rush towards the monster. He clenched his fists and, with all his strength, smashed hard into the monster's blurred eyes.

At the same time, Su Yao, regardless of the difficulty of her own limited spiritual power, cast a simple auxiliary spell, gathering her only spiritual power on Lin Yun, and enhancing his strength a little.

Lin Yun's fist smashed heavily into the monster's eye. A dull thud echoed, and the monster roared in pain. A crack suddenly appeared in its eye, and black blood gushed out from the crack.

"Success!" Lin Yun and Su Yao shouted in surprise at the same time.

However, the monster was very powerful after all. After being hit, it did not fall down, but became even more furious. It waved its huge claws wildly and grabbed Lin Yun and Su Yao indiscriminately.

Lin Yun and Su Yao gritted their teeth and continued to dodge the monster's attacks, while looking for the next opportunity to counterattack.

After narrowly dodging the monster's attack once again, Lin Yun suddenly discovered a spiritual bead emitting a faint blue light within the monster's abdomen. Embedded between the monster's scales, the bead was barely visible, yet the blue light was remarkably pure, forming a stark contrast to the dark and sinister surroundings.

"Su Yao, look at the spirit pearl in the monster's belly. Maybe that is its weak spot. If we can take it off, maybe we can defeat this monster!" Lin Yun said, pointing to the spirit pearl in the monster's belly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Su Yao looked in the direction Lin Yun pointed and found the spirit bead. She nodded and said, "Well, it's possible, but it's not easy to get the spirit bead. We have to be careful."

Lin Yun and Su Yao adjusted their strategy again. While dodging the monster's attacks, they tried to get close to its abdomen, intending to seize the spirit pearl.

The monster seemed to have sensed their intentions, and it protected its abdomen even more frantically, not giving Lin Yun and Su Yao any chance to get close.

But Lin Yun and Su Yao did not give up. In the gaps between dodging and attacking, they gradually found some patterns in the monster's defense. Finally, during a gap in the monster's attack, Lin Yun seized the opportunity and rushed towards the monster's belly at the fastest speed.

At the same time, Su Yao also cast a short interference spell to distract the monster's attention slightly.

Lin Yun reached out and grabbed the blue-glowing spirit pearl. The moment he grasped it, a powerful spiritual energy surged into his body, and the previously trapped spiritual energy began to flow again.

"Great, this spirit bead can restore spiritual power!" Lin Yun shouted in surprise.

With the spiritual power restored by the spirit pearl, Lin Yun and Su Yao's strength increased greatly. They joined forces again and launched a fierce attack on the monster that was already furious to the extreme.

Lin Yun held the sword in his hand and poured his spiritual energy into it. The sword instantly shone brightly. He unleashed a series of sharp sword energies and slashed at the monster fiercely.

Su Yao also cast various powerful spells to provide assistance and support to Lin Yun.

Under the combined attack of the two, the huge black monster finally couldn't hold on. After letting out a shrill scream, it fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a ball of black smoke and gradually dissipating in this wilderness illusion.

As the monster disappeared, the surrounding illusion began to change. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, the strong wind gradually subsided, and the originally dim wilderness began to brighten.

"It seems that this monster is the key to this illusion. Once we defeat it, the illusion will begin to collapse." Lin Yun said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Well, but we can't take it lightly. This is just one of the difficulties. There will definitely be more challenges waiting for us later." Su Yao said. She also breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still revealed vigilance.

At this moment, a shimmering passage appeared not far ahead of them. The passage seemed to lead to an unknown place, and within it, perhaps, the key to unlocking the secrets of the Shadow Cult and finding a way out of here was hidden.

Lin Yun and Su Yao looked at each other, then walked towards the passage without hesitation, ready to meet new challenges.
