Rise of the Otherworld.

As the rune light flickered, everyone's heart was in their throat again. Lin Yu stared at the door, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, his eyes full of tension and expectation.

"Everyone, keep going! Hold on!" he shouted, his voice filled with anxiety. The voice was particularly loud in this silent and stressful environment, as if it was the only motivation for them to persevere.

Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth and channeled their spiritual energy continuously. Their faces had turned pale from the excessive exertion, but their eyes were filled with determination. Everyone knew that this was a crucial step towards the unknown, and they could not give up at this moment.

Finally, after a burst of intense light, the door to the ruins slowly opened. The light, like the breaking dawn, illuminated the hopeful faces of the crowd. From within the door, an ancient and mysterious aura emanated, carrying with it the weight of time and the mysteries of the unknown, leaving one feeling awe-inspiring.

"Success!" a disciple shouted excitedly. His voice trembled with excitement, and his face was filled with a joyful smile.

However, before they could be happy for long, a powerful airflow suddenly surged out from the door, knocking everyone to the ground. The airflow was like a violent storm, with irresistible force.

Lin Yu stood up quickly and looked inside the door vigilantly. He saw a huge space inside the door, surrounded by thick fog, making it difficult to see what was inside. The fog seemed to have life, flowing slowly, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Everyone be careful, this place may not be simple." Lin Yu warned. His voice was low and serious, and he gripped the sword tighter.

Everyone walked cautiously into the door. As soon as they stepped in, they felt a strong pressure coming over them, making their movements slow down. Every step they took seemed to require a huge amount of effort.

"What kind of power is this?" a disciple asked with difficulty, his voice filled with confusion and fear, his body trembling slightly under the pressure.

At this moment, a deep roar emanated from the mist. It sounded like the roar of an ancient beast, sending chills down one's spine. The sound waves reverberated through the air, jarring everyone's eardrums.

"Oh no, there's something!" Xiaoyaozi shouted. His voice was full of alertness, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

A gigantic monster slowly emerged from the mist. Its bulk was as large as a mountain, its massive body seemingly capable of blocking out the sun and sky. Its body was covered in sharp thorns, which gleamed coldly in the light, sending shivers down its spines. Its blood-red eyes shone with a terrifying light, seemingly able to penetrate the fear within everyone.

"What...what kind of monster is this?" The disciples retreated in fear. Their steps were hurried, and their faces were filled with terror.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and gripped the sword tightly in his hand, "Don't be afraid, let's go together!" His voice was firm and powerful, giving everyone a little courage.

After saying that, he rushed towards the monster first. His figure was like a flash of lightning, and he was in front of the monster in an instant. The monster waved its huge claws and slapped Lin Yu. The claws brought a whirring sound, as if they could smash everything into pieces.

Lin Yu dodged to the side, his movements as nimble as a monkey. The sword in his hand chopped at the monster's legs, and the sword and leg collided, splashing a string of sparks.

The monster roared in pain. The roar was deafening, shaking the entire space. It attacked everyone even more frantically, each attack carrying a deadly threat.

Everyone unleashed their unique skills in a desperate fight with the monster. Flames, ice, and lightning intertwined, illuminating the dark space.

But the monster's defense was extremely strong, and the attacks of the crowd did not seem to cause much damage to it.

Facing this powerful monster, can they overcome their fear and achieve victory?

As time passed, everyone's physical and spiritual strength were rapidly consumed.

Lin Yu also began to feel anxious. He knew that if this continued, they would all die here.

How should he lead everyone out of this predicament?
