Ye Yuanchen and his companions faced off against the black-robed wizard, the atmosphere tense as a taut bowstring, ready to snap at any moment. The black-robed wizard waved his wand, and the dark power surrounding the temple surged towards them like a raging tide. From the darkness, various grotesque phantoms appeared, emitting chilling roars, attempting to mentally intimidate the alliance members.

"Don't be fooled by these illusions, stay alert!" Ye Yuanchen shouted, brandishing the Spirit Void Holy Sword. Golden sword light tore through the darkness, shattering the approaching illusions. The power of the sacred artifact flowed through the sword, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the surrounding darkness.

Mu Wanyue wielded her Spirit Whip, the pink and rainbow-colored whip shadows dancing in the air like a nimble dragon, lashing at the phantoms. As she attacked, she shouted encouragement, "Everyone, stay calm! Follow the training methods!"

Lu Zixuan swiftly set up a defensive array around everyone. The array flashed with light, forming a sturdy shield to withstand the impact of the dark power. While manipulating the array, he shouted to the members of the mortal realm, "Everyone, prepare to attack! Follow my command!"

The members of the mortal realm gripped the weapons forged by A-Qiang, their eyes resolute, awaiting Lu Zixuan's commands. A-Qiang, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination, gripped his battle axe tightly and whispered, "This time, we'll show this dark wizard our power!"

Lingyue and her companions from the Spirit Clan used spiritual magic to communicate with the surrounding natural forces. They summoned a raging wind in an attempt to disperse the dark power, while simultaneously harnessing the power of plants to sprout sharp thorns from the ground, aiming them at the black-robed wizard.

The black-robed wizard sneered, waving his wand once more. A bolt of black lightning shot from the tip of the wand, instantly striking the thorns on the ground and turning them to ashes. Then, he chanted incantations, and dark power condensed into a gigantic dark hand, reaching out to grab the group.

Seeing this, Ye Yuanchen unleashed an enhanced version of the "Spirit Realm Chaos Suppressing God Technique." The Spirit Void Holy Sword shone brightly, and a massive golden sword aura shot into the sky, slashing towards the Dark Hand. The golden sword aura collided with the Dark Hand, unleashing a deafening roar, and cracks appeared in the Dark Hand under the impact of the sword aura.

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Feng charged towards the black-robed wizard with lightning speed. His longsword gleamed with spiritual energy as he unleashed a fierce swordsmanship, each strike aimed at the wizard's vitals. The black-robed wizard, however, remained calm. He slightly shifted his body, easily dodging Ling Feng's attacks, and simultaneously swung his wand, sending a surge of dark energy striking Ling Feng, knocking him back several feet.

"Ling Feng!" Ling Yue exclaimed in alarm. Her heart was filled with anxiety, and she immediately focused her mind, establishing a stronger connection with the spiritual plants in the valley. In an instant, the trees around the temple stretched out thick branches, like giant ropes, and began to wrap around the black-robed wizard.

The black-robed wizard was entangled in tree branches, his movements restricted. Lu Zixuan seized this opportunity, commanding the mortal members to launch an attack. A-Qiang led the group, hurling their spiritual arrows and bombs at the black-robed wizard. Explosions erupted one after another, and the black-robed wizard was enveloped in flames and spiritual light.

However, as the light faded, the black-robed wizard reappeared. His robes were somewhat tattered, but his eyes were even more ferocious. He roared furiously, "You ants, how dare you defy me! Today, I will make you pay a terrible price!"

The black-robed wizard raised his wand high, and dark power surged around him. His body began to swell, and the dark aura grew increasingly intense, as if it would devour the entire temple.

"Oh no! He's about to launch an even stronger attack! Everyone, concentrate your strength to defend!" Ye Yuanchen shouted. He continuously poured the power of the sacred artifact into the defensive formation, enhancing its defensive capabilities. Mu Wanyue, Lu Zixuan, Ling Yue, and the others also poured their own spiritual power into the formation, joining Ye Yuanchen in resisting the impending attack.

The black-robed wizard let out a deafening roar, then slammed his wand into the ground. A powerful surge of dark energy emanated from him, spreading outwards. Wherever the dark energy touched, the ground cracked, trees were uprooted, and defensive formations trembled violently under the impact of this powerful force, their light flickering erratically.

The alliance members felt immense pressure, gritting their teeth and doing their utmost to maintain the stability of the formation. Ye Yuanchen knew that such passive defense was not a solution, so he resisted the impact of the dark energy while pondering countermeasures.

Suddenly, he noticed that when the black-robed wizard launched his attack, the black crystal at the tip of his wand would flash with a special light, and the intensity of the dark energy would change with each flash.

"I have an idea! Listen everyone, the black-robed wizard's attack is likely concentrated in the black crystal at the tip of his wand. If we can destroy the crystal, we can neutralize his attack!" Ye Yuanchen shouted.

Upon hearing this, hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts. They began to adjust their tactics, preparing to launch a new attack on the black-robed wizard.

Mu Wanyue wielded the Spirit Whip, unleashing the ultimate move, "Spirit Dance Illusion Whip Void Break." The whip transformed into countless streaks of light in the air, resembling a giant blooming lotus flower, flying towards the black-robed wizard. The lotus-like light and shadow contained powerful spiritual energy, attempting to entangle the black-robed wizard's body and restrict his movements.

Lu Zixuan adjusted the flow of spiritual energy within the formation, transforming it from a defensive array into an offensive one. He manipulated the formation, unleashing powerful beams of spiritual energy that shot towards the black-robed wizard's wand like meteors.

Ling Feng charged at the black-robed wizard again, his body ablaze with raging spiritual flames, his longsword imbued with all his power. He seized the moment when the black-robed wizard was entangled by the light and shadow of the spirit whip, leaped high into the air, and slashed at the wizard's wand.

Lingyue and her companions from the Spirit Clan were not idle either. They used their spiritual magic to summon a massive storm. The storm, carrying countless sharp ice shards, howled towards the black-robed wizard, further hindering his movements.

Faced with the combined attack of the group, the black-robed wizard appeared somewhat flustered. He tried to break free from the restraints of the spirit whip while simultaneously defending against the attacks of the spiritual energy pillars and ice shards. However, the group's attacks were relentless and overwhelming, making it difficult for him to cope.

Ling Feng finally seized an opportunity, his longsword slamming into the black-robed wizard's wand. With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the black crystal at the tip of the wand.

The black-robed wizard let out a painful scream, and his attack weakened instantly. With Ye Yuanchen and the others maintaining the defensive formation, it gradually stabilized.

"Strike while the iron is hot, keep attacking!" Ye Yuanchen shouted.

The group launched another attack: Ling Feng's longsword, Lu Zixuan's pillar of spiritual energy, Mu Wanyue's spiritual whip, and Ling Yue's summoned storm of ice shards all focused on the black-robed wizard.

Under the combined attack of the group, cracks began to appear on the black-robed wizard's body, and dark power surged from it. Finally, he let out a desperate roar, and his body turned into a cloud of black smoke, dissipating into the air.

As the black-robed wizard vanished, the dark power surrounding the temple quickly dissipated, and sunlight once again bathed the land. The alliance members looked at each other, smiles of relief on their faces. They had successfully defeated the black-robed wizard and completed their arduous trial in Shadow Valley.

Ye Yuanchen looked at the alliance members, his eyes filled with approval: "You all did a great job! Through this trial, you not only improved your strength, but also understood the importance of teamwork. In the future, we will face more challenges, but as long as we are united, nothing can stop our determination to protect the Three Realms."

The alliance members shouted in unison, their voices echoing through Shadow Valley, filled with confidence and power. This trial was a significant step in their growth, further solidifying their belief in protecting the Three Realms. With this conviction, they left Shadow Valley, ready to face future challenges and continue their struggle for peace and tranquility in the Three Realms.
