Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

"Roar!" The behemoth roared in pain. Runes and the greatsword left a deep, bone-revealing wound on its head, from which black blood gushed out, emitting an unbearable stench.

Seeing the giant beast injured, everyone's spirits lifted, and a spark of hope ignited in their hearts.

However, there was a strange excitement in the beast's roar.

Its wounded body shimmered with an ominous black light, and the surrounding space began to distort, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

An even more terrifying aura emanated from the giant beast, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Ye Yunjian's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.

He sensed that the behemoth's rage had reached its peak, and it was brewing an even more terrifying attack.

"Not good..." Ye Yunjian roared, suddenly looking up at the giant beast's eyes, only to find a cunning glint in those scarlet eyes...

"It's laughing..."

Fighting against a colossal beast in dire circumstances, they finally uncovered the secrets and returned with precious treasures.

The black light emanating from the behemoth grew stronger and stronger, like a black sun in the sky, making the already dim space even more eerie.

It let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves swept over like a tidal wave, making everyone's eardrums ache and their internal organs feel as if they had shifted.

The entire space trembled, gravel fell in a flurry, and the ground cracked open with jagged fissures.

Ye Yunjian and the others felt as if their bodies were being suppressed by an invisible force, making it difficult to breathe and slowing their movements, as if they were sinking into a swamp.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and a nauseating putrid smell, which assaulted their sense of smell and made them want to vomit.

The tension reached its peak; their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown, and the shadow of death loomed over everyone.

The giant beast's scarlet eyes flashed with a cruel light. It opened its blood-red maw, and black light gathered inside, transforming into streaks of black lightning, like chains from hell, which lashed down at the crowd.

Lightning ripped through the air with a sharp whistling sound, carrying an aura of destruction that sent chills down one's spine.

Ye Yunjian gritted his teeth, enduring the numbness in his body, and desperately dodged the streaks of black lightning.

However, a bolt of lightning grazed his shoulder, and the scorching energy instantly tore his clothes, leaving a charred wound on his shoulder.

He groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face turning pale.

The intense pain made it almost impossible for him to stand, but his eyes remained resolute, unwilling to give up the fight.

Lin Yao, Nie Hanshan, and Gu Ling were extremely anxious when they saw Ye Yunjian injured, but they were powerless to help and could only struggle on their own.

Ye Yunjian took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging blood and qi within his body.

He glanced at the longsword in his hand, then looked at the menacing beast. Unlike before, he didn't attack the beast directly, but instead reached into his robes...

"Wait!" Ye Yunjian suddenly shouted.

Instead of attacking the giant beast directly as before, Ye Yunjian took out a crystal-clear red crystal from his pocket—the Xuanhuo Crystal.

This crystal exudes a fiery aura, as if it contains endless fiery power.

He took a deep breath and began to guide the power of the Xuanhuo Crystal to merge with his own spiritual power.

Seeing Ye Yunjian's actions, Lin Yao and the others were all stunned, not understanding what he was going to do.

Nie Hanshan asked in confusion, "Brother Ye, what's going on...?"

Ye Yunjian did not answer, but focused intently on guiding the power of the Xuanhuo Crystal.

He could feel a powerful energy surging within his body, as if it were about to burst him apart.

But his eyes were firm, and his heart was full of confidence, because he believed that his plan would definitely succeed.

As the power of the Xuanhuo Crystal continued to flow into his body, the light emanating from Ye Yunjian grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

He felt his power greatly enhanced, as if he could control all the flames in the world.

"Come on!" Ye Yunjian roared and charged towards the giant beast.

The behemoth seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from Ye Yunjian. It let out a deafening roar, and its massive claws, carrying a sharp gust of wind, slammed towards Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian dodged the giant beast's attack with a swift movement.

Then, he leaped high into the air, his longsword flashing with dazzling light, and plunged it into the giant beast's claws.

"boom!"

A powerful force emanated from the sword, numbing the beast's claws. It let out a painful howl and shook its head angrily.

"Now!" A glint of light flashed in Ye Yunjian's eyes, and he swung his longsword once more...

With the combined spiritual power of the four, Ye Yunjian shone brightly, as if he had transformed into a god of fire.

He leaped high into the air, his longsword drawing a perfect arc in the air. A huge beam of light burst forth from the tip of the sword, like a raging storm, heading straight for the giant beast's head.

"Boom!" The enormous light and the black energy of the giant beast collided violently in the air, producing a deafening roar, as if the entire space was being torn apart by an invisible force.

The giant beast's head was struck by the light, and the black light was instantly dispelled. It let out a final, shrill scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising dust and scattering debris.

Ye Yunjian stood beside the giant beast's corpse, his long sword stuck in the ground. He was drenched in sweat, but his eyes gleamed with the light of victory.

Upon seeing this, Nie Hanshan, Gu Ling, and Lin Yao rushed forward, their faces beaming with indescribable joy and excitement.

Nie Hanshan patted Ye Yunjian on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Brother Ye, you are truly amazing!"

Gu Ling's voice trembled, her eyes filled with admiration: "We...we really did it!"

Lin Yao gripped Ye Yunjian's hand tightly, tears welling in her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Ye. If it weren't for you, we might all..."

Ye Yunjian smiled slightly and said firmly, "We are partners, and it is our duty to overcome difficulties together."

Just then, everyone suddenly noticed a treasure chest radiating a dazzling light where the giant beast had fallen, surrounded by a mysterious enchantment.

The light, like the brightest star in the night sky, attracted everyone's attention.

They exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with curiosity and excitement, wondering what was hidden inside the treasure chest.

Elder Xuanfeng slowly walked to the treasure chest and said in a deep voice, "The restrictions on this treasure chest are extraordinary. We must be very careful and not be careless."

The treasure chest lay quietly where the giant beast had once roamed, emitting a soft light, like a star in the night sky.

Surrounded by complex and mysterious restrictions, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, it was like a loyal guardian protecting a treasure.
