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

Ye Yunjian gritted his teeth, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his face as pale as paper. He endured the excruciating pain and pulled the stone thorn piercing his arm, blood gushing out.

A suffocating atmosphere enveloped everyone, and a sense of despair was spreading.

Just then, a chilling voice echoed within the cave: "Truly moving..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man in a black robe who had appeared at the entrance of the cave at some point, holding a black magic wand in his hand and wearing a sinister smile on his face.

"Who is it!" Nie Hanshan roared, pointing his sword at the old man in black robes.

The old man in black robes sneered, waved his magic wand, and muttered incantations.

Suddenly, a thick black mist surged into the cave, and within the mist, pairs of scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light, sending chills down one's spine.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, a group of hideous dark creatures burst out of the black mist and pounced on the group.

These dark creatures were extremely fast and had sharp claws and teeth, and the group was immediately plunged into a fierce battle.

Ye Yunjian endured the excruciating pain in his arm and swung his sword to kill the approaching dark creatures, but he discovered that these dark creatures did not seem to be afraid of ordinary attacks.

"These dark creatures fear bright light!" Ye Yunjian suddenly realized something and shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your spiritual power and create a bright light!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered their spiritual power together, forming dazzling rays of light that illuminated the entire cave.

Under the intense light, the dark creatures roared and began to shrink back in fear.

"Hmph, mere child's play!" the black-robed elder scoffed. "Nothing more than that!" He waved his wand once more...

The old man in black robes waved his wand again, and the black mist inside the cave became even thicker, almost obscuring everyone's vision.

Just then, Fairy Qingyu exclaimed, "Young Master Ye, your arm!"

Ye Yunjian looked down and saw that black energy was swirling around the wound on his arm, and a cold aura was constantly corroding his body.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, trying to expel the black energy from his body, but found it was all in vain.

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyu quickly took out a bottle of pills from her bosom, poured out one pill and fed it to Ye Yunjian, then tore off a piece of her clothes and carefully bandaged his wound.

Her Ye Yunjian sensed Qingyu Fairy's gentleness and felt a little flustered. In this perilous cave, an ambiguous atmosphere quietly spread.

"You wicked creature, cease your arrogance!" With a furious roar, Elder Xuanfeng's hair and beard bristled, and the staff in his hand shone brightly.

He chanted incantations, and golden runes flew out of his staff like golden dragons, rushing towards the black-robed elder.

The golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave.

The old man in black robes changed his expression drastically and hurriedly waved his magic wand to defend himself.

However, Elder Xuanfeng's attack was unstoppable, instantly shattering the black-robed elder's defenses.

The dark creatures within the black mist also let out mournful screams under the golden light, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

The old man in black robes was struck by the aftershocks of the spell, his body swaying violently, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the enemy wounded, the crowd cheered excitedly; this victory rekindled their hope.

However, just when everyone thought they had the upper hand, the old man in black robes suddenly revealed a strange smile.

He pulled a black sphere from his pocket. The sphere was covered with mysterious runes and emitted a chilling energy fluctuation.

"It's over..." The old man in black robes' hoarse voice echoed within the cave as he raised the black sphere high in his hand...

The black sphere in the old man's hand resembled a black hole that devoured light, emitting increasingly intense energy fluctuations.

That force was like an invisible mountain, pressing down on everyone's shoulders, making it difficult for them to move.

The air seemed to freeze, becoming incredibly heavy. Every breath felt like struggling in a swamp, and my chest felt like it was about to burst.

The oppressive feeling surged like a tide, filling one with despair.

The sinister laughter of the old man in black robes echoed within the cave. He was like a demon god who controlled life and death, manipulating the black sphere.

Thick, ink-like energy waves surged from the sphere, carrying an aura of annihilation, and swept towards everyone.

"Watch out!" Ye Yunjian shouted sharply. He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He gripped the sword tightly, his spiritual power surging wildly within him as he tried to resist this terrifying force.

Upon seeing this, Elder Xuanfeng immediately activated all his spiritual power, and golden rays of light condensed into a huge spiritual power shield in front of him.

However, when the black energy wave struck the shield, the golden light was instantly swallowed by the darkness, and the shield swayed precariously like a leaf battered by a storm.

Elder Xuanfeng's body jolted violently, and he staggered back several steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

He had never felt such a huge gap in power, as if he were facing an invincible demon god.

Lin Yao, Nie Hanshan, Gu Ling, and the others also used their own methods to resist the terrifying energy wave.

However, all their defenses seemed so fragile in the face of that dark power.

The spiritual energy flickered continuously, emitting mournful cries, as if it would be completely swallowed up at any moment.

Fairy Qingyu was also doing her best to maintain her defense. She swung her whisk like a whirlwind, and streaks of azure light constantly collided with the black energy waves.

However, faced with that immense power, her defenses began to crumble, and a look of seriousness appeared on her delicate face.

"Hehehe..." The black-robed old man's laughter grew even more rampant. He reveled in the pain of everyone's struggles, as if he had seen his own victory.

The black sphere in his hand emitted an even more dazzling light, and the energy fluctuations became even more violent.

"Haha, you ants, tremble! Before this invincible power, all your resistance will be in vain!" The old man in black robes roared madly, and the black sphere in his hand grew stronger and stronger.

"Pfft..." The energy wave struck again, and Lin Yao let out a muffled groan. She felt her spiritual energy rapidly draining away, and her face turned ashen, as if all the color had been drained from her body.

Lin Yao let out a muffled groan, her delicate body swaying, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She tried her best to maintain her defense, but it was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Ye Yunjian's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to rush over, but he was blocked by wave after wave of black energy and could only watch helplessly as Lin Yao was in danger.

He screamed Lin Yao's name, his voice filled with helplessness and despair.
