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

"It's the 'Heavenly Gang Demon Subduing Formation'! Elder Xuanfeng is about to use a forbidden technique!" Nie Hanshan exclaimed. Elder Xuanfeng raised his hands high, and a golden light shot into the sky, transforming into a huge golden formation that enveloped all the monsters.

Within the formation, countless golden runes flickered, emitting bursts of booming sounds.

The monsters struggled and roared within the formation, but could not break free of their restraints, and their figures gradually became illusory.

"We did it!" Everyone cheered excitedly as they saw the monster being suppressed.

However, this joy did not last long.

The ground began to shake violently, and cracks appeared in the space, spreading out like a spider web.

"Oh no! The space is about to collapse!" Elder Xuanfeng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in terror.

The crowd looked around in horror; the ever-widening cracks resembled the gaping maw of an abyss, as if they were about to swallow them whole.

"Quick! Find a way out!" Ye Yunjian, holding Lin Yao, quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for any hope of escape.

The space was collapsing faster and faster, and the aura of death was spreading...

"This way!" Ye Yunjian pointed in a direction, his tone urgent and firm.

The space was collapsing faster and faster, and the cracks were like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, devouring everything around them.

The air ripped apart with a deafening sound, and the ground trembled violently, making it difficult to stand.

Thick dust filled the air, causing everyone to cough incessantly and blur their vision.

The shadow of death loomed over everyone, and fear spread through their eyes.

Lin Yao gripped Ye Yunjian's sleeve tightly, her face as pale as paper. Even the usually forthright Nie Hanshan had a solemn expression and tightly pursed lips.

Gu Ling was so frightened that she trembled and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Are we all going to die here?" Fairy Qingyu murmured to herself, her voice filled with despair.

At this critical moment, Ye Yunjian's gaze remained unusually calm.

Countless thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to find a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, he remembered a strange stone he had obtained in the cave, which emitted a faint spatial power.

"Perhaps...there's still a chance!" Ye Yunjian

All eyes were on Ye Yunjian, and their breathing became rapid, as if Ye Yunjian's movements were their last hope.

Time ticked by, the spatial rift drew ever closer, and the threat of death grew ever stronger.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats; the tension almost consumed them.

"Found it!" Ye Yunjian suddenly shouted, taking out a fist-sized, jet-black stone from his storage bag.

The stone's surface was covered with strange patterns, emitting faint spatial fluctuations that contrasted sharply with the surrounding violent spatial power.

He gripped the stone tightly, and a strange energy flowed from it into his body, giving him a sense of inexplicable peace...

"A sword is hidden within... this is..." Lin Yao looked at the stone.

Before Ye Yunjian could explain, a loud bang suddenly came from above...

The deafening roar overhead was like a thunderclap, and a huge rock fell from the sky, smashing right into Ye Yunjian's body.

He groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the front of his shirt red.

The intense pain made his vision go black, and he almost fainted.

But he gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and still held the black stone tightly in his hand.

"Sword Concealment!" Lin Yao exclaimed, trying to step forward to support him, but Nie Hanshan grabbed her arm.

"Don't go over there, it's too dangerous now!" Nie Hanshan said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the ever-expanding spatial rifts around him.

Ye Yunjian stood up unsteadily, his face as pale as paper, and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth were shocking.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi within him, and fixed his gaze firmly on the stone in his hand.

"It has to be... quick!" he uttered with difficulty, his trembling fingers beginning to trace intricate patterns on the stone.

Seeing this, everyone was filled with worry and anxiety.

With Ye Yunjian's injuries so severe, how long can he hold on?

Can this rock really save them?

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the black stone, and a huge, semi-transparent shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping everyone within it.

The shield collided with the surrounding violent spatial forces, producing a piercing friction sound, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"It's done!" Nie Hanshan shouted excitedly, his eyes shining with hope.

However, this glimmer of hope did not last long.

The shield's light gradually dimmed, and cracks began to spread across its surface, appearing as numerous as a spider web.

Ye Yunjian's face grew even paler, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body swayed precariously, as if he might collapse at any moment.

He gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the stone, trying to maintain the stability of the shield.

"No... my spiritual power... is almost exhausted..." Ye Yunjian's voice trembled, almost inaudible.

Just then, Lin Yao walked to his side, her eyes resolute, "Yunjian, let me help you."

Lin Yao gently placed her slender hand on Ye Yunjian's shoulder, and a stream of pure spiritual energy flowed into his body.

Ye Yunjian felt a warm current flow through his body, and his fatigue lessened slightly.

He glanced at Lin Yao gratefully. Seeing this, Nie Hanshan and Gu Ling also placed their palms on the back of Ye Yunjian without hesitation, transferring their spiritual power to him.

"Brother Yunjian, we'll stand with you!" Nie Hanshan's heroic voice echoed in the trembling space.

"Yes...yes, Senior Brother Ye, I...we'll go together..." Gu Ling's voice trembled, but it was full of determination.

Seeing this, Fairy Qingyu gracefully stepped forward, her delicate hand gently waving, and a stream of gentle spiritual energy flowed into Ye Yunjian's body.

"Young Master Ye, there's no need to be so polite. In times of crisis, it's only right to help each other." Fairy Qingyu's voice was clear and melodious, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

Ye Yunjian felt a continuous flow of spiritual energy surging into his body, and his previously depleted dantian was replenished once again.

He took a deep breath and poured all his spiritual power into the black stone.

The light emanating from the stone suddenly intensified, blinding everyone.

A semi-transparent shield also appeared, blocking out all the collapsing space around it.

The shield's surface shimmered with iridescent light, like a giant, colorful bubble enveloping everyone within it.

With a crisp "crack," the spatial rift finally stopped spreading and began to slowly heal.

"We succeeded!" Everyone cheered in unison, their joy overflowing.

Nie Hanshan slapped his thigh excitedly, "Haha! We survived!"

Gu Ling burst into tears of joy, collapsing to the ground and repeatedly chanting, "That's wonderful, that's wonderful..."

Ye Yunjian also breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

He felt a wave of exhaustion and his body swayed as if about to collapse. Lin Yao quickly supported him.
