The mysterious figure crashed to the ground like a falling meteor, kicking up a cloud of dust, his fate unknown. A brief, deathly silence fell, save for the lingering effects of "Rule Reshaping, All Things Returning to Nothingness," which continued to rage and roar like a runaway beast within the passage. Space seemed to be ruthlessly kneaded and distorted by an invisible giant hand, with stones constantly falling from the shattered walls of the passage, like a dangerous rain of stones. The air was filled with chaotic spiritual energy, colliding and pressing against each other, hissing and crackling, as if an earth-shattering explosion was about to erupt at any moment.

Lin Yu frowned, his eyes filled with solemnity and determination. He knew this danger was like a persistent, insidious disease, not yet completely eradicated. He took a deep breath, his hands swiftly forming a hand seal in front of his chest, chanting, "Star Purification Mantra!" In an instant, the brilliant power of the stars seemed to receive a divine summons, surging forth from his body and transforming into a gentle, spring-like drizzle of light that showered down. Lin Yu silently prayed: this chaos of spiritual energy must be quelled. Wherever the light touched, a miracle quietly occurred. The previously violent, chaotic, and mutually tearing spiritual energy, like a tamed wild beast, gradually became docile and orderly. The distortion of space also eased, like a taut spring slowly releasing its tension. However, the passage still hadn't returned to its former tranquility. Lin Yu tightened his grip on his sword, his gaze warily sweeping across his surroundings.

Su Yao moved with graceful steps, like a fairy dancing on an icy plain, her movements light yet resolute. Seeing Lin Yu take the initiative to stabilize the situation, she was not to be outdone. With a light wave of her jade hand, she shouted, "Ice Spirit Stillness Domain!" Instantly, ice-type spiritual energy seemed to hear the battle cry, spreading rapidly outwards from her center like a tidal wave, forming a tranquil ice domain as serene as a paradise in the blink of an eye. Within this domain, time seemed to be slowed down by a magic spell, the chaotic spiritual energy frozen in place like a still image, and the falling stones were suspended in the air as if pulled by invisible threads, no longer falling. Su Yao breathed slightly heavily, feeling a little relieved: "At least I've bought everyone a little breathing room."

The figure in black robes, concealed in a dark corner, fluttered in the wind like a demon god of the night. He witnessed the chaos before him, coldly snorted, and his hands moved rapidly beneath his robes, weaving a deadly net. Then, he uttered a low shout: "Darkness Devours, Clear the Field!" In an instant, the dark power, like an invisible beast awakening from the abyss, opened its blood-red maw and began to frantically devour the remaining destructive force and the chaotic spiritual energy that lurked with immense danger and could explode at any moment. Wherever the darkness reached, a thick, inky darkness enveloped everything, as if swallowing the entire world whole. The dangerous forces gradually vanished under the erosion of darkness, and the environment within the passage was further improved, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the darkness. The figure in black robes narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing coldness and smugness: "Hmph, a mere crisis, you think you can defeat me?"

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley wielded a golden longsword, its blade humming as if echoing his own state of mind. His face was stern, like a war god descended to earth. Seeing everyone united in their fight against the crisis, he raised his arm and roared, unleashing the "Clear Breeze Cleansing Sword Formation." In an instant, the righteous energy within the sword formation seemed divinely inspired, bursting forth like a strong, clear breeze at dawn, determined to sweep away the filth of the world. Wherever the righteous energy reached, dust settled like startled rabbits, and the chaotic atmosphere in the passage was swept away like fallen leaves in autumn, creating a relatively safe haven for everyone. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley, witnessing the power of the sword formation, felt a surge of satisfaction and gained more confidence for the challenges to come.

The Ice Clan leader, like a king stepping out from an ancient icy abyss, gripped his ice staff tightly. The blue gem at the top of the staff gleamed with a blinding, cold light, seemingly recounting ancient legends. Seeing that the passage was still in danger of collapsing, he swung his staff without hesitation, chanting an ancient incantation and casting the "Ice Abyss Wall Condensation Spell." Instantly, the power of the Ice Abyss, like a sleeping behemoth awakened, rapidly solidified into thick ice walls around the passage. These ice walls not only acted as sturdy shields, blocking any falling rocks, but also seemed to armor the passage, reinforcing its structure and preventing it from collapsing due to the previous harrowing battle. The ice walls shimmered with an icy blue light, radiating a powerful protective force, as if proclaiming to everyone: With me here, there is no danger.

Just as everyone's tense nerves relaxed, thinking the crisis was about to pass, a strange laugh, like the hooting of an owl, suddenly came from where the mysterious man had fallen. Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the mysterious man slowly stand up. His shocking wounds were healing at a visible speed, as if an invisible, miraculous hand was stitching them up. The mysterious man's lips curled into a mocking sneer: "You think you can defeat me like this? Too naive!" With that, his hands moved with the speed of a nimble snake, forming hand seals, and he chanted incantations, unleashing a chilling and eerie divine power—"Forbidden Revival: Summoning of the Ancient Remnant Soul."

As the mysterious figure moved, the temperature inside the passage seemed to drop several degrees instantly, and a chilling, biting wind howled, carrying faint cries of ghosts and wolves, like the lamentations of the deepest hell. Then, a terrifying scene unfolded: countless illusory, ancient remnants of souls gushed forth from the ground like a spring. These remnants had hideous faces, like demons twisted by time, exuding powerful resentment and an aura of evil. They lunged at the group, baring their fangs and claws, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey, attempting to devour their souls to quell their endless resentment.

Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. He gripped his longsword tightly, the stellar power on its blade rapidly coalescing like a burning galaxy. Lin Yu leaped into the air, tracing a dazzling arc, and shouted, "Starry Soul-Suppressing Sword - Myriad Souls Shatter!" Then, he swung his sword, unleashing streaks of starlight sword energy as brilliant as shooting stars towards the ancient remnant souls. Wherever the sword energy struck, the ancient remnant souls screamed like bats struck by intense light, their forms partially dissipating. But the number of ancient remnant souls was simply too great, densely packed like a tidal wave, surging forward relentlessly. Lin Yu inwardly groaned, "What am I going to do if this continues?"

Su Yao's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes flashing with murderous intent, like an enraged goddess of the ice plains. She stretched out her jade-like hand, and ice-elemental spiritual energy rapidly gathered in her palm, transforming into beams of pure, icy-blue light, like snow lotuses from the Heavenly Mountains, which shone towards the ancient remnant souls. Su Yao cried out, "Ice Spirit Purification Spell - Light of Purification!" The light contained powerful purifying force; the evil aura emanating from the ancient remnant souls touched by the light gradually dissipated, as if being washed away by detergent, and their forms became ethereal. However, the army of remnant souls seemed endless, with countless more still relentlessly charging forward. Su Yao gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment: "I absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

The figure in black robes was concealed in the darkness, seemingly one with it, becoming its master. His hands moved rapidly beneath his robes, dark power weaving like black threads around the ancient remnants of souls, forming black cages to imprison them. The figure in black robes uttered a low cry: "Dark Cage Soul-Trapping Technique!" Mysterious dark runes flickered on the cages, like ancient seals, radiating a powerful binding force. But the ancient remnants of souls, like beasts imprisoned for millennia, struggled desperately. Cracks appeared in some of the cages, threatening to burst at any moment. The figure in black robes felt a chill run down his spine: "These guys are incredibly troublesome!"

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley stood with a cold expression, wielding a golden longsword as if possessed by a war god. His feet were shoulder-width apart, and the righteous energy emanating from the sword shone like the blazing sun. He looked up at the sky, as if absorbing the righteous energy of heaven and earth, then suddenly lowered his head, his gaze piercing, and roared, "Qingfeng Righteous Sword Domain - Soul Judgment!" In an instant, the righteous energy expanded outwards from the Valley Master, forming a sword domain. Within the domain, the righteous energy was like countless sharp blades, mercilessly judging the ancient remnant souls. Under the attack of the righteous energy, the ancient remnant souls roared in agony, their forms constantly dissipating. But the ancient remnant souls continued their frenzied charge towards the group. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley was filled with helplessness: "How can we completely repel such madness?"

The Ice Clan leader, resembling an ancient war god, gripped his ice halberd with both hands. The power of the icy abyss and spirit orbs on the halberd surged like a volcano about to erupt. The Ice Clan leader roared, "Ice Abyss Spirit Arrow Shoots the Soul!" He then raised the ice halberd high, as if to pierce the sky, before slamming it down upon the mysterious figure. The power contained within the ice halberd seemed capable of tearing through space and shattering stars; the air along its path seemed frozen, forming streaks of white frost. The Ice Clan leader's eyes were resolute: "This strike will make you pay the price!"

Under the powerful counterattack of the crowd, the mysterious man had nowhere to dodge. The Five-Colored Star Sword Qi struck his chest first, like a cannonball exploding, tearing his clothes and spurting blood. The Ice Arrow, a fusion of ice and fire, then pierced his right arm, the strange flames instantly scorching the wound black. The Dark Curse Light, like an invisible chain, tightly bound his soul, and the mysterious man roared in agony. The Righteous Judgment Sword Qi, like a bolt of lightning, sliced ​​across his back, leaving a deep bloody gash. Finally, the Ice Abyss Meteor Halberd slammed down on his head, and the mysterious man let out a shrill scream. The mysterious power around his body instantly collapsed, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, his life hanging in the balance... The crowd watched the scene before them, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. There was the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, but also the worry about the unknown future. They knew that this battle might only be the beginning, and even greater mysteries awaited them to unravel.
