Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Chapter 433: Undercurrent of lingering thoughts

In that deep, mysterious passage, the instant the Spirit Orb and Lin Yu successfully established a contract, the blinding light, like weary birds returning to their nests, gradually subsided. Lin Yu stood tall, his body seemingly shrouded in a dreamlike veil, surrounded by a faint, multicolored halo. This halo, as if alive, flowed slowly, revealing the unique and mysterious connection between him and the Spirit Orb. At this moment, Lin Yu's heart was filled with surging excitement and wonder. He couldn't wait to try circulating the immense power connected to the Spirit Orb. His hands moved gracefully and powerfully in the air, unleashing a newly mastered technique—"Star Spirit Guidance: All Things Return to One." In an instant, the Spirit Orb seemed to contain the primordial power of the universe, surging forth continuously, merging seamlessly with Lin Yu's own surging star power. A multicolored star sword aura, seemingly tearing apart the heavens, woven from the power of stars and the Spirit Orb, roared out with a world-destroying momentum. Wherever the sword energy passed, space seemed to be sliced ​​apart by a sharp blade, rippling outwards before finally slamming into the stone wall at the end of the passage. A deafening roar resounded, making everyone's eardrums ache. Instantly, a bottomless, shocking chasm was left in the stone wall. The residual force of the sword energy, like a surging wave, continued to shake the stone wall, sending debris falling in a flurry, as if telling the terrifying story of the attack's power.

Su Yao moved gracefully forward, her beautiful face radiating relief, like a flower blooming in spring. She parted her lips slightly and said softly, "Now that the Spirit Orb has formed a contract with you, a great task has been accomplished. This gives us a greater chance of protecting the world's peace. But this black-robed man..." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes flickered, turning to the black-robed man, her gaze instantly filled with wariness, like a frightened deer guarding against a leopard lurking in the shadows. The black-robed man, hidden in a dark corner, saw Su Yao looking at him and snorted coldly. Though his heart was filled with resentment, like a child whose beloved toy had been snatched away, burning with rage, he outwardly feigned composure, like a still pond, undisturbed. He gritted his teeth secretly, his hands forming hand seals in his sleeves, channeling dark power to unleash a strange "Dark Concealment Spell." In an instant, the dark power, like an invisible yet indestructible membrane, completely enveloped his aura, making him appear no different from before, as if nothing had happened. But in reality, his mind was in turmoil, racking his brains for a ruthless way to reclaim the Spirit Orb, like a venomous snake lurking in a dark swamp, waiting for its chance to strike.

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley stood steadfast, like a guardian deity of justice. At this moment, his expression hardened, and the golden longsword in his hand seemed to sense its master's resolute fighting spirit, humming loudly. He swung the sword sharply, and his righteous energy, like a bursting dam, flooded the surroundings, unleashing a wondrous technique, "Qingfeng Spiritual Perception - Insight." In an instant, the righteous energy seemed to transform into countless invisible tentacles, gently touching the black-robed man's aura, attempting to see through his schemes. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley's eyes blazed, thinking to himself, "This black-robed man is acting suspiciously; he must have something fishy going on. I absolutely cannot let him succeed." However, the black-robed man's dark concealment spell was far too ingenious, like a carefully crafted illusion. After searching, the Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley could only detect a faint, ghostly aura, unable to discern his true intentions. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley frowned slightly and loudly reminded everyone, "This person's aura is strange, he will definitely not let this go, we must not be careless." His voice was like a booming bell, echoing for a long time in the passage.

The Ice Clan leader was equally unyielding. Tall and imposing, he resembled a towering iceberg. Seeing the black-robed man's enigmatic demeanor, he coldly snorted, his ice staff wielded like the master of a frozen world, unleashing "Ice Abyss Vision: Probing the Secrets." In an instant, ice-elemental spiritual power, like summoned snow sprites, joyfully gathered in his eyes. He widened his gaze, meticulously observing the black-robed man's every move, like an eagle intently watching its prey. The wondrous effects of Ice Abyss Vision allowed him to perceive subtle changes in the black-robed man's power. He discovered that although the man feigned calm, the dark power within him was like an underground river surging beneath the surface, constantly accumulating a powerful force. A cold glint flashed in the Ice Clan leader's eyes, and he warned sharply, "Black-robed man, you'd better abandon those inappropriate thoughts, or the Ice Clan will not let you go." His voice was like an ice blade, piercingly cold.

The man in black robes, concealed in the darkness, sneered upon hearing the Ice Clan leader's warning: "Hmph, don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards. Since the Spirit Orb has chosen him, why would I force it?" Though he spoke these words, he inwardly scorned them: "A bunch of fools. Wait until I bring reinforcements, and let's see how long you can remain smug." Immediately afterward, he secretly unleashed an even more covert "Dark Origin Tracing - Covert Communication." In an instant, wisps of extremely fine, spiderweb-like dark power snaked out along the passage, attempting to contact the dark forces outside. These dark forces, like black threads, silently traversed space; once they made contact with the outside forces, they would bring a new bloodbath, plunging everyone into an abyss of no return.

Lin Yu remained completely focused. He sensed the subtle malice emanating from the black-robed man, a chill running down his spine as if he were being watched by a venomous snake. Without hesitation, he activated "Starry Eyes - Warning," instantly converging starlight like a dazzling galaxy in his eyes. He widened his gaze, intently watching the black-robed man's movements like a vigilant hunting dog. Soon, he detected the dark power the black-robed man was secretly releasing, immediately realizing that the man was plotting something. His expression turned grave, and he shouted, "Everyone, the black-robed man seems to be contacting the outside world. We must find a way to stop him!" His voice was like a battle horn sounding.

Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately sprang into action. With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, her ice-elemental spiritual energy, like flowing threads, instantly transformed into countless transparent ice butterflies. These ice butterflies, like a group of graceful dancers, chased after the dark power released by the black-robed man. The ice butterflies moved with incredible speed, like lightning streaking across the night sky, leaving behind icy spiritual marks as they pursued, like a series of mysterious footprints, allowing everyone to discern the direction of the dark power. Su Yao bit her lower lip and whispered, "I'll see what you're up to." Her eyes burned like flames, brimming with fighting spirit.

Seeing Su Yao make her move, the Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley acted decisively. He wielded his golden longsword, his righteous energy flowing like molten lava, unleashing the "Qingfeng Breaking Waves Sword - Slaying Darkness." In an instant, a golden sword aura, imbued with righteous energy and resembling a heaven-cleaving sword, slashed fiercely towards the direction from which the black-robed man was secretly releasing dark power. This sword aura, like a righteous judgment, attempted to sever his connection with the outside world, thwarting the black-robed man's conspiracy. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley's gaze was resolute, and he thought to himself, "Today, I will not allow this villain to succeed."
