Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Chapter 438 Crisis Returns

On the icy plain, the situation grew increasingly perilous. The dark figure, pierced by icicles, roared like a wounded beast, a sound so powerful it seemed to shatter eardrums, echoing throughout the entire ice field. The dark power surrounding him surged wildly like boiling black magma, carrying an aura of boundless savagery. He stomped his foot, unleashing a powerful shockwave that forcefully shattered the ice chains binding his legs and the icicles embedded in his body. Ice shards flew, hissing under the influence of the dark power. His eyes were now bloodshot, like a demon from hell, his face contorted with rage, and he unleashed "Dark Blood Sacrifice: Resurrection" without hesitation.

He stretched out a hand, his sharp nails slicing through his palm, blood gushing out. Instantly, the blood seemed to ignite like black flames, burning with the very essence of darkness. In that instant, an even more powerful and malevolent aura erupted from him, as if opening the gates to hell, unleashing a torrent of dark magic. The dark vortex, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse due to the attacks, began to rapidly recover under the infusion of this evil power, its rotation accelerating even faster and its power surpassing its previous intensity. The dark pressure emanating from it made everyone feel breathless.

Lin Yu's brows furrowed, his gaze fixed intently on the dark figure. He thought to himself, "How can this monster be so troublesome? Even in this dire situation, it can still unleash such terrifying power!" He knew the situation was extremely critical; if no immediate action was taken, everyone would perish. Without hesitation, his hands moved rapidly, forming complex and mysterious hand seals, while he chanted, "Star Shield - Ultimate Protection!" In an instant, the stellar power within him erupted like a long-dormant beast awakened, bursting forth with unprecedented intensity. Brilliant starlight surged from his body, rapidly converging around the group to form a rock-solid, unbreakable shield.

Starlight shimmered across the shield's surface, like a galaxy fallen to earth. The runes shone with an ancient and mysterious light, each one a whisper from the distant stars, containing boundless protective power, attempting to withstand the all-consuming onslaught of the dark vortex. However, the enhanced suction of this dark vortex was astonishing, like a giant black hole. The star shield trembled violently under its powerful pull, and the rune light flickered, like a candle in the wind, threatening to go out at any moment. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, desperately maintaining the shield. Sweat soaked his back, and he silently prayed, "I must hold on!"

Su Yao's expression was cold, but her eyes were unwavering. Seeing Lin Yu's Star Shield on the verge of collapse, she moved gracefully to the front of the formation, her icy blue ribbon dancing in the wind. She took a deep breath, slowly raised her hands, and murmured, "Ice Spirit Absolute Domain!" In an instant, ice-elemental spiritual power seemed to obey her command, frantically converging from all directions, completely transforming the surrounding space into an ice domain. Within this domain, Su Yao's control over ice-elemental power reached its peak, as if she had become the ruler of this icy world.

She attempted to use the power of the Ice Spirit Absolute Domain to weaken the rotation speed of the dark vortex, thereby reducing the pressure on the Star Shield. Within the Ice Domain, the temperature plummeted to its limit, as if one had instantly stepped from the human world into an extreme hell. Moisture in the air rapidly condensed into ice crystals, falling in a soft rustling sound. Under the corrosive influence of this cold, the dark power even showed signs of condensation, like black threads bound and unable to move. A hint of relief flashed in Su Yao's eyes, but she understood that this battle had only just begun, and she could not afford to relax in the slightest.

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley, though his hair was white, remained agile, his white robes shining like a beacon in the darkness. He held a golden longsword, its blade humming as if echoing its master's fighting spirit. Seeing his followers trapped in their predicament, his gaze sharpened as he looked into the depths of the dark vortex, silently contemplating, "Qingfeng Valley has a long and rich history; today, we must not allow this evil to succeed!" He then roared, "Qingfeng Righteous Qi Returning to Origin Formation!" With that, his longsword danced, drawing golden arcs in the air, gathering the righteous energy of the Qingfeng Valley disciples through his swordplay, forming a massive Righteous Qi Returning to Origin Formation.

The righteous energy within the formation flowed and converged like a tangible golden liquid, resembling a surging golden river that released powerful purifying force. Golden purifying rays shot towards the dark vortex, each beam like a righteous arrow, attempting to cleanse the evil forces within and dissipate them. The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley stood solemnly, fully activating the formation, chanting incantations as if praying for the blessing of the righteous power of heaven and earth.

The Ice Clan leader's face was cold and stern, his eyes seemingly piercing through the darkness. He brandished his ice staff, its runes shimmering like the whispers of an ancient god. Seeing the shadowy figure so rampant, he coldly snorted, "Today I'll show you the true power of my Ice Clan!" With that, he unleashed "Ancestral Spirit of the Ice Abyss Descends - Forbidden Spell: Ice Seal." In an instant, an ancient and heavy aura emanated from the depths of the Ice Abyss, as if a giant who had slumbered for millennia had awakened. The phantom of the Ice Clan's ancestor reappeared, tall and majestic, holding an ice staff, chanting incantations as he cast the Ice Clan's ancient forbidden spell.

A massive, icy blue pillar of light shot into the sky from the icy abyss, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, engulfing the dark vortex. Wherever the pillar passed, the air froze, crackling and popping. The Ice Clan leader attempted to completely freeze the dark vortex, slumbering this source of evil forever. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but his gaze remained resolute as he channeled the power of the forbidden spell with all his might, daring not to slacken in the slightest.

Seeing everyone resist with all their might again, the shadowy figure, like a crazed madman, let out a maniacal laugh: "You think this can stop me? Today you will all die!" With that, he unleashed "Dark Distortion - Spatial Collapse." Dark power, like a pair of invisible hands, forcibly distorted the surrounding space. Centered on him, huge cracks began to appear in space, like shattered mirrors, with endless darkness shining through the cracks, as if the entire passage was about to collapse.

Under the influence of spatial distortion, the runes on the Star Shield began to shatter, and the starlight gradually dimmed. Lin Yu's face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, which he forced down. The Ice Spirit Absolute Domain was also affected, with countless cracks appearing in its ice domain. Su Yao was extremely anxious, her hands constantly forming hand seals, trying to stabilize the situation. The purifying light of the Qingfeng Haoqi Guiyuan Array became chaotic due to the spatial distortion, unable to accurately attack the dark vortex. The Qingfeng Valley Master frowned deeply and shook his head repeatedly. Although the forbidden spell of the Ice Abyss Ancestral Spirit's descent to seal the ice temporarily delayed the power of the dark vortex, it was also teetering on the brink of collapse under the comparative influence of spatial collapse. The Ice Clan leader sighed inwardly, "Is it really going to be a complete failure today?"

Just as everyone was in dire straits, the spirit orb that had been hovering beside Lin Yu suddenly trembled violently, as if infused with life. A mysterious and powerful force emanated from the orb, spreading outwards… Lin Yu's eyes widened, his heart filled with both surprise and joy: "What secret does this spirit orb hold? Can it help us turn the tide?" Everyone else also turned to look, a glimmer of hope igniting in their eyes, focusing their gaze on the suddenly moving spirit orb…
