On the battlefield, the black barrier that had stood between the group and the giant now resembled a shattered mirror, with fine cracks slowly spreading across its surface. The previously tense nerves of the group were instantly soothed, as if gently touched by a tender hand; joy welled up like a spring stream breaking through the ice. However, their years of experience dealing with formidable enemies meant that none of them dared to let their guard down easily. After all, this mountain-like giant was no pushover.

Lin Yu's eyes were fixed on the ever-expanding cracks, his brows furrowed slightly. He thought to himself, "This giant won't surrender so easily. This seemingly fragile situation might just be a prelude to its desperate struggle." He quickly turned to his companions, whose faces were equally weary but whose eyes were resolute, and shouted, "Everyone, stay calm! This could very well be the decisive moment. Don't let your guard down; success or failure hinges on this!" As he spoke, his hands moved with lightning speed, intricate hand seals flashing one after another. The stellar power within him surged like a raging river, converging relentlessly into his palms, as he once again unleashed the incomparably powerful "Star Spirit Explosion - Chain Barrage." One after another, dazzling meteors formed from the power of stars rushed toward the black barrier with the momentum to rip through the sky. His gaze never left the barrier for a moment, his mind rapidly calculating how much power was needed to break through this last line of defense. His focused expression made it seem as if he had excluded everything else in the world.

Su Yao stood to the side, her figure somewhat frail. Her once rosy cheeks were now completely bloodless, as thin as a sheet of paper. Each use of "Ice Spirit Illusion Explosion - Chain Impact" felt like draining her life force; her spiritual energy was like a dried-up well, nearly depleted. Yet, even so, she bit her lower lip tightly, crimson blood seeping out, her eyes filled with a stubborn determination: "I'm almost there, I absolutely cannot stop!" She stared at the widening crack, as if she saw the dawn of victory. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, dripping onto the ancient hall's weathered floor with a soft "plop," stirring up tiny specks of dust.

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley had snow-white hair that fluttered gently in the wind. His white robes were already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to his back. He could clearly feel the righteous energy within him surging violently like a raging sea. Each use of "Qingfeng Righteous Energy - Ultimate Purification" consumed him like moving mountains and filling seas. But his gaze was unwavering, as if piercing through the darkness before him, looking towards the distant horizon of victory. He murmured to himself, "Darkness will ultimately be defeated by justice. Today is the day of reckoning!" With that, he gripped the longsword that radiated golden light tightly. The light emanating from the righteous energy on the sword, though somewhat diminished, still shone like countless stars, stubbornly and relentlessly charging towards the black barrier, as if trying to uproot and completely purify the dark power hidden within.

The Ice Clan leader, clad in ice-blue armor, was enveloped in a chilling aura, as if he were inside an ice cellar. At this moment, he was fully controlling the "Ice Abyss Ancestral Spirit - Judgment Strike," veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down his face and neck. The hundred-foot-tall phantom of the Ice Abyss Ancestral Spirit trembled slightly behind him, like an aging hero, his strength waning. "The power of the Ice Clan must break this barrier!" His heart was filled with a sense of mission for the Ice Clan's heritage, as if bearing a thousand-pound burden. The Ice Judgment Blade in his hand gleamed with a blinding light, striking precisely at the densest cracks, each thrust accompanied by scattering ice crystals. He attempted to use this final strike to completely shatter the barrier, letting the Ice Clan's name shine brightly on the battlefield.

However, just as everyone was filled with anticipation, believing victory was within reach, the giant, like a primordial beast awakened from its slumber, unleashed a deafening roar. This roar was like a tangible sound wave; wherever it passed, the air buzzed, the ground trembled violently, and everyone nearly stumbled and fell. Then, a horrifying scene unfolded: it forcefully reversed the ink-black dark power within its body, unleashing a forbidden divine power never before heard of—"Dark Backlash: World-Destroying Impact." In an instant, the black barrier that had been struggling to withstand the attacks vanished as if it had never existed, replaced by a powerful dark shockwave that seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and earth. Centered on the giant's weak point, this power spread wildly in all directions like a raging tsunami, tearing sand and stones, and creating black cracks in space wherever it passed.

Seeing this, Lin Yu knew he was in trouble. His face turned deathly pale. Without thinking, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, defend!" At the same time, his hands moved rapidly, and the power of the stars within him surged out wildly as if he didn't care about his life, instantly unleashing "Starry Spirit Shield - Ultimate Protection." A layer of colorful, dreamlike glass-like shield quickly condensed in front of everyone. On the shield, runes formed from the power of the stars flickered and danced, like lively elves, tightly protecting everyone within.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's call, Su Yao's delicate body trembled. Suppressing the weakness of her impending spiritual exhaustion, she swiftly cast "Ice Spirit Eternal Barrier - Reinforcement." In an instant, icy blue spiritual energy, like the fiercest winter wind, howled forth, rapidly forming a rock-solid ice wall outside the Star Shield. Ice crystals shimmered on the wall, like a giant mirror reflecting the surrounding light, adding to the solidity of the defense.

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley wore a solemn expression, fully aware that the situation was extremely precarious. Without time to think, he brandished his longsword, chanting incantations, and unleashed the "Qingfeng Righteous Qi - Guardian of Heaven and Earth." Righteous energy, like golden silk, surged forth from the sword, transforming into a dazzling golden light screen that connected seamlessly with the Star Shield and the Ice Spirit Barrier, jointly resisting the oncoming dark shockwave. On the light screen, golden runes, like ancient script, exuded a mysterious and solemn aura, seemingly proclaiming the power of justice.

The Ice Clan leader's eyes widened, filled with unwavering resolve. With his last ounce of strength, he unleashed "Ice Abyss Tide - Defensive Vortex." In an instant, the power of the Ice Abyss surged forth from his body like a rushing glacial river, forming a massive vortex before the group. Within the vortex, ice shards spun rapidly like sharp swords, attempting to disperse the power of the dark shockwave layer by layer, weakening its impact on everyone.

The dark shockwave collided violently with everyone's defenses, as if two peerless experts were engaged in a life-or-death duel in the void. For a moment, a deafening roar resounded, like thunder exploding or a stampede of horses. The Star Shield flickered, its multicolored runes teetering under the impact of the dark power, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. On the Ice Spirit Eternal Barrier, countless cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb, its icy blue light gradually dimming, like moonlight obscured by dark clouds. The golden light curtain of the Clear Wind and Righteous Qi - Heaven and Earth Guardian was corroded by the dark power like a venomous snake, becoming mottled and worn, its golden runes like defiled sacred objects, losing their original luster. The Ice Abyss Spirit Tide - Defensive Vortex was almost brought to a halt by the dark shockwave, its ice shards scattering like broken wings.

Lin Yu, situated at the center of the defense, felt as if he were a small boat in a raging storm, surrounded by towering waves that could swallow him whole, and he was constantly threatened by the dark forces. "I can't give up! I have to hold on!" He gritted his teeth, blood seeping from his gums, and frantically waved his hands, pouring all his stellar power into the shield, trying to stabilize the crumbling defense with his own strength.

Su Yao was filled with fear, trembling like a frightened fawn. But when she glanced at her companions who were also fighting desperately beside her, a warm light seemed to ignite her heart, and a surge of courage welled up within her: "We can definitely overcome this!" She once again mobilized the remaining spiritual energy within her body. Although that spiritual energy was almost gone, like a dying ember in the wind, she still stubbornly reinforced the ice spirit barrier, her hands trembling uncontrollably from the excessive force.

The Valley Master of Qingfeng Valley closed his eyes tightly, his face ashen white. He knew that if the defenses collapsed now, everyone's lives would be in danger. "Righteous Qi, protect us all!" he murmured, as if praying to the god of justice in the world. Then, he completely merged his mind with the righteous Qi within the sword formation, attempting to unleash his final power, like a star about to burn out, shining its brightest light before extinguishing itself.

The Ice Clan leader had already exhausted all his strength, his Ice Abyss power almost completely depleted, like a dried-up riverbed, unable to squeeze out a single drop of water. Yet he still tenaciously maintained the defensive vortex, like an old general holding his ground, never retreating even a step even if he were to die on the battlefield.

At this critical moment, the power of the dark shockwave seemed to reach its peak, like a ferocious beast roaring to its limit, while everyone's defenses were on the verge of collapse, like a kite string torn to its limit by a gale, ready to snap at any moment...
