Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

The Dark Qilin struggled frantically, like a prehistoric behemoth trapped in a desperate situation yet still incredibly ferocious. Dark power surged around it like a raging black tsunami, the black waves sweeping in with overwhelming force, seemingly threatening to engulf everything in the world in an endless abyss of darkness, attempting to drown the three's attacks. The mysterious expert gripped the runic blade tightly, which now seemed inextricably linked to the Dark Qilin's body, like a sharp thorn embedded within it. Every drop of runic power injected was met with a demonic backlash from the dark power. He felt a piercing pain in his arm, like thousands of red-hot steel needles simultaneously piercing him, or like countless black worms gnawing at his meridians, spreading from his arm throughout his body, nearly causing him to faint. But he gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed out, and the muscles in his face contorted with effort. He had only one unwavering thought in his mind: "I must not let go. This is the key to defeating it! If I give up, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and Lin Yu and Su Yao will lose their lives. I must hold on!"

Seeing the Dark Qilin's frenzied counterattack, Lin Yu knew that there was no room for complacency at this moment; a slight mistake would lead to utter destruction. "The mysterious expert is already in the most dangerous position, restraining it under immense pressure. I must increase my attack intensity to prevent it from focusing on anything else, thus easing the burden on the mysterious expert and increasing our chances of victory." He pushed his stellar power to its limit, the dazzling stellar energy surging within him like a turbulent galaxy. The illusory starlight around his body became increasingly solid, the previously ethereal light and shadow now showing signs of materialization, as if real stars were revolving around him. He unleashed his Star Domain, constructing a mysterious and powerful star-encircled space centered on himself, enveloping both the Dark Qilin and himself within it. Within this Star Domain, Lin Yu's control over stellar power reached an unprecedented level, as if he had merged with the stars, becoming the master of this stellar space. He wielded the Star Sword with both hands, its blade gleaming brightly. Streams of sword energy, imbued with the laws of the stars, shot towards the Dark Qilin like a dense meteor shower. Each sword energy radiated a mysterious light, carrying the power of the stars, as if to shatter the Dark Qilin's dark world completely.

Su Yao watched the battle with burning anxiety, her eyes filled with worry and apprehension. She knew that while her ice and snow power could inflict some damage on the Dark Qilin, its effect was slightly inferior to the attacks of Lin Yu and the mysterious expert. "I can't hold them back. Everyone is fighting desperately. I must find a way to inflict greater damage on the Dark Qilin and contribute more to our victory." Her brows furrowed as she racked her brains, trying to find a way to break the deadlock from the supernatural abilities she had learned. Suddenly, she remembered a forbidden ice and snow supernatural ability she had seen in ancient texts—Ice and Snow Burial. Once this ability was used, it would summon endless ice and snow at the cost of one's own life force, completely freezing the target and plunging it into eternal slumber. "Now we've reached a life-or-death moment. There's no other choice. I'll fight! Even if it costs me my life, I will defeat this Dark Qilin together with everyone." She gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing determination and resolve, and began to unleash her supernatural ability without hesitation.

The icy power within Su Yao surged wildly, like an awakened ice giant. The surrounding temperature plummeted, as if instantly transported from the sweltering heat of summer to a frigid, icy world. Even space itself seemed frozen by this powerful icy force, fine ice patterns appearing, as if the entire space had transformed into a massive block of ice. Her face grew increasingly pale, like the remnants of winter snow, her life force rapidly draining away like sand in an hourglass. Yet, her eyes remained resolute, showing no sign of retreat. As the icy power continued to condense, dark clouds filled the sky, seemingly drawn by the icy force, quickly coalescing into a massive black cloud. Countless enormous ice blocks appeared out of thin air, shimmering with a crystalline, cold light, hurtling towards the Dark Qilin like meteorites. Each ice block contained immense icy power, seemingly intent on burying the Dark Qilin completely beneath the ice and snow.

Under the combined attacks of Lin Yu's Starry Sword Qi and Su Yao's ice blocks, the Dark Qilin was already riddled with wounds. Large patches of its once-hardened scales had fallen away, revealing a mangled, bloody body beneath, staining the surrounding ground black. But its tenacious will to survive and its immense strength allowed it to continue its desperate resistance. It roared incessantly, its voice filled with rage and resentment. Dark power clashed fiercely with star power and icy power in mid-air, flashing light and deafening roars that pierced the eardrums. The light resembled countless stars exploding simultaneously, or a fierce clash between ice and darkness, weaving together a magnificent yet perilous scene.

The mysterious powerhouse sensed the dark qilin's increasingly fierce struggle and a growing sense of unease crept into his heart. "This can't go on. Its power is too immense. If we can't resolve this quickly, we'll all die here. We've already invested so much; we can't afford to fail at the last moment." Large beads of sweat clung to his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and disappearing instantly upon hitting the ground. A hint of anxiety flickered in his eyes, but he knew he couldn't afford to panic. A moment of disarray would render all his efforts futile. He focused intently, enduring the excruciating pain in his arm, trying to find a more fatal weakness in the wounds caused by the runic power corroding the dark qilin's body. His gaze was fixed on the dark qilin, not missing a single subtle change, like a hunter searching for the prey's weakness.

Lin Yu, within the Star Domain, also felt immense pressure. The Dark Qilin's dark power surged wave after wave, relentlessly impacting the Star Domain, attempting to break through it. The dark power, like raging black waves, constantly crashed against the boundaries of the Star Domain, each impact causing it to tremble. "Hold on, we must hold on until Su Yao's Ice and Snow Burial is complete. As long as we work together, we can definitely defeat it," he encouraged himself, constantly adjusting the direction of his Star Sword Qi, using his control over the Star Domain to find the Dark Qilin's weakest point. His gaze was firm and focused, and he wielded his Star Sword even more swiftly, unleashing a torrent of Star Sword Qi towards the Dark Qilin.

Finally, Su Yao completed her Ice and Snow Burial technique. Countless blocks of ice completely buried the Dark Qilin, forming a massive iceberg. This iceberg soared into the clouds, radiating a bone-chilling cold, as if to freeze everything in the world into eternal silence. The surface of the iceberg shimmered with crystalline light, like a giant mirror, reflecting everything around it. Lin Yu and the mysterious expert looked at the iceberg and breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if they saw the dawn of victory.

But before they could even rejoice, a violent tremor suddenly erupted from within the iceberg. The Dark Qilin's roar pierced through the ice, echoing outwards. The roar was filled with rage and resentment, as if it wanted to shatter the iceberg. "Damn it, it's not dead yet!" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. A sense of foreboding washed over him, like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, instantly sobering him up. He knew that this battle was far from over; the Dark Qilin remained a formidable threat to them…
