Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 315

Just as the rocks were about to hit the black crystal, the crystal suddenly shot out a strong black light, which "whooshed" the rocks away.

Now things were really going to get out of hand. The dark power surged up rapidly, and the vengeful spirits conjured by those dark creatures went berserk, their eyes bloodshot, and charged recklessly towards the patrol team.

The vengeful spirit's eyes were filled with a madness, blood red, accompanied by gusts of eerie wind, sending chills down one's spine.

The patrol team members fought back fiercely, their magical lights flashing, the sounds of weapons clashing, strange cries, and shouts rising and falling incessantly. Time passed in the midst of the battle, and everyone's spiritual energy was almost depleted.

Faced with this wave of vengeful spirits' frenzied attacks, the patrol team members' defenses were as flimsy as paper, as if a slight breeze could blow them down, and they were on the verge of collapse.

Just when everyone thought it was all over, Gu Shihhan made a tough decision: they had to finish this quickly, or everyone would die.

Forbidden techniques are her only option right now. She knows an extremely powerful ice-based forbidden technique, but this technique has significant side effects, making it a double-edged sword that could harm the enemy a thousand while injuring herself eight hundred.

It should never be used unless it is a matter of life and death, and it should also not be used if there are no believers around.

Gu Nansheng knew that she had truly reached a life-or-death moment, and with Shi Qinghan and the others around, she no longer had any reservations.

With a determined effort, she drew out the last bit of spiritual energy from her meridians and dantian, activating the forbidden technique.

Good heavens! A burst of cold air erupted from Gu Shihan's body with a "boom," freezing everything around her in the blink of an eye.

Those dark creatures turned into ice sculptures and shattered on the ground with a crackling sound.

The dark barrier couldn't withstand the icy cold force and cracked open.

Gu Shihan manipulated the cold air, turning it into countless ice spikes that shot towards the black crystal with a "whoosh" sound.

The ice spike pierced through the crack and slammed into the crystal. The crystal trembled violently, its mysterious runes flashing. A moment later, with a deafening roar, the crystal exploded, and the dark power vanished like a receding tide.

The cave stopped shaking, and all the dark creatures vanished completely.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground from exhaustion. Gu Shihan looked at everyone, smiled with relief, and then fainted.

"Shi Han!"

"Sister!"

"Junior sister!"

"Gu Daoyou!"

Everyone was startled and, disregarding their own lack of spiritual power, quickly gathered around.

Duan Siqi helped Gu Shihan up, quickly fed her a top-grade spirit-replenishing pill, and then dripped a drop of spiritual liquid onto her.

Xiao Lian, who had been quiet all along, emerged from the Moonlight Space and used her Wood Spirit Power to clear Gu Shihan's meridians, allowing spiritual energy to slowly nourish her entire body.

Xingbai saw Xiaolian and exclaimed happily, "Xiaolian, you've finally advanced to human form! That's great! Now Hanhan has another helper."

Yes, ever since Gu Shihan recognized her as her master, Xiao Lian has remained in her sea of ​​consciousness and has never awakened.

Xiao Lian looked at Xing Bai and said somewhat apologetically, "Xing Bai, Yu Tong, I'm sorry for taking so long to come out and help. You've worked hard. From now on, let's protect our master together and help him return to his peak."

Shi Qinghan and the others were completely dumbfounded; they had no idea that Xiao Lian even existed. Mo Yu tugged at Xing Bai and whispered, "Xing Bai, is Xiao Lian a wood spirit? When did Junior Sister recognize her as her master?"

“Senior Brother Moyu, Xiaolian is a Tranquil Lotus, and it has recognized its master a long time ago. It has just been sleeping, so no one has ever seen it,” Xingbai explained with a smile.

Everyone was busy working around Gu Shihan when suddenly, a low rumbling sound came from deep inside the cave.

Everyone immediately became alert, jumped to their feet, and prepared to continue the fight.

Then a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the inner part of the cave. Good heavens, it was a dark behemoth several times larger than the previous monster.

The behemoth exuded a thick aura of darkness, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

Xiao Lian cried out nervously, "This is the source of dark power, a terrifyingly powerful monster! You all need to be careful. Leave the master to me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale instantly.

Having just finished a major battle, and now facing such a formidable opponent, my spiritual energy and physical strength are almost depleted.

Even while unconscious, Gu Shihan seemed to sense the danger, her brows furrowed tightly, and the icy power within her body was about to erupt again.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lian quickly increased her output of Wood Spirit power in an attempt to stabilize Gu Shihan's condition.

Xingbai gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, we can't give up. Let's fight!"

Everyone nodded, bracing themselves, ready to fight the dark behemoth to the death.

Just then, Gu Shihan slowly opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, everyone, I still have strength." As she spoke, she began to gather her icy power again, preparing to meet the new challenge.

Despite the excruciating pain, Gu Shihan gathered all her remaining spiritual energy into her palm. In no time, a dazzling ball of ice-blue light quickly took shape in her hand.

The dark behemoth roared as it charged forward, leaving deep, cracking ravines in its wake.

Gu Shihan seized the opportunity and suddenly threw out the icy blue light. The light instantly transformed into a huge ice wall, which stood in front of the giant beast.

The giant beast slammed into the ice wall, causing cracks to appear, but it temporarily blocked its attack.

Xingbai and the others also unleashed their spells, attacking the giant beast from different directions. Xingbai's power of light and Gu Shihan's power of ice worked together to leave wounds on the giant beast's body.

But this giant beast has thick hide and flesh, so this little injury is like a tickle to it, and it doesn't care at all.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, Xiaolian suddenly shouted, "I feel that the giant beast's weakness is in its eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan concentrated her energy and manipulated the icy power into several ice needles, which shot towards the giant beast's eyes with a "whoosh".

The ice needles struck precisely, causing the giant beast to roar in pain, and its attacks weakened. Seizing the opportunity, everyone launched a final, powerful attack, finally defeating the beast.

The dark power was completely gone, and the cave returned to peace. Gu Shihan collapsed to the ground again and could only recover on the spot.

After a while, everyone's spiritual power had almost recovered, and they continued to check the situation.

Xiao Lian transformed into a small lotus flower and placed it on Gu Shihan's head. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Master, there is a palace on Yunxiao Mountain, a hundred miles away from us, with a double-sided stone statue inside. That should be the ultimate source of evil."

"Xiao Lian, a stone statue? What does 'the ultimate source of evil' mean?" Gu Shihan asked, frowning.
