Chapter 6: The Mission to Save the Spirits

As the black-robed man's wild laughter fell, the dark power on the altar became more and more intense, churning and roaring like black flames, and the entire hall was enveloped in this evil aura. Lin Yu and the three of them felt unprecedented pressure, but they did not have the slightest intention of backing down.

Lin Yu knew that the key to this battle was to prevent the black-robed man from completing the ritual, he gritted his teeth, and the power of the stars burst out without reservation. His eyes shone with brilliant starlight, and his figure streaked across the battlefield like a meteor, aiming directly at the black-robed man on the altar. Along the way, all the Shadow Cultists who stood in his way were all knocked away by him with his Chaos Palm, and the powerful power of the stars made it impossible for these dark cultivators to resist at all.

Seeing this, Su Yi and Su Yao also cooperated with each other to contain the surrounding enemies for Lin Yu. Su Yi's spiritual power long sword swung impenetrable, and one after another sword qi crisscrossed and forced the black-robed people who were close to Lin Yu to retreat. Su Yao used the spiritual power of the water system to build a series of water curtain shields around them, not only resisting the enemy's attacks, but also shooting ice arrows from the water curtain from time to time, making the enemy unable to defend against them.

However, the Shadow Cultists were not afraid of death, and rushed towards Lin Yu and the three of them one after another. Their minds have been eroded by the dark forces, and they only know how to carry out the orders of the sect master, completely disregarding their own safety. The battle intensified, blood stained the floor of the hall red, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Lin Yu finally broke through the obstacles and came to the altar. The black-robed man looked at him coldly, with a hint of disdain on his face: "Just you, you want to stop me?" With that, his hands quickly sealed, and the dark runes on the ancient books shone brightly, and a black pillar of light shot from the altar into the sky, as if to drag the entire world into the abyss of darkness.

Lin Yu's heart sank, he felt the power of this dark force, and knew that he had reached the critical moment of life and death. He took a deep breath and ran the Chaos Star Recipe to the extreme, and the power of the stars in his body echoed with the stars around him. His body seemed to have become a container for the power of the stars, and the light grew brighter and stronger, even overshadowing the light of the dark pillar.

"Stop!" Lin Yu let out a loud shout, exerted all his strength, and slammed the Chaos Palm towards the black pillar of light. The power of the stars collided violently with the forces of darkness in mid-air, emitting a deafening roar. For a moment, the entire hall trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Su Yi and Su Yao also tried their best to fight to the death against the remaining Shadow Cultists. They knew that Lin Yu was in the most crucial battle with the dark forces at the moment, and they had to buy him time. Su Yi's spiritual power sword was broken, but he still relied on his tenacious will to slay the enemy. Su Yao's face was as pale as paper, and the consumption of the water system spiritual power made her almost collapse, but she still held on and guarded Lin Yu with her last strength.

In the fierce confrontation, Lin Yu gradually felt that the power of the stars began to gain the upper hand. The light of the black pillar of light gradually dimmed, but the light of the stars on his body became more and more dazzling. Finally, with a loud bang, the black pillar of light was completely defeated, and the dark power receded like a tide.

Seeing this, the black-robed man's face changed greatly, and he was unwilling to fail like this, and tried to attack again. But how could Lin Yu give him a chance, he stepped forward and used the Chaos Palm again, directly knocking the black-robed man away. The black-robed man slammed into the wall, spitting blood, and no longer had the strength to resist.

With the fall of the black-robed man, the remaining Shadow Cultists were suddenly leaderless, and they scattered one after another. Lin Yu and the three of them were also so tired that they collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. The battle was tough, but they came out victorious in the end.

"We succeeded..." Su Yi said weakly, a relieved smile on his face.

Lin Yu and Su Yao also looked at each other and smiled, although they were scarred, their hearts were full of a sense of accomplishment. They knew that this was just a confrontation with the Shadow Cult, and that the Shadow Cult's power was far more than that, and the spirit world was still facing a huge threat.

"We can't let our guard down." Lin Yu slowly stood up and said with a firm gaze, "The Shadow Sect will not give up, we must find a way to completely eliminate them and save the Spirit Realm." "

Su Yi and Su Yao nodded, they knew that Lin Yu was right. From this moment on, they have taken on the mission of saving the spirit world, and an even more difficult battle is about to begin... They decided to return to Breeze Town first to recuperate from their injuries, while also asking the people for more information about the Shadow Cult in preparation for the next battle.

Upon returning to Breeze, the people were grateful to them to learn that they had successfully defeated the Shadowcult. Lin Yu and the three of them recuperated in the inn for a few days, and their injuries gradually improved. During this time, they learned from the people that the Shadow Cult's power had spread throughout the spirit realm, and that they were looking for some mysterious treasures, and seemed to be plotting a larger conspiracy.

"It seems that the goal of the Shadow Cult is not simple." Lin Yu frowned and said, "We must find their headquarters as soon as possible and stop their plot." 

Su Yi and Su Yao agreed, and they began to ask around for clues about the Shadow Cult's headquarters. After some hard work, they finally learned that the headquarters of the Shadow Cult was located in the deepest part of the spirit realm, the Dark Abyss. It's a harsh environment, full of dangers, and guarded by powerful dark creatures. But Lin Yu and the three of them did not have the slightest fear, they decided to embark on a journey to the dark abyss, completely destroy the Shadow Sect, and restore peace to the spirit world.
