Chapter 82 The Desperate Situation of the Spiritual Source: The Battle to Break the Formation

The moment Lin Yu and his group stepped into the Spiritual Source Land, it was as if they had stepped into a cursed world. Everywhere they looked, there were oppressive and gloomy scenes that made it hard to breathe. The leaden gray sky was like a huge and heavy tombstone hanging heavily above their heads, as if it could crash down at any moment and crush everything into powder. This oppressive atmosphere pressed so heavily on their chests that every breath felt like pulling on a heavy shackle, and they were almost suffocated.

The thick evil aura was like thick ink, spreading wantonly without any scruples. Strands of this aura, like tentacles hidden in the depths of the darkness, slowly seeped into every inch of the surrounding space, as if trying to drag the whole world into the endless abyss of darkness, completely devouring and crush it, leaving no trace behind. There was a disgusting stench of decay in the air, as if countless rotting corpses were piled up like mountains, fermenting and deteriorating in a dark and damp corner, emitting a creepy smell. This smell continuously irritated everyone's olfactory nerves, making them feel afraid. It seemed that this land had already been completely eroded by evil, with all vitality extinguished and turned into a forbidden land of death.

Lin Yu and the others, standing in this evil land, had expressions as solemn as if they were carrying a huge weight on their shoulders. Every step they took was extremely heavy. They quickly gathered around the evil formation that emitted a strange and dim light. Everyone's face was filled with concentration and vigilance. The formation hung quietly in mid-air, like an ancient giant beast that had been lying dormant for countless years, hiding in the darkness and peeking at everything with its cold and malicious gaze. The aura it emitted was terrifying. Every slight fluctuation was like the whispers of the souls from the abyss of hell, telling of endless death and despair, making a chill involuntarily rise from the bottom of their hearts and their spines tingle.

Looking closely, the lines of this formation were twisted and complex, like countless black vipers madly coiling and wriggling around each other. The ferocious postures of those vipers seemed as if they would pounce on people at any moment and mercilessly crush their lives. The runes flashed with a strange dark red light, like a pair of demonic eyes hidden in the darkness, exuding a terrifying aura. This was an evil crystallization formed by the fusion of dark magic and evil restrictions. In every rune and the eye of the formation, there was a powerful and almost terrifying evil force sealed, as if they were imprisoned demons roaring and struggling in the darkness. If one accidentally touched it, a deadly attack that could destroy the heavens and the earth would be instantly released, turning everything around into nothingness, leaving not even a single piece of armor, and making all things in the world vanish in the face of this force.

Lin Yu, a genius with unparalleled talent in the field of formations, now had his eyebrows tightly furrowed, forming a deep character like "Chuan", just like the solemn thoughts and worries in his heart. However, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could penetrate through the layers of fog and darkness and see through all the mysteries of the world. Over the years, he had been deeply immersed in the study of various strange and profound formations. Whether it was the ancient and mysterious ancient formations that carried the vicissitudes of time or the strange and unpredictable foreign formations full of exotic styles, he knew them like the back of his hand. Through countless life-and-death trials, he had accumulated rich experience. These experiences were like shining stars embedded deep in his memory, allowing him to remain calm and composed no matter what kind of difficulties he faced. And now, with the blessing of the chaotic power, his perception ability had become extraordinarily sharp, as if he had a "heavenly eye" that could see through the essence of the formation and capture the slightest changes and flaws in the formation.

He slowly paced around the formation, his steps light and steady. Every step seemed to be a conversation with heaven and earth, after careful consideration. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if it could penetrate the surface of the formation and reach deep into its core, not missing any small detail. From the complex and intricate lines of the formation, to the flickering frequency of the runes, and then to the faint energy fluctuations of the eye of the formation, he carefully observed each one, like a rigorous scholar studying a rare treasure. The chaotic power slowly circulated in his body, like a lively dragon, shuttling through his meridians and faintly competing with the evil force outside. Nourished by this mysterious power, his thinking became clearer, like lighting a lamp in the darkness, illuminating his path to explore the mysteries of the formation and leading him step by step closer to the truth.

Time passed slowly in this space filled with an evil aura, and every minute and every second seemed extremely long. Lin Yu was completely immersed in his understanding of the formation. All the noise and disturbance from the outside world seemed to be cut off from him. At this moment, there was only this mysterious and evil formation in his world. Finally, after a long time of observation and hard thinking, a barely noticeable light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. That was a spark of wisdom blooming in an instant, like a shooting star streaking across the darkness. Although it was brief, it was extremely dazzling. He had discovered the flaw in this complex formation. It was a tiny loophole hidden among the layers of runes and the eye of the formation, like a ray of dawn in the darkness. Although it was faint, it gave them hope of breaking the formation and allowed them to see a glimmer of life in this desperate situation.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the excitement in his heart, and quickly turned around to give instructions to the members of the team behind him. His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to contain infinite power, carrying an unquestionable dignity, echoing in this space filled with an evil aura: "Listen up, everyone. Act according to my instructions. There must be no slightest mistake! This is the key to breaking the formation, and it is related to the success or failure of everything!"

The members of the team nodded one after another. Their eyes were filled with trust in Lin Yu. During this long adventure journey, Lin Yu had, with his outstanding wisdom and powerful strength, led them out of danger in desperate situations many times, and he had already won the respect and trust of everyone. Under Lin Yu's command, everyone carefully approached the key part of the formation. Their steps were slow and cautious. Every step seemed to be on the verge of life and death, as if the ground beneath their feet was not solid but a minefield full of deadly traps. With the slightest carelessness, they would trigger the death mechanism.

They held their weapons in their hands, which emitted a faint light. Although the light was soft, it formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding evil aura, like little stars in the darkness, shining with a faint but firm light in this endless darkness, bringing a little warmth and hope. At the same time, Lin Yu circulated the chaotic power in his body. That mysterious and powerful force was like a lively dragon, slowly being released along his fingertips. The chaotic power carried a mysterious fluctuation that transcended the rules of the world, as if it were a force from the origin of the universe, precisely interfering with the energy operation of the formation. For a moment, the originally chaotic energy flow in the formation became even more chaotic, and the light flickered unsteadily, like a candle in the wind, swaying in the darkness and on the verge of going out at any moment. The formation let out dull roars, as if a wounded giant beast was struggling in pain. The sound echoed in the air, making everyone's eardrums ache, as if the whole world was trembling under the impact of this force.

After arduous efforts, the formation finally began to show signs of loosening. Tiny gaps appeared between the originally closely connected runes, and the dark red light was no longer so intense, as if it were a flame about to go out, struggling feebly in the wind. The fluctuations of the evil force also gradually weakened, and the suffocating stench in the air also faded a little. When everyone saw this scene, a glimmer of hope welled up in their hearts, as if they had seen the dawn breaking through the darkness in the dark, and they increased the intensity of their attacks. They seemed to see the dawn of victory just ahead. As long as they persevered a little longer, they could completely break this evil formation and rescue this land from the shroud of evil.

However, just when they were on the verge of successfully breaking the formation, something unexpected happened. The leader of the evil forces seemed to sense something strange in the Spiritual Source Land, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. He had originally been planning the next evil scheme in the dark palace. The palace was filled with a dark aura, and various evil magic tools were placed all around. Strange runes flickered on the walls. Suddenly, a feeling of unease shot through his body like an electric current, making him stand up abruptly from his seat. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, with dark clouds gathering and thunder and lightning flashing. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, like an enraged beast.

"Something's wrong. Someone is trying to break my formation!" he gritted his teeth and said, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness.

In the blink of an eye, he personally led a group of powerful subordinates and rushed towards the Spiritual Source Land as fast as a black bolt of lightning. These people exuded a thick evil aura, as if they were demons crawling out of the abyss of hell. Every pore on their bodies exuded a disgusting stench. There was cruelty and coldness in their eyes, and a disdainful sneer hung on their lips, as if in their eyes, Lin Yu and the others were just a group of overconfident ants that could be crushed to ashes with a gentle squeeze.

"You guys who don't know the meaning of life and death, how dare you try to break my formation!" The leader of the evil forces' voice resounded all around like a bell, carrying endless anger and majesty. His voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, making the surrounding air tremble and setting off a strong wind that made everyone's clothes flutter. As soon as the words fell, he waved his big hand and led the experts to launch a fierce attack on Lin Yu and the others. In an instant, various dark magics streaked across the sky like shooting stars, rushing towards Lin Yu and the others with a destructive aura. Black flames burned fiercely, as if they were going to burn everything to ashes; purple lightning crisscrossed, like sharp blades tearing through the air; green poisonous fog spread, and wherever it went, everything decayed and life withered. Various evil magics intertwined, forming a storm of death that swept towards Lin Yu and the others, as if it were going to completely swallow them up.

Lin Yu and the others quickly reacted and used their respective spells and unique skills to resist. Some people summoned shields that flashed with a soft light, protecting themselves and their teammates inside, like a solid fortress; some people used wind-based spells, and the strong wind howled up, trying to blow away the surging dark magic and make it dissipate in the wind; others waved their weapons in their hands, which emitted a dazzling light, directly facing those magic attacks and shattering them with their own strength, like heroic warriors charging into battle on the battlefield. A fierce battle broke out instantly in the Spiritual Source Land, with light sinterlace, spells roaring, and shouts of killing deafening. Various powerful forces collided with each other, and the resulting energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding space, as if it could collapse at any moment, and the whole world was tottering in the aftermath of this battle.

Lin Yu was well aware of the critical situation at the moment. The breaking of the formation had reached a crucial moment, and they must not fall short at the last moment. While commanding the team members to resist the enemy's attacks, he tried his best to continue interfering with the operation of the formation. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the sweat slid down his cheeks and was instantly swallowed up by the evil aura when it dropped to the ground. His face also turned as pale as paper due to excessive consumption, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. But his eyes were still as firm as iron, revealing an unyielding will, as if declaring to the whole world that he would never give up. He continuously adjusted the output of the chaotic power, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this chaotic situation and complete the breaking of the formation. He had only one belief in his heart: no matter what the cost, he must completely destroy this evil formation, stop the spread of the evil forces, and restore light and peace to this land...

In this moment filled with chaos and crisis, every second seemed extremely long. Lin Yu's mind was racing, thinking of countermeasures. He knew that at this moment, they not only had to fight a life-and-death battle with the leader of the evil forces and his subordinates but also had to seize the opportunity and control the intensity of interfering with the formation during the intervals of this fierce battle. Every output of the chaotic power needed to be accurate. With the slightest deviation, all their previous efforts might be in vain. Although the team members trusted him, facing such a powerful enemy and a complex situation, their physical strength and mental state were also under great pressure. Lin Yu had to find that glimmer of hope at this critical moment, lead everyone to break through the predicament, and achieve the breaking of the formation...
