A flash of inspiration struck Lin Yang, and he recalled an ancient method for breaking formations using stars. He had once stumbled upon it in an ancient book, a technique called "Starfall Formation-Splitting Technique." This technique required the power of stars to simulate the trajectory and force of a falling star, impacting the core of the formation and thus disrupting its balance. However, performing this technique was extremely dangerous; it not only consumed a vast amount of spiritual energy, but also risked triggering a backlash from the formation if not handled carefully.

Lin Yang shared his idea with everyone. Although they felt it was risky, they had no better option at the moment. Su Ran looked at Lin Yang with concern and said, "This technique is too dangerous. If you use it, you will probably suffer a great loss of energy. But we have no choice but to try it now. I will use my Ice Spirit Power to protect you and minimize the backlash damage to you."

Disciples from other sects also pledged their full support to Lin Yang. The Zixiao Palace disciples produced several amplification runes, preparing to enhance Lin Yang's stellar power when he casts spells. The Qingyun Sect disciples surrounded Lin Yang, setting up the Qingyun Guardian Array to defend against any unexpected attacks. The Lingjian Sect sword cultivators operated their sword array to its maximum potential, ready to respond to any unforeseen circumstances.

Lin Yang took a deep breath, channeling all his spiritual energy, and the Starry Golden Sword in his hand shone brightly. He pointed the sword at the crystal ball, chanting incantations, and began to cast the "Starfall Array Splitting Technique." A vast surge of stellar power erupted from his body, flowing along the sword and converging into a dazzling beam of starlight, which shot straight towards the array on the crystal ball.

The formation was impacted, its light flickering, and waves of spiritual energy emanated from the crystal ball. Su Ran immediately activated her Ice Spirit Power, forming an ice-blue shield around Lin Yang to resist the backlash from the formation. The disciples of Zixiao Palace seized the opportunity, throwing out amplification runes. The runes transformed into streams of light, merging into the power of the stars, making them even more potent.

However, the formation's resistance exceeded everyone's expectations. The patterns on the crystal ball's surface spun rapidly, generating a powerful backlash that directly broke through the Qingyun Sect disciples' protective formation and swept towards Lin Yang. Lin Yang groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, continuously channeling his stellar power into the formation.

Seeing this, the sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect unleashed the Sword Control Formation, slashing with fierce sword energy at the recoil force in an attempt to alleviate the pressure on Lin Yang. The sword formation collided with the recoil force, producing a deafening roar, and the spiritual energy in the secret chamber overflowed, creating chaos.

With everyone's combined efforts, the backlash was finally suppressed temporarily. Lin Yang seized the opportunity to increase the output of his stellar power, making the starlight even more dazzling, like a real fallen star crashing heavily into the formation. The formation's light began to dim, and cracks appeared in some of its patterns.

Just when everyone thought the formation was about to be broken, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a strange purple light. The formation, which had shown cracks, instantly recovered and became even more powerful. Immediately afterward, countless purple vines spread out from the crystal ball and rushed towards the group.

These vines were incredibly tough, covered in a crystalline substance that rendered them impervious to ordinary attacks. The Azure Cloud Sect disciples' Azure Cloud Blazing Flame Spell only caused the vines to pause briefly before continuing to extend. The sword energy of the Spirit Sword Sect cultivators struck the vines, leaving only shallow marks.

Su Ran frowned and used the Ice Spirit Prison Technique to try and trap the vines with solid ice. However, the vines quickly broke through the ice prison and continued to approach the group. The disciples of Zixiao Palace tried to attack the vines with various runes, but the power of the runes only slightly slowed the vines down, unable to stop their advance.

Seeing the wildly growing vines, Lin Yang knew he couldn't continue the assault. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy, withdrew his star power, and temporarily halted his attack on the formation. While dodging the vines' attacks, he observed their patterns. He discovered that the vines seemed to be attacking the crystal ball at a specific frequency.

Lin Yang shouted, "Don't attack the vines blindly! Observe their movement patterns first. We need to find their weaknesses and concentrate our attacks to have a chance to break through this predicament." Hearing this, everyone stopped attacking blindly and instead carefully observed the vines while dodging their attacks.

After some observation, Su Ran discovered that the interval between each attack by the vines was similar to the frequency of a certain fluctuation in ice-type spiritual energy. She quickly informed Lin Yang of this discovery: "Lin Yang, the interval between the vines' attacks is similar to a certain frequency of ice-type spiritual energy. Perhaps we can use this to disrupt their attack rhythm with ice-type spiritual energy."

Lin Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, Su Ran, unleash your full power of ice magic to disrupt the vines' rhythm. The disciples of Zixiao Palace, prepare powerful runes; once the vines' rhythm is disrupted, launch a rune attack. The disciples of Qingyun Sect, use Qingyun power to bind the vines, and the sword cultivators of Lingjian Sect..."
