The battle between Lin Yang and the shadow warriors reached its climax. The shadow warriors coordinated perfectly, forming a tight battle formation and launching continuous attacks on Lin Yang and his companions. Lin Yang wielded his Starry Golden Sword to parry the shadow warriors' blades while simultaneously observing their weaknesses.

Suddenly, Lin Yang noticed a subtle change in the shadow warriors' eyes before each attack, as if they were conveying some kind of signal. A thought struck him, and he decided to disrupt their rhythm. Lin Yang unleashed his "Starry Sky Illusionary Steps," his figure flashing like a dream, moving freely through the shadow warriors' formation. Taking advantage of a gap in one of the shadow warriors' attacks, Lin Yang thrust his sword towards its throat. The shadow warrior reacted quickly, dodging to the side, but was still grazed by the sword's energy, dissipating into a wisp of black smoke.

Inspired by Lin Yang, the other disciples rallied. One disciple, skilled in water magic, cast "Water Curtain of Heaven," enveloping everyone in a crystal-clear water curtain. The shadow warriors' blades struck the water curtain, only splashing water. Another disciple seized the opportunity to unleash "Wind Blade Storm," countless wind blades sweeping towards the shadow warriors. Under the impact of the wind blades, the shadow warriors' formation began to crumble.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to gain the upper hand, the cave ceiling suddenly split open, and bolts of black lightning struck down. The lightning hit the ground, sending up showers of rubble. The shadow warriors seemed to be empowered by the black lightning, their strength increasing and their attacks becoming even more ferocious.

Lin Yang knew this couldn't continue. He circulated all his spiritual power, maximizing the power of the stars, and unleashed the forbidden spell "Starfall Annihilation." Countless meteors seemed to appear in the sky, falling towards the shadow warriors and the black lightning. Instantly, the cave was filled with light, the shadow warriors screamed in agony, and they vanished under the impact of the meteors. The black lightning was also suppressed.

However, Lin Yang had exhausted himself greatly from using this spell, his face turned ashen, and he swayed slightly. The other disciples quickly surrounded him, supporting him and channeling their spiritual energy to help him recover from his injuries.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng's team was also locked in a fierce battle in the central passage. Under the cover of energy turbulence, the stone monsters relentlessly attacked them. Ling Feng directed his disciples to dodge the energy turbulence while simultaneously searching for the stone monsters' weaknesses.

He discovered that the stone monsters' joints were relatively vulnerable, so he unleashed the "Sky-Splitting Peak Sword," a fierce attack specifically targeting the stone monsters' joints. Under the attack of the Sky-Splitting Peak, one of the stone monsters' arms was severed, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the ground. Seeing this, the disciples followed suit, launching targeted attacks on the stone monsters.

However, the power of the energy turbulence grew stronger, and one disciple, unable to dodge in time, was struck by it. His body was instantly shredded by the immense force, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Ling Feng was filled with grief, but he couldn't afford to be distracted for even a moment. He gritted his teeth and took out a defensive magic item from his storage ring—the Heavenly Gang Shield. The shield emitted a golden light, protecting everyone within it and temporarily withstanding the impact of the energy turbulence.

Just as Ling Feng and the others were struggling to hold on, a disciple skilled in rune arts discovered some strange runes on the walls of the passage. After careful examination, he found that these runes seemed to be able to manipulate energy turbulence. The disciple quickly informed Ling Feng of this discovery. Ling Feng was overjoyed and immediately instructed the disciple to attempt to decipher the runes.

After some effort, the disciple successfully deciphered the runes, and the direction of the energy turbulence began to change, surging towards the stone monsters. The stone monsters were crushed under the impact of the energy turbulence. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Feng and the others rushed forward, finally passing through this perilous passage.

Su Ran's team also encountered considerable trouble in the left passage. The icy chill grew stronger, and thick layers of ice covered the ground and walls. Icy traps appeared intermittently in the passage, posing a risk of injury if one wasn't careful.

Su Ran cast "Ice Spirit Protection," forming an ice-blue shield around everyone to defend against the icy attacks. At the same time, she used her control over ice-based powers to try and resonate with the icy aura within the passage, searching for a way to pass through.

Suddenly, a gigantic ice bear burst from the ice, roaring as it charged towards the group. The bear was enormous and incredibly strong; each step it took caused the ground to tremble. Su Ran swiftly unleashed "Ice Dragon Roar," sending a colossal dragon formed from ice elements rushing towards the ice bear. The ice dragon and the ice bear collided, producing a deafening roar.

The other disciples also unleashed various spells to attack the ice bear. One disciple cast "Blazing Sun Melting Ice Spell," sending a massive fireball hurtling towards the ice bear in an attempt to melt its ice layer. However, the ice bear's defenses were extremely strong; the fireball only caused some cracks in the ice layer when it struck.

The ice bear roared and swung its massive paw, sending a disciple flying. Su Ran's heart tightened, and he used his power again.
