Su Ran nodded and said, "That's right, we need to take the initiative and find its weaknesses. But everyone is currently exhausted, so we must come up with a comprehensive plan." Under immense pressure, everyone struggled to maintain their defense while quickly devising a countermeasure.
Lin Yang's eyes were fixed on the behemoth, his mind racing. He noticed that each time the beast roared, the scales on its neck would tremble slightly, as if that area was a weak point. He shouted, "Watch the beast's neck! That might be its weak point! Everyone, seize the opportunity and attack together!"
At this moment, the behemoth roared again, its sonic waves even more powerful than before. The light on the defensive system flickered more intensely, as if it would shatter at any moment. One of the sword cultivators from the Spirit Sword Sect, having previously exhausted himself, had his sword energy barrier crack first. Immediately afterward, the runic defensive array also began to tremble.
"Hold on!" shouted an elder from Zixiao Palace, his hands rapidly forming hand seals in an attempt to strengthen the runic defensive array. However, the giant beast seemed to sense everyone's attention on its neck and began to deliberately use its massive head to cover it.
Seeing this, Lin Yang felt a surge of anxiety. He knew that if they couldn't break through quickly, everyone would be in dire straits. He said to Su Ran, "I'll distract it. You find the right moment and unleash your strongest ice spell to attack its neck!" Su Ran nodded slightly, her eyes revealing determination.
Lin Yang took a deep breath, deactivated his Star Shield, and, wielding the Starry Golden Sword, charged towards the giant beast like lightning. He unleashed the "Starry Phantom Step," his figure flashing rapidly around the beast as he unleashed sword energy aimed at its eyes, limbs, and other parts. Enraged by Lin Yang's attacks, the beast swung its massive claws down at him. Lin Yang nimbly dodged, narrowly avoiding each strike just as the claws were about to land, narrowly escaping death.
"Now!" Lin Yang shouted, seizing the moment the giant beast exposed its neck as it attacked him. Su Ran was already poised to strike. She raised her hands high, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet and the moisture in the air to condense into massive ice spikes. "Ice Dragon Sky-Splitting Strike!" Su Ran cried out, and several ice dragons made of ice spikes roared towards the giant beast's neck.
The ice dragon slammed into the behemoth's neck with tremendous force. With a piercing scraping sound, several scales were knocked off the behemoth's neck, revealing the slightly pinkish flesh beneath, where several deep bloody gashes appeared. The behemoth roared in pain, its massive body beginning to writhe wildly.
"Attack together, everyone!" Lin Yang shouted, seizing the opportunity. The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect unleashed their strongest sword techniques, streaks of sword energy shooting towards the giant beast's neck like lightning. The disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace condensed runes into a massive rune cannonball, blasting it towards the beast's neck. The disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect compressed their Azure Cloud power into sharp blades, attacking the beast's neck along with their sword energy.
The behemoth sensed a deadly threat, and a flicker of fear crossed its eyes. It stopped blindly attacking Lin Yang and instead tried to protect its neck with its body. But the attacks rained down on it, and it was utterly unable to withstand them.
However, just when everyone thought they were about to defeat the behemoth, it suddenly emitted a thick black mist from its entire body. The mist quickly spread, enveloping the entire hall. Everyone was plunged into darkness, only able to hear the behemoth's heavy breathing echoing around them, but completely losing sight of it.
"Be careful, it might attack from the shadows!" Lin Yang shouted a warning. The group immediately formed a circle, back to back, vigilantly watching their surroundings. Suddenly, a gigantic claw emerged from the black mist, reaching for a young disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace. Lin Yang reacted swiftly, instantly appearing in front of the disciple, his Starry Golden Sword slashing fiercely at the claw. With a clang, like metal clashing, the powerful recoil made Lin Yang's arm go numb, but he had managed to block the attack.
Within the black mist, the group was trapped in a passive defensive posture. Every attack relied solely on instinct, while the behemoth could launch surprise attacks at any moment under the cover of the mist. Su Ran frowned deeply; she knew this couldn't continue. She closed her eyes, concentrated, and sensed the elemental fluctuations around her. She discovered that the black mist seemed to be formed from a special kind of dark element, and that the flow of this dark element subtly changed each time the behemoth moved.
"Listen up, everyone! I can sense the giant beast's location through the flow of dark elements. I'll call out the attack direction, and we'll all attack together!" Su Ran said. Hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.
Relying on his perception of dark elements, Su Ran shouted, "Left front, three meters away!" Without hesitation, everyone unleashed various spells towards the left front. A booming sound followed, and a roar came from the black mist, clearly indicating that the attack had struck it.
Taking advantage of the giant beast's injury, Su Ran continued, "Five meters directly ahead!" The group launched another attack.
