The ice spear shot towards the red dot on the ghostly phantom's forehead like a meteor. The ghostly phantom seemed to sense the danger, its massive body twisting violently in an attempt to dodge the attack. But Su Yao was prepared. She activated her spatial ability, creating a spatial constraint around the ghostly phantom, restricting its movements.
The ice spear struck the red dot precisely, emitting a dazzling light and a powerful energy surge. The ghostly phantom let out a piercing scream, its body trembling violently, and the surrounding air was thrown into chaos. However, it did not dissipate; instead, it struggled even more frantically.
"It's still strong, we have to keep attacking!" Su Yao shouted. Ling Yu nodded, his hands moving rapidly, gathering more ice energy in them. He created countless ice blades, which rained down on the ghostly phantom. Su Yao, using her spatial abilities, cleverly guided the ice blades' attack paths, directing them to strike the ghostly phantom's weaknesses from all directions.
The ghostly phantom swung its enormous arms, attempting to deflect the ice blades. However, due to Su Yao's spatial abilities interfering with its defenses, gaps appeared, and some of the ice blades successfully struck the red dot. With each strike, the ghostly phantom's power diminished, and its body became even more ethereal.
Just when they thought victory was in sight, the ghostly phantom suddenly unleashed a powerful mental shock. This shock, like a raging tsunami, crashed directly into Su Yao and Ling Yu's minds. They instantly felt dizzy, their heads throbbing, as if their souls were being ripped from their bodies.
"Hold on!" Su Yao gritted her teeth, struggling to resist the impact in her mental world. She activated the system's defense program, trying to alleviate the mental pressure. Ling Yu was also struggling to hold on, surrounding himself with his ice-type ability to form a mental shield while trying to stay conscious.
During the arduous resistance, Su Yao discovered that the ghostly phantoms' defenses weakened when unleashing their mental attacks. She relayed this information to Ling Yu through the system, and the two decided to seize this opportunity.
As the phantom launched its mental attack again, they endured the pain and charged towards it. Su Yao activated spatial compression, concentrating the surrounding spatial power into a massive energy sphere, while Ling Yu poured all his remaining ice-type energy into it. Together, they pushed the energy sphere towards the phantom's red dot.
The moment the energy sphere touched the red dot, it unleashed a devastating burst of energy. The ghostly phantom let out a final, desperate scream before vanishing completely. As the ghostly phantom disappeared, the tremors in the hall ceased, and the surrounding walls returned to calm.
Panting, Su Yao and Ling Yu walked to the stone platform. The box emitting an eerie light was right in front of them, and they could sense a powerful and mysterious force contained within it.
“Open it. This whole thing must be related to it,” Ling Yu said. Su Yao nodded, carefully reached out, and opened the box. Inside was a black crystal, from which black smoke seemed to flow, emanating an unsettling aura.
"What is this?" Su Yao frowned as the system began analyzing the black crystal. The analysis revealed that this crystal was the core of an evil force sealed by an ancient civilization. The appearance of the sand worms and the anomalies in the pyramids were due to the loosening of the seal, and its power was gradually being released.
“We must reseal it,” Su Yao said. But just then, the black crystal suddenly released a suction force, continuously drawing away their energy. They tried to break free, but the suction grew stronger and stronger, and their bodies gradually weakened.
"We can't let it succeed!" Ling Yu shouted. They concentrated all their willpower, trying to resist the suction with their supernatural abilities. Su Yao used spatial power to create a reverse spatial vortex around them, attempting to counteract the suction. Ling Yu, on the other hand, pushed his ice-type supernatural ability to its limit, forming a layer of ice armor around his body to prevent energy loss.
In this life-or-death moment, will they be able to break free from the black crystal's pull and reseal this evil power?
