Lin Dong successfully absorbed the water energy, breaking through to the late stage of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven. He requested Tian Sha's protection during the process, and despite his own underlying caution, Lin Dong allowed himself to trust Tian Sha. Following Lin Dong's breakthrough, they discussed the potential of the Water Origin within the forbidden array and proceeded towards its entrance.

Deep within the ancient and mysterious ruins, Lin Dong stood shoulder to shoulder with Tian Sha, their sight fixed upon the intricate and formidable forbidden formation array before them.

This array, as old as existence itself, pulsed with circulating runes and ethereal light, exuding an undeniable aura of power and authority.

Observing the formation's restriction, Tian Sha appeared deeply solemn.

His voice, tinged with reverence, slowly broke the silence: "Lin Dong, this formation before us is no ordinary barrier. Should one attempt to breach it with sheer force, I fear even an existence at the Sub-Ancestor Level would struggle to make it yield."

"To shatter it completely, even powerhouses at the Sub-Ancestor Level might lack the absolute certainty."

"The key to its unraveling lies within the Five Elements Origin Heart. Precisely how to utilize it, however, remains unknown to me."

"Therefore, the task falls to you."

Tian Sha's gaze, sharp as a raptor's, settled upon Lin Dong.

He was fully aware that the Five Elements Origin Heart residing within Lin Dong held the critical solution to overcoming this formidable restriction.

Lin Dong drew a deep breath, his entire focus narrowing onto the formation array. He could sense that as his gaze met the array, the Five Elements Origin Heart within him responded to an unseen force, beginning to pulse with vigor in his chest.

This sensation, both alien and familiar, felt akin to an ancient linkage between himself and the universe reawakening.

"It appears that dispelling this formation is indeed intrinsically tied to the Five Elements Origin Heart," Lin Dong mused inwardly, his eyes alight with nascent resolve.

He understood the profound significance of breaching this particular formation.

Taking another steadying breath, Lin Dong closed his eyes in concentration, plunging himself entirely into the subtly luminous formation array.

The Five Elements Origin Heart thrummed within him, resonating with an external resonance, and a warm yet potent Qi surged forth from his core, coursing gently through his meridians toward his outstretched hands.

With a focused intent, this Qi reshaped itself into five beams of multicolored light, each aligning with the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They intertwined and spiraled in the air, coalescing into a resplendent Five-Colored Spirit Bird that radiated a peculiar brilliance, which then delicately made contact with the ancient restriction.

Tian Sha observed from the side, his eyes fixedly tracking the event, a silent astonishment dawning within him. While he knew of Lin Dong's possession of the Five Elements Origin Heart, he had not anticipated such an effortless display of its power.

The moment the Five-Colored Spirit Bird touched the formation, the previously inert array seemed to awaken. Its surface shimmered with intricate runic light that began to interweave with the Five Elements Qi emitted by Lin Dong, crafting complex and inscrutable patterns.

Beads of sweat beaded on Lin Dong's forehead, his expression one of intense concentration. Drawing upon his profound comprehension of elemental principles and his nuanced control over the Origin Heart, he meticulously guided the Qi along a precise trajectory, seeking the linchpin to unlock the restriction.

Each manipulation felt like a profound dialogue with ancient knowledge, a challenge brimming with intricate fascination.

As the quiet passage of time unfolded, the world outside seemed to fade into stillness, leaving only the subtle contest between Lin Dong and the formation's barrier.

Finally, after an effort that nearly drained his mental reserves, a distinct oscillation rippled across the surface of the restriction. Then, as if guided by an unseen hand, it parted with a slender fissure.

"It worked!" A wave of elation washed over Lin Dong, and he immediately intensified his output, the Five Elements Origin Heart sensing and amplifying its master's surge of determination.

The luminescence of the Five-Colored Spirit Bird grew even more radiant, swiftly expanding the crack until the entire restriction fractured with a resonant boom, dissolving into motes of light that vanished into the ether.

Tian Sha, witnessing this, betrayed a fleeting flicker of shock in his eyes.

A smile of triumph graced his face, and he advanced a few steps, joining Lin Dong as they gazed into the newly revealed expanse beyond the barrier, which hinted at deeper secrets and undiscovered opportunities.

"Lin Dong, this is magnificent; the formation restriction has truly been breached." Tian Sha's voice held a subtle tremor of excitement.

"The Origin Power lies within. Haha, it seems our acquisition of that Origin Power is imminent today."

Lin Dong offered a nod, his eyes alight with a mixture of resolve and eager anticipation.

He understood that this was merely the prelude; the true trial lay just ahead.

Precisely as Lin Dong focused his intent entirely on channeling the Five Elements Origin Heart's potency to decipher the ancient formation, the ambient air suddenly disturbed with an unusual tremor.

A ripple, entirely unrelated to Lin Dong’s surging Five Elements power or Tian Sha’s steady aura, manifested instead with a palpable threat and clear hostility.

Lin Dong’s heart clenched, his eyes snapping open to behold three figures materializing from the shadows as if they were apparitions.

These were none other than the three formidable cultivators he had previously encountered and clashed with: the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, the Gale Queen, and the Dragon Knight Vincent.

Their sudden arrival felt like a tempest, instantly shattering the preceding calm and tension.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan, adorned in golden robes, presented a visage of compassion, yet his eyes were as sharp as blades, capable of piercing through all worldly illusions.

The Gale Queen, swathed in a fiery red gown, moved with captivating grace, enveloped by a tempest of burning winds, resembling a goddess commanding the storms.

Dragon Knight Vincent, astride a magnificent Flood Dragon, exuded an aura of pride and immense power, his dragon scales shimmering and his gaze piercing.

"Haha, Lin Dong, you truly have surprised us," Dragon Knight Vincent boomed, his voice dripping with mockery and smug satisfaction. "Who would have imagined you could actually dismantle a formation that gave even us considerable trouble. Very well, we shall not stand on ceremony."

Vincent’s declaration laid bare his undisguised greed and ambition.

It was evident that the trio had been watching this location from the shadows, held back only by the potent formation.

They had concealed themselves using clandestine techniques.

Upon witnessing Lin Dong successfully breaking the formation, they had emerged without hesitation, eager to seize the opportunity to explore the legendary Origin Power.

Wasting no time, Dragon Knight Vincent transformed into a streak of light, hurtling at incredible speed towards the breach Lin Dong had just created in the formation.

His figure left a brilliant trail in the air, as if he were merging with the very sky.

Following suit, Golden Buddha Kuerzan and the Gale Queen also sprang into action immediately. Golden Buddha Kuerzan brought his palms together, murmuring incantations as golden light surged around him, accompanied by the phantom images of countless Buddha statues offering protection.

Concurrently, the Gale Queen released a delicate cry, unleashing her storm power which coalesced into a crimson tornado, surging into the restricted area.

It was clear the three were counting on Lin Dong’s hesitation to act rashly.

The moment he employed 'Sword Two,' he would deplete his most potent trump card.

Under such circumstances, facing three opponents of equal strength would undoubtedly place Lin Dong in an extremely disadvantageous position.

The Origin Power would then completely slip through his grasp.

Observing the reckless trio charging into the restricted zone, Lin Dong’s expression grew exceedingly grim.

His eyes blazed with a mixture of fury and frigid chill.

"Very well, no one has ever dared to pilfer my possessions, Lin Dong. This time, since you have entered, you shall not leave." A surge of killing intent inundated Lin Dong’s heart as he inwardly condemned the three to death.

Within the confines of the formation, though the Origin Power awaited, it would also serve as their final resting place.
