The Eternal Night's Bloody War

Lost in the mist, the five warriors, along with Yan Xi and Ling Yue, finally reached the legendary Taihua Sacred Mountain. This was a place where only the purest souls could pass—a land where celestial energy gathered. Here, they had to meet the ancient sage, Tian Xuanzi (天玄子), who possessed knowledge of sealing rituals.

Yan Xi could still feel the echoes of the war they had left behind. He and his allies had walked through blood and ashes, defeating formidable foes. But the real battle had just begun—the unsealed darkness within Ling Yue was their greatest enemy.

Mo Ye vanished into the shadows, scanning the surroundings. "It's too quiet here…" he muttered, sensing a possible trap.

Yan Xi and Ling Yue stepped forward, leading the way inside. Within the sacred hall stood a man with white hair and eyes filled with the glow of the stars—Tian Xuanzi, the Sage of the Heavens.

Ling Yue's hands trembled involuntarily. At that moment, the demonic force within her surged violently, sending shockwaves through the temple.

Yan Xi grabbed her arm immediately. "Control yourself!"

But it was too late. The ceiling of the temple began to crack… and the spirits of the sacred mountain were awakening
