Chen Wu and Yin Yue stood at the mouth of the cave, facing dozens of Yin Clan members who had surrounded them. Each one exuded an intimidating aura, ranging from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm.

“Looks like they’ve been expecting you, Chen Wu,” Yin Yue said, holding a talisman ready in her hand.

Chen Wu gripped the Blade of Darkness tightly. Though the artifact’s power gave him a significant edge, he knew facing such a large group of enemies simultaneously would not be easy.

“Seems I’ve become a special guest,” Chen Wu said as he stepped forward. “But this is just a warm-up for the stronger ones.”

One of the leaders, a tall man in a purple robe with long white hair, stepped out from the crowd. His sharp eyes burned with anger. “You’ve caused enough chaos, Chen Wu. Return the artifact, and we might let you live.”

Chen Wu smiled coldly. “Perhaps you should try taking it yourselves.”

At the leader’s signal, the Yin Clan forces moved in.

Swoosh!

Dozens of energy spears hurtled toward

    Chen Wu coughed, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, his eyes burned with unwavering determination. He stared at the Dark Blade in his hand, sensing the artifact's relentless will to dominate him."Still doubting me, Dark Blade?" Chen Wu murmured. "Fine, I'll prove once more that I am worthy of wielding you!"The aura of darkness surrounding the blade thickened, enveloping Chen Wu in a shroud of deathly energy. It healed his wounds and reinforced his body.Yin Tian observed the transformation with a wary expression. "What’s this? Your strength is growing?"Chen Wu straightened, his aura denser and more oppressive. "A two-star gap? I'll shatter that wall here and now!"With newfound speed, Chen Wu launched himself at Yin Tian, the Dark Blade emitting waves of intense black energy.Boom!Yin Tian blocked the strike, but this time, he felt its force. His feet shifted slightly under the impact."What are you doing, boy?!" Yin Tian growled, retaliating with a full-power atta

    Chen Wu walked slowly away from the battlefield. His breathing was heavy, and the Dark Blade in his hand appeared darker than ever, as though it had absorbed all the death energy around him. The aura emanating from the blade sent a chilling sensation through his body, but it also filled him with boundless strength.Yin Yue remained seated where she was, her eyes filled with hatred. Yet, she did not pursue Chen Wu. Doubt and fear crept into her heart, realizing that Chen Wu was no longer the same man she once knew."Chen Wu," she muttered softly. "You’ve become a monster beyond anything I could have imagined."Chen Wu left the cavern, stepping into the dense forest stretching to the north. The place was silent, save for the rustling leaves and the distant rumble of thunder. Despite his injuries, he kept moving without pause.Midway through his journey, the Dark Blade began to tremble. Its black aura grew more intense, and a cold voice once again echoed in Chen Wu’s mind."Why didn’t yo

    Chen Wu stood atop a small hill, gazing at the horizon where the Demon Mountains stretched into the distance. Thick mist enveloped their peaks, creating an intimidating atmosphere that could unsettle even the bravest of souls."The Demon Mountains," he murmured. "If I want to strengthen my body, that place will be the perfect trial."Zhao Feng, standing casually beside him with his arms crossed, smirked. "Are you sure you want to go there? That place isn’t just dangerous—it’s home to creatures even high-level cultivators would avoid."Chen Wu didn’t respond immediately. He rested his hand on the Dark Blade at his waist, feeling the steady flow of its aura merging with his own energy."Dangerous or not, I have no other choice," he finally said. "The stronger I become, the better my chances of survival."Zhao Feng nodded, his smile faint. "Then I’ll come along. Who knows? I might be of some help. Besides, I’m quite skilled at staying alive."Chen Wu shot him a sharp look. "You’re only h

    That night, a small campfire crackled softly, casting a dim light amidst the darkness of the forest at the foot of the Demon Mountains. Chen Wu leaned against a tree trunk, the Dark Blade resting at his side. Zhao Feng sat not far from him, poking the fire with a twig as the flames danced in the cool night air."You know, Chen Wu," Zhao Feng began, breaking the silence, "I could’ve chosen an easier path—stayed away from you and forgotten about all of this. But I didn’t."Chen Wu snorted lightly. "Why? Because you see me as a tool? A weapon you can use to exact your revenge?"Zhao Feng offered a faint smile. "Not a tool—a partner. We both know the Yin Clan isn’t an ordinary enemy. If I tried to fight them alone, it’d be suicide. But with you ... maybe we have a chance."Chen Wu shot him a sharp glare. "Do you think I care about your revenge? Or about the clans? All I want is to strengthen myself. This has nothing to do with your vendetta."Zhao Feng chuckled softly. "Of course. But you

    The night sky over the Demon Mountains glowed red from the flames emanating from a Level 4 Flame Beast. Its massive form resembled a lion with a blazing mane of fire. Every step it took cracked the ground, releasing clouds of smoke.Chen Wu stood still, his gaze serious. His breath was still labored from the previous battle, but retreat was not an option."This beast is comparable to a King Earth Realm cultivator," Zhao Feng muttered, standing beside him. "Are you sure we can handle it in this condition?"Chen Wu raised the Dark Sword, the black aura surrounding it intensifying. "We don’t have a choice. If we don’t defeat it, we die."The Flame Beast roared, releasing waves of heat that made the air around them ripple. With a swift motion, it lunged at Chen Wu, its fiery claws slashing toward him.Swoosh!Chen Wu dodged to the side, but the heat from the attack still singed part of his clothes. He countered with a slash from the Dark Sword aimed at the beast’s head.Clang!His blade s

    "If you're scared, go back. I won't stop you. After all, it was your choice to follow me," Chen Wu said firmly."A man must be bold! Besides, this trip helps sharpen my combat skills. And I heard there are plenty of rare medicinal herbs growing in the Devil's Mountains. Since few dare to venture here, I'm sure many are still untapped. I want those herbs to make pills," Zhao Feng replied enthusiastically."Are you an alchemist?""No, of course not. But I have an uncle who can do it, though he's just a first-level alchemist."Chen Wu raised an eyebrow. "A first-level alchemist? That's hardly enough to make anything truly valuable. What's the point of gathering medicinal herbs if your uncle can only make basic pills?"Zhao Feng chuckled and shrugged. "It's better than nothing. Besides, I'm just making use of what I can find. Who knows? Maybe I'll meet someone more skilled in the future."Chen Wu snorted softly, stepping past Zhao Feng. "If that's your plan, so be it. Just don't let your

    The Flame Demon Wolf wasted no time, leaping toward Chen Wu with incredible speed and releasing a fiery blast from its mouth.Chen Wu quickly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the attack. The flames scorched the trees behind him, reducing them to ashes within seconds.Zhao Feng tried to attack from the other side, hurling small knives coated with poison. However, the knives merely bounced off the Flame Demon Wolf's thick hide."Hurry, Chen Wu! Regular attacks won't work!" Zhao Feng shouted.Chen Wu scowled. "I know that. I need time to find its weakness."The wolf continued its relentless assault, using its speed to disorient Chen Wu. Despite this, Chen Wu remained calm, carefully observing the beast's movements.After a series of attacks, Chen Wu finally noticed a pattern. Each time the wolf leaped to strike, its underside was exposed for a few moments."Zhao Feng, distract it!" Chen Wu shouted.Zhao Feng nodded and began throwing knives toward the Flame Demon Wolf's eyes, forcing it to

    Chen Wu returned to Zhao Feng after completing the mysterious ritual at the altar. Zhao Feng was still unconscious but slowly began to stir. His face was pale, yet he managed to sit up with Chen Wu’s help."What happened earlier?" Zhao Feng asked weakly."You were struck by an unseen energy. I’ve dealt with it, but we need to leave now before something else happens," Chen Wu replied.Zhao Feng nodded. Though his body was weak, he followed Chen Wu, his steps faltering slightly.As they ventured deeper into the Demon Mountains, the atmosphere grew more oppressive. The ancient trees loomed overhead, their gnarled branches clawing at the sky. Distant growls and howls echoed through the forest, putting them on edge.Suddenly, Chen Wu halted. A cold, sinister air enveloped the area. "Stop," he said firmly."Why?" Zhao Feng whispered.Chen Wu didn’t answer. Instead, he focused his senses to pinpoint the source of the danger. Moments later, a massive creature emerged from the shadows. Its bod

    The corridor grew heavier with each step. After the fierce battle against Yue Sha and the shadow creatures, Chen Wu, Lan Mei, and Liu Yin remained vigilant. The air around them trembled subtly, as if something unseen was lurking in the darkness."The energy here is shifting…" Liu Yin whispered, his fingers gripping the ancient map tightly. "We're getting closer to the main chamber."Lan Mei ran her hand along the stone walls, which now felt warmer. "There's a power flowing through this place… like something is waiting for us."Chen Wu unsheathed his sword, his sharp eyes scanning the narrowing path ahead. "Whatever it is, we need to be ready."They continued forward until the corridor opened into a vast chamber. In its center stood an ancient altar, adorned with glowing inscriptions. Floating above it, a black tome hovered slowly, surrounded by swirling dark energy."The Shadow Heaven Codex…" Liu Yin murmured, his voice filled with both awe and trepidation.Before they could take anot

    The long, dark stone corridor welcomed them. A damp, ancient scent filled the air. The dim light from glowing crystals on the walls provided faint illumination, casting eerie shadows that danced along the passage.“We must stay alert,” Chen Wu whispered, his eyes sharply scanning every corner. “Yue Sha won’t let us walk through easily.”They moved cautiously, the echo of their footsteps reverberating down the hallway. Liu Yin tightly gripped the ancient scroll, trying to decipher the symbols carved into the walls. “These symbols... they look like protective spells. This place is guarded by ancient powers.”Lan Mei nodded, her fingertips brushing against one carving that radiated warmth. “The energy is pure... but something feels off.”BRUAAK!Suddenly, the wall behind them collapsed, sealing off their exit. Black mist swirled from the rubble, forming a tall figure with glowing red eyes.Yue Sha emerged from the shadows, her silver mask gleaming menacingly in the crystal light. “You’ve

    They began exploring the temple, following the clues from the ancient map. Every step was taken with caution, knowing that a single mistake could be fatal.In one of the chambers, they discovered an altar adorned with strange symbols. Atop the altar lay a small wooden box, encrusted with gemstones.“That must be the key,” Liu Yin whispered.But before they could take it, a rustling sound made them turn around. From the shadows, figures clad in black emerged—members of the Hai Clan.“We've been expecting you,” said their leader, a masked man with a hoarse voice.Chen Wu unsheathed his sword. “The Hai Clan. I should’ve known you wouldn’t let us go so easily.”A battle erupted. Chen Wu and Lan Mei fought the Hai Clan members with all their strength. Swords clashed, energy exploded around them, and the room trembled under the unleashed power.Meanwhile, Liu Yin attempted to grab the wooden box. But as soon as he touched it, a trap was triggered. The floor beneath him opened, revealing a p

    In the middle of a dense forest in the southern region, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stopped briefly to catch their breath. The sound of a small stream nearby was calming, but the atmosphere between them remained tense. The aftermath of the battle in Thousand Lights City still lingered, and they knew that their next move would determine their fate.Lan Mei sat on a large rock, cleaning the bloodstains from her sword. "We can't keep going like this, Chen Wu. Every time we move, they always find us. The Hai Clan won't stop until they capture you."Chen Wu stood at the riverbank, gazing at the flowing water with sharp eyes. "I know. But we have no other choice. The Heavenly Shadow Tome is the key to uncovering the truth I've been searching for. If the Hai Clan wants it, that means they know something we don't."Lan Mei sighed. "But is it worth the risk we're taking? The Hai Clan is not an opponent we can underestimate. Hai Yushuang clearly has a bigger plan, and she won’t stop until she gets what

    Inside a grand hall illuminated by dazzling crystal lights, a young woman sat on the main seat. She wore a red robe embroidered with gold, her long hair neatly tied, and her sharp eyes exuded dominance.In front of her, a man knelt with his head lowered. "Young Miss, we have confirmed that Chen Wu has left the Heavenly Light Sect and is currently in Thousand Lights City."The Young Miss of the Hai Clan—Hai Yushuang—smiled faintly, but behind that smile lay a dangerous intent. "So he finally left..."She held a teacup in her hand and took a slow sip. "And what about the people we sent?"The man swallowed before replying. "They... failed. Chen Wu killed them all."CRACK!The teacup in Hai Yushuang's hand cracked, spilling tea onto her fingers, but she didn't care. "As expected, he's not easy to deal with. But that doesn't matter."She stood and looked out the window. "He's always been a thorn in my side. This time, I won't let him escape."Her eyes gleamed coldly."Prepare our best peop

    Chen Wu and Lan Mei stood at the gates of the Heavenly Light Sect, gazing at the vast expanse of mountains stretching before them. The morning air was fresh, but in their hearts, there was an undeniable tension.Elder Xuan, along with several sect elders, accompanied them to the exit."The journey into the outer world will not be easy," Elder Xuan said with wisdom in his voice. "You must always be vigilant, especially against powerful organizations like the Sky Alliance, the Blood Demon Clan, and, of course, the Shadow Black Sect."Chen Wu nodded. "We understand, Elder."Lan Mei smiled faintly. "We will return one day, bringing glory to this sect."Elder Xuan chuckled. "I look forward to that day."After their final bow, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stepped out of the sect. With each step, they moved further away from the place they had called home.The Black Mist ForestSeveral days of smooth travel passed until they finally reached the Black Mist Forest—a place notorious for its natural pois

    Chen Wu continued staring at the empty hall entrance after the departure of the silver-haired man and his companions. Though his body felt exhausted, his mind was filled with countless questions.Who exactly was the Shadow Sect? And why were they interested in him?Lan Mei grasped his arm, her face full of concern. "You really need to be careful, Chen Wu. People like them don’t come without a reason."Chen Wu nodded. "I know. But I can’t just sit back without finding out what’s really going on."Lan Mei was silent for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Alright. If you really want to investigate, then I’m coming with you."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Lan Mei."Before they could discuss further, an elderly man in the sect’s elder robes entered the hall. His face, usually calm and wise, now bore a trace of concern."Chen Wu," he called in a firm voice.Chen Wu immediately bowed in respect. "Elder Xuan."Elder Xuan observed the disciples still gathered in the hall befor

    Chen Wu remained standing in place, feeling the throbbing pain from his wounds. Lan Mei supported him anxiously."We need to get you treated," she said.Chen Wu shook his head. "I'm fine. These aren't serious wounds."Lan Mei sighed, knowing how stubborn Chen Wu could be. "At the very least, we need to find out who that cloaked man was. He’s not an ordinary person."Chen Wu nodded. "I want to know too. But more importantly, he called this the 'first test.' That means more tests are coming."Lan Mei bit her lip. "Then we need to prepare. I won’t let you face this alone."They returned to the sect’s headquarters, where they trained. However, as they arrived, the atmosphere felt strange. The air was thick with tension, and several disciples whispered among themselves with anxious expressions.Chen Wu stopped a passing disciple. "What's going on?"The disciple looked at him seriously. "Visitors from an outside sect have arrived. They want to meet the most talented disciples."Chen Wu exch

    Chen Wu stood silently in the middle of the training ground, his mind filled with questions. The mysterious old man had appeared like a storm, delivering a lesson he had never expected. Despite his exhaustion, a stronger fire burned within him."Truly worthy of a technique to combat darkness," Chen Wu muttered, recalling the old man's words. But who was he, really? And what did he mean by ‘a more challenging test’?The next day, Chen Wu tried to return to his routine. He focused on basic techniques to calm his mind. However, something felt different. Every movement he performed now carried a depth he had never perceived before. It was as if the old man had opened a door to a new understanding."Focus on balance," he reminded himself, recalling the old man’s lesson. He tried to harmonize his attacks and defenses into one seamless flow. Each punch and kick he practiced felt more precise and powerful.But before he could immerse himself completely in his training, a voice broke his conce
