Ye Tian moved deeper into the Shadowlands, the sky above darker than normal, the air thick with spirit energy and danger.
System:Caution: Wild Spirit Beasts detected. You are being followed.Recommendation: Use terrain advantage.
Ye Tian's eyes narrowed.
"Let them come."
The First Ambush
From the trees, five men jumped out. Rough clothes, scarred faces, and evil smiles.
Bandits.
"Heh, a young cultivator, all alone? Hand over your spirit stones and items, boy!"
Ye Tian didn't answer. He pulled out his blade.
Wrath Infusion – ActivatedSkill: Phantom Dash
He vanished and appeared behind the leader.
"I don't give second chances."
One slash. The leader's head fell.
The rest panicked, but it was too late.
Soulburn Claw – Double Strike!
Their bodies hit the ground one by one.

The Beast's Roar
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the forest.
The trees shook. Birds flew away. The ground trembled.
"That doesn't sound friendly…"
From the mist, a huge Two-Headed Spirit Tiger walked out. Its fur glowed, eyes like fire.
System:Danger Level: Very HighDo not engage unless necessary.
Ye Tian took a deep breath.
"Necessary or not, it's already seen me."
The tiger charged.
Ye Tian ducked, slid under its paw, and slashed at its leg.
Skill: Wrath Spike
The beast screamed. But it was far from dead.
System:New Combat Technique Unlocked – Wrath Chain: Connects combo attacks for more damage.Activate?
"Do it."
Ye Tian jumped up, blade flashing.
Wrath Chain – Combo: Phantom Dash > Soulburn Claw > Spike!
The tiger roared one last time before collapsing, its massive body shaking the ground.

A Hidden Discovery
Behind the beast's den, a rocky wall cracked open after the tiger's death.
Ye Tian stepped inside, holding a glowing orb.
Old carvings lined the walls. At the center: a floating orb surrounded by ancient runes.
System:Warning: Unknown Relic Detected – Resonating with your Dragon Seal Fragments.
As he touched the orb, a bright light filled the chamber.
Suddenly, a third Dragon Seal Fragment appeared in his palm.
System:Dragon Seal: 3/3 Fragments collected.Preparing fusion…
But then—
System Error: Someone else has triggered the fusion!
Somewhere Else…
Far away, in a dark cave, Mo Han, the one who betrayed Ye Tian in the past life, opened his eyes.
"So… he's collecting the fragments too?"
Behind him, a shadowy figure stepped forward.
"Let him. Once he fuses them, the true power will awaken—and then we'll take it."
