Danwu and Kuan, teetering on the edge of unfathomable agony, found themselves confronting a situation even their bodies, resilient against demon lords, struggled to withstand. The excruciating pain pierced not just their physical form but seemed to claw into the very essence of their souls.
Their tormentor, exhibiting signs of madness amidst the pain, laughed hysterically, cursing the deities responsible for these twisted rules. In this moment, Danwu and Kuan appeared more like creatures of another realm than the heroes they once were.
After what felt like an eternity, the terrifying anguish abated, replaced by the clamor of approaching footsteps from below.
Shaking off the disorientation and wiping away the blood from their faces, Danwu spoke, "This attribute carries a heavy aura of death, but alas, we failed to capture it. Stingy dead folks!"
Those were Danwu's final words before he shattered the window behind his office desk and plummeted from the high-rise.
Meanwhile, in the spiritual realm, amidst the vast expanse of the Divine Continent, lies the Han dynasty's Central Plains. To the east lies the distant Penglai Isles, to the west stretches the desert of Rakshasa, to the south extends the poisonous and chaotic realms, and to the north spreads the grasslands of the Northern Frontier. While the Divine Continent encompasses a significant territory, it's not the only realm in existence.
Beyond the realms within the Divine Continent lay countless overlapping and coexisting alternate realms. Though these realms don't directly connect, the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars occasionally align, causing portals to manifest in the Divine Continent, open for a hundred years at a time.
Legend speaks of a time in ancient history when 600 portals invaded the Divine Continent's realms. Thankfully, 30,000 immortals sought refuge in the spiritual realms, using their essence to craft 53 flags to repel the invading spirits beyond the portals. Over the millennia, as the power of these flags waned, they were seized by the spiritual beast, the QilinGod.
Should three portals in the Divine Continent open simultaneously, calamity would befall the land, unleashing the malevolent spirits from the alternate realms, causing devastation and potential annihilation.
To prevent such a catastrophe, a martial arts master from the Mountain and Forest Body Techniques Division, following the last wishes of the late Daoist, issued a call to gather heroes and warriors from across the land. He set up a battleground in the "Windy Soul Gorge," recruiting brave and skilled individuals willing to face death, preparing for an expedition to confront the QilinGod in the spiritual realm.
In the fateful moment, as Danwu and Kuan scoured the spiritual realm for the whereabouts of the QilinGod, details emerged from various locations, hinting at the enigmatic creature's elusive presence.
