The celestial realm quaked as the enigmatic figure merged with the sinister force, their malevolent energies intertwining like dark constellations in the celestial tapestry.
Li Wei and his companions stood firm, their unity and virtue their only shield against the heart of darkness.
The enigmatic figure's malevolence seemed boundless, as though drawing from an ancient well of forbidden knowledge.
Their eyes glowed with an eerie intensity, and their presence sent chills down the spines of all who beheld them.
Li Wei's mind raced, seeking a strategy to confront this new malevolent force.
He understood that the key lay not in overpowering darkness, but in finding balance within the celestial energies.
The artifact pulsed with celestial power, urging Li Wei to seek harmony amidst the malevolence.
He knew that his celestial heritage—his role as the bridge between realms—demanded that he find a way to break the enigmatic figure's malevolent unity.
As the enigmatic figure advanced, the celestial realm seemed to dim around them.
The darkness of the celestial eclipse now emanated from this malevolent force, shrouding the celestial domain in an even deeper shadow.
But even amidst the darkness, Li Wei sensed something—a glimmer of light that seemed to resist the malevolence.
It was as if the celestial realm itself yearned to be free of this darkness.
Meng Xiu stepped forward, her celestial aura radiating with determination.
"You cannot control darkness forever," she said.
"The celestial realm will resist your malevolence."
The enigmatic figure laughed, their voice echoing through the darkness.
"The celestial realm is but a pawn in our cosmic game," they sneered.
"It will bend to our will."
Li Wei's mind raced, and he realized that the enigmatic figure's arrogance was their weakness.
They believed that they could manipulate the celestial realm, but they were blind to the true harmony that lay within it.
With newfound resolve, Li Wei and his companions channeled their celestial energy once more.
They sought to find the harmony amidst the darkness, to resonate with the celestial energies that resisted the malevolence.
The celestial realm responded, celestial energies weaving together like a celestial symphony.
The enigmatic figure's malevolence wavered, as though unprepared for the power of celestial harmony.
But just as hope seemed to return, the sinister force surged, amplifying the enigmatic figure's malevolence.
"The artifact's power will be ours!" the sinister force roared.
"Darkness shall prevail!"
The celestial realm trembled, and Li Wei knew that their moment of reckoning had arrived.
They had to find a way to sever the enigmatic figure's connection to the sinister force and break their malevolent unity.
