The Scarlet Moon rose high in the sky, casting a blood-red glow across the land. At the heart of this celestial event, a rift opened, revealing the entrance to the Scarlet Moon Realm. Only those deemed worthy by their sects would be allowed to enter, and the competition was fierce.
Lei Chen, alongside other chosen cultivators, stepped through the rift and into a world of chaos and opportunity. The realm was unlike anything he had imagined—a vast wilderness filled with towering cliffs, ancient ruins, and an overwhelming spiritual pressure that made every breath feel heavy.
"This place…" Lei Chen whispered, feeling the weight of the realm's energy pressing down on him.
But he wasn't alone.
Wu Jian had also been chosen, along with his group of loyal followers. Tensions between them were high, and Lei Chen knew that betrayal was always a possibility.
However, amidst the hostility, Lei Chen found an unexpected ally—a mysterious rogue cultivator named Lan Mei. She had entered the realm with her own agenda, and though Lei Chen was wary of her motives, she provided valuable insights into the realm's dangers.
"There are things in this realm that would tear a normal cultivator apart," Lan Mei warned. "But if you know where to look, there are also treasures that can change the course of your destiny."
