Chapter 40: Shadow Emperor's Rage
Elyra and Phoenix Sovereign arrived at the Shadow Emperor's fortress, where a sea of dark cultivators awaited.
"You dare challenge me?" Shadow Emperor sneered, his cultivation level soaring to Dark Emperor (Level 40).
Elyra stood firm.
"I'll protect the realm," she declared.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Wait, Elyra!"
It was Arin, Elyra's long-lost friend, now a member of the mysterious cultivation group, "Eclipse."
"Arin, what are you doing here?" Elyra asked, shocked.
"I've been sent to stop you," Arin replied, his eyes cold.
Phoenix Sovereign intervened.
"Arin, don't let Eclipse manipulate you."
Arin's expression faltered.
"No, Phoenix Sovereign. Eclipse will bring order to the realm."
The battle commenced.
Elyra (Divine Transformation, Level 38) vs. Arin (Mystic Realm, Level 35)
Phoenix Sovereign (Phoenix Ascension, Level 40) vs. Shadow Emperor (Dark Emperor, Level 40)
Just as Elyra gained the upper hand, a dark energy blast struck her.
A new villain emerged
Eclipse's leader, Dark Prophet (Dark Emperor, Level 45)".
Elyra's cultivation level plummeted.
"Cultivation level decreased to Divine Transformation (Level 35)"
The tide of battle shifted
