The blood of Qu Si Yang fell like a crystalline droplet, gently landing on the hard ground.
However, this drop did not seep into the cracks of the stone as usual; instead, it floated in a bizarre manner, as if defying the laws of gravity.
The droplet slowly spun in the air, gradually transforming into countless fine beads of blood, as if drawn by an invisible force, swirling around Qu Si Yang.
At the same time, Qu Si Yang's shadow suddenly began to tremble violently, as if some terrifying presence was awakening from the darkness.
The originally blurred shadow gradually became clear, revealing the phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god.
Each head of the demon was grotesque and twisted, silently roaring. Though there was no sound, the very essence of that roar made souls tremble.
The air in Qian Ji Dian seemed to freeze at that moment, as if time itself had come to a halt.
Xuan Yin's eyes widened in fear; he could hardly believe what he was witnessing. He involuntarily took several steps back, murmuring, "Impossible! How could 'Darkness' awaken early?!"
Xuan Yang had no time to ponder what was happening; his only thought was to protect Qu Si Yang from harm.
He dashed forward and caught the swaying Qu Si Yang, anxiously asking, "Si Yang! Are you okay?"
Qu Si Yang's body was exceptionally weak; her pupils had completely turned pitch black, devoid of any white, resembling two bottomless black holes.
Yet her voice was eerily calm, as if everything was within her expectations. "Xuan Yang... go now."
Before she finished speaking, Qu Si Yang suddenly summoned all her strength and forcefully pushed Xuan Yang away.
Her arms spread wide like a bird taking flight. In the next moment, a thunderous roar erupted—"Boom!!!"
The six arms of the demon phantom swung out simultaneously, and the raging Shadow Power surged forth like a colossal tsunami, sweeping everything away with overwhelming force.
The power was so immense that Xuan Yin's Shadow Puppet was instantly torn into countless fragments. Even the Bronze walls of Qian Ji Dian could not withstand the impact of this force, beginning to melt into a thick pool of metallic liquid that slowly dripped down.
Master's expression changed dramatically in an instant. His hands swiftly formed seals, and he let out a furious roar: "Seal!"
With that roar, the ground suddenly trembled violently. Countless golden chains shot up from the earth like venomous snakes, wrapping around Qu Si Yang's body at an astonishing speed.
However, something unexpected happened.
As soon as these golden chains touched Qu Si Yang's skin, they turned black as if encountering some kind of deadly poison, rapidly decaying and transforming into a pile of useless scrap metal in the blink of an eye.
"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Xuan Yin suddenly burst into wild laughter. "It's useless, old man! Now that 'Darkness' has awakened, none of you will survive!"
As he laughed maniacally, he tore open the front of his clothing, revealing the location of his heart.
There, embedded in his chest, was a jet-black crystal exuding a chilling aura of darkness.
At that moment, the demonic shadow surrounding Qu Si Yang seemed to be drawn to this dark energy, resonating intensely with the black crystal!
"Do you think I returned for any other reason?" Xuan Yin sneered, his eyes revealing madness and cruelty. "I came to feed this 'Dark Heart' with the blood of 'Light'!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Si Yang felt a buzzing in his mind as if countless swords had pierced through his skull simultaneously.
Fragmented memories surged forth like a tidal wave. He saw his younger self standing alone in a dilapidated temple.
Beneath his feet lay a massive Yin Yang Fish pattern, with intertwining black and white lines symbolizing the balance and cycle of all things in the world.
Before him stood a familiar yet strange figure—Old Village Chief. No, he could no longer be called Old Village Chief now.
He held a Bronze Dagger in his hand, a fierce expression on his face as he ruthlessly severed the shadow of Xuan Yang.
The detached shadow twisted and struggled in the air, ultimately transforming into an infant girl curled up in the corner of the temple.
"Qu Si Yang is my... shadow?" Xuan Yang trembled all over.
"To be precise, it is a 'Dark Puppet,'" Master said, struggling to maintain the seal. "Years ago, to prevent the shadows from descending, we had no choice but to split the 'Puppet Master' in two..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qu Si Yang suddenly let out a piercing scream!
Her body began to mutate, ancient dark patterns appearing on her skin, her long hair turning into flowing shadows. The most terrifying part was that a fissure slowly opened in her chest—inside, there was no heart, only a swirling black hole!
"It has already... lost control," blood trickled from Master's mouth. "Xuan Yang, only you can..."
But Xuan Yin suddenly lunged at Xuan Yang: "Give me the 'Light!'"
In a moment of crisis, Xuan Yang instinctively activated all his Shadow Clone Technique, four figures simultaneously forming seals—
"Thousand Shadow Binding Formation!"
Countless shadow spikes erupted from the ground, temporarily trapping Xuan Yin. Yet Xuan Yang knew this wouldn't hold for long.
He looked at the transforming Qu Si Yang and suddenly recalled the last page of Puppet Heart:
"Light and shadow give birth to each other, yet can also devour one another."
[Devour or Redemption]
“Si Yang!” Xuan Yang rushed to Qu Si Yang, disregarding the danger, and grabbed her claw-like hand. “Look at me!”
The six arms of the demonic phantom hovered ominously above his head, ready to strike at any moment.
Qu Si Yang's fading consciousness struggled as her chest heaved like a black hole. “Kill… me…”
But Xuan Yang made a shocking move—
He embraced the corrupted Qu Si Yang, allowing her sharp bone spines to pierce into his back.
“No, I want to bring you back…”
Golden light and black mist erupted simultaneously! The wooden patterns on Xuan Yang's chest spread wildly, while the black hole within Qu Si Yang began to spin in reverse. Most astonishingly, their shadows were merging!
“Are you crazy?!” Xuan Yin broke free from her restraints, her eyes wide with disbelief. “The fusion of light and shadow will awaken the true…”
Suddenly, the world plunged into darkness.
A towering phantom of the Bronze Colossus appeared behind them, its left half shining with golden light while its right half was shrouded in swirling black mist. Embedded in its forehead was a fragment of the Spider Emblem.
