"It's time for this world to slip into darkness!" Yu Wang declared, as his black aura climbed higher and higher, blotting out the sky.
Luoyin slowly forced himself upright, blood dripping from his chin.
"What... is that..." He wondered, wiping the blood from his lips as he stared at the growing darkness.
His Yuan Jing technique centered on the rising darkness, sending chills down his spine as every instinct warned him.
Move! Stop him! Anything!
Because once that technique was completed...
All three realms might really slip into darkness!

Meanwhile, all along, Weiyan sat meditating within Yinying's golden bell.
She explored her sea of consciousness, searching for any sign of that troubling vision, and somewhere in the depths, she finally found a ghostly orb of golden mist.
The orb suddenly expanded, surrounding her with golden mist, and pulling her into the memory lost to time...
Her eyes widened in anticipation as the mist began to form shapes around her.
But when the scene cleared, she didn't find herself at the cliff as expected...
Instead, she was in a dark place with a reddened moon, and standing before her was a pale young man with two black horns atop his head.
He looked exactly like Luoyin, but with a pale complexion, stark black hair, and all dark clothes.
His irises were a brilliant gold, like Luoyin's, but Weiyan's brows prettily furrowed when she sensed the aura surrounding him...
'He's a demon!' She realized in awe.
As she watched, the Luoyin look-alike gave a familiar mischievous smile as he directed a stream of dark aura into a grand gold and red seal with the Shadow Immortal's mark.
It was one of Sky Realm's border, and the Luoyin look-alike now scribled a stark black air talisman which phased into the immensely powerful Border Seal, and it simply melted!
Then Sky Realm's carefully sealed border vanished to show another familiar place.
'*Yu Abyss...'
(*The Abyss of No Return where Bailong found the Blood Lily)
Bailong had once brought her here during her training in the past, though he had never let her get close...
In this memory, however, there was no Abyss in sight, so this must be a time before the Abyss was formed!
The ancient Luoyin look-alike broke into a joyful grin.
"Heh! It worked just like the book!" He said. "I've read everything worth mentioning back here... Since the high-and-mighty immortals prioritize knowledge, I can find many more books in their precious realm, right?"
He transformed into a tiny black snake and slithered through the now-broken barrier, right into Sky Realm.
Even the dark and imposing bridge leading to the 'Abyss of no Return' was still just a regular scenic bridge in the memories, and the tiny black snake slithered across it and beyond, till he reached a river.
There, he transformed back into his human form, and then skipped over to the river for a drink.
Some distance along the river bank, a beautiful lady appeared.
