Back in the Origin pathways—
The atmosphere had changed.
Darkness spread slowly across the glowing paths.
Ling Tian stopped.
"He's here…"
Yue Ling's voice trembled:
"The Shadow Sealer…"
😈 THE ENEMY ARRIVES
The void cracked open.
A figure emerged.
Calm.
Confident.
Terrifying.
👉 Shadow Sealer
He looked at Ling Tian—
And smiled.
"You've grown."
Ling Tian's aura surged.
"I'll end you."
The Shadow Sealer laughed softly.
"Not yet."
⚔️ CLASH OF DESTINY
⚡ BOOOOOOM!
They collided.
Reality itself trembled.
Ling Tian attacked—
Balanced, controlled, powerful.
But—
The Shadow Sealer blocked everything effortlessly.
"You're still incomplete."
Ling Tian pushed harder.
"I don't need to be complete to defeat you!"
⚡ A massive strike—
The Shadow Sealer caught it with one hand.
Silence.
Then—
He spoke:
"I already have… two fragments."
Ling Tian froze.
😨 POWER GAP REVEALED
The Shadow Sealer released his aura.
⚡ WHOOOOOOOM!
Overwhelming.
Unmatched.
Even with 50% synchronization—
Ling Tian couldn't move.
Yue Ling whispered:
"Ling Tian… fall back…"
For the first time—
Ling Tian hesitated.
💥 ESCAPE
The Origin Beings intervened.
⚡ Space shifted—
Ling Tian was pulled away.
The Shadow Sealer didn't chase.
He simply watched.
"Run while you can…"
🌑 REALIZATION
Ling Tian clenched his fists.
"I'm still not strong enough…"
Yue Ling replied softly:
"Then we'll get stronger… together."
