Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious silver ring, seemingly tossed from the hands of celestials, descended from the heavens. Upon receiving the celestial gift, Li Jun's life took a surprising turn.

As the layers of deceit peeled away, Li Jun found himself thrust into a web of lies that began to unravel before him. Compelled to untangle the enigmatic circumstances surrounding his father's demise and the orchestrated misfortunes that befell him, Li Jun strode on through the world of cultivation as the heavens trembled at his feet. He had seen a whisper of despair and vowed to never glance upon it again.

The Black Star Monarch

Li Jun's skin tore and his flesh twisted as the vice-like jaws of a dark gray beast grabbed hold of his arm. He punched its long snout with all his strength. The beast let out a whimper. However, it remained clamped onto his arm.

It tried to shake its head to tear off his flesh; however, before it had the chance, Zi Ya dashed forward and kicked it in the stomach. The beast let go and dropped to the floor for a moment. Li Jun finally got a good look at it. It appeared to be a wolf of some kind, but it had horns like a goat's.

The beast shook its head as it jumped back up and tried to dash forward again; this time, Su Hai jumped forward, spear raised as she impaled it through the back of the neck.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Li Jun said as the beast stopped moving. It was dead. He wasn't sure how it had managed to sneak up on him. He had only heard it when it was too late for him to react.
