Chapter 13: The Celestial Confrontation

Emboldened by his newfound power, the Dark Shadow King soon attracted the attention of the Celestial Virtue Sect, one of the most powerful and orthodox sects in the Upper Realm. Know for its long lineage and mastery over divine laws, the sect could not abide a rogue cultivator - especially one wielding the darkness of forbidden arts - to defy their celestial order.

A grand confrontation was inevitable. The battleground was set on a floating plateau, where swirling nebulae and shards of shattered star-light provided an otherworldly arean. Wei Xian clashed with the sect's elite disciples, whose radiant techniques and disciplined formations seem unstoppable. The fight raged with ferocious intensity-each clash of energies sent shockwaves through the Upper Realm.

Despite his tremendous power, Wei Xian soon find himself overmatched by the sect's combined might. A relentless barrage of celestial attacks pushed him to the brink; his body, though enchanted by the divine energies, began to falter under the overwhelming onslaught. Gravely wounded and on the verge of collapse, it seemed that the Dark Shadow King might finally be vanquished by those who upheld the ancient order.
