Chen Haotian walked slowly out of the battlefield, his steps light yet resolute. The final words of the robed man in black kept echoing in his mind: "The power of darkness is always by your side." That voice was like an invisible blade, slicing through the tranquility of his inner self.

He had asked himself countless times whether he was destined to be the one to break the shackles of fate and reach the pinnacle.

The words of the robed man in black filled him with deep unease—if he truly was that "key," then what he faced was not only formidable enemies, but also a far more profound dark force.
