Chapter 214

Return to the Black River and the Eve of the Final Battle Carrying the three Divine Artifacts they had risked everything to find, Lin Yu and his companions hurried back toward the Black River. As they sped forward, their hearts grew heavier, as if they could already feel the evil power beneath the Black River violently stirring as the artifacts drew closer. At last, the familiar yet endlessly gloomy sight of the Black River came into view once again. The Black River now resembled a ferocious giant beast on the verge of awakening. Its waters were as pitch-black as an abyss, and the churning waves emitted a sickening, putrid stench. Above the river, heavy leaden clouds pressed down like a massive cauldron lid, suffocatingly close. Twisted bolts of lightning raged and slithered through the clouds, yet they could never pierce that thick layer of darkness, as though suppressed by some even more formidable dark force.
