Dinghai Fusheng Records (Novel) Vol. 6

COUNTDOWN TO WAR

Thanks to their memories of the previous timeline, Chen Xing, Xiang Shu, and their allies know the Battle of Fei River is coming, but they have no way to stop it. The Demon God Chiyou is mustering a horde of undead to wage war against the southern army, seeking to unleash a cataclysmic surge of resentment that will grant him dominion over the mortal world. Worse still, the Acala Blade is in Chiyou’s hands, twisted from the sacred weapon the exorcists need into a blade of darkness.

Without the Acala Blade, their only remaining hope lies in the Heart Lamp. But using its light against Chiyou will put Chen Xing’s life in jeopardy. Can Xiang Shu accept Chen Xing’s choice to put himself in harm’s way? Or will the risk of his beloved’s death prove too much for him to stand…even when the fate of the world is at stake?
