Yunchi YC's Fourth Book

When the seal in the northern icefields cracks, spraying dark golden demonic flames, and vines in the Bone Palace crush millennia-old permafrost, the remnant power of Austin Griffin, the God of Divine Punishment, breaks free in its most ferocious form. And the Host of this destructive force is none other than Haoyue, the companion who once forged a life-and-death pact with Long Haochen.

The holy light of the Divine Throne trembles, and the Demon Hunt Squad's blades are shrouded in gloom. Should they execute the “reincarnation of Divine Punishment,” or protect their former comrade? Long Haochen grips the throne, only to discover that deep within Haoyue's pupils, Austin's consciousness is slowly opening its eyes.

Bone dragons from the Dark Council tear through the icefields, while necromancers awaken ancient corpses. Within the Temple, the “threat of destruction” sparks factional infighting. Even Sheng Cai'er's power of purification ripples before the demonic flames of Divine Punishment. More dangerously still, the destructive force within Haoyue is spiraling out of control and devouring the world. Every falling star brings the countdown to the Holy Demon Continent closer to its end.

When Sheng Cai'er's wings of light merge with Haoyue's demonic flames, and the ancient spell “coexistence” appears on the Divine Throne, Long Haochen finally understands: Divine Punishment is not simply destruction, but the backlash of a broken balance.

The Demon Hunt Squad raises its battle flags anew, carving a path through the narrow gap between ice and fire. Haoyue tears through space to strike at the mastermind controlling the seal. Even Austin's lingering consciousness becomes the sharpest of blades

This time, they will rewrite not only the fate of the God of Divine Punishment, but also the entire continent's understanding of “destruction” and “protection”:

Only by facing the source of darkness can they truly command the light.
