The Dragon Warriors have come of age, and now they return to the battlefield bearing the Star Gate's mission and wounds that have yet to heal. Kai Feng, the Water Warrior, keeps his promise alone amid the mists of Liuyue Mountain. Dongfang Mo, the Metal Warrior, and Lan Tianhua, the Wood Warrior, hide their instinct to protect each other at the cost of their lives behind constant bickering. Bai Nuo, the Light Warrior, and Sha Man, a Dark Arts Star Gate warrior, collide on the boundary between good and evil, kindling a dangerous attraction. The Earth Warrior, young Ziyao, clutches his elder brother's keepsake, tempering courage in the face of fear. When the secrets of the Arts Star Gate come to light and the Rakshasa army's iron hooves return, An Wu's shadow tears open old wounds and ignites repressed desire. As Sha Man's poisoned blade strikes toward Bai Nuo, the astral powers of light and darkness spiral out of control and mingle. Dongfang Mo breaks his golden blade for Lan Tianhua. Before the phantom of his dead brother, Ziyao awakens the power of the earth. This war of bonds and redemption will burn forth a chapter more blazing than fire itself, to the battle hymn of the Dragon Warriors.
