[Black-bellied nine-tailed fox bottom × Younger, mature Azure Dragon top]
[One-on-one, both pure, equally matched, ensemble cast]
The cold and stern Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable kneels before the Divine Void Mirror when a fox tail suddenly curls around his wrist. In the mirror, the Nine-Tailed Divine Lord, asleep for ten thousand years, opens his golden eyes. Silver-blue light cascades from his hair onto the other man’s armor. “There’s snow from Guixu on your sleeve. Did you come to keep our appointment?”
Yan Zhao rests against Cang Chen and pretends to sleep. “Can the Immortal Venerable make the bed? It was uncomfortable last night.”
Cang Chen lays out the bedding with a cold expression, but as he turns, the nine tails pull him into an embrace. “You’re warmer. It’s like hugging molten rock without getting burned.”
Then, one day, demonic energy runs rampant, and calamity sweeps across the Nine Heavens without warning.
In the face of danger, the gentle Nine-Tailed Divine Lord’s kind appearance conceals power and cunning enough to shake the Six Realms.
“I told you, you’re mine. No one is allowed to touch you.”
Secrets sealed away for ten thousand years begin to surface.
Divine artifacts are scattered across the world, old acquaintances act strangely at every turn, and a sinister plot closes in around them.
They think they’re fighting the demons, but beyond the layers of mist, the true enemy is far more terrifying than they imagined.
“On the day the Sun-Moon Jue is joined, I’ll make all three realms witness this.” Cang Chen takes Yan Zhao’s hand, dragon’s breath brushing his hair. “You are the only god I shall ever worship.”
“Cang Chen, if the twelve divine artifacts must ultimately be sacrificed to Heaven…”
“Then let my dragon soul become the thirteenth divine artifact, protecting you for all eternity.”
“The twelve divine artifacts are my betrothal gifts, and the tribulation of slaying a god is my wedding offering. Let this boundless world bear witness: ‘Yan Zhao is Cang Chen’s tribulation, and Cang Chen is Yan Zhao’s cure. From the beginning of chaos until Guixu burns to ash, there will be no one else.’”
