Summary

The four companions continue their journey and experience a significant shift as they approach the Moon Palace, now surrounded by rounded mountains with deep black cavities. The Yue Zhi Yin Zhe warns of corrupted creatures lurking within, prompting them to proceed cautiously. Upon reaching the highest mountain, they sense powerful corrupted beings nearby. The Yue Zhi Yin Zhe offers an option to back out, but Ao Zi and Sai You decide to press on, motivated by their desire for the artifact strings. They prepare to activate the artifact, knowing it will awaken the corrupted creatures. As they activate the artifact, a heavy tremor resonates, stirring the corrupted beasts into a frenzy. The companions brace themselves as three massive mythical corrupted beasts emerge, leading to a desperate battle. Ao Zi and Sai You struggle against the beasts, while Mei Lun uses his skills to trap one of them. Just as despair sets in, the Yue Zhi Yin Zhe unleashes a powerful melody that opens nine portals, allowing them to escape. They enter the portals just as the corrupted beasts are about to attack. As the portals close, the Shadow God approaches, attempting to enter but finding himself thwarted. Over the next few days, several mythic powerhouses attempt to enter the remaining portals, facing fierce challenges from the corrupted beasts. Ultimately, Mao and Ying manage to sneak through the last portal, closing all nine. Mei Lun finds himself in a strange, reflective space beneath a silver moon, which appears tainted purple. He realizes he is ensnared in a mental or spiritual trap, struggling to maintain his identity against the disorienting reflections. He calls upon his companions, Neithers and Little Liu Li, for support.
