Qi Xiaoyu stood quietly by a small river, holding a black wooden box in her hands.

The box was long and seemed very ancient, covered with various charms with very intricate patterns. Despite their age, they still appeared quite new, with faint streams of power flowing over them.

A look of hesitation tinted Qi Xiaoyu's face; she was well aware that once she ripped off these charms, her life... would undergo tremendous changes.

There might be no way back.

"I've heard that all Dark Elves have a complex mark on their faces, which makes them not so beautiful," Qi Xiaoyu murmured softly.

The river water babbled quietly as it flowed.

This place was so serene it was intoxicating; Qi Xiaoyu always liked coming here to clear her head when she felt troubled.

"Chu Mo, if I change, will you still like me as you did in the past?" Qi Xiaoyu shook her head with a light laugh, then muttered, "Perhaps, you may have already forgotten me, huh? There are so many outstanding women by your side. You must be very happy with them."

A touch of faint melancholy appeared on Qi Xiaoyu's face.

Then, she reached out and tore off one of the charms from the box!

Boom!

A terrifying aura surged skyward!

This aura, filled with a chilling majesty, was like an ancient mythical beast awakening, opening its dreadful eyes!

At that moment, cries from the elder elves echoed from the distant forest.

A faint smile appeared on Qi Xiaoyu's exquisitely beautiful face: "I know, you wouldn't just watch me die. But how could I let the entire Elf Clan die with me? Since falling is inevitable, then let me fall alone!"

With that, Qi Xiaoyu tore off another charm.

Boom!

An even more powerful aura surged heavenward!

In the forest, all the Elf Clan elders were stunned.

Then, they rushed towards Qi Xiaoyu's location like mad, shouting loudly,

"Princess, don't do it!"

"Princess, don't do this!"

"Don't be foolish!"

Boom!

A third aura surged to the heavens!

At this time, the entire forest, for hundreds of thousands of miles around, was engulfed in this terrifying aura.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The fourth, fifth, and sixth auras consecutively surged upward!

Overhead, the sky roiled, and dark clouds formed out of nowhere, rolling ominously in.

Heaven and Earth were now completely enveloped by a dark aura!

All the elves, trembling in fear, including other creatures of the forest, felt an impulse to kneel and worship at this moment!

The Sacred Artifact of Darkness was awakened!

When the Elf Clan elders saw Qi Xiaoyu, they were completely astounded!

The once peerlessly elegant and exquisitely beautiful Elf princess was gone, replaced by a stunningly seductive woman standing quietly there!

Cascading hair like a waterfall, pitch-black as ink, hung to her waist. Her figure was enchanting, her gaze bewitching. Yet, her face did not bear the most obvious mark of the Dark Elves, but on her upper jaw, there was an extraordinary tattoo of a vivid flower.

The flower was extremely seductive, divided into five petals, each a different color, and filled with various complex inscriptions. A single glance at it could make one feel deeply ensnared.

"It's over!" An elder from the Elf Clan stared at Qi Xiaoyu, tears streaming down his face in an instant.

"The princess... has turned dark!" another Elf Clan elder muttered, "Is it really impossible to escape destiny?"

"Princess... how could you become like this? Oh..." An elder couldn't help but break down crying.

Qi Xiaoyu stood quietly, the wooden box in her hands already open, inside which lay an ancient-looking longsword and a pitch-black bracelet.

Few truly knew that the Sacred Artifact of Darkness was not one piece but two.

A sword and a bracelet.

Qi Xiaoyu slipped the bracelet onto her wrist, and the initially large bracelet shrank upon touching her skin until it perfectly fitted her wrist.

The longsword, grasped in Qi Xiaoyu's hand, unleashed an immensely powerful and pure dark aura that exploded from her body with a boom!

Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but roar skywards!

Her waterfall-like hair instantly stood on end.

At this moment, Qi Xiaoyu's entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation!

Her exquisitely beautiful face, due to pain, twisted slightly.

Her eyes opened wide, but the look in them was filled with allure.

This scene looked highly discordant.

Not just anyone was qualified to wield the Sacred Artifact of Darkness. Otherwise, it would not have been taken away by the great Sage of the Elf side back in the day.

Even if Qi Xiaoyu was qualified to control it, she had to pay a tremendous price!

Not only being turned dark but also enduring the agony of the dark power entering her body!

"Princess!" All the Elf Clan elders, unable to hold back their tears, knelt on the ground and wept uncontrollably.

From now on, Qi Xiaoyu has nothing to do with the Elf Clan!" Qi Xiaoyu's cold voice echoed between Heaven and Earth. Then, with a flash, she vanished from sight.

At that moment, thunder suddenly boomed in the sky, and a torrential rain began to pour down.

The approaching Blood Demon Ancestor, gazing at the distant sky millions of miles away, frowned deeply. Eyes filled with intense confusion, he murmured, "What's happening over there? Why is there such a powerful burst of dark energy? Such pure dark energy... it even makes me shiver a bit."

As he spoke, Blood Demon Ancestor seemed to recall something, his face first showing shock, then he exclaimed, "Could it be that artifact? I never expected... the sacred artifact of the Elf Clan, haha, the Sacred Artifact of Light... no, it should be called the Sacred Artifact of Darkness, to be in the Spirit Realm? In their hands? That's excellent... it's indeed a godsend! This artifact, to me, is almost as significant as that little Elf!"

The confusion on the Blood Demon Ancestor's face disappeared completely, replaced by sheer excitement!

He even couldn't resist humming a little tune, chuckling: "Sister Qi Xiaoyu, your brother Chu Mo is coming to help you!"

Whoosh!

The figure of the Blood Demon Ancestor, like lightning, disappeared into the void.

......

Chu Mo, from another direction, also plunged into the endless forest of the Spirit Realm's North Pole.

He began to use the Fengshui Divine Art to search for traces of Qi Xiaoyu!

Chu Mo naturally saw the dark energy that soared into the sky earlier, and his heart was equally shocked. Not knowing what had happened, he grew even more worried about Qi Xiaoyu's safety.

Unable to deduce Qi Xiaoyu's exact location using the Fengshui Divine Art, Chu Mo could only follow the map given to him by Qian Tongyuan and the others.

The direction on the map was precisely the direction from which the dark energy had come.

Racing along his journey, Chu Mo finally arrived here, but he only saw a crowd of Elf women with sad faces.

"I need to see your princess," Chu Mo spoke to one of the Elf women, "My name is Chu Mo!"
