Holy Might Forest.
Heavenly Master's Dojo.
The center of the dojo was eerily empty, with only the eight Ghost Kings standing silently, as if eternal and unchanging.
Tianhe stood before an enormous dharma altar.
An Eight Immortals table was covered with black and white talisman banners, offering human blood, ghost tears, and demon bones. Incense smoke rose skyward as green ghostly spirit incense.
Wisps of incense smoke curled upwards and landed on the ghost pattern talisman atop the altar.
Before the altar stood a tall black jar, sealed with talisman papers, about the height of a man.
Tianhe formed a hand gesture, muttering under his breath.
Countless streams of black smoke surged from all directions, pouring into the black jar.
After a long moment, the black jar cracked open with a loud "crack!" A pungent sandalwood fragrance wafted into the air, as a pitch-black arm thrust outward, tearing apart the jar. Emerging from inside was a man with charcoal-blackened skin.
