Shattered Shadows, Guiding Star

In his past life, the entire Tianji Pavilion was wiped out. Lin Ye is reborn carrying a remnant soul, bearing a dual-soul nexus, wielding the Shattered Shadow short blade and the Star-Guiding signet ring. Every time he uses the power of shadow slaughter, his soul must endure a tearing backlash. On the Trial Wasteland, he gathers Qin Lie, Su Wanqing, and Lu Qinghe to form the Yaozhi Squad. The Thunderclap War Spear breaks formations, the Moonlight Immortal Herb purifies foul poison, and the Thousand-Thread Spirit Silk deduces the whole battlefield. Each of the four hides an obsession and a weakness, yet they entrust their lives to one another. High-ranking members of the Holy Hall secretly collude with the Shadow; the Abyssal Nexus spans a thousand years, ceaselessly peering in; the entire continent is undergoing a cruel corruption-screening experiment. They refuse to become test subjects of fate. With the dual souls as their nexus, the four stand side by side, tearing through the Shadow's thousand-year scheme and overturning the Holy Hall—that cage imprisoning all living beings in shadow! — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Shattered Shadows, Guiding Star — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
