After going through eighty-one difficult, Sanzang's master and apprentice finally got the true scriptures back. Ten thousand buddhas greet them, and heaven gives them a banquet, and all the people in the world are successful in their deeds-but I don't know that in the Sanskrit-filled scriptures, it is not the law of universal life, but the ancient and wonderful scriptures that are enough to subvert the three realms. Learning from the scriptures was originally a scam. Returning is a cage. Heaven uses "merit" as a lock to erase all the insiders. Wukong was sealed in the depths of the five elements, and Sanzang hid in Chang 'an fireworks, and his once glorious journey became taboo. However, the miraculous sutra reappeared on the night of the bloody moon 16 years later, which led to madness of the gods and buddhas, boiling of demons, and the burning of all beings. The Buddha has fallen and the order has collapsed. When the lights in Chang 'an are extinguished, and the ancient seal of the Dragon Palace is disintegrated layer by layer, the plot of the celestial world finally tears open the veil of hypocrisy-you, as the core fighting force of the squad, will be reunited with the hardcore Sanzang who broke the ring and broke away from the seal, and the cold-blooded killing heart who deviated from the heaven. This time, not to learn from the scriptures, but to return them. Not for becoming a Buddha, but for all beings. 3-D action tour, deeply restore the dark aesthetics of comic peak, and take you through a bloody adventure in the name of "reverse". Shuttle through the dark dreamland, from the gloomy and treacherous Devil Avenue to the resplendent Southern Gate, from the frozen Luzhou in the north of Wan Li to the mysterious underworld. There are hidden dangers under the prosperity of Chang 'an City, secrets buried in the depths of the Dragon Palace, and plots hidden in the Temple of Heaven-uncovering the ultimate truth that "returning from the scriptures means giving up your life to return to the scriptures". Tough and realistic dark painting style, 3D accurately depicts the charm of the role: Sanzang is bold and determined, Wukong is unruly, and his heart is cold and majestic. With the special effects of ink smudge skills and the rendering of epic scenes, the core tone of "gods and buddhas are evil and demons are good" runs through. Innovate the mechanism of "combination and continuous recruitment": skill derivation, evasive connection, hard and straight interruption, and silky Combo burst output. Multi-mechanism of dominating body/flying/floating/breaking anger+role-specific ending skills, combined with fair PVP arena and plot copy, mystery solving and other multi-gameplay. Gathering hundreds of classic characters such as Sanzang, the Monkey King, Shaxin Guanyin, Ao Xue and White Wolf, the camps of good and evil are intertwined, each with its own mission and obsession. Experiencing the bloody plot of master-apprentice affection, allies turning against each other, and fateful confrontation, we can develop a unique story to unlock and hide the plot through shackles-fighting against heaven and guarding the strange classics.
