Season
Season 8 Begins!
Season Gameplay — Myriad Souls
Souls flow in myriad forms. Through mysterious arts from distant realms, one can absorb the essence of great demons and comprehend the power of souls. Inlaying Soul Jades reveals even more wonders. To uncover these mysteries, adventurers have embarked on expeditions. However, many monsters have also been nurtured by these souls and now await the arrival of explorers... 
Like previous Seasons, "Myriad Souls" is only available in Nightmare and Reincarnation difficulties. During the adventure, players can obtain various Soul Pendants and Soul Jades, creating different buff effects through strategic combinations. At the same time, players will need to challenge enemies strengthened by demon souls. Detailed gameplay rules can be previewed in the in-game Season interface.
