Soul-Guiding Lantern 2

Xiong Jun returns to the world of the living, but his soul remains bound to an ancient lantern. In an underground city where time flows differently, he meets Lin Xiao, a keeper of secrets whose shadow-manipulating abilities could either save him or condemn him to eternal oblivion. Their alliance becomes crucial in confronting a clan of soul hunters using forbidden techniques to control supernatural forces. This 2026 action fantasy blurs the boundaries between realms with each battle, where the price of freedom is measured not only by sword strength but by willingness to sacrifice part of one's essence. Combat unfolds in aerial temples and subterranean labyrinths where magic intertwines with martial arts, creating a visual spectacle reminiscent of an animated woodblock print.
