“All things are impermanent, and the five skandhas are full of suffering. A single compassionate thought can save the world and carry on the legacy.”
A world tainted, souls burdened. When peace fails, the enlightened descend into hell to guide others toward liberation.
This world is a house of fire, consuming all who live within. To bring true peace, one must first walk the path of righteous fury.
Inherit Karmic Burden
To join the Midnight's Watch, one must bear a Blood Lot soaked in a living person's blood. Only those who carry such a lot may pass into the Cycle of Rebirth and walk the path of killing.
Without walking through torment, how can one bear the weight of sin? Without sinking into the mire, how can one step onto the Path?
By claiming bounties and defeating other players, take on their karmic burdens and stain your Token with blood.
Only with a karma-laden token can you knock at Midnight's Gate and walk the Asura's path.
Recently, there's chaos in the area near Halo Peak on Sundara Land in Qinghe. Not only have passing travelers gone missing, but even the monks who went to investigate rarely returned. The only novice who managed to come back was in a dazed state, incessantly muttering cryptic phrases like "sins stand condemned" and "wayfarers guide souls." No one knows what horrifying sights he witnessed on the mountain.
The rumors of "wayfarers guide souls" seem deeply entangled with Midnight Blades, the most enigmatic and shadowy sect in the martial world. Speak with the mysterious figure amidst the blood pool to learn more.
Defeat title-holders to seize their status.
In Midnight Judgment, defeat Sufferers to steal their identities/karma and ascend the Asura Path.
On the Path of Slaughter, there is no kinship, no mentorship, no brotherhood, only the blade and the will to rise. The seat of power belongs to strength alone. Any within the sect may challenge the Sufferers. Win, and you inherit their sins and take their place. Fall, and you offer your neck to fate. Die without regret.
Defeat wanderers to gain Karma Points; being defeated deducts Karma Points.
During combat, a Midnight Blades Disciple gains 10 Karma Points for defeating another Wanderer, and loses 10 Karma Points if defeated by one. This rule applies equally to friends and foes, and does not apply in Arena mode.
To join the Midnight Blades is to bear the world's sins in blood; To walk the path of killing is to kill so others need not. Outside, offer deliverance to those in suffering; Within, help your brethren find relief from karmic pain.
Head to Perception Forest to obtain large amounts of Karma Point.
Midnight Blades Disciples can train in the Perception Forest. Empowered by the Wish of Deliverance, they can gain more Karmic Burden Points by surviving longer and killing more enemies. Absorb 5 Karma Points for every 60 seconds survived in the Perception Forest.
The three realms are unsafe, like a house on fire. It's filled with suffering and true terror. Thus, cultivators vow to fall into heresy, eternally sinking into delusion, helping all to extinguish the causes of suffering in the three realms, transcending life and death, and stepping into ultimate bliss.
In the Open World combat, hesitate not, spare no lives.
Disciples of the Midnight Blades are unyielding and resolute. Once their weapon is raised, there is no rest until death. Their hearts remain unmoved, their nature unwavering; no hesitation, no surrender. In battle against other Wanderers or enemy bosses, they would rather die fighting than flee, seeing their bloody work through to the end. If cowardice takes root and they retreat from combat, it is deemed a wavering heart and results in the deduction of 1 Karma Point(s).
The weight of karma is heavy; the weak cannot bear it. If a cultivator's heart wavers, all karma is lost. Only when one severs the cycle of life and death and beholds existence with a calm heart untainted by self, greed, or attachment, can meditative samadhi be attained and the great path realized.
From rank 1 · Novice Cultivator
Disciples are divided into four ranks based on their levels of resolve and karmic burden: Novice Cultivator, Truth Walker, Sufferer, and Chief Elder. The heavier the karmic burden, the darker the token carried.
From rank 1 · Novice Cultivator
The items in the Sect Shop will unlock gradually as you move up the ranks within your sect.
From rank 2 · Truth Walker
Upon reaching the rank of Truth Walker, you will unlock the Midnight Blades' sect rule challenge: Midnight Judgment.
On the Path of Slaughter, there is no kinship, no mentorship, no brotherhood, only the blade and the will to rise. The seat of power belongs to strength alone. Any within the sect may challenge the Sufferers. Win, and you inherit their sins and take their place. Fall, and you offer your neck to fate. Die without regret.
The Buddha spoke of the Eight Sufferings of life: birth, aging, sickness, death, parting from loved ones, hatred with enemies, unfulfilled desire, and the burning of the Five Skandhas Ablaze. The final suffering arises from the convergence of the preceding seven, their intertwining giving rise to this ultimate torment. In Midnight Blades, Sufferers are those who bear the greatest share of Karmic guilt. If defeated in the Midnight Judgment, they will lose their identities and decrees
From rank 2 · Truth Walker
Become shrouded in blood debts to increase your status and gain bonus Reputation.
From rank 5 · Chief Elder
The two ranks burdened with the deepest karma, the Sufferer and Chief Elder, may be challenged by any disciple at any time. To walk the path of the Midnight Blades is to endure ceaseless battles and ever-growing karmic debt.
The Chief Elder bears the greatest karmic burden in the jianghu, ascending through the Sufferers' Trial against other Sufferers. Both Sufferers and Chief Elders share the same fate: to carry the endless weight of karma, or to yield and find release at another's blade.
Unlock the Hand Seal stance. Use the Hand Seal Pose in the Perception Forest to instantly reveal your location, drawing in more enemies. In return, you gain a powerful Karma boost and enhanced strength.
