Demon Lord in a Chaotic Age: From the Start, I Command 100,000 Yin Soldiers

Li Xuanye, an illegitimate son of Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, was born beneath a crimson rainbow in the sky, while baleful energy stained the earth. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau declared him "the Lord of War descended into the world, fated to bring misfortune to his own family." From childhood, he was imprisoned beside the imperial mausoleum and branded an ill omen.

In the chaotic Five Dynasties era, lives were as fragile as grass. Warlords rose everywhere, regional governors carved up the realm, and fathers and sons routinely turned on one another. In the abandoned tomb of a former dynasty where he was imprisoned, Li Xuanye unexpectedly merged with a fragment of the ancient God of War, or perhaps the Demon Lord Chiyou, and gained an unparalleled legacy that let him command baleful military energy and refine the souls of the dead.

After ten years in hiding, he used the tomb as a cauldron and the remains of battlefields and ancient baleful energy as fuel, forging three thousand headless cavalrymen and a hundred thousand ghostly soldiers! The abandoned mausoleum of old had become a forbidden land for the living, a demonic haunt of ghosts!

The Central Plains teetered on the brink of ruin. The Later Jin court was powerless, and the righteous factions of the martial world joined forces to resist the invaders, only to suffer defeat after defeat.

Deep within the abandoned tomb, Li Xuanye slowly opened his eyes. Blood-red light in his gaze pierced the Nine Hells. "Khitans? Just what I need. My path of Yin soldiers is still short a few powerful main souls."

When he stepped out of the tomb, his ghostly cavalry howled and his Yin soldiers swept across the land, driving all living things before them! The whole world would tremble beneath the shadow of this "Lord of War."
