The foolish Demon Emperor was a lecher by nature and paid no attention to state affairs. His illegitimate son, the Demon Venerable, not only failed to receive the power befitting a prince, but was branded a harbinger of disaster by his father and hunted down. His mother died, and his carefree childhood was over.
With a young man's fiery spirit and extraordinary cultivation talent, the Demon Venerable embarked on the path of revenge. The soul of an ancient giant serpent gave him a demon's arm; starlight and golden thunder surged through his left and right hands, while his convictions became a blade that cleaved through all before him. Most precious of all, the Demon Venerable believed from the very beginning that he had emerged from darkness bearing the light.
