The Ancient Emperor Scripture says: “The supreme martial sovereign uses the Heavenly Dao as his chessboard and reincarnation as his wager.”
Luo Junheng, young lord of the Luo Clan in the Tianxing Domain, opened the Sword Gate at ten, shattered the void with his palm at fifteen, and reached the Heavenly Profound Realm before turning twenty. He stood above all others across the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains and won the favor of the Heavenly Dao. In the ruins of an immortal realm, he subdued an ancient remnant soul and forged a marriage alliance with the goddess of the Su Clan. But on the night of the wedding, as red candles burned bright, a death knell rang beyond the Ninth Heaven. Murder lurked in the bridal chamber, and a deadly poison was hidden in the nuptial wine.
Only when his meridians were shattered did he learn that the so-called marriage blessed by fate was a knife wielded by his childhood sweetheart, while the blood of his closest family friends was the blade that pierced his heart.
That night, the ancestral lands of the Luo Clan were drenched in blood, staining the river of stars, and the golden lotuses of the clan’s fortune across a million miles all withered. As his white-haired master sacrificed her soul to open a rift in time and space, he plunged into eternal night and swallowed the bloodstained Imperial Mystic Pearl, engraving the faces of every enemy into his mind amid the chaos.
Twenty years passed. Primordial violet energy surged skyward from the depths of the Nine Hells, while the ancient scroll of the Ancient Emperor Scripture unfurled across the vast heavens in his mind.
“When I return, I’ll make my enemies’ bones and blood my steps, and offer the gods and demons of all the heavens as sacrifices.”
A dragon’s roar echoed through the shattered void. The figure who had once fallen returned, stepping through karmic flames. Stars formed a formation behind him, while the Imperial Pearl in his palm illuminated the nine heavenly palaces.
This time, he would rewrite the Heavenly Dao’s destined plan with his own hands.
