In the chaotic, hazy age of antiquity, spirit beasts roamed the Primordial Continent. Powerful primordial energy dwelled within them, and the Four Divine Beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, possessed the greatest power of all. The spirit beasts ruled the Primordial Continent through their mighty energy. As time passed, their physical forms faded away, but the energy within them did not. Instead, after being refined over thousands of years, it formed countless primordial realms scattered throughout the world.
In the present age, strength determines a person's worth. Those who find these primordial realms and slay the spirit beasts' primordial forms hidden within can obtain spirit-beast crystals. By absorbing the powerful energy inside them, martial cultivators can greatly increase their cultivation and become top-tier fighters. For nearly a century, martial artists from sects and schools across the land have fought to the death for these powerful crystals, vying to break into the primordial realms.
All things in heaven and earth are divided between good and evil, and among spirit beasts there are also evil beasts with powerful primordial energy. Those who absorb this sinister energy become leading figures of the evil sects.
Thus begins a tale of the martial world, as the righteous and evil factions battle over the primordial realms...
