[Classic martial arts × Eastern fantasy × fated cycles of reincarnation]
Three hundred years ago, the First Shark Emperor used his life-soul to seal the Demon God, leaving behind nine fragments of his life-soul scattered throughout the martial world. Xu Fengnian enters the world bearing the Sword of Light and, alongside Jiang Ni, the First Shark Emperor reborn, endures three trials: the blood sacrifice at Ghostcry Gorge, the Return to the Ruins in the Eastern Sea, and the destiny that awaits in the heart of the earth. Together, they awaken nine guardians and reshape the order of the martial world. Told through multiple storylines, the novel weaves together elements of ancient mythology, mechanical arts, poison arts, and merfolk, building an epic world around the concepts of life-soul symbiosis and reincarnation. The birth of the “Twin-Colored Divine Swords” in the final chapter symbolizes the balance of power, while the establishment of a new order of guardians sets the stage for future works in the series.
