Ye Zhao, a boy born with the taint of blood, awakens an ancient sword bone, only to become a vessel for a godslayer’s resurrection. His sword bone devours his kin, the Heavenly Dao sets its trap, and the one he loves most becomes a sacrifice. When his mother becomes a sword spirit to seal the Nine Hells and the Phoenix Maiden burns her soul to prolong his life, he wields a shattered jade sword to cut through the cycle of reincarnation. “If fate demands that I slaughter all creation, then I’ll make my bones the blade that cleaves apart the ninefold Heavenly Dao!” He defies fate and burns his soul, staining the path to immortality with blood.
