In ancient times, the Demon Lord Shitian and the Demon Emperor Jiuyou fought a bloody battle in the Ruins of Return. As they perished together, they accidentally triggered a forbidden chaos spell, binding their two souls together and sending them tumbling into the cycle of reincarnation. A thousand years later, during a golden age of cultivation, the Lu Clan of Ziyun Continent welcomed twin sons. The elder, Lu Zhaoming, was born with demonic markings covering his body, while his younger brother, Lu Qingyao, had a demon’s eye in his right eye that could ensnare souls. The Lu family regarded the two as ill omens from childhood, unaware that their bloodlines sealed the chaotic origin capable of overturning the Three Realms.
During a secret-realm trial at the age of seventeen, the brothers awakened their past-life memories in the Netherworld Cold Pool. The Demon Lord’s soul took control of Lu Zhaoming and pointed his sword at his younger brother’s throat, while the Demon Emperor’s remnant consciousness allowed Lu Qingyao to glimpse a deeper conspiracy. Their battle long ago had been orchestrated by the fallen immortal Chilian, and the Lu family’s thousand-year ancestral rule to “slay the twins” was in truth a cruel method for raising the chaotic origin.
As the God-Slaying Spear broke free of its seal and the Eastern Emperor Bell tolled mournfully, the twins exposed a shocking deception through their love-hate struggle. The so-called order of Heaven’s Way was merely the incarnation of evil thoughts severed from the first Chaos Entity. And the love-bound tribulation that had entangled them for ten lifetimes was the only key to breaking the closed loop of reincarnation. When Lu Zhaoming made a pact with his demonic bones and Lu Qingyao offered his demon heart’s blood as a sacrifice, the flames of chaos consumed the Sea of Reincarnation Mirrors. A hundred thousand star gates opened. The twins from countless worlds returned together, blades in hand, and at last severed Heaven’s Way with the threads of their love, reforging a flawless primordial beginning.
