Ye Mochen, a collateral son of the Ye family, had his meridians crippled after catching a glimpse of his elder brother, the legitimate heir, cultivating the Azure Wolf Sword Art. Yet at the brink of despair, he awakened the forbidden Heaven-Burning Sword Physique. To rescue his kidnapped younger sister, he ventured alone into Ghostcry Cliff, where demonic cultivators ambushed him. By chance, he fused with a fragment of the Nine Heavens Heaven-Burning Sword and embarked on a path to defy fate and change his destiny. After a bloody battle in Qingyang City, he was hunted by the Sword Sect; in the Sword Tomb's secret realm, he devoured the Seven Fiends' murderous sword. Before the Blood River formation, he turned the tide with Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin; within the Samsara Mirror, he endured seven lifetimes of love and tribulation. When he stands atop Mount Buzhou, the Opening Heaven Sword Soul in hand, facing the Heavenly Dao's crushing might wielded by Patriarch Hongjun, will he become the new Sword God, or follow in Pangu's footsteps? Read on to see how the lone wanderer through the cold night uses his Heaven-Burning sword intent to cleave the vault of the nine heavens and forge his own legendary sword path between fate and freedom.
