On the night the blood moon hung in the sky, a thousand-year-old clan in Qingzhou City became a living hell.
Lin Yuan watched helplessly as Netherworld Flame devoured the souls of his loved ones. The dragon-patterned jade pendant at his waist blazed with a swordlight that tore through the heavens
It was the Void Sword Seed, planted by the Sword Saint before his death three hundred years ago!
**“The Heavenly Dao shackles you with your bloodline. Then I shall make a sword my bones and rewrite the laws of the Nine Heavens!”**
A pact with gods and demons lies hidden within the shattered protective formation of his clan.
The star chart at the bottom of the cliff points to an ancient sword tomb, where a weapon capable of slaying gods lies sealed.
And the inscription on that bloodstained Netherworld Halberd matches the image of his mother's face...
**The greatest deception in the Three Realms is beginning to awaken**
The reappearance of the Nine Cauldrons' fragments triggers a cataclysmic upheaval.
The Demon Realm's saintess presses closer at every turn, carrying the Azure Wood Cauldron.
Deep in the abyss opening beneath the forbidden grounds of the Heaven Sword Sect,
a white-robed sword spirit, its heart pierced by chains, whispers softly:
“You are the offering we've awaited for a thousand years.”
**From Void Sword Physique to Lord of the Nine Luminaries**
When Lin Yuan cleaves apart the thunderclouds of divine punishment,
the one descending from the Ninefold Heavenly Palace is none other than the black-robed man who destroyed his clan!
His left hand clamps around the throat of the Heavenly Dao's incarnation.
His right foot crushes the Netherworld Demon Venerable's skull.
Suddenly, he understands his mother's final smile in the jade pendant
That tear which crossed time and space to fall upon his sword
was the gentlest curse the Godslayer left to all creation.
