On the Qingming Continent, where the strong rule and immortals and demons vie for supremacy, a peerless sword cultivator who had slumbered for a thousand years at the bottom of the Burial Sword Abyss suddenly opens his eyes: Ling Jiuxiao! Long ago, seeking the ultimate pinnacle of invincible swordsmanship, he sealed himself away in a deadly place. Now his sword soul is complete, and no one can stand against his edge.
Returning to the world, he finds the sects and sacred grounds that once stood beneath his gaze utterly unfamiliar. Yet wherever his invincible sword heart points, all arts are broken. A flash of swordlight can cleave the sun, moon, and stars; a single thought can make the gods and demons of the heavens bow their heads. So-called prodigies, patriarchs, and forbidden beings are nothing but clay chickens and straw dogs before him.
The road to invincibility is long, but beautiful women walk beside him. A cold and aloof holy maiden of a sacred ground is willing to betray her sect for his sake; a mischievous demoness abandons darkness for the light because of him; a peerlessly elegant princess offers him her kingdom as a betrothal gift, asking only that he spare her a glance... And an unparalleled empress, hidden away for ten thousand years, emerges from seclusion solely to test the sword in his hand.
From the undercurrents swirling through the Great Xia Dynasty, to the shocking conspiracy in the Nine Nether Demon Realm, and then to the covetous gaze of evil gods beyond the borders... Ling Jiuxiao wields supreme sword might, gathers beauties of peerless grace, traverses the eight wildernesses and six directions, and slays every enemy in the world! His path of the sword is the most brilliant and invincible legend beneath these heavens!
