Starforge Anvil

(Forging a sword to rise against the odds + ancient-pattern sword embryo + Heavenly Craftsman's Legacy + epic power struggles)

Zhao Shuang is a blacksmith from a collateral branch of the Zhao family. He has endured countless sneers, but believes only in tempering a sword's heart through a thousand hammer strikes. One day, he awakens a mysterious sword embryo and draws forth the razor-sharp ancient patterns of the primordial age. He shatters a prodigy’s Azure Edge Sword and shocks the world by taking first place in the minor tournament!

He joins the Sword-forging Hall and becomes Mo Yang's disciple, unaware of the deeper meaning hidden in his master's eyes. After five months of hellish training, he creates three killing moves of his own: Falling Star, Sea-Sunder, and Return to the Ruins. His twin ancient patterns, Razor Edge and Prison Suppression, awaken! The Sunken Star sword embryo evolves, drawing on the power of the stars!

At the Eight Clans Tournament, ten thousand swords ring out. A rock-solid defense? One sword breaks it! Flames that burn the heavens? Frozen by a force field! An invisible assassin? His ancient patterns shatter the soul! The dark horse's name resounds across the eight corners of the world!

But then, during the climactic showdown, an unexpected change occurs! The pendant against his chest scorches his soul, and the Prison Suppression pattern on his sword hilt opens its eyes! A pillar of will tears through the heavens, summoning an ancient projection: the Ten-Thousand-Blade Abyss, the Heavenly Craftsman's Legacy!

In an instant, the Eight Clans go mad, the elders lose their composure, and undercurrents become a monstrous tide! The bond between master and disciple faces a trial, the family conspiracy comes to light, and powerful figures from every faction watch with greedy eyes!

"I'll walk my own path!" Bloodied, Zhao Shuang leans on his sword and gazes up at the fading image of the legacy. From scrap metal known as the Sunken Star to a divine blade that incinerates the world, from a discarded son of the family to the eye of the storm, his sword is destined to carve a blood-soaked path to the heavens across this Red Carpet Continent!

An ancient legacy emerges, and the master of a divine sword awakens! See how Zhao Shuang wields the Blade of World Incineration, destroys conspiracies spanning the ages, and forges a sword path that belongs to him alone: an undying way of the sword.
