Lin Yetian was born with an exceptional spiritual root, but the sect's grand elder tricked him into entering a forbidden area and forcibly took it from him.
At death's door, he dragged his enemy down into the Ancient Sword Abyss with him, accidentally awakening a broken bronze sword that wouldn't stop talking.
“Kid, want to live? Sacrifice your enemy's blood to me!” the sword spirit urged.
When Lin Yetian used his enemy's blood to activate the broken sword, strange blood patterns appeared on its blade:
“Blood Refining Secret Art activated: With every life you take, the blade grows sharper and your cultivation surges!”
From then on, the cultivation world gained a ruthless fiend who strode through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, leaving no one alive wherever his sword fell.
“Killing makes you stronger? Then what's the point of cultivating immortality...”
Lin Yetian wiped the blood from his sword and sneered:
“Anyone who stands in my way will become fuel for my path!”
