Lin Ye bears the Nine Abyss Sword Body, a cultivation constitution that leaves him with no path forward. Once a family genius, he became a laughingstock when his sword body prevented him from breaking through. He was stripped of his position as heir at the family tournament, had his engagement broken off by his fiancée, and was abandoned in the Sword Burial Valley to fend for himself. At the end of his rope, the aura of myriad swords falling silent awakened the first Slaughter Sword Abyss within him. After inheriting the Silent Annihilation Sword Art, Lin Ye devoured broken swords to rebuild his body, struck down the emissary who came to end his engagement, and left his family.
From then on, he embarked on an invincible path to prove the Dao through slaughter. He braved the Black Mountain Range and slaughtered the Black Mountain Alliance, making his name feared along the frontier. At the Seven Sects Martial Meet in Tianyun Kingdom, he swept aside the prodigies, defeated his old enemy, and seized a fragment of the ancient famed sword Flowing Light. In the Tianfeng Sword Mound, he domineeringly devoured countless swords, subdued an ancient sword spirit, and awakened the Devouring Sword Abyss. In the royal capital, he ignored the powerful and seized the Ice Chi Sword by force, becoming the strongest in Tianyun Kingdom.
After leaving Tianyun Kingdom, Lin Ye defeated one prodigy after another across the Southern Wilderness. The name “Nine Abyss Sword Demon” resounded far and wide. He found an ancient sword stele and devoured its origin, awakening the Destruction and Immortality Sword Abysses and forging an invincible sword heart. When calamity struck from the Southern Wilderness demons, he guarded all living beings with a single sword and fought the final battle at Heaven-Breaking Cliff, becoming a Sword God of World Destruction and killing the demon commander.
As the demonic turmoil exposed the schemes of the forces in the Nine Heavens, Lin Ye learned that the Nine Abyss Sword Body was an inheritance from the ancient Swordbearers. He therefore fought his way into the Nine Heavens, tested his sword against the gods, and awakened every Sword Abyss. In the end, he turned himself into a sword and severed the shackles of Heaven’s Dao, transcending the Myriad Worlds and earning the title of Nine Abyss Sword Venerable. After leaving behind his inheritance, he departed with his beloved confidante, standing alone above the ages.
