On a snowy night, the Great Yin dynasty fell. Crown Prince Ji Ning was thrown into the Dragonbone Well, where his blood awakened a broken sword that had once shattered the cycle of reincarnation.
From then on, the boy emerged carrying his mother’s corpse, waded through blood to claim the throne, and became emperor of the mortal world. But beyond the Gate of Heaven, he discovered that above the nine heavens, “Immortal Shepherds” were feeding humans to the gods.
Taking up his sword against the immortals, he joined forces with the demon emperors of the Ten Lands and the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld, overturning the starry river. Only then did he learn that the so-called “Broken Sword of the Great Dao” had been left behind by his own self in the previous cycle of reincarnation.
To truly break free, he would have to
Slay himself, bury Heaven, destroy reincarnation, and reopen Chaos!
This is a bloody epic of a captive from a fallen dynasty who slays himself and buries all the heavens.
Here you’ll find:
· The ferocity of a single sword cleaving through thirty-three provinces and spilling blood across the starry river;
· An old madman refining “his failed self from the previous cycle” into a guiding lamp;
· Advancement through sacrifice: with every new realm, he must cut away a piece of his “past self.”
When Ji Ning finally faces the “White Emperor,” the ultimate version of himself who has restarted the cycle of reincarnation countless times,
he smiles and draws his sword:
“This time, I’ll kill ‘myself’ first, then bury ‘Heaven’!”, Slay Myself, Bury Heaven
“I drew my sword in the mortal world, declaring war on myself and the entire universe.”
