The Demonic Heart and Sword Bone

“I have a sword that can sever rivers, shatter cities, and split the heavens; I also have a demonic heart that can slay immortals, butcher Buddhas, and destroy the world.”

In the Central Divine Continent, martial arts and cultivation stand side by side.

The imperial court, sects, clans, and the Demon Abyss vie for power.

Martial practitioners are ranked in nine grades, and those above the first grade are said to have reached the “Limitless Realm”; cultivators have ten realms, and those who surpass the tenth are called “Ascended.”

Between the Limitless Realm and Ascension lies an indescribable gray zone: “The In-Between.”

Those who enter the In-Between are neither immortal nor demon. They have only sixty years left to live, yet can slay immortals!

A thousand years later, a court historian is commissioned to compile The Annals of Wujiu.

Among the surviving fragments, he finds a line in Shen Wujiu's youthful journal:

“All my life, I have sought neither ascension nor immortality.

I only want every sword I swing to be my own.”

The historian throws down his brush and sighs. “Demon or hero?

If even one person in a future age is anything like him, the world will bleed for another thousand years!”
