When the blood of his loved ones stained his hands, he returned from hell, no longer seeking redemption.
The Xia family of Qingyan City was wiped out overnight. The young Xia Huang was betrayed by his closest friend and cast into the God-Burying Abyss, where spiritual power was sealed and flight was impossible. On the brink of death, his God-Burning bloodline awakened amid boundless hatred. It fed on slaughter, burning away his enemies' cultivation and devouring their talents, but it also turned on its bearer, condemning him to descend into madness forever.
Standing amid the ashes with a blade in hand, he swore to use his enemies' bones to pave his road to the heavens.
Climbing out of the abyss, he wielded medicine and poison in his left hand, and a blade in his right. By day, he was the gentle, refined last survivor of the Xia family. By night, he was the “Lord of the Blood Prison,” a name that made the Nine Realms tremble. His five sworn brothers each commanded a hall: the Shadow Hall left no trace, the Battle Hall was unrivaled, the Artifact Hall possessed divine skill, the Wealth Hall could move the world, and the Punishment Hall was a realm of asura. Four women stayed by his side through life and death: one was a glimmer of redemption, one a confidante in the dark, one a bright moon in the heavens, and one the first flame who would remain with him forever.
