Azure Tide Swordbone: Born as One with a Spirit Pact

From a good-for-nothing in a remote frontier to fighting monsters side by side with Xiaobai and nourishing his sword with fragments of divine souls, he endures one ordeal after another: a spirit pact that nearly drives him to demonic corruption, his beloved sacrificing her soul, and his own mind teetering on the brink of collapse. Through unbearable suffering, he breaks through layer upon layer of shackles. Then, just before the Tribulation Transcendence realm, he faces the ultimate choice: sacrifice Xiaobai's divine soul and become a Sword Sovereign, or merge with Xiaobai and share life and death.
