The Nine Tribulations Sword Demon Emperor: Twin Fates
In the past, Nightchen, the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor, stood on the verge of Chaos. He self-destructed to seal a world-ending calamity, then was reborn in the mortal realm as a notorious wastrel heir, his remnant soul carrying a shattered “Heart of the Universe.” He seems to spend his days indulging in worldly pleasures, but in secret he rises to prominence with a swordsmanship talent that dazzles the ages, along with unparalleled mastery of alchemy, formations, and crafting. Only the ninefold world-ending tribulation that strikes whenever he breaks through a major realm bears witness to the pride and hardship of his defiant return.
Fate brings him together with Liu Yunhan, the Prime Minister’s daughter. Her “Eyes of Destiny,” which can see through cause and effect, see straight through his wastrel facade to the anguish and loneliness beneath. Through life-and-death trials, they fall deeply in love and willingly face nine lifetimes of tribulations as the Heavenly Dao strikes back. But their true nemesis has long been waiting in the darkness: Mo Yuan, the Demon Realm’s Holy Son, a primordial demon fetus destined to be a pawn in the Heavenly Dao’s plan to destroy the world. In his hands is the “Godslaying Sword,” whose origin opposes that of Nightchen’s own divine sword.
They fight their way from the mortal realm to the Immortal Realm, going from mortal enemies to kindred spirits. When the ultimate conspiracy, the “Abyss of Nothingness,” bares its fangs across the three thousand worlds, these two destined opponents will finally join their swords as one. And the villainess lurking by Nightchen’s side, whose past is shrouded in mystery, will become the most dangerous wild card in the final battle, with her hidden passion and concealed fangs...
This is a peerless sword-song spanning cycles of reincarnation, a defiant struggle to break free of fate’s chains, and a grand epic of primordial chaos about mortal enemies fighting side by side, lovers facing destiny together, and cleaving the firmament to usher in a new era.
