From peak to dust, from curse to throne
He was once the Emperor Sha Demon Lord who ruled the fairy world and the demon world. He practiced for thousands of years and could determine the life and death of stars with just one thought. But when he reached the top, he was betrayed by his best friend and turned against his beloved. He died and his soul disappeared.
However, there is a thread of heaven left, and the remaining soul of the Demon King remains immortal. Carrying deep hatred and unsolved mysteries, he is reborn as Su Mo, a spurned member of the Su family in Qingyang City.
Rebirth is hell
In this life, his meridians were blocked, his spiritual power was gone, and he was struggling to survive at the bottom of his family. What's even more deadly is that there is an ancient taboo curse branded on his chest - the Life-Eating Curse. This curse is like a gangrene attached to the bones, devouring his vitality day and night, making him always on the edge of death.
The world regarded him as the god of plague and scolded him for having evil deeds; his family abandoned him like a worn-out shoe and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Curse is also power
But Su Mo discovered that while the life-devouring curse was eating away at life, it also transformed the robbed life into a domineering black energy. It is painful, but it can forcefully break through the shackles of the meridians; it is deadly, but it can swallow up other people's spiritual energy and lives for one's own use.
Use the curse as a blade and walk on blood
Suffering from the double-edged curse, Su Mo embarked on an unprecedented path of cultivation. He went from an abandoned son of his family to an enemy of the sect; from a "life-devouring disaster star" that everyone shunned, to a "cursed emperor" who made the entire continent fearful.
"When I reach my peak again, those who betray me, those who betray me, and those who hinder me—all shall be annihilated."
Truth and revenge, more than that
However, as his strength recovered, Su Mo gradually discovered that the betrayal in his previous life was no accident, nor was the coming of the Life-Eating Curse.
