The Swordwashing River shattered, the Sword God fell, heavenly might pressed down, and mortals became mere straw!
Lu Chengyao was once the heir of the Town-Mountain Prince. Then a sudden upheaval turned loyalty to the throne into a joke, and left his family and country in peril. Only the old soldier Feng Wancheng's words, "There is still a sword in the human world," drove him to take up his sword and tread a blood-soaked path.
He meets the lone wolf Xie Linzhou, who wields a pine branch as a sword and is half god, half demon. One sword severs a river, the next splits a mountain. He asks only this: if the Heavenly Dao is unjust, what right does it have to call itself heaven?
Qing Xuanzi hides treachery behind a mask of benevolence. The Heavenly Gate Inspectorate harvests destiny. A corrupt emperor sacrifices all living beings for eternal life, while the northern barbarians drink blood and trample across the land. This human world has long been a battlefield of slaughter!
Mastering the Art of Withering and Flourishing, wielding the power of the sword pill, gathering the resolve of the humble, and forging an alliance with the martial world, Lu Chengyao shoulders the Sword God's legacy as a young man. Back to back with Xie Linzhou, one commands the power of the human world while the other wields a god-demon sword. Their swords point to the highest heavens as they bathe the Heavenly Gate in blood!
"If heaven would destroy the way of humanity, then I will cut down heaven and make the light shine forever!"
From then on, no immortals, no heaven, no shackles. With my sword, I shall define the boundless land!
