In the thirteenth year of Jinghe under the Great Jing Dynasty, the Su family of the northern frontier was slaughtered overnight. The young Su Chen escaped with his life, carrying the family heirloom known as the Demon Soul Ring. This unremarkable black ring was actually a forbidden object that sealed countless ancient demon souls. By using blood as a catalyst, its wearer could awaken demonic power and master martial arts as mysterious as the work of spirits and gods.
From the snow lingering over the Cold River to the blood-soaked Blackwind Ridge, Su Chen awakened demon souls such as the Black Tiger, Azure Mist, and Shadow Serpent on his path of revenge. He used demonic power to break through every technique and blade and fist to settle old scores. He saved the orphaned survivors of the Flowing Cloud clan and fought the Bloodshadow cultists, but the demon souls' fury also gnawed away at him, step by step.
When the secrets of the Demon Soul Ring sent shock waves through the martial world, the righteous grew wary and the wicked coveted it. With the ring in hand, the young man fought his way through the blood-soaked divide between good and evil, vowing to use the power of demon souls to rewrite the fate of both himself and the entire martial world.
