In Fengqing County of the Tang Dynasty, night shrouds the land, while rot and eerie whispers fill the depths of the dungeon. Qin Yang, a night watchman, runs his fingers over the half-mask of the Underworld at his waist. A cold sheen ripples across its surface.
On the surface, this world is ruled by the Mandate of Heaven and blessed with radiant immortals. But in the shadows, heavenly demons, devils, and the uncanny take root. On the nights Qin Yang wears the Underworld mask, it is time to reap the lives of demons and monsters.
Dao Fruits light up one by one in the darkness. His martial arts evolve from [Minor Seizing Art] to [Great Wilderness: One Hand Holds Up the Sky], while his physique training transforms from [Body-Strengthening Technique] into [Cosmos: Great Sun Manifestation of Heavenly Passage].
All he wanted was to grow stronger in silence inside the dungeon and survive the troubled times. That changed the day an otherworldly evil creature known as the “Prophet” broke free from its prison and turned the entire county into a sacrificial altar of flesh and blood.
Qin Yang drew the long saber that had never once left its sheath.
The moment he stepped out of the dungeon, a blood moon was reflected in his eyes beneath the mask, while a towering manifestation appeared behind him and the winds and clouds of the world changed.
“Since this world has been tainted,” he said, pointing his saber at the sky, “I'll use the Underworld to suppress the prison and restore clarity to the mortal realm.”
