I am You Tian: I rose alone to the heavens and became the sole disciple of three Immortal Emperors.
In a mortal body, I endured inhuman torment and barely escaped death, forcibly opening my meridians.
To protect a barrier for a hundred years, I swore a blood-and-soul oath:
Mortal flesh, inscribe the runes... Blood and soul, swear the oath!
Blood shall shield the mountains and rivers... Soul shall guard the streams!
When the barrier’s hundred years are up... it shall open!
My sword points at ghosts and gods... as I challenge the deepest hell.
From that moment on, I could never turn back.
And there would never again be a place for me behind me.
Ahead lay an abyss of solitude, the road I was destined to travel.
I asked:
Does the night bring sunlight to an end, or create the dawn?
No one answered.
So I could only ask myself, then answer:
If I cannot embrace the dawn, I will walk alongside the darkness.
If protecting others calls for compassion, then I will be a Buddha.
If it calls for slaughter, then I will be a demon.
I will bear the sins.
I will forge peace.
My body is in this world, but my heart is not.
I am savoring this solitude.
Only when someone walks toward solitude, grows accustomed to it, and comes to enjoy it does solitude truly reach the depths of the soul.
Perhaps I am a sword thrust from the mortal world into the heart of the immortal realm.
And the sword’s name is You Tian.
The setting of the novel is quite innovative. There is no system, but the protagonist and the three emperors become stronger together. This setting is very good. Especially the protagonist, a mortal, uses the most primitive and cruel way to violently open his pulse. I was attracted by this. It's tear-jerking and funny. Give the author a thumbs up and cheers.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a relevant fantasy novel. The protagonist's IQ is online, and he is decisive in killing. The plot is not draggy, and the counterattack along the way is full of excitement. The explosive battle scenes are very graphic.
