As the supreme ruler of the Six Realms, he once swept across the wilderness. Yet, while he was in seclusion cultivating, four mighty experts ambushed him, and his protector poisoned the tea he drank. Severely weakened and outmatched, he was gravely wounded. At this critical moment, his new guard, A Die, fought to shield him with her life. She perished, her soul extinguished. Though badly injured, the Demon Venerable sealed away A Die's primordial spirit so he would have time to bring her back to life. Using the last wisp of his own primordial spirit, he carried hers with him as they were reborn in the mortal realm.
In this life, the supreme Demon Venerable Ya Lou is determined to avenge himself. Though he has been reincarnated, the seal remains, and it can only be broken when he meets the woman destined to be his trial of love. The young Demon Venerable is born into a wealthy family as Fu Yunshen. Nine years later, he saves Jiang Pianpian, and the two exchange tokens of affection. Jiang Pianpian tells him to marry her in ten years. Nineteen years later, after growing stronger and making constant progress, he wins first place in the grand tournament and meets Jiang Pianpian, the woman destined to be his trial of love, once again. He takes her as his wife, and the Demon Venerable's seal is finally broken. The four immortals beyond the Nine Heavens are slain, and the Ghost Realm and God Realm are destroyed. The Demon Venerable's power is unmatched. From then on, he rules over the Four Seas and Eight Wastes.
