Three hundred years ago, the ancestors of Great Yan defied Heaven and slew dragons, stole the dragon veins, usurped the dragon's fortune, seized an empire that had endured for ages, and ascended the throne over the blood of the dragon clan.
Three hundred years later, on the executioner's platform, the hour of his execution approaches.
Xiao Yutian, once the crown prince, was framed and convicted by his own father, then repeatedly plotted against and harmed by his brothers. Branded with infamy, bound by Dragon-Binding Chains that sealed his spiritual meridians, he is trapped on the execution platform, awaiting the Dragon-Slaying Blade that will end his life.
Everyone believes he is a disgraced, worthless prince, a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
No one knows that within his body sleeps a true dragon's divine soul, dormant for countless ages, indestructible and undefeated.
And no one knows that for years he has lived in obscurity, with a five-year-old dragon-blooded child by his side, innocent and pure, carrying the purest true dragon bloodline and bound to him by fate and blood.
A century of schemes in the imperial palace, layer upon layer of plots at court, his empress mother dying unjustly, and countless assassinations and attempts to frame him over the years.
The royal family has always feared one thing above all: not an ordinary crown prince,
but his awakening as a true dragon, the dragon child growing up, and the truth about the dragon-slaying of three hundred years ago being exposed to the world.
At the third quarter past noon, the blade falls.
The dragon pattern on Xiao Yutian's chest suddenly blazes with golden light, and the dragon soul of ages breaks through every seal and shackle!
A five-clawed golden dragon coils through the nine heavens. The earth and mountains shake violently, the Imperial Jade Seal in the Ancestral Temple resonates in worship, and the might of the dragon crushes all imperial power and nobility beneath it.
The true dragon of ages has fully awakened and returned.
In the past, they slaughtered my dragon clan, stole my dragon's fortune, murdered my loved ones, imprisoned me in hiding, and forced me to conceal my identity and live in obscurity with my child.
Today, he defies three hundred years of fate. At last, he emerges, bringing death and destruction in his wake.
