Swordheart Douluo

“The world reveres the supreme power of the divine realm, yet Ye Lingyun alone wields a Heart Sword, shattering the illusion of divine authority that has endured for millennia.”

…

He was once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan’s brightest genius, personally trained by Sword Douluo. At the clan tournament, his opponent tempered a sword with Soul-Extinguishing Powder. In full view of everyone, his Sword Martial Soul shattered piece by piece. The clan fell silent. His master said nothing. The former darling of the heavens became the laughingstock of the storeroom at the back of the mountain.

Everyone thought he was finished.

Until one stormy night, he swung his sword a hundred thousand times, and his shattered Martial Soul fused with his bones and blood. The sword was broken, but he himself had become a sword.

The night he left the clan, he sent a Soul Douluo elder flying with one strike and left only these words: “From this day on, we owe each other nothing.”

Taking the name Jian Jiu, he wandered the continent with no Martial Soul. He hunted ten-thousand-year soul beasts and formed sword marks on the back of his hand. He joined the Worship Hall and earned the title Swordheart Douluo. There, he met Qian Renxue, who, like him, lived behind a mask.

They drank together beneath the moon. She asked, “How can you still stand?”

He replied, “Because I have nothing but my sword.”

“Then from now on, you have me.”

He blocked the Soul-Breaking Spear during the Heaven Dou Palace coup, overcame his inner demons in the Angel God’s trial, and faced Sea God Tang San in the decisive battle at Jialing Pass. As his four sword marks fought until he was utterly exhausted, a fifth, invisible sword mark took shape within the laws of heaven and earth.

He walked a path no one had ever taken.

He forged his own divine seat, and named it Sword Master.
