At the Spirit Root Testing Platform, he was publicly branded a "cripple-veined castoff." The plaque bearing his spirit root was smashed, and the only keepsake left by his mother was crushed to powder beneath the foot of a clan genius.
Everyone thought he would crawl off to the servants' quarters like a dog and struggle to survive.
No one knew that what had been sealed inside him was no crippled meridian, but the Ancient Annihilation Emperor Vein.
From the moment that foot came down, the Lin family's castoff died. The one who rose was a vengeful asura who had crawled back from hell.
Devouring cultivation, killing enemies above his level, being invincible among those of equal rank? That was paid for with his life.
Haunted by inner demons, his soul torn apart, his bloodlust beyond control? Those were the price of becoming stronger.
Lin Xiao: My mother wanted me to live, so I'll live for everyone to see. Starting in this quagmire, I'll kill my way to the ends of the heavens.
