On the eve of the eighteen-year-old Zhao Qingxuan's martial arts exam, his father, Zhao Zhenshan, threw a bloodline transplant agreement in front of him.
As long as Zhao Qingxuan gave up the Suppressing Abyss Martial Vein within him, the Zhao family's adopted son could rise to the top and enter Great Xia's highest-ranked martial academy.
His mother, Lin Ruoxue, begged him through tears: "Jingchuan is in poor health. You're his older brother. What would it hurt to let him have it this once?"
Only then did Zhao Qingxuan understand.
Eighteen years of family affection had been nothing but an elaborate scheme to steal his martial talent.
Faced with his parents' threats, his clan's humiliation, and the adopted son's frame-up, he neither argued nor pleaded. Instead, he signed a severance agreement in front of everyone.
"From this day on, Zhao Qingxuan and the Zhao family are finished with each other."
The moment his blood fell onto the severance agreement, the Slaughter Tribulation System awakened.
Slay ferocious beasts to gain cultivation and vitality!
Slay foreign races to seize their bloodline abilities!
Slay powerful foes to extract martial insights!
While the Zhao family waited for him to bow his head and apologize, Zhao Qingxuan had already carved his way through the forbidden zone, alone with a blade in hand.
Years later, the myriad races laid siege to humanity, and mighty figures from the heavens descended.
Zhao Zhenshan and Lin Ruoxue knelt before humanity's First War God, weeping as they begged him to come home.
Zhao Qingxuan merely wiped the blood from his blade and said indifferently:
"The Zhao family has nothing to do with me anymore."
"As for whether you regret it..."
"I don't care."
