His spirit veins were ripped out, both hands shattered, and he was dumped in the mountains to die.
He didn't die. He replaced his hands with demonic ones, eyes growing on their backs that could see through life and death when opened. Then he replaced his ears with a pair of demonic ones, reborn after his eardrums were crushed. Then he replaced his legs with a pair of demonic ones, reconnecting them from beneath the earth after his leg bones were destroyed. He replaced his ten fingers one by one with fingers of martial intent, each one capable of killing.
He set out from the poorest mountain village in the Southern Region, heading north, replacing his bones and growing stronger all the way.
"I want to grow stronger. I want everyone who likes to bully the weak to die a horrible death."
One man, one sword, fighting his way through the Immortal Realm to ascend as Immortal Emperor.
