In the 9,730,000th year of the Shenwu Era, the last True God perished, bringing the Age of True Gods to an end!
In the 9,740,000th year of the Shenwu Era, the Blazing Azure Cloud Banner of the Jiang clan, symbol of the Shenwu Empire, was reduced to ashes in the hands of the great powers. The Shenwu Empire, which had dominated the Shenwu Continent for a million years, became history!
From then on, powerful clans rose up everywhere, dividing the realm among themselves. Sects sprang up across the land, and endless conflicts raged for ten thousand years. History would remember this as the Bloody Ten Thousand Years!
Ten years later, amid the chaos, seven prodigies from the great clans rose to prominence and overpowered all their rivals!
A mere hundred years later, the Shenwu Continent was divided into seven parts. The Seven Sects ruled, and the Era of Peaceful Martial Arts began!
In the 1,130,000th year of the Peaceful Martial Arts Era, a Dao Seed fell from the heavens. The Seven Sects fought over it, but in the end, it fell into the hands of the Demon Sect!
Thereafter, the Six Sects laid siege to Great Demon Ridge. Witch Xinglie, the Great Demon Lord, escaped the encirclement with the Dao Seed, then vanished without a trace!
