On the eve of Shang Tang's campaign against Jie, Jiang Wuya, an abandoned child raised by the Sword Pavilion, awakens the bloodline of Yinglong as the seal on Yu the Great's Nine Cauldrons begins to weaken. When the Netherworld Emperor breaks through the ancient bronze gates, the ancient beings who slept since the time of Yu the Great's flood control, including the Mysterious Lady, Yinglong, and Wuzhiqi, awaken one after another. Led by three female sect masters, the seven great sects of the Central Plains join forces with the descendants of the Jiuli and lay the "Myriad Forms Return to the Void Formation" on the Plains of Mingtiao. When Jiang Wuya drives the Xuanyuan Sword through the Netherworld Emperor's heart, he discovers that the rotting body contains blood beating with the same origin as his own...
