Nine Ruins of the Azure Abyss

In the Cangming Realm, the Nine Ruins Rift tore through the three realms, and the energy of the Ruins corrodes all things. Su Yan bears the Ashen Mark and wields the Ashen Abyss Sword, becoming the current Ashen Guardian. He makes his own body a vessel, sealing a Ruins God within.

His master, Mo Hui, suppresses the Demon Abyss with a bone harp bound in thirty-eight knots. The remnant soul in his sword, an old ghost with a sharp tongue but unwavering loyalty, is another companion. And Ling Cheng, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Abyss Palace whom he has fallen for, is a tribulation he cannot escape through three lifetimes of reincarnation.

Power is a curse, and there is no absolute distinction between good and evil. When the Nine Ruins truly descend, what must Su Yan protect: all living beings, or that tiny glimmer still unextinguished in his own heart?
