When his beloved Jingwei died in a blood sacrifice to evil shamans, Xing Yuan slaughtered everyone at the altar with his bare hands, only to be sentenced to the First Black Prison of the Eternal Ages: Youdu.
Built atop Guixu, with Mount Buzhou for its foundation and five-colored stone for its walls, Youdu imprisoned fallen gods and ferocious demons from time immemorial. Warden Xuanming ruled with absolute power, while the four wardens each controlled a separate prison. The inmates mined divine stones by day and night, and their bones were boiled down into blood-marrow paste.
Xing Yuan wanted no trouble. He only wanted to atone. But the Black Prison would not let him live in peace.
When the jailer abused an old prisoner, Xing Yuan intervened and killed him. When the warden Taotie swallowed him, he tore his way out and killed it. Jiuying's treachery, Xiangliu's bloodlust, Qiongqi's wind and thunder... He wiped out all four wardens, and the truth about the Black Prison was finally exposed: Youdu was not a prison, but a sacrificial altar. His father, Xingtian, had also been a sacrifice. And Xing Yuan was the ultimate sacrifice Xuanming had waited ten thousand years for.
The five battle scars of Xingtian on his chest made him stronger the more they hurt, and made him hurt more the stronger he became.
He never wanted to kill, but the Black Prison forced him to fight. He never wanted to rebel, but the cage forced him to tear it down. He did not kill Xuanming, only sending the Chaos Demon God back into Guixu. He did not seek fame, only walked out of the ruins with a wisp of a remnant soul in his arms.
Guixu has no bottom, and the vast seas are hard to calm. Chaos is not dead, only asleep.
A legend spread through the Great Wilderness: In the North Sea, a headless God of War fills the sea day and night, never ceasing through the ages.
I was a mild-mannered mortal, but when forced to rise, I became the king of strength. If the rules are unjust, I will shatter them. If the prison is unjust, I will tear it down. If the world preys on the kind, I will use my body to hold evil back.
