1Sword2Peaks

Ren Lei is the fourth son of a minor noble family and the son of a concubine to boot. Being born a cripple, the only thing he has is beauty; beauty that caused him much suffering growing up in a house where no-one loved him.

As if that wasn't enough, he was about to be sold off in a political marriage to a woman who had everything he didn't, the Princess of the Ether Cloud City, full of not only beauty but with immense talent in profound cultivation. 

Refusing to submit to his fate, as a final act of rebellion, in a desperate bit to retake what little control he had over his own life, he chooses to consume poison and commit suicide.

However, the fates are not so kind to those that would try to change it. He survives but suffers from a strange condition that causes his soul to separate from his body. As he slowly loses the constrains of a physical body, he is forced to look at himself more closely and recognise who he truly is. Not only must he struggle against the destiny devised for him but also his true nature: a calamity whose howl will wipe the slate of an era clean, ushering in a new dark age.

The Wolf of a Dark Age

Using profound energy to reinforce his body, Yun Lei got up on his shaky legs. Physically, he was completely fine. However, the mental toll he had paid upon burning memories of 136 years into his mind was by no means minuscule. And on top of that, there was the soul energy he had spent to initiate that attack and the shock it had endured as a result. Given these factors, it was amazing that he was still talking, let alone able to stand.

"You don't have a problem with me using profound energy, do you? I don't think I can stand without it." Yun Lei spoke to his teacher in a tired tone.

"You can use it to move around, but you cannot use it to attack."

"Then how do you expect me to win against those bastards standing in the back? This one wasn't even in the Bone Forging Realm proper, and dealing with him almost put me in the grave. If I shoot one more of those soul arrows, I'm gonna pass out."

Shameless Holy Creek B*stards!
