Beyond the Darkness
In a world where the strong reign and the weak are forgotten, Xiao Lan was once a prodigy destined for greatness. Feared, respected, and envied, he stood at the peak of his generation—until treachery shattered his destiny. Betrayed by his sworn brother, abandoned by his sect, and crippled at the height of his cultivation, he was cast into the Abyss of Eternal Night—a place where no soul has ever returned.

Yet… death was not his fate.

In the deepest darkness, he awakened. A forbidden power, older than time itself, surged through his veins. A power that defied the heavens, that mocked the gods, and that would reshape the fate of countless worlds.

Now, Xiao Lan returns—not as the fallen genius, but as the Forsaken One.

Armed with a demonic sword that devours souls, wielding techniques lost to history, and accompanied by powerful yet mysterious women drawn to his rising legend, he will carve his path through blood and fire.

Ancient sects, immortal emperors, and godlike beings will bow before him. The ones who betrayed him will tremble at his name. The heavens themselves will break beneath his wrath.

For in a world where might is law, he will stand above all.

The legend of the Forsaken One begins now.

Byound the Darkness

Crimson energy coiled around Xiao Lan like a living entity, seeping into his veins, reforging his broken body. The sword in his grasp pulsed violently, as if rejoicing at finding a worthy master.

The pain was indescribable—as if he were being torn apart and reborn at the same time.

Betrayal, humiliation, despair—those were far worse.

He clenched his fists. Power surged within him, an energy unlike anything he had ever cultivated before. His shattered dantian had been replaced with something… deeper. Stronger.

Not merely spiritual energy. Something older. Something forbidden.

"Heh… so the heavens truly have abandoned me." He smirked, a cold gleam flashing in his black eyes.

If the heavens would not grant him justice… then he would take it himself.

The abyss rumbled. The sword in his grip released a sinister hum. Then, the shadows moved.

From the cracks of the abyss, figures emerged—twisted creatures, remnants of souls long forgotten, beings that had been devoured by the darkness itself.

Xiao Lan stood still. Then, he moved.

A crescent arc of crimson light tore through the abyss. The wraiths let out ear-piercing screams as they were obliterated. Not just their bodies—but their very existence was erased.

Xiao Lan gazed at his sword, his expression unreadable.

This power was beyond anything he had imagined. A force that could devour souls. A power beyond the heavens.

A cruel smile spread across his lips.

"Ren Tianhao… Celestial Abyss Sect… enjoy your peace while you can." His voice was filled with quiet malice.
