## Synopsis
In the ancient realm of the Nine Provinces, Liu Yun, a despised bastard son of a disgraced physician, discovers a cracked jade pendant containing the fractured spirit of the notorious Demon Sword Emperor—a tyrant who nearly conquered both mortal and immortal realms before his downfall. When the pendant awakens during a village massacre, Liu Yun makes a blood pact with the ancient tyrant, caring nothing for the price demanded: his humanity.
Gifted with forbidden cultivation techniques and driven by an insatiable thirst for power, Liu Yun enters the ruthless world of cultivation where mercy is weakness and only the strong survive. With each conquered enemy and absorbed technique, his reputation grows more fearsome, his methods more brutal. As Liu Yun carves his path to immortality through countless rivals, the true nature of his bloodline emerges—a legacy that threatens the very foundations of the cultivation world.
Neither hero nor savior, Liu Yun seeks only domination, revenge against those who once looked down upon him, and the absolute pinnacle of power—no matter how many corpses he must step over to reach it.
