Betrayed. Crippled. Thrown away like trash.

Once a rising genius of the Liu Clan, Liu Xuan is betrayed by his own blood and left to die in a cursed ravine. His cultivation shattered, his future stolen.

But death was only the beginning.

Awakened by the Primordial Evolution System, Liu Xuan gains the ability to consume anything—skills, bloodlines, treasures, memories, beasts, even living cultivators.

Every kill makes him stronger.

Every step fuels his rise.

From a cripple to an immortal predator, Liu Xuan begins a ruthless path of revenge, evolution, and domination—across realms, sects, and even entire worlds.

But power comes with a price.

Every 1000 levels, a divine trial drags him into a deadly arena—where other Evolution Candidates from across the multiverse fight to the death. Only one can survive and ascend.

Liu Xuan doesn’t intend to survive.

He intends to rule them all.

Shadowblood Ascension

Liu Xuan stood before the mirror in his dim apartment, shirtless, bandages coiled around his torso, fresh cuts still healing.

— Weapon Mastery: Katanas (Lv.2)

> Passive Evolution: Incomplete (5%)

"Still not enough," Xuan muttered.

The system had given him strength—but strength alone didn't erase the years of humiliation. The mockery. The time his own clan left him to die in that freezing pit.

He walked through the shattered city ruins like a phantom. Cracked buildings loomed around him, infested with mutated beasts and fallen scavengers. Fires flickered in the distance like dying stars.

This was a C-Rank zone, well above his supposed level.

A winged hellbat launched from a broken tunnel, its mouth stretching unnaturally wide, sonic vibrations tearing through the air. Its claws slashed toward Xuan's neck.

He blurred behind it mid-flight, his blade slicing in a precise arc—cutting both wings off.

Slashes glided through flesh like poetry in motion. Blood sprayed across walls. Every movement refined. Fluid. Ruthless.

The moment it activated, the world shifted.

Lines appeared in the air—future movement paths. A sick grin pulled at his lips. Now they couldn't even touch him.

Within the upper levels of the Hunter Guild, a board of elites reviewed a bloodied recording.

"Who the hell is that?" one muttered, pausing the footage of Liu Xuan cutting down four C-Class beasts alone.

"He's not registered in the current E-Rank Hunter logs," another said. "But he's moving like a high B-rank. Look at the kill precision. Tactical. Calculated."

The leader leaned forward, eyes narrowing.

"Find him. Someone who levels this fast… is either a goddamn genius—"

Xuan stood atop the corpse of a Bonecrush Lizard, blades dripping, panting hard.

[Shadowblood Core Advancing: 13% → 21%]

[Class Upgrade Path Unlocked: Choose at Level 15]

The system was accelerating. His power was snowballing.

> [New Notice: Evolution Candidates Detected – Signal Faint]

Warning: First Divine Trial triggers at Level 1000

Survivors of the last Trial: 6/1,000,000

Xuan's blood chilled at the words.

So he wasn't the only one with a system like this.

He looked up into the sky, the rain finally fading, revealing a starless void.

"Let them come," he said coldly. "I'll consume them all."
