> Blood rained from the skies.
The Taixu Domain trembled as mountains crumbled and rivers boiled. Atop the floating Black Demon Palace, the Demonic Sovereign stood alone — crimson robes torn, his body pierced by dozens of swords.
His once-loyal disciple stood before him, sword still dripping. "Master, you should've given the scripture to the righteous. The moment you touched that ancient Emperor's inheritance… your fate was sealed."
Mo Tianyin — the sovereign feared across all mortal realms — laughed hoarsely, blood leaking from his lips.
"So the dogs of heaven fear a man who seeks truth…"
Around him hovered the righteous sects' rulers — their faces calm, eyes cold, their hypocrisy cloaked in virtue.
Mo Tianyin crushed a black jade orb in his hand — his Soul Seed.
"This world betrayed me. I will burn it all."
The sky exploded. Mo Tianyin's body disintegrated in a storm of demonic Qi, his soul torn from the world… but not destroyed.
