The land—Martial Domain.
The black storm howled furiously, tearing the sky open with huge wounds, a terrifying sight with gaps in the void that seemed to devour everything in its path like a relentless primal beast.
This was one of the seven forbidden areas of the Tianwu Continent, located in the death canyon of the Martial Domain.
In the death canyon, terrifying void storms raged year-round, never ceasing, claiming the lives of countless powerful beings over tens of thousands of years. It acted like a meat grinder, slaughtering all lives that entered.
Here, human footprints were rare; even the most confident powerhouses would hesitate to step into this place. The vast void storm could easily tear apart a nineth level martial god.
“Why? Shangguan Xi'er, Feng Shaoyu, why have you betrayed me?”
Qin Chen stood on the cliff before the death canyon, bloodied and filled with rage, looking at the man and woman before him. His eyes were filled with endless resentment and anger, his heart aching like being cut by a knife.
Qin Chen.
A legendary figure of the Tianwu Continent, a ninth-tier emperor-level alchemist, an eighth-tier royal bloodline master, and an eighth-tier martial emperor.
He had been an orphan since childhood, with a wasted bloodline, unable to cultivate.
Yet he broke through this shackle, starting as a bloodline master, defying fate, and using the power of his wasted bloodline to reach the peak, forging an unprecedented path, becoming the first person in history.
At twenty-six, Qin Chen single-handedly ventured into the Sky Array Mountain, traversing the ninety-nine arrays over forty-nine days, becoming the only formation master to pass in a thousand years.
At twenty-eight, he broke through to become a ninth-tier alchemist master, taking up the honorary elder position in the continent's alchemist association.
At thirty, with his eighth-tier bloodline royal master skills, he challenged the top ten bloodline royal masters in the Bloodline Tower, remaining undefeated and gaining fame throughout the continent.
He became the ultimate legend of the continent!
He had a beautiful companion named Shangguan Xi'er, praised as the most beautiful woman in the continent.
For ten years, sharing life and death, Qin Chen devoted everything to help Shangguan Xi'er rapidly advance her cultivation to become a nineth level martial god, creating a beautiful tale across the continent.
He had a brother named Feng Shaoyu.
For ten years, they shared loyalty and trust, and Qin Chen gave everything to help him build the vast Xuanyuan Empire, earning fame throughout the continent.
But just as he helped his beloved and closest friend reach the peak of the continent, both of them had betrayed him.
That day.
In his dreams, Shangguan Xi'er suddenly struck, stabbing him with an imperial weapon refined by his own hands.
At the same time, Feng Shaoyu, who had long been ambushed nearby, burst into his palace and attacked him forcefully.
The two nineth level martial gods launched a deadly attack on him, an eighth-tier martial emperor, catching Qin Chen off guard. He was severely injured and fled the palace, escaping for three whole days and nights.
But ultimately, he was chased to the death canyon by the two.
At this moment.
Qin Chen was already exhausted, his meridians shattered, on the brink of death, no longer possessing the strength to fight back.
Yet he could not understand why these two people he regarded as his closest ones would join forces to betray him.
“Why?”
The stunningly beautiful Shangguan Xi'er, like a fairy from a painting, laughed softly and nestled into Feng Shaoyu's embrace in response to Qin Chen's unwilling questions, while Feng Shaoyu's hand directly caressed her waist.
Qin Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, shock coursing through him as he spat out a mouthful of blood, hoarsely saying, “You two actually…”
Shangguan Xi'er scoffed mockingly, looking at Qin Chen with a pitiful smile, taunting, “Before I met you, I was already in love with Shaoyu. Being with you was merely for your benefit.”
