Xian Wu was no ordinary cultivator. Once a prodigy within the noble Jade Moon Sect, he had been betrayed by those he trusted most, left for dead in the darkest recesses of the Desolation Abyss. It was there, on the brink of death, that he discovered the Blood Devil's Codex-a forbidden tome that promised unparalleled power at the cost of his soul. Xian Wu accepted the bargain without hesitation, and from that moment, he ceased to be the man he once was. Now, he was a harbinger of death, a cultivator who had abandoned the path of righteousness for one of blood and destruction. His once-bright spirit had been consumed by the dark energies of the Codex, leaving behind a man who cared only for his own ascension, no matter the cost.
