Lin Dao, the Emperor of Heaven, in his pursuit of the Supreme Blade Heart technique, dissipated his cultivation to start anew. However, he was betrayed by Wang Xian'er, and his throne usurped. On the brink of death, Lin Dao reached enlightenment of the Supreme Blade, and he hid away his soul to lay dormant for thousands of years. When he reawakened, he reincarnated into the body of an overlooked disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The unwanted disciple was sent to the Divine Blade Sect as a scapegoat sacrifice. Lin Dao took advantage of the opportunity, and established himself in the Divine Blade Sect as his base, meticulously preparing his revenge against Wang Xian'er. Subsequently, Lin Dao annihilated the Heavenly Sword Sect, defeated the Soul Annihilation Hall, and forcefully unified the three major continents. This forced the ones behind the conspiracy, the Azure Cloud Sect, to finally reveal themselves as the force that controlled Wang Xian'er. The final confrontation between two empires is about to began.
