Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken.

From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.

As for these ninth-grade Martial Saints, were they to go up against him, all of them would be killed by him! No exceptions whatsoever."
"Therefore, at such a period, we'll send some men over for him to kill! And let him have his fill! When he's done with them, there will naturally be a lull period when we don't go in nor does he come out. Once there's a break, this sense of drive would naturally abate."
Ye Se added, "And at that time, we'll need only a few ninth-grade Martial Saints to take him down!"
Yè Mengse was rather dumbfounded. "Is that what you thought? It really wasn't because you, as a hero, appreciated another hero…"
