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. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! 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.
Among Chu Yang's brothers, Dong Wushang's injuries had already mostly healed. The dark saber had also been repaired by Chu Yang. Its might was now stronger than what it had been before it broke.
Mo Lei'er's wounds were also more or less healed. Mo Qingwu had already started running about back and forth. Once in a while, she would hold the ring that Bu Liuqing had left behind before he had sunk the heavens and broken through the void, and murmur to herself. It was apparent that even though the young girl had been frequently cheeky and mischievous when Teacher Bu was still around, his departure this time had given her a significant blow.
