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.
"Especially when I found out that you've already become a Sword Emperor…" Tu Qianhao miserably laughed, "Ha-ha… I lost my heart at that instant. Afterwards, I had said that I'd go and kill Gu Duxing. And, Black Devil had commented on this — he's a Sword Emperor. What grade King are you?"
Tu Qianhao mimicked Black Devil's tone as he said these words. In fact, he had vividly imitated that ridiculing tone to perfection. This showed how greatly those words had stimulated him at that time.
"I had realized that I couldn't overtake or kill you at that time itself. However, I could always die at yours hands, right?" Tu Qianhao snorted, "I – Tu Qianhao – will die. However, I'd still be a thousand times better man than those bastards who only speak behind others' back and never dare to face the enemy!
"And, I'd be ten-thousand times prouder than them!" Tu Qianhao had roared while saying this.
