Prologue

The Battle Between gods and demons

In the realm of the immortals, where winds howled like a chorus of the damned and skies raged with fiery tempests, a legendary battle unfolded. Jian Wushi, the God of Swords, stood tall, his majestic presence commanding awe. His sword, forged from heavenly essence, shone with ethereal light that pierced reality's fabric. The sword's name, "Skybreaker," was whispered in reverence, for it could summon various forms to suit Jian Wushi's will.

Before him stood Bai Ye, the Demon Prince with his White Hair, his eyes blazing with fierce determination. His hair, now flecked with threads of silver, cascaded down his back like a river of night. His slender yet powerful frame embodied darkness, a testament to his mixed heritage. Born to a goddess mother and a demon father, Bai Ye's existence was a blasphemy to the heavenly realm.

His mother, the Goddess of Mercy, had been banished for her forbidden love, forced to flee the realm with her demon lover. Bai Ye's birth had been a catalyst for her downfall, and the heavenly realm's rejection had left an indelible scar on his soul.

"You have brought shame to the realms, Bai Ye," Jian Wushi declared, his voice like thunder. "Your darkness will not prevail."

Bai Ye sneered, his lips curling into a contemptuous smile. "I did not kill your precious Qingyun. But I will not back down."

With a swift motion, Jian Wushi drew Skybreaker, its blade shimmering with an otherworldly light. "Heaven's Wrath!" he shouted, unleashing a divine energy that crackled with blue lightning.

Bai Ye responded with a wave of his hand, summoning a dark energy that coalesced into a tangible force. "Shadow Requiem!" he growled, his voice dripping with malevolence.

Their clash shook the realms. Swords clashed, energies exploded, and skies darkened as if night itself had descended. The winds howled in anguish, threatening to sweep both combatants off the mountain's peak.

Jian Wushi's thoughts flashed to his disciple, Qingyun. He remembered the young warrior's laughter, his fierce determination, and his unwavering loyalty. Qingyun's death had been a devastating blow, orchestrated by the demon lord, Xiangli, Bai Ye's father. Jian Wushi's grief and anger had been simmering for eons, awaiting this moment of reckoning.

Bai Ye, too, was driven by his own demons. His past was marked by tragedy and loss, his parents' cruel fate etched into his memory like a scar. His own descent into darkness had been a gradual one, fueled by anger and a thirst for power.

Their battle raged on, neither combatant yielding. The outcome was far from certain. Would Bai Ye's darkness prevail, or would Jian Wushi's righteousness triumph?

As the fight intensified, the realms themselves began to unravel. The skies split open, revealing a glimpse of the abyssal void beyond. The winds howled with a ferocity that threatened to shatter the very fabric of reality.

With a final, mighty blow, Jian Wushi struck Bai Ye's defenses down. "Skybreaker's Fury!" he shouted, unleashing a burst of divine energy that sent Bai Ye stumbling.

The Demon Prince's scream echoed through the realms as he plummeted into the abyss, his body vanishing into the darkness. Jian Wushi stood victorious, his chest heaving with exhaustion.

But little did Jian Wushi know, fate had other plans. Bai Ye's fall was not the end, but merely the beginning of a new chapter in his eternal existence.

As the realms slowly returned to balance, Jian Wushi couldn't shake the feeling that this battle was far from over. The darkness had been pushed back, but it would return, hungrier and more powerful than ever.

And so, Jian Wushi vowed to continue his disciple's legacy, protecting the realms from the shadows that lurked beyond.

The realms of the immortals were a complex tapestry of divine and demonic energies. The heavenly realm, ruled by the Council of Gods, was a bastion of light and order. The demonic realm, ruled by the Demon King, was a domain of darkness and chaos. Between them lay the mortal realm, a fragile balance of yin and yang.

The realms were connected by ancient ley lines, channels of energy that flowed like lifeblood through the cosmos. Those who mastered these ley lines could wield unimaginable power, bending reality to their will.

Bai Ye's mixed heritage had granted him access to both divine and demonic energies, making him a wild card in the realms' delicate balance. Jian Wushi's determination to vanquish evil still stands.
