Three thousand years ago, the world entered a new era.
An era known as the Age of Spirit Warriors.
Before that time, humans were weak.
Kingdoms constantly fought wars, and terrifying beasts roamed the wilderness.
Ordinary people had little power to protect themselves.
Everything changed during a mysterious celestial event called The Great Awakening.
On that night, strange energy filled the world.
Mountains glowed with spiritual light, the oceans trembled, and the sky shone with countless stars.
This energy later became known as Spirit Energy.
Some humans discovered they could absorb this energy and strengthen their bodies. These individuals became the first Spirit Warriors.
Over the centuries, cultivation systems were developed.
Spirit Warriors grew stronger by absorbing spirit energy and refining it inside their bodies.
Powerful clans and sects were formed, and the world slowly became dominated by cultivators.
But among all the legends of that era, one name stood above the rest.
A name feared even by the gods.
The Dark Emperor.
The Dark Emperor possessed a forbidden cultivation technique known as the Art of Devour.
This terrifying power allowed him to devour the energy and cultivation of other beings.
With every battle, he grew stronger.
Spirit Kings fell before him.
Spirit Emperors were destroyed.
Even powerful gods from the God Realm were unable to stop him.
Finally, the gods united to destroy him.
The final battle shattered the heavens and caused massive destruction in the divine realms.
In the end, the Dark Emperor was killed.
But before his death, he left behind several hidden inheritances containing his forbidden technique.
For thousands of years, no one found those inheritances.
Until now.
Until a boy named Ye Fan unknowingly became connected to one of them.
