Nine Desolate Records

Beneath a crimson blood moon, ancient mythical beasts broke free from their seals, pushing the Nine Desolations to the brink of ruin overnight. Lu Li, an impoverished youth bearing the remnants of the ancient Yan Emperor's bloodline, unexpectedly acquires a fragment of the legendary Map of Mountains and Seas—an artifact capable of sealing demons, yet potent enough to attract the greed of the entire world. Hunted by orthodox demon slayers who deem him a heretic, pursued by the Turbid Abyss Sect for his divine blood, and betrayed by murderous peers within his own academy, Lu Li walks a razor's edge. As the dormant power within him awakens, it drags him toward a terrifying truth: this apocalyptic calamity was foretold three hundred years ago, and he is the sole unpredictable variable in the prophecy. With blood used as a talisman to suppress the encroaching darkness, Lu Li traverses a ruined land in search of a glimmer of hope. When the final seal shatters, he must face his ultimate destiny: will he burn his very bloodline to become a savior, or let the world fall to ash?
