"To buy off the work, quality guaranteed, completion guaranteed." A few sentences appeared on a simple stone monument: "If the heavens have lost their way, who will pity our blood-stained clan; Killing our people, extinguishing our path, this grudge shall not be forgotten; Body may die, soul remains unharmed; Wield chaos with a single hand, fighting recklessly in all directions. Bathing in the blood of the celestial path, slaughtering gods and demons, exterminating the demon king. Wandering the nine heavens alone, beheading immortals and Buddhas, challenging all the mighty. Throughout eternity and infinite realms, who dares to compete with my sharpness! To desire another battle in the next life, the heavens shall die and the earth shall perish. Hatred! Hatred! Hatred! Hatred towards the heavens, the earth, and all living beings; Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight against demons, witches, and godly spirits." And so, the young man from Earth, Gao Yi, fortuitously obtained this ancient stone monument and crossed over to the Tianxuan Continent. In this world, Gao Yi, with his unwavering determination and ruthlessness, gradually grew into the pinnacle figure of this immortal and demonic world. Eventually, he also uncovered the true secret of the stone monument.
