Nine Desolate Records

Beneath a blood moon, legendary creatures from the mountains and seas were released from their seals, leading to the imminent downfall of the Nine Desolations. Lu Li, a destitute youth, carries the remnants of the ancient Yan Emperor's blood. He unexpectedly discovers a piece of the "Shan Hai Tu Map" that has the power to seal demons, yet it also draws the greedy attention of many. The Demon Slayers regarded him as a heretic, the Turbid Abyss Sect aimed to claim his bloodline, and his peers at the academy held deadly intentions. The power that is slowly awakening within him is pulling him towards an even more horrifying truth—this disaster was predicted three hundred years prior, and he is the singular variable in that prophecy. Blood was wielded as a talisman to quell all malevolence. I journeyed across the land in search of a flicker of hope. When the final seal broke, Lu Li confronted his greatest decision: Will one sacrifice their bloodline to become a hero, or endure the repercussions and carve out a third path?
