Return From the Underworld

Thirty thousand years ago, he was hailed as the mightiest under the stars, yet he died in bitterness, abandoned by all. Ten thousand years ago, he became the sole Emperor of this fertile land, yet his kingdom was destroyed and he perished under the invasion of foreign tribes. Five thousand years ago, he led humanity to reclaim its dominion over this world, yet he lost control of his cultivation while breaking through to a higher realm, resulting in his death and the dissolution of his Dao. ... After enduring the trials of nine lifetimes and tens of thousands of years, as human civilization began its cycle anew, Xia Sheng finally opened his eyes once more. This time, deep within his soul, eight supreme spiritual springs had suddenly emerged. The Emerald Abyss and Yellow Springs can temper the body; the Hidden Blade and Dark Springs can forge artifacts; the Immaculate Green Spring can nurture vitality... When I return, if a city stands in my way, I will tear it down. If a Saint blocks my path, I will slay that Saint!
