South Barbarian Continent.

Rumble...!

Above the nine heavens, a crimson streak of light fell from the void, breaking through the layers of violent wind and smashing towards this country. In the sky, the weather changed, and a terrifying black demon cloud covered the 9 million miles of rivers and mountains.

"Roar..."

"Roar...!"

In the vast ancient forest, countless monstrous beasts with large bodies and fierce faces roared in fear under the demon cloud, while towering exotic beasts, giant birds burning with flames, and ferocious black dragons all showed fear in their eyes, bowing in submission.

In the bustling city, countless palaces and buildings stood erect, housing an endless population, vibrant and bustling.

In the golden palace, a figure soared into the sky and gazed at the demon cloud covering the world, revealing a hint of shock in his eyes.

"The black cloud covers the sun, and the demons roar. Has an extraordinary demon appeared?"

The figure muttered to himself, his eyes filled with suspicion and majesty.

"Guards!"

He issued a soft command.

"Your Majesty!"

Figures rose into the sky and bowed before him.

"Search all the countries of the Nine Provinces to find the source of this demon aura!"

The figure ordered.

"Yes!"

The figures turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

In the Xiang's Mansion in the Shang State, a luxuriously furnished room.

"Ah..."

"Quick, change the water, towel, scissors!"

In the room, a woman's painful groans could be heard as servants came and went, changing hot water and towels in the room.

An middle-aged man in a black dragon robe paced anxiously outside the door.

On the bed in the room, a pale beautiful woman with a large pregnant belly groaned in pain, gritting her teeth.

A small pig pet, the size of a small dog, black and white and extremely cute, crawled in the distance, seemingly worried about its owner.

Suddenly, a streak of light descended from the sky, piercing through the roof tiles of the room at an invisible speed, and disappeared into the pregnant woman's belly.

Then, a faint silhouette of light entered the body of the small pig.

"Roar..."

The small pig let out a cry, and its eyes showed shock, confusion, and anger. It looked at the pregnant woman, its gaze filled with astonishment.

"Wow..."

At this moment, a piercing cry of a baby rang through the room.

"Madam, it's here, it's here!"

The midwife held the child and said excitedly.

However, after she took a good look at the baby in her hands, she was almost scared to the ground.

"Oh my, a monster!"

The midwife trembled in fear, staring at the baby in her hands. She had been delivering babies for over twenty years, even for the queen, but had never seen a baby like this before.

"Where's the child, is it born?"

The middle-aged man waiting outside the door sighed with relief and entered the room, but his smile froze on his face and turned into a frown.

Fifteen years later.

In the town square, on the guillotine.

"Kill this heinous beast, even conspiring against his own brother."

"How despicable, Xiang Chen actually poisoned his own brother, he's truly a heinous beast!"

"He's an animal!"

Many people shouted in anger as they looked at the young man being held in place.

This young man, with a handsome face and wearing tattered clothes covered in bloodstains, had dark gold pupils, and his ears were not human ears but gray and white fuzzy ears similar to that of an animal.

Apart from this young man, there was also an ordinary old man and a young girl kneeling at the scene, the young girl looking extremely fearful.

Bound to the guillotine, a burly man stood by with a beheading knife, waiting for the command, while a group of black-robed guards holding knives stood around the guillotine. A fat man in a black robe looked at the crowd and shouted, "Dear citizens, Xiang Chen has poisoned his own brother, he is terribly guilty, and our Xiang Mansion will not protect this beast, so we are going to publicly execute this beast today."

"Kill him!"

The crowd shouted, their emotions rising.

"Xiang Chen, do you have anything to say?"

The fat man, Xiang Quan, looked at Xiang Chen and sneered.

The young man slowly raised his head, blood still hanging on his lips, and looked at everyone present. Everyone's gaze towards him was filled with disgust, as if they were looking at a beast without any moral sense.

Suddenly, his gaze focused on a figure.

She wore a white dress, was twenty years old, and had a beautiful face with a slightly pointed chin, a rare beauty, and was coldly smiling at him.

"Qin Rong, I treated you as my own sister, why did you want to harm me? Qin Rong!"

The young man roared, staring at the young girl, his eyes filled with anger.

The young girl looked at Xiang Chen, with a face full of anger and self-pity, said, "Dear fellow citizens, you must stand up for me. It's because I saw him poisoning his brother that this beast tried to harm me. We had been siblings for many years, but this beast actually drugged and harmed me, committing such a despicable act. Thankfully, I was saved by our people; otherwise, my innocence and life would have been destroyed by Xiang Chen, who still wants to kill me because I witnessed him killing his own brother."

As the young girl spoke, she began to weep, her aggrieved appearance provoking sympathy in the crowd.

"You're spouting nonsense! It's obviously you who drugged me while I was drunk, I didn't do anything. I didn't harm my brother, you're lying! Qin Rong, my mother treated you so well before, but you became a disgrace to me."

The young man roared in anger.

Qin Rong walked over, lowered her head, looked at Xiang Chen, and said in a low, cold voice, "Xiang Chen, don't blame me. It was Queen Su Fei who instructed me to do so since your mother was implicated because of you. Don't worry, after you die, I will burn some paper money for you. Oh, I forgot to tell you, your beloved sister, Ye Rou, is going to become a concubine to the playboy from the royal family today. Your mother is already in the cold palace, and I'm sure she won't want to live after you're dead. Have a safe journey to the afterlife, she will come to be with you."

After speaking, the girl smiled scornfully, got up and left, leaving behind a furious and howling young man. His sharp canines were exposed, as if he wanted to devour her.

He was Xiang Chen. His parents had given him this name in the hopes that he would be ordinary, with a pure heart untainted by worldly affairs. However, he was different from others since birth, with ears, pupils, and sharp claws on his hands that made him appear like a legendary monster. Despite being a genius, he had been treated as a monster from a young age, and if it weren't for his parents' noble status, he would have been killed long ago.

He was a prodigy, born as a natural genius with unique spiritual veins that was unparalleled amongst a million practitioners since birth, which garnered respect and awe from others. However, over four years ago, when he reached the age to practice martial arts, he found that he couldn't cultivate true energy with any of the martial arts in the royal mansion. His father searched all over the city for different martial arts, but he still couldn't cultivate true energy, which caused the genius to fall and his status to plummet.

Later, his father, the Duke Xiang, got drunk at a palace banquet and even intruded into the emperor's harem, which led to his imprisonment, but with Xiang's family being great merit officers, they weren't implicated. However, the family fell into the hands of the queen mother and his mother, the second queen, was sent to the cold palace. His sister, Ye Rou, was forced to marry a playboy, and now, he was falsely framed and awaiting execution, with his life soon to end. The one who framed him, Qin Rong, was his mother's maid and step-sister who later turned to the queen mother after his mother's fall from grace.

"Execute him!"

At this moment, Xiang Quan, under the orders of the Queen Mother, ordered the execution...
