Eclipsed Destiny
The night sky burned.
Flames devoured the once-proud sect of the Azure Moon, its disciples screaming as black shadows swallowed their light. The ground shook with the echo of collapsing towers, and rivers of blood ran where courtyards once stood. At the center of the carnage stood a single man, robed in midnight, his aura vast and suffocating Luo Xuan, the Black Sovereign.
The world feared him. His name silenced armies, his hand shattered kingdoms. With one gesture, he had reduced an entire sect to ash.
And among the ashes stood his son.
Luo Tian, barefoot, blood-soaked, and trembling, stared at the figure in the sky. His small hands clutched the broken body of his mother, the only warmth he had ever known. Her eyes, once gentle as spring rain, were glassy and unseeing.
He wanted to scream. He wanted to ask why. But his throat only released silence.
The Black Sovereign looked down once, expression unreadable. His cold eyes lingered for but a breath on the boy, then turned away. Without a word, Luo Xuan drifted into the sky, vanishing into darkness, leaving his son behind amidst the ruins.
The flames crackled louder than his heartbeat. Smoke choked the air, but Luo Tian’s eyes burned brighter than the fire. He lifted his face to the heavens, his voice hoarse yet sharp, carved with hatred.
“If the world calls you invincible, Father… then I will become the sin the heavens regret creating. Even if I crawl through blood, even if I burn my soul to ash, I will surpass you. And when that day comes… I will kill you with my own hands.”
The heavens gave no answer. The stars shone indifferently, uncaring of oaths or blood. But Luo Tian’s words sank deep, etching themselves into his bones.
That night, a boy was buried with the dead. In his place, something else was born something colder, sharper, and destined to pierce the throne of the strongest man alive.
