Chapter 1: From Grace to Grass

roken bones.Could it be that every day these days, Yunxian elder sister has been using her spiritual energy to nourish meDuring this time I was unconscious, I lost many times!"Xiao Han, as long as you..."No! Mother, why are you taking my Dragon Soul!"

"Mother You dare call yourself my son You are nothing but a bastard born in the lowly palace. I will tell you plainly... your mother was killed by my men!"

"You little wretch, when this palace took you in, it was only for your Heavenly Dragon War. You were only allowed to join the army to hone your soul's strength. Now that your dragon soul has perished, it's time to transplant it into my son, elevating his Heavenly Phoenix War to the Dragon Phoenix Saint!"

Su Han suddenly jolted awake from his bed, eyes wide with terror, and cold sweat drenched him like a torrential downpour. It seemed he had just experienced a terrifying nightmare.

"No!"

"That wasn't a nightmare!"

"My Tianlong War, my Dragon Soul, they've been taken from me!"

"Your Majesty, for ten years I have served you like my own mother. I never expected that you would harbor such ill intentions and scheme against me for a decade. How laughable! How utterly ridiculous!!"

Su Han trembled, his eyes seemed to be overflowing with tears. A tidal wave of fury and killing intent surged from his heart, then he suddenly laughed wildly as if he had gone mad.

Su Han came from humble beginnings. His mother was nothing more than a servant whom Tianqing Wang favored after a drunken night.

In my memory, my mother's status was low, she ranked at the bottom in the harem, and eventually, depressed and heartbroken, she drowned herself.

After the death of his mother, Su Han received the favor of the Empress and was raised in the palace along with the eldest prince for ten years. The two grew very close over that time, and Su Han treated the Empress like his own biological mother.

Su Han was born with exceptional talent. Not only was he the ninth prince, but he also awakened to the rare Heavenly Dragon Battle skill at an early age.

In recent years.

Su Han joined the Tianqing Army at over ten years old to repay the Empress's kindness, and fought in countless battles across the land, sacrificing himself on the battlefield!

The purpose is to have the Crown Prince gain support from the court and secure his position as heir apparent.

A month ago, he returned to his hometown.

The Empress hosted a banquet in his honor, but Su Han didn't expect the Empress to drug his wine and steal his dragon soul!

The Ancient Desolate Realm has a special quality list, recording the three thousand most powerful kinds of special qualities throughout history. Each one is considered a genius.

The eldest prince originally possessed the Heavenly Phoenix War, ranking only in the thousands. However, after obtaining his own dragon soul, he was promoted to Dragon Phoenix Saint, ranking 108th!

The eldest prince, possessing the Dragon Phoenix Sacred Artifact, became a revered figure amongst people, a peerless genius of his generation!

And Su Han, having been robbed of his dragon soul, could only become a cripple for the rest of his life.

Ten years, a lifetime gone!

"Poisonous woman, I will personally kill you and return this pain and hatred a thousandfold!"

Su Han clenched his fists, his body trembled, his eyes were full of...

A burning hatred and intense killing intent filled his heart, searing itself into his very soul!

Creak!

A graceful figure pushed the door open at this moment.

"Xiaohan, you're awake!"

A voice of surprise sounded, and then Su Han immediately saw a young man who was sixteen or seventeen years old.

Perfectly flawless and pure, as green as a cascading waterfall, with skin as white as jade, her face was like a beautiful painting, her teeth shining like pearls.

At first glance, she resembles a fairy descending to earth. She is strikingly beautiful, and possesses a gentle and graceful aura like flowing water.

But his cheeks, however, were remarkably pale and weak.

"Yunxian sister!"

Su Han looked at Lu Yunxian, his eyes becoming a little softer.

This is the foster child adopted by his mother, yet closer than his biological sister.

Pfft!

Lu Yunxian was just about to speak when her face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staining Su Han's hair red.

"Yun Xian elder sister, what's wrong with you!"

Su Han was greatly astonished and hurriedly supported Lu Yunxian. Only then did he notice a porcelain bowl stained with blood lying beside them, emanating an unusual fragrance.

For a moment, Su Han's heart was ripped apart, tears streaming down his face!

Lü Yuxian possesses a rare Aoki spirit, its power comparable to that of elixirs, with an extremely strong healing ability. It is said that the Empress can even bring people back from death and mend broken bones.

Could it be that every day these days, Yunxian elder sister has been using her spiritual energy to nourish me

During this time I was unconscious, I lost many times!

"Xiao Han, as long as you can wake up, everything will be worth it... I'll be back to normal soon." Lu Yunxian was still as warm as ever, hastily going to the corner and trying her best to smile.

"You wretch, have you forgotten the Empress's command Lose to the Crown Prince once every three days, or your worthless life will be forfeit!"

A loud scolding suddenly rang out, and a stern-faced man walked in.

He is Li Guan, the steward of the palace, entrusted by the eldest prince to guard this place.

"What What did you say"

Su Han heard this, and was instantly struck by lightning. Madness climbed into his eyes, and he felt a surge of anger that soared to the heavens.

He knew Cloud Fairy sister was deceived.

Over these years, he has fought in many battles. If he had just returned victorious and was then poisoned, it would surely cause a huge uproar, even affecting the competition between the princes for the crown prince position. The Empress only wants his dragon soul!

Poor Lu Yuxian only wanted to save his life, but was used instead!

The Empress plotted against him for ten years, and now she's after Cloud Fairy sister's spirit!

Such a venomous heart!

At this time, Li Guan directly grabbed Lu Yunxian's slender and weak wrist, with one palm he directly knocked her to the ground.

He looked at the weak Lu Yunxian, and a sinister fire ignited in his heart: “As long as you serve me well today, let me have my way with you, I'll just pretend nothing happened…”

Li Guan looked at Su Han's face full of anger, but it seemed to make him even more excited.

"Master has long wanted you, anyway you're going to die sooner or later, might as well let Master have some fun first. Just so happens this useless person is awake too, today Master will take advantage of you right in front of this useless person!"

Lu Yunxian had lost too much, was weak. Even though she struggled frantically, it was useless.

"I killed you!"

Su Han's eyes were bloodshot, killing intent surging within him. He struggled to his feet and suddenly pounced on Li Guan.

But he had just woken up, weak to the extreme. How could he, a mere Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer cultivator, be a match for Li Guan, who was at the Foundation Building Realm

"Get lost, you piece of trash!"

Li Guan, the foreman, kicked Su Han with his foot, sending him flying.

Pffft!

Su Han's whole body was like a kite with its string cut, falling to the ground. He couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited violently, then everything went black and he fainted.

It was only as he lay dying that the crimson spray landed on a bronze ring upon his hand.

Suddenly, a streak of blue flew out from the ring and landed on his brow.

The next moment, his consciousness appeared in a gigantic palace.

Above the palace, there were three strikingly vivid characters:

Prison! God! Hall!ntage of you right in front of this useless person!"Lu Yunxian had lost too much, was weak. Even though she struggled frantically, it was useless."I killed you!"Su Han's eyes were bloodshot, killing i...
