Lin Jie clutched his broken blade, staking everything he had as he carved a bloody path through the brutal arenas of The Era. Yet just as he stood on the verge of claiming the throne of the strongest, fate revealed its cruel fangs. Under the eyes of a billion spectators, Baili Changcheng cheated shamelessly, snatching victory in the final battle. Lin Jie’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets. His blood surged violently in reverse. Overwhelmed by a monstrous wave of hatred, his breath seized, and he collapsed dead on the spot. When his consciousness awakened once more, he had returned five years into the past. With his fragmented memories and unquenchable rage as fuel, he forged a vow colder than steel: This time… he would rise to the absolute pinnacle of power in The Era.
