Martial Journey of the Crippled Genius

Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Han Dynasty



An endless sea of trees stretched as far as the eye could see, their thick canopy whispering secrets to the fierce river that roared beside them. This was the Dark Demon Forest, located in the southwestern part of the northern region of the Great Power Continent.

This forest was feared by all. It was home to demonic beasts that had reached the formidable Sky Shattering Stage—the pinnacle of strength for many. Some of these beasts even possessed human-level consciousness, making them even more dangerous. Despite this, the forest was rich in natural resources vital for martial cultivation. Its power source was abundant, drawing countless warriors and cultivators who sought to temper themselves in its wilds.

Yet, few returned.

The forest was ownerless—or so it seemed.

Surrounding this deadly wilderness were many powerhouses vying for control, but three dominated the region: the Black Dragon School, the Sky Demon Sect, and the Ghost Auction Hall. The Black Dragon School held the top position, with the Sky Demon Sect not far behind. The Ghost Auction Hall, meanwhile, preferred to stay in the shadows. The Black Dragon School and Sky Demon Sect were bitter enemies, a rivalry that dated back to the founding of both clans.

At the very heart of the Dark Demon Forest lay a vast clearing—so large that the modern city of Singapore could fit within its bounds. A colossal gate marked the entrance, surrounded by a strange aura of fluctuating energies. Bold characters were etched into the gate: Han Dynasty.

Though the forest was called ownerless, the Han Dynasty was its undisputed overlord.

All major powerhouses in the region feared the Han Dynasty—except a few rare exceptions, whose names would be revealed later. The fact that such a power could hold territory at the center of the Dark Demon Forest, surrounded by deadly beasts, spoke volumes about their strength.

The Han Dynasty was no ordinary sect. It served as the headquarters of the Han Clan, one of the eleven great powerhouses in the southwestern part of the northern region of the Great Power Continent. Its patriarch stood at the pinnacle of power across this area, with influence reaching even into other parts of the western northern region.

Though it was surrounded by dangerous creatures, the Han Dynasty's territory was secured by powerful spatial laws, making it impenetrable to ordinary people. Only those with sufficient authority or strength could enter.

Today was March 11, 2016—the day of a solar eclipse, and the day of a major event for the Han Clan. Once every ten years, the Han Dynasty held its martial competition, inviting all powerhouses near the Dark Demon Forest, big or small. Even nine of the other ten great powerhouses from the region had gathered for this grand event.

But today was more than just a competition.

It was the day a great shock would shake the Great Power Continent.

The day a incident is going to happen which will pave for a legent to be born.
