The Lin family.

In the palace, lanterns illuminated the scene, and gold and jade glittered.

On the cold bed lay a girl, about fourteen years old.

This year, his frame was emaciated, and he lay in a coma.

He, who should have been in his prime, was now pale and weak, haggard. His clothes were stained red in many places, indicating serious injuries.

In the year's forehead, there was a heavy aura of death.

Beside the bed, a middle-aged man in a blue robe had a grim expression on his face. He didn't look any better than he did before. The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his right sleeve was empty, clearly severed at the arm.

"The dust has taken the elixir of life." The woman standing beside the middle-aged man wept with sadness, her eyes red and swollen as she looked at the old man lying on the bed. He clutched his corner and coughed violently a few times: "But it can only keep him alive for three years, unless he resumes his martial arts journey and reaches the Martial Emperor realm within those three years, otherwise..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

On the edge, a middle-aged man thought about something, his left hand clenched tightly, and even veins bulged at the corner of his eyes: "What a good sovereign of Qing Nation!"

"In order to elevate his worthless son, he acted ruthlessly. Not only did he steal the divine essence from my son, but he also cursed him with a spirit-devouring serpent! My son was once a prodigious talent, yet now he is reduced to this!"

The hand gripping his left clenched and creaked, Lin Zhantian's voice hoarse with fury: "My wife, I would gladly tear him limb from limb, cut him a thousand times over, even…"

Standing next to the middle-aged man was Lin Chen's mother, Chen Xinyue.

Suddenly, a flute sound rang out outside the main hall.

Chen Xinyue heard the sound, her body trembled, and her face showed unbearable grief. She looked at the old man on the bed again, then at her own husband, her eyes filled with endless sorrow: "My husband, I'm leaving, take good care of Chen'er..."

"Madam..."

The middle-aged man reached out and wanted to embrace his wife.

However, a black shadow flashed, and the next moment, the woman vanished.

When the women left, they did not notice that at that moment, lying on the bed, the right hand of the year-old suddenly went limp.

Those sword eyebrows suddenly rose.

Even the originally muddled mind was now clear.

"Huh?"

"What place is this?"

"Haha! I'm not dead! I, Lin Chen, am not dead! Huang Xingchen, you didn't expect it, did you? Master is still alive! I've come back to life again!"

He, Lin Chen, hails from the Heavenly Realm. He is one of the Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Realm and excels in alchemy and formations. He is known for his protectiveness towards his disciples. Once, when his disciple was bullied by the Dragon Clan, he personally went to the Dragon Clan, wielding a sword, and exterminated ninety-nine eighty-one dragons, earning him the formidable reputation of "World Annihilation Sword Emperor"!

That year, there were celestial phenomena in the heavens. It was said that the legendary Emperor's Divine Vein descended. The top experts from all over the heavens rushed to seize it.

To break through the shackles of cultivation, Lin Chen made his move. For the sake of obliterating the Sword Emperor, he unleashed a bloody rampage, single-handedly battling against everyone present. In the end, he emerged victorious but at a great cost. Just as he was about to seize the Imperial God Vein, his most trusted disciple, Huang Xingchen, suddenly attacked!

That sword strike went straight for his heart, taking his life.

"Master, if one does not act for themselves, heaven and earth will punish them! This imperial divine meridian shall belong to me!"

His cold words still echoed in Lin Chen's mind.

"Huang Xingchen, for all that I have done for you, for teaching you everything I know throughout my life, you repay me by killing your master and destroying your ancestors. When I return, it will be the day you fall from heaven to hell!"

A flash of coldness appeared in Lin Chen's eyes, his hands clenched tightly at that moment. However, the next moment, a violent pain struck him.

"Chen'er, you're awake! That's great!" A middle-aged man missing an arm exclaimed excitedly towards Lin Chen.

What the heck?

Lin Chen's eyes were filled with confusion. Just then, a searing pain suddenly erupted in his mind. With it, a strange memory surged forth like water!

"Martial Spirit Continent!"

In my memory, his name was still Lin Chen, but his life had undergone earth-shattering changes.

He is the legitimate son of the Lin family of Qingguo.

The Lin family is a renowned clan in the Qing nation, with great prestige and close ties to the royal family.

Originally, I had awakened my martial vein not long ago. There were celestial phenomena, purple energy billowing, and dragon qi swirling around me. It was a promising future, but the lord of Qingguo set his sights on me.

Because, on that same day, the prince also awakened his martial vein, but it was a useless martial vein!

Because both of them were over fourteen years old, they both awakened on the same day and remained in the palace.

This is arranged by the king of Qingguo!

He thought his son would surely awaken to a high-quality martial lineage, but the result was unexpected - he awakened to a useless lineage.

Upon seeing Lin Chen awaken his Spiritual Root, he immediately attacked, spewing energy and then ripping out Lin Chen's Spiritual Root!

As for what happened next, Lin Chen fell into a coma and naturally had no idea.

In the Martial Spirit Continent, martial arts prevail. Everyone practices martial arts, and only those with a Martial Vein can advance in martial arts.

And the meridians are divided into ten ranks!

The Spirit Vein is the legendary Ten-Rank!

Not to mention the Qing Nation, throughout the entire Wuling Continent, those who can awaken a tenth-rank martial vein are rare prodigies.

After looking through the memories in his mind, Lin Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.

"If I'm reborn into you, then from today onwards, your parents will be my biological parents, and your affairs will become my affairs!"

A surge of anger was burning fiercely.

"This account, this Emperor will settle one by one!"

"Chen'er, are you alright?" Seeing Lin Chen's face was very pale, Lin Zhantian asked with concern.

"Father, your arm!" Lin Chen quickly took his new portion, and moreover, his soul had already fused with the original Lin Chen's soul. It could be said that now he was the direct son of the Qingguo Lin family, Lin Zhantian's own son!

Looking at his father's severed arm, Lin Chen's face changed. In his memory, his father had both arms and had never lost one.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a snake-like vein erupted on his arm, writhing and pulsating. The air it emitted suddenly sent a wave of excruciating pain through him.

At this moment, Lin Chen's entire five senses were distorted.

This tiny thing made him feel like he was worse off than dead.

He knows someone has drugged him!

"Father, what exactly happened? Where's Mother?" Lin Chen gritted his teeth and asked.

Lin Zhan Tian held his left hand, a creaking sound echoing through the air. He took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice: "This is a soul-devouring snake! It was sent by the king of Qing Guo. He falsely accused you of crimes and stole your spirit meridian. I intervened, but as a result, he cut off my right arm. After your spirit meridian was stolen, he planted this soul-devouring snake. Every certain period, it would devour your meridian, and soon you would die. Your mother went searching for clan members to save you, kneeling for ten days and ten nights before obtaining a life-extending pill. But the price she paid was to return to the clan and be imprisoned in the water prison. Do you know that your mother and your clan have always been at odds?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was struck dumb with shock!
