Sword Emperor of the Seven Realms

Seven Realms Sword Sovereign is an Eastern fantasy novel by Shao Xiaobai, serialized on Zongheng Chinese Network from October 16, 2014, to November 27, 2015, totaling over 2.8 million characters. The story unfolds on the Leilin Continent, where martial prowess reigns supreme: cultivators may defy imperial law, the mighty can shatter mountains and rivers, and the world of martial arts follows the doctrine of "dismissing the hundred schools, honoring only the way of the sword." The protagonist, Fang Yang, is the last heir of an ancient martial arts family on Earth. While practicing the family's core technique, the Immortal-Less Sword Dao, his meridians reverse and energy backlashes, killing him. His soul endures and is reborn in another world, possessing a young man who shares his name. The original owner of this body had his meridians destroyed and was a mocked outcast of his family. Drawing on the medical knowledge of his past life and the abundant medicinal resources of this world, Fang Yang repairs his body and gradually restores his strength, clearing his name and gaining a foothold amid turmoil such as a family tribunal. He later joins a sect and becomes embroiled in conflicts between the nation-protecting sect and major powers. Through trials including the Nine Palaces Sword Formation and the Dragon Abyss Trial, he retrains in the Immortal-Less Sword Dao and ultimately reaches the realm of Sword Sovereign by "slaying a dragon to prove the Dao." Carrying the spirit of "If the way of the sword is even slightly achieved, immortals too can be slain," the novel follows the classic passionate fantasy path of rebirth and counterattack, sect strife, and proving the Dao through the sword.
