You are the peerlessly talented, unbelievably skillful, and enviably beautiful Demonic Beast Huānliúxuè (欢流血, Happy Bloodshed/ Happy to Shed Blood), and the victor of the tournament held in the court of the now dead Crow King, Baoli-Wuyawang (暴力-乌鸦王, Violent Crow King), your final opponent into the opulent tournament he held to satiate his own lust for battle and bloodshed. Despite standing many leagues above you, both in cultivation and fighting experience, you ended the cruel rule and worthless life of your host, expertly countering his unrelenting hard style of martial arts and boundless, tireless aggression with patience and cunning strategy and flawless style that saw him brought low by his own ridiculous strength and frightening power. The Crow King's prowess as a warrior honed through centuries of life filled with killing, proved to be no match for your innate genius as a fighter and Daoist sage. His rage was his downfall, as you kept a clear mind and cool head while he rampaged and reveled in his anger, allowing you to redirect his blows and several land precise, crippling strikes of your own. Thus you, the great Huanliuxue, against all odds and common sense, defeated a foe so mighty and deadly, if he had landed a single serious blow against you, your life may have been ended then. But he barely so much as scratched you.

However, even though you've won the tournament and emerged victorious against a terrifyingly strong opponent, overcoming the otherwise insurmountable distance between you and the late Baoli-Wuyawang through peerless cleverness and great skill, your troubles in the underworld had not yet come to an end.

For, while you left Qiang to claim her own prize, you left to retrieve the treasure you were promised by the host you had slain in the arena he himself had prepared, and upon seeing the late devil king's foremost treasures and most valued possessions, including a preserved Sanguine Divine Spirit Peach, A manual penned by one of the greatest of all Scions of the primordial legacy you champion as its sole heir, a massive peal of collected primordial beast essence extracted from numerous beast cores, and a strange black skull so saturated with ghostly Yin Qi it could curse an entire region of the mortal realm, you had decided to take all of these high quality artifacts and materials as your own, knowing it to be foolish to leave even one of them behind to be taken or stolen away by potential rivals amidst the chaos of the Crow King's death.

Unfortunately, while you had already secured the Spirit Peach and sent your newest disciple, the ghost of the horned serpent Yujijiao to retrieve Baoli-Wuyawang's corpse before it could be mutilated and the many valuable parts and materials that could be taken from it ruined, you encountered one of these would be usurpers as you were leaving the treasury.
