The Blood Era was one that witnessed the greatest and gravest battle the universe has ever seen.
It was an era that saw the extinction of the Asura race and marked the end of the Asura Gods' dominance.
It was also the era that made everyone aware of the dangers of a paragon and the measures that must be taken to ensure no paragon ever rises again.
They went to great lengths, to the point that the title "Paragon" was cursed so that anyone who dared claim that title would be struck down by the heavens.
That was how much the heavens feared a paragon.
Of course, everything has a beginning, and the reason why the Blood Era was heralded as such was due to one person.
He was born a prince who, instead of playing his princely roles, chose to embrace the life of a swordsman. His name was quickly lost on the lips of many, and in its place, he earned the title "Blood Sword."
