The Tribulation of Yao

Blood falls from Kunlun, and destiny becomes a tribulation. The young man Yao An awakens on the snowfields of Kunlun, having lost all memory of his past, with only a transparent ancient sword recognizing him as its master. Meanwhile, Yao Jue, a prince of the Di state, guards the southern frontier, but between royal power, family, and the flames of war, he steps step by step toward a point of no return. At the same time, undercurrents surge in the Yu court, feudal lords each make their moves, and lost deities and ancient bloodlines awaken one after another. Some guard lonely cities, some contend for the throne, some kill their lords to survive, and some bear guilt to become demons. As the old game of destiny begins anew, all beings in the Nine Provinces become pawns in the tribulation. — Description from novelcodex.org
