The Odin Mainland is divided into four countries, each inhabited by a group of soul masters who protect their territory using their soul powers. The seven most powerful among them are known as the Noble Lords. The story begins in the Water Origin, the Aslan Empire. Qi Ling has worked as a busboy in an inn since childhood and subconsciously tamed a legendary soul beast, Ice Fang, during a battle between soul masters. Yin Chen (Kris Wu), acting on orders from the Silver Priest, takes Qi Ling in as his disciple. With Yin Chen's assistance, Qi Ling heads to the Grave of the Souls to seek his soul weapon. However, unable to remain still as his lord instructed, he enters the Grave of the Souls alongside Tianshu You Hua and Guishan Lian Quan. Consequently, Qi Ling becomes embroiled in the approaching storm: a battle of soul powers between the lords. Simultaneously, a long-standing conspiracy within the Aslan Empire gradually reveals itself. While searching for Qi Ling, Yin Chen discovers that his master, the former First Lord Gilgamesh, may still be alive, prompting him to risk everything to search for his former master. At the same time, the killing lords You Ming and Thalia receive orders from the Silver Priest to kill Guishan Lian Quan and her brother, Guishen Feng Hun. A battle between the lords and disciples, fought for truth and honor, thus ensues.
