Ascendants of the Nine Suns (2025) is a Chinese fantasy martial-arts animation adapted from the popular web novel of the same name. Produced by iQIYI and animated by Xing Yi Kai Chen, the series follows the rebirth of Ye Yunfei, a once peerless talent whose martial meridians were destroyed, leading to betrayal by his clan, the loss of loved ones, and the tragic death of his father. Rescued and trained by the mysterious Purple Sage True Lord, Ye Yunfei eventually becomes the youngest Martial Emperor in history—only to be ambushed during his heavenly tribulation and forced into reincarnation.
Reborn into his teenage self at the moment his martial destiny collapsed, Ye Yunfei retains his millennium-old memories and a strand of Emperor soul. With knowledge of future dangers, rival clans, sect politics, and imperial geniuses, he chooses to rewrite his fate. From reclaiming his family’s honor and uncovering hidden conspiracies to defending the continent against foreign invaders, Ye Yunfei forges a new path through strength, willpower, and relentless cultivation.
Blending high-intensity action, cultivation power systems, clan intrigue, and rebirth revenge themes, The Divine Warrior of Jiuyang delivers a classic热血 (hot-blooded) fantasy experience. The series is set to release 20 episodes, starting November 22, 2025, and is available exclusively on iQIYI.
Ideal for fans of xianxia, wuxia, reincarnation stories, and cultivation worlds filled with sects, spirit treasures, and rising prodigies.
