Before his brother's bones have even grown cold, the seventy-two wards of Qingyun Sword Sect light up for him. Born with the rarest Devouring Spirit Evil Body in a thousand years, he is an evil entity the sect is sworn to kill, and the perfect sacrifice in the eyes of schemers.
To protect his sister Yue Li, who bears a seal within her, he swallows a tribulation bolt and braves the sword mound. Under the exploitation and protection of Luo Qingyi, the Medicine King Valley's saintess, he slowly becomes a demon. Xiao Hei, the Netherworld Dark Phoenix, awakens the flames that burn the heavens from the form of a scruffy black chicken. Xiao Xueyi, a prodigy of Lingxiao Sword Sect, shatters her core and starts cultivating anew, forging a life-and-death pact with him. A bronze coffin beneath the blood moon, a wheel engraved with the lives and deaths of a hundred thousand Dao bodies, chains behind the Heavenly Gate that bind ancient secrets... The three great sects' Edict to Exterminate Evil pursues him at every turn, unaware that Jiang Hanzhou's evil body has already devoured the Heaven-Swallowing Art, capable of reversing yin and yang.
When twin wings bloom from his sister's lotus mark, and his brother's broken sword reveals the Starfall Pavilion's foul scheme, Jiang Hanzhou wields ink as his sword and smashes the nine tiers of sacrificial altars. Along the way, he must cut down not only his enemies, but also the fate of certain death that the Heavenly Dao has written for Dao bodies. And why does the woman seated on the throne at the end of the Heavenly Gate look exactly like Yue Li?
