When a soul from another world awakens inside a primordial stone, the naturally born stone monkey Sun Zhantian opens his eyes to find the remnants of chaos still lingering and the Three Clans locked in fierce battle.
He refuses to be a prisoner beneath the Five Elements Mountain, and he has no desire to become merely the Victorious Fighting Buddha before the Buddha.
He gathers the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain, forges a Mountain-Splitting Staff from black iron and vines, and creates the Heaven-Equaling Battle Canon. He clashes head-on with ferocious tigers using only his body and subdues giant snakes with his wits, carving out a place for himself in the primordial world by sheer force.
At the Purple Cloud Palace, he listens to the Dao and realizes not the virtue of serenity and inaction, but the true meaning of battle. During the War Between the Liches, he protects not a secluded corner, but the survival of the monkey clan. When the Investiture of the Gods calamity begins, he safeguards not the victory of any sect, but the balance of the Three Realms.
From innate stone monkey to Fighting Saint, from Flower-Fruit Mountain to the Sea of Hongmeng, he uses his golden-hooped staff as a brush and his hot blood as ink to write a legend of battling Heaven and protecting the Dao.
Dragons, phoenixes, and qilin bow before him. The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa look on in awe. Extraterritorial fiends tremble in fear.
See how Sun Zhantian leads the monkey clan to forge a path to survival in a primordial world teeming with countless races, hold fast to his convictions amid the torrents of chaos, and ultimately establish an eternal monument to the Dao of Battle, spanning all worlds!
