The Heavenly Dao watches? Then he'll defy Heaven itself!
He rises from the mire of mortal life and fights his way through schemes and power struggles, wielding reincarnation to eradicate every injustice in the world.
His former enemies kneel before him, thousands of immortal sects bow their heads, and orthodox and demonic paths alike become his pawns. One ancient secret after another comes to light.
Others cultivate immortality in pursuit of eternal life. I wield my sword toward the heavens.
In this life, I bow to neither Heaven nor Earth, and revere neither gods nor Buddhas.
With the sword in my hand, I will defy the reincarnation of countless ages!
