Xialan: Defying Heaven with the Five Elements

Year 2147 of the Dharma-Ending Era, atop Kunlun.

Chen Daoxuan, the last inheritor of Daoism, faces the ninth heavenly tribulation, only to be annihilated by the winds of the cosmos.

His true spirit does not perish. With his battered body, he transmigrates through a rift in space and time, falls into the world of Xia Lan, and becomes an abandoned baby by the river.

He is adopted by the kindhearted villager Lin Ruolan and grows up alongside his sworn brother, Zhan Chi.

Gifted with all five elements, he cultivates both Dao and martial arts.

Inner alchemy, alchemy, talismans, astragalus arts, and the pinnacle of traditional martial arts: memories of his past life gradually awaken as his cultivation advances.

The seals on the ancient demonic beasts weaken, and Zero Power runs rampant across the world.

He devours Taotie, Qiongqi, Hundun, and Taowu one by one, refining them into fuel for cultivation.

The five elements reverse, and yin and yang first emerge.

Brothers fight side by side, and close friends walk the road together.

When the Zero King awakens, when the world falls...

He bears the weight of all living beings on his own.

But the price is the most painful loss of his life.

"If protecting the world means losing you, I will still choose to protect it. But I'll find a way to bring you back."
