The Heaven-Slaying Chronicles

When chaos came to an end, the world was divided into six realms. The ancient gods established heavenly laws, placing all life under the rule of the Divine Realm and restricting the potential of every race. Humans, demons, and fiends were forever forbidden from breaking through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Countless beings unwilling to remain bound secretly amassed their strength, waiting for a chance to defy heaven. Ling Cang, the last descendant of humanity's ancient lineage, bears the long-extinct bloodline of a Primordial God of War. He grew up in the remote borderlands of the Human Realm, where he awakened the power of his bloodline by chance and met four companions who each carried a different ancient legacy. Dark currents stir beneath the world. The Demon Realm joins forces with ferocious beasts to break the seal of the Underworld, the Demon Realm is divided from within, and the gods of the Immortal Realm choose to submit to the Divine Realm's powerful rulers, allowing the lower realms to wage war among themselves. To secure his rule, the Divine Realm's Celestial Emperor resolves to purge every potential threat, dispatching ancient gods to the lower realms to eliminate those with unusual bloodlines. As Ling Cang and his companions travel through the six realms, seeking ancient ruins and uncovering the secrets of their ancestors, they gradually learn the truth hidden since the world's creation: the so-called heavenly laws are merely shackles used by the gods of the Divine Realm to monopolize the power at the world's source. Along the way, five women with special bloodlines encounter the group in turn. One was born in the Immortal Realm but despises the injustice of the Heavenly Dao; one is a princess of the Demon Realm seeking freedom for her people; one commands the Underworld's ghostly power; and one carries the legacy of Shennong.
