Zhang Yunqi was just a farm boy who fished by the river, until a conscription order dragged him into a death trap.
Reduced to cannon fodder in the army, he fought bloody battles atop the city walls, watched his brothers suffer, and had his military achievements stolen... Yet amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he came upon a mysterious black stone. He cultivated the Body Tempering Art of the Barbarian Wastes, feeding on blood and malice and armoring himself with bones!
From skin tempering to bone tempering, from an ordinary soldier to a tomb guardian, he devours deathly energy, refines primordial bones, crushes innate experts with his fists, and cleaves the netherworld with his blade.
Military conspiracies, the Gui-ranked pursuit, the legacy of an ancient battlefield, and the mystery of the Bone-Burying Icefield...
On this road to heaven paved with blood and bone, he will at last...
Become a god through his bones and stand triumphant above the heavens!
A book disguised as an alternate history, but actually about cultivation. Speechless.
There are too many metaphors; they're all just to pad the numbers.
