Underdog rises to power + slow burn + decisive and ruthless + supreme swordsmanship + invincible
Li Chen, a young disciple of the Sword Sect, has only thirty years left to live from the start, after inheriting an ultimate legacy.
The day the gray thread burns out will be the day his soul scatters.
To stay alive, he descends the mountain with his sword, hunting demonic cultivators under the name of the Lone Sword, only to stumble into the Demonic Sect Saintess Murong Qianqian’s “Soul-Transference Blood Pact.”
Her lifespan overflows, while the flame of his life is about to die out. Bound by the pact, they must exchange their lifespans once every ten years, sharing life and death.
On the Qiuyuan Continent, where countless sects compete to establish their foundations, he joins hands with Qianqian to fight his way through the genius rankings, enter the Heavenly Song Secret Realm, seize a Heavenly Fire Pill, and extend his life so he can keep fighting.
The six great sects besiege Heavenly Spear Peak. He stands alone against the world, his sword bringing down countless Nascent Soul cultivators.
The demon realm splits open, the demonic world descends, and amid the chaos he forms his Nascent Soul, roaming the world as a Nascent Soul cultivator and seeking eternal life with his sword.
The countdown keeps ticking
When the final segment of gray thread goes out, can he use the sword in his hand to cut through fate and live out his days with Qianqian?
Traditional xianxia fantasy + no System + a shared lifespan countdown
Every exchange is a gamble between life and death; every sword strike borrows time from the heavens!
Although it is slow to get started, it is not procrastinating and is worth watching by all fellow Taoists.
