On a night of torrential rain, Chen Luobai does the most reckless thing of his life to save a dying girl: with his mortal body, he gives mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Li Lingwei, the daughter of an Immortal Venerable who failed her tribulation.
That breath blows away his ordinary life as a deliveryman, but opens the door to the bloody storms of the cultivation world. He becomes an unexpected piece on his Heavenly Venerable father-in-law’s chessboard and receives the supreme treasure, the Xuantian Pearl, unaware that he has already been drawn into a plot spanning the ages.
But his good fortune does not last. An enemy’s assassin tears through the sky and descends upon him. His homeland is destroyed, his family and friends are wiped out, and his beloved is taken back to the Spirit Illusion Realm. Dragging his battered body along, he dies with the assassin, only to be protected by the Xuantian Pearl and resurrected in another body as Chen Yufeng, a good-for-nothing young master in the Spirit Illusion Realm.
In this life, his blood still runs hot, and his soul remains unbroken.
The smile of the deliveryman he once was has been tempered into a blade that will bring down the Nine Heavens.
“The Heavenly Dao wants me to kneel? Then I’ll tear the heavens apart!”
“If fate demands that every loved one of mine perish and my beloved remain forever beyond my reach...”
“Then with this mortal body, I’ll bury the Heavenly Dao!”
In this life, he will fight for the right to live for the powerless and command the pieces on the board for all under heaven.
