Devour Gods, Swallow Immortals

Thirteen-year-old Lin Han ventures deep into the mountains to gather herbs for his gravely ill father, but falls into a cave and finds the heaven-defying cultivation manual, the Evergreen Art, which has lain dormant for centuries. He joins a sect and begins cultivating, only to find that the years of lying low bring him no peaceful path to immortality. Instead, he is ambushed along the way. After killing his attacker, he obtains a heaven-defying art that rapidly boosts his cultivation. When a strange vortex appears in his palm, one that can devour other people's cultivation, Lin Han sets foot on the Asura path, growing stronger through battle. From Foundation Establishment cultivators to mighty Deity Transformation experts, every breakthrough is steeped in the blood and souls of his enemies.

When the divine light of ascension from the Immortal Realm descends, he realizes the immortals are waiting to carve him up. He thinks, though, that it's anyone's guess who will devour whom. To the astonishment of the immortals, he devours the body of the first immortal. When the Thirty-Three Heavens discover this anomaly who can devour immortal cores, the Peach Banquet atop the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace has become a blood-soaked Asura battlefield, while the Taotie star chart hanging above all worlds slowly turns with the devouring vortex at his fingertips.

Mortals devour spirits; immortals devour the Dao. Watch as the Devourer, born in the Age of Dharma Decline, paves a path to sainthood with the bones of ten thousand immortals. When the final fetter of karma breaks, will the black lotus of devouring blooming in the depths of chaos mark the prelude to the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, or the dawn of a new era? The answers await your discovery.
