**The blood has yet to cool, so let the debts burn!**
Lin Jin, a good-for-nothing boy from the frontier, is thrown into a deep pool by the powerful when he tries to protect his gravely ill younger sister. There, he unexpectedly awakens the ancient forbidden art sealed within his bloodline, the Nine Tribulations Heaven-Burning Art. Nine crimson-gold evil dragons break free from their seals in the icy depths, while twin forces of ice and fire overturn his meridians. Only when one palm melts an enemy's black iron staff does he learn that he is the last surviving descendant of the Tianyun Lin Clan, wiped out a hundred years ago.
In his left hand, the demonic fire of the Azure Luan burns the heavens; in his right, the Nightwatcher's demonic blade suppresses the abyss. To resurrect his sister, who died a terrible death, Lin Jin ventures into the ghost market, melts an ice coffin, and feeds dragon souls. But he gradually becomes entangled in a shocking game laid out three hundred years ago. Behind the truth about the Fenglei Pavilion murdering kin to seize the art lies the secret of the first Nightwatcher leader's demonic transformation. Within the three-life reincarnation memories of Su Hongyu, the red-clad demoness, is a life-and-death pact between the Heaven-Burning Martial Emperor and the Azure Luan Demon Venerable.
When the Nine Nether Demon Abyss breaks through its seal, he discovers that his cultivation has been part of someone else's scheme all along. Each breakthrough in the Heaven-Burning Art costs him an emotion, and his awakened Heaven-Burning Battle Body is in fact a vessel for resurrecting the Primordial Demon Lord! His former close friend Han Qiye is covered in demonic markings, his black blade pointed at Lin Jin's brow. His sworn enemy Qin Wuya sheds his human skin to reveal a face identical to that of the Lin Clan's ancestor...
**Tread the path to heaven with burning blood, and defy the cycle of rebirth with charred bones!**
On this god-slaying journey that begins in an icy pool and ends in the highest heavens, the youth clenches his steadily cooling fist. If heaven and earth will not let mortals bear the flame, then he will use Fenglei Pavilion as a candle, the Nightwatchers as a lamp, and the Ninefold Demon Abyss as a furnace, burning through the endless night until dawn! When the bones of dragons from the eight wastelands forge his sword and the heart of nine tribulations tempers his soul, watch as the figure who once knelt in the rain burns all the gods and Buddhas across the heavens to ashes!
