“If this world has no place for me, then I’ll devour the world!”
Lin Jin huddled in the shadows of the family altar, the taste of rust flooding his mouth. The Soul-Testing Pillar’s red light flared for the third time, slapping him across the face. The clan members he had once shielded now drenched his dignity in Netherwolf blood. Only when blood-red chains pierced the chests of seven prodigies, and the bloodied scythe of a Spirit Hall emissary rested against his neck, did he learn the truth: he was nothing more than a “human-shaped medicinal catalyst” raised by the Soul Clan for sixteen years.
Devour the Soul-Testing Pillar, eat a Spirit Hall holy knight alive, and trample the laws of two worlds!
The moment the Chaos Furnace awakened in his dantian, all the gods and buddhas of the heavens trembled beneath his feet. With the Burning Art in his left hand, he refines strange flames; with a soul seal in his right, he tears apart the firmament. While others need a hundred years of arduous cultivation to break through, he can crush them all simply by “eating”! The prodigies of the Two Worlds Academy mock him for having a useless furnace martial soul? The next moment, their god-tier martial souls become appetizers in his furnace!
But the price of defying heaven is eternal loneliness.
His childhood sweetheart Xiao Wu sacrificed her soul ring for him, becoming a soul spirit trapped in the furnace forever. His archenemy Han Feng was implanted with a soul seed and forced to face him with blades drawn on the life-and-death stage. Even Xiao Li, who once vowed to burn the Eight Desolations with him, was reduced to ashes in the Netherworld Female Emperor’s Soul-Refining Cauldron...
Who says battle qi and martial souls can’t be cultivated together? I’ll climb to the top by trampling the laws of both worlds!”
From a good-for-nothing on the frontier to the ruler of both worlds, Lin Jin uses the Chaos Furnace to carve his way through the nine layers of heavenly tribulations. When he stands atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with the Netherworld Female Emperor’s shattered divine core beneath his feet, Xiao Wu’s soft laugh comes from the furnace: “Brother Jin, this time we should devour the Heavenly Dao, right?”
