Ling Tian was once one of the Ten Immortal Emperors of the Lingyun Immortal Realm, with tremendous status and power. But after obtaining the legendary Primordial Desolate Divine Artifact, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cauldron, he became the target of the entire immortal realm, which coveted it and turned against him. Cornered at Soulbreak Cliff, he chose to use the Blood Demon Disintegration Art to take his enemies down with him, shattering the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cauldron in the process.
Yet Ling Tian did not truly die. He was reborn in a plane called the True Martial Continent, where he became the live-in son-in-law of the Xu family, a notorious wastrel. With his memories and cultivation experience from his previous life, Ling Tian began cultivating anew, defied fate, and eventually rose to prominence.
