Lin Yi was born a mortal in a cage.
A bloody rain fell over Qinglan City. With a casual gesture, a great sect from the Immortal Realm wiped out his entire clan, and his childhood sweetheart, Su Yao, was refined into a puppet. Because a fragment of an ancient demonic jar was embedded in his heart, he became a "Spirit-Devouring Evil Body," rejected by the Heavenly Dao.
From then on, an ant raised its blade against the immortals.
He devoured cultivators' blood essence to break through, braved the Sword-Burial Abyss to reverse his spiritual roots, and used a mortal body to slay Spirit-Transformation cultivators and condense qi to kill Nascent Soul masters.
After slaughtering his way through the lower realm, he discovered that so-called ascension was merely a step into an even crueler cage. The spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm was tainted, and its cultivators were livestock raised by the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao Academy. Su Yao, meanwhile, was the "fated calamity" the Academy had laid in his path for a hundred thousand years, all to tame him.
"You want me to become a demon? Then I'll burn this divine throne to ashes!"
In the Immortal-Burial Valley, he crunched three thousand immortal bones to forge the Immortal-Slaying Battle Body. Beneath the Sea of Reincarnation, he severed the karma of a hundred lifetimes and saw through the Heavenly Dao's lies.
When the gates to the Divine Realm burst open, Lin Yi pointed his sword at the darkest depths of the heavens:
"After this sword, no immortal or god will ever again oppress my human race..."
"If reincarnation exists, all I ask is to share another peach-blossom rain with her in a mortal world without immortals or calamities."
Okay, okay, very exciting
