The Tianyuan Continent has been ruled by the Nine Heavens Divine Court for a hundred thousand years. Ordinary people must offer their flesh and blood to the gods in exchange for survival. Every hundred years, the Divine Court imposes a “Heavenly Punishment,” selecting the most gifted to become divine servants. In truth, their spines are extracted and forged into divine weapons. When the young Ye Qingyu’s father refused to make an offering, his spine was ripped out and his body hung from the altar as a warning. His mother was consumed by divine fire while saving him, leaving behind only half of a bloodstained jade pendant.
From an outer sect disciple to the founder of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, he gathers ancient divine artifacts across seven forbidden lands and uncovers the “Immortal-Locking Steles” hidden by the Heavenly Dao Palace in various realms.
As he ascends through the nine heavens, he exposes the truth of the Heavenly Dao: the so-called gods are merely the first ascenders, who stole the origin of chaos and established the System of Reincarnation to maintain their rule.
At the end of time and space, he awakens the heroic spirits of generations of rebel cultivators who were erased from history. At the cost of shattering the thirty-three heavens, he rebuilds the laws of chaos and establishes a new cultivation system.
