Martial Might Over the Eight Wastes: A Heavenly Tribulation Needle Planted in Me by My Clan from the Start

Not a power fantasy. Not an invincible-hero story. Not an invincible-hero story. Not a brainless story. (Readers beware: you might get so hooked you can't put it down.) On the night the Black Tortoise wept blood, the young Li Xufeng had 108 Heavenly Tribulation Needles driven into him by his own kin. His bones were scraped clean, his meridians sealed, and he was reduced to a cripple. He had no idea that the golden needle lodged in his Shenting acupoint concealed a star chart. Each needle removed awakened a fragment of a memory that had been erased: he was the Chosen Son of Tribulation, born of a thousand-year-old dragon vein! When the skeletal remains of a five-clawed golden dragon beneath a bronze altar opened their vertical pupils; when the crescent-moon pendant around his childhood sweetheart's neck revealed the crest of the Elven Clan; when a Netherworld Demon Ark burst through the clouds, carrying the former love who had been forced to abort her child and marry far away... With the stars of the Zhou Tian on his left hand, he refined the Heavenly Tribulation Needles into an array. With the Reverse Meridian Art in his right, he overturned the laws of martial cultivation. From Nanxiang Commandery to Lanma Pass, he shattered the dynasty's dragon pillars, stormed the Northern Di court, and proved with every head he struck down that the so-called divine punishment was nothing but a lie told by gods who feared the true dragon awakening. And the crippled beggar who had once slipped him half a jade pendant was now perched on a wine gourd in the clouds, smiling as he tossed a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir toward a battlefield ablaze with blood and fire... "Boy, these three main needles your mother gave her life to obtain should be returned to their rightful owner." This is the fiery legend of a sealed child of the dragon vein who tears through the nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation. Amid the rise and fall of dynasties and the struggles between immortals and demons, he wields tribulation as his blade and the star chart as his armor, ultimately becoming the Eternal Saint Venerable Beyond Tribulation. When the last golden needle leaves his body, the nine great races finally realize that the god-slaying weapon they had painstakingly forged with their own hands has long since turned the chains of Heaven's Way into a grand staircase to the skies.
