Calamity of the Ice Luan and Crimson Phoenix: I Slay the Heavens with Arms and Medicine
A blood-soaked calamity is about to engulf the Xuanhuang Continent. Chai Ming, bearer of the Ice Luan divine soul, awakens the power of both the Ice Luan and Crimson Phoenix souls, only to be branded an “apocalypse bringer.” Icy patterns on his left shoulder gnaw at his bones, while crimson flames on his right neck burn his soul. Each month, he must seal his meridians with golden medical needles and drink Redflame Sand to stay alive.
Twenty years ago, his parents perished in the Red Abyss Calamity while sealing the Heavenly Demon. Twenty years later, a bronze coffin bearing the Nine-Infant totem appears in a cold kiln in Qingzhou, while assassins from the Hidden Scale Pavilion slaughter the city in search of his life. Zhao Yudie, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Secrets Guard, arrives and reveals the truth of his origins: the Ice Luan and Crimson Phoenix are twin souls born to slay gods, and the birthmark on his body bears the black blood of the original Guiguzi, who sealed the Heavenly Demon!
Chai Ming tempers his body through the art of war, controls his sword with golden needles, and uses his medical meridians to traverse life and death. Defying fate through slaughter, he leads the iron-willed siblings of the Duke Who Guards the Nation’s household, descendants of an ancient immortal clan, and a hundred thousand heroic souls clad in black armor. Together, they wield their spears and shatter armor forged from fallen stars.
Deep within the Red Abyss, the Heavenly Demon’s altar reappears. Chai Ming burns away both souls and points his spear at the sky. “If the Heavenly Dao treats all creation like straw dogs, then I’ll shatter the nine heavens with ice and fire and slay the heavens themselves!” In the midst of battle, tears fall from the immortal clan’s BOSS, and an identical frost-flower birthmark appears on their forehead. The ultimate god-slaying blade is forged from the fire of conviction, kindled by a hundred thousand commoners wielding hoes. More astonishing still, this final battle for all living things erupts atop Beijing’s China World Trade Center Tower in 2023!
