The mountain boy Chen Min and his Black Ink Leopard only wanted to live peacefully with their baskets of medicinal herbs. Then one day, a blood-red beast pattern atop Qingluo Mountain lit up the sky
When the sharp claws of a Red-Eyed Demon Ape tore through the morning mist, the little leopard who had shared Chen Min's life took a fatal blow for him. The Primordial Azure Wolf Totem that appeared in Chen Min's palm threw the entire Yunze Continent into turmoil.
With the bloodline of a Beast King awakened and the Myriad Beasts Compendium at his side, he can temper his body by devouring demon beast cores and break through realms by taming ancient spirit beasts. The sect elders call his companion a “mangy wild leopard,” never realizing that Black Ink can vanish into the night like a shadow and tear through thunder with its claws. The scions of noble clans mock him as a “country bumpkin,” only to be forced to their knees by the pressure of his bloodline.
But the blood-red altar deep in Qingluo Mountain, the writhing two-headed serpent pattern on his jade pendant, and the phantom of an azure wolf that keeps appearing during tribulations all point to a greater secret
The path of beast-taming cultivation has never been just about the bond between humans and spirit beasts. It is a gamble between bloodlines and the Heavenly Dao.
“Xiao Mo, bite him on the back of the neck!”
“Awooo, ” (This leopard only accepts roasted rock-goat legs as overtime pay.)
From a boy who gathers herbs to the sovereign of all beasts, Chen Min presses onward through thunder and conspiracy.
Cultivators everywhere say demon beasts are savage, but they don't know that the true Beast King will win the submission of all beasts with a sincere heart, and suppress the demon emperors of the Eight Wastelands with his blazing blood!
