On the Cangxuan Continent, where the spirit veins have dried up, Ye Jinghong is born with ancient demon blood and branded an ill omen. Her family cuts out her bones and marrow. After narrowly escaping death, she unexpectedly awakens a spirit-devouring constitution capable of consuming all things. Hunted by both the immortal and demonic paths, she rises step by step from a lowly victim to the Spirit-Devouring Empress who overturns the laws of heaven and earth. When she climbs to the summit of the heavens on a ladder of bones, guided by tears of blood, those who once trampled her into the dust finally understand: when a phoenix crushed to pieces is reborn in flames, it is the prejudice of the entire world that burns.
