The Reincarnation of the Beginningless Great Emperor

Synopsis of Against Heaven: The Immortal Path Through the Mortal World

At the end of the immortal path, who stands supreme? One glimpse of Wu Shi, and all the Dao is rendered void!

In the final years of the Primordial Era, a rift in the Immortal Realm tore open. The Immortal Emperor fell into the mortal world and sought to reopen the path to immortality by blood-sacrificing countless races, triggering a dark upheaval. At the same time, on Wu Shi Peak in the Eastern Wilderness, a child born with the innate Sacred Body and Dao Embryo came into the world amid celestial wonders and the roar of dragons across the heavens. In a mass grave in the Southern Domain, a young woman dug up her elder brother’s finger bone and forged a sword from her own hair, slaying gods to prove the Dao. Wu Shi and the Ruthless One, a brother and sister bound together by fate, set out on a path against heaven through the endless night of the ages.

Built upon the cultivation system of Shrouding the Heavens and centered on the bond between two emperors, this book tells of Wu Shi’s rise from Sacred Body and Dao Embryo to a mortal-world immortal, and of the Ruthless One’s defiance of fate despite her mortal body, driven by the conviction, “I seek not to become an immortal, only to wait for you in the mortal world.” From revealing his brilliance in the Secret Realm of the Sea of Bitterness to proving the Dao on the Immortal Platform and suppressing the ages; from the Nine Dragons pulling a coffin and stirring destiny to crossing time and space to save one another in a strange world, the Wu Shi Bell shatters the bones of the Supreme, while the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar devours the origins of the myriad Daos. The two emperors join forces to battle the Immortal Emperor and fight Emperor Zun, breaking through one deadly impasse after another amid dark upheavals and crises in the Immortal Realm.

When Ye Fan arrives with the Nine Dragons pulling a coffin, the remnants of the two emperors’ souls awaken. Together with the Heavenly Emperor, they break open the gate to the Immortal Realm, only to discover an ultimate crisis where a world-ending black lotus intertwines with chaotic evil thoughts. Wu Shi uses his Chaos Sacred Body to slay the Lord of Darkness, while the Ruthless One transforms into a Chaos Immortal Demon and reverses time and space. In the end, she transforms into the Dao and becomes light, merging with the laws of heaven and earth and becoming an eternal legend who protects all races.

This is a grand cultivation epic, and a tragic song of a brother and sister spanning the ages. From a lonely grave in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to Dao Ancestors in the Chaos Immortal Realm, Wu Shi and the Ruthless One forge a legend with blood and fire, using their conviction and devotion to embody what it means to be an “immortal of the mortal world”
