## The Immortal’s Defiance of Fate
> The Nine Abyssal Locks in Chen Yan’s dantian are cracking every moment.
> Once they shatter, the primordial power sealed within will tear him to pieces.
> To stay alive, he has no choice but to keep devouring other people’s spiritual roots and cultivation.
> From a rising star of the sect to a giant of the demonic path, he advances over mountains of bones.
> “The world calls me a wicked demon, but all I want is to survive.”
> Yet when he stands atop the immortal and demonic worlds, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood beneath his feet, he discovers that he is nothing more than a discarded piece on the gods’ chessboard.
> “If I’m a discarded piece, then I’ll flip the board and defy fate to become the player!”
