Spiritual energy is toxic, and cultivation turns people into demons.
Su Chi, the “jinxed one” of the Blighted Lands, is born to attract filth and the uncanny. The world’s wails ring in his ears without end.
When he is on the brink of death, the dormant power within him erupts. A single command, “Silence,” annihilates a terrifying Dao aberration!
This power is both a key and a shackle.
He is captured by the most dangerous organization in the Bone-Eroding Realm: the Guixu Dao Academy. His number: Corrosion-79.
Within this living den of demons,
cultivation means analyzing contamination, dissecting monsters, and stealing forbidden knowledge.
The twisted buildings writhe, the instructors are inhuman, and his classmates harbor horrors within them.
Su Chi bears the curse of the “Corrosion Source” and awakens the power of “Silence,” which can annihilate anything. Every use hastens his own mutation and demise.
A girl who raises demons, a madman who steals secrets, and a perfect vessel: the Guixu Dao Academy is a dark forest, where every step teeters on the brink of madness. The Heavenly Dao eats away at the bones, and the path of cultivation twists out of shape. Su Chi struggles to survive, hoping that before he is reduced to scraps or turned into a tool, he can seize a toxic glimmer called “self” along this dead-end path of soundless annihilation.
This is a mad path that burns the heart and corrodes the soul, fueled by bone.
