Against the Cosmos

When a crimson blood moon devours the night sky and the wave of spiritual qi revival sweeps across the world, the fate of ordinary youth Chen Yan is abruptly changed amid the bloody afterglow of a convenience store. The awakened Heavenly Secrets Compass is a beacon in the darkness. It not only grants him the power to divine life and death, but also draws him into a shocking conspiracy spanning the stars.

Keeping his true strength hidden, he wins against stronger opponents in the martial arts arena, then pretends to be flustered. He stays low-key amid the undercurrents of the auction, yet always manages to claim rare treasures amid the chaos. The lightning of the Nine Heavens Thunder Art lies dormant in his palm. Behind every seemingly coincidental stroke of fortune is a tacit game of wits between him and the Heavenly Secrets Compass. From a bronze coffin in an abandoned factory to a battle over sacred medicine in a mysterious medicinal valley, Chen Yan keeps breaking through the nine shackles of the Body Tempering Realm amid constant danger. His explorations of ancient ruins also yield lost cultivation techniques and primordial treasures.

But when the interstellar passageway bursts open and the shadow of extraterrestrial demons falls over the universe, he realizes that the spiritual qi revival was only the prelude to a grand cosmic game. The feuds among cultivators that once played out on street corners have become tiny sparks on a cosmic battlefield. Gripping the token stained with blood and glory, Chen Yan fights alongside his beloved confidantes and sworn brothers, holding fast to his conviction that martial arts can shatter the heavens. Amid the brilliant sea of stars, he writes an eternal legend of his own.
