Spiritual energy is poison. The Other Shore is a prison.
Lu Chen carries his younger sister, her body crawling with black markings, as they flee for their lives through the torrential rain. Only when he plunges into the abyss does he understand: this world has long since rotted away! Cultivation is like drinking poison to quench one's thirst. The higher one's realm, the more one becomes a twisted monster.
His dantian is shattered? A mysterious jade pendant seeps with a stream of pure energy! Enemies surround him? A bloodthirsty, rusted sword helps him devour evil and slay his foes! But the price is brutal: scales sprout as his right arm turns monstrous, sunlight scorches his bones, and whispers from the Other Shore tempt his heart...
His one unyielding obsession is to save his younger sister Xiao He, imprisoned and being refined. She is the "pill catalyst" for purifying Dao corruption, and, beneath this decaying Heavenly Dao, the last anchor of humanity left to Lu Chen.
When the rusted sword points to the heavens and a colossal hand from the Other Shore tears through the sky screen, how will he carve a path to freedom from this cage known as the "Dao Shore"?
...The more you cultivate, the more insane you become. To become invincible, first sever the Dao!
