Nine Calamities Burn My Heart: All to Keep You Safe and at Peace

“If enduring the agony of these Nine Tribulations burning my heart can buy you a lifetime of peace, then I will bear it for a thousand, ten thousand lifetimes!”, Xiao Chen

On the Tianxuan Continent, countless races vie for supremacy. Xiao Chen carries an incomplete bloodline of the Blazing Heaven Battle Clan and a Nine Tribulations Battle Physique. Every breakthrough tears at his soul, but even this bone-deep pain is nothing beside his determination to protect.

His childhood sweetheart, Chen Mengting, possesses the Taiyin Sacred Body, a power capable of drawing the covetous eyes of the heavens. She is Xiao Chen's only refuge amid endless blood and flames, and the one he is determined to protect at any cost. For her, he wields his battered blade and burns with battle fervor, fighting his way from a remote border town to the peak of the heavens!

But the price of protection is flesh and blood, cultivation, lifespan, and even the soul! Like a moth flying into a flame, he shields his beloved and his companions from every blade and inferno.

Shi Meng raises a broken arm to hold up the sky, using his body as a shield; Xiao Li burns his soul in battle, his frenzied blood staining the heavens; Zhuge Ming turns himself into a formation to seal away ten thousand demons; Night Owl's final song in the shadows ends in mutual annihilation; Su Muyu tends the wounded with white hair, sacrificing her compassionate heart... The Five Tigers who once fought side by side with him lay a blood-soaked path for him in the most heroic way imaginable.

Yet when Chen Mengting, the one he loves most, blows up her own source of power to save him and turns into a single strand of hair... half of Xiao Chen's heart dies with her. Though he shatters the Divine Realm, slays the Evil Emperor, rekindles the Heavenly Dao with his remnant soul, and protects all living beings...

Can the peaceful dawn he bought with everything he had make room for his shattered soul? And can it bring back the figure beneath the tree who once smiled sweetly at him?

The Nine Tribulations burn the heart not to become an emperor or prove the Dao, but only to give you a lifetime of peace. I'll pay the price! I'll stand against the heavens!
