A Divine Emperor Reigns Above the Azure Clouds

The Divine Emperor of the Firmament tells the story of Lin Hao, a scion of a fallen clan, and his rise against the heavens. He awakens a mysterious stele mark from humble beginnings and sets off on a grand journey of cultivation. From first making a name for himself after joining the Qingyun Sect to becoming famous in a single battle at the imperial dynasty tournament, the young man gradually uncovers a shocking secret hidden in his bloodline, thanks to the fortuitous opportunities bestowed upon him.

The nine scattered Steles of the Firmament are tied not only to an ancient legacy, but also to the ultimate truth behind the struggle between gods and demons. When Lin Hao ventures into the Central Province, he meets Su Qingxue, an heir to an ancient clan, and forms a relationship that is part rivalry, part friendship with Mo Tianji, a peerless strategist. A conflict spanning the Nine Realms begins to unfold. As the ancient seals weaken, the Blood Demon Ancestor awakens with the power to destroy the world, and a cataclysm descends upon heaven and earth.

Having gathered the divine steles, Lin Hao breaks through to the Emperor Venerable Realm as the myriad worlds crumble, turning the tide in the war between gods and demons. But when order is restored and a new path is opened, an ultimate mystery that no one can solve still seems to lie behind the divine steles that have stood for all eternity...
