Daoist Venerable of the Otherworldly Path

The Heavenly Dao is dead, and the rules have become poison.

In a world swallowed by chaos, common sense is a deadly trap. The father of Shijian, a boy from a mountain village, and the hunting party are swallowed by an unnatural darkness. Their flesh vanishes, and they become “strange horrors,” neither alive nor dead.

Just as hope is nearly lost, a mysterious horror slayer brings a glimmer of hope: treasures capable of reversing the rules exist in this world, and Shijian himself is one in ten thousand, a “Spiritheart Physique” capable of glimpsing the truth amid chaos.

To save his loved ones, Shijian resolutely embarks on the path of “cultivating the strange”: discerning the rules among countless horrors and mastering them, until he becomes the ruler of this chaotic apocalypse.
