Qi Mo, a menial disciple with four spiritual roots, was regarded as a good-for-nothing at cultivation.
He struggled to survive at the bottom of the sect, enduring contempt and bullying.
The only person who treated him kindly was Chu Yurou, the sect leader's daughter. But an arranged marriage for political gain meant she was about to be forced to marry Zhou Bapi, a narrow-minded scion of a cultivation clan.
By chance, Qi Mo obtained a battered old bronze lamp.
A mysterious lamp spirit lived inside it, and it even stirred a barely perceptible trace of ancient dragon energy within his body!
But fortune is always shadowed by misfortune.
The ancient lamp and the dragon energy were both a ladder to the heavens and a death warrant.
Zhou Bapi's jealous oppression grew ever more vicious, and he wanted to eliminate Qi Mo once and for all;
Lin Xiaoman, the young mistress of the Medicine Hall, possessed a medicinal spirit body and quietly approached him. Behind her concern, however, there seemed to be a far-reaching scheme by her sect's elders;
And deep in the secret realm of Sky Mist Peak, the evil thoughts of a demon sage who had slept for ten thousand ages were gradually awakening. Scarlet demon fog spread, demon beasts ran wild and out of control, and calamity swept across the mortal world!
The Blackwater Secret Realm was about to open. In the life-or-death trial for Qi Refining cultivators,
danger lurked everywhere: Zhou Bapi's schemes, the whispers of ancient beings, the covetousness of fellow disciples...
His close friend was taken hostage, the woman he loved was in danger, and undercurrents swirled through the sect.
Qi Mo had no choice but to press on with the lamp in hand, fighting for that one glimmer of immortal opportunity in the face of utter despair!
"A good-for-nothing with no talent for cultivation? Just watch as my dragon lamp devours every spiritual treasure under heaven and defies fate!"
This is the story of an ordinary man who wields a dragon lamp, devours spiritual essence, and slays his enemies, forging a path to the heavens amid the contest between immortals and demons and the calamity of the apocalypse!
