In a blood-soaked tomb in Qinghai, Lu Jiuyuan stumbles upon half of an ancient scroll made of human skin. It describes eight unknown and deadly tombs.
In their first expedition, to a highland blood tomb, the corpse of a woman in the coffin looks exactly like Bai Chan. A thousand-year-old blood jade traps the group in a hallucination of being buried alive.
In Yunnan’s Insect Valley, corpse fireflies gather into the faces of the dead, while a bronze drum formation causes people’s organs to explode.
In the Merman Tomb in the East Sea, something invisible scratches at the bronze coffin night after night.
At the Corpse Immortal Temple in western Hunan, half the expedition members have been dead for ages without realizing it...
Lu Jiuyuan gradually discovers that the eight deadly tombs form an altar for an evil god’s resurrection.
When the last piece of the human-skin bone book falls into place, he is horrified to realize that he is the chosen living sacrifice.
The enormous bronze doors slowly swing open. Beyond them awaits the ultimate darkness, which has already devoured the world.
