Beneath the ninth heavenly tribulation, Lin Yue, a mighty cultivator at the Tribulation stage, is ambushed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Just as his soul is about to be annihilated, he unexpectedly binds himself to the Time Restart System and returns to the start, at the Qi Refining stage.
In his previous life, his talent was mediocre and every step was a struggle. In the end, he became the ninth Tribulation-stage cultivator sacrificed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Now he returns with the System, wielding tribulation flames to incinerate the laws of the Heavenly Dao and using his memories to explore secret realms and perilous lands. From seizing a hidden spiritual vein in a spirit-mine town to snatching a Dao Seed in the Lingxu Secret Realm, he crushes Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators with nothing but the three mortal realms of cultivation, making the impossible routine.
The Heavenly Dao Alliance sees him as a thorn in its side. Leng Ningshuang presses him at every turn with her laws of ice, while ghost cultivators and extraterritorial fiends surround him one after another. Yet in dire straits, Lin Yue fuses karmic fire and awakens the divine ability to make his words reality. He also wins over the demon cultivator Su Yao as an ally, gathering forces to oppose the Heavenly Dao Alliance and vowing to expose its conspiracy to "restart the Heavenly Dao through nine sacrifices."
When the System resonates with the tribulation flames, and mortal laws clash with the power of the Dao Ancestor, he will reshape the order of cultivation with his reborn body and make the Heavenly Dao Alliance pay in blood. "In my past life, you cut off my path to immortality. In this life, I'll defy the heavens!"
