In the perilous world of cultivation lies a deathly place known as the “Heavenly Burial Forbidden Zone.” Countless fallen ancient powerhouses are buried there, their remains intertwined with the laws of the world to form a strange forbidden zone teeming with life. The protagonist, Lu Chen, is on the brink of death after being hunted into this place when, in his despair, he unexpectedly awakens a mysterious “Heavenly Burial Domain” within himself. This domain does not directly grant him power. Instead, it can use the powerful corpses within the zone as “anchors” to briefly “recreate” their combat projections from the peak of their former strength, allowing Lu Chen to control them.
For Lu Chen, “corpse collecting” means searching the forbidden zone for remains containing powerful “combat imprints.” Each corpse he “anchors” lets him summon a phantom at the peak of its former strength within his domain. These phantoms wield their original owners' supernatural abilities and treasures, and possess their battle instincts, making them Lu Chen's most reliable fighting force. For example, anchoring the corpse of a great demon cultivator lets him summon a frenzied demonic phantom within his domain, while anchoring the corpse of an immortal sect's grand ancestor lets him recreate an ethereal immortal phantom. The deeper Lu Chen explores the Heavenly Burial Forbidden Zone, the more powerhouses he can anchor, and the more terrifying the forces he can summon within his domain become. In the end, he will become the “Lord of Heavenly Burial,” a one-man army of powerful figures from countless ages.
