Title: Ashen Path: From Skeleton Soldier to Godslayer

Synopsis:

At the front lines of the "Bloodstained Wall," a place as dark as night and like a gigantic mill of flesh and blood, the fate of Jiang Buqi, a cannon-fodder soldier, is like that of a gray rat struggling in the camp's sewers: wretched and fleeting. Every day, he fights hunger and filth, barely staying alive on "bloodstained crystals" containing deadly contamination and a faint trace of energy. Companions mutating and rotting by his side, turning into bloodthirsty monsters, is an everyday sight.

A horrifying accident occurs: he tears open the chest of a mutated comrade with his bare hands and takes its lethal energy core, becoming tainted by the blood of an alien species. This desperate act ignites an ancient fire sleeping deep within his body. The "Spirit Flame of Annihilation," which burns all things to ash and purges every evil, awakens.

Armed with this double-edged sword that burns away filth and grows stronger by devouring demonic energy, Jiang Buqi fights his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, finally reaching Qingyuan City, hailed as humanity's last hope. Hanging from its towering walls are no holy weapons bestowed by the gods, but strange weapons forged from billions of evil demons' bones and even more appalling "materials": the "Godspawn." Beneath the city's glorious facade lies a shocking conspiracy: divine smiths control the will of the star remains in the Outer Heavens, raise humanity as kindling, and use demons as food.

"Welcome to the Outer Heavens, where false gods and demons dance together..." A cold whisper reveals the cruel truth.

From a lowly cannon-fodder skeleton soldier to an Ashen Walker who fights alone to slay his way into the heavens.

With flames that can burn the sky in his hands, Jiang Buqi's journey leads straight toward those enthroned above the clouds, who have stolen the power of the star remains
