Mortal Bones Tread the Nine Skies

Ye Chen of the Ye family in Lingfeng City is widely known as a good-for-nothing. Born with blocked spiritual meridians, he can barely reach even the lowest level, the Qi Gathering Realm. He endures the cold disdain of his clan and the bullying of his peers. Then his fiancée shows up with their betrothal agreement and tears it to shreds in front of everyone, humiliating him to the utmost.

At death’s door, he accidentally awakens an ancestral bronze fragment with his blood. It turns out to be a natal divine artifact left behind by an ancient powerhouse. The fragment not only remakes his mortal bones, but also conceals a heaven-defying cultivation technique and endless secrets.

From that moment on, the good-for-nothing makes his comeback! He crushes geniuses in the Qi Gathering Realm, challenges elders with his sword in the Soul Constructing Realm, and shakes entire sects in the Qi Refining Realm. He claims treasures in perilous secret realms, comprehends the Dao in desperate straits, and faces prodigies head-on with his mortal body, carving a path through the brambles with the sword in his hand.

Everyone who once humiliated him is now beneath his feet. Those who covet his treasures all end up dead by his sword. From a speck of dust in Lingfeng City to a force stirring up the Nine Domains, Ye Chen defies heaven at every turn, vowing to use his mortal bones to ascend beyond the heavens and challenge the Heavenly Dao with his sword!
