Slaying the Immortal Emperor: I Set Out to Revive My Childhood Friend

Su Zhan’s soul transmigrates to another world, where he rises from a battlefield scout to forge a name for himself as the “God of Slaughter,” all thanks to the System that makes him stronger with every enemy he kills. His world has only two guiding lights: first, his childhood friend Su Wange, who is like an older sister and a mother to him, bringing warmth to his years; and second, the bloodied blade in his hand, which cuts down his enemies and protects the people before him.

His creed is ruthless: “If you don’t pull up the roots, they’ll grow back when spring comes.” Yet the karmic flames born from his slaughter are quietly cleansed by Wange, whose body holds the Pure-Soul Immortal Lotus. She is the only way home at the end of his path of killing.

But when he acquires a supreme treasure connected to the secret of the Immortal Emperor, it draws the covetous attention of the Immortal Realm’s supreme powers, who move to surround and kill him. At the brink of despair, the person he most wants to protect burns away her divine soul for his sake and dies, leaving only one final message ringing in his ears: “Become the Immortal Emperor, and come for me…”

Wange’s death transforms Su Zhan’s path of slaughter completely. His sword no longer rings only for survival. Now it roars for revenge and resurrection!

From the mortal world to the Immortal Realm, he stands alone, carving his way through the ages.

He destroys sects and topples immortal dynasties, paving his path to the throne with the blood of his enemies.

The world fears his ruthless, cold-blooded nature and calls him the “Heavenslaughter Immortal Emperor.”

But no one knows that every act of slaughter in his life has been for the sake of keeping one tender promise.

When Su Zhan finally steps over the corpse of the Immortal Emperor and ascends to the peak of the universe, he faces the soul of his beloved, which can only be restored by reversing yin and yang. Only then does he understand that the end of this path of slaughter was always the protection he had sought from the very beginning.
