“This child bears the Heaven-Defying Wasteful Meridians, the enemy of all cultivation arts. He must be executed!”
A decree from the immortals, a warrant for his death. Lin Chen, an ordinary village boy, possessed the unprecedented “Heaven-Defying Wasteful Meridians.” In an instant, he went from an aspiring immortal to a “harbinger of disaster” hunted by the entire cultivation world.
His very existence was a sin. Unable to absorb spiritual energy, he instinctively devoured all spiritual vitality around him. Wherever he went, spirit herbs withered and spiritual ley lines ran dry.
On the run, he slew his pursuers. They crumbled into dry bones, while he gained their power. When he touched an ancient stele, its inscriptions vanished, yet a breath of deathly stillness filled him with renewed life. He suddenly understood: this was no dead end that made cultivation impossible, but a “Path of Spirit Devouring” rejected by the Heavenly Dao!
Devour the vital essence of living beings and seize the spiritual resonance of lifeless things. Use all creation as sustenance and forge an unrivaled demonic body! But power came at a price: countless chaotic memories and mad wills. One wrong step, and he would be doomed for eternity.
When the flying swords of the Qingxuan Sect once more hovered above him, and the entire cultivation world saw him as a walking calamity, Lin Chen stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, gazing coldly at the immortals and gods across the heavens.
“You see me as a blight and would be rid of me at any cost.”
“Then I shall devour the sun, moon, and stars, and consume the Myriad Worlds…”
“Let us see in the end whether the Heavenly Dao you represent will erase me, or whether I… will become the new Heavenly Dao!”
