This is a world where martial arts can reach the divine, and talismans can tear apart the vault of heaven.
Young Chen Shuo had his Dao foundation destroyed and became a cripple. Yet, in his darkest hour, he glimpsed the greatest secret of this world:
The "Origin Ruins," revered by all as a place of divinity, were actually the tomb of an ancient Celestial Venerable. The "Origin Force" that cultivators pursued so desperately was nothing more than the remnants of souls leaking from divine corpses.
The path to immortality, it turned out, was a deception: a struggle over scraps with the dead of eons past.
As the powerful built their order atop piles of corpses, and the end of the path of cultivation meant becoming fresh earth for a tomb...
Chen Shuo took a broken talisman in hand and strode into this endless graveyard.
"You cultivate immortality. I cultivate the Ruins."
"One day, I will tear down this divine tomb and build a new heaven for all under it!"
