Lin Feng, a gifted young man from a prominent family, was betrayed by his close friend and childhood sweetheart over a mysterious dragon-shaped jade pendant. His cultivation was crippled, and he became the laughingstock of his sect. In despair, he stained the pendant with his blood and accidentally awakened the supreme art, the Origin Devouring Art. He then devoured an assassin sent by his enemies and returned to the Qi Refining stage. He passed the sect examination and, despite his meager cultivation, made a stunning comeback by defeating the disciples who had mocked him, leaving everyone in shock. At last, his traitorous friend Ye Chen appeared in person to put him down. Lin Feng made a three-year pact, resolutely left the sect, and set out on a far greater journey.
