Don't Ascend! The Path of Cultivation Is a Trap!

Paralyzed in bed and forced to watch his younger sister suffer humiliation, Lu Chen saw his dignity and his life crushed completely. An ancient book that came to him by chance, The Nine Nether Devouring Abyss Record, and a mysterious being calling itself the “Grand Void Immortal Venerable” became the only lifeline he had in his despair. He seized this dark opportunity, reshaped himself with Netherworld baleful energy, and swore to take a hundredfold revenge on every enemy! From then on, a different path of demonic cultivation unfolded beneath his feet. His Yin Fiend Finger could pierce metal and stone; his Ghost Shadow Step could take lives without a trace. After avenging wrongs and settling old scores, he did not sink into bloodshed. Instead, he used his power to enter the country's supernatural agency. Following the demonic path to protect others, he slew demons and vanquished evil, breaking through one realm after another. Drawing on his own experience, he helped lead a new era and became a role model admired by countless people. Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... He charged along the immortal path trodden by those before him, until he joined forces with several of the strongest people of the age to open the legendary gate to ascension, hoping to uncover the ultimate truth of the Great Dao. But what lay beyond the gate shattered everything he knew and believed. There was no immortal paradise, only hell! Mountains of immortal and divine corpses, a shattered crimson sky, and several ancient predecessors fighting for their lives against indescribable extraterrestrial evil gods! The pope, the Daoist master, and the monk who had accompanied him were no match for the evil gods. In an instant, they became food. At the moment between life and death, the surviving predecessors sacrificed themselves to send him back to the mortal world. Returning to his homeland, Lu Chen looked up at the sky still shrouded in the “dream of ascension” and cried out in anguish: “Do not ascend! The road to immortality... is a trap to feed the evil gods!”
