Ye Han, a poor young man born with a sword bone, is suppressed by the laws of Heaven. The Three Realms are in turmoil, and the Starfall Calamity approaches. In the cultivation world, the Sword Dao reigns supreme.
His village is destroyed and his family killed. Armed with a woodcutter’s knife, he fights the killers who slaughtered his village, and at the brink of death is saved by the mysterious healer Su Jiu'er.
The two enter the Xuanjian Sect together. He uses the sword to break all arts; she masters divine medicine through poison. They cut down the Shadow Pavilion, resist the Demon Sect, brave secret realms, and challenge the heavens.
One sword cleaves the firmament, all to protect the woman by his side. The healer walks beside him toward immortality, and together they pursue the Great Dao to its very end.
