The Apocalypse Is Here? I Was Just About to Become an Immortal!

I created a female character specifically to attract bad reviews...

I started writing this in high school and finished it on and off during college. It was a writing exercise.

Thank you all for your support. I'm truly grateful.

After a thousand years of secluded cultivation atop Kunlun Peak, Lu Bafang is about to survive the ninth heavenly tribulation and become an immortal.

Yet at the very moment the heavenly lightning strikes, he senses the entire world let out a mournful cry. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapses, and the mortal realm becomes a living hell. His tribulation is strangely cut short.

Puzzled by his apparent “failed tribulation,” he descends the mountain, only to discover that the world beyond has been turned upside down. Civilization has collapsed, cities have become ruins, and humanity struggles to survive between “demonic husks” and “mutated behemoths,” clinging to life with awakened “supernatural abilities” and the remnants of “martial arts.”

And he, a cultivator from an age of peace and prosperity, a “half-step true immortal” who should have ascended, has become the only and most terrifying anomaly in this Dharma-ending age.

While survivors risk their lives for a piece of bread, he scatters immortal grain with a wave of his hand, yielding ten thousand jin per mu.

When the strongest ability user is hunted by an S-rank behemoth, he points a finger, and the beast turns to dust.

While the great factions fight tooth and nail to seize a ruined city, he has already built an immortal city suspended in the sky above the wasteland: “Kunlun Ruins.”

He has only one main quest: uncover the truth behind his failed tribulation and the arrival of the apocalypse, gather the scattered “Fragments of the Heavenly Dao” from across the world, reshape the laws, and restore the Heavenly Dao... and, along the way, establish an eternal order in this broken world.
