Heavenly Venerable of Ashes

I was sentenced to death by two worlds.

The steel jungle of the modern city took everything from me and ground me into dust. A leap into the void was both an ending and a beginning.

When I awoke, I was in the cultivation world's most terrifying forbidden ground, the Land of Silent Destruction. Spiritual energy was poison to me, my meridians were on the verge of collapse, and my enemies' footsteps echoed in my ears.

From the start, everything was falling apart!

But this time, I would no longer accept my fate. If spiritual energy rejected me, I would draw baleful energy into my body! If the Heavenly Dao was unjust, I would create my own cultivation method! With an indomitable will and the wisdom of another world, I turned this destructive energy into fuel and kindled a flame in the ashes that would never go out.

From a mine slave in the Land of Silent Destruction to the Lord of a Glimmer; from a heretic in the sect to the enemy of all worlds. My enemies saw me as a walking calamity and wanted nothing more than to destroy me.

They didn't understand.

Every hardship I endured became a deep mark on my Dao Foundation. The destruction they feared was the prelude to my rebirth.

When I return to the summit of the Nine Heavens, bearing baleful flames that can burn the world, the whole world will understand: even embers can burn forever!
