Chen Fan awakens, and the world changes hands.
The “Heaven’s Mandate Usurper” is no blessing, but a curse. With every person he kills, he can steal their talent, fortune, and lifespan and make them his own. He rises from a lowly Qi Condensation ant, forging a blood-soaked path forward. His core sea forms a golden core, and his sea of consciousness nurtures a primordial spirit. Wherever he goes, prodigies fall, and ancient patriarchs die in meditation, all becoming nourishment for him.
But usurpation knows no bounds, and the price comes quietly. Fragments of memory surge in to erode him, while the obsessions of the dead entangle his Dao heart. Chen Fan gradually uncovers the truth behind his fate: the cultivation world’s annihilation. The so-called “ascension” turns out to be a harvesting game played by higher dimensions.
When he points his sword at the Nine Heavens and the immortal sects tremble, will he become a puppet of the rules, or rewrite the Heavenly Dao?
“I usurp all things because all things can be usurped, including the Heavenly Dao itself!”
The day Chen Fan shatters the heavens, when usurpation becomes salvation, he finally realizes that he himself is the calamity.
