I Was Just Mining. How Did I Become Earth's Supreme Ruler?

[A veteran author of high-martial-arts fiction with ten years of experience, for an effortlessly smooth read]

To raise the exorbitant cost of surgery for his gravely ill mother, Chen Xing signs a contract that could cost him his life.

A mysterious corporation sends him to Qinglong Mountain on the southwestern frontier, where he becomes a high-risk miner.

He thinks it is just backbreaking work in exchange for a paycheck.

But he has no idea that deep in these mountains lies a sealed relic of an ancient martial civilization.

Within the mountain range's martial arts suppression field, even peerless masters, demons, and monsters lose all their fighting power and must rely on the most primitive strength of their bodies.

Chen Xing steadily digs up one chunk of ore after another, never realizing that the energy he absorbs from the minerals is transforming his body in astonishing ways.

Until the day he fulfills his contract, collects his wages, and walks out of the mountains...

The Demon-Suppressing Stones across the martial world of Huaxia all shatter at once!

A primordial aura powerful enough to overturn modern martial arts erupts from the dust-covered young man, sweeping across the land of China and the entire world.
