Ling Chen, an outer disciple of the Qinglan Sect, was originally a lonely young man, but because of the secret of possessing the Chaos Pearl, he became a thorn in the side of the sect's Supreme Elder Xu Gang and the henchman of the Punishment Hall, Zhao Wuji. He was also coveted and hunted by Yan Jin and Jin Lie, the prodigies of the Burning Flame Valley and Jinyang Palace. The sect abandoned him like a pair of worn-out shoes. In the past, his fellow sects were fighting each other with swords. Only Ye Qingmei, the concubine of the Ye family in Yaowang City, used business as a blade to secretly pave a way out for him in the gaps between the family and became the only warmth left in his desperate situation.
In a desperate situation, Ling Chen accidentally fell into the Black Swamp, but he awakened the Chaos Sword Body in the ancient cultivator's tomb, and obtained the ancient inheritance "Chaos Swallowing Heaven Technique" - this skill can swallow the spiritual power of the five elements to strengthen himself. With the "Nine Strikes of Sky Splitting" and "Flowing Cloud Phantom Step" he realized, it can cut stars and turn into afterimages, and the sword can shatter the void. And the Chaos Bead he carried with him contained even more secrets. Not only could he hide his aura, but when he was about to die, he awakened the fragments of the ancient "Ten Thousand Dao Sword Pictures" and revealed the secrets of the sky, allowing him to pry into the supreme sword intention of "pursuing cause and effect" and "the ups and downs of all worlds with one thought."
After escaping from the swamp, Ling Chen started a counterattack of "one man and one sword against the sky": in the secret realm of Xuanwu Valley, he hid in the remaining formation, seized the five elements of spiritual objects, and counterattacked the besieged top foundation-building geniuses; to protect Ye Qingmei, he pointed his sword at the Yaowang City family, breaking the "bloodline determinism" with the ultimate sword power that can defeat all methods with one sword, shocking all forces. As his cultivation progressed, he gradually discovered that the pursuit of the Nine Sects was just the tip of the iceberg - outside the Qingli territory, the aliens had already laid out a conspiracy, and the ancient grudges and the world-level calamity of the sky were quietly approaching.
