In the final years of the Dayin dynasty, war rages across the land and the dead lie everywhere.
Lin Feng, a boy from Blackwind Stronghold, is the sole survivor of a massacre in his mountain village. In a stronghold ruled by the law of the jungle, he struggles to survive through quick wits and sheer ruthlessness, yet clings to a last shred of kindness.
The authorities lay siege to the stronghold, and the old chieftain dies a tragic death, leaving Lin Feng with the burden of caring for those entrusted to him on his deathbed. Fortunately, the down-and-out Mr. Qin guides him in cultivating the Hundred Meridians Qi-Nurturing Method. At the edge of despair, Lin Feng breaks through to the Qi Condensation Realm and fights his way to survival with an iron spear.
He gathers refugees, suppresses bandits, and seizes the county seat. With companions like Zhao Tiezhu and Liu Qingqing, he transforms a band of outlaws into the ruler of a domain. But the tide of chaos never stops: treacherous warlords, barbarian kings at the gates, and the old dynasty's fangs all come for him in turn.
Battle Qi takes shape, domains command respect, kings establish their realms, and emperors claim the throne! With an unyielding will, Lin Feng forges the Chaos Emperor Dragon Art. He pierces the fog of a chaotic age with his dragon-roaring spear, brings order to the world atop countless piles of bones, and at last becomes a founding emperor!
