Synopsis

Ling Chen, the supreme prodigy of the cultivation world, was once the reincarnation of an ancient Heavenly Emperor. In his previous life, he was betrayed and ambushed by treacherous foes in the Immortal Realm. They seized his throne as Heavenly Emperor and destroyed the Heavenly Court, sending his soul back to Earth. One day, he awakens the remnant soul of the ancient Heavenly Emperor and inherits its complete legacy. Armed with supreme treasures such as the Chaos Dao Orb, he is reborn in the mortal realm with the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, beginning a journey of cultivation and revenge that will span the myriad heavens.

In the mortal realm, he cuts down Shadow Pavilion’s evil cultivators, breaks through the siege laid by the sects, and uses an opportunity in the Spirit Void Secret Realm to reach the Golden Core stage. He gathers allies and lays his plans in secret, rising from an unknown nobody to become the mortal realm’s supreme ruler and laying a solid foundation for his revenge. Beyond the mortal realm, he ventures into the Spirit Realm, steps into the Immortal Realm, and battles in the Demon Realm. He encounters prodigies from across the heavens, recruits capable aides from every quarter, unravels ancient secrets, and exposes the shocking conspiracy behind the Heavenly Court’s destruction. Step by step, he restores the Heavenly Emperor’s legacy and gathers forces from across the heavens, all so he can return to the Immortal Realm and exact the most merciless revenge on the treacherous enemies who betrayed him.

Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Supreme… He breaks through in battle and strengthens his resolve through the Dao. After enduring countless life-and-death ordeals, he subdues demonic beasts from across the heavens, wields supreme divine weapons, and crushes the schemes and ambitions of traitors from every faction. Along the way to revenge, he reunites the Heavenly Court’s former forces and restores the Heavenly Emperor’s majesty. The upheavals of the mortal realm, conflicts in the Spirit Realm, power struggles in the Immortal Realm, and cataclysms in the Demon Realm are all stepping stones on his path to the summit and to revenge. One day, Ling Chen will shatter the heavens, return to the Immortal Realm to kill his enemies with his own hands, and reclaim the authority of the Heavenly Emperor. From a cultivator rebuilding his strength on Earth, he will transform into the supreme ruler who commands all worlds and protects the myriad heavens!
