Li Wuyou, once a disciple of the righteous path, was cast out of his sect after his inner demons turned against him. Reduced to the lowest-ranking servant in a demonic sect, he spent his days clearing away corpses and feeding poisonous Gu, enduring endless abuse. Then, one night at a mass grave, he swung his blade and severed the obsession within himself, unexpectedly awakening a forbidden talent: [The Dao-Heart That Slays the Self]. It could cut away emotions, lifespan, karma, even fate itself! From then on, he rose against the heavens from the ranks of a mere servant. He slew fellow disciples to seize cultivation arts, cut down elders to steal secret texts, and defeated holy heirs to make his name. The demonic sect saw him as a mad dog, the righteous path called him a harbinger of disaster, and the Myriad Worlds all wanted him dead. His only response was a cold remark: “If the Dao demands that I become a demon, then I’ll cut down the Dao!” From the blood-soaked depths to the summit of the worlds, he proved that ruthlessness could give rise to love, and defied the heavenly Dao by slaying himself. At the end of chaos, he raised his blade one last time, not to conquer the heavens, but to sever every shackle binding the “self” and attain true transcendence.
