A Mortal Picks Up a Pagoda, Defies Fate and Slays Immortals
Han Li, a young man from a fishing village, loses his family in the “Spirit Tide,” a disaster that devours everything. All he is left with is half of a broken bronze pagoda. The pagoda's spirit tells him it is a fragment of the ancient Myriad Forms and Cosmic Pagoda, capable of containing a world within a mustard seed and giving rise to chaos. It is also the calamity written into his fate.
Burdened with the Chaos Spirit-Evolution Art, a technique no one has been able to cultivate for ten thousand years, Han Li enters the cultivation world with the lowest-grade, mixed five-element spiritual root. From desperate hunts at the Demon-Slaying Pavilion to the struggles of rogue cultivators in Sky Sword City, from deadly contests in secret realms to undercurrents of intrigue within the sect, he walks on thin ice, every step poised on the brink of life and death.
But the world is far darker than he imagined.
The Spirit Tide is no natural disaster, but a man-made calamity. Ascending to the Immortal Realm is no liberation, but a fall into a carefully woven cage. The ancient Dao Ancestors all died in battle, and today's Heavenly Court is nothing but a “farm” disguised by extraterrestrial demons.
When Han Li discovers that his broken pagoda is the final spark of the ancient “Kindling Plan,” when the Blood Moon Organization's shadow looms over the Three Realms, and when his dear friends die and the women he loves wither away, he finally understands:
There is no need to cultivate immortality.
But the heavens must be defied.
Where is the Great Dao? In the dust beneath your feet.
Where does the road to immortality lead? Through blood and fire.
Dust Abyss Immortal Road, a blood-and-fire epic about a mortal shaking the Three Realms.
