The heavenly bone that was ripped from him is precisely the inverse scale Heaven fears most.
Lin Feng was a once-in-a-century prodigy of the Qingyun Sect. But just as he reached the height of the sect tournament, his close friend tore out his bone and stole his meridians. His childhood sweetheart and fiancée broke off their engagement in front of everyone. His cultivation was destroyed, he suffered endless humiliation, and he plunged into an abyss from which there was no return. The world declared that the true dragon was dead, and that a mortal-born man would be an ant for the rest of his life.
Yet deep within that forgotten forbidden land, with the blood of his broken body, he awakened a forbidden legacy that even the Heavenly Dao would not allow to be recorded: the Heaven-Defying Art. From then on, he walks a thorny path, trading his lifespan, memories, and even emotions to the laws of heaven and earth in exchange for power.
The cultivation world is ruled by the law of the jungle? Then I will build the strongest sect with this mortal body!
From taking in the first abandoned rogue cultivator to uniting the oppressed demon clans, the Heaven-Defying Pavilion he founded spreads like wildfire, stirring the world into a storm. A formation spirit girl with divine mastery of alchemy, a fiercely loyal stone-bodied warrior, a mysterious and aloof orphan of the demon clan… One by one, companions rejected by fate gather into a flame that tears through the darkness.
Ancient secrets come to light. Is the so-called ascension actually a cruel harvest that has continued for a thousand years?
When Lin Feng finally reaches the edge of the world's truth, he discovers that the bone-stealing feud of the past was merely a pawn in the Upper Realm's “Lord of Fate” campaign to purge those who defied destiny. His former enemies have become hounds of the Heavenly Dao, while the sacred lands that stand above all are nothing but cages where all living beings are raised like livestock.
Facing the combined suppression of the vast Heavenly Dao and the gods and Buddhas of the myriad heavens, Lin Feng stands proudly atop his sect, with tens of thousands of fellow disciples ready to follow him to the death.
He snaps the divine decree that symbolizes fate, his voice resounding across the universe:
“They say fate cannot be defied”
