On the desolate wasteland, the boy Lin Jin is born clutching a bone casket. Sandstorms bury broken steles, and his life is worth less than a blade of grass.
Though he bears the bloodline of the Abyss of Darkness, he is hunted by men in black. With one arm severed, he flees alone along a path strewn with corpses.
He finds a blue flame in a ruined temple, awakens in a mass grave, and lays his foundation in blood-stained sand.
Mocked for his false spirit root, he enters a sect as a menial servant, enduring humiliation just to grow stronger.
He secretly learns cultivation techniques, forces his meridians to their limits, and climbs over the shoulders of a hundred rivals to ascend the Heavenly Gate.
A blood pool lies hidden within the trial, and the sect leader tries to silence him. He burns his own blood to break the formation, vowing to bring down this world that devours people!
