The Heavenly Dao is unjust. Then I’ll devour the heavens!
At sixteen, Lin Yuan, born with a useless spiritual root, suffered one humiliation after another at the family tournament. His mother’s keepsake was destroyed, and he was thrown into a desolate forbidden ground. At the depths of despair, his blood unexpectedly awakened a dark gold bead sealed away for nine thousand years, turning his fate upside down forever.
Sealed within the bead was the remnant soul of Liyue, an ancient defier of heaven: a peerless female cultivator who had once opposed the Heavenly Dao before being suppressed.
“A useless Five Elements spiritual root? Perfect.” Liyue’s voice was cold and crazed. “The Heavenly Dao has rejected you, so I’ll teach you the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Art. Devour spiritual energy, magical treasures, heavenly tribulations… One day, you’ll devour the Heavenly Dao itself!”
From then on, Lin Yuan embarked on an unprecedented path of defying heaven!
At the sect tournament, he defeated one prodigy after another despite his useless spiritual root, stunning Qingyun.
In the Netherworld Secret Realm, he devoured the blood essence of an ancient ferocious beast and forged a Chaos Dao Foundation.
During the great battle between sects, he laid a Spirit-Devouring Formation and single-handedly turned the tide.
But the path of defying heaven was strewn with thorns.
A close friend grew jealous and resentful, secretly joining forces with powers from the Upper Realm to seize his fortune.
The Heavenly Dao unleashed the “Seven Calamities World-Destroying Thunder,” vowing to erase all who dared defy it.
The strongest organization in the Three Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Punishment Hall, mobilized its full forces and laid a vast, inescapable net.
Deeper truths slowly came to light.
What secret lay behind Liyue’s battle against heaven nine thousand years ago?
Why was the Heavenly Dao itself so wary of the Chaos Heaven Pearl?
Was the so-called “ascension” truly liberation, or just another kind of cage?
