On the Canglan Continent, spiritual power reigns supreme. The strong tread upon the heavens, while the weak are mere ants.
Ling Jin, young master of the Ling family, was once a prodigy of Yan City. But when his family faced annihilation, he unexpectedly awakened the peerless cultivation art his mother had left behind, the Heaven-Burning Art. As a Spiritual Apprentice, he stood against Spiritual Masters and was reborn amid blood and fire.
He slays his enemies and shatters conspiracies, carving a path through the thorns with his blade, Ashen Annihilation, and lighting the way ahead with his Heaven-Burning spiritual flames. Hunted by Qingfeng Valley, confronted by the shadowy hand behind the Wang family, and caught up in clashes with young prodigies from a far wider world, he advances one step at a time against the odds. The boy who left Yan City will one day stir the entire continent with his Heaven-Burning might.
“If the heavens and earth will not accept me, then I will burn them both! If these rules bind me, then I will shatter them!”
