The Heavenly Dao uses all living beings as its monument, engraving its rules upon them.
Then I shall make a blade of my bones and carve my name into the world!
Lu Chen was born with a Heavenly Dao physique, but his clan betrayed him, stole his Dao bones, and left him crippled. At death’s door, he seized a rusted broken blade from an ancient forbidden land.
From that moment on, his path of cultivation ran counter to everyone else’s.
While others cultivated spiritual energy, he devoured “despair, decay, and extinction.”
While the Heavenly Dao bestowed spirit patterns, he carved “defiance, abyss, and self” into his bones.
When the supreme inscription rite revealed, through the broken blade’s reflection, the truth that it was meant to “reap all living beings”;
when forbidden names, buried for countless eons, rang out across the heavens once more at his awakening
Lu Chen raised his blade to the sky and laughed:
“Your heavenly laws are filled with plunder and reincarnation?”
“Fine. Today, I, Lu Chen, shall inscribe new laws for the Myriad Worlds and carve out my true self!”
