Lin Chen, a handyman disciple of the Qingyun Sect, was born with a body "abandoned by heaven", with thin spiritual energy and an old scar on his right eye. He was regarded as the most worthless low-level labor force.
The sect competition was approaching, but he was unexpectedly included in the "sign for death" list, and was secretly selected as a sacrifice - on the day of the competition, his soul would be extracted and refined into the Demon Suppressing Sword in the form of "accidental death" to strengthen the ancient seal under the main peak.
In desperate situation, he picked up a rusty broken sword in the forbidden sword tomb.
The ancient sword spirit "Ling Shuang" who was sleeping in the broken sword woke up and made a deal with him with a god-killing sword art that "devours obsessions and nourishes the sword with blood":
Within forty-nine days, if he cannot cultivate to the designated level, his soul will be devoured by the sword spirit.
In order to survive, Lin Chen had to wander among the corpses and remnant soldiers, using his own emotions and other people's obsessions as bait to swallow residual thoughts such as "hate", "madness", "rage" and "despair". His cultivation level skyrocketed, but his body became increasingly alienated. His right eye was stained with blood, strange sword-shaped lines appeared on his chest, and his mind was always on the verge of falling into a demon.
