As spiritual qi revives on Earth, the great age of cultivation begins anew, but all the resources have already been divided up.
Lu Zhao transmigrates into this world with no money to his name, but with a mind as cool as ice.
Known as the "Living King of Hell" at the mass grave, he makes his start by trafficking in corpses.
By chance, he obtains the Nine Tribulations Longevity Scripture and awakens the Heaven-Stealing Lock, which can devour other people's cultivation to prolong his life.
From then on, he walks the edge of darkness:
When the Tianjian Pavilion is wiped out, he steals its core sword pill;
when the Soul-Locking Sect runs amok, he turns its sect-guarding ghost artifact against them;
when he faces the Chosen One, he gives a cold laugh. He will not only seize their opportunities, but steal their fortune too!
This is a mortal's high-stakes gamble against the gods.
When Lu Zhao discovers that immortality is nothing but a curse left behind by the Dao Ancestor before his fall, he chooses to use himself as bait, lay plans across the entire cultivation world, and ultimately tear apart the Heavenly Dao, stealing the heavens and replacing the sun!
