Everyone says Lu Bu was a turncoat who served three masters, fickle and faithless, a disgrace to the martial arts world.
That is, until the day martial souls awaken on the Tianwu Continent. Lin Chen awakens the only SSS-rank inheritance of the Flying General Lu Bu in a thousand years, yet the whole city mocks it as a worthless inheritance. His clan ostracizes him, his nemesis frames him, and everyone believes he will fade into obscurity.
But they do not know the truth behind the calamity that befell the generals a thousand years ago. The so-called turncoat who served three masters was a lone hero who infiltrated the secret camp and used himself as bait. His death at White Gate Tower was a ruse to escape. And the Heavenly Sealing Formation at Tong Pass was an unprecedented feat: he used his own soul as the catalyst to seal the world-destroying Demon God Chi You.
With the complete inheritance awakened, Lin Chen uses the Sky-Piercing Halberd to shatter the world's prejudice and tramples the darkness with his unrivaled will to fight.
He makes his name in Qingyang City, clears out bandits on the northern frontier, finds kindred spirits at Tianwu Academy, seizes an inheritance at the southern altar, breaks the demonic formation in a battle at Tong Pass, and rallies heroes in the western lands.
He clears Lu Bu's name after a thousand years of injustice, gathers the SSS-rank inheritances of legendary Chinese generals such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Bai Qi, and Han Xin, and forms the strongest Martial God army in history.
Alongside Su Muyue, who bears the mission of protecting the light, he dismantles the layers of schemes laid by the Dark Spirit Pavilion and confronts the ancient Demon God Chi You, newly freed from his seal.
When darkness blankets the continent and the generals' inheritances all fade away, only the Sky-Piercing Halberd in his hand remains gleaming and sharp.
“I am Lin Chen, heir to Lu Bu! Those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish! So what if the Demon God descends? One swing of my halberd can split the heavens, destroy demons, and defend these ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains!”
