With the spiritual qi revival and the rise of high martial arts, this is an era of survival of the fittest, where the strong devour the weak. Supernatural abilities, bloodlines, and cultivation can all be stolen, but the price is becoming a monster that knows only how to consume.
Lu Chen, a poor student struggling to pay his younger sister's medical bills, is shoved into an abyss of corruption by a rich heir. On the brink of death, his ancestral pendant awakens, and he becomes the most dangerous devourer in the world.
Others go mad and mutate when they devour, but he has the [Seed of Primordial Origin], which purifies all corruption. Stone skin, flames, thunder... Every kind of supernatural ability is his to wield.
But his younger sister has caught the attention of a multinational financial conglomerate, which wants to use her as a living vessel. The truth behind his parents' disappearance, warnings from an ancient civilization, and the gaze of extraterrestrial gods all converge.
As the entire world devours itself in a frenzy, Lu Chen chooses a completely different path.
"I don't steal or seize. I take only what is mine to take."
"But if anyone lays a hand on my sister..."
"I'll devour your soul until not a trace remains."
This is a story about protection and principles, about finding one's own path in the Age of Devouring.
