Cornered with no way out, he uses his own body as a vessel and devours until he becomes a demon.
Chen Xuan is a lowly servant whom his fellow disciples abandoned in a gutter to die. To survive and take revenge, he is forced to swallow filth and devour metal and stone, refining his body into a vessel. His pitch-black right arm, which must constantly devour to keep going, is both his greatest weapon and his deepest curse.
This path was destined to be lonely. Then he met Ling Qingjue, someone he should never have encountered. She is the embodiment of healing, the opposite of all his devouring and destruction. Her presence is like a glimmer of light, illuminating the depths of his darkness and making his frozen heart feel searing pain for the first time.
From then on, his path was no longer just about survival and destruction.
Would he fall completely into the abyss of devouring and become the mightiest monster?
Or, torn between humanity and power, would he carve out a blood-soaked path to survival in the endless darkness, for himself and those he holds dear?
This is the story of a lonely devourer searching for a way back to what it means to be human, amid despair.
The Dao is warped, but the heart still lives.
On the path of devouring heaven, who will walk beside him?
