From the Start, I Break Off My Engagement and Forge a Spirit Armor to Shatter the Heavens

At fifteen, Lu Yuan went from being the Lu family's once-in-a-century genius in spiritual armor to a good-for-nothing with a shattered spirit vein.

Three years of bitter cultivation brought no progress. His entire clan mocked him and outsiders looked down on him. Only Su Lingxi, who lived with the Lu family, stayed by his side. As if that weren't humiliating enough, his childhood sweetheart and betrothed, Lin Wanqing, a genius of the Qingyun Spiritual Armor Sect, showed up with the sect's elders to break off their engagement. She threw down the betrothal contract in front of everyone and treated him like dirt.

He tore up the contract in a fury and swore, “Three years from now, we'll fight at the Spiritual Armor Arena in Qingyang City! If I lose, the engagement will never be brought up again. If I win, you'll apologize in public!”

At the edge of despair, the Starcore Jade Pendant, his mother's keepsake that he always wore, suddenly awakened. Within it lay the remnant soul of the Saint of Ink, a divine armor smith who had once shaken the heavens! Betrayed by his own disciple, the Saint of Ink took Lu Yuan as his sole successor, taught him the Star Origin Art, which could devour star cores and evolve without limit, and passed on divine armor-forging techniques lost to the world!

From then on, Lu Yuan rose against all odds!

Others spent ten years cultivating just to break through a single realm. He devoured star cores and advanced by leaps and bounds. Others spent their entire fortunes trying to obtain top-grade spiritual armor. He forged it with a casual wave of his hand and made a name for himself throughout the world.

In the Blackwind Mountains, he rescued Luo Qinghan, Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, who was badly injured and had her power sealed. At the Snakefolk's sacred grounds, he claimed his first star core and soul-bonded with Mo Lin, a cold and alluring queen. At Tianxing Academy, he founded the Star Abyss Pavilion and subdued every genius in the school. At the Armor-Forge Tournament, he crushed his rivals and reached the pinnacle of armor forging in Great Xia!

When the three-year challenge arrived, he wore the Mystic-tier spiritual armor he had forged himself. Under the gaze of the crowd, he crushed the once-unattainable fiancée of his past and fulfilled his promise, making his name known across the world!

But what followed was Han Li, the treacherous scoundrel who had betrayed his master; the evil organization Spirit Devourers, which plundered spirit veins; and, more terrifying still, a world-ending crisis sweeping across the vast world of spiritual armor...
