During the three hundred years of martial arts prosperity in the Apocalypse Dynasty, the cultivation system of Tongmai, Ningshen, and the ninth level of the three realms of heaven and man maintained the order of the dynasty. When Lu Chen, a clerk at the lowest level of Xuanyi Guard, accidentally put together seven mysterious blood jade pieces, his life was completely changed. The martial arts memories of seven dead people who were at least at the concentration level were injected into him, causing his cultivation level to skyrocket overnight, but also buried twenty-eight strands of Qi in his body that were tearing apart each other.
As the investigation deepens, Lu Chen discovers that there is a shocking secret hidden behind every piece of blood jade: they hunt martial arts geniuses according to the directions of the twenty-eight constellations, just to select the perfect body that can withstand the ancient power. From Tongmai to Heavenly Being, from chess piece to chess player, Lu Chen must absorb martial arts memories to improve his strength while resisting the increasingly powerful inner demons.
In this chess game that spans three hundred years, various forces have appeared one after another: Cao Wujiu, who controls the Ancha Division, Su Banxia, the saint of the Red Sky Palace, Ji Wuya, the commander of the Xuanyi Guards... Everyone wants to use Lu Chen to achieve their own goals. When the twenty-eight pieces of blood jade are finally put together and the giant bronze door opens, Lu Chen will face the ultimate choice: to become the sharpest sword of the Apocalypse Dynasty, or the first person to cut off this decadent martial arts system?
