The Three Realms are in ruin, the Immortal Dao has collapsed, countless races stand in opposition, and sects carve up the land. Spiritual energy is scarce and resources are exhausted. Cultivators take murder, plunder, the consumption of vital essence, and the refinement of souls as shortcuts to advancement. Survival of the fittest is the only law. There is no benevolence or morality; only strength and ruthlessness can secure one's place.
Protagonist: Lin Yan, born the lowest of the outer-sect servants. His parents were tortured and murdered by sect cultivators. He learned to endure from a young age, with a ruthless nature, no bottom line, and no mercy. He lives by the creed, “Pull up the roots to eliminate the threat; stop killing with killing.” After accidentally obtaining the ancient supreme treasure, the Bloodbone Pearl, he proves his Dao through slaughter and treads upon a mountain of bones to become an immortal.
Core golden finger: The Bloodbone Pearl. It devours cultivators' vital essence, blood and bone marrow, and souls, converting them into cultivation gained through slaughter. It tempers the Bloodbone Dao Body and unlocks divine slaughter techniques. The more he kills, the stronger he becomes, until he is deathless and indestructible.
