The Old Ones at the Abyss: Mad Martial Arts Descend

From childhood, Ye Linyuan was tormented by fragmented memories of a broken past life. His strange words and constant muttering led everyone to regard him as hopelessly insane, and he spent years confined to a psychiatric hospital.

On the eve of the college entrance exam, he returned to school and unexpectedly bound himself to a System, awakening Source Star’s one and only forbidden talent: [The Old Ones].

The instant his status panel lit up, a strange power, both unfamiliar and familiar, swept through his body. With an unspeakable, hidden force, he rebuilt the foundations of his martial arts. The stronger his cultivation grew, the greater his power became, but the more his sanity was devoured. Every breakthrough brought him one step closer to madness and the abyss.

As his cultivation rose, the truth Source Star had concealed for countless ages gradually came to light: the conflicts between humanity and the other races, the ranks of martial cultivation, the legends of prodigies passed down through the ages... All were carefully woven lies.

This world, which seemed to flourish through martial arts, was no paradise for cultivators. It was a prison where ancient beings played their game. The so-called golden age of high martial arts was merely a façade, concealing the darkness and the devouring beneath.

To uncover the truth of his own origins and the ultimate nature of the world, Ye Linyuan set out alone on this forbidden path. He is an anomaly feared by the greatest prodigies, a being dreaded by all races. Wherever his gaze falls, heaven and earth change; wherever his presence reaches, souls fall silent.

The established martial order of Source Star collapses with a roar because of him. The world’s accepted laws of cultivation twist and warp before his eyes.

He proves himself invincible through the power of the Old Ones and ascends to the pinnacle in a forbidden body. But at the end of the road, does he await the supreme coronation that will place everything in his hands, or the beginning of an endless descent into madness? No one can answer. Above Source Star, the mystery of the uncanny intertwined with high martial arts quietly spreads through the undercurrents.
