A genius's path should be a straight, broad road paved with flowers and applause, with the finest resources, cultivation arts, and masters. There should be no need to struggle at the edge of life and death. But if a genius chooses the road leading to the truth, only two paths await at the end: kneel and become a dog, or stand tall and have your legs cut off. The price of uncovering the world's truth is an ending ten thousand times crueler than anyone could imagine: death!
Ordinary people, meanwhile, can only roll in the mud and grope through the darkness.
Lin Xuanyu is one such ordinary person, raised in a ruined garden. He is no genius, no chosen one, and certainly no destined savior. Yet his simple refusal to be trampled underfoot is more precious than any Chaotic Dao Constitution.
On the Tianxuan Continent, sects crowd the mortal realm, where the strong prey on the weak. Caught between family rivalries and sect oppression, everyone fights for survival. Lin Xuanyu, the eighteen-year-old third young master of the Lin family, was born with severed meridians and a blocked dantian, and is mocked as a once-in-ten-thousand-years waste. His father died a cruel death, his mother is gravely ill, and he endures one humiliation after another, barely clinging to life in the mud and darkness.
At the brink of despair, the Chaotic Origin Cauldron left behind by his father suddenly awakens! It can contain myriad worlds and shatter the cosmos. It not only repairs his severed meridians but also guides him in cultivating the Chaos Devouring Dao Art, opening a path to defy fate and reshape his destiny. From then on, the good-for-nothing reveals his brilliance and takes the immortal path with an ordinary body: he stuns everyone at the family tournament and defeats his enemies to avenge past wrongs; sweeps all before him in the struggle for the throne and claims a secret realm as the foundation of his rise to Emperor; reigns supreme in the mortal realm, survives tribulation, and ascends straight to the Ninth Heaven!
He lays down an ironclad code: if someone shows me an inch of respect, I will return a foot; if someone harms me even slightly, I will wipe out their entire family! He will never betray his brothers, never harm the innocent, and never bow to his enemies. He vows to protect them with his life
