Cheating My Way Through the Immortal Path: I Defy Fate with the System

Everyone laughed that the Lin family of Qingyang City had produced a good-for-nothing young master, Lin Chen.

With his spiritual root shattered and his cultivation stuck for three years, he was publicly dumped by his fiancee and became the laughingstock of the entire Eastern Domain.

But no one knew that, at the end of his rope, he had activated the Supreme Chaos System and awakened the one and only Chaos Spiritual Root of all time, turning his fate upside down in a single day!

Others painstakingly cultivated for ten years just to barely reach Foundation Establishment. He could break through by refining baleful, murky energy, and rise straight through the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms.

The System that had accompanied him all along concealed the ultimate truth behind the fall of the ancient guardians of the realm.

The destruction of the four guardian clans a thousand years ago had never been an accident.

And beneath the World Gate seal he had risked his life to strengthen lay something capable of overturning the entire Tianyuan Continent
