At the edge of despair, he awakened the Profound Ash Dao. Relying on neither spiritual energy nor rules, he embarked on the path of cultivation with a defiant spirit.

He wields a rusted sword, guards his Dao heart, slays traitors, unravels mysteries, subdues vengeful spirits, and wages war on the Heavenly Dao!
In this life, he will overturn his destiny, repay blood debts with blood, and carve out a defiant path to immortality that no one else dares take!
