[Three-Year Countdown + Ruthless Combat + Artifact Refining + Rebellious Disciple Who Defies His Master]
Zhou Yan transmigrates to the Burial Realm, only to have a Spirit-Devouring Curse planted in him as soon as he opens his eyes. Within three years, the sect master will extract his soul and forge it into an artifact spirit. The Chaos Mirror predicts the future, and he watches himself get tossed into a furnace, his body consumed by flames.
"You want to forge me? Just see how filial I can be, and you'll be done for."
Zhou Yan sneers and turns around to cultivate the Spirit-Devouring Transformation Foundation Art, borrowing others' foundations to forge the strongest Dao Embryo. He tramples trash in the outer sect, seizes forbidden arts on the black market, crushes everyone at the artifact-refining tournament, and forcefully becomes a disciple of an evil master.
Everyone says he's the sect master's personal disciple, a genius blessed by heaven. Only Zhou Yan knows the truth: he's a hunter lying in wait in the tiger's den.
When the evil master finally bares his fangs, Zhou Yan overturns the furnace and fights his way upward.
"Master, didn't you want to forge me into an artifact?" "Today, I'll be the one to forge you into a sword!"
He slays the evil master, claims the secrets, protects his loved ones, and breaks through the world barrier. In this life, he'd rather be a wicked, unforgivable traitor than a resource for others to butcher at will!
