Lin Feng is the most useless errand disciple in the Tianxuan Sect. With a pseudo-spiritual root, he has spent ten years cultivating and is still only at the second level of Qi Refining. Everyone can bully him.
Until one day, a drunken old lush tosses him a battered book: The Art of Chaos.
That’s when he learns he doesn’t have a useless spiritual root at all. He has a Spirit-Devouring Body, a rarity unseen in ten thousand years. His cultivation speed is only thirty percent of an ordinary person’s, but he can devour anything: spiritual energy, demon blood, heavenly tribulations… even other people’s cultivation.
He breaks through in a single night and establishes his strength with one punch. He takes first place in the outer sect selection and wins the inner sect tournament. Just as he thinks his fate has turned around, he discovers he was chosen long ago as the ninth sacrifice for the Demon-Sealing Formation.
The icy beauty Su Qingcheng bears the bloodline of the Netherworld Phoenix. In her previous life, she died taking a sword for him; in this life, she protects him with her own life. Night Wuhen, young lord of the demonic path, bears a demonic curse. Neither wholly friend nor foe, he stakes everything on Lin Feng’s victory.
But the true enemy is Xuantian Patriarch, the foremost figure of the righteous path: his master, and the Immortal Emperor’s incarnation in the mortal world.
Three months, from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. Three years, from mortal to Golden Core.
At the Ascension Platform, is this the end of his sacrifice, or the beginning of his comeback?
“The heavens reward hard work? That’s true for you people. The heavens owe me.”
