Chronicles of the Void Realm

In the year 9,700 of the Great Wilderness calendar, the Gate of the Desolate Ruins opens ahead of schedule.

Lu Chen, a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was born with nine-aperture sword bones and mastered the rudiments of sword intent at seventeen. He thought he was born to stand at the pinnacle, until he met Jiang Liu, a rogue cultivator who used a fishing rod as a weapon, at the Prodigy Tournament.

“Cultivation levels are just for reference. Don’t take them too seriously.”

Those words shattered everything Lu Chen thought he knew about cultivation.

Geniuses from the five great holy lands gather in one place: Jiang Xuemian, with her Extreme Frost Physique; Gu Changsheng, with his Yama Dao Body; Wuse, the Buddhist disciple of the Sarira Path; Lei Lie, with his Thunder Spirit Physique... Each possesses a gift rarely seen in a century, and each follows their own path toward the same destination.

Deep in the Desolate Ruins, the Gate to the Ruin Realm is slowly opening.

It is no remnant of an ancient battlefield, but a gate sealed for ten thousand years. The summons from beyond it is awakening something dormant within the ten prodigies.

And the truth is

Their talent was never a gift.

It was a mark of being chosen.
