The world's foremost Daoist Venerable gave up ascending to immortality and returned to Earth for a vacation, only to arrive just in time for the apocalypse!
Lin Chen: I only meant to visit my hometown. I'd be back in a year to keep serving as sect master in the Xuanling Realm.
Who knew a purple meteor would come crashing down and turn the whole world into a playground for zombies?
Fine, I might as well save the world while I'm at it.
S-rank evolvers, King-level zombies: to me, a Daoist Venerable, they're all a one-sword job.
Ancient immortal caves, supreme spiritual treasures: they all recognize me as their master automatically. I can't stop them!
Lin Chen: The cultivation civilization on Earth sure knows how to behave.
A year after the cataclysm, Lin Chen's cultivation has recovered to the Deity Transformation Realm. He opens a spatial passage, ready to head home and call for backup.
Then he's stunned.
His Lingxiao Sect is gone.
His million disciples are gone.
The entire Xuanling Realm is gone.
A bloodstained jade slip tells him:
"Master, the Tianxu Realm destroyed the Xuanling Realm. They're coming to Earth to capture you now!"
Lin Chen: ???
So I came back to Earth just to wait for them to come capture me?
Fine.
Since you destroyed my sect and killed my disciples,
I'll bring down your Tianxu Realm and slaughter your entire clan!
Across the Myriad Worlds, I reign supreme!
