Li Youxuan, abandoned by the Netherworld Sect, bears the Nine Nether Dao Seed, the only one of its kind throughout the ages. In the nine-layered world supported by the Nine Abyss Ancient Tree, demonic cultivators are as lowly as ants, while prodigies shine like stars, and he will become the abyss that devours those stars.
The "Tribulation of Seeking the Dao," which comes once every ninety thousand years, descends. Prodigies from the Nine Abysses gather atop the ancient tree, competing through their Dao hearts. The defeated see their Dao shattered and die; the victors devour everything. Jun Linyuan, the foremost of the righteous path, regards demonic cultivators as ants. Jian Wuhen of the Sword Pavilion tests his edge with the heart-sword, while the Buddhist sect's Brahma Voice vows to save demons and prove the Dao, and Li Youxuan has only one answer: "Anyone who stands in the way of my pursuit of the Dao must die." From the Nether Abyss to the Dao Abyss, from Condensing the Void to Severing Causality, he takes the demonic path as his vessel and walks an invincible road paved with the bones of prodigies.
At the Dao-Seeking Platform, Yue Qingyi demands coldly, "How can a demonic cultivator be worthy of seeking the Dao?"
Nine Nether energy surges around Li Youxuan. With a raised hand, he devours her Moonlit Dao Intent and says calmly, "Your Dao is too pure, so pure that... it can't withstand a single blow."
When Li Youxuan finally steps into the Ninth Abyss, he discovers that the Nine Nether Dao Seed was no gift from heaven and earth, but a game of chess spanning the ages. Someone is waiting for him. They have been waiting for ninety thousand years.
