Chen Yang, founder of the world's most powerful underground organization, the Asura Hall, is a martial arts grandmaster at the pinnacle of the Force Transformation realm. He possesses two heaven-defying inheritances: the Myriad Transformations Mystic Art and the Nine Needles of Revitalization.
Six years later, he returns home quietly. He plans to fulfill his master's final wish and then retreat to the mountains, but finds himself plunged into layers of schemes and intrigue: a wealthy family calls off an engagement, bullies force people from their homes, an old enemy sets a trap, and powerful clans try to suppress him...
But none of that matters.
What truly shocks him is that the jade pendant his mother left behind points to an ancient clan that was wiped out overnight twenty years ago. The mastermind behind that massacre is still watching from the shadows.
As ancient spiritual energy begins to revive beneath the concrete and steel of the modern city; as the Western Church's call to holy war rings out and Mount Tai becomes the final battleground between good and evil; as an ancient teleportation array slowly opens deep in the Kunlun Mountains and shadows from a higher plane loom over the entire Earth...
Chen Yang finally realizes that his twenty-three years of wandering and hardship have been nothing more than an opening move in an ancient game of chess.
The real story is only just beginning.
This is the legend of an Asura who fights from the mortal realm to the upper world, rising from an ordinary man to eternity.
