Heaven’s wrath descended. After Ling Xiao failed his tribulation, the ninefold lightning punishment tore his soul apart, yet amid the ashes he struck back at the source of the Heavenly Dao and devoured the core of its lofty order. He should have perished, but an even more ancient will lay dormant within him: Yu Jin, the first Demon Venerable, once sealed away by the Heavenly Dao. Their souls entwined, neither enemies nor allies. Ling Xiao wants to shatter the Heavenly Dao and reshape its laws, while Yu Jin seeks to annihilate this false-god realm completely. As the remnants of the lightning tribulation become demonic flames and immortal bones crack into demonic runes, which of them is the true master of destiny? Will it be Ling Xiao defying Heaven, or Yu Jin’s song of destruction?
