Chu Tiange is Qingyun Sect’s most infamous good-for-nothing.
After three years of cultivation, he is still at the early Qi Refining stage, the laughingstock of the entire sect. He comes in last at the sect tournament, and his fiancée tears up their engagement in front of everyone, telling him, “You’re not worthy of me,” and crushing him into the dirt.
Everyone thinks his life is over.
Then he is exiled to the medicinal garden behind the mountain, where he unexpectedly obtains an ancient forbidden technique: the Heaven-Devouring Art.
Even the Heavenly Dao fears this technique. Anyone who cultivates it will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao, and progress at only one-tenth the speed of an ordinary cultivator. But the price conceals a gift: every breakthrough multiplies their combat power tenfold.
At Qi Refining, he slays Foundation Establishment cultivators. At Foundation Establishment, he slaughters Golden Core cultivators.
Others cultivate through talent; he does it by risking his life. Others rely on fortune to break through; he stakes everything.
A tide of demonic beasts descends, thousands surround the sect, and the protective formation crumbles. Everyone is plunged into despair. Three Foundation Establishment beast kings run rampant, and even the sect master, a Golden Core cultivator, is defeated.
No one notices the “good-for-nothing” in the medicinal garden behind the mountain slowly opening his eyes.
In that battle, he slays three demonic beasts at Qi Refining, butchers hundreds at Foundation Establishment, and cuts through the beast tide alone with nothing but his sword.
The entire sect is shaken; tens of thousands watch in awe. Those who once mocked him now kneel and tremble. The woman who broke off their engagement is consumed by regret.
But this is only the beginning.
Reincarnated Immortal Emperors, the will of the Heavenly Dao, rulers of the immortal realm... One powerful enemy after another stands in his way.
Chu Tiange laughs. “Anyone who stands in my way will be killed without mercy. I alone shall reign supreme against the heavens.”
This is the story of a good-for-nothing defying fate and changing his life, and a battle hymn written in blood and fire.
