Lin Chen was taken in by the Azure Cloud Sect as a child. But because he was born with the Myriad Tribulations Physique, he couldn't cultivate spiritual energy. The entire sect mocked him as a “disaster-starred good-for-nothing,” subjecting him to endless bullying and exclusion.
Just as the sect was about to expel him and throw him into the Myriad Demons Valley to feed the monsters, a Dao Mark awakened between his brows, revealing the truth about his physique.
He stopped suppressing his power and devoured the murderous intent and tribulation energy of his fellow disciples in front of everyone. He broke through a realm overnight, humiliated the prodigies with face-slapping comebacks, and reclaimed his dignity.
From then on, he fed on tribulation energy and drew strength from his enemies. He braved perilous lands, seized supreme treasures, fought prodigies, and avenged his blood feud, gradually uncovering the origins of his physique and the truth behind the fall of the ancient Divine Realm. In the end, with the power of Myriad Tribulations, he forged the supreme Great Dao and became the Eternal Lord of Tribulations, standing above all the heavens.
- World: The Great Xuanhuang World, where martial prowess reigns supreme. Cultivators absorb spiritual energy, establish their Dao foundations, and break through realms. Sects abound, dynasties vie for power, and the ancient Divine Realm lies hidden in the void.
- Cultivation ranks: Body Tempering Realm → Qi Gathering Realm → Profound Mystery Realm → King Realm → Emperor Realm → Saint Realm → Heavenly Venerable Realm → Eternal Realm
- Core concepts:
1. Myriad Tribulations Physique: The only forbidden physique in existence. It cannot absorb spiritual energy and feeds only on tribulation energy, karmic power, murderous intent, and resentment. The higher its cultivator's realm, the stronger the heavenly tribulations it stirs up and the more terrifying its combat power becomes.
2. Dao Mark Fragment: A fragment of an ancient Dao Mark hidden between the protagonist's brows. It can trace karma, see through illusions, and avert certain death. It is his only trump card for staying alive.
3. Factional landscape: Azure Cloud Sect, the protagonist's sect, divided from within and ruled by the law of the jungle → the eight great sects of the region → the races of the ancient Divine Realm.
