Cultivation is theft from Heaven. I, however, will be the one to bury Heaven.
The Hongmeng Ancestral Tree is withering, and the foundations of the immortal path are on the verge of collapse.
Cultivation is nothing more than plunder that hastens the extinction of all things.
Ascension is nothing more than a sacrifice that lets others reap the rewards.
Lu Zhanyuan is an ordinary mortal scout, stepping into this crumbling world with a blade in hand.
No bloodline, no spiritual root, no inheritance.
Only a murderous heart tempered amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the insight to see through the source of every technique.
He claws his way up from the filth at the very bottom, improving flawed cultivation methods and exposing the weaknesses of divine abilities.
Caught between immortal sects and demonic lairs, he carves out a path to survival through slaughter.
When confidantes gather at his side, when brothers-in-arms tread the corpse-strewn battlefield with him, when his enemies' souls scatter...
Only then does he realize that he has cut through more than the thorns on the immortal path. He has also uncovered the world's bloody truth.
"Cultivation methods are poison, realms are shackles, and immortality is bait."
"If this immortal path uses all living beings as fuel and the universe as its furnace..."
"Then I shall..."
Defy this Heaven-stealing path and rekindle the source of the Ancestral Tree.
Bury all the false immortals in this world, and forge a new heavenly path!
