In his previous life, Lin Yechen endured endless bullying and froze to death in a desolate mountain wilderness. A hundred years later, he was reborn as nothing but a skeleton. Though he awakened the legacy of the Hongmeng Immortal Venerable, the Heavenly Dao decreed that he had no spiritual roots, no dantian, and no meridians, and could never cultivate immortality. Cornered with no way out, he created the forbidden art Ten Thousand Bones Hongmeng Art, forging a path with bone as his Dao and baleful energy as his guide, setting out on an anti-immortal path that would astonish the world.
Lin Yechen was born with a talent for reverse artifact refining: ordinary scrap iron always yielded divine techniques, while top-grade immortal materials failed nine times out of ten. The world mocked him as the Heavenly Dao's castoff, never realizing that every disastrous failure at the highest level was secretly building his foundation for defying the immortals. When he used ordinary weapons to cut down the heads of prodigies and crushed powerful sect masters with armor-piercing critical hits, the jeers turned to cries of shock and fear.
From silent bone to celestial bone, from skeleton to immortal body, Lin Yechen rebuilt himself with the help of the Ten Thousand Bones Formation Dao. With self-healing and damage-reduction armor, he stood against armies; with teleporting boots, he darted between life and death. Whenever a Hongmeng immortal treasure appeared by chance, it heralded his turn to destroy heaven and earth and slay immortals above his rank.
This is a dark tale of an utterly unconventional rise to power. Even dry bones can attain the Dao, and even a loser can become a god. Watch as the protagonist grows more invincible with every spectacular failure, shatters the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, destroys ten thousand sects, slays mighty foes, and becomes the Immortal-Defying Dao Ancestor of the ages!
