A Thousand Embers, All Traces Gone

[Xuanhuan] + [traditional Xuanhuan] + [feel-good power fantasy] + [invincible male lead] + [Reborn] + [a Dao Lord in his previous life] + [a good-for-nothing who rises to power in this life] + [decisive and ruthless] + [fiery and passionate]

The great emperor of his past life is reborn from the ashes in this one.

Lu Jin was once the Ashen Heaven Dao Lord, who ruled the Xuanhuang Dao Domain for fifty thousand years. His most trusted cultivation partner and sworn brother joined forces to ambush him. As his soul was about to be annihilated, a fragment of his true spirit escaped into the cycle of reincarnation.

In this life, he is the Lu family’s good-for-nothing illegitimate son in Luoxia City, Great Wilderness Realm. His meridians are destroyed, his dantian shattered, and he has been banished to the woodshed, where he endures endless scorn and bullying. On the night of his sixteenth birthday, a blood sacrifice performed in a moment of despair accidentally awakens the Primordial Ashen Wheel sleeping within him.

The Primordial Ashen Wheel is a sacred artifact of the Great Dao, capable of incinerating all things and extracting their essence. While ordinary cultivators slowly advance by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Lu Jin uses heaven and earth as fuel. He burns resources, enemies, and laws, even the Heavenly Dao itself, forging an unprecedented path: the Ashen Dao.

“As long as the ashes endure, I will not die.”

In this life, he will no longer be an ant beneath the Heavenly Dao. He will burn away this decaying old Heavenly Dao and devour his way into a path of his own: the Ashen Dao.
