Spiritual energy has run dry, and the path to immortality is dead.
In this lawless age where people prey on one another, mortals are as insignificant as grass, no more than expendable labor for sects mining spiritual ore.
Su Ming transmigrates into this world. His entire family is enslaved, he has no spiritual roots, and he is sentenced to a life with no hope of redemption. When the powerful throw him into a death cell for a crime he never committed, when all his evils are whitewashed as justice, Su Ming finally sees the truth of this world:
The immortal sects are just powerful clans, and immortality means endless exploitation.
If the Heavenly Dao is unjust, then he will abandon its path to immortality!
From a dying body to forcibly opening spiritual roots through his flesh; from a withered black root, he glimpses the ancient secrets of countless beings bleeding and weeping. He does not cultivate the Heavenly Dao; he cultivates himself. With a mortal body, he will refine the blood of myriad spirits. The path he will walk is one to godhood, using all living beings as steps and all things as tools.
If this path to immortality feeds on all living beings, then I will become the demon who devours immortality!
