Su Chen, a good-for-nothing boy from Qingniu Village whose origins are shrouded in mystery and whose aptitude is mediocre, receives a mysterious black jade pendant shortly before the village chief dies. From then on, he embarks on a cultivation path that defies fate.
He rises from the most obscure outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect to become its foremost inner disciple and greatest prodigy; from the pinnacle of the mortal realm of Jiuzhou to ascending to the Immortal Realm and founding the Chenxue Palace; from a “heretic” hunted by the Heavenly Dao to the reincarnation of a God of War who leads the Heaven-Slaying Alliance in breaking the Divine Realm's prison. Step by step, Su Chen uncovers his true identity and the cruelest truth about the world:
Ascension is not the end. It's a trap.
The Divine Realm is no paradise. It's a prison.
The Heavenly Dao is no set of laws. It's a machine that harvests all living beings.
As the memories of an ancient God of War awaken in his bloodline and the five seals on the black jade pendant are broken one by one, Su Chen finally understands: the enemy he must face is no demonic sect leader or immortal master, but the very creator of this world!
To protect his dear friend Wang Fugui, the woman he loves, Lin Qingxue, and his loyal companion Bai Ling'er, and to free the people of the three realms enslaved by the Heavenly Dao, Su Chen burns his essence and breaks through every limit. He rises from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the Dao Ancestor realm, then wages a cosmic battle against the Heavenly Dao at the peak of the Divine Realm for three days and three nights. At last, he breaks the million-year cycle of harvesting and establishes an entirely new order of cultivation...
It's alright, you can take a look.
